North Pacific Action
Cincinnati Enquirer

 A straight line drawn from the center of the United States north and east through the Aleutans could be traced to the Island of Paramushiro, northernmost bastion of Japan in the Kurile 2rch- pelago Paramushro is not large nor is it in itself important But it took on added significance, mil- tarily few days ago when flight of great Libera- tor bombers, striking from our new land bases in the Aleutians made determined and damaging at tack on the Kurile stronghold.
 Aside from the raid Tokyo this latest opera ton brought American fighters closer to the Japa- nese homeland than they have been during the war proved things: First, that strike direct at the home islands of Nippon from bases already established in the north; and second, that it will not be necessary wait for the fall of Kiska before beginning offensive toward the south.
 With the stepping up of Kska attacks in recent weeks, it presumed by certain observers that the North Pacific command would wait until the fall of this island before carrying the war toward Tokyo. It has been pointed out however. that the conquest of Attu effectively cut off the Kiska rison; that it may now be possible to bypass it en- tirely. With it's supply lanes severed Kska in time certain to capitulate without too great losses to troops.
 As United States Aleutian bases perfected as our forward line creeps farther and farther toward the gates of Tokyo; our bombers gain in effici- ency increasing distances, the plight of Japan be- comes precarious But victory in that theater is still far from the horizon. The of victory will rise, but there many hours of darkness ahead. The night passes; but the dawn is not yet.

JUST WHAT ALASKA NEEDS

The imaginations of Alaskans, who realize the difficulties of roadbudng are stirred by the articles on proposed hybrid vehicles which would incorporate both the qualities of aircraft and auto.
 Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation proposes such vehicles after the They designed for the company by William B. Stout, head of it's research division has exciting visions of leaping over creeks, rivers bays, mountains and volcanoes and still enjoying the advantages of readable vehicle in Mir Stohts "helicab." Then there are the aerocar and the readable airplane, airplanes with detachable wings designed for speeds from 35 miles an hour on the ground to 12O miles hour in the air The last of this trio is described by the designer vehicle with four wheels and folding wings for the convenience of the business man who wants light delivery truck which become magic carpet with a flying range of 400 miles
 At first glance these proposals seem to have touch of Buck Rogers about them. But we cannot dismiss least visionary minds in the aircraft industry are the possibilities they indicate Some of the sanest and turning toward serious consideration of combination road air vehicles MT Stout himself has proved that besides being ~stirrer- upper he is practical and far-seeing engineer, esteemed a designer by his associates in the Society of Automotive Engineers If some of his creations to date, such the revou tionary, rear-engined scarab car have not reached quantity production it probably has been due to the
 ultra conservatism the part of big business rather than to any fundamental mpractcability of design. The conventional airplane taxi on the ground. Why not expand this phase of it's abilities?
 It must be admitted that the prospect of project ing the Sunday driver into the air has it's alarming aspects But in the light of the technical advance nents in every field of aviation even since the war began it would be rash man who would say that it cannot be done.

People who have talked to the duPonts lately find that they are very much opposed to Wendell Will kie, consider him too progressive, but are very strong for Gov. Dewey Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, who has not been so keen about Willkie lately, took a trip through New England this summer and was amazed at Will kie's popularity. In that part of the country, according to Bridges, there is no question whom the Republi- cans want as their 1944 nominee The AFL and CIO got to- gether in Illinois recently and de- cided that Democratic Senator

YES, WE HAVE NO BANANAS

ES, WE HAVE GNO BANANAS
 Who gets Mexicos bananas? While President Roosevelt is in Quebec, he might say word to Prime Minister Mackenzie King about the question, for Canada is now getting most of the bananas that would normally come to the United States from Mexico and Guatemala.
 This is because U. s. price ceil- ings have made this market less attractive.
 U. s. fruit merchants. done out of a good product, appealed to the Office of Defense Transportation, which appealed to the Interstate Commerce Commission, which is- sued a ban on use of U. S. cars to carry freight from one foreign country to another.
 This was aimed at banana cars sent from Mexico across the U. s. A. to Canada. It stopped the ship ments, but not for long. Promptly, the Mexican Embassy in Washing ton protested to the State Depart ment, asking relief from the ban, and MT. Hull protested to ODT.
 Solution probably will be an agree ment to limit banana shipments to Canada, cutting off the big ship Inents. and making more bananas available to the U S.A.

The Shangri-La
CNew York Times

tNew York Tmesl
 The United States Navy, instigated and abetted by that lover of naval lore. Franklin D. Roosevelt, is about to break tradition There fairly strict rules for labelling ships of battleship is called after State heavy cruiser rates big city. light cruiser a small city, destroyer honors naval hero or some distinguished friend of the Navy, and submarine takes the name of a fish some ani- maj that is at home in the water Aircraft carriers enjoy more freedom, for they can be named after early fighting ships of Navy after battles. Thus the Saratoga the Bonhomme Richard, the Kearsarge But until now no ship has been named after imaginary place, the creation of a story teller's dream.
 One is going to be entitled. It is, of course, the Shangri-La. In a moment of inspiration Pres- dent Roosevelt told the reporters that the planes which bombed Tokyo tookaoff from this never-never land of James Hiltons invention. Actually their starting point the rolling deck of the Hornet, later lost in the Midway fight. So the aircraft extra dollars worth of savings stamps this month, will bestow triple honor: on MT. Hiltons bold imagination on the lost Hornet and the men who carried out what probably the most spec tacular air raid of history.
 Subscriptions for the Shangri-La well past the halfway mark. We promised that her planes will take part in another attack Tokyo exact date withheld for reasons of security. Those who haven't contributed their dollars should do so at once We don't wish to keep the Japanese waiting.

Ex-Justice Jimmy Byrnes went out to dinner the other night at the home of his old friend Walter Brown, taking with him the Byrnes' family pet, "Whiskers," a scottie which recently has been featured pictorially in Washington news papers.
 "Whiskers" was tied in the rear garden of the Brown home while the guests went in to dinner. But he protested loudly and vociferously.
