FORTS RAID SCHWEINFURT
BY Doris FleeSOn

! was lucky. BY chance I walked
right into preparations for one of
the greatest bombing missions in
history. This was the vast raid on
Schweinfurt. saw our boys take off
and I saw them return.
The small world of bomber base
in England is organized with utter
precision toward one end-to get
those planes off the ground, over the
target and home. One mission fol-
lows another and everybody knows
exactly what to do or is told. Out
wardly it is calm, but in the back
ground is always one brutal fact:
some of our aircraft do not return.
When the planes are out on a dam
gerous mission, voices get shriller
and men appear reluctant to aban-
don one another's company.
Americans and the Raj share
their secret skills but not their way
of life. Our base is piece of Amer
ica-food, equipment, wise-cracks.
Few English faces are seen and
these are usually liaison officers.
Everybody knew that the coming
raid on Schweinfurt was to be some
thing special, that there were some
Of the most important targets ever
bombed anywhere. The sNazis are
aware how vital ball bearings are to
the war and the plants that make
them had been tucked deep into the
mountain folds of Bavaria. The
Nazis knew Allied fighter planes
could not carry enough gasoline to
protect the invading bombers which
would have to face Nazi fighter fire
for hundreds of miles. But For
tresses have firepower to protect
themselves and they have a bomb
sight to hit any target. Months ago
their crews were handed nameless
maps of the Schweinfurt targets to
study. In English skies they prac-
ticed over and over again forma-
tons which would doom the facto-
ries.

Finally the crews were briefed.
But weather forced cancellation.
So important was security on this
raid, Colonel Harding restricted to

and fought Nothing was to be
gained by battle except a few thou
sand American and Canadian casu-
alties and satisfaction of the old
warrior code that rules out sur
render and retreat. But Hitherto
the Japanese command has not
needed such realistic considera-
"tions.
What does the flight from Kiska
mean? Is it the first step in a
new strategic plan of hemisphere
proportions, a withdrawal from the
far outposts to some inner, more
defensible fortress? Or is it a
preliminary to a new offensive
move, a desperate lashing out at
some supposedly vulnerable joint
in the Allied armor, perhaps at
the behest of and to save Japan's
sorely beset partners in Europe?
It might be the latter. There is
no doubt that Hitler's representa-
tives in Tokyo have been using
all the persuasive powers at their
command to convince TOTO and
company that the only hope of the
Axis partners to avert destruction
is common, concerted action,
some devastating blow now, be-
fore it is too late. The one thing
that would, for the moment at
least, most improve the outlook
for Germany would be japanese

Early was asked whether Sec
retary of the Navy Frank Knox
also would come in from Washing
ton but said he had had no word
to that effect.
After issuance of the Kiska
statement today Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Churchill canvassed the
war shipping situation at lunch
con conference with Lord Leath-
ers, British minister of war trans
port and Lewis Douglas, deputy
chairman of the United States war
shipping board. The conference
continued into the afternoon,
Goes For Drive
Subsequently the President went
for a drive with Malcolm Mac
Donald, British high commission
er to Canada, and his sister, Miss
Sheila Macdonald. Meanwhile
Brendan Bracken, British minister
of information, met with Prime
Minister King, and later Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull and the
prime minister motored through
the city.
Announcement that the long
dreaded battle for the rugged and
once-strongly held Aleutians bas-
ton had been won without firing
a shot occasioned the greatest
surprise in this Allied war capital.
For the time being it dominated
the scene heretofore characteriz-
ed by planning on a global scale
for battles yet to come.
1t was evident that Roosevelt
and Mackenzie King, while they
naturally had known the news for
some time prior to it's disclosure,
were impressed mainly with the
lack of resistance. Most of their
brief statements discussed it, and
sought to explain it.
New Period
In short time Kiska was be.
ing spoken of among the military
and naval observers here as a
symbol of a new period in Japa-
nese military policy-a period in
which the embattled Nipponese no
longer can afford to squander hui
man lives in face-saving defense
of doomed territory. 1t was eval-
uated, too, as starting point
for new offensive action aimed at

United States Navy, has a good

sells could be serviced while bat

nese have lost good Pacific OBJ
servation post.
The capture closes the last gap
in the northern route to the Kuri-
les. Distances there are important.
Kiska is only about 1900 miles
from Tokyo itself. Attu is 172 miles
closer. With those two bases for
plane and surface craft a long
step has been taken in the ulti-
mate assault upon the japanese
homeland.

In the absence of any announce
ment to the contrary it was gen.

the President and the Canadian
prime minister were continuing
their planning today with the en-
phasis on political aspects of the

The grand strategy for victory

Where the Japanese might have
fled is a mystery. However it is
possible that surface units slipping
through the fog to carry out the
evacuation might have crept back
to bases in the northern Kuriles,
possibly at Paramushiro, enemy
naval base which already has been
bombed three times by American
forces reaching ever closer to the
enemy's homeland.
The lack of opposition on Kiska

surprise. Never before in this war
have the Japanese withdrawn from
a base without waging a suicidal
fight. On neighboring Attu, defeat
ed Japanese troops armed even
with bayonets tied on sticks, raid
ed American camps in a final fu-
tile battle last May Then survivors
hugged grenades to their chests
and died on the island they had
sought vainly to retain. The diff
ference at Kiska could represent
change in enemy policy.
More than a year Of attacks-at-
tacks that now can be turned west
ward toward enemy bases closer
to Tokyo-were carried out in the
Aleutians campaign which begin
in June, 1912, with the abortive
attempt of the Japanese to capture
Dutch Harbor. Defeated in that ef-
fort they established bases on At
tu, Kiska and Agattu. Subsequently
they abandoned Agattu in favor
Of concentrating their strength on
Attu, whence they were driven
three months ago, and on larger
Kiska.
Aerial assaults on those bases
were coupled with blockade
which prevented movement Of sup
plies or reinforcements for the
enemy garrisons.
Capture of Kiska-eliminatio of
the Japanese in the A1eutians -
opens the way for renewed assaults
on Paramushiro, principal Japa-
nese naval base at the northern
end Of the Kurile island chain of
which Japan itself is a part, as
well as other bases.
It means also that new an

orable pressure that the Red army
ic avnrfip0 m tho Uah r,,o q oh%

orable pressure that the Red army
is exerting on the Wehrmacht.
Such an attack is certainly a
possibility. The flower of the Japa-
nese army, some thirty-odd divi-
sions, half a million men or more,
that make up the Kwantung army,
is in Manchuria, arrayed along the
Siberian border. Perhaps another
million men, now in North China
or the Japanese home islands,
would be available for a thrust
into Russia's maritime province.
Two generations of japanese mill
tary men have been taught that
war with Russia is inevitable, that
one day Japan must wipe out the
menace of the air and naval bases
around Vladivostok, only 700 miles
from Tokyo. This may be the time.
But there is another offensive
enterprise to which Japan's still
formidable reserves may be turn
ed. One front on which the Japa-
nese definitely are not on the de-
fensive and from which they are
not retreating is Burma. The latest
dispatches from that area tell of
recent forward movement by the
enemy close to India's borders.
The Japanese know that an Al
lied offensive IN Burma is in the
making, that we are compelled by
the logic OF the Asiatic military
situation to make mighty effort
to slash through the enemy Gordon
to restore effective military COM
munications with China. They
know that China is the key to the
defense of Japan itself, that once
the Americans have air bases in
eastern China it will be Japan's
turn to know the torment that has
oeen visited on the Ruhr, Hamburg,
Rome, Naples.
So the horns pulled in at Kiska
may become manifest soon on In
dia's eastern border. Or the Japa-
nese may try again to deliver that
knockout blow to Chang Kai-shek's S
government, an achievement that
could prolong the Pacific war for
years, perhaps even gain that
stalemate which the Japanese
would welcome as victory.
