lANkS POISED TO WIPE OUT ATTU JAPS
~. Army Testing Ground

fort is put forth in operating mo-
torized equipment and tabulating
results. Tests are made on equip
ment ranging from quarter-ton
jeepS to four-ton trucks.
Sand plays vital part in the eX-
periments for it not only is used for
driving equipment over but its ef-
fects on motors are carefully watch
ed. Sand found in this area is very
similar to that of the African des-
ert, Col Engler stated.
Maximum efficiency in perform
ance under all ;ypes OF conditions
is the goal sought during the eX-
periments, it was explained.
Although some types of tires and
equipment might reach a point OF
high near perfection, indications are
that the test command will remain
active in this district during the en-
tire war, as new and more efficient
equipment is constantly being de-
veloped and will require testing.

dents why they are frequently an
noyed by the passing of numbering
tanks and other equipment of mod
ern warfare.
The command is testing the dura-
bility of synthetic ruler tires and
motorized equipment SO that when
they are sent to the fighting forces
of the Allied Nations in various
parts of the world, the bugs will
have been completely eliminated.
TELLS SITUATION
Lieut-Colonel j. E. Engler, chief
officer at the Camp Seeley COM
mand, summed up the situation
graphically Thursday when he said:
I'VE are forced to drive at high
speed for the tires to acquire the
heat necessary to properly test
them"
Talk that tests in the desert area
are no longer needed now that the
war in Africa is over was Scotched
by the commander, who said that

Boy Kills Little
Girl In Accident
Involving Rifle
Tragic Shooting Takes
Life of Playmate of
1O-Year-Old Boy Here

Edna Evelyn White, 10,
was dead from a bullet
wound in the head Thursday
and Nathaniel Landsdale, 10,
was a grief stricken little
boy because he killed his playmate
The tragedy in which these 10
year-old children played leading
roles occurred in northeast Ell Gen.
tro late Wednesday afternoon. The
Landsdale boy fired % rifle
through the screen door of a house
in which he was playing with two
other little boys. The bullet struck
the little girl in the head as she
played with other children in the
street near the house, Ell Centre
police and deputT SheriffS said.
CHILDREN PLAYING
Nathaniel, II. B. Jordan, 8, and
Melvin Alton, 7, were playing to-
gether in the Chester Alton home
at 1865 Magnolia avenue. Officers
said the Jordon boy took 30 rifle
from the TOP of closet and gave it
to Nathaniel They said Nathaniel

tires acquire great heat at high
speed in most any country. He
mentioned also that great desert
areas likewise exist in Australia and
parts of China.
Cne of the outstanding pieces of
work done by the command is COM
piling a maze of data resulting from
tests each week. Reports frequent
ly contain more than 200 mimeo-
graphed pages and are Illustrated
with pictures of vehicles in action
and maps of country over which
they operate.
COMPLIES DATA
A force of six persons complies
data from tire experiments alone
while numerous others are engag-
ed in posting results of motor tests.
A photographer at the command
turns out approximately 2400 pic
lures each week.
While tire testing is the chief
function of the command, great ef-

the enemy forces nave been driven
into a position where their only
choices apparently, are death or
surrender. Compressed in a relative
ly small space, the japanese are
cow liable to pulverizing blows from
the sea and air as well as from the
forces driving against them by
land
The end of the joint army-navy
campaign to eXpel the Japanese
from the westernmost Aleutian is
land-started May 11-appeared to
be imminent.
The navy's announcement of the
capture of Sarana Pass followed
press conference disclosure by Sec
retary of War Henry L. Stimson
that American forces which landed
on both sides of the island had
effected a juncture and captured
the Holtz bay area, not far from
Chichagof harbor.
The capture of Sarana Pass, ef-
fected yesterday, indicated that the
final phase of the battle for Attu
island was imminent
The navy revealed that guns on
supporting American surface ships
on Tuesday cleared another pass,
through the ridge southeast of
Holtz bay, where only Japanese
snipers had remained after our
ground forces had captured the
pass and the surrounding heights.
1t was this action which enabled
our forces to clear the Japanese
out of the Holtz bay area.
Our casualties thus far report
ed" Stimson revealed, have been
relatively light, but sharp fighting
may occur before the operation is
completed"
StimSon said the Americans have
captured the entire Holtz bay area,
including a partly completed land
ing strip and large quantities of
supplies, guns, and ammunition.
A captured japanese anti aircraft
battery, with ammunition intact, is
now being used b. the Americans
in horizontal fire against the enemy,
StimSon said.
American forces from Holtz Bay
on the north of Massacre Bay in
the south have joined on the GEN.
tral ridge of the island are now
concentrated in an attack on the
japanese positions on Chicagof har-
Dor.
