has made secure one link in the front line defenses of the United States and its territory in the north Pacific area"
 General Daugherty, who was credited with having played an important role in the development of three large military installa- tions in Alaska, was cited for in- vestigaitng every opportunity for expeditions completion of prof. ect exercising excellent judgment in planning for future undertak- ings and instilllng in others the spirit of getting the job done. '
 General Linden's citation said; "He assumed command of large base in the Aleutian Islands, where an airfield and other i'm portant installations were in progress of construction, and un- der his supervision this base has become a strong offensive position against the enemy"
 The posts commanded by the four generals are among the lar gest bases in Alaska and the Aleutians.

FISH CONSUMPTION

According to the Coordlnator Of Fish cries, contrary to the belief that meat rationing has increased civilian con- sumption of fish, civilians in the United States have been eating less fish, even during periods of strict meat ratlonlng than they eat in normal times when plenty of meat was available.
 Per capita consumption of fish and fish products by civilians in the United States, always comparatively low, now has dropped to 98 pounds per year, in- cluding fresh, canned and cured varie- ties.
 But men and women in the armed forces have been getting twice as much
 Before the war the average American ate 13.3 pounds of fish each year-more than the average Australian, far less than the average Jap who ate 55 pounds of fish year the average Swede with 52 pounds and the Britisher's 35 pounds
 Before the war Americans ate some 25,0O00O0 pounds year of imported sardines and about $5,000,000 worth of canned crab from Japan yearly.
 But while the average consumption of fish is less in this country, apparently more persons are eating fish than be- fore. The heaviest market always has been on the coast, but now Chicago is becoming fish conscious. In 1889 only 4S, ,000 900 pounds were sold in Chicago and last year this figure was 84'000,- GOO pounds.
 Most of the fish produced, of course, goes for the armed forces and lend-lease requirements. More than half of the canned salmon produced has gone for such purposes.-(Juneau Empire).

Jones was responsible for the planning and supervision of the construction of a major Alaskan base where conditions of severe cold, unsuitable terrain and lack of transportation facilities requir- ed the development of new engi- neering methods in order that the installation be completed on schedule" said his citation.

|As laps Create New
| Supreme War Council
81 the Associat had Press.

~ the AS6oelSte0 EfeA4,
Premier Kuniaki Koiso Of Japan
declared today that an adjust
ment" leading to greater harmony
between the supreme command and
governmental affair." was more
important than any other matter. !"
This declaration came Is the Tokyo
Information Board announced creA-
ton Of new Japanese Supreme
War Council. The announcements
were carried In hroadcast press dis
patches by the Japanese Domei
agency and recorded by the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
The Supreme War Council, Tokyo
said, was established with imperial
sanction" In order ITO map out 4
basic policy for directing the war
and In an effort to obtain greater
harmony and ordination between
the fighting and civil services"
Liaison Council Abolished.
Japan's present Liaisdn Council,
which has served as 4 link between
Japanese imperial headquarters and
the government, has been "abcl-'
ished," the Information Board an
nouncement said.
However. 1t has been decided, =
said the announcement, that a
regular weekly meeting shall take
place between imperial headquar-
ters and the government for the
exchange Of information"
Another Dormei broadcast said
the Japanese cabinet has decided
ITO arm the entire people" for
total war. The decision was taken
after q long session yesterday with
Koiso 'in order to complete the ma
tion's total war structure" said
Domei's English-language broad
cast, beamed to the United States.
Thorough Study Of Details.
"The authorities of the ~army,
navy. home and education min
isteries," 1t said, will recommend
practical steps to be adopted fol-
lowing a thorough study of details. !"
Premier Koiso issued a statement
quoting Emperor Hirohito as ap-
proving the plan for the Supreme
War Council and as saying that the
council would leave mo stones un-
turned" in pursuing the 'fopmu-
lating OF the supreme policy con-
corning the direction Of the war
and In the adjustment and har-
monizing strategy Of the sacred
war"
The Tokyo radio. in another
broadcast recorded by the Asso-
ciated Press, announced appoint
ment of Vice Admiral Seibi Inouye

has proven adept at a stand with
out fortifications.
And the German infantryman has
proved equally adept at digging in
as a last resort-and being labori-
ously hard to dig out of his hole.
That-with the aid Of a drenching
downpour-was what Gen. Sir
Bernard Montgomery's Orne break
through ran into beyond Caen In
July.
British Thrust Stopped.
The rain and an infantry-manned
antitank wall of 75s and 88s gave
the Germans time to hole-in and
mount counterattacks. The British
thrust was stopped before it could
force Rommel's armor into action
That strategy is plain, right down
to Nhe fighting man on the front
An American paratrooper back from
six weeks of rough h-and- tumble
fighting put it this way:
Get him running and you can
keep him on the run. But Just stop
long enough to light a cigarette and
Jerry will dig in and fight until you
go right into the hole after him."
At this moment Jerry is on the
run. But he's running at most
places behind dogged suicide stand
rearguard crust hoping for time to
dig in anew.
Fitting closely into the enemy's
whole uncertain next defense is the
fighting manpower he has available
or can move UP from other men,
aced or engaged fronts In spite Of
Allied bombs and French resistance.
