ALLIES CAPTURE ROM E
BOMBING RAIDS NOW IN FIFTH STRAIGHT DAY

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5. -tAP)-Another bombing attack on the north Pacific Kurile Is- lands by Aleu' ian based American planes, carried into the fifth con- secutive day the attacks which prompted a renewal in the specu- lation that the possibility of an invasion blow to the Japanese homeland via the Aleutian route, might be impending.
 It appears certain that the Kur- ile Islands is the chain of step ping stones from the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula to the Nip ponese main islands, and will play most important part in the final encirclement, but it will be some time before Japan is conn pletely conquered.
 Whether the current raids are just the softening up ahead of the offensive forces IS not fully ap- parent, in that there are two ma jor possibilities which appear in explanation of the intensified action.
 One of these is that the Aleu- tian. air forces might be taking advantage of the break in the weather, and he other may be broad plan to force the Japs to pull their forces in from the outer Kariles.
