THERM0-JET
PROPULSION
DESCRIBED

TULSA, Okla, Nov. 13-The prin-
ciple of thermo-jet propulsion was
described as very simple, like the
travel of a child's inflated balloon
as the air escapes" by Charles
L. Fay, Director Of Flight Re-
search, Bell Aircraft Co, in an
address to tie Soc;ety Of Auto
motive Engineers here.
Speaking before the closing ses-
sion of the two-day sac conven-
ton. Fay said jet propulsion is an
application of Newton's third law
of motion, by which for every
action there must be an equal and
opposite reaction"
When you step out of a canoe"
Fay said, the pressure of your
foot pushes the canoe back into
the lake. That is how jet propul-
sion works
There are no problems or lubri-
cants or common engine trouble
as with gas turbine engines, the
research director said Having only
one main rotating turbine, high
exhaust gases drive the turbine,
which in turn forces a compressor,
he pointed out.
1t requires only % minutes to
change the simply constructed en-
gines, the engineers were told

CAPTURED ALEUT5,
RELEASED, WORSHIP
TOGETHER, SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Nov. 13-Twenty-three
Aleuts worshipped together here
yesterday for the first time since
they were captured by the Japanese
on Attu June 7, 1912. Liberated
by Americans, they arrived here a
few days ago enroute back to their
bleak Aleutian Islands home.
Several of them visited the Greek
Orthodox Church of the Assumption
Sunday morning and asked shyly II
they might bring the others. The
Rev. S. E. Phoutrides held special
service for them yesterday and the
Aleuts, nearly half of them chill
dren, listened intently while the pas
tor told them the story of the Good
Samaritan. Try to forgive and
forget the enemies who need Christ
themselves Try to remember
them in your prayers" the priest
concluded.
After the Holy Eucharist, the
Aleuts, accompanied by Miss Mildred
E. Van Evey, of the Sacramento,
Calf, Indian Agency, were served
bread and jam and cheese sand
wiches, milk and chocolate eclairs.
Twenty-one of the captives and
all but one of the babies born dur
ing captivity died on the Island of
Hokkaido, where the Attu natives
were taken three months after cap
ture. Alex Prosoff told interviewers
they we're forced to work in the clay
mines until liberated by American
troops.

plans.

Heat Is Getting Hotter
on War Shipping
Administration

WASHINGTON, Nov i3 - The
walls Of high-point GIs marooned
around the world are reaching
washington in increasing volume.
A spokesman for the War Shipping
Administration which transports
most of the troops - acknowledged
today that the cheat is getting hot
ter" to bring home all man eligible
for discharge.
But, he said, too many factors en-
ter into the situation for an over
night solution.
First of all, this official who ask
ed that his name not be used, told
a reporter that the War Shipping
Administration merely follows orders
from the joint chiefs of staff, picking
I'D troops when and where We are
told He insists that VISA is
meeting all. schedules of the joint
chiefs of staff.
There was no comment from the
Joint chiefs, but Army spokesman
said scarcity OF Seamen Is al III
portant factor in troop movements.
These spokesman said that on the
West Coast, for example, the lack
of men for crews is so severe that
the Army has assigned 280 soldiers
to mess duties and 200 others to do
radio work on troop carriers working
out of San Francisco.
They added, however, that the
Army expects to be only seven days
behind it's overall troop return
schedule by January l.
Roughly 100000 men month are
being brought home aboard Navy
combate vessels, 200 Army ships and
470 operated by the War Shipping
Board =.

VISITING week
at SCHOOLS IS
STARTING TODAY

Juneau schools will hold Visiting
Week starting today and ending
Friday, in honor of National Edu-
cation Week, Superintendent A. B.
Phillips announced this morning.
There will be no special pro-
grams or exhibits during the week,
but all parents are invited to at
tent classes any day and at any
hour during the week Although
this invitation is open throughout
the year, Mr.. Phillips said, this
week has been set aside as Visit
ing Week" in the hope that large
numbers of parents will make an
effort to attend class meetings over
the five-day period
Concentrated visiting over the
week is a logical way to COM
memorate National Education Week,
Mr.. Phillips said, because in this
way parents get true picture of
the everyday school life of their
children.
An early presentation of Back
to School Night considered origi-
nally as a probable way to cele-
brate National Education Week, has
been cancelled due to incompletion
of the annual exhibits shown
throughout the schools. The regular
Back to School Night" will be
held as usual some time in January
or February.

The report in the NAM News, publica-

on the part Of Stain that war in Europe

BLAME GERMAN SKILL

christian Science Monit0r)
1t is somewhat futile and certainly not
helpful until the emergency is met and
much more information is available to
hunt for someone to blame for the sur
prise element in the German offensive.
On the facts available so far. it appears
that at least the power Of the drive did
come as a surprise.
There is, however, fact which we can
blame with assurance and without doing
harm to the Allied cause. That fact is the
unquestioned skill possessed by the Ger
mans in camouflage and concealment.
War is a thorough business, and the Ger
man thoroughness is proverbial. And of
this thorough business nothing calls for
such meticulous, constant, unflagging
pains as the Job of concealing intentions
and movements from the enemy 1t is
not just knowing how to disguise and
hide Allied military men know the tricks
as we'll as the Nazis It is the method
cal, disciplined, never-failing attention to
the smallest detail which makes the tricks
consistently effective. And at this the
Germans are superlative.
Earlier in the war it was being said
that when the control of the air was lost,
all was lost. Yet the Germans in Italy
and on the Western Front since D-Day
have been able to resist stubbornly and
skillfully in the face Of overwhelming
Allied air superiority partly because
they have known how to screen their
movements with a surprising. degree of
success. And now, aided in the bargain
by the very weather conditions they hop
ed for, they have been able to prepare
and launch major offensive.

Country Awaits
Nazi Answer
To Mass Murders

WASHINGTON, Jan. l. (UP) -
The United States has chalked up
another war crime against Germany
as it waited for the Nazi reply to
its strongest possible protest for
the execution CT about lis unarm-
ed American prisoners in the First
army front.
1t was the first major reported
violation of the prisoners of war
convention by Germany against Am
erican soldiers, although the record
being compiled by the Allies as a
whole is replete with atrocities and
/ violations of the rules of war against
civilians and other Allied soldiers,
especially on the eastern front.
CAN'T EXPLAIN
There was great doubt here that
anything the Nazis would say could
explain what an official u. S. First
army report revealed to be q de-
liberate mass assassination of help
less prisoners of war.
The state department announced
that it was forwarding to the Ger
man government through neutral
Swiss authorities the strongest pos
sible protest with regard to the
killing by German forces near Mel
medy, Belgium, of all but Is of
group OF about 1870 American soldiers
and officers who had been taken
prisoners by a German tank corps
and stripped of their equipment"
The Geneva convention for the
treatment Of prisoners of war, to
which Germany was a signatory,
provides that prisoners must at all
times be humanely treated and pro-
tected particularly against acts of
violence measures of reprisal
against them are prohibited"
ON DECEMBER 23
The executions now protested by
the United Scates occurred on
December II, shortly after the Ger
man counter offensive started in
Belgium. The Is men who escaped
told the following story:
A group Of Americans was cap
tured by SIS and Panzer men of a
German tank column. After strip
ping the Americans of cigaret valu-
ables and armaments, the Germans
lined them up in field with their
hands behind their heads and shot
them with machine guns on the
| tanks.
The official report said that the
men who were not killed fell to
the ground, but that the Germans
continued to Shoot into the mass of
dead and dying men, Those who es-
capped decided to run for it but sew
eral Of them were badly wounded
Even after the tanks ceased shoot
ing, the report said, Germans went
through the pile OF bodies and fired
rifles at any who appeared to be
alive.

THE NISEI RETURN
(RedlandS FactS)


The return of American citizens Of
japanese ancestry to their homes in Red
lands will probably cause almost no stir
whatever The Nisei were few in number
here before the war. They were unob-
trusive people and involved in no Incl
dents exciting public resentment. Some of
them had lived here 50 long they were
accepted fixtures on the local scene.
The Army order permitting them to re-
turn to the coast is robbed Of any sting
it might otherwise possess by the supreme
court ruling that these citizens must be
permitted to return to their homes when
their loyalty is established. Several of
those who will come back here have sons
in the armed forces who are fighting for
the same democracy, and at the same
risks, as the sons of other citizens. OF this
fact the community is generally aware.
