Japan's Aleutian Maneuvers May Have Recoil for Nippon By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst Japan's audacious approach to the North American continent by way of the Aleutian islands apparently is being put in its proper perspective in the pattern of the Pacific war.

Japan's move, started last June, never approached the proportions of a real invasion menace. It was part of the Japanese program EXTEND DRAFTEE FURLOUGH TIME Believe Fathers Need More Time to Leave WASHINGTON. (JP) The nation's fathers were caught in a tug-of-war between the executive and legislative branches of the government Friday, with the former apparently seeking to pull them into military service soon and the latter starting a move to hold them out at least until next year.

Further than that, Chairman George Ga.) of the senate finance committee said he would do his utmost to give the executive branch the full three year extension it asked, rather than the two years voted Thursday by the house. George said he would call the bill before the committee at the earliest possible moment after the senate disposes of the pay-as-you-go income tax collection bill, now entering its third day of debate. Discussing reports that a group of republican senators would insist that congress be given veto power over the agreements.

Senator Connally a member of the finance committee, said he thought the failure of a similar move in the house would "scare 'em off." The house voted down the veto proviso 170 to 149 and passed the bill by a vote of 342 to 65, although a republican democratic coalition trimmed the extension time from three to two years, by a count of 196 to 453. An Associated Press poll last month showed that 40 of 59 senators who were willing to commit themselves at that time were prepared to vote for an extension of the trade program without change. The 19. others reached were either flatly opposed to extension or demanded substantial amendments. In addition to the veto power, some republican senators were known to be discussing the advisability of an amendment which would cause individual treaties to lapse one year after the expiration of the act itself.

TCis-i-p Some 10,000 Japanese troops aw rpnnrtpd nn Kiska. rjosinr? a hnmbins? threat to Alaska and even to the American west coast The Attu garrison is believed to be considerably smaller. Should Attu fall, the Ameri- cans would be astride the Japa nese communication line to Kiska, making: the Japanese po sition there untenable. Moreover. the Americans would be onlv 760 airmile miles from the Japanese naval and air base of Paramushire at the northern end of Japan's Kurile islands just south of the Kamchatka peninsula.

Both Attu and Kiska have been targets of incessant U. S. aerial assault. Bombs were cascaded down on both whenever the Aleu tian weather lifted sufficiently for U. S.

aircraft to leave their bases. Attu was bombarded April 30 bv a naval task force, and this together with the punishing air blows seemed certain to have softened the Japanese garrison considerably. An American landing on Attu such as reported by the Japanese presumably would be under the overall command of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. commander in chief of the United States Pacific fleet.

Rear Admiral Thomas Cas- sin Kinkaid of Philadelphia is be- lieved to be in direct command of naval forces in Alaskan-Aleutian waters. Lt. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner is commanding general of the Alaskan defense command, Troops who seized Amchitka re- cently were commanded by Brig. Gen.

Lloyd E. "Jones of Columbia, Mo. Landings in the Aleutians are much more difficult than in the jungle-clad equatorial islands. Beaches in the Aleutians generally are scarce although deep anchorages are numerous. Frequently the shore rises almost directly as a rocky cliff from the icy waters.

9p js The Japanese nave been re- ported constructing a large air base on Attu, presumably for the purpose of launching attacks on the American mainland. Tokyo claimed last June 25 in a communique that their forces had occupied Kiska June 7 and Attu a day later, and that they then were "consolidating their position in neighboring islands." Japanese imperial headquarters also announced that Attu would be renamed Atsuta island; after the Atsuta shrine at Nagoya, Ja pan, and the Kiska would be named Narukami. The occupation of Amchitka is- land Jan. 12 was announced May by the united States. Amchitka, only 70 miles from Kiska, helped Hank the Japanese positions.

Since the Japanese landing, Attu has been Kiska's supply and rein- forcement base. It is 196 miles west of Kiska and the Japanese have developed it as their "first and last chance to gas" for their 1.974 mile Tokyo-Paramusruro- rusKa airway. SOAP PRICES STANDARDIZED Ceilings Set by OPA on rowders, L-leansers WASHINGTON, (JP) The prices Dr. T. E.

Miss Edna Pyle, general secretary of the local Y. W. C. will interview him. The subject will be, -A New Concept of Health." REDS REPORT BIG DRIVE IMMINENT Warn That Nazis Can Attack in Great Force MOSCOW, (U.R) The official red army newspaper.

Red Star, said Friday that a big scale offensive was imminent on the Russian front and warned that Germany still was capable of attacking in great force. The announcement followed the soviet mid-day communique which said the red air force, continuing its against German supply and communications lines, destroyed 40 railway cars and sank four enemy ships in the Barents sea. An editorial in Red Star said a large scale German tank attack was expected. "The hour is drawing near for large scale fighting in which great masses of troops will participate," the editorial said. "The character of the forthcoming battles is clear.

We can judge from previous experience and from what is going on at the front and rear." The newspaper suggested that the German high command would pin its hopes on its armored and aerial forces. "The winter campaign weakened the Germans but we must not underestimate their strength," the article continued. "We must realize that the Germans can still attack with large armored spearheads. We must be prepared for mass attacks by tanks and mechanized units supported by other formations." "We not only possess every means to holJ the enemy but to defeat him." Tears Up Floors in Search of False Teeth, Tugged Away by Rat LAKEVILLE, (vP) John Jordan is leaving no stone unturned and the same applies to floors in his search for his false teeth. Jordan swears he saw a rat pick up the teeth and disappear behind the woodwork.

Two floors of the three-story Jordan house have been ripped up but there's no sign of the rat or the teeth. Undismayed, Jordan plans to carry his search under the one remaining floor. The town of Falmouth, now Portland, was destroyed by the French and Indians, May 20, 1690. si island have intercepted them and are now engaging them in fierce battle." The Japanese had renamed Attu Atsuta after the At suta shrine at Nagoya, Japan.) The size of the enemy's garrison on Attu is not known but it is be lieved to be smaller than the ap proximately 10,000 troops re ported on Kiska island, east of Attu. There was no indication that any attack had been made on Kiska and this led to speculation that the United States maneuver was designed to outflank the more strongly held enemy base and if possible place its garrison in an almost untenable position before attacking there.

3 3fa 3fc Attu has been used as a supply point for Kiska and presumably American possession of Attu would greatly reduce Kiska's usefulness to the enemy as a potential airbase and a submarine operating base. Possession of Attu would give the American Aleutians command a weather observation station west of Kiska a fact of supreme importance in the Aleutians where weather is most constant single problem which airmen and seamen face. Heretofore the advantage has been all with the Japanese because the weather moves from west to east and they knew what conditions would be when United States forces could not know. Possession of Attu, provided it reduces the Japanese garrison on Kiska to impotence and puts American forces in position to knock out Kiska speedily, would afford an American base within 6-30 nautical miles of Japan's great base of Paramushiru which is at the northern end of the Ku-riles island extending between Japan proper and Russia's Kamchatka peninsula. If the Japanese have succeeded in carving an airbase out of Attu mountainous landscape, American forces undoubtedly would devote full energies toward completing it as speedily as possible in order to bring Paramushiru in aerial bombardment.

Japs Say Landing by "Crack" Troops NEW YORK, (VP) Japanese imperial headquarters said in a broadcast communique Thursday that "crack American forces" started landing Wednesday on Attu island in the bleak, fog-shrouded Aleutians and that a fierce battle was in progress. Attu is the westernmost of the rocky Aleutians pointed like an arrow at the heart of the Japanese empire from Alaska. Near the international dateline, the island is 2,005 statute miles from Tokyo by the great circle route. The Japanese capital is within theoretical range of U. S.

bombers which could be based on a strip the Japanese were reported to have built. It lies 196 miles west of Kiska, the other Aleutian island to which the Japanese have held tortured RENT OUR ELECTRIC FLOOR SANDERS BY THE HOUR OR DAY lirrie Van Ness 20-22 E.

Sec ondarily, they would be the jumping -off Places lor lur ther advances or for invasion KEEMLE if the occasion arose. The seizure of Kiska and Attu was admirable for the first pur- pose. It put the Japanese athwart our nearest approach to their is- lands and formed a "nuisance" barrier to any expansion in that direction, At the same time, it forced the United States to devote ex- pensive aerial and naval effort to prevent the Japanese threat from developing. 3 Now the United States forces seem ready to throw the Japanese out of their holdings, which they nave so lahonously been trying to develop into air bases under the incessant bombing of American planes. Efforts of the Japanese navy to speed the process have been effectively repulsed, notably ine engagement west of Attu late in March.

Occupation by the Americans of Amchitka island near Kiska and the constant aerial attacks were part of a program which now appears to have culminated in an American landing in force on Attu. according to the Japa nese announcement. The clearing of the islands will bring American bombers within effective striking dis tance of Japanese naval and aerial bases in the Kurile is lands, Japan's outer line of defense in the north Pacific. If an American attack on Japan is decided on by that route. Japan's Aleutian maneuver may recoil to her own disadvantage.

It resulted, for one thing, in the strengthening of our position in Alaska and construction of the Alcan highway, which will pro vide a vital route of supply for our outer positions, AXIS PLANE TOLL 2,000 IN AFRICA Allies Lost 770 Months of Campaign WASHINGTON, The al lied air forces of North Africa de stroyed approximately 2.000 ene- my planes while losing about 770 in the six months and three days between the landings in French North Africa and the collapse of axis resistance May 11. The war department reported this Friday in a review of the spectacular part played by the allied team under Air Chief Mar- shal Sir Arthur W. Tedder, It said that In the first 11 aays or iiay aione tne score was 300 axis planes destroyed against 49 allied aircraft lost, a ration of 6 to 1, and added that from May 7 the day Tunis and Bizerte fell "the enemy air arm literally danced to the allies' tune, losing approximately 11 planes for ev ery allied plane brought down." This score, however, was "only a iragment or tne air contribu tion to the North African cam- paign. the department continued. rancan stratccv "It is an example of the net result of co-ordination of all types of military airplanes, of air power enabling the reduction of the size of a force required to do a job and shortening the time required to do it.

Sfc 9fr 9fc "With impending new allied offensives hinting that a call for thousands of more fighting men might soon be in order, the army extended the furlough period given new inductees from seven to 14 days and directed that it be increased to three weeks by Sept. 1. The two weeks extension is to be put into effect as soon as possible, and in no case later than July 1. 2fi Sfc Although no reason was given for the move, other than that one week caused hardships "in some cases," it was understood that the war department felt fathers would need more time than single or childless married men to settle their personal and business affairs when inducted.

Thus, the announcement was interpreted as heralding the drafting of fathers on a large scale in the near future. At the same time, however, Chairman Reynolds of the senate military committee paved the way Friday for a new congressional fight to exempt fathers for the rest of 1943 by calling for hearings to start Monday on the house-approved Kilday bill. While the bill would only delay the induction of fathers. Senator Wheeler a member of the committee, said he would seek to substitute a flat exemption proposal for the house measure. Reynolds' action was prompted by a communication from the war department Thursday requesting that high ranking officials be permitted to testify on the measure.

Committee attaches declined re-least of the letter in advance of the hearing, but it was reported to have expressed disfavor of the Kilday bill and a previous published communication from Secretary of War Stimson expressed unequivocal opposition to Wheeler's proposal. Both selective service and war department officials will testify at Monday's hearings. Director Lewis B. Hershey recently told a house committee that the selective service would have to be drafting fathers by Aug. 1 "or sooner." to meet the need for 500,000 more men in the armed forces this year.

LANDON MEETS IOWA GOP CHIEFS Warns Against Party War on Foreign Policy DES MOINES, (JP) Alfred M. Landon Friday counseled the re publicans against getting into an intra-party "cat and dog fight at this stage of the game over future foreign policy." In a press conference here fol lowing a breakfast with Iowa re publican leaders, the 1936 GOP presidential nominee pointed out that candidates and platforms for the 1944 presidential election will not be determined for more than a year. "A lot of water will flow under the bridge before that time." he commented. "We cannot foresee what the situation will be then and we are not roing to have the sole say about the character of post-war organization. Our allies are going to have quite a bit to say.

We are not going to determine the policy for the entire world. 3f 3fr "We can, however, indicate our willingness to take a hand in for eign affairs to the extent our humanitarian instinct requires, our strength warrants and our interests demand." Landon expressed his approval of National Republican Chairman Harrison E. Spangler's support of renewal of the reciprocal trade agreements program "although ordinarily it might not be a wise thing for him to comment on legislation pending in congress." "Under the present circumstances, however, he added, "Spangler's stand is an answer to the ridiculous charge lhat the party is hidebound and isolationist." Landon also suggested that the republicans "might well give consideration to holding a late convention next year because conditions are changing so rapidly." The party's national conventions usually arc held in June. He declared that the Ball-Burton resolution and other similar measures calling for adoption of a policy of international co-operation by the United States "are be ing blocked in the senate foreign relations committee, not by a cobal of democratic and republican senators but by the adminis tration itself. He would not elab orate on the latter point.

He also praised Gov. B. B. Hick-cnloopcr whom he said "lias done a good job in Iowa." Landon left by plane Uv his home in Topcka, alter the breakfast.
