Y. Weather Hampers Mopupof Attu Japs Continued from Page 1 Frank Knox told a press conference that the battle of Attu was "still continuing where we have the enemy corralled in the peninsula' 'at Chlchagof harbor. He described as "just another fishing expedition" Axis radio claims that Japanese bombers had sunk two U. S. warships near Attu.

Later a navy spokesman specifically denied these enemy claims. Knox said the navy was not certain where the Japanese bombers which attacked Attu were based, but that the "supposition" was that they came from the Kurlle Islands. Paramushlru, Japanese base at the northern tip of the Kurtles, is 725 statute miles from Attu. American fliers attacked three Japanese cargo vessels In the Short-land Island area of the Solomons and blasted Japanese positions in the Shortland sland area and at Munda, the communique said.

Interment Calwry Cemetery. Jap Guns Taught Foss a Lesson Continued from Page 1 pie but I've never encountered a gang with such spirit. They were a team out to win, and they Just couldn't be beaten. Duke Davis had a tremendous lot to do with that. An Annapolis man, he Is a small, witty and good-natured fellow who worried only about his boys and whether they were getting a good deal.

I was lucky to be his executive officer. There was never any friction in the squadron. We told the boys what to do and they did it with a snap. Five of my flight came home to the United States with me. Freeman was one.

But I would like you to know, before we go any further with this story, the entire remaining 13 in the flight. Loesch Grandson in Gang Lt. William Marontate, 23, of Seattle, was a general favorite. He was nicknamed Guts from a trick he had of protruding his belly amazingly. He would say or do anything, regardless of who was around.

Capt. Gregory Loesch, 24, from Montrose, is a grandson of Frank J. Loesch, the veteran Chicago attorney. We called him Little Nemo. Reared on a ranch, he was a good-natured, smart, blond youngster who walked with short, snappy steps and quick sidewise glances.

Lt. Roger (Uncle) Haberman is serious-minded (in a unique way) fellow of 28 who hails from Ellsworth, and, is proud of it. Lt. Frank (Skeezix) Presley, 22, quiet, reserved and bashful, is from Enclnltas, Cal. Two of the boys were Inseparable and always flew together.

They were Lt. Cecil (Danny) Doyle of Marshall, and Lt. Roller C. (Casey) Brandon from Deer River, Minn. A little fellow, Danny was always full of life, wisecracks, and razzberries for the other fellow.

Casey was a baseball oer forever reading about the game. Speaking of baseball, there was Lt. Art Nehf of Phoenix, son of the famous New York Giants pitcher. A 'Legal Eagle' We called Lt. Oscar Mortimer Bate, 26, of Essex Fells, N.

the Legal Eagle. After graduation from Yale he had studied law at Harvard two years. He was constantly looking for technicalities and arguments. Lt. Thomas iBoot) Furlow, 23, Ogden, had his nickname hung on him by Danny Doyle.

Joe Palko, from Hazelton, was a master technical sergeant with a pilot's rating. Proud of his "hunky" ancestry as he called it he promised to take me back and introduce me to the entire Fordham football squad after the war. There were three others Lt. L. D.

(Gruesome) Grow, a quiet, efficient fellow who always performed his missions and said little; Lt. Edward P. (Andy) Andrews, Lib- erty, a small, happy-go-lucky I Swears Solomon Hinted at Deal Continued from Paje 1 made clear what "contract" he meant. Mayor Called 'Screwball' Mayor LaGuardla was called a "screwball" and Councilman Quinn an "Irish tyrant" by a voice from a dictaphone record played in court at the trial session yesterday afternoon. The recorded three-cornered conversation took place in a room of the St.

George Hotel. Sentences of the conversation were punctuated with the roar of airplanes, automobile horns, the tinkle of ice in high glasses and the ringing of the telephone bell, which sounded like a fire alarm. There were references to "Walter" and "Hart" and Weinman told the Jury if you add the two together they spell a member of the City-Council. The State al.so contends that Solomon told Holt that Hart was his old-time friend, political ally and neighbor in the same apartment house at 9 Prospect Park West. Courtroom observers said Solomon, as he listened to the readings, alternately blushed and blanched.

The thing started so suddenly we almost broke our necks getting into foxholes and what foxholes! There had been no tough shelling lately, and because of hot weather nobody had been Inclined to do much digging. Duke Davis and I shared a hole six feet long and about 18 inches deep. Lying side by side, squeezed together, we were pretty much exposed. The ground was shaking and pitching from the violent concussions. We were shaking, too I'll confess that.

What with thrashing around we Just about beat each other to death that night. Jap planes overhead were dropping occasional bombs and flares. Fires set by the shelling lighted out area like day. A hundred yards away captured Jap gasoline in drums blazed with periodic explosions that shook our back teeth. Life in a Foxhole Shrapnel, slashing overhead after each shell burst, knocked down tents a few feet away, and the hot, Jagged hunks cut off hundreds of palm trees.

Little Nemo Loesch ran out of his tent a bit late and could find no foxhole. "Hey, fellows," he yelled, "have you got any room over there?" Thinking he had asked for "rum," Haberman sang out, "No, but there's some In the tent!" When there was a lull in the shelling I crawled out of the hole. Suddenly I heard more shells coming. I returned to the foxhole in a flying dive, that Just about killed Duke. As we lay there, crowded and covered with dust, I absently started beating a tune on Duke's helmet.

Finally he could stand it no longer. He yelled, "For God's sake quit that. It makes me nervous!"
