In California the Los Angeles county defense council Issued an emergency alert, calling for sharp vigilance and readiness for Instant action. Military authorities at Bfilboa cancelled all leaves and passes of soldiers and sailors in the Pana ma canal zone. The alert status there was Intensified. Distance Factor Cited Experts said the Japanese fighters in the first air raid must have come from a carrier, but there was a possibility that the bombers came from a land base. Dutch harbor is about 1,800 miles irom ine northernmost of the Kurlle Islands, which ' stretch northward from Japan proper. Unalaska island, on which Dutch harbor is situated, is near ly 1,000 miles from the western most of the Aleutians, which In turn Is some 700 miles from the nearest of the Japanese Kuriles. Pending any official word tu the contrary, Washington was In clined to regard the raids as eith er token reprisals for the recent American bombing of Tokyo and other Japanese cities or as thrusts I iu test American derenses. But with the southwestern Pa cific battle relatively quiet and the battle of Burma ended, offi cials familiar with the northern Pacific pointed out that the Jap anese have chosen a moment for the Alaska attack which could mean a shift in the direction of the war. Weather Favors Japs If the Japanese Intend an at tempt to establish themselves In the Aleutians, either for a major campaign against the American cuimiiem or as a defense against United Nations attack from the north, they have at least anoth er month of good flying weather. Summer fogs settle down on the north Pacific Islands ln late July and August, and might hamper an allied counter-offensive after the Impetus of such an Initial Japanese drive was spent.

Prepared For Attack Yet during those years the Jap anese themselves have pushed their flshlne fleets inin A,.,,ii, waters despite American protests and were believed to have mark ed off prospective air bases and landing sites In the volcanic, rocky Islands. At the same time Tokyo kept foreign eyes from the Kuriles. which were rhmnrli in shelter substantial naval and air stations.

A. Yes, our Government is now acting to encourage home canning. U. S. housewives are asked to put up summer fruits for three reasons: (a) to conserve fruit that might otherwise be wasted; (b) to improve family nutrition when fresh fruits are scarce; (c) to supplement commercially canned fruits, thus easing transportation.. 2 Canning takes sugar. Will sugar be available for this purpose? A. Yes. Extra sugar for canning will be available to you, in addition to the present basic sugar ration. The Government's new, liberalized allotment of sugar for canning permits you to buy: I pound of sugar for every 4 quarts of canned fruits you agree to put up plus l more pound for each member of your family, to make jams, jeTlies, preserves and fruit butters 3 Is the sugar allotment enough for canning? A. Home economists say that l pound of sugar per 4 quarts of fruit is reasonable for home canning. Fruit canned this way will have fine keeping quality and a good degree of sweetness. Perhaps you have used more sugar in your fruit canning in past years , but this is wartime. 4 Why does the Government distinguish between (a) fruit canning and (b) makina jams, jellies, preserves? A. Canning represents the more economical and efficient use of sugar it requires less sugar per unit of fruit than does preserving. Therefore the sugar allotment for canning wig made larger than for jams, jellies, etc. - - 5. In view of war conditions, how is it pos- - sible to allot sugar for canning? . -; A. It's true that sugar is precious. We have lost our Philippine1 supply and we riow re . ceive less sugar from other Pacific areas. - Sugar must be shared with our allies. Sugar is being used to make ammunition for our fighting men. But there's a bright side to' our sugar pic ture.: Here in western America we have a home-grown source of sugar no enemy can touch. This home-grown sugar beet sugar is one of the big reasons why our Gov ernment can allot sugar for home canning. 6. What sugar shall I get for home fruit canning? A. Any brand of pure granulated sugar at your grocer's will give good results in can ning. The U.S. Department of Agriculture' states, in a discussion of fruit canning, "Cane sugar and beet sugar are equally good." (Farmers' Bulletin No. 1762, page 23.) Spreckels Honey Dew Sugar, for instance, is excellent for canning. 7. How do I start my home fruit canning? A. Decide what fruits you want to put up, and how many jars of each. When the fruits come to market, go to your local ration board and make application for the special allotment of canning sugar. Your grocer is cooperating with the Government to pro mote home canning this summer. His store is your headquarters for all canning supplies including the good beet sugar of the West.
