RITTER, Manager Founded and Maintained on Efficient Service and Courtesy AMBULANCE SERVICE Phone COO Oak and Kane Sts. Licensed Lady Embalmer ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. 21. (AP) Because the Japanese apparently have been unable to carve airfields out of rocky Kiska Island, no bombs have been drop ped on American Aleutian bases since early June, an American air force officer said. Lacking land bases or an air plane carrier, the Japanese are using single float fighter planes in attempting to ward off Un ted States bombers which have blast ed them almost every day. The American officer said ap parently the long flight to U. S. bases has been too difficult for bombers based only in the sea. He said the Japanese in harbor ing their planes only on water were making the first attempt by a modern army to operate full sieed fighter planes minus either land bases or a carrier deck. Army sources believe that United States bombing surprised the Japanese by its strength de spite great weather hazards, and played a part In halting develop ment of land bases. Another unexpected difficulty. say some persons who know the geology of the islands, is the un usually hard rock which might have forced runway builders to fill In depressions instead of level ing off the high spots. The invaders may never under war conditions be able to con struct runways of the high qual ity needed to launch a modern bomber, these experts believe.

Parish, president of Ihe Standard till company I New Jersey I, declared today that "half f the bombs we are dropping on Japs and nazis" were made pes sible by the research growing out of Ids company's pre-war patent relations with I. G. Paihenindus trie, Gorman chemical trust. "All of you know now the enor mous advantages to the public of our contracts with I. G. Kabenin- lustrie of Germany." be told the senate patents committee. "The United States got fat more from Germany than Ger many ever received from us." Parish read a statement before the committee replying to justice department criticisms of his firms patent pooling arrange ments with the German trust. He contended that statements made before Ihe committee by representatives of the Justice de partment wore based on misinter pretation of the contracts, bols tered by selected material from his company's files. "The case which the witnesses attempted to build against Stan dard OU'company Is a Jerry-built house," he said. "Anil the founda tion of sand upon which the whole thing rests is the assunip- now in the aimed forces, some with sons now in our Pacific and Atlantic expeditionary forces have for one single minute for gotten that the lifelong policy of every American is first, last, and always to put almighty America above any consideration of the al mighty dollar. "And that assumption hardly requires my challenge, since it Is not true." ,'1 Senator Bone Nettled Parish had hardly launched In to his statement before Chairman Bone (D.-Wash.) heatedly object ed to what he called an "infer ence" that the hearings Into Stan dard's relations with I. G. Kaben Industrie had been "onesided."' "I do not like it, sir, and It's a reflection on the committee," Hone said, chewing his cigar fiercely. "I intend to defend sen ate committees, if nobody else does." "I'm not attacking your com mittee," Parish replied. "You probably will in the news papers. Bone retorted. At the outset, Parish said "strangely enough, not one disin terested witness with competent technical knowledge had apiioar ed before the committee In the StanH;u-d ease. ' Creekmore Path, the commit- j toe's counsel, interjected that "(he department of justice wit-1 nosses, appeared in the public In- Iciest." i N.

The forest service and county voun nuve cooperated in drag ging the road throughout Its en tire length, Harpham said, and j the roadbed now is In very good cujiumun. No travel restrictions apply be tween Roseburg and Steamboat, the supervisor reports. East bound traffic beyond Steamboat must be registered at the guard station there. The "no smoking while travel Ing" rule does not apply between Roseburg and Copeland creek, but persons are requested to use ex treme caution In handling matches, cigarettes and other smoking material. The rule is in force, however, between the mouth of Copeland creek and Dia mond lake, and smoking while traveling In automobiles or other wise is prohibited in that area. Traffic west bound from Dia mond lake should be registered at the guard station at the road junction five miles north of th lake. All forest camps are open for general public use, Harpham siaies. Marines Shatter Night Attack of Japanese (Continued from page 1.) to hand fighting was possible," the communique said, "but with the breaking of day the marines were able to maneuver. While one battalion held the front line an other battalion moved to a flank and drove the then withdrawing Japanese to the beach. The action continued until late afternoon. Of the 700 Japanese, 670 are dead. the rest prisoners. Marine losses were 28 killed and 72 wounded." Marines in the Solomons, com manded by Major General Alex ander A. Vanegrift, U. S. M. C, thus "added another page to their history of outstanding achieve ment," the communique noted. Maj. Roosevelt In Action The communique also told of a marine patrol and a Japanese de tachment in the Solomons last Wednesday, in which the Ameri cans lost only six killed and 13 wounded while wiping out the enemy unit of 92 officers and men, who continued resistance "until the last man was killed." Major Roosevelt, who In No vember, 1940. left film producing in Hollywood for active service in Ihe marine corps, was second in command of the Devil-Dog de tachment which raided Makln is land Aug. 17. The commander was Lieut-Col. Evaans F. Carl son, wh.iie Commander John W. Haines, U. S. N., directed the en tire operation which was covered by fleet units. . Tokyo Claim Riddled Admiral Nimitz said the ma rines made a successful landing and accomplished their objective ol destroying seaplane installa tions. Following the action, the force withdrew, the admiral said. giving a different version than the Tokyo radio which broadcast that a landing force of about 200 Americans "had been repulsed, Known enemy losses inflicted by the marines are at least 80 Japanese killed, radio installa tions and stores destroyed and one large and one small seaplane de stroyed on the water," the com munique said. Losses were suffered by the enemy in heavy bombing attacks dealt by their own confused air craft which arrived from other bases to assist their beleaguered countrymen. Ships of our expedition gun ned and sank one small transDoi-t and one gunboat," the communi que said. "Considering the nature of this operation our forces suf fered only moderate losses. Neither Roosevelt nor either of the other two officers in charge of the raid was on the casualty list. Admiral Nimitz said. No Respite For Japs The surprise raid indicated that American forces are seeking out Japanese bases and strong points on some of the hundreds of enemy-held islands in the south Pacific area, for a continuous "stepping stone" offensive against the Japanese. Makin island Is the most north erly island of the British-owned Gilbert group, and is one of the bases attacked last January when an American naval task force struck in the Gilbert and Marshall islands. Three hundred miles north of Makln lies the Japanese base at Jaluit on the Marshall islands, Japanese-owned. Jaluit and the further north Japanese bases at Taroa and Wotje in the Marsh- alls, also were hammered in the January raid. Continuing their pounding air tactics in the far southern Pacific front, allied planes under General Douglas MacArthur's command flew from their Australian bases to bomb Maobissc in Portuguese Timor, for the second successive day. One allied plane was lost in the raid which, a communique said, resulted in hits on crossroads and buildings, and the downing of one of three Japanese zero fight-ei-s which rose to intercept the allied formation.
