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.

Oil Head Defends
German Link At
Senate Inquiry
WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-(API-W.
S. 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. '

toe's counsel, interjected that

Traffic west bound from Dia

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.
