When the Japs Invaded the
Aleutian islands, Olmscheid's ship
was at Astoria, and it was dis
patched immediately to the Alas
kan scene. Kor three months the
crew has occupied a remote out
post from which the plane has
operated in bombing and straf
ing Japanese bases and installa
tions. Forbidden to report the
actual nature of the Aleutian op
erations, Olmscheid merely stat
ed that the crew with which lie
served saw plenty of action and
had many narrow escapes ami
caused a great deal of damage to
the enemy.'
Fog Major Handicap
The great handicap, ho slated,
Is the fog which makes flying ex
tremely dangerous and uncertain.
Conditions, however, are expected
to change soon and hard winds
are anticipated which for a lime
ordinarily dispel some of the fog.
So dense is the log, uimscnciu
reported, that for four days
after receiving permission to re
turn to the mainland for a im
Ioul'Ii. the naval plane and its
crew remained at the base, not
lesiring to make a takeoff when
there were no combat duties to
make such risk necessary. H"w
ever, on tile linn nay ine cn-w
decided to wait no longer and
limit off for home regardless 01
the danger, making a safe flight
to a California base from which
the members were permitted to
leave for their respective homes.
Olmscheid does not expect to
return to his duties as radioman.
Instead, lie hopes to become a
lull fledged pilot and already lias
passed the first stage In his ap
plication for cadet flight training,
lie was recommended by Ids com
manding officer for pilot training,
and sucessfully negotiated the
preliminary physical and aptitude
tests, lie will return soon for fur
ther examinations.
Steel Makers Gloomy
Over Salvage Outlook
NEW YORK, Sept. 25. (AP)
While (he nation's newspapers
today sparked enthusiasm for
the next three weeks' intensive
scrap metal salvage campaign,
steel men gave this gloomy warn
ing: Unless millions of tons of junk
ed iron and steel are soon found,
some of their furnaces, which
otherwise could be producing all
out for war, may have to lie
idle.
If any householder, reading
that tin' mills this year will need
more than 115 million tons of
scrap, gets the Idea his little 20
or 2I pounds of scrap is a poor
contribution, lie is wrong.
Those "poor" contributions,
multiplied on a nationwide basis,
become millions of tons.

Japanese Just didn't want to be
left out of an Important battle
area.
Other observers pointed out
1 that if Japan actually had sent
Important naval forces into the
Atlantic, she would be unlikely to
destroy their surprise value by
advertising the fact.
The Tokyo communique said;
"Part of the Japanese naval
forces has advanced to the At
lantic and is now engaged in stra
tegic operations in close coopera
tion with the axis navies.
"One Japanese submarine op
erating in the Atlantic recently
called at a certain German naval
base and again set sail for stra
tegic waters.
"Operations of the Japanese
navy in the Atlantic with the
German navy, which are parallel
to a German naval operation in
the Indian ocean, are highly sig
nificant as they represent joint
Japanese-axis naval operations
against the anti-axis powers."
British Rule Madagascar
Meanwhile, British troops were
overrunning French Madagascar
to eliminate that 1,000-milo is
land, lying off the coast of south
east Africa, as a base for axis un
derseas raiders preying on the
vital allied supply lanes to India,
China, Russia and the middle
east.
In London, the foreign office
announced that following the
capture of Tananarive, the capi
tal, British forces had placed
Madagascar under military rule
"to insure law and order . . .
(lending establishment of a
friendly regime."
The Vichy French flag will con
tinue to fly over the island, it was
announced, and the sovereignty
of France remains unaffected.
Jap Bases Again Bombed
In the southwest Pacific. Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's headquar
ters announced that allied war
planes pressed home devastating
new attacks on Japanese com
munication lines in the New
Guinea battle zone and pounded
enemy bases in New Britain, Ti
mor and the Solomon islands.
American flying fortresses
were officially credited with scori
ing a direct hit on an 8,000-ton
Japanese cargo ship at Rabaul,
New Britain, leaving it in flames.
Other allied fliers set Japanese
huts afire and strafed the air
drome at Kokoda, New Guinea,
advance base for Japanese troops
driving across the Owen Stanley
mountains toward Port Moresby.
Gen. MacArthur's communique
said there was no change in the
general stiuation in the moun
tains, where the Japanese have
been stalled for 10 days within 32
airline miles of Port Moresby.
2 More Trade Ships Sunk
The announced sinkings of two
more ships, an American mer
chantman and a Panamanian
cargo carrier with the loss of five
seamen, raised to -175 today the
Associated Press tally of an
nounced sinkings in the western
Atlantic since America's entry in
to the war.
A total of 98 crewmen of the
two ships was rescued and landed
safely at United Nations' ports.
One seaman was killed in the U
boat attack on the Panamanian
vessel in the north Atlantic last
July while four men were lost
when the United States ship was
torpedoed in mid-Atlantic last
month. I

Exchange announced that de-1

City Terrible Sight.
As the battle flamed into its
second month, amid indications
that the German siege armies
were beginning to waver, a Rus
sian war correspondent pictured
Stalingrad as a scene of chaotic
wreckage In trembling earth, lit
by explosions and heavy with
the odors of cordite and death.
"On the river beach are tho
corpses of women and children
killed by German bombs," he
wrote. "The Stalingrad water
front is a great patch of ruins.
"By night, fresh soviet troops
cross the river on barges and
boats. The wounded are removed
the same way."
Volga gunboats cruising up and
down the river continued to blast
the Germans, and in yesterday's
operations alone they were credit
ed with destroying eight naJ
siege guns and a large number
of troops.
Russian street fighters, attack
ing from sand-bagged barricades
and fortified houses within the
city, were reported to have killed
more than 200 Germans and (V-
stroyed fivee tanks, .seven anti
tank guns and four mortars in a
single phase of the gigantic bat
tle.
Caucasus Drive Intensified.
In the central Caucasus, Rus
sian headquarters acknowledged
that the red armies "withdrew
from, a populated place" after
wiping out a company of German
cavalry, and from this it appear
ed that the nazis were stepping
up the fury of their drive against
the Grozny oil fields, some 50
miles away.
Bitter fighting also raged on
the Black sea coast, southeast of
Novorossisk, where the Russian
command said "our troops fought
fierce engagements and wip
ed out about two companies of
enemy infantry."
Far to the north, Russian
troops were reported to have
killed 200 Germans and destroy
ed 26 enehiy blockhouses and dug
outs in two days of fighting
around long-besieged Leningrad.

Air activity over the Egyptian

reported the destruction of a
German aircraft over Malta.
BRITISH LIST LIGHT LOSS
IN RUSSIAN-BOUND CONVOY
LONDON, Sept. 25. (AP)
The British lost the destroyer
Somali and the minesweeper
Leda in a convoy homeward
bound from Russia after getting
the great majority" of the laden
merchantmen through to soviet
northern ports, the admiralty dis
closed today in a complete ac
count of the sea struggle in the
Arctic ocean.
'.Against the allied losses, the
admiralty announced that 40 Ger
man planes were blasted from
the sky, two U-boats were de
stroyed and four others damaged
seriously during the inward and
outward passages of the convoy
by anti-aircraft fire and carrier
borne naval planes.
On the outward journey, the
admiralty previously had disclos-
d that most of tho merchant
ships carrying war suplies for
Russia had readied their destina
tions and that none of the con
voying warships had been lost
despite na.i air and -U-boat at-
acks in the autumn dusk of the
Arctic.
Kaiser Firm Can
House Portland
Influx, Aide Says
PORTLAND, Sept. 25 (AP)
When shipbuilding recruits from
the east arrive here, housing
facilities will be available for
them, Albert Bauer, assistant
manager of the Oregon Shipbuild
ing corporation, declared today.
He said the Kaiser company
planned to take care of the work
ers "and there is no reason to be
lieve that we will fall down on the
job now." He made the statement
in answer to one by City Com
missioner William A. Bowes that
workers from the east "will be
sleeping in the middle of the
streets" if 20,000 arrive as an
nounced by the first of the year.
Kaiser's New York representa
tives have announced recruiting
of around 2000 workers already.
Sixteen thousand family and
dormitory units will be ready by
Jan. 1 providing plumbing fix
tures, utility connections, and
other furnishings are obtained,
Bowes said, but at present "to
my knowledge there is no pro
gram to provide for 20,000 more
workmen here."
Cecil Gartrell, chairman of the
Portland housing authority, said
he understood Ralph Collett, di
rector of housing and transporta
tion for the Kaiser yards here, is
in Washington, D. C, presumably
to arrange for more housing.
Gartrell, insisted, however, it
would be impossible to provide
additional dormitories or houses
before 60 days, even if approved
immediately in Washington.
Railway Crash Dead
Believed to Total 20
DICKERSON, Md., Sept. 25.
(AP) Railroad officials and
state police today sought to Iden
tify 12 bodies removed from the
charred and twisted wreckage of
three trains whose collision was
believed to have cost the lives of
at least 20 persons.
Wreck crews worked through
out the night to pull apart the
last pieces of the Pullman car in
which most of the victims died
when fire followed the crash of
two passenger trains and a fast
freight. Railroad officials said
they still had not accounted for
eight persons.

Compromise May End
Farm Parity Battle y
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.
(AP) Democratic Leader Bark
ley said today that an effort to
compromise the fight over farm
parity prices in the administra
tion's anti-inflation bill rapidly
was gaining support in the sen
ate. At the start of the fifth day ot
debate, Barkley said that "many
senators" who previously had
been backing an amendment by
Senators Thomas (D.-Oklu.) and
Hatch D.- N. M.) to revise tho
basis of partly upward had In
formed him they would vote for
a substiuto proposal directing
President Roosevelt to 'lift farm
price ceilings where they did not
reflect to producers the increased
costs of labor and other items.
The latter amendment would
avoid any change in the method
of computing parity. President
Roosevelt has said that he was
"unalterably opposed" to chang
ing this standard.
