' ern Pacific skies may soon be- I come a hornet's nest of allied planes was seen yesterday In an j assertion by Secretary of the i Navy Knox that the number of i navy land based planes was ! "steadily increasing." j Kiska Also Pounded. In the north Pacific, the navy announced that on October 18 the j army's heavy four-motored Liber i ator bombers smashed again at the Island of Kiska, the last of three Aleutian bases once held ; by the Japanese. I welve tons or bombs were ; dropped on enemy shore installa i lions and on a beached ship in j the harbor. The explosives set fires in the camp area. The com : munique made no mention of i any further aerial resistance. i last encountered early . this : month. i Meantime, MacArthur's Aus tralian troops further reduced the Japanese threat to the allied Port Moresby base in New ; Guinea by pushing the enemy back three miles in the Owen Stanley mountains. ; The expected Japanese assault to recapture Guadalcanal air- field from which the American I aerial attacks evidently are be- ; ing launched, appeared still to be : forming although the navy de clared the enemy had not land ed additional reinforcements on the island since October 15. i Presence of U. S. warships in the Solomons was disclosed by , the navy two days ago and for ; the last several days, American bombers and fighter planes have maintained steady attacks on Ja panese shipping, supply dumps and troops. JAPS CLING TO KISKA DESPITE DAILY ATTACKS ALASKA DEFENSE COM MAND HEADQUARTERS, Oct. 21. (AP) The latest group of Liberator bombers which are daily attacking Japanese attempt ing to reinforce their gajrison at Kiska reported enemy positoins unchanged on the island, the irmy announced today. The group, one of several con ducting the army's rald-a-day tests against the invaders, was led by Capt. Lynn R. Moore. The flight noted hits in the camp area and one especially heavy explos ion which may have been a gaso line dump. The Moore flight, like all since Oct. 3, met no aerial opposition while dropping its 12 tons of bombs on the Japanese. I he latest attack was concen trated on Trout lagoon and the main Kiska camp. A number of cargo ships already are beached in the lagoon. The Japanese positions at Ger trude cove, where the reinforce ment attempts are being concen trated, arc also unchanged, the fliers reported. The raiders met continuing an ti aircraft fire, but most of the Japanese scurried for cover and froze to the ground when they saw the American planes. Strafing by raiders early this month taught them to find pro tection when the U. S. army fliers visit, the pilots believe. The Japanese are even using bomb craters for shelters, some times putting up tents in such 1m provised protection. Fighter escorts of American aerial raiding parties have recent ly been reduced, and the fighters which do go along now find Utile to do. Occasionally they find ships trying to make a get-away, or radio shacks, upon which to turn their machine guns, but lack of fighter opposition reduces their duties. By DEVVITT MAC KENZIE LONDON, Oct. 21. What would you give if you could be as sured lhat this time next year Heir Hitler would be swinging sweetly from the end of a hang man s roue? Plenty, of course. And I be lieve we can have this assurance if the Anglo American allies aren't compiled by circum stances to deviate far from the fundamental strategy which they laid down long ago. This Is that the nazi anti christ is the main enemy and that we must concen trate on crushing him. We have now reached the cru cial moment when American and British moves of the immediate future may determine whether the European section of the world conflict will be greatly pro tracted or whether we shall be able to dictate peace, say, in 12 months. That mark can be made under favorable conditions for the fuehrer is trying to maintain his footing on a mighty greasy spot. ' The trend of the Hitlerlan war, to my mind, depends heavily on the striking power of the United States and British air forces over western Europe and Germany. Now, I'm not one of those who claim the war can be won in the air alone. I don't believe It can and don't know many who do believe so. However, it does seem clear that Hitler now is In a position where he can be rendered fairly Impotent by bombing In a com paratively short time and thus be made vulnerable to land attack. That is, we can reach this happy day provided both the British and American commands In Britain have a reasonable Increase In air strength. That is the consensus of many military experts. Why Big Raids Are Few Hero you probably will point to the Royal Air Force's 1,000-bomb-er raid on Cologne and other great assaults, both by the British and by our own very destructive air force, and ask why these can not be continued. Well the answer to that is the thing in a nutshell. You cannot keep up 1000-bomb- er assaults without stiff reinforce ments and replacements. And un less the heavy raids arc continued It will take a long time to iron out the Boehe. Unfortunately, so far as con cerns the air, Uncle Sam and John Bull haven't been able, in practice, to adhere strictly to their policy of concentrating power against . Hitler. A great number of bombers, which under normal circumstances would have been available here to strengthen the American and British forces, has had to be sent to other places. The United States has had to provide warplanes for Alaska, the far Pacific, China, India, the Mid dle East and wherenot. Not Prepared For Knockout Britain also has been diverting bombers and fighters to northern Africa and other areas which have been under pressure. As a result, allied bomber commands In Britain have not obtained the increase in strength which they would normally expect or which they need now to smother the nazi all highest. The necessity of diverting this air strength must provide, it seems to me, one of the reasons why the Anglo-American allies have not felt able to open a second land front In west ern Europe thus far. Indeed, es tablishment of such a front must depend on Intensive air prepara tion. You can't land a great army from the sea otherwise without terrific losses. The Russians are calling for quick help. The sooner we get busy plowing up the fuehrer's front yard and sowing our dra gon's teeth there the sooner will I our armed warriors spring from the soil to attack him and so re lieve pressure on the allies on the eastern front. Thus we are up against the cold fact that the only way we The Douglas county grand Jury was called by Circuit Judge Carl E. Wlmberly today to meet Tuesday, October 27.
