Allied Air Mastery
Stalls Japanese Drive
(Continued from page 1.)
' 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
