Kislm Rel&cises 1 1 thTAir Force ,
To Strike Directly at Japan
.' r By, EUGENE BURNS
- ADAK, Aleutian Islands, August 19-(Delayed)-(flP)-"Our re
capture of Kiska without opposition means that we have complet
ed our northern' road to Japan," .Vice Admiral Thomas C. Kiri
kaid, commander of the north Pacific, said today.
Maj. Gen. William O. Butler of Tucson, Ariz commander of
the eleventh air force added the comment .that the "victory has
released the eleventh air force to
strike directly at the Japanese
homeland."
"We have ? already hit .him
three times at Paramushlro," the ,
general eontlnued,"and we will
drive him from island to island -with
the assistance of ground
forces 'and the navy until com- -plete
victory. Is ours."'
He added: "Our completed chain
of air and naval bases also will
protect our surface vessels and
our shipping units two-thirds' of
the way to Tokyo. - ' :; . '
The Kiska battle, Admiral
Kincald - declared, was actually
t fought on Attn. ,
"By the capture of Attu, we ob
tained the means . of preventing
supplies from reaching Kiska . is
land and the ' means of bombing
Kiska by the 11th air force from
bases to the westward, . thereby
insuring the fall of Kiska itself,"
he explained. . -
"That we couldn't kill more
Japs," he added, "was disappoint
ing; to everyone. However, had the
Japs chosen to stay and fight from
their entrenched strongholds, and
foxholes, our casualties would have
been heavy." .
Army estimates of potential cas
ualties in taking Kiska by , force
ran to 7000 wounded and killed.
Those men now. can return sound
and well to their homes, as the re
sult of the bloodless conquest."
. Admiral Kincald pomted eat
that the bloodless victory ef ;
Kiska changed - the , whole .-Pa-;
clfle picture. ;
"The northern
rente - the
vsnoriesc route te jpn, -(
to Japan; . li
now cleared and from Attn we
are only C3 miles - from Para-
mashiro, ' Japan's northernmost f
; naval air and "army base," he ;
v declared. ' , ' i
. The southern route . . still is
thousands of . miles . from Japan.
These miles are'hazardous through
Jap-rcontrolled water and 'smay
cost heavily in .blood and ; ships
and . material." 0-'- . . ,a 'r '"i -i
Admiral Kinkaid i pomted : out
that the 'Japanese infestation" of
the Rat and " Near island -bases
last June served the United States
Well.' d-- "i ..,-V.I..?fj...
- "It made us aware of our dan
ger . and as a result we rushed to
completion a chain of air and sea
bases to defend our. western ap
oroaches," he continued. ."Now,
when the time comes we will be
ready to use them for a gigantic
offensive which will break Japan's
back."
The Kiska campaign, he added,
was not " made without drawing
JaDanese blood."
"A goodly number , of the y esti
mated 8500 Kiska Japs were kill
ed " how many." is 'difficult to
estimate' by' their;- relentless
pounding by the llth? air 4orce
under the command of Maj.' Gen.
William ' O. Butler and " by our
hwivy surface bombardments.
More than 5,500,000 pounds of
bombs were dropped on Kiska
since last August. Two ; of the
navy's bombardments were the
heaviest in Pacific naval warfare.
ffe have sunk many of their
ships and 1 submarines In , this
Aleutian: theatre.."v'v" -'
An unofficial "estimate has plac
ed the number of ships sunk at
over 20 and the number of sub
marines at over eight, and there
were many '"possible sinkings."
a rvtnVaf1 cited one of
these possibilities: ? ' ' 7 H
; "An innj: .
Ited with a possible sinking off t
Dolts bar, Attn.'; Subsequently
I have learned from nnimpeach- .
able sources that that vessel
was sunk and that only II of
some 13 S 9 Japanese soldiers es- j
caped from that vesseL Men do'
not live long in Aleutian waters.
There were many more of such
possible sinkings.' '
He added: ;
"'After the' Japanese began the
evacuation of Kisko, : we believe
that' we ' sank some of their ships
during a heavy fog, and at night.
But this cannot be confirmed."
The circumstances of that ac
tion are' these: " ; '
1 "American warships : made con
tact with some "objects' at night
and in the fog by similar instru
ments to those used in the battle
in which two modern battleships
sunk Japanese ships in the south
seas during the night of November
14. Salvos 'were - fired,; ati these
"objects" and they disappeared.
; Admiral . Kinkaid pointed out
that during another night action
an American destroyer fired a
salvo during a heavy fog and made
a direct hit on a Jap submarine
which might have been evacuat
ing Kiska Japs. This sinking was
confirmed, - because the Japs
beached that , broken sub on a
nearby Aleutian Island. ---n
The Aleutian - compaign - was
costly, in material to the Japan-
This, they' can ill afford to
lose because they cannot replace
it They lost" equipment in the
holds of sunken cargo ships, trans
ports and warships, and they lost
all of their, equipment on Attu and
what they could not take with
them on. Kiska. "---' : k':-.'
They lost men to their Aleutian
compaign. . Some . estimates have,
placed this at 10,000 men on stink
en' ships, the bombings of Kiska
and the Attu fighting. -
- ' Why did the Japanese leave
: Kiska? , i .
. The Admiral '. credited the
i bloodless .victory to our Jap-'
t killing tolls. " --'r
-"It - was ! expensive to fire so
many rounds of ammunition and to
drop ' such a .' large : number . - of
bombs and to keep up our constant
patrols; but' we saved thousands
of 'American "lives,"-he declared.
"It is up to the production lines
to assure us of future victories.
