C. •INSIDE’ ON ALEUTIANS The inside story can now be told of why the Japs were able to land in the Aleutian islands and bomb the U. S. naval base at Dutch Harbor with so little opposition. As with most things in this war, the problem goes back to lack of foresight, and also, to some extent, lack of army- navy co-operation. Not generally known is the fact that the navy in September, 1941, some two months before Pearl Har bor, refused to let the army build an air base on Umnak island to guard the navy’s Dutch Harbor base. What happened was that Senator Brewster of Maine, a member of the Truman committee and of the naval affairs committee, flew to Alaska last September with Brig. Gen. Arthur Wilson to ascertain whether Alaska needed further for tifications. At Kodiak they met Brig. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, commander of the army's forces, Heap High the Cookie Jar! whose father, a famous Civil war commander, once helped to pay (See Recipes Below.) Ulysses S.

The raised skirt line achieves a smooth Small 'Bin' Men It is a strange but true fact that we are living in an age of big men who are under medium height. Hitler is below average height, and so is Stalin. Churchill is by no means tall, although he is taller than little Franco. Mussolini is well below average, and he has al ways been rather ashamed of it. Until the Munich crisis very few people in this country had seen a photograph of Mussolini standing near any medium-built men. He was always photographed against the skyline, with the camera at a low angle, to give him height and that imposing jaw line. The great Napoleon was only an Inch over five feet, and his two most implacable enemies, Horatio Nelson and the duke of Wellington, were very little taller than he was.
