At Sea With the Pacific Fleet, (Delayed) Kiska harbor may earn place In history as the dreariest tomb ever to receive the corpse of an invader's hope to conquer the world. It may be that Honshu's hope ful little men have chosen the foggy bay under the black peaks of Kiska's hills to launch their last serious attempt to invade and conquer the United States. It now seems more likely they have chosen a place to die. Midway was their first choice and they failed there. Now, de spite repetitious punishment by American bombers they are dog gedly assembling in Kiska. If they fail here they may not have strength to try again. Many Ships Lost Already the emperor's high- prowed ships are going down at their moorings, victims of bombs falling day and night from big brown and gray planes running a shuttle service of destruction along the Aleutian chain. The big PBY C:.talina flying boats first located the Japanese Kiska harbor June 10. They had moved in during a stormy week and had captured or other wise disposed of 10 American weather observers stationed there. The battle began June 11 when the first flights of navy Catalinas and army Fortress and B-24 Liberators began freighting bombs to Kiska. The weather at Kiska that day was better than usual cloudy and overcast .with only ravellngs of fog blanking ' out stretches of sea and land below. The aerographer looked it over and charitably called it a high pressure area. "Ideal for torpe does," was his opinion. Catalinas Strike Singly and in flights of two or three, the workhorse Cata linas slid across the ,mile high peak of Kiska volcano and down on the ships in the harbor. That day one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, a single destroyer and half a dozen transports lay an chored there. Five Liberators launched the first concentrated attack. They came down to 1,800 feet where they could see to work. The Japs threw up an umbrella of anti-aircraft and one Liberator caught a chunk apparently in the bomb load. He was there in formation one second and the next he came apart In searing blast that rocked the other planes. Then only a cloud of smoke and bits of debris tumb ling earthward remained. The remaining four planes re vised their technique and climb ed to, 18,000 to drop their loads. They avenged their loss, for as they left, one heavy cruiser iay flaming in the harbor, hit squar ely by heavy bombs. Before the day was over the Catalinas made seven separate attacks. One Catallna caught a sub marine on the surface enroute. Before the sub could rig for diving the Cat was on It with a load of heavy bombs. The sub broke up and sank without fir ing shot. Many fibrous materials have at one time and another been considered as potential sources of paper pulp, but the only ones of commercial importance are wood, hemp, linen. Jute, cotton and straw.
