V. 90.4 Proof NIPPOS RECEIVED Describes Action Which Started June 3 With At tack by 15 Fighter Planes By Keith Wheeler (Copyright, 1942, by Chicago . Times, Inc.) At Sea with Pacific Fleet (De layed) The war of the mists be gan June 3 with the first Jap anese attack on Dutch Harbor, America's base on Unalaska island. The Japs appeared from the morning murk at 8:09 a. m., 15 fighters clearing the way for four Kokekiki carrier based bombers. Base Strafed Fighters, identified as Zeros, came down and splattered ma chine gun bullets on shore instal lations, barracks, warehouses, the radio station and on several Catalina flying boats in the har bor. The bombers laid a stick of 18 200-pound bombs In the neigh borhood of Fort Mears. Barracks and warehouses in the fort in stallation were hit and began to burn, a fire that smoldered three days. The anti-aircraft jegan to snort and bellow all around the harbor with the first Jap plane to break through the mist. Gunners on a seaplane tender lying in the har bor knocked down two fighters and a bomber and hits were claimed on others. Weather Always Bad Unlike other occasions which history may record, Dutch Har bor was ready for attack With everything but weather. Weather along the Aleutians is never fa vorable for anything but getting lost. Our Catalinas and the army's big fortress bombers were out searching even before the first plane appeared. Within an hour of the second attack one Cat, snooping through the drifting wreaths and festoons of mist, stumbled on one aircraft carrier lurking south of Umnak. the next big Island west of Unalaska. By midafternoon a second car rier was spotted in the Berins sea above the Island chain. A ranging P-39 fighter encoun tered two Jap cruiser type ob servation planes on Umnak pass and shot one down in flames. The other got away. Other enemy planes were seen 200 miles far ther east off Sandpoint on Popof island In the Shumagin group. 10 00: common down to t 00; few feeders 99.60; food ewes 93.7S-4.2A; common down to $1-50.

CHINA HERB CO. 23 C Main St Mtdford Br the Associated Press The navy today announced two more sinkings in the west ern Atlantic with a loss of 35 lives. Fifty crewmen were saved, 18 of them through the heroic s. crif ice of a 25-year-old seaman aboard a U. S. cargo vessel.

Woman Milk Truck Driver Cheery Eyeful for Early -Rising Males Memphis, ' Tenn., (ll.fi) Memphis housewives who used to enjoy writing chummy little notes to the milkman when they needed an extra bottle of cream, now find their husbands beating them to it.

Asked if she ever had any traf fic difficulties, she replied: "Of course not. There's a lot of bunk about women drivers. I've been driving trucks, tractors and autos since I was 17 and never had an accident. But I've got my fingers crossed." 'It was a great stunt when I put Mrs. Hall on a route," said her employer, dairyman J. C. Harbin.
