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.

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.
The loss of the medium-sized
American vessel, sent to the
bottom June 28 about 650 miles
off the east coast, and a small
British ship torpedoed in the
Caribbean May 28 raised to 395
the unofficial Associated Press
tabulation of United Nations
and neutral sinkings in the west
ern Atlantic since Pearl Harbor.
IS of Crew Lost
Sinking of the British craft
cost the lives of 16 men from a
crew of 48. Two torpedoes rip
ped into the ship and the gun
ners had no chance to fire as
the attacking U-boat did not
surface.
Survivors from the U. S. ship
said at an east coast port that
Miles Nelkin gave his life in
releasing rafts which saved 18
seamen from the 37-man crew.
The men were on the rafts 19
days before being rescued.
Cruising in the ship's wreck
age, they fished potatoes and
onions out of the water to sup
plement their store of biscuits.
Oiler William Thompson deftly
used an oar to black-jack fish
who came to the surface to
nibble on seaweed.
"Raw fish are delicious,'
Thompson said, "especially after
you get to like uncooked onions
and potatoes.

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.
In fact, some men, who have b UP wly enough to se
come home late enough to se who's driving the little white
truck, suddenly have developed more than passing interest
in the milkman. For she'i really milkmaid, and pretty tool
Her name is Mrs. Bessie Hall.
And clad In white, one-piece
overalls, with a ribbon holding
back her brunette curls, she's
quite a revelation to the early
riser as he gropes his way to the
door for his morning paper and
coffee cream.
But with the possible excep

maid's equipment is standard.
She drives a little white run
about in a standing position, and
can hustle the bottles as well as
any man. She has a regular
route serving restaurants, apart

She swings in and out of traffic
with no trouble and can hold
her own with the toughest-truck

No Traffic Difficulties
But Bessie is a lady, and she's
doing her job just as thousands
of other women are doing re

It was funny at first." she
said. "Everytime I'd get out in
traffic someone would holler',
'Look at the lady driving the
milk truck." They're getting
used to me now, thank heaven."
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."
