' LONDON, July 21 (P) Japan ; esc preparations for an attack on Russia's Siberian maritime ' province and Vladivostok are al : most complete and if necessary the Japanese could "press the "' button and start to move into Siberia," a British source de colored today, ji , This source, whose Identity . was not permitted to be dis closed, said the occupation of islands at the western tip of the "Aleutians resulted in a useful '' 'strategical situation for the Jap t anese since it placed them "on i, the flank of a possible American . i attack on Japan." " While " Japan has massed an ' nrmy of about 30 divisions in VManchukuo, her military activ- ity in Burma and other areas ' necessarily has been limited, it ; was pointed out. in Burma and the South Pa cific, this source said, Japan has been consolidating her positions. ' He added that the pnly real Jap anese activity in those areas now is in the Solomon islands from which the Japanese can in ! torfcre with communications be tween the United States and Aus tralia. Bad weather, which will con tlnue until October or Novenv bcr, also has been a factor In restricting military operations by both sides in Burma. There have been no real signs, mean while, of further Japanese moves toward an invasion of India. Siberia is the danger point of the allied strategical situation in East Asia, this source said.

CURRIN'S FOR DRUGS 'Tho US Fliers in Aleutians Add a Chapter to Heroism (Continued from Page One) there are any more today the reason Is not that the crews made prudent use of their lives and planes. Every day new planes arrive to replace the fal len. They may as well prepare to make many posthumous awards. As might have been expected, tho losses have been heavy heavier than the censor would care to let me say. Everybody who knew anything about it knew the Catalinas would have tough going against anti-aircraft and Jap fighting planes. The Catalina is the navy's PBY, a huge, magnificently dur able and far reaching plane, ideal for long patrols and rough landings in these uneasy waters. Rnl vnu ran't have everything. They're too big and slow, too and big slow airplanes make nice targets for the opposition. The Catalinas began to catch it from the first flight of Jap bombers to drop on Dutch har bor. One was taking off when the bombers came in but he never got off the water. A ma rauding zero cut him up with machinegun fire, killed two men, wounded a third ana sei the nlane afire as it ran aground. During the first day another Catalina was forced down al sea and abandoned 15 miles from shore, Next Hay another wn shut down in flames off Un- alaska, her crew dead at their stations. Still another went hunting for the Jap carriers hiding in the mist and didn't come home. Two days later a patrol boat found nieces of wreckage and he nilot's floating body off Scotch Cap on Unimak island. He had got in the way of a ma chinegun burst and there wasn't much left of him. Many flew out into the fog and never came back. One was disabled at sea : and when the Tfw .lanHprl and' launched their rubber crash boat the zeros ma- chinegunned the American fliers on the water. In the third day the battle moved westward. The Catalinas dmmmpd . lhrnueh the murkv sky hour after hour seeking to re-establish contact with the Jap carriers," then hanging out somewhere in a snowstorm on the' face of a cold front below Seguam island.. . That day they began to carry toroedoes on planes not even designed " for the relatively easier job of toting bombs. One Cat was disabled trying to bomb a carrier from 1700 feet. As might have been ex- rvMoH (hp ack-ack eat him and carried awav most of one engine installation. Another ran into a formation of zeros near Egg island and went down in names. A ratalina slputhed back and forth through patches and fing ers of fog untu ne louna one carrier. Thereafter, he stuck to the enemy untu tne acK-acs shot away his rudder and later crashed at sea. Maintain Contact Gnnnt ond rain 1 cnmnminded the felonious fogs drifting over these cold waters. Crews land ed, stoked up with coffee and sandwiches, loaded their totter ing battle-worn crates with fresh hnmbi and eas and took off again into the murk. One Cata lina maintained contact with the Jap main body for 16 hours be fore the zeros beat him off. As the fifth day began the Catalinas' wing commander re ported on the state of his force. "Their superhuman endurance and doggedly heroic persistence in contacting and trailing the .nmv dav and nieht is all that has prevented the enemy at taining his lmmeaiaie ODjec tive. Since the first contact Wed- lesday morning they have flown, worked and fought with- Frlendlr Drug Store" Phone 4514 out surcease. Combat already has occurred in the darkness of the fifth morning. Their cour age and morale remain high but their physical strength is fast waning, he said. That day one Catalina found a large Jap sub on the surface and let a bomb go at about 400 feet. That was foolish, for Cata linas aren't fast enough to get away from an explosion that close. She limped home with one engine disabled by her own bomb. 'There wasn't time to stay and see what happened to the sub. It didn't take the Cat pilots long to discover a technique for avoiding zeroes in the fog, a technique which I gladly allow to remain secret. One pilot held such sublime faith in the recipe for staying alive that he pur posely baited the zeros seven times and got away with it. Rett Earned When the Japs faded into the fog and stayed there four days the Catalinas had earned a rest but didn't take it. Instead they widened the sphere of searches for the elusive visitors from Honshu. They ranged out along the 900-mile island chain, south for hundreds of miles and north around the Pribilofs in the Ber ing sea and into Bristol bay. On June 10 a Catalina found the first ships in Kiska harbor, At the first contact only two large vessels lay inside guarded by two patrol boats at the har bor entrance. Next day a Catalina discover ed Jap landing forces on Attu at the very end of the Aleutian chain. Through fog, snow, rain, wan daylight and pale night the Cats have been freighting bombs to Kiska, ever since. They are taking a horrible pounding from the ack-ack and zeros. One came away with more than 100 bullet holes through hull, wings and fit tings. Another pilot beached his tattered plane and tersely re ported "Ship now land plane. Hull no longer waterproof." Not all casualties are due to Japanese bullets. One bone weary pilot hit the water too hard and broke up his plane. "Popped 50 rivets landing," he reported, and asked for another plane so he could fly some more. Even before the Kiska bomb ing marathon began the Cata linas began to take revenge for the beating they had suffered from the Japs. One shot down an attacking zero fighter. One sank a submarine, the second sinking of the war of the mists, according to my information. They made direct hits on a light cruiser and a transport. They sank several Gargantuan Kawanishi flying boats with bullets and bombs. They set off huge explosions among the close-packed Jap ships in Kis ka. They recorded near misses on another light cruiser and de stroyer. All this they accom plished in addition to their pri mary mission of keeping the enemy under observation. A fine of $100 was meted out to Louie Polin Tuesday morning by Justice of the Peace Joe Mahoney, and the pinball ma chine which had been the cause of his arrest by state, and. city police was ordered confiscated and destroyed. Polin, who was represented in court by Pete Driscoll, pleaded guilty. The arrest was the first one made locally under a recent order by Governor Sprague at the request of army authorities, banning all gambling devices from public places.

Sir Charles Bruce-Gardner, chairman of the Society of Brit ish Aircraft Constructors, said In the new 1941 edition of "Jane's All the World's Aircraft" that the United Slates plans to build no fewer than 1000 four engined bombers every- month, many of them Liberators (Con solidated B-24's) and Fortresses (Boeing B-17's) for the RAF. The new manual said that 8574 axis planes had been shot down by the RAF from the start of the war to January 1, 1942. In the same period the RAF lost only 3692 of its own planes. (Continued from Page One) trated on annihilation of Mar shal Erwin Rommel's air force. Fires Lett .A British communique said fires were left crackling among the blasted axis planes, 30 of which were ruined or badly damaged near Fuka. An Italian plane was reported downed and others damaged In dogfights. RAF medium bombers mean while made night attacks on axis planes, tanks and trucks in the battlefront area around El Ala mein, causing explosions and fires. TWO JAP SKIPS (Continued from Page One) of conscription, said China had the manpower to carry out a plan for calling up 2.000,000 new soldiers a year for the next three years to put those arms, and others, of her own production, to use against the Japanese. On land, a Chinese communi que reported severe fighting around the Chckiang province port of Wenchow. The war bulletin said the in vaders who captured the port, lost it, then won it back in a counter attack last Friday, were being engaged hotly by Chinese troops trying to drive them out a second time. Upper Hand The Chinese were said to be getting the upper hand in the fight, having cut the Japanese lines of communication. The Chinese still held Juian, 15 miles south of Wenchow, and reported mopping up remnants of the Japanese forces driven out of that town four days ago. i-isewhcre, the Chinese re ported capturing Lingchwan in southern Ehansi province, and repulsing Japanese reinforce ments sent to rescue hard press ed garrisons Attachuyuan and Tatouyan In southern Honan province.

He thouglit it was a parachut ist. His story grew In re-telling and by the time it reached hero yesterday people were saying the army had confirmed that two parachutists landed. Some one telephoned that Information to the interceptor command. The Albany home guard and polico reserves were called out. SUB TOLL UPPED TO By The Associated Press Three Axis submarines ganged up and shelled and sank a small : British merchant vessel, the navy announced today, Tuesday after reporting earlier the torpedoing of a United States cargo ship. It took the submarines, shel ling from three angles, three hours and 20 minutes to send the vessel to the bottom, survivors said. Five men, Including the master, were killed. Thirty-six men escaped safely. Two young seamen from a United States cargo ship, the torpedoing of which was an nounced today by the navy, told a story of being taken aboard the allocking U-boat and later being put afloat in a lifeboat. Cornelius F. O'Connor, 19, of Norfolk, Va., said the submarine was forced to crash-dive to es cape navy planes shortly after it took him and Raymond Smith son, 24, of, Galveston, . Tex., aboard. Their ship was sunk June 3 In the Caribbean, the navy announced, with 15 seamen still missing from a 45-man crew. The sinking boosted to 392 the unofficial Associated Press tab ulation of United Nations' and neutral merchant vessels lost in the western Atlantic since Pearl Harbor. The seamen when put afloat In a lifeboot were stocked with water and hardtack. The hard tack, they said, was "unfit to feed a dog." Undersea raiders were cred ited with having picked off five other merchantmen in announce ments yesterday but were pic tured as having "missed the boat" during big trans-Atlantic convoy operations of last winter.
