Tho bombers laid a atlck of
IS 200-pound bomb a In the
neighborhood of Kort Mears.
Hiirrucka nnd warehouses in the
fort installation wcro hit and
began to burn, a fire that smol
dered for thrco daya.
A Zero attacked another Cat-

In tho hurbor knocked down

hits were claimed on others:
Unlike other occuslona which
history may record, Dutch liar
bor wna rcudy for attack with
everything but weather. The
weather along tho Aleutians ia
never fuvorublo for anything
but getting lost.
Our Cutiilinna and tho urmy'a
big Fortresa bombers wero out
aeurchlng ovon before tho first
plane appeared. Within an hour
of the second attack one Cat,
snooping through thu drifting
wreaths und festoons of mist
stumbled on ono nlrcruft carrier
lurking south of Umnuk, the
next big Island west of Unulua-
ka.
By midufternoon a second
carrier was spotted In tlio Ber
ing aca above the Island chain.
Ono Down
A runging P-30 fighter en
countered two Jnp cruiser type
observation planes on Umnuk
pass und shot one down In
flumes. The other got away.
Other enemy planes wero acen
200 miles farther cast off Sand
point on I'opof Island in tho
Shumugln group.
Dutch hurbor found the going
hotter when the accond attack
materialized shortly after noon.
Tho first pianos had stayed
0000 feet up and dropped their
loads from that height with as
meager succesa us tho Jup usu-
ully achieve in horizontal bombing.
Tho second wave by three
closely-spucc-d thrce plune bomb

of dive bombing. Auiericun dive

their method.
They dropped sticks of three
900-pound bombs each, shoot
ing for the navy radio Installa

on tlio radio, putting it out of
commission for several hourB.
They achieved neur misses
alongside several old wooden
fuel tanks und munuged, believe
It or not, to hit the only hospi

The pluncs retired northward,
pursued by fighters, ack-ack and
even Catulinua.

The Cutallnaa stayed In the

Kuve out, lunded to refuel und
went back to the Job. Tho quest
ing planes picked up one currier
uguln at noon, finding two cruis
ers In company. Contact was es
tablished again at 5 p. in, and
yet again at 0 p, m.
Ono home-bound Cut broke
out of the clouda around Umnuk
puss and found itself surround
ed by Jup planes. Ho turned und
scuttled buck into the murk,
carrying a few new bullet holes
for souvenirs.
A few minutes later 10 Zero
fightcra, 10 dive-bombing Koke
klkia and eight torpedo planes
were diving into black and yel
low anti aircraft bursts from the
hnrbor's guns.
Twisting Down
From the celling, then 12,000
feet high, the Jups came twist
ing down to lay their bombs in
the area of hangars, barracks,
shops and fuel storage. This
accond day's raid was more ef
fective than the first. They
made several good hits and sev
eral near misses. Providentially
American casualties were 'few.
The attacks were driven home
viciously, but the defenders re
garded the damage as something
less tiian serious. No attack by
ao few planes can hope to knock
out a well established base.
Except for a subsequent weak
attempt against Umnuk island,
the second day's raid has been
the last against American bases
in the Aleutians unless the oc
cupation of empty Kiska and
Attu constitutes attack.
What the Japanese hate worse
than anything else is to "lose
face." Be it ever so homely
there's no face like your own.
TO BE IMPOSED
WASHINGTON, July 22 W)
Tho office of price administra
tion announced Tuesduy thut
prlco ceilings soon would be im
posed on pulpwood, ut levels
"much lower" than the current
market, to protect existing ceil
ings on prices of such products
as newsprint.
OPA reported that prices for
peeled spruce and other types of
pulpwood, especially that cut and
peeled this summer in the New
England states, Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota, hud been
advancing steadily, forcing the
cost to producers of wondpulp
up about 25 per cent. This ad
vance, officials declared, had
"squeezed" the producers who
operate under woodpulp price
ceilings.
If woodpulp prices advanced,
OPO pointed out, the price ceil
ings on newsprint and other
papers would be threatened.
By reducing prices at the raw
material level, OPA will be able
to eliminate the "squeeze."
OPA reported that some pulp
wood producers were withhold
ing stocks, anticipating higher
prices in the future, forcing
many pulp producers to con
tract for wood from distant
sources at increased transporta
tion costs.
In addition, fears of dimin
ishing wood supplies also have
caused producers to bid up prices
in competition among them-
Dimond Calls for
First Class Force
In Aleutians
WASHINGTON, July 22 (IP)
Delegate Dimond of Alasku
called on the war and navy de
partments Tuesday to send a
"first-class- force" to Alaska to
oust the Japanese from the three
Aleutian islands they have oc
cupied. "We fought the invaders at
Midway but we haven't In the
Aleutians," Dimond said in an
Interview. "If we had behaved
the same way at Midway, the
Japs would have had Midway
and some of the Hawaiian is
lands by this time.
"The Japs are becoming firm
ly established, on the basis of
articles telling about their suc
cesses," he said. "If we had j
asserted ourselves fhey wouldn't :
have made that progress." j
Dimond said that recent news-1
paper accounts of the landings

selves, "until the price of wood j
no longer bears its usual relation 1
to its cost." OPA asserted. 1
tended to confirm his own pri
vate, reports that tho Jupanes
had a force of 25,000 troop)
available for the task.
