(We had a submarine contact during the service). . Old Glory was at half mast, a marine squad with glistening garand rifles was standing by. Husky Captain Francis C. Den brink his face solemn stepped up to the microphone. . "Death is at all times a solemn . thing," he said, "but never so much as at sea. Larry Weiss was only 20. He was bom in Stockton. Calif. ' In April, 1940, he enlisted in the navy and in October he came to the , the only ship on which he had ever served. He was a boy of great force of character. He hated inhibitions." Weiss was a radio man third class, so conscientious about his work that his shipmates called him the Sergeant. I have written about him be cause he is typical of the thous ands of American boys who nave left their homes to fight in . the navy. I also thought that through his passing I could tell the parents, wives and sweet hearts of American sailors just how the navy cares for its dead. ...

Dec. 17 W) De spite bad weather, a small force of RAF bombers attacked tar gets in northwest Germany last night, the air ministry announ ced today. Mines also were laid in en emy waters, the announcement aid. One British aircraft was reported lost and one German Messerschmltt shot down during these operations. It was the first attack on Ger many since the night of Decem ber 6, when targets in southwest Germany were bombed. Members of the county court were struggling with the job of making up a circuit court jury list for 1943 on Thursday. The list must include 450 names. From it will be chosen the panels for jury trials in cir cuit court in the coming year. Bothering the county officials is the fact that the list may in clude the names of many people who have moved from the county or have gone to the armed serv ices. There is no way the court can know the present resident status of many of the people whose names go on the jury list. Judge Reeder said Thursday that an additional 50 names will be placed on the list to make sure it will include at least 450 bona fide residents who other wise qualify for jury service. Jap Invaders on Kiska Feel Pinch as Supply Line Hit (Continued From Page One) W. Fletcher ' of' Yuma, Colo., went in without anti-aircraft resistance and. completed the job in one run, scoring three direct hits with 13 bombs. In fact the fighters insisted ; they had al ready delivered a mortal blow. With the United States air pa trols flying over Kiska as many as two or three times a day, of ficers point out the. only possi bility that supplies may have been landed would have been by submarines ' or surface vessels which slipped in in the night and were gone beforemorning. Although it is recognized the Japs may cling to . the island longer than might white troops due. to their' ability to live on fish and little rice, natives point out that nothing else, aside from few roots known to is landers is available on the island. Besides the certain shortage of food, the invaders seem likewise to be running short of ammuni- I tion, since although it is known ! they possess anti-aircraft guns capable of reaching up to 20,000 feet their fire against American I planes of recent weeks has been I strictly limited to heights of ' 2000 or 3000 feet.

Climax Impends The canal linking Tunis and its port of La Goulctte was re ported partly-blocked from the bombing. Docks, barracks, an oil storage depot and a railway freight yard were hit, and the sky glowed with fires. Whatever the turn of fighting at the approaches to Tunis and Bircrte, it was apparent that the impending major test was near as abating rains presaged swift renewal of full scale mechan ized fighting.

Dec. 17 VP) Wage increases of 7H cents on hour were ordered for approxi mately 65,000 Oregon and Wash ington lumber and plywood workers by the west coast lum ber commission here today. The Awards affect only lum ber workers in the so-called fir belt and does not apply to pine workers east of the Cascades. The increase, retroactive to September 1 in all cases and to May 1 in others, boosts the industries minimum from 824 to 90 cents an hour. It was pointed out that many opera tors, harried by desertions to better-paid war industries, al ready have boosted their mini mums to this figure. All back pay will be made in war stamps and bonds, the commission said. Workers who have, gone to other industries must return to their old Jobs I within 30 days to claim back 'pay. EDITORIALS ON NEWS " (Continued From Pago One) the Japs' new airfield at Munda, having jus,t delivered their seventh punishing attack there. The Jap base at Duin hr.s also been raided. The navy says significantly to day that NO ENEMY RESIST ANCE either aircraft or anti aircraft gunr was encountered. ', 1 TTHERE'S an intimation in the ! news tpday that the Japs at i Kiska may be facing starvation, as well as exhaustion of their ammunition, as a result off in ability, to get ' relief ' ships to them. Keep your fingers crossed un til it happens. AS to the North Pacific, here's " a thought: If the Japs decide to attack Siberia, they'll move first to keep us from getting help to the Russians. Kiska was a step in that direction. The Kamchatka peninsula (consult your map) will almost certainly be the next step. It's just possible that if we go after Kiska IN FORCE, the Japs may move against Kamchatka in force and IMMEDIATELY. So it may be that our high com mand is willing to let sleeping dogs lie in that quarter. (For the present, that is; until we get better sot in Alaska.) It's a pure guess, and a wild one, at that. But it does help to explain our lack of decisive effort in the western Aleutians. NEW TOMORROW 7" 'ljJIll"ljHJf i'll'tf "SPIRIT You'll Feel Your I "phantom of E I CHINATOWN" Flesh Creep . .
