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

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

through his passing I could tell
the parents, wives and sweet
hearts of American sailors just
how the navy cares for its
dead. ...

RAF Bombers Attack
Targets in North
Germany Wednesday
LONDON. 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

The increase, retroactive to

to May 1 in others, boosts the

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.
