Incessant Bombing Keeps
Jap Airfield Uncompleted
By WILLIAM L. WORDEN
AN ALEUTIAN ISLAND
BASE, May 2 (Delayed) (IP) An
incessant aerial pounding by
American bombs has kept the
Japanese from completing the
air field that has been under
construction for several months
on Kiska island.
The bombing pace reached a
record rate during April to make
the rocky Aleutian island the
most consistently bombed spot
in the Pacific.
(A compilation from navy
communiques shows an even
higher tempo for May, with 31
bombing raids in the first three
days of the month, bringing to
330 the announced raids since
February 1.) , '
