PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON August 18, 19'4 Wade In, Tear Japs Apart, S ays D e Witt After Tour of Attu . By EUGENE BURNS AN ADVANCED ALEUTIANS BASE. Aug. 28 W Lt. Gen. John L. De Witt, back from an inspection trip to the western end of hU command at Attu, warned that "We must carry the war to the Japanese; we must wade in and tear Japan apart, and dynamite and gut her with Incendiaries." . The head of the western defense command reiterated, In a quonset hut interview, that Japan must be hit with the full offen sive fury of the United Nations and qulckly.- "Our future yours, mine and every other American's is first upon, the Pacific, .he de- dared in a quiet, determined voice. "Japan is our mortal foe." Bold and determined fight ing, he said, won for Japan most of her early war objectives. "Since - then," -he continued, "she has had a year to pour concrete into her gun positions, which cover all the beach land ings. She is today training arm ies from overrun peoples. She is pillaging the richest empire in the world to make guns and bullets to fight us. "Today we have only Japan to fight. If we -wait for Japan to organize the countries she has overrun we will be fighting the most heavily manpowered nation in the world, and one of the most resourceful. ' "We must not allow '.Japan time to indoctrinate these con quered people. We must not let her dip deeper into her rich treasures." , . . "Alaska Is the base from which to launch an offensive," he asserted. "Today we have a chain of bases extending from San Francisco to Attu to carry out Tokyo's ultimate destruc tion." At the same time, he contend ed, the Philippines should be recaptured to cut asunder the Japanese supply lines while aid Is speeded up to China. By such a multiple pronged offensive against Japan, the general predicted, "we can smoke out her fleet and force her ships to fight. We can chase their tincan Zeros into the sir or we will wreck them in their revetment. " Referring to the approximate llstsnrt between the American Aleutian bases and Japan's northernmost base at Parmu shiro, the general declared: "Successful bombing cannot be done when you are still 790 miles from your target and your planes must fly 1500 miles. One heavy bomber based within 250 miles of a target is worth five bombers 750 miles away. "To bomb Japan's homeland bases effectively, we must wrench base after base from the Japs." He estimated that one gun aimed at the' Japanese today is worth five"1; guns ' two years hence; 50,000 troops storming a Japanese beach are worth 100, 000 a year from today, and 100 heavy bombers raining destruc tion on Paramushiro today are worth 1000 two years from to day.

Aug. 27 (Pi Brendan Bracken, British min ister of Information, assailed at a press conference today "uncon scious fifth columnists" who he' said fostered naii propaganda by spreading rumors that soviet Russia might seek a separate peace with Germany.

Great Britain and Russia have a treaty govern ing this point, and soviet Russia has never broken its word.
