PAGE TWELVE HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS.. OREGON October 1, 1943 PREPARE FOR JAP RETURN, L Bv NORMAN BELL ADAK, Alaska, Oct. 1 (P Major General Landrum, wno commanded army troops In the bloodiest fishtins to clear the Aleutians of their Japanese in vasion threat, thinks "U wouia be foolish" not to be prepared : for possible comeback attempt by the tricky Japanese. 'The victor in the battle of Attu last May made the statement in an interview and discussion of the more recent and bloodless conquest of Kiska. United States and Canadian forces which landed on the lat . ter island in August, only to find the Japanese had evacuated, dis covered such signs as these on walls of the abandoned head quarters huts: "We will come back and kill out separately Yankee joker." "Remember Kiska." General Landrum said it was probable that the signs were mere boasts and that the Japa nese had drawn back definitely to their own soil for a strictly defensive war. "I don't know what's In the Japanese mind," he added. "However, it's far better to be prepared for anything." - The knitters, who have been so faithfully working on- the navy quota, will be glad to know that the army yarn has now ar rived, as the army olive drab- is much easier on the eyes than the navy blue.

For i this navy quota our knitters t turned out zzh pairs of gloves, - wiiiun is ivdi acnievemem. ' The army quota consists of V- , neck sweaters, helmets and cloves.
