Czechs Facing New Terror As Gestapo Hangman Dies

three bullets from his spinal column. Heydrich, whose title was “deputy Reich protector of Bohemia and Moravia,” was, next to his chief, Heinrich Himmler, the most feared of the Gestapo terrorists. He was credited with having ordered the execution of 250 Czechs within two weeks of his appointment as “protector,” and recently took death and torture into occupied France where Adolf Hitler sent him on a special mission to curb unrest. No Clues to Killers Despite the offer of a reward of | 10,000,000 crowns (about $235,000) | for information on Heydrich’s asgassins, and the Gestapo's bloody slaughter of Czech martyrs, Czech quarters here said no clues had been discovered.

The enemy losses were announced following disclosure that Japanese submarines, opening warfare on the vital allied supply line to America, fiad sunk one allied ship and attacked two others.

Dutch Harbor is the major American base in those islands and lies some 1400 miles east of the nearest Japanese islands and about 2500 miles from Tokyo.

News Shocks Capital

Although such air raids had been anticipated, news of the Dutch Harbor attacks came with shocking

inavy issued more than two com|muniques in a single day. Three |communiques on the Dutch Harbor |incident were released within five hours. The first said: “Information has been received that Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was attacked by four Japanese bombers and about 15 fighters at approximately 6 a. m, local time today (ncon EWT.) The attack lasted] approximately 15 minutes. No fur-| ther details are available at this

the submarine and naval base. lo-| cated there has been going ahead, as fast as humanly possible during the last two years. Dutch Harbor, while the most important base in the Aleutian islands, ‘is not the most important in Alaska. More powerful is the base on Kodiak island—600 miles to the east. The little port of Dutch Harbor is considered unimportant commercially because of the fog-—caused by Arctic winds meeting the warm Japanese current—and treacherous uncharted rocks in the vicinity. But it is strategically located for military purposes, being about halfway on the great circle San Fran-cisco-to-Yokohama route. It also forms the first line of defense for

time.” Two hours later came this announcement: “Further reports on the Japanese air attack at Dutch Harbor, which! took place earlier today, state there] were but few casualties. A few warehouses were set on fire but no serious damage was suffered.”

Streng Fighter Protection

Finally, shortly after 8:15 p. m. (EWT.), the navy told of the second attack: “A brief report just received in the navy department states that for the second time today enemy planes have attacked Dutch Harbor. The second attack was made about noon, local time (6 p. m, EWT), six hours after the initial attack.” Air experts said the bombers in the first attack had unusually heavy fighter protection. The small size of the bomber force—only four—and the vastly greater fighter escort indicated, they said, that the Japanese apparently were eager to have those craft return.

could have been a feint to cover a raid on the American mainland, although the state of alert on the Pacific coast indicates nobody was fooled. As Secretary Stimson warned last week, the Japanese are preparing to attack continental United States. A raid on the distant outpost of Dutch Harbor hardly would satisfy (Japanese pride, or restore enough | “face” to atone for our destructive {raid on the heart of their empire. | The nature of the raid indicates that it was by carrier-based planes, which is the only way the Japanese could attack the United States proper. A Japanese fleet bound from Japan for the United States would most likely take the northern circle route, just north of which lies Dutch Harbor. The Japanese are concentrating their naval activity in the Pacific. The cruisers and carriers which they had in the Bay o Bengal when India was bombed and it looked as though the Japanese were going to try to take Ceylon, have been entirely withdrawn.

On Feb. 23 a submarine lobbed several shells ashore near Santa Barbara, Cal.

on Tuesday while Rommel concentrated on plans for eliminating the Bir Hacheim or southern salient of the imperial line, 46 miles southwest of Tobruk, “The enemy is known to have lost at least 14 tanks in this engagement,” the headquarters communique said. The communique said another axis attack, involving Italian troops and “some” German tanks, developed at Bir Hacheim yesterday “but was not pressed home.” This disclosure indicated that the Free French and Indian forces who for more than week have protected the Bir Bacheim outpost, remained streng. | Stuka dive-bombers, the commu= nique said, were supporting the axis |advance against Bir Hacheim, but {royal air force planes were said to {have engaged the enemy raiders | “successfully.”

| Strike at Axis Rear

| From the Bir Hacheim salient, the British were sending raiding columns westward to strike at the axis rear. These units apparently were working in conjunction with a column that previously drove westward and seized the important German supply base of Segnali, 44 miles west of Knightsbridge. Rommel apparently had repaired part of the extensive damage suffered during the first phase of the campaign and was gambling on eliminating the southern part of the El Gazala-Bir Hacheim line, Should he succeed, he would remove a menace to his supply route through the Ualeb and Mteifel EsSeghir gaps in the British mine fields, minimize a new imperial threat to his rear communications and strengthen his position for new offensive thrusts toward El Gazala or possibly Tobruk.
