3. The first attack on Dutch Harbor and Ft. Mears was made at about 6 a. m. on June 3, concurrently with the early stages of the Japanese attack on Midway, Five waves of three planes each, launched from carriers to the southward of Dutch Harbor, participated in the 20-minute attack, which was concentrated on Dutch Harbor and the nearby army station at Ft. Mears.
Attack Not Unexpected
. 4. Three U. S. destroyers, an army transport, a minesweeper and a coast guard cutter were in the harbor, as well as an old station ship, the Northwestern, which had been beached and was used as barracks for contractors’ personnel. The attack was not unexpected, and anti-aircraft crews, who were at their battle stations, both aboard the ships and at the shore batteries, opened fire five minutes before the first bomb was dropped. To obtain maneuverability the ships present got underway, continuing their anti-aircraft fire. No ship was hit during the raid. Two of the attacking aircraft were shot down. +4 5. A few barracks and warehouses at Ft. Mears and Dutch Harbor were bombed and set afire and a navy patrol plane which was about to take off with official mail was strafed.
L Bomb Enemy Carrier
6. On June 4, army bombers and navy patrol planes located and attacked the enemy carriers which ‘had launched the attacking planes. Several bomb and torpedo attacks were made, but results could not be observed. 7. One enemy plane was shot down during the several reconnaissance flights which the Japanese made over the Dutch Harbor area following the initial raid. 8. About 5 p. m. on June 4, 18 carrier-based bombers and 16 fighters attacked the installations at Dutch Harbor and Ft. Mears. This
. attack was “made simultaneously
with an attack on the army post at Ft. Glenn, about 70 miles west of Dutch Harbor on the island of Umnak, where nine enemy fighters strafed shore installations. Two of the attacking planes were shot down by army pursuit planes and the remaining 7 withdrew without inflicting damage.
44 Lives Are Lost
9. The alarm at Dutch Harbor and Ft. Mears was sounded well in advance of the attack and the enemy was met with heavy anti-aircraft fire from ship and shore batteries. The station ship Northwestern was bombed and destroyed by fire. A warehouse and a few fuel oil tanks were hit and set afire, and one empty aircraft hangar was hit. 10. Casualties amounted to approximately 44 military and naval
. personnel killed. and 49 wounded,
and one civilian employee killed. 11. Since June 4, there have been no further attacks on Dutch Harbor, Ft. Sears, Ft. Glenn or any other U. S, military installations in Alaska or the Aleutian islands. 12. Our naval patrol planes, ARM bombers and submarines, under the unified command of the navy, have conducted the following attacks on the enemy forces which have made landings in the westernmost island groups which include Attu and Kiska. ; (A) On June §, army aircraft attacked an enemy cruiser with undetermined results.

The Military Results
13. The military results of the Aleutian campaign to date are as follows: (A) The enemy inflicted minor damage to the naval station at Dutch Harbor and the army post at Ft. Mears but did not seriously impair their military effectiveness. (B) The enemy has occupied the undefended islands of Atto, Kiska and Agattu in the westernmost. tip of the Aleutian chain and has constructed temporary living facilities ashore. (C) At least seven enemy aircraft have been destroyed and our pilots’ reports indicate damage and possible destruction of several others. A number of our aircraft have been lost. (D) As previously reported, the following damage has been inflicted on the enemy naval forces since June 3: SUNK 3 Destroyers 1 Transport

VINCENNES CAN'T SHIP. ITS RUBBER
VINCENNES, Ind, July 18 (U. P.).—Mayor A. B. Taylor today reported a real problem—local oil companies have 435,000 pounds of scrap rubber and there are no truck or men to haul it away. But Mayor Taylor and the county committee who were in charge of collecting the rubber haven't given up yet. Yesterday the mayor appealed to Dudley Smith, state executive chairman for the war production board and head of the Indiana salvage committee, for help in ‘hauling the rubber from the local filling stations and loading it on railway cars for shipment. He said he hadn’t’ given the matter much attention until this week because he thought the oil companies, who paid a cent a pound for the scrap and who will receive $25 a ton from the government for it, would pay for the hauling and loading. However, the oil companies already had planned to turn the profits over to the army and navy relief funds.
SPONSORS CARD PARTY The kitchen band of Women of the Moose will sponsor a card party at 8:15 p. m. tomorrow in the Temple. :
Military observers suggested today that America’s smashing victory in
the battle of Midway may have forced Japan’s war lords to order a halt in their offensive in tHe fogshrouded Aleutians. They pointed out that no United States military installations in the long chain of islands stretching westward from Alaska have been attacked since June 4—the second day of the gigantic battle off Midway in which co-ordinated army, navy and marine airpower scored one of the greatest sea victories of all times. This suggests, they said, that Japan’s entire offensive strategy may have been “thrown out of kilter.” But they warned against unjustified optimism, offering four alternative explanations of the lull in Aleutian operations: 1. That Japan wanted the three westernmost islands she now occupies—undefended Attu, Kiska and Agattu—as a pivot for offensive operations against Russia, or to protect her own flank against a possi-

BLUE INVESTIGATORS ARREST 2 AT TAVERN
Prosecutor Sherwood Blue today recommended to the alcoholic beverage commission the revocation of the tavern permit of the Happy
Hour tavern, 838 S. Meridian st.. after his investigators arrested the proprietor and a bartender there last night on charges of violating} the 1935 beverage act. The men charged with the violation were Burl Adams, 902 Church st., who Mr. Blue said admitted being the proprietor, and Charles C. Eddleman, the bartend-|: er. The arrests were, made after one of the investigators said he bought a drink of whiskey at the tavern which the prosecutor’s office said holds only a beer license. Mr. Blue said there had been “several” complaints about the tavern and that if the “A. B. C. would immediately start proceedings for the revocation of the permit in this instance such action would deter other permittees from violating the law.”
ELECTRIC CHAIR BORROWED
HURON, 8S. D,, July 18 (U. P.)— Two South Dakota men convicted of murder are doomed to die on schedule. The state board of charities and corrections announced yesterday that it had accepted the loan of an electric chair from the state of Illinois. Indiana and Vermont had offered similar loans, after South Dakota had failed to get priorities to build a chair for the first electrocutions in its his-
tory.
2. That the initial attack on Dutch Harbor on June 3 was launched to distract American attention from Midway, perhaps hoping to divert strength from that vital Pacific outpost. 3. That Japan’s operations are largely “face-saving,” intended to appease the Japanese people for the American air raid on Tokyo and other major cities on the Japanese mainland. 4. That unexpected strength displayed by U. 8. army and navy detachments in the Dutch Harbor area only has stalled temporarily further Japanese penetration. Whatever the explanation, Japan's operations there have been costly, and the navy promises grimly that “operations against the enemy in this area continue.” A communique yesterday summarized all operations to date. It listed three enemy destroyers and one transport sunk, and “at least” seven enemy aircraft destroyed. Previously, Lieut. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of the. army air forces, had reported one Japanese
cruiser sunk & and an enemy as

Two Everett, Mass., plants of the Monsanto Chemical Co., and its subsidiary, New England Alcohol Co.,, were closed by three-day-old strike of 250 members of the Chemical Workers Union of America (A.

SPENGER RULING ON
LIQUOR TAX APPEALED
A Marion county superior: court decision exempting wholesale liquor dealers from payment of gross income tax on the 25 cents a’ quart excise levy was appealed to the Indiana supreme court today by the state gross income tax division. The appeal was filed by Atty. Gen. George N. Beamer from an opinion by Judge Herbert E. Wilson of superior court 5. Midwest Liquor Dealers, Inc., representing the wholesalers, contend they act as an agent for the state in affixing tax stamps and collecting the tax levy when they sell to retailers. In his appeal, Mr. Beamer declared that the liquor wholesaler is passing the tax to the consumer and therefore is subject to the 1 per cent gross income levy on the

The governmental rationing of new tires, and the current scarcity of used tires, together with the increasing demand for tires by the public, has resulted in the use of unscrupulous methods by some tire dealers who are taking ad-
vantage of the situation.
Many complaints have come to our attention from individuals who have purchased used tires which were represented as being in “good” condition, and looked as if they were! After very few miles on the road, however, the tires have blown out completely, and subsequent close examination revealed that the tires had been expertly painted to cover up serious defects on both the inside and outside of the tires. In some instances the tire had been “remolded” whereby a very thin coating of rubber had been added to the entire surface of the tire, covering defects. This rubber coating peeled away frcm the body of the tire after driving a
few miles.
One particularly tricky dealer asks his customers to sign
a receipt form which merely shows the cost of the tire. According to the dealer, the sole purpose of this paper is
to “prove to the O. P. A. that we're not violating the ceiling’ However, when buyers have later returned the
prices.”
blown-out tires and requested an adjustment, their request was refused and the same piece of paper was produced, NOW completely filled out in the form of a release from
all liability on the part of the dealer, and the buyer's -
signature appeared below this writing that had been added to the paper AFTER the signature was obtained by trickery.
Remember—When buying a used Tire:
1. Deal with a reputable dealer.
2. Examine the tire very closely for hidden or camou-
flaged defects.
8. NEVER sign your name to a blank piece of paper. 4. Most tire dealers do not guarantee used tires at all. If they do, they will not object to reducing any verbal guarantee to a written statement explaining the exact terms of the guarantee.
