AT SEA WITH PACIFIC FLEET, June 18 (Delayed). —Someday when the Japs are driven out of Kiska and the Aleutians are blocked as a road to conquest, the people conrned with such things will find time to hang medals on the

men flying and fighting this command's Catalina flying

boats.

There were few Catalinas here when the battle began nearly two weeks ago and if there are more today the reason is not that the crews made prudent use of their lives and

arrive to replace the fallen. As might have been expected, the losses have been heavy—heavier than the censor would care to let me say. Everybody who knew anything about it knew the Catalinas would have tough going against antiaircraft and Jap fighting planes. The Catalina is the navy's PBY, a huge, magnificently durable and far-ranging airplane, ideal for long patrols and rough landings in these uneasy waters. But you can’t have everything. They're big and slow, too—and big, slow airplanes make nice targets for the opposition.

Too Tattered to Fly

In the first 48 hours of the invasion the Catalinas landed only when too tattered to fly any longer or when they ran out of fuel. Many flew out into the fog and never came back. One was disabled at sea and when the crew landed and launched their rubber crash boat the Zeros machine-gunned the American fliers on the water.

In the third day the battle moved westward. The Catalinas drummed through the murky sky hour after hour trying to.re-establish contact with the Jap carriers, then hanging out somewhere in a snowstorm. That day they began to carry torpedoes aboard planes not even designed for the relatively easier job of toting bombs.

Voiced Admiration

On the fourth day the task force commander voiced his admiration for their well-nigh incredible durability. That day one Catalina found a arge Jap sub on the surface and let a bomb. go about at 400 feet. That was foolish for Catalinas aren’t fast enough to get away from an explosion that close. She limped home with one engine disabled by her own bomb. There wasn’t time to stay and see what happened to the sub. Day after day the snooping Cats nosed out the carriers only to be met time and again by Zeros viciously determined to protect their floating airdrome. It didn't take the Cats’ pilots long to discover a technique for avoiding Zeros in the fog, a technique which I gladly allow to reinain secret. On June 10 a Catalina found the first Jap ships in Kiska harbor. At the first contact only two large vessels lay inside guarded by two patrol boats at the harbor entrance. Next day a Catalina discovered Jap landing forces on Attu at the very end of the Aleutian chain. Through fog, snow, rain, wan daylight and pale night the Cats have been freighting bombs to -Kiska ever since.

Take Revenge

‘Even before the Kiska bombing ‘marathon began the Catalinas began to take revenge for the beating they had suffered from the Japs. One shot down an attacking Zero fighter. One sank a submarine, the second sinking of the war of the mists, according to my information. : They made direct hits on a

sank several gargantuan Kawanishi flying boats with bullets and bombs. They set off huge explosions among the close-packed Jap ships in Kiska. They recorded near misses on another light cruiser and destroyer. All this they accomplished , in addition to their orimary mission of keeping the enemy

under observation.

Death Follows in Less Than

Two Months After Parole From U. S. Prison.

P.)—M. L. Annenberg, 64, a German immigrant who became publisher of the Philadelphia Inquirer and half-a-dozen other newspapers and magazines and organizer ‘of ‘died in -St. Mary's hospital last night, less than two months after he was paroled from federal prison, ; He arrived at the Mayo clinic shortly after he was released on June 3, and spent four days in his hosiptal bed completing arrange-

sonal and business affairs. On July 4, he was operated upon, but because of his age and poor physical condition, grew steadily worse.” Unconscious since Sunday, he died at 9:45 last night. With him were his wife, his son, Walter, and his seven daughters.

Admitted Tax Evasion

Annenberg, having pleaded guilty in 1939 to evading in 1936 income taxes totaling $1,217,196, was sentenced to serve three years in the Lewisburg, Pa., federal penitentiary. Although he pleaded guilty to only one tax evasion charge, he was accused of evading income taxes totaling $3.238,809 from 1933 to 1936, with fines and penalties, the figure was $5,548,384, and freasury claims over a long period were understood to total around $12,000,000. He settled in the spring of 1940 for some $10,000,000, to be paid over a period of seven years. The government received $500,000 in cash immediately and mortgages on most of his property, including the Inquirer, to secure the rest. Twice in 1941 he appiied for parole on the ground of ill health and was refused. The federal parole board announced last May, however, that he would be paroled on June 11. Because of his health, he was released on June 3, and immediately went to a Philadelphia hospital, thence to the Mayo clinic.

Published Many Magazines

He published the Daily Racing Form, the New York Morning Telégraph, owned . Nationwide = News Service, now disbanded, published the Massillon, O., Independent, a number of magazines, including Screen Guide, Radio and Movie Guide, Stardom, Click and various detective magazines, and founded the Miami, Fla., Tribune, which he later sold to the Knight chain for merging with (the Miami Herald. His biggest publishing enterprise

‘was the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Annenberg is survived by his widow, Sadie Cecelia Annenberg; a son, Walter H., vice president of the Inquirer Publishing Co., and seven daughters. :

WAAG CONTINGENT

The army today revealed that Camp Atterbury would receive a contingent of the women’s army auxiliary corps some time in the future following basic training at Ft. Des Moines, Ia. The war department pointed out that thousands of soldiers fit and wanting to be in combat can be efficiently replaced by members of the WAAC. ; Only a few Indianapolis women appeared at the army recruiting station here yesterday for WAAC applications. However, recruiting officials were not surprised since recruiting of the “privates” and non-commissioned officers which began today will be open until at least the first of the year.
