"To Convert Zeros Into

‘Seaplanes.

® (The following is the first United Press dispatch to reach the United States direct from Alaska, via fourth army command channels, describing the battle of the Aleutians.)

By RUSSELL ANNABEL United Press Staff Correspondent

hard in the Aleutian islands and returning bomber pilots revealed today that they have been able to find their targets day and night despite weather conditions hitherto described ag suicidal. The pilots told how their unre_|lenting attacks on the barren, rocky terrain of the outer Aleutians have

made it necessary for the Japanese’ at Kiska to convert their zero fighters into seaplanes.

Talks to Senators

“This is the first time any air force has used fast single seat fighters equipped for landing on water,” one army air force officer said. He reported to Maj. Gen. Simon Buckner, commanding general of the Alaskan defenses who conferred with the senate military affairs subcommittee investigating Alaskan defenses. The four military affairs subcommittee members on the inspection tour were: A. B. (Happy) Chandler (D. Ky.), Mon C. Wallgren (D. Wash.), Rufus C. Holman R. Ore) and Harold H. Burton R. 0)... The bomber pilots. described how a group of big U. S. bombers heading back to base with empty bomb racks, broke out of the clouds at 10,000 feet into an attack by four zeros on floats. The zeros were beaten off without damage to the bombers.

Won’t Risk Carrier

Because of incessant bombing attacks, American air observers believed the Japs thus far have been unable- to complete runways at Kiska and the enemy apparently has been unable to risk holding an aircraft carrier force within the range of attack by land-based U. S. bombers. Army pilots believed another factor that has made the Japanese convert their zero fighters into seaplanes was the fact that the earth formation of Kiska, underlying a thin layer of volcanic ash, is of hard columnar basalt, a rock extremely difficult to work. The hard rock makes the construction of runways a time-consuming task even under the best of conditions.

Lauds Work on Road :

Senator Walgren praised progress of construction of the new Alaskan highway. “It is a wonderful route,” he said, “and the Pacific Northwest must ‘| realize it is a military necessity for supply and protection of aerial transport bases. Undoubtedly a { commercial highway will be built later.” The senators flew over the highway route and made several stops

And They Never Want to Again

CLEARFIELD, Pa., Aug. 19 (U. P.).—The highway workers didn’t know what was coming at them so they swung their shovels. Their ‘victim was a 5%-foot alligator, believed to have fallen from a carnival truck while en route! through here Sunday night. The workers spied the alligator in a ditch along Highway 322. When they stopped their truck and got out, the alligator started toward them. They killed it with several shovel blows. The men professed they “never saw an alligator before.”

He stopped at a South African work shop beside a fig grove and asked a sergeant what the figs were like. “They're grand tasting, sergeant said.
