“In a Fortress Over Kiska, Lives to Tell It.

BOMBER COMMAND HEAD-| QUARTERS IN THE ALEUTIAN},

ISLANDS, Oct. 10 = (Delayed)— Hedgehopping in a flying fortress is a thrill, all right, especially when the hedges are Aleutian crags and

‘yoleanic peaks.

But you don’t worry about such matters when you are being shot at by all the anti-aircraft guns on Kiska island and the main target lies just over the next jagged ridge. You reflect that the hedgehopping, absurdly hazardous as it might geem in ordinary circumstances, is the best type of evasive action, You are pursuing this somewhat academic line of thought when, suddenly, your pilot tugs her up over that ridge by the skin of her teeth, and there's the target.

QUICK TO oor

In Restraint by Commanders.

By GEORGE WELLER

SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA, Nov. 3.—Reports from Java statel that there is a wide degree of difference between the behavior of Japanese officers and rank and file soldiery toward Dutch civilians remaining upon that island. Soldiers of the ranks are ready to loot upon any occasion, but officers make apparently - genuine efforts to dissuade them from doing so, saying that such behavior is contrary to “peace and prosperity in the greater East Asia progr Several cases have been reported of Jap soldiers halting Dutch women on the street and stripping them of rings and other valuables. - Dutch women Who refused to surrender their valuables are said to have been shot. -Heed Complaints

‘However, - when complaints : were |

commanders took steps to halt such| looting. It was evident. that i they were allowed. to. continue this pillaging it would make an unhappy resemblance to looting of Chinese

Today's War Moves

Sensitive altimeters aren't very gensitive under these conditions. By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent

Actually, we were a good 75 feet above the hangar roofs. That was HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 3.— Errol Flynn received a one-day respite

* Just about whete we let go with our incendiaries and demolition bombs. More flying fortresses were in our formation—nearly wingtip to wing-

tip—and they let go at the same time.

- You don’t miss at 75 feet. You

gan’t. Immediately after the release, we banked sharply to the right and flew due west across the narrow neck of land in back of Kiska har&or. - There's a narrow pass across this neck, and we hugged the very bottom of the valley. Our wingtips all but brushed the tundra-clad walls of the pass. Ack-ack persisted heavily; ‘Wants a Good Look

But once through to the sea at _ the western terminus of the depression, we began to climb, and Maj. Dunlap pulled her up in a gentle turn, swinging in a wide arc back across -the north-end of the island. We had run out-of ack-ack at last, and nobody in the plane had been _ hit. 'Momentarily, we were on an “eastern course, but the major kept her swinging, straight back to the camp. “Going home now, aren’t we?” I hopefully suggested. < His lips were set in a thin line. “Hell” he said, “I'm going to have # good look at this.” + We got a good. look. It was even rth ‘being ‘shot ‘at some more. There may have been 40 fires burning, or 50. To me, it all looked like big fire, It didn’t seem to be fined to ‘@ny one part of the eamp, either. * It was as if the whole place had been: ‘touched off, When the smoke pall started to push up it was black od smudgy, like an oil fire. Then faded ‘and got lighter and lighter until, in a minute or two, it was white, like steam, - We were 800 or feet high by this time and the Op of the smoke blanket was a litabove us.

Fighters Play Tag

* Don: was satisfied, then. He fooked: across and caught the eye of his co-pilot, Capt. Lucien “Luke” Wernick, and then they both looked gound at me and the three of us grinned like collie dogs, We were geally heading for home, now, and the other fortresses were still flying rmation with ‘us, still almost wingtip to wingtip. : We'd maintained that close formation all through the show, except for the brief and nasty interval in the pass, when there wasn’t room our bombers to fly a V, and we to go single file. ~ Behind us our P-38 twin-engined fighters were still playing a deadly tag game, swooping down to strafe the AA batteries tnd machine-gun emplacements. They had orders ‘Bot to waste ammunition nn individual Japs, but. if a few Japs got in the ‘way the fighters certainly Gotti be blamed for ‘rubbing them out. * That wasn’t what our fighters were really hanging back for, _ though. they were® just hoping the five or six Jap zero float fighters, hich we’d seen in the harbor as we eame in, would get up and’ show t. ‘But the Japs have learned Bot to fight P-38's with float zeros, _ and 36: has heen an expensive les-

[tial reaction £0 Miss Hansen's story:

for movie heroics today between charges by a pair of 17-year-old beauties that he had intimate relations with them. Yesterday Flynn listened to blond Betty Hansen tell of alleged intimacy with him in a Bel Air mansion. } Today he makes movie love to Ann Sheridan. Tomorrow he returns to court to hear Peggy Satterlee, a dark-eyed youngster with her black hair in pig tails and blue ribbons, tell of being intimate twice with him, once on the way to Catalina island aboard his yacht and once on the way back. Flynn's preliminary hearing, at which most of the testimony to date has had to be expurgated for print, was interrupted for a day to give all participants except the accusers, who were too young, an opportunity to vote. Horrible Lie, Says Errol

The first session ended with Flynn's lawyer, Jerry Geisler, getting into the record his client’s ini-

“It’s all & horrible lie,” Flynn said, according to his lawyer, one of the best known criminal attorneys in the West, Lie or not, herr tale made breathtaking listening to the crowds of fans, mostly young women, who jammed. Judge Byron J, Walter's court, Police Lieut, R. W. Bolling, attached to the juvenile detail, told of going to Flynn's hilltop mansion to serve him with a warrant. Bolling said he took with him Armand Knapp, Warner Brothers studio clerk, who had introduced Miss Hansen to Flynn,

‘Choked on His Coffee’

“Mr. Flynn was very cordial,” testified - Officer Bolling. “He offered us whisky, We said ‘no thanks.’ He offered us coffee. We said ‘no thanks.’ So he ordered some coffee for himself. He was drinking it, when he asked what the charges were. I told him. “And he choked on his coffee, “He said he didn’t remember Miss Hansen, Knapp said, ‘yes, the little blond.’ “‘Oh yeah,’ Flynn replied, ‘that

little washed-out blond.”

The German forces are concen-| trated in a gap about 40 miles wide between the sea and the Qattara Depression. Rommell has had time to prepare defenses in depth, consisting of tank traps, mine fields, barbed wire and artillery emplacements, The strong axis outer defenses probably are five miles or more in depth. Behind them probably are fortified strong points supparting each other with cross and enfilading fire and extending a considerable distance westward into the desert.

To meet this problem of making a frontal assault on strong positions, Gen. B. L. Montgomery, British commander, developed a special technique. The battle so far has been more like the trench warfare of the last war. The ‘main British armored forces were held back and the preliminary fighting has been a massive, co-or-dinated: attack of infantry, artillery and airplanes. The infantry has

‘borne the Brunt of the- fighting,

aided by intensive artillery barrages, while the air force maintained ‘its supremacy and did heavy damage to the enemy. Today’s news from the desert indicates that the main British armor now has gone into action. If so, it suggests a definite and fairly wide break through, probably in the coastal region near Sidi Abd el Rahman.
