ATU WOUNDED READY FOR MORE

Yanks Eager to ot Bott

“In Fight After Their Victory.

- ABOARD A SPECIAL MEDICAL TRAIN EN ROUTE TO A NORTHWEST HOSPITAL, June 2 (U. P.). (Delayed) —Some had been picked off by unseen enemy snipers, a few had suffered bayonet wounds in desperate hand-to-hand fights, and the extreme cold of the Aleutians had frozen the limbs of others, but no one talking with these casualties from the Attu battlefield would doubt their eagerness for more Jap fighting. Aboard _ the half-dozen train coaches loaded with wounded from the first waves of the Attu attack army nurses and officers expressed surprise at the men’s cheerfulness and optimism despite their wounds. “I have never seen a group of wounded or well with higher morale,” said Mrs. Leif C. Buschmann, & nurse on the train.

Drew Enemy Fire

These are the men who pushed ashore to establish beachheads so thé. main body of troops could land safely. They are men like 2d Lt. Thomas L. McCarthy, 35, Omaha, | Neb,, who led a ‘commando party behind Jap positions to draw enemy fire while other troops landed. There is Sgt. Lawrence Bradley, 86, Alta Vista, Kas, who was wounded by a. mortar burst half way up a mountain being taken from the Japs. One of the most cheerful among the wounded is Elizah Petonquot, 24, a full-blooded Chippewa Indian from the reservation on Bark river in Michigan.

Slid on Pants

Lt. McCarthy and his commandos erept around behind the Jap emplacements at one end of a horse-shoe-shaped valley. “We got to the top of a ridge, then slid down on the ice on our pants, 40 miles an hours through

fog, carrying our weapons over. our

heads,” he said. “Our mission was to confuse the enemy, and we did. “The Japs in desperation. cut loose at us with anti-aircraft fire used in a new way, firing down from the ridges with charges set to go off 12 feet above the ground. My outfit was 25 per cent casualties— not all killed, of course. “It took us five days to go that four-fifths of a mile toward the sea until we met the main party comoe 2 up. That's how tough it was.” Bradley, sitting in a winens medical corps bathrobe, said the Jap soldiers on Attu were bigger than any Japanese he had ever seen before. “I think they weighed around 170 or 180 pounds,” he said.

For more than 50 years Andrew Furuseth championed federal legislation aimed to give rights to merchant seamen. This bust of Furuseth, by Jo Davidson, has been unveiled in United Seamen’s Service club, New York City.

OLD LICENSES

Collection of Front. Plates By OCD Driver’s Corps Starts Today.

Boy. Scouts started to work today to count and prepare for shipment the front license plates that have| been contributed by local motorists for the past several weeks. Supervision of the work is in the hands of Glenn Finley, a member of the Scout advisory board of Indianapolis. After the plates have been prepared, trucks from the state highway commission will pick them up and take them to the Greenfield district headquarters. From there the plates will be taken by state prison trucks to Michigan City for processing.

Appeal Made

An appeal was made by civilian defense officials for all persons to turn in their old license plates at the nearest filling station at once. Members of the O, C. D. driver's corps began to pick up plates today from the filling stations. Th corps is under the supervision oF Mrs. Chauncey Eno and Mrs. Richard Wall. Trucks for the collection were recruited by Mrs. Ralph Wurz. In compliance with a request made by Gov. Schricker, state and city police continued to stop motorists and ask them to remove their front plates. All filling stations and garages having plates that are to be picked up are ryquested to call the telephone answering service of the salvage divi-|| sion at Market 3321. Semee—————————

JAPS TRY TO START U. S. BUYING PANIC

By UNITED PRESS A Tokyo broadcast yesterday urged U. 8. civilians to stock up immediately on enough clothing for 50 years. The broadcast, recorded by United Press at San Francisco, evidently was a feeble propaganda effort to create a buying panic in the U. S. “Your government claims this is going to be a long, long war,” the Tokyo announcer said. “Maybe it will last 100 years and the production of war goods will leave no room to meet the demands of peaceful industries. “It doesn’t matter what it is—it’s best to buy anything and everything in the way of clothing right now. Stock up before it’s too late. Surely, money won't pass when ‘there's
