According to the sheriffs, when the men refused to pay their bill for $5.75, Mr. Baker brought out a shotgun. Mr. Brosnan and a companion hurtled the lunch counter, tock the gun away from Mr. Baker and held him while several of the party beat him.

Whatever the reason for the silence, it was considered significant that all Aleutians news should be halted after a month of the most intensive kind of aerial operations. During July, American airmen raided Kiska 61 times while warships bombarded it eight times. There was little or nothing to support the view that the Japanese may make a new invasion of the Aleutians. Tokyo radio said yesterday that the Japanese were preparing to take the offensive in the Pacific. Naval experts said it was possible the Japanese might undertake an operation in the Aleutians in order to divert American naval strength from the Southwest Pacific. If the American command in the Aleutians had reason to believe that the Japanese were planning to strike there, it probably would conserve its air strength in the area to meet any seaborne threat, the experts said.

JAPANESE CONFER

By UNITED PRESS The Tokyo radio reported that Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu discussed the war situation with the German and Italian ambassadors foday at the same time that an important axis military conference was taking place in northern Italy. Shigemitsu received Dr. Otto Stahmer, German ambassador, and Mario Indelli, Italian representative, at his official residence, according to the Japanese broadcast recorded by U, S. government monitors. Tokyo said that the axis conferees in Italy included German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Italian Foreign Minister Raffaele Guariglia, Gen Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the Nazi general staff, and
