I am told that Mr. Flet- cher made the statement just be- fore leaving Unalaska: “Boy, the story I will tell of what I saw, with all that I can add to it, will be ‘terrific’ . The people of Unalaska regard Mr. Fletcher no less than one re- gards a captain of a vessel who-be- lieving his ship is sinking, deserts her with all of his crew and pass- engers still aboard. And, when there followed weeks of no further enemy raids and the “ship” did not sink, he excitedly wired from Seattle to each of the six councilmen, urging them to have instituted at once proceedings to disincorporate the city. Very much like the deserting captain, who found his ship did not sink alter all, returns to scuttle her to save his face. (. .. . Deleted by Postal Censor . . . .) In the newspapers of July 17th, Mr. Fletcher is quoted as intimating the military forces here are lying down on their duty to get the Japs off Kiska and Attu Islands. This, most eertainly, is an ynwarranted and unjustified statement. Both our army and navy are right on the job; ithey have been rigl)t on tke ob ever since the Japs landed on these islands; and from my observation as| a civilian and from available in- formation I can get, all the head-| way that it is possible is being made to oust the enemy. Both the‘ personnel of the army and navy, every day that weather permits, are doing a big,.fine job; there is complete coordination between; them; and the brave fellows in both | branches of the armed forces are‘ together winning out.

DRAMATIC ACTION FILM IS SHOWING AT 20TH CENTURY "Bad Men of Missouri” Produced by ""Oodge City"” Makers dio that produced “Dodge irginia City” and “‘Santa Fe Trail” has now added a new and exciting film to that impressive roster. More intense than any of those three pictures, Warner Bros.' “Bad Men of Missouri,” which had its first local showing at the 20th Century Theatre Sunday, kept the audience thrilled throughout the entire showing. Dramatic excitement is the key- note of this film which tells the story of the terrible, yet benevo- lent, Younger brothers, who burned the trails of the west during the 1870's. It is a bullet-splashed saga of America’s untamed frontier, and of the bad men who made Missouri great, The bandit brothers are realis- tically portrayed by Dennis Mor- gan, Wayne Morris and Arthur Kennedy. Authentic in dress, speech and mannerisms, these men actu- ally make the Younger brothers live again. They are a tough trio, staging holdup after holdup, rob- bing train, bank and stagecoach with a careless abandon that made even the James brothers seem mild by comparison with the Youngers.
