WASHINGTON—No one said anything about it at the time, but several weeks ago relations were so strained over non-delivery Of | planes to China that the Chinese dropped veiled threats about get- ting out of the United Nations. This was because bombing planes, time after time, were promised, | then never delivered. | Now, however, the White House has received & very encouraging report that all this has changed. Sentiment in China is entirely different. Chinese merchants and | the war-wearied propertied class | which previously wanted peace with Japan now are singing a. differ- ent tune. Reason is the change in the “air.” Last year Chinese offi~ cials in Chungking practically lived underground. The capital was raid- ed daily. Government business had to be conducted in bomb shelters. But this year Chungking hasn't been’ bombed at all. 1 The Chinese attribute this large- | ly to the American Air Force un- | der the, amazing trio of flying fighters, General Claire Chennault, | Brigadier General Caleb Haynes | and Col. Robert L. Scott. ‘The White House has received a glowing report on these men, to- gether with an urgent request that‘ they receive more equipment. With | more planes, it has been urged, Chennault’s men could make mincemeat of the Japs. As it is,l (Continued on Page Four) BOX SCORE A. L. CHIEF ST. LOUK Brown, 2b. Moore, cf. Slaughter, rf.

President Roosevelt said today that the Gov- ernment will “do everything it can to see that products available for civilian needs will be allocated in an orderly and equitable fashion.” The statement of the President was read at the Boston conference on Distribution of the National Forum of Distributors. He said: “It is essential that those whose obligation it is to provide the mechanics by means of which the products of our farms and factories reach the consumer, seek every way possible to expedite the free flow of goods.” W When the Nazi bombers brought war to Holland on May 10, 1940, they shattered a peace unbroken for more than one hundred years verhauled On Seledlive Service BY JACK STINNETT WASHINGTON, Oct. 5—If you are on the uncalled selective serv- ice roles or have relatives or the best thing |you can do at the moment is not let the smoke screen of confusion get you down.

The ambassadors are expected to seek some explanation of some of the phrases of the letter. The main issue appears to be whether the crfation of a Second Front in 1942 is generally held by the Russians as an Allied obligation and should so be considered by the governments involved. In diplomatic quarters, the letter is considered an important devel opment bringing into the open the apparent differences of views in the Allied capitals.

The Navy Department has announced that U. 8. Army troops and air units, with supporting naval forces, have moved to advanced bases in the mid- Aleutian Islands to place themselves in a better position to attack the Jap-held bases at the western tip of the smoky island chain. The latest move, said the Navy, | has reduced by at least 250 nautical miles the bombing distance to the Jap camp at Kiska, compared to the distance from Dutch Harbor. The communique said: “United States Army troops, cov- ered and supported by units of the U. 8. Navy, recently occupled posi- |tions in the Andreanof Islands in the Aleutians. “The occupation was effected without enemy opposition. Aircraft, including B-24 and B-17 bombers, P-38, P-39°and P-40 pursuit planes, now are operating from airfields on these islands. “On September 29, an enemy cargo ship which was attacked northwest of Kiska on the 28th was again bombed and strafed with no op- position by enemy aircraft. The ship appeared to have been abandoned on September 30. “In the face of considerable anti- aircraft opposition, Army Consoli- dated B-24 bombers struck at ships |in the harbor at Kiska and an en- emy transport was set afire with two direct hits. The camp area also was bombed and several fires result- ed. All of our planes returned safely.” MAKE DAILY RAIDS WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. — The Navy Department said today that Army bombers operating from new bases in the Aleutians are making almost daily raids on the Japs at Kiska and Priday downed five en- emy seaplanes, The communique says that Thurs- day and Friday a large number of hits by demolition and incendiery bombs were scored on the enemy at Kiska and a seaplane hangar there.

The Navy Department now reporti more than 38 Jap ships sunk or damaged in the Aleutians. .- OUR TROOPS MOVE INTO ALEUTIANS Correspohdénl Tells of Huge Convoy Estab- lishing Base BY WILLIAM WORDEN (Associated Press Correspondent) .
