LUCAS, Mnyor | ! | adv. | | ->>o I(EITHAHH HAS STORY INALASKA SPORTSMAN More evidence on the long-dis- puted question of whether or not wolves will attack human beings is presented by Barney Mulvany, | whose experience last winter in inorthern British Columbia con- {vinced him that only chance saved 'him from learning the final answer too late to tell it to the debating Mulvany’s story, “The Wolves Almost Got Me,” printed in the May issue of The Alaska éporcs- man, tells of a cold morning he dle of a lake, surrounded by four- teen expectant wolves. They made |frequent efforts to #tack, but sprawled on the slippery ice and Mulvany isn't taking chances of “My Day—In An Eskimo Vil- lage” is Robert Inman’s very read- |able account of the activities and| |incidents that made up his busy day as general factotum in the little village of Koyuk. | ‘eatured in the May issue, too,| known story of the Lincoln totem pole, humble tribute of a harried slaves, as well, from their oppres- Sors.

The position of the Jap force was believed just inside airplane range, and against a 35- to 40~knot |wind, the planes failed to locate |the convoy within flying range, and after Kiska was closed over by fog, the U. 8. pilots were forced to re- turn home without dropping a bomb after eight hours of flying. They just beat 4 snowstorm to their base by 10 minutes. Many Workers More than a half-mile’ in length; the Kiska runway is built on a ridge by eut and fill methods. Using bulldozers and -light trucks alohg with hand carts, picks and shovels, hundreds of Jap workers are mov- |ing some 1,500 cubic yards daily. Large buildings near the bottom of the fill apparently house rum- way equipment. The workers live in huts in a valley a half-mile away. The hangar, when the - time comes, could be hit in a deep cut from which the fill is being built today. Near the runway, foxholes and trenches .line the east and south- east ends of the runway building. The land field seems to be a re- vision of earlier plans by the Japs for using seaplanes, apparently after' the American bombers wrecked one of the hangars on the beach and blew up the foundations for a third. Ready By Easter? This Kiska field, it is estimated by one officer who flew over the job, will be in operation about Easter time. The 'Attu construction, probably begun about March 1, is taken as an indication that the Japs are strengthening - their air defenses along the northern approach line,}" |perhaps a&s far back as Tokyo: Attu was abandoned, according to a naval communique in the mid- dle of September, but a small force of about 100 Japs remained and was reinforced late last year. The first Attu force moved to Kiska to counter the increased power of the United States in the Andrean- ofs. The main runway at Attu begins a hundred yards up the east arm THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA TWENTY-FOUR ARRIVE.
