And today, the Navy announced that big American bombers blasted Kiska seven times Saturday, bring- ing to 16 the number of separate attacks in only three raids. The Saturday forays started large fires in the camp area and damaged important anti-aircraft gun em- placements. Heavy and medium bombers were escorted by swift fighting planes. Little resistance was seen during the assaults, indicating the enemy garrison may already be feeling the pinch of the Attu blockade. Naval observers expressed the be- lief United Sfates fortes are under- taking a renewed campaign to im- mobilize the Kiska garrison as a prelude to landing operations. The Friday and Saturday raids followed three air attacks on Thursday. e A person is talier when he awakens in the morning than when he goes to bed at night The Washlngton Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert 8. Allen on active duty.) WASHINGTON.—It is no secret that today's biggest worry among highup officials is Russia’s reac- tion to current Allied strategy and the delay in establishing a Second | Front in Western Europe. For 18 solid months Stalin has been requesting an Allied invasion straight across the English chan-, nel to the heart of ‘the enemy. He | has never been too sympathetic with = opetations in ranean, has regarded them as de- tours, has pointed out that the job of an army was to engage the enemy and that the way to en zage the bulk of the Nazi army was by an attack in France, not by lighting Italians and six or eight divisions of the Afrika Corps. | When Stalin has been reminded | of the tremendous losses sure to] result from bucking . the bristling | zuns and hidden mines Hitler has placed along the French coast, hre has pointed to the millions of Rus- sians lost in battle. Therefore, it takes no mind- reader or even ‘astute Ambassador Joseph E. Davies to know that our present “peculiar amphibious oper- ations” in the Mediterranean must get a sour reaction inside the Kremlin. Moreover, it needs no report from Joe Davies to guess that this sour- ness is sure to be taken out chief- ly against the British. Real fact is that Stalin has never trusted Churchill. He also remembers the old Cliveden Set proposals that Germany be encouraged to attack Russia, ‘'so the two countries could bleed each other white. So - naturally, suspicion must linger that the British would like, to see Germany and Russia con- tinue bearing the main brunt of battle, both weakening each other and leaving the British in a posi tion to follow their traditional poli- cy of holding the balance of power after the war is over. That is why recent conferences between Foreign Minister Molotoff and the Jap Ambassador in Mos- (Continued on Page Four) J [ » & % i BREAKFAST IS SERVED at Holtz Bay on Attu after annihilating its Jap defenders, gather Note shell pocks in the piain at the rear.
