Three times this morning they counterattacked in a shoulder-to-shoulder line, scream- ing hoarsely as they came forward, falling in unbroken rows before our tank guns. This is what the enemy used to call “psychological attack’ in Russia. Here it is sheer hysteri- cal suicide. It is not all this way. of course Two of our medium tanks have heen hit by German anti-tank guns. Two of our men struggle from one burning tank. They collect them- selves, look around and run back to pull out two more comrades The fifth is lost there in the tank Our ambulances are roaring back now from the center of town, and just to the left of where I stand two of our dead lie under blankets against a stone whitewashed fence, for there has been no time yet to remove them. - BURDICK TO KETCHIKAN Charles Burdick, General Man- ager of the Alaska Spruce Log Pro- gram, flew to Ketchikan and Edna Bay on official business. pected to be away about 10 days He is ex- | AWVS T0 HOLD MEETING 'WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON for the Coast Guard dance September 23, at which time members of the American Women's Services will 1t service will be discussed Wednesady's meeting, scheduled o'clock at the Governor's Pl luntary House Donations of for servicemen at posts in the Aleutians, ceived at this time SAM CHRISTENSEN, ALASKA PIONEER, homemade cookies the remote out- will be re- EXPIRES SUNDAY |z s one of Juneau's passed away Sam Chr known citizens, bes vesterday Twelfth and F.

Brown in “CHATTERBOX" September 20th and 21st Sponsored by the Juneau Fire Department recently completed a record of 55,000 flights over the famous Main Line Airway between Pacific Coast cities and New York. First'to blaze a direct transcontinental route, from Seattle, Vancouver, B. C., and other coast ports, first to pio- neer air service from Seattle to San Diego, United has achieved an unmatched goal of 275 mil- lion miles’ flying experience. We’relooking ahead. Through an application recently filed with the Civil *Aeronautics Board, United seeks authority to offer the Territory of Alaska the ad- vantages of Mainliner Service. If its application is granted, Anchorage, Yakutat, Juneau and Ketchikan will have through service to Seattle...thence south and eastward over United’s nationwide system. At YaxgTat work centering there from the West, South and North; at Juneau, the lines from the West and North. Today, United’s objective is to do its share in a tremendous war job. In addition to conduct- ing its Coast-to-Coast and Bor- der-to-Border domestic airmail- passenger-express services, United personnel, flying for the Air Transport Command, have operated hundreds of flights from the U. S. to Alaska. In postwar days, expanding Alaska and the West will need more and faster air transporta- tion. United is therefore look- ing to the future, preparing yet finer Mainliner service with which we hope to serve the Territory of Alaska.
