Delayed Telegraph News
Jap Peril In
Aleutians Is
Least Pressing
NEW YORK. July 23 .VP) — D<>
Witt MacKonzie. AP and Wid.
World war analyst had this to
say' today, interpreting the situa
tion in Alaska:
“Public concern over the con
tinued Jap occupation in the Al
eutians appears to have, mounted
rapidly in the past few days and
increasingly one hoars the ques
tion of just why is it that the
invaders of American soil have
n’t been evicted. There is grow
ing anxiety, undoubtedly stimu
lated by the knowledge that the
’ Nipponese occupation of Aleu
1 tian bases not only threatens A!
aska but intimately is connected
with the possibility of an air at-.
tack against Russian Siberia.
‘ Well, there’s certainly an ans-j
swor for the continued presence
of the enemy at Attu, Kiska, and 1
Agattu, but I doubt if it is what
the reader will expect. One well
known reason ls that the wea- |
ther in the Aleutians is about as j
filthy as one can find it. It has
been bad lately, however, I be
lieve a more vital reason why we 1
haven't taken stronger action is
that we simply haven’t had the
naval forces to spare. Now the
Navy can’t expecte to undertake
j a mission with a handful of ships j
for a job that calls for a very
considerable force.
“Thus far, we haven’t been ;
able, or so I believe, to mass
enough ships for the operation.,
Still, that it should cause public
surprise, we possess enough ships
all right, but they are spread out ;
■ over the seven seas performing
' mighty tasks to keep the wheels 1
of the Allied war machine turn- j
mg. Why don’t we call in some '
of these ships and clean out the
Aleutians? Presumably because, !
while the authorities, fully recog ;
nize the danger of Jap occupa- '
tion. that danger is less pressing
than other perils that have to be
met. Should an emergency devel ;
j op in the Aleutians, undoubtedly |
we will see Navy action fast j
enough.”

Russia Faced
$ith Gravest
Crisis of ^Xar
MOSCOW, June 23 oT’) — Rus
. s:a faced her. gravest crisis ini
the German-Russian war as Nazi,
armored columns c’osed in, in'
the second battle of Rostov and1
speared anew toward Stalingrad,
and pressed upon the lower Dm
between those cities in an eff rt
to isolate the Caucasus. Not
since the Mongols had driven in- '
to southern Russia 562 years ago,
has there been such a threat to j
the military security of the na- |
tion.
Observers said the Red Army
fought bitterlyto stem the inva
s n tide, aware that the Ger
mans, more than half way along
the drives, might split the Rus-!
sian’s southern and trans-Caucas j
ian commands. Rostov was men
aced on three sides: at Novocher '
kassk, 20 miles northeast of the j
city; from the north by a large |
force including Italians striking
at Voroshilovgrad: and from the ;
west by Axis divisions which win
tered at Tagprcg 40 miles away, j
Similarly a 3-direetional thrust j
developed against Stalingrad, 250 ;
miles by air northeast of Rostov.
The central and most advanced 1
column is astride the Stalingrad
Likhaya railway line, slightly
more than a hundred miles west
of the Volga c:ty.

Japs Make First
Thrust Australia
Since Coral Sea
MacArthur’s Headquarters in
Australia. June 23 (/P)—The Japs,
in their first aggressive thrust at
Australia since the Coral Sea de
feat, gained a new foothold on !
the southeast New Guinea coast, I
100 miles across from the vital j
American and Australian garri
soned Allied outpost of Port Mar
esbv. Under a terrific bombing
and strafing assault by Allied
planes, the enemy put ashore a i
force of between 1500 and 2500i
troops, Wednesday, at Gona Mis-;
sion. near Buna on the Papuan !
Peninsula coast 150 miles south- j
east of Jap-held Salamua. Mac-1
Arthur's headquarters announc
ed the landing was in an area ;
where they were no Allied fore j
es and cost the Japs heavily. A j
large transport and landing I
barge were sunk and a seaplane i
downed. The Allies lost two fight
ers.
