Pa ferns For Sabotage
NEW YORK — Pictures made and released by The First Air
Force, whi ;h show patterns for sabotage as they appeared when
uncovered and nullified bv our aerial observers. Tie unusual
"‘signposts” were created by would-be saboteurs to point out an
important plane factory in one instance and an air base in the
other rl he tail of the figure ”9” in the top picture, points right at
the plane factory and is made up of grain sacks presumably strewn
haphazardly on the ground. The arrow (center) was created by a
plow and points to an air base. No better markers could be had
by an enemy pilot. The 0-47 observation ship shown below is the
type used for aerial detection work of this nature. Its crew is pilot,
gunner and photographer.
Senator Reports
San Francisco (A?)—Senator
Chandler said that the mititary
situation in Alaska and the A
leutiaus is serious but encourag
ing.
“It will continue to be serious
as long as the Japs are at Kiska,
but I feel a lot better about it
then I did when I left iwo
weeks ago. I was altymed then
and afraid that full considera
tion hadn’t be n given the mil
itary dangers of having the Japs
in the Aleutians, but I’m encour
aged now.”
He said the Senate Militar}'
Affairs subcommittee “saw ev
erything of interest in a military
way. We got as far as Umnak
and were flown as far in the
direction of Kiska as anyone ex
cept actual combatants could
hope to get. We got out in tho
dirt, slept in barracks, ate. in
mess halls with the boys who
are up at the front. We found
they all had hands on their trig
gers ready to shoot, and boy caa
they shoot.”
