1 panic by which hatred might be stirred up against the German ag- gressors" and the last scruples of the English public against the new encirclement policy might be over come" the newspaper said.
 "We have no doubt that this was not an oversight or a carless sur render of national secret by Lord Stanhope but something that was planned and managed"
 The Deutsche Allegemeinezeitung said that "the Englishman's habit of seeing ghsots is known and clever statesmanship is gland to use 1t as means of stupefying the people"
 Nazi sources meanwhile vigorous ly denied any extraordinary German troop movements.
 One spokesman blamed reports ot troop movements on a press cam- paign to forward the British "en- circlement" program against er- many.
 Newspapers commenting on the explosion of bomb ill front of the German embassy at Santiago, Chile. intimated strongly that anti-Ger- man propaganda from the north was responsible, and one, the B.-Z.-Am- Mittag, directly mentioned the United States.
 Bombs from the United States are a gift against which South Am erica must correspondingly protest itself" the newspaper said.
 It saw dark portents in the fact that American news agencies were first to report the bombing.
 First News of Bombing
 Strangely enough the first re- rort of the bombing was spread by North American agency, said the newspaper. That certainly was not simply journalistic speed. More than one sign indicates much more-that this is new and shocking fruit ot the hate campaign against the au- thoritarian states, which is being systematically carried on from the North, from the United States-ano in most recent times, as ie well known, direct from Washington"
 The publication diplomat1c-polit- ical correspondence, regarded as ar agencw of the foreign office, led ar increasingly bitter press attack or Great Britain.
 British Circle of Cannon
 Charging that Britain was trying to form circle of cannon around Germany, the publication said that no question of self defense was in- volved in Britain's campaign but that this is the activity of a cer. tain power whose aim is not only to draw third parties away iron Germany but to form unified from of enemies against Germany"
 The Voelkischap Beobachter, of. ficial newspaper organ of the Nag party, published a caption which depicted Prime Minister Nevill, Chamberlain holding his famou. umbrella over bedraggled Polt while Kurt Schnschnigg of Austria Emepror Halle Selassie of Ethiopia and Edouard Benes of Czecho. slovakia looked on, dripping witt rain. The caption was: You may not believe it, but we all got wet. Point was added by the headlin, over the cartoon, British Protec tion," because the German wore "schirm" means both umbrella ant protection.

to the trial. He added that Will liamson had testified in connection with other Investigations "in- vestigations which at the present time I am not prepared to say are completed"
 It was suggested that Judge Ing lis scrutinize Williamsons grand jury testimony and determine what matters should be revealed.
 Murray Argues
 Attorney Murray stated, in argu- ing for the minutes. The same situation prevailed in the Levy case where MT. Alcorn said MT. Levy strengthened out his testimony in the grand jury minutes. He had committed perjury in one way or another, and it appears now that this witness has done the same thing and I think the jury is en- titled to know il"
 Judge Inglis excused the jury and defendants for the day at 2:35, with the intention of segregating the Williamson testimony. More than 400 pages of testimony are includ- ed. Defense counsel remained at

terbury in connection with the case against Phillips.
 Armed With Subpocnas
 He said that the inspectors are armed with subpoenas and that they will have the, right to seize records as they see fit. They will question stockholders who have purchased McKesson and Robbins stock from the Phillips company and have the power to interrogate officers of the firm.
 MT. Kaufman also said that other postal inspectors have been assigned to New Haven and to Bridgeport, where they will investigate all as- poets of the 10 counts of mail fraud and SEC violations charged against the nine defendants, who include Horace B. Merwin, president of the Bridgeport City Trust Co.
 First to Finance Coster
 The Bridgeport banker and the Waterbury broker, charged with conspiracy dating to January, 1925, in the indictment on which they were arraigned today, wer the first to finance the late F. Donald Cos- ter-Philip Musica when the arch- swindler and ex-convict operated the Girard O., a hair tonic concern, at Bridgeport fifteen years ago. Thereafter, there were several stock issues of the McKesson & Robbins Canadian and Maryland companies and several hundred thousands dollars worth of the stock was sold in Waterbury and vicinity.
 MT. Kaufman continued reticent regarding connection of the postal inspectors presence in Connecticut with the elaboration of the investi- gation which would result in calling a special grand jury here. He re- ferred the question to MT. Cahill, who, yestedyay, said that he had no comment, indicating by his failure to deny the matter that considera- tion is being given the proposal.
 As was the case in the pending indictment at New York, the postal inspectors here are expected to ques- tion only a few of the many local stockholders in McKesson & Rob- bins. But their holding of power of subpoena indicated that their investigation will not be confined to stockholders and that a number of persons interested in the affairs of the company which handled the stock issues here, in Bridgeport and New Haven.
 Asked how many postal inspec- tors have been assigned to the Wa terbury investigation, MT. Kaufman said he understood about five or six. Information obtained elsewhere was to the effect that about 20 in- spectors have been assigned to the various sections of the state where the government will seek rarnifica- tions of the case against the nine defendants which supersedes all other charges concerning the Me- Kesson 6 Robbins affair.

 The German pocket battleship Deutschland sup plies the most spectacular engagement of the war in her destruction of the British merchant cruiser that the Deutschland has not been successful in marrying British shipping. She and at least one or two sister ships have been at large since the war began. They are faster and heavily armed than all except scant half dozen of the ships Britain and France are able to send against her.
 But in all this time the Deutschland, prior to her fight with the Rawapindi, has sunk only two ships, both rather small freighters, and captured the American cargo liner City of Flint.
 The Flint proved too hot to handle There can be little doubt that Berlin ordered her surrender and probably sent to the Deutschland's commander a message similar to the famous Jeff-to Mutt exhortation for the love of Pete, discretion
 The Deutschland and her sisters were designed for high-pressure commerce raiding They have speed long cruising range and eleyen-inch guns. That they have apparently been able to accomplish so little is strong testimonial to the efficacy of the British convoy system.
 The Rawalpindi helpless against the Deutschland thin-skinned passenger liner, she mounted six-inch guns, throwing 100-pound shells, against the O-pound projectes from the Deutsch- lands eleven-nch rifles. The Rawalpindi could have surrendered with honor. But that is not the British way. crisp paragraph from the admiralty tells the story: The Rawalpindi maintained action until every gun had been put out of action and the whole ship was abaze, except the forecastle poop"
 The gallant cruiser and her company mostly young naval reservsts, are gone But they merit salute from the spirits of Frobisher, Hawkins and Nelson.

 Bangs disease has been known over 400 years and is more or less prevalent all over the world. It's first cousin undulant fever remains unique in medical history, in that it undoubtedly existed for centuries along the shores of the Mediterranean without attracting attention to itself until the latter part of the 18th century when it localized upon he Isle of Malta in such dramatic fashion as to demand scientific investigation. Ever since it has been commonly designated at Malta fever. From the spleen of of hundreds of British soldiers on Malta who were stricken by the mysterious mal- ady Sir David Bruce in 1886 obtained and identified an organism which was found to be present also in goats of the island The disease found to be transmitted in goats milk. Later in other parts of the world COWS became suspect and proven equally guilty.
 Pasteurizaton is the one sure preventive to a spread of unduant fever in Alaska Compulsory pasteurzation is not ordinarily required by large units of government because of the hardship such an order would work on small communities which do not have pasteurzation plants The Province of Ontario, however, passed a compulsory act in 1888 and it's results have proven lesson to the world. In actual practice under the Ontario conditions there has been no record of any milk borne disease. Before the law was passed there were hundreds, many of them fatal
 Juneau, with pasteurization facilities at hand and with the recent close home example furnished by the Ketchikan outbreak, should waste no time in requiring compulsory pasteurizaton of all milk sold in the City.

LET'S PASTEURIZE

se Five persons under physicians care at Ket- chikan with of undulant fever, infectious fever which seldom fatal but which incapactates Its victims for long a year in each case. The term "unduant" descriptive of this fever, which is characterized by wave-like fluctuation in the intensity or it's symptoms among which may be snoted the early appearance of arthritis, profuse sy eats progressive prostration and anemia
 Like all other diseases, undulant fever is pre- yentable and inexcusabe Man has long known its cause. Ketchikan, alarmed at the appearance of so many cases at once struck promptly at that when it's City Council held special meeting to pass crdin ance requiring pasteHization of all milk distributed in the City.
 Juneau should have a similar ordinance. Let us hope it will not take undulant fever epidemic here to bring the demand for such a safeguard to the attention of officials.
 The origina source of the infection is from animals. The organism which contagious abortion in cattle is transmitted readily to humans who drink raw milk Territorial Veterinarian Dr. j. P Ioftus, making tests for the so-called Bangs disease dairy herds at Ketchikan last week found mat oNe-fourth of the cows tested reacted either positively suspiciousy. Though the in- formation will be alarming to many, Dr Loftus is reported to be prepared to state there is hardly a nerd ii Alaska free from Bangs disease.
 The organism which swarms invisibly and with guI a4ltCtDS JdSIe Ol 4AOIH ll4SCuSQ CoWS be destroyed positively by proper pasteurzaon. The Territorial Department of Health strongly rec ommends pasteurization of all milk The simple process of proper paseurization consists of heating milk to 14315 degrees for 30 minutes.
 Of course the milk addicts always with us, people who assert in the face of scientific evil dence to the contrary that milk is better for you that presentation destroys nuritive qualities of milk and that pasteurzed milk tastes funny"
 The question of any harmful effect of pasteuri- ration on the food value of milk be answered by the following statements based careful inVest- gations by many eminent workers: Pasteurization increases the dgesthty of the protein in milk pasteurzaon does not affect the utilization of the mnerais contained in milk; pasteurization reduces the vitarlin B content of milk by approximately 23 percent the vitamn B2 content by IA percent, but this deficiency is not of importance the vtamins ir question widely distributed in other foods ordinarily consumed; vitamin is present in mia in such small amounts that it is Of no prac- tcal value; the other vitamins, A, D and E. are not affected by pasteuzation.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is.
 Adverse planetary aspects appear to dominate today. Fears and re- grets may assail those who look back over the year. for there is a sign that causes apprehension and anxiety It is not a favorable date to begin any work, but fortunate for clearing up whatver has not been l finished. Women are fairly lucky under this sway which favors do- mestic interests and shopping. The date is good for social affairs and amusements. Girls will make ac- quaintances among young men, but there is no promise of romance. i Heart and Home: Relatives come under a configuration that seems to indicate sharp differences of opin- ion. Criticism of the young may affect the harmony of family re- unions. A more serious outlook upon life by the young as well as the old will mark the new year.
 Business Affairs: Many engage ment rings will be sold as whirl- wind courtships become prevalent, Prosperity will cast its glamour over the whole land and commerce with South American ations will be greatly stimulated Big business will be generous toward employees and profit-sharing will gain in popular ity in 1941.
 National Issues: After the holi- days there will be agitation for a return to prohibition. Increase of crime will be of general concern as the winter advances. Despite the uncovernig of vice rings in various cities, reform movements will ap- pear to be sporadic and soon for gotten. Churches and civic organ izations will combine to protect the people from organized forces of evil.
 International Affairs: Misinfor- nation regarding the United States government and it's policies will be broadcast by enemies. American dip lomats may be discredited, Danger of a major disaster in an Atlantic seaport is prognosticated.. .u Japan may execute some sort of a coup that is typically oriental and suc- cessful Friendship with the Unit ed States will be sought, but there is sign of evil portent regarding a future pact of great importance. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of test in which the h a 1t h should be especially watched. Fraud and double-dealing may cause losses. Conservative fi- nancial methods are enjoined.

CUT CHRISTMAS TREES DISTANT
 FROM ROADWAY
District Ranger Tells For est Service Rules on
 YuIe Harvest

District Ranger w. A. Chipperfield reports he is receiving many inquir- ies about tthe right to cut Christ mas trees from lands accessible to the highway He states that trees for the home use of the persons doing the cutting, or for churches or fraternal organizations, can be cut from National Forest land with out the prior approval of a Forest officer, provided they are not cut from any point within 200 feet of the road, or from designated rec reational grounds, such as the Auke Village area He points out that the purpose of this restriction is to help preserve the natural beauty of the Glacier Highway. Uncon- trolled cutting over period Of years would seriously mar the appearance of the roadside.
 Don't Waste Trees
 Chipperfield asks that cutters be sure they are satisfied with a par ticular tree before they cut it down. Many trees are wasted each year by being cut and then discarded in fla vor of a more desirable one that is 1 found later.
 Christmas tree cutters will also want to remember that many tracts of privately owned land exists along the Glacier Highway. Permission to take trees from these areas must, of course, be obtained from the own CTS. The District Rangers office will gladly give advice on whether or not particular tract is publicly owned land.
 Christmas trees which are intend ed for sale have to be paid for and the cutting must be done in accord ance with the timber sale require ments of the Forest Service.

 The Republican party is seriously considering the adoption of Benjamin Franklin. Last year they adopted Thomas Jefferson and even took out first papers Andrew Jackson until they came across Jacksonisms which too embarrassing.
 We like to great parties adopt great men. There's always a chance that it'll help, especially when the party has great men available "in person. Which is just the spot the COP. is in.
 Since we like to be constructive we suggest that the COP. not limit itself to Franklin, Jeffer or the chosen few There's better way. Down in the U. s. Capitol is eerie room known as Statuary Hall In it big marble statues of scores of great men, and scores of men somewhat less great but with enough political pull, even after death to get their Hkenesses into the Capitol
 Why not just adopt Statuary Hall? It would be a perfect set-up. Not of the boys could qlen his mouth put his foot in it. And like so many good Republicans, they haven't budged an inch in years
