lion in Warsaw, Where
He Visited Often

Warsaw is much more than just
word in the war news to Jack
Littlepage, Chichagof Mine operator,
who has visited the Polish capital
several times and can visualize the
destruction now being wrought by
German attackers.
The city stands on flat plain,
wholly unprotected Littlepage says.
It's houses and other buildings are
of brick and stone construction, and
must be especially vulnerable to ar
tillery fire or bombing
Littlepage has also been in other
Polish cities figuring in the war
news. From the German border to
Warsaw they stand on perfectly
flat plain, easily crossed by an army.
About Russia
Concerning Russia, where Little
page served as a mining engineer for
many years, he says recent events
have shown the Soviets to be not
idealistic champions of socialism
but as materialistic as any other
nation.
1t has been said that Germany is
counting on tungsten and nickel
from Russia. Littlepage says he has
been in every tungsten and nickel
mine in the U. S. S. r. and their
total output is negligible. Russia
doesn't produce enough copper to
meet her own domestic needs in
peace time, he says, the yearly pro-
duction being about $4,000 tons, less
than that of a single u S. mine.
Germany has only one copper mine.
Littlepage flew in from his mine
yesterday and plans to remain in
Juneau few days. He says the
mine is employing % men and its
production on its present failing
operations is just about what the
company figured on.
