LABOR CONCLIATOR MAY BE STATIONED IN ALASKA BY DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

WASHINGTON, March 9 - The appointment of a labor con- eiliator to be stationed in Alaska vas held out by Gov. E. H Gruen ing before the House appropria- .lons committee as the means of helping Alaskans to solve labor employment problems.
 In testimony made public to- day Alaska's chief executive said the chief problem has been dis elimination against Alaskan workers by employers and un- ions and said the explanation was that their headquarters were il Seattle or San Francisco.
 He said he is now discussing with the Navy department such discrimination at the Navy bases a. Sltka and Kodiak and said con tractors had contracted with 30 or more crafts in the A F of L providing for the first man in each craft to be foreman and supervisors must come from the states.
 After Governor Gruening's S testimony regarding importation of Bristol Bay fishermen from the states. members of the com mittee expressed surprise that such conditions exist.
 Rep. Frank B. Keefe. Repub- lican from Wisconsin, said he be- lieve these problems should be settled by legislative action.
 John Steelman, director of the conciiation service in the Labor department, said last year the department sent conciliator to Alazka on four different and "ra- ther expensive time-consuming trips

WHAT THEY SAY IN SWITZERLAND: tD No Drive In West tS) NaZis to Bomb Britain i3) Blockade \ Question
By Charles s. Foltz, Jr.

AP Feature Service
 BERN-The greatest collection of foreign observers-official and unofficial-thath little Switzerland has even seen Is busily watching the straws blown about in the winds of the war
 One legation has IA officers helping its military attache in Bern. They've shown only polite interest in Switzerland's little army.
 Another has more than 20 peo- pie in the office of the legations press attache. Few of them spend much time reading the Swiss press.
 Representatives of Allied and German commercial interests have increased their staffs at the very time when Swiss industry is fighting valiantly to keep its head above water.
 All the official and semi-official representatives of government, along with a host of people who know their employers wouldn't lift a finger to help them official ly are watching the war
 Their opinions frequently diff fer and even more frequently are guesses. but they're listened to back in a score of world capitals. What they report means much to decisions taken there.
 Watching a war is far too big a job to tackle single-handed. Al most all these observers have their friends or people they be- heve are friends with whom they exchange information. So things get around.
 That Big Spring Push
 On the Western Front
 Few really believe that such a push will come at al. Reasons.
 CD Neither the Allied com mand nor Germany IS willing to pay the cost in men and morale for drive against the powerful West Wall or the Maginot Line.
 (2) Both see advantage in let ting the other fellow sit in the trenches with nothing to do.
 The Germans believe the Frenchman is an excellent soldier if his country is invaded, but hasn't the patience to sit in trench and wait without grousing about the government.
 The Germans believe the Eng fish need a lot of prodding-but in their homes, not in France.
 The Allies believe German ec- .onomy will crack under the Al lied blockade.
 (3) Invasion of the three west ern neutrals would bring not on-
The Nome nugget., 1940-03-27

ly possible action by more pow erful neutrals (Italy in the event of an invasion of Switzerland) but military headaches.
 Switzerland's little army, num- erically stronger and better equip ped than the Films, defends a small northeast. southwest cor her between the Alps and the Jura-which is strategically not a comfortable spot for any army to be caught in.
 For Germany the Swiss side door, leads only to a Well-fort- flied French Jura or into the Rhine Valley-far from German bases. For the Allies the same side door leads to the same old Rhine to be crossed again-and then they're only in the Black Forest.
 Once through Belgium either invader would face an extension of the "enemy's' line not to mention Belgium's ofns lines and the revamped Belgian army.
 Of those who do believe the push may come this spring on land across the Western Front, most see the Allies as the attack CTS, driven to such an offensive by Germany's submarine and air successes.
 That Air Armada Attack
 Many believe that England is in for an aerial attack from Ger man this spring. German propag andists call Britain the perfect target" Many a military man be- IieVes they're right and that it's this spring or never for Mar shal Goering's airmen.
 By next fall, say these sources the Allied plane production, aug mented by supplies from Amer lea, will be close on the heels of the German turnout.
 A few observers think Ger many might try to grab the Meth erlands as base for such at tacks by air, but others think Hollands bonds with Belgium and her weapon to water are po- tent enough to keep the Germans out.
 Almost all agree that Paris has little to fear from the air and that the Germans will continue to let the Frenchmen sit idle in trenches and at anti-aircraft guns wondering about the war and about German propaganda. That Blockade
 If Germany can turn out sub marines and man them faster than the Allies can sink them. observers in Switzerland say, Britain may be the one to worry about a blockade.
 They don't believe Germany can turn out big submarines at that pace. but they'd still like to know whether the Germans are turning out pocket subs," and, if so, how effective they are.
