Securities Imported to Alaska To Be Examined by Governor

Further restrictions relating 10 financial transactions with for eign countries, restrictions intend cd to strengthen the machinery for freezing credits where in vaded countries are involved, are now in effect, according to in- formation received today by Gov ernor Ernest Gruening from Washington.
 The ruling provides that secur- tics imported into the United States must be given to the pro per authorities for examination before they are delivered to ad- dresses.
 In Alaska Governor Gurening is officially designated to make such examination. This will be

 T. also calls for delivery. Min ing and delivery costs money and Mrs Moroney made an arrange ment with New York interests for s2OO,O0O for mining and other productions costs, but the latter demanded certain data which would only be obtainable in AL aska.
 Mrs. Moroney flew to Seattle the latter part of May chartered a special plane to Seldovia, arriv ed there May 24, several hours before expiration of her fat con tract, and arranged for it's renew al for another six months The chrome was under thirty feet of snow so she couldn't start pro- duction immediately but expects to do so in several weeks.
 Meanwhile Mrs. Moroney nurs es a pet peeve against Paul Nal lon who column appears daily in The Post-Intelligencer. On May 13, Hallon wrote the following:
 "A woman, for one example, won her bid to produce chromite ore in Alaska many months ago, but the chromite and the woman have been missing ever since"
 Mrs. Moroney insists she isn't missing at all, and as for the chrome, well, there's an estimat- ed 286,O00 tons of 1t in her AL askan mine. She may send Nal lon a sample.

done so the Treasury Department will be enabled 10 ascertain de- fnitely whether Norway, Den mark, Belgium, The Netherlands or Luxembourg or nationals thereof have any interest in such securities.
 All securities or evidences thereof from foreign country which may be imported into AL aska must now be forwarded to Governor Grueaing for the nec- essary inspection.
 The customs service and the post office department will coop crate actively in enforcing this ruling.

ALASKA CHROME QUEEN BACK IN SEATTLE AFTER AIR RACE FOR BIG PRIZE

Mrs. William Moroney, who re gently flew from San Francisco to Fairbanks, thence on to Sel- dovia in a race to acquire con- trol of valued chrome deposits on which she was reported to hold options, was back in Seattlei with the big prize securely clin- ched. The Seattle Post-Intelligenc CT reported her return there, say ing:
 Petite, twenty-eight and with alert blue eyes, Mrs. William Moroney, who might approprate- ly be called Americas chrome queen. arrived in Seattle from Al aska yesterday, her S843,00 con- tract to supply the United States with war-essential mineral safe from possible challenge.
 Mrs. Moroney has title to a huge chrome mine on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, near Seldovia. She has another chrome mine in California that she sold a few months ago to Rustless Iron and Steel Corporation for S75,000.
 Eight years ago Mrs. Moroney, then Dorothea Reddy, was a S135 month stenographer with the now defunct National Recovery Administration. She was interest ed in chrome. She was interested because her late father Dr. John F. Reddy of Medford, Ore, had supplied the government with some amount of chrome during the closing days of the World War. The government hadn't paid him.
 One-WOman Fight
 Miss Reddy started a one-wo- man fight against the federal gov ernment for the unpaid bill for chrome mined in Southern Ore gon in 1913. Last year and not until then, she won and an appro pration bill adopted by the pres ent congress carries an item of $3,200 in payment for that claim.
 Somewhere Mrs. Moroney got an idea that there might be an other war, and it was logical to assume that if there was Amer ica would need chrome as it did in the past war. All industrial chrome, necessary in the manu- facture of stainless steel and many military alloys had been, coming from Russia, New Gale donia and Turkey.
 pr. Reddy had acquired title to much chrome land, but the documentary evidence could not be located at the time of his death. His daughter, thrown on her own resources, began search through records, both in Washington and Oregon. She found the necessary papers, but demand for domestic chrome was nil.
 Then came international tur- moil. Russia stopped shipments of chrome. France drafted man. power in New Caledonia and production there halted And on ly recently Mrs. Moroney learned in telephone conversation with New York associates. that Italy had stopped a chrome shipment of 5000 tons from Turkey.
 Result Mrs. Moroney has most of the available high-grade chrome on the North American continent and the federal govern ment readily gave her the huge contract, calling for delivery of a vast amount of the ore. The con

Nozis May Seek to Surprise
British by Several Attacks
Plan Would Be, Maj. Eliot Believes,
To Concentrate Where Success Is Best

several places at once, or to create
the illusion Of such attacks.
Six Steps TO Be Taken.
The steps to be taken are:
l. Concentration Of troops in such
places that they can swiftly be
moved to points of embarkation
without detection, II possible;
2. Concentration of floating equip
ment at the proper places to receive
and transport them:
3. Plans for air forces to cover the
crossing, and to prepare the bridge
heads" by intensive attack delivered
at the latest possible moment so as
not to give more notice than neces-
sary-also certainly some attacks de-
livered where no landing Is in
tended
4. Plans for covering the crossing
by the use of such naval forces as
are available to the Germans, by
mines and by the fire, as far as pos
sible, OF shore artillery;
S. The preparation Of air-borne
infantry and parachute troops to CO.
operate with the ship-borne invaders
not only in the seizing Of the bridge
head, but in disrupting interior COM
municationS so as to impede the
movement of British reserves to the
threatened spot;
6. Plans for additional air squad
rons to seek to neutralize British air
bases in the vicinity by intensive
attack
All this would have to be worked
out on a time table in which the
skill of the Germans in complicated
staff work would be taxed to the ut
most. There are two general prin-
ciples which might be followed; one
would be to select in advance the

Hozen Questions Value
Of Auto Permit Photos

Commissioner Hazen yesterday
questioned whether benefits from q
proposed requirement that photo
tographs be attached to drivers
permits would be worthwhile.
Such a step has been suggested
by Traf11c Director William A. Van
Duzer, and he plans to place it be-
fore the Commissioners Trafic Ad-
visory Council soon.
In this connection, a report by
the Offices Of Corporation Counsel
Elwood H. Seal showed that dur
ing the last fiscal year there were
"a cases taken to Traffic Court or
charges Of obtaining q permit By
Misrepresentation and II cases OF
lending permits. The total number
OF Traf1c Court cases last yeal
was more than $4,000.
Evening star., 1940-09-15

Britain may equally well be pro-
tected by the British Navy.
Hence the Germans must have
considered compelling arguments
for the short line of attack, from
the Channel coast, that from Hol-
land to the east coast of England,
and that from Norway into Scot
land, are proportionately less ad-
vantageous. These considerations
do not apply with equal force, as
already stated, to comparatively
small attempts on the Orkneys, the
Shetlands or even on Ireland.
But In considering these, a few
only OF the many facets of the prob
lem, we perceive the almost infinite
variety of combinations within
which the Germans may exercise
the priceless advantage of the ini-
tiative, giving them the ability to
strike at their own selected time and
place, in the manner most advan-
tageouS to themselves and least con-
venient to their enemy, and always
with the element of surprise kept
well In mind.
