Irving Studies Super-Markeiing
 On Seattle Trip

Wilbur Irving returned on the Yukon today after three weeks in Seattle studying new market trends and buying for the summer sea- son.
 While in Seattle Irving studied the newest trend in grocery mer- chandising, the "super-market," a large-scale grocery business operat- ing on low profits and volume bus mess, generally with corresponding large floor area and parking space
 There are now eight of these super markets in Seattle, Irving said although the idea only took hold on the East Coast about two or three years ago and have since swept the country.
 Declaring super markets" aren't much different in principle from Irvings "whing -dings," Irving said, however. I've made all my pur- chases for the summer ahead of time and I'll tHndle my freight over my own dock adjacent to the Commercial Wharf. I've learned lot of new twists to the grocery business and 1 think I'll be able to give my customers the advaa- tages in what I've learned"

TROJAN HORSE" SCHEME TO DEVELOP ALASKA, IS CHARGE OF SEN. REYNOLDS

WASHINGTON Charges that legislation recommended by the Interior Department to develop Alaska was scheme to bring in aliens and constituted Trojan Horse" were made before Senate Territories subcommittte by Sen ator Robert R. Reynolds, Demo- crat from North Carolina, who told the committee the bill is just a smoke screen to bring thousands of aliens into the Unit ed States through Alaska"
 Colonel John T. Taylor of the American Legion said the bill was a Trojan horse of enemies to our Democracy"
 He added that under the "guise of refugees this has been the ia vorite way of secret agents and dictators to have found their way into England, France and other Eurpean countries.
 Instead of opening doors in Al aska to the hordes of aliens who will pour into that country from Russia, Germany and other Eu- ropean countries and invest it with a population entirely for eign to the Unted States and our national welfare, our best efforts should be directed toward form ulation of a constructive program designed to protect Alaska by prohibiting the population of that Territory by aliens" he said.
 Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di mond agreed with Senator Rey- holds.

Germans Claim .Encirclement Of Allied Forces

UNDATED, May 25 (P) - The Allied armies in northern France and Belgium, of half a million to a million men, were trapped the German high command declared, by Nazi forces driving through Flanders. It was said they com pleted the encirclement yester- day and captured the important English channel port of Boulogne the Belgian cities of Ghent and Courtai and crossed the Lys riv- CT. The British admitted the AL lied outlook was growing dark CT.
 The French, who say they re- duced the Peronne Bapaume gap from between 30 and 35 miles to about 20 miles wide, admitted Nazi bitzkreig units were still pouring through to the coastal plain, but that the Nazi advance in the St. Omer region was check ed. The French military spokes- man. asserted the whole front was without change" and called the situation at Boulogne uncertain.
 A German gain means that the Allied forces are isolated. The Germans stretched an unbroken line in front of them, and the Eng fish, with the channel at their backs, unless the corridor is brok en through to them, appears must surrender or die, or try to escape by water and puts the Germans another step closer to a position to invade England.

Construction Public Tennis Court To Start After Arrival 1st Boat

The Arctic Club has contract ed to build for the city of Nome public tennis court. The site of the court will be on Front Street directly across from the Federal Building. The title to the property remains with the gov ernment, but the City of Nome has been given the right to use the property for public recrea- tional purposes. The City in turn has delegated this right to the Arctic Club by giving it permis- sion to construct a tennis court on the site.
 The Arctic Club is now raising funds to construct the court which will be built early this sea son. In the near future the court will be staked out the fence posts erected and the site level ed. Shortly after the arrival of the first boat the fence will be completed, the playing surface will be finished and the court will be ready for use.
 The court will be completely fenced in. The fence will be twel ve feet high on the sides and six teen feet high on the ends. The playing surface will be construct ed of laminated two by four tim bers surfaced and painted, laid on edge on four by six stringers. This type of construction has been chosen as being most suit able for conditions found in Nome. Other surfaces were care fully considered and rejected for various reasons such as excessive maintenance cost difficulty of re pair and liability to irreparable damage. While the type of court chosen is one of the most expen- sive to construct, it will give Nome a fast, durable court of regulation size.
 While the court is being con- structed by the Arctic Club and will be maintained by the Arctic Club, it will be open to the use of the general public. Any rules established to protect the court & permit it's greatest general use will apply to all persons using it. It is hoped that the court will furnish enjoyment to many per sons in Nome for long time to come.
