The Doctor and his party are stranded and dsti- ute in Canada after an unsuccessful attempt to walk from Hazelton, B. C. to skagway.
 We are destitute. No food nor shelter Some immediate help must be obtained. Send return wire to- day to Constable Gerald Davis. Tele- graph Creek authorities unable to give assistance except through U. S. authorities" the wire received this week by |. s. Commissioner Rich ard Suratt here pleaded.
 The Pencovie party left HazeltonI July 27 and arrived, hungry and destitute at Telegraph Creek Sept. s. According to reports reaching here. Pencovic had traded his seven-pas- senger car to George Beirnes. well known packer. if Beirnes would take the party to skagWay. They set out from Hazelton with one pack-horse| heavily loaded and with the two small children riding astride the load. At one place along the trail. the horse lost it's footing and plung- ed down a 16-foot cliff killing the horse but the children escaped with out a scratch.
 The party consists of Dr. Penco- vic. his wife, Geneva. and two small children, Von Christina Peneovic. age 3 F and LaVeta Avon Peneovie, age F Miss Ruth Alice Britzell. of Salt Lake City and Ed Griffith of Phoenix.

ALASKA GUIDES
 RETURN HOME AFTER
 TRIP TO CANADIAN WILDs

Ed Jonhke of Juneau and Wesley Meyers of Ketchikan, licensed Alas ka guides, returned to Wrangell from interior Canada on the Hazel B 1, Harrington Transportation Com pany river boat, Wednesday even- ing.
 Jonhke and Meyers were guests of Mir. and Mrs. Lorenz Iyerson of Pittsburgh for a big game hunt in the area of Goldfish Lake which is one of the least explored regions Of Canada
 The Iversons, with another guest Lauritz Melchoir. famous grand op- era star, flew from Pittsburgh to fort Nelson in their 17-passenger trans. port plane last August. From there they chartered a Yukon-Southerr plane which they used in reaching otherwise inaccessible hun n E grounds from Goldfish Lake.
 Jonhke, who planned the trip fol the Pittsburgh millionaire steel man ufacturer and his party, reported game in abundance in that part o the country. With Meyers and Wal ter Julian, cook, who also returned Wednesday they took a 36-horse pacl train out of Telegraph Creek in Au gust and went overland to establish ( hunting base for the party whi arrived at Goldfish short time 'afte tha guides reached there.
 "The country is so wild" Jonhk said, that caribou and sheep ming led freely and unafraid to graz with our horses and we passe camps of Caribou Hide Indians wh had never even been as far ava from home as Telegraph Creek" l took eight days travelling from da light to dark" to bring the pac train out, travelling most of the tim through snow storms, the Junea guide added. He reported Is inche of snow at Goldfish Lake when tn party left two weeks ago.
 Jonhke said the Iversons obtaiI ed nice trophies of sheep. eaTfbC and Rs0aa&>

Leningrad Battle RageS FierCeIY Despite
 Claims And DenialS

Claims. as heated and bloody as the battle ground from which they sprung, were being hurled back and forth across the eastern front around Leningrad today German and Rus sians alike report gains and deny losses. But one thing is certain. the fight for Leningrad is one of the most sanguinary of the war so far
 Berlin portgays Leningrad as city of millions gradually being re- dueed to burning ruins and wreck age by continuous cannonade and desperate house to house conflict in its factory suburbs. Tn the suburbs there was furious hand to hand fighting by the defenders in vil- lages at the edge of the metropolis and defense by Soviet warships in the Bay of Kronstadt was brought to an end. the German press stated. with the destruction of Russias two large battleships, the October Reyo- lution and Morat
 German Finnish troops are said to have cut Leniugrad's important Mur- mansk railroad. leaving the beseiged city without means of communIca- tion or transport They admitted the Russians. soldiers and civilians alike are putting up stiff resistance and there seemed no sign of let-up to the battle.
 The Russian army declared that the tide of battle for Leningrad had started to swing in their favor as a result Of heated counter-attacks against the Germans in greater num- bers and intensity.
 German re-enforcements, they said were constantly arriving to fill gaps left by enormous losses but the Red Army newspaper, Red Star, said, Red Army fighters and armed Len ingradites are dealing blows in var iOus directions. Here and there the German army Is already unable to resist pressure
 That there might be more truth to the Russian statement than the German, was shown when Hitler de- handed help from Bulgaria. Hun gary and Yugoslayia in the form of thousands of troops. His plea to Il Duee for half million men brought a response from the Italian Dictator that all Italy's troops were needed in Libya to protect Italian interests there.
 London reported that British ail for Russia was being rushed in a rapidly increasing tide to the east ern front Although London painted gloomy picture as the outlook for Leningrad and the Crimea in the south, it was disclosed that Royal Air Force planes were already fly ing wing to wing with the Soyiets and tanks would soon be in action with Russian ground forces.
 Furthermore, it was predicted. Im- perial troops might be sent through Iran into the Soviet Caucasus to aid the hard pressed Russians there.
 Revolt of Serbs and new threats made by the Germans to the French, who are showing growing unrest, all led to the speculation that Hitler was having his own internal troubles and if Russia could hold out lit tie longer, the winter of 19ll-i2 might spell the beginning oi he doom of Nazism.

About Mr.. Eastwood:
THE TIMES GOES ON RECORD
Council Should Do the Same
(EditoriaD
(Editorial)

7 ET'S quit mncng words.
- Tacoma has an unpleasant fact to face
Safety Commissioner Holmes Eastwood is unsuited
to his present job.
The commissioner has amply demonstrated his dis
regard of the virtue of accuracy the low value he places
on the spoken pledge.
The commissioner. to. be blunt again has proven he
is temperamentaly untitled to sit member of the
city council and to lead police and lire departments
Latest to clash with Eastwood is Maj. Gen. George
A. White. commandant at Fort Lews-Camp Murray. BY
letter to the city council Monday, White replied to the
commissioners attack on the armyS military police and
the conduct of men of our new army in this city.
White declared Eastwood did not speak ruthtully-
and White proved il.
This is not the first time Tacoma has been Inundated
by such public performance the part of the COM
missioner. 1t should be the last.
COMMISSIONER Eastwood has not been able TO carry
on amcable cooperative relations with his colleagues
on the council, with the of his police department.
with the public in general Worst of all, his quarres
have been petty and pointess and accomplished moth
ing-nothing but the nurture of discord
The Tacoma Times has desire to over-emphaslZe
its own dispute with Eastwood. But The Times feels
justified in reminding its readers that the commissioner
two months ago closed records and reports of the police
department to this newspaper because told Tacoma at
that time that the army authorities were threatening to
declare the city out of bounds due to laxity of local
law enforcement.
Eastwood didn't like that; he reacted violently.
Neither did he like the armys impartial policing
methods.
Just why is something for conjecture at present.
WITHOUT authority from the city council he appealed
to federal authorities for cash grant with which
to build up his police force. Of he didn't get It,
and he should have known better than to try
He should have known, too, that it ridiculous
we'll unwise to jump over the heads of the local mill
tary chiefs in an appeal to the national capital about
conditions he had not discussed with local COM
manders That is not the way the intelligent admins
traitor gets along with 'the other fellow.
This incident, which might be very harmful to this
city, merely is another example of Eastwoods lack of
capacity for his public task.
THE situation no longer should be CLOSED over.
1t should be corrected
The mayor and city council should overcome timdty
pull their official heads from the sands of compacency
and act decisively.
They have the power available-and they have at
their service the strength that flows from sympathetic
public opinion.
If they have the courage, the community will be
spared further embarrassment and loss.
