To an observer standing on the roof of a tall west end apartment building it seemed that all of Lon don was burning or exploding, as bombs crashed down and anti aircraft bat ries poured an un- ending stream of shells into the skies. The air was filled with thick smoke and dust, and sparks dane ed over the sky. The very earth seemed to shake and screams could be heard even above the roar of the guns and bombs.
 In spite of the heavy anti-air- craft barrage and activities of the RAF night flights, only five German planes were reported downed.

LONDON BATTERED BY UN-
 COUNTED TONS OF BOMBS
 IN EIGHT HOUR NAH RAID

LONDON, April IT (H) Hun dreds of Nazi planes roared con- tinuously over London for eight hours last night and early today to drop uncounted tons of high explosives and fire bombs in the heaviest raid of the war.
 Morgues were crowded, hospit als damned and blocks on blocks of buildings turned into shoulder ing Wreckage. No one had any accurate idea of the number of dead and wounded and the vast amount of property damage to the already battered capital, but there were no doubts as to the intensity of the attack. Thou sands of explosive and fire bombs fell and observers compared it to the fierce raid on Coventry and said it was worse than anything seen at London during the height of the Nazi assaults last autumn.
 Among the dead were Lord Stamp, the governments econ omic adviser, and his wife. His body was recovered but search CTS are still burroWing in the debris for the body of Lady Stamp.
 Death struck at air raid ser vice men in all parts of the city. Members of a rescue squad were killed when a bomb exploded directly in front of their truck as it sped to the scene of a previous blast.
 Bremen on a high ladder, pour ing water onto a blazing build ing were killed when a bomb hit the foot of the ladder.
 Five fire watchers were killed by a hit on a church steeple.

FDR Asserts Public Not Aware Acute ness Of Situation

WASHINGTON, April l8 (P)- President Roosevelt expressed be lief that American public opin- on is not adequately aware of the acut1ness of the war situa- tion in Europe, but is becoming increasingly aware. He made the statement in response to press conference query and went on that he thought Americans could be made increasingly alert thru the exercise of their general in telligence through what he call ed the cracker barrel press club conversations.
 Further Interrogation brought from the President additional statements bearing on the de- fense program and aid to coun- tries battling the Axis.
 The administration has author ized specific shipments of mater ials to China but the President doesn't know whether any have started on the way across the Pacific.
 He doesn't see, now, any steps in prospect similar to the deci- sion to curtail auto production by twenty percent.

Titled "A Message to the Peo- pie of Alaska" a statement by Gov. Ernest Greuning concern ing the recent session of the Leg islature is being released through out the Territory.
 The message is as follows:
 The session of the Fifteenth Territorial Legislature just con- cluded brings out more clearly than ever the basic issue that confronts the people of Alaska This issue is whether Alaska shall be built up for the people of Alaska in conformity with Am erican principles and standards, or whether it shall continue to be governed for and by outside in terests whose sole concern is to take out of Alaska as much as they can, as fast as they can, and to leave as little as possible.
 Alaska's Organic Act adopted in an earlier day 1912) created Legislature of 16 RepresentatiV- es and eight Senators. With majority vote required to pass any measure, four Senators can block any legislation. Under the Legislatures rules a tWo-thirds vote is required whenever it is desired to speed legislation by suspension of the rules" and two-thirds are also required for acceptance from one House by the other of a measure after the 50th day. In practice this works out so that THREE men in the Senate can block any legislation. And that is why outside vested interests with their private pur- poses to serve can control the situation. They have but to win three men out of 24.

To Be No Government Control News

dent Roosevelt approved of the program and at an early date will discuss it with the American people. No details as to how the money will be raised was dis closed but Morgenthau indicated that the government will tap ev- cry possible means of raising dol lar taxes, despite the former pol icies of the administration.
 He indicated that such drastic means as the general sales tax, payroll tax, and other heavy mon ey raising taxes, are under consid eration.

Two Glasses of Legislators

It was the will of the Lobby, which determined the final result in the Fifteenth Session of the Territorial Legislature. A major ity of the legislators could not be directly affected by the Lobby. Relatively few in our public life can be DIRECTLY influenced by it; and those are known in ad- vance to the Lobby. Often they have sought election for the sole purpose of protecting certain in terests. For, broadly speaking, legislators fall into two classes: Those who seek to represent their constituents honestly and honorably, and those who are there to serve something else, themselves included. It is not difficult to recognize in most cas- es into which classes the legis- lators fall. There are some who unabashedly and quite shameless ly serve the private interests which hires them and who un-

attractive architectural decora-

It was proposed to find out
how businessmen In the neigh

ence on real estate, on neighbors,
and whether there are changes
in the outlook of the re-housed
families themselves.
Influence of better housing on
morale in national defense was
another proposal for scientific
analysis. What happens, the
psychologists asked, to families
who are moved out of slums,
during the interval before they
can come back to better, cheap

A mixing of social strata on
an unprecedented scale was
pointed out in those areas where
the rehousing has been taken
over by two groups, one from
slums, which stepped forward,
and the other, formerly well-to-
do, which had lost everything
