 ARE NEEDED

 Soliciting Donations

Mirrors, bath towels and coat hangers are items urgently need ed by the Juneau men at Chilkoot Barracks, it was reported today by che American Womens Voluntary Services. Word has been received by the group that these three items are lacking in Post facilities, and donations would be very gladly re- ceived by the men.
 To remedy the situation the AWVS is soliciting donations to send to the men as soon as pos ,ible. and a box has been placed in the entrance of the Territorial Building on Third and Seward streets so that people who have any of the above mentioned ar ticles to donate may place them in the box.
 As the Torrance is now in Ju- neau and IS leaving to return to Chilkoot Barracks tomorrow morn- ing. the contents of the box will be packed tonight for shipment. The oox will be open for donations un- til 8 o'clock.
 The men have been issued huck towels, which are very unSatisfac- tory for use as bath towels accord ing to the information received, because they are quite small. No bath towels are obtainable either at the Commissary or in the town of Haines, so donations will be much appreciated.
 Small trench mirrors of polished steel have been ordered for the use of the men, but at present they have none, and mirrors are much needed. About 300 coat hangers are also needed, as none are available for the. men
 To be ready for shipment on the Fornance tomorrow morning. the items donated must be ready for packing tonight.

 A bulletin from Hitlers field head quarters said Nazi troops planted the swastika battle flags on the penin- Sula's south coast between Sebas- topol and Kerch, on the eastern tip of the Crimea yesterday
 Isolated Axis forces knifed across the neck of the pear-shaped penin- sula and captured the coastal town of Feodosiya and reported crossing the Yaila Mountains in what ap- peared to be a serious blow to Rus sian defense strategy.
 Rear Guard Action
 Soviet reports reaching London said that previously the Russian commanders made no attempt to stem the German sweep across Cen tral Crimea after the Nazi forces broke through Perikop Isthmus, gateway to the Black Sea Republic. Instead, these reports said, the Rus sians merely executed rear guard action while moving their main forces to strong positions along the Yaile Range to cover Sebastopol and Kerch.
 While the Crimean struggle evil dently was nearing it final stages, the Russians found more cheerful news on the central front before Moscow, where General Zhukov's Red armies are reported to have re- captured the city of Kalinin, 95 miles northwest of the Red capital.
