CONTRACT FOR Infanirymen TERRITORIAL Aftatk Enemy VAULT IS LET In Maneuvers
Guardsmen Fight Three Machine Gun Nests in
 Evergreen Bowl

Three theoretical machine gun nests defended east side of Ever green Bowl last night as two squads of infantrymen in the Juneau Ma tional Guard crept into the area from the Gold Creek Bridge to wipe out the defensive positions.
 Taking advantage of the cover afforded by the rough terrain, the platoon worked into the bowl to a position facing the enemy" em- placements, then found themselves stopped from using a flanking movement by an imaginary cliff suddenly erected by Captain Will liam Walther.
 Only alternative left to the sol- diers was charge across the un- protected level bottom of the Bowl. Two waves of soldiers sprang from cover in the brush and raced to a concealment in the rock wall along the park bottom 200 yards away.
 Then the maneuvers were stopped and the men lectured on the spot as to their defects and ability in concealing themselves. The platoon was then formed and marched back to the armory for a lecture on first aid.

IRON LUNG E RUSHED HERE
 ON l0DE5TAR
Machine Arrives at Noon from Seattle to Aid
 Stricken Miner

Rushed to Juneau by PAA Lode
 star from Seattle, an iron lung ar
 rived here at noon today for use in
 fighting for the life of John Robert,
 28-year-old Alaska Juneau Mine employee, stricken with infantile
 paralysis. Chief of Police Dan Ral-
 ston met the Lodestar at the airport and rushed the machine to St. Ann'a
 Hospital where the patient was
 transferred from the improyised lung to the improved type machine.
 An iron lung, devised almost two years ago by Dr. Robert Coffey, formerly of this city, and Kenyon Spike MacIean of the MacLean Metal Works, was used prior to the arrival of the machine today from Seattle. This is the first time the lung had been used since it's con- struction by the two men and ac- cording to Dr. William M White head, was credited with saving the life of the stricken man. His con- dition is extremely serious.
 The iron lung was brought here through the efforts of Territorial health officials, who last right ra- diced Seattle to secure the machine. which covers only the upper DOT tion of the mans body in place of the parrel-shsped metal case in which the patient had been placed prior to this afternoon.
 According to Dr. Courtney Smith, Assistant Health Commissioner for Alaska, this is the second case of infantile paralysis within a week in the Territory. The first case report ed is at Chilkoot barracks, where a two-year old child is stricken. Dr. Smith stated that there is no need for alarm in the community as in every normal town there are spor- adic cutbursts of infantile paralysis and an epidemic is not expected.
 The iron lung received here today was borrowed from the Children's Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle. Known as a General-Collins emer- gency lung, it came North at cost of $6842 in air express
 Robert is suffering from bulbar type of the disease. He was placed in the Coffey- -MacLean lung at 5 o'clock last night and remained in it until 1:30 this afternoon. Dr. Whitehead said that if Robert had been without an iron lung for an other 15 minutes he would have died.
 All of Roberts family contacts have been in isolation since last sunday and all have been exam ined and found to be well and healthy, Hath officials said. The young miner lived with his wifes sister. He has son two years old. His wife is in a hospital in the States suffering from another disease.
 Dr. Whitehead said that If Rob- srt gets through the next few days his chances. of recovery will be good.

 munities; Telephone Service Restored

Leslie Beebe, district man. ager of the Southern New England Telephone company.

Navy Secretary Knox fingers Some Senators
Continued from Page 1.)

Knox: That is my conviction"
 Sen. Rush D. Holt, D., w. Va: would you object to any move that would allow the transporting of any supplies to belligerent na- tions if those supplies, munitions or implements of war were in United States vessels?"
 Knox: T should certainly ob- ject."
 Wheeler charged that Knox in his testimony had made a definite promise to limit his advocacy of aid to Great Britain and that in his address Monday night "Col. Knox repudiated it."
 Both Hit At Knox
 Walsh complained similarly of Knox's address and both senators charged in almost identical lan- guage that MT. Roosevelt had been giving assurances of peace to legis- lative confidantes. Both argued that Knox "counselS open warfare, eith- CT with or without the formalities of a declaration of war"
 Finally" added Walsh, mem bers of the House and Senate who are within the confidence of the president, have had the strongest assurances, and most recently, that the president does not want to take the United States into war and does not propose to do so if it can be avoided.
 "The words of Secretary Knox in Boston Monday carry shocking im- plications. If his utterances are in accord with the views of the presi- dent, then Congress and the coun- try have been grievously misled. If the impassioned declarations in which the secretary of navy in- dulged are not consonant with the views of the commander n-chief, then surely he is subject to censure for being disregardful of the pro- prieties and the obligations that his office imposes upon him."
 Knox Is Right
 Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla, fre- quent administration spokesman for expanding aid to Great Britain, said:
 "Time and history will prove that Secretary Knox was right. It is an unpleasant truth, but the longer we wait the more terrible price we will pay"
