U. s. TO ASK RUSSIA FOR COAST BASES

TOKYO, Aug. - The Japanese Navy's official spokesman predict ed that the United States will seek bases on Russian soil and said in that event Japan could not remain unconcerned" since she considers such bases in the Far East a threat to herself.
 The spokesman, Commander Hiraide, writing in a popular magazine, said America probab- ly will demand bases on Russia's far eastern coasts in return for aid in her war against Germany.
 He asserted the Soviet govern ment faces a fate like that of the refugee Chinese govern ment." Chungking revolts are likely to break out in various places and the Soviet union is leading the establishment of many local governments.

Alaska S Good Fortune
(The Seattle Tin1es)

Enduring good fortune has come to Alaska as result of de- fense construction in the north ern Territory. Large sums of money expended there by the Federal government have brought prosperity to Alaska; but more important still are permanent effects of the defense program that will be felt long after the present emergency is over.
 These are tidings brought 10 Seattle by visitors familiar with the whole story of Alaska's devel opment.
 A factor which has contributed much to the growth of Alaska in recent years is the airplane. Air travel has opened up Alaska s more inaccessible areas as mo- thing else could have done, and incidentally, brought them clos CT to Seattle. Fairbanks, up un- der the Arctic Circle, now IS but nine and half hours away from us
 One thing the defense program has done for the future of Alas ka has been to provide the best air facilities, airports, radio sta tions and weather reporting sta ton that can now be designed. There is nothing temporary about these facilities - they are permanent assets. They will give commercial aviation an immense further stimulus in the post-em- ergency time to come.
 Alaska also is acquiring good new roads, such as the l35-mlle Chuckaloon cutoff connecting the Anchorage areas with the Richardson Highway. City streets, that formerly were mud- dy roads, are being paved. Good permanent office buildings are be ing built comfortable houses are going up.
 Before the defense program be gan. Alaskas new development already was under way, as Gov. Ernest H, Gruening points out. The l940 census revealed a pop ulation increase of 22.3 percent, which was exceeded by only two states of the Union.
 The benefits which Alaska will receive from the defense activity extend in many directions. One of these is toward Seattle. Seat tie citizens rejoice in Alaska sI good fortune for the Teerritory's own sake. But Seattle will al ways share in those benefits. They make Alaksa a better GUS toner.

Stations For

Gov. Ernest Gruening has an nounced that designation of in- duction stations for Alaska select ees by the Alaska Defense Com mand. The Governor stated tha, the commanding officers of the following-named stations are charged with the responsibility for the induction and shipment to stations to which assigned. or to the place of residence if reject ed. of all selectee who may re- port to their stations pursuant to instructions of the Territorial Di rector of Selective Service or the Headquarters of the Alaska De- fense Command:

 "The travel of selectees to plac es of induction and allied matters IS the province of the Selective Service System, and not the Army said the Governor, "and will be handled in accordance with instructions issued through the Territorial Director of Sel- ective Service.
 The initial assignment of in- duetees prior to the induction of the 297th Infantry, Alaska Nation al Guard, will be to the 4th h. fantry at Fort Richardson from all stations west of Yakutat, in elusive to the 4th Infantry at Chi koot Barracks, from all oth- CTS. Subsequent to the induction of the 297th Infantry, Alaska Ma tional Guard, all selectees will be assigned to the barracks at ei ther Fort Richardson or Chilkoot Barracks the Governor said.
 The Governor also announced that arrangements were being made for the immediate induc- ton of transferees who have their necessary induction papers transferred to Alaska from local boards Outside"
 As soon as the local boards in Alaska have completed the inte- grafton of registrants of the First and Second registrations, and duly classified all registrants, according to availability for ser vice in the Armed Forces," the Governor stated, and after con- ference with the Alaska Defense Command, l shall issue the first call and notify each local board of the Alaska Selective Service System the number of men each ,nall he required 10 furnish to ne Armed Forces

Induction Of Guard Sept. l5

Wlli De lnQucleQ Into actlVe duty September Is, it was officially ar nounced in telegram to Cover nor Ernest Gruening from Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson. The order is to affect "all fed. erally recognized elements of the First Battalion, 297th Infantry o1 the National Guard of the United States of the Territory of Alas ka and all personnel of both the active and inactive National Guard assigned thereto" accord ing to the message from Secre- tary Simpson.
 The move will see control over approximately 300 guardsmen in Juneau, Ketchikan, Anchorage and Fairbanks shift from the Territory to the federal War De- partment one minute after mid night on September l4.
 10 Days Later
 In less than 10 days after the order becomes effective, the men will leave for training bases at Ch;lkoot Barracks or Fort Rich ardson, Maj. Jesse E. Graham, Army instructor for the Alaska guard units, said.
 During the period from Sep tember Is until the men leave for their training posts, complete physical examinations will be made of each man and prepara- tions will be made for equipping the soldiers.
 Due to poor armory facilities, men living in Juneau may be per mitted to sleep at home during the preparation period before leaving for the training base, pro viding such arrangement does not interfere with his military duties," Major Graham said. Men from outside Juneau will be pro- vided with hunks in the armory, he added. The company will be fed in local restaurants.
 TranSnortatiOu
 Although no definite arrange ments have been made as yet for transporting men to the training bases, it is hoped that a boat will be available to pick up Com pany B at Ketchikan, then pro- ceed to Juneau whe Company A would embark on the same ship for Chilkoot Barracks. If commer cial transportation vessels can not make space available for the troop movements, Coast Guard boats may be used, Major Ora ham believes.
 Headquarters and medical de- tachments from Juneau will go to Fort Richardson, where Com pany C, from Fairbanks, and Company D, from Anchorage will be stationed.
 According to the order for mus tering out the troops, the guards men are to spend approximately 13 weeks in training camps for basic training. Where they will go from there is not known, Major Graham said.
 Train Selectees
 The National Guard units will act as a training staff for selec- tees from the Territory, who will begin moving to camp about the 18th of October, it is planned.
 Selectees who registered in the States and are now in Alaska will be sent to training camps when they are eligible for induc- ton from their home commun- tiles, it has been announced. Those sent from communities west of Yakutat will go into the Fourth Infantry at Fort Richard son, while those from all other A ,,,,11 -@ 4- Th,1

il three athletic endeavorS, to wit:
He played first base for the

Sports Writers baseball game in
Florida, got no hits in four times

flat on his face trying to catch
a pop fly TO the infield. George

ment at ASheville, N. c.. including
a side bet with Chet Smith, sports
editor of the Pittsburgh press who
thinks it's shame to waste good
bottle glass by using it to package
B-1. At a crucial stage of the
match your correspondent blew
two-foot putt and Smith dropped
an 18-footer for a birdie.
The third and final catastrophe
occurred when your correspondent
went in with three aces and failed
10 improve them. Whereupon John
Carmichael of the Chicago Daily
News, a B-1 hater from way back,

NEW YORK. April II tUP) e.
The St. Louis Cardinals started
their 1941 season by breaking out
in a rash of home runs that drove
Paul Derringer, ace pitcher of the
world champion Cincinnati Reds
TO the showers.
II this keeps up, the slogan of the
Cardinals is going to be: Pills Pro-
duce Pennants.
Ever since they arrived at their
spring training camp in St Peters,
burg, Fla, the Cardinals have been
chewing away on $4,000 vitamin
B-l pills. Bottles of the things were
lying around the clubhouse in such
profusion that baseball writers
wondered whether they were in a
spring training camp or had blund-
cred into the biennial Convention oil
the American Pharmaceutical as.
SociatiOn.
Sitting on a bench in the sun
crammed all the way to his tonsils
with B-l, was President Sam Brea-
don of the Cardinals, delivering an
Grafton worthy of Desmosthenes on
the virtue of the littS white pills
he was feeding his players. He
beamed as Lonnie Warneke, the
aged, creaky- -jointed pitcher, rar
like a frightened deer around the
bases. He went into raptures as old
Gus Mancuso sprang around home
plate as though this was his first
season as a big-league catcher.
Having converted his ball players
TO B-1 by the Simple device of
ordering, Take them pills." Brea-
don decided to Go a little missionary
work among the sports writer's who
were lolling on the bench beside
him. He pointed out that B-1 was
the morale Vitamin' and that
baseball writers would need some
thing 10 sustain them in the grind
ing, monotonous work of watching
ball games all afternoon all sum-
