Fannie Pierre Lewis, on Septem-

regular visits to Saltwater Prison

gospel to the less fortunate. If

larger cities.
Monday about this time e p. n.y.
millions of us Americans will be
dialing to catch the championship
prize fight. While thousands of
Germans, Russians, English and
Italians will be warning with death
dealing weapons a brownskinned
young chap with the skin of baby
will wage a war against another
American lad as Louis the champ
and Nova the challenger meet in
the prize ring. If Louis loses his
crown many will be disappointed
for he has been a truly great
champion. If Nova loses he will
join that great caravan of cham
pions and aspiring pugilists who
have given their best or worst to
the cash customers in an attempt
to win ring Immortality by beating
the boy from Detroit. May the
best man win!
The likeable Dewey Johnson, for
mer Congressman from the Fifth
district, died too young. He was
admired by the cOlOred people and
in Congress did what he could to
push legislation friendly to the in
terests of the cOlOred people. In a
recent issue of the MIDWEST LA

luth, appeared an article For a

asked F.D.R. to name a Negro to
the Civil Service Board. 1t is
pointed out by Mill Citians that no

period 10 or more Negroes have re-
ceived appointments!

try, and believe that no one intends to do so Certainly it is not those who VOW so ardent de- voton to their country who would be justified in forbidding your loyal love for yours. Love for ones country is indeed a sacred duty; and it is not because it is momentariy in distress that this duty is less imperative On the contrary this is the occasion to say with the illustrous Roman citizen Cicero At this moment indeed no place ought to be sweeter to you than your country; and you should not love her the less because she has been disfigured; but on the contrary, you should pity her the more.
 "A citizen worthy of that name, identifies his interests and his own fate with the interests and fate of his fatherland. He shares it's trials, he its losses and its misforunes he wishes for 'ts prosperity and he endeavors to collaborate in the preservation and enrichment of its patrmony of faith virtue, and beauty He conscientiously avoids all that which might injure his country and he takes great care that his words writings acts, and general behavior may not hurt or be interpreted contrary to the higher interests of the national colectivity
 Under the present circumstances, these rules of behavior remain in force It is of necessary to recognize the occupying power de facto power and also to obey within the limits of international conventions; but the Belgian fatherand continues to exist and all its children it fidelity assis- tance Conduct yourselves therefore, under all cir cumstances, in correct and dignfied manner, which reason for shame"
 It is evident that the spirit expressed here hard ly fits into Hters new order and that the Belgian people, at least, not part of what Hitler speaks of Europe against England"

PAVE THE HIGHWAY

One of the Alaska road developments which should come to pass part of the present North land boom is paving of the Glacier Highway out of Juneau. Beyond doubt this is the most heavily travelled strip of road in the Territory of Alaska That it should still be a gravel highway after all these years is sad commentary on Alaska progress
 Now that the weather calls outdoors, pay more attention to the highway than at other times of the year. But besides being pleasure road the Glacier Highway is year-around work road The phenomenal growth in the number of homes along the highway in recent years has increased greatly the pounding it takes daily from traffic In the States such road would have been paved years ago as a matter of course
 With half million dollar airfield improvement project in the offing. the highway certain to be used this year more than Contractors trucks operating long hours at high speeds under heavy loads, will give the highway terrific beating Pleas ure cars tourist buses, delivery trucks CCC and Forest Service equipment, loaded with fishermen and vehicles enroute to and from the arfield with Seattle and Fairbanks passengers will increase the traffic.
 Clearly of the Glacier Highway has passed the point to which gravel road should be tolerated Juneau should set up clamor for paving of thif road that will not be slenced until the job is done

MACHINE TOOLS

Chief reason behind the big cu.- tailment in auto production was ti.e release of urgently needed machine tools for defense. The machine tool bottleneck could be broken overnight if all the machine tools owned by the motor industry were turned to the making of plane, tanks and other armament.
 Defense experts estimate that there are around 1,5OO.0O0 machine tools in the US, of which more than half are in plants making motor vehicles or parts for them, and in the allied metal fabricating industry. The list includes grinders, milling machines, lathes, boring machines. presses, gear cutters, driilers, and shapers, all vital in the production of defense equipment.
 New output of machine tools is now speeding at the rate of 1f,O0O a month. This is spectacular achievement and a great tribute to the industry. But it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the 75O,- 900 machine tools already possessed by the auto and metal fabricatine industries, which army men say

FERRY SCHOOL

Everybody is wondering how the swarms of fighting planes which U s. factories will produce for the Bri- tish in the next 12 months will be delivered overseas. The answer, fol the big ships, is that they will be flown across-and in such great numbers that the British are setting up special pilot training school for that purpose, in the United States
 The Army Air Corps is carrying out the plan. Though it will be a British enterprise, the Air Corps is guiding it because of better con- tactS with U. s. concerns. The Corps is negotiating with private contractors who will build the school, with complete facilities at a cost of $500,0OO
 The school will give an intensive refresher and training course to volunteer pilots to qualify them fJr "ferrying' the big bombers across the Atlantic.
 The volunteers may be British Canadian, or American. However it is expected that the largest mum bers will be American. The British can use 250 of them.

$165 Sneeze Brings Curry
 To Juneau

Capt. A. J. Curry, skipper of the Taku Chief on the run up the Taku River to Tulsequah, is in town today because he made very relaxing, but expensive sneeze. In fact the sneeze cost the river boat captain exactly $165. Here's how it happened.
 Out in the middle of the Taku River the other day Capt. Curry stood on the deck of the Chief The swirling waters of the river rushed by. Curry's nose started to itch. Then coincident with the ,ka- choo of the sneeze that inevitably followed was flash of white in the air and splash of something in the water. When the Captain opened his eyes he caught a glimpse of his upper dental plate bridge and all, sinking to the bot tom of the river.
 The Captain, now famous for his $165 sneeze, flew into Juneau yes terday for a new plate and will fly back to Mary Joyce's and the toothsome Taku Monday, al! equipped with new upper plate.

it's completely safe from bad boys looking for eggs.
 The south grounds of the White House are protected day and night by special police, and except foi Easter egg rolling and few polite garden parties, no one is admitted. Even then, no one is allowed near the corner where the Presidents office is located. And this is the corner where MT. and Mrs. Robin chose to build.
 Perhaps there is moral lesson in the difference between this nest and another on the White House grounds. It is in a swaying tree, far from the paternal protection of the President.
 This robin, who cared more for beauty than security, built his nest by weaving together the bright CO., ored strips of red and green paper from the childrenS baSkets-leav- ings from the Easter Monday egg rolling.
 Gardener William Reeves says, Its one of the prettiest nests I ever did see. But it's awfully ex- posed. The first high wind will blow it down.

Stepchild of the NOrthland on Threshold
 Of Prosperity

Seattle Times)
 Comprehensive plans for the development of AL ska have been prepared by the Pacific Northwest planning commission. Among its proposals is one for the preparation of settlement opportunities in- voving 25,000 families through reclamation of 100000 acres of fertile crop lands
 As matter of cold hard fact, why should there not be developed in the Northland population parable, in many ways, with that which has made Norway and Sweden garden spots of Northern Eu- 0pe?
 Weather conditions much the same in the Deep streams in the Atlantic and the Pacific furnish warmth to much of the involved errtory. Inland, of course, is very cold in both istricts but the summers warm, the vegetation heavy and the crop yields have proved bounteous
 Alaska has been stepchild of the United States fought for song from Russia, it has paid back the investment many times in any of number products. It is continuing to pay back. Its re- ources have not yet been well scratched and his holds true of gold as it does of fish furs
 After this war, Alaska will not be the old famil- territory It will be changed greatly. It will strong attachments of soldiers and airmen toned there. Its arfieds will offer facilities for hundreds of peace time machines It is well to look head and plan for the employment of all things hat will build up the country.
 It was in this way that the United States was developed. Change with prodgious effort, but it came. Given similar opportunities, Alaska will not disappoint its people or this nation

ed some of the Boeing leaders on the ground that they were left wingers. The company then dis missed them for the same reason. So they bolted to the rival CIO United Auto Workers, which is mak ing a drive to capture all aviation plants.
 Last week Wyndham Mortimer, JAW official, arrived in Seattle and held a secret meeting with these busted leaders and small group ot their followers still employed in the plant. Two plans were agreed OF:
 One, to throw picket line of wo- men around the hotel occupied by Harvey Brown, machinists' president who was also in Seattle, denounc- ing him for the custer of the left wingers Two, to start an uproar in the plant the next afternoon and stampede the men into a work stoppage.
 Purpose of this proposed strike was to compel the company to re- instate the busted left-wingers, to reopen the contract they had nego- tiated, and to recognize the JAW as a bargaining unit No question of hours or wages was involved. It was purely case of group of leftists getting together with a nigh JAW official to disrupt production in a vital defense plant for their own ends.
 The picket plan went through. But, apprised of what was coming, local authorities and AFL officials took prompt steps to block it, and there has been no walk-out yet.

MONDAY. MAY 12

This should be a fairly fortunate day, for it is ruled by a benefic aspect which encourages progress and development in all human &C., tivities.
 Heart and Home: Girls should employ this day in serious prepara- tion for future vacations. It is promising to college students and to men and women who are pursu- ing new varieties of works In chem istry and certain lines of engineer ing it is foretold that women will be employed, even as machinists While this configuration prevails there should be strict attention to business affairs and avoidance of domestic or sentimental problems.
 National Issues: Patriotism is to be lived in the United States in coming months when there will be gradual unity of thought and pur- pose. Class consciousness will be overcome by practical demcnstra- tion of the real meaning of democ- racy. While sacrifices will appear to be unequal among those who are called to defense training, the seers declare that civilians should emulate those who give most to the service of their country.
 International Affairs: There is a portent of illness or narrow escape from extreme danger for Winston Churchill whom astrologers have warned to conserve his health. He is to be fortunate however, in the most terrible of periods this sum- mer. While there is an omen O. severe trial for Britain ultimate victory is read in the stars, In the United States as well as in England famous men and women will end their careers before the autumn, it is foretold. To the young will fall the burden of delivering democracy

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compe"
SUNDAY, MAY Il

Adverse planetary aspects domin- ate today Neptune is in kindly sway, but the full Moon of this date is read as presaging plotting and extensive underhand work by the Axis powers. Internal troubles in both Germany and Italy are in- dicated.
 Heart and Home Increasing in- terest in religious subjects will be widespread in coming months. While Bible study will engross per- sons of all ages there will also be exploration of psychic realms. Truth will be interpreted in many ways, but the long established creeds will gain most adherents. Churches will extend their spheres of activity. Home life will be ad- justed to simpler and more aspiring ideals of life as social and econom- ic changes take place gradually n the United States.
 National Issues: Isolationists will discover that the greatest of de- mocracies is deeply involved in the struggle to preserve civilization, but there will be criticism of Admin istration policies despite grave per- ills for the nation. History is to be written even more rapidly than in 1940 and decisive events may be expected Britain is to survive ter rible tests. Defeatist propaganda will continue to be widely circulat- ed but the stars seem to presage seeming Nazi progress which will awaken all the Americas.
 International Affairs. Agrarian riots are forecast for India where the death of political leader will cause anxiety in England. Mars and Uranus are in positions read as likely to encourage uprisings in Central America. This date long has been designated as likely to be marked by adverse happenings in the Western Hemisphere. The Pa cific Coast may be the scene Of exciting incidents to which nature may contribute an earthquake or a tidal wave.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of year of ups and downs. It is wise to avoid all business ventures and to safeguard the health.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will have eventful lives. They may be highstrung and sensitive. Talented boys and girls belong to this decan of Taurus.

 MANEUvER NOW

MOSCOW, May 10.-Russia has withdrawn recognition of Yugo- slavia, Belgium and Norway as sov- ereign states. The action is in- terpreted as indicating a new under standing with Germany and it is believed that Premier Joseph Stalin is personally settling differences with Germany over Nazi penetration of the Balkans in order to maintain the Soviet policy of peace and neu- trality.
 Whether Russia will now join the Axis is not known. Russia refused to do so last November.
