Arthur felt suddenly as If he were
back In that elevator taking that drop
whose beginning and ending were 50
close together. Even Jim noted how
white he got, and then how red and
saved him from collapse by leading
him aside to say:
by the way, Nina called me I'D and
asked me TO tell you that Sheldon Is
terribly jealous, and it's Just as well
he doesn't learn that you and she
were lovers years ago. Nina trusts you
not TO remind him"
"She can trust me-" said Arthur,
with as much certainty as he had
ever felt about anything in his life.
When Sheldon Brown and Nina ap-
peared at the end Of the corridor
Arthur had time to wonder how he
could ever have been so infatuated
with such a woman. OF course, he had
not met VI then. Evidently they were
still purveytng blonditude in bottles.
He wished vi could see Nina now.
That is, he wished it and he didn't
wish it.
When Jim presented mr.. Todd" to
Mrs. Spencer both bowed as if they
had never seen each other before, and
hadn't missed much. Brown excused
himself to order the dinner while the
others went into the cocktail lounge.

He was about to defend his waist |

RUSSO-GERMAN WAR

War conditions in Russia still remain a deep and dark secret, 50 far as definite knowledge and a complete survey are concern ed. but it will hardly do to pass them over without a few words. Reports from either side cannot be relied upon as being of the George Washington cherry tree story variety. Although commen- tators speak with caution, there are indications that the Nazi ad- vance has not turned out to be the Walk-over that was promis- ed. The comfort to be obtained from that negative statement is limited The world is in a bad way when it has to be content with simply bother.ng someone who would own it, rather than giving him sound thrashing. Nevertheless, the northern drive has to be checked before it can be flung back.

TOKYO, Aug. = The Japanese newspaper Asahi featured a dis patch assertedly from San Fran cisco, reporting Ambassador to Washington Nomura urged Pac- fife Coast Japanese to remain composed and do their best to work for the sake of rebuilding Japanese-American relations.
 Ambassador Nonura's message was brought to the coast by Con- sul General Yoshio Muto of San Francisco, who returned from a Washington conferensce with No mura. Consul Muto revealed he conferred with Nomura regard ing frozen Japanese assets and shipping, and said he was certain authorities of the two nations could come to some conclusion concerning these issues in the near future.
 He a so announced confer ence of Japanese consuls to be held soon on the Pacific Coast to discuss problems of Japanese residents.

NEW TAX BILL

After giving the tax bill con- sideration since about the first ot May, the Ways and Means Com mittee of the House has some thing definite to lay before tha, body. Dealing with round num- bers, three and one-half billion is asked, an increase of twenty nine million over and above the figure set by the Secretary of the Treasury five months ago History is said to record no tax levy of like magnitude.

A long tempestuous voyage around Cape Horn is quite an other. The loss of a cargo ship or two, and the outlay incident to the use of few tons of ex- plosives, would be a small price to pay for closed canal. AS to the sacrifice of thousand lives more or less, Japan would not take that into consideration at al.

LAPS IN INDO-CHINA

In consenting to something far more definite than dicker with Japan regarding bases in French Indo-China, the Vichy govern ment said that it saw no incon- venience in permitting Japan to occupy bases temporarily, and that protection" against English and Free-French aggression alone was desired. This has a strangely familiar sound. It is a devout chanting from the Nazi- German hymn book by a French choir, which would be a humor- ouS performance under condi- tions less serious than those ot the present.

 A boost in income taxes, felt most peenly in the middle brack cts, is practically certain. Estate and gift taxes will contribute their share. The list of excise col let'ions is long, including such widely separate items as matches and the use of yachts, auto tires and refrigerators, ad soft drinks and radios. Those who like to look upon an undefaced country side will shed no tears over a bill board tax. The friends of chewing gum were many and Toy al, and it went scot free.

Officers With- out Desks
(Juneau Empire)

Juneau CIlIp SJ
 Customs officials believe they may have saved some of the South American countries from the Hitler formulae of scare 'em then blitz 'em," recently, when they seized print of the Ger man propaganda film, Victory in the West" which Nazi bund- ist was attempting to smuggle in to the Latin American continent.
 Of course, they can't be sure that other prints of the same film have not slipped past the inspec- tion service and are being shown to private audiences of citizens through Brazil and Argentina.
 After watching the film at a private showing in Washington, D. C., newsmen have declared 1t a masterfuI photographic job, de signed to impress out neighbors to the south with the power of the German war machine. It IS like the earlier Nazi strip of eel luloid propaganda, which pictur- ed the Polish campaign and was aptly entitled Baptism of Fire That was the film which Danish officials were shown to scare them into accepting Nazi de- mands for occupation of Dem mark.
 Particularly impressive, the newsmen reported, were pictur- es of the German army engineers at work, a clue to the reason why the mighty rivers of west ern Europe, and now Russia, have been of little consequence in halting the advance of the Nazi scourge.
 The picture is a documentary film of the invasion of the Low Countries. Dramatic scenes show the advance of troops, with units of engineers swimming rivers, crossing them in rubber boats and building bridges, all the while under enemy shell fire.
 At the end of these tense seen es, the voice of the German com mentator explains:
 'The men were led, not by of- ficers using telephones and writ ten orders, but by officers who lay beside their troops in the same dirt"
 When the last scenes in the pic ture had fickered from the screen, the news hawks and U. $. army officers who had watched the showing stood around and talked in awed voices. Said one officer, who has studied German military methods at some length;
 "The Germans were led by trained warriors, not one of whom ever had a clerk or a desk"
 Reports from Washington these days tell of a quiet movement, being led by General George c. Marshall, Chief of Staff of the Army, to purge the army of the officers who are having difficulty trying to get along without desks to cock their feet on, stenograph CTS to dictate to, clerks to keep the files straight, yes, and even caddies to carry their golf bags.
 We hear, further, that a mea- sure is pending which would made it possible for the army to rid itself of officers, young and old, whose records bear testi- mony of their incompetence. The bill is drawn up and may soon be introduced in either the House or Senate, but it is understood strong prejudice against the mea sure exists in some circles.

Having proclaimed national emergency the President is to be bound by certain limitation. Seiz ure is available only if the pro- perty cannot be secured other wise and there must be just con- pensation. The President must rule that the property is neces- sary for defense purposes. The necessity must be so pressing that delay cannot be tolerated, and other sources must have been exhausted. The law shall cease to be of effect on June 30, 1943. Public opinion undoubted- ly will support the legislation in principle, as it will support the suggestion that the emergency is grave enough to justify the re- tention of selectees and others in military and naval service.

e Current Comments From Washington

The country was startled moi long ago, when legislation was proposed which gave the Presi- dent the power to seize property of any sort, tangible or intan- gible, or capable of being employ ed directly or indirectly, in any way, for national defense. The Senate has passed and sent to the House, bill which, although re- lieving the anxiety somewhat, is sufficient broad nevertheless.

Washington was prompt in making its displeasure known re garding the latest trend in Indo- China affairs. The freezing of Japanese credits was not long de layed, and was seconded by cor responding action in Britain. Jap anese trade in the United States and in England is at standstill. Strong pressure must have been put upon Nippon before she con- sented to so severe an economic crippling.

RANGERS OF FORTUNE" AT
 2OTH CENTURY
Fred MatMurrdy and Pa. frieia Morrison Star in
 Western Epic

A trio of cactus cavaliers with a roar of flying hoofs and shrill "Yi- yipees," carrying with them the charm, the chivalry and the ex- plosive drama of the old Southwest unroll on the screen in Paramount's Rangers of Fortune,' closing to- night at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Into a drama that is epic in duality, scope and action, Para mount has introduced the charm and imaginative directing of Sam Wood. Already famed for his hand ling of Goodbye, Mir Chips" and Our Town" MT Wood here re- veals hitherto unsuspected talents, particularly a flair for furious, smashing action.
 The characterization of the trio of desert marauders, played by Fred MacMurray, Albert Dekker and Gill; bert Roland is the high spot of this delightful film. They are combin- ation, of Robin Hoods gang and The Three Musketeers--thieves, rogues, scoundrels, or knights on horseback as the occasion demands.
 AS the leading characters of the drama, Massfarray and Miss Nor ison are both impressive and con- vincing In addition to young Miss Brewers performance, that of AL bert Dekker as the punch drunk cowboy who uses fight-ring tac- tics to subdue his enemies, is a -> sa

Because delays in steamer sched- Jules have held up the arrival of school teachers in the Territory many territorial schools originally scheduled to open today will be de- layed week or more in opening their doors, 1t was announced today by Dr. James Ryan, Commissioner of Education.
 - For one thing, the jurisdictional strike between stewards and fire men aboard the Baranof here today was delaying the arrival in Cor dova of two teachers for city schools there, Ryan declared.
 The Juneau city schools opened today, but Douglas schools will not start until next week, he stated. Teachers for the Unalaska school have not arrived there yet, nor have the teachers for Dutch Harbar. The teacher for Wiseman will not reach his destination for another week.
