JULY OR ELSE FOR HITLER

No one can ever tell just what
is going on in the Kremlin, but here
is how the diplomatic dispatches ex-
plain the apparent shift of Russia
slightly over to the British side of
the war scale.
1t is now generally agreed by the
best U. S. military observers-and
probably also by the Russians-that
Hitler will have to win this war by
July of this year or else face serious
consequences.
These serious consequences will
be:
l. Tremendously increased NUM-
tons and ship production by the
U. S. A. After July l, American
factories will really get into their
stride.
g. The necessity of finding food
for Europe next winter.
3. The necessity of finding more
oil, especially if the British succeed
in blowing up Rumanian oil wells,
which they definitely plan to do.
4. The necessity of pulling a new
anvil OAG VI Vic w please LllC
German people. So far Hitler
has pulled out new victories at peri
odic intervals-Austria, Czechoslo-
vakia, Poland, Norway, the Low
Countries, France But the rabbits
have come fewer and harder recent
ly. The German people are report
ed to be restless. &
Only answer to these dilemmas is
Russia. The vast and fertile fields
of the Ukraine, rich in wheat, iron
ore and lying just across from the
oil fields of the Caucasus, are sure
to beckon to Hitler.
And if he still is unable to take
England by July, it more than likely
seems that he. will bite off the
Ukraine. This probability increases
if war in the Balkans disrupts the
spring planting. For one reason
why Hitler has been so patient with
Jugoslavia is because the crops of
the Balkans are vital to Germany.
All of which is not being lost. upon
Russia. ..-.

Laziness Grows

Start Saving
 TinfoiI Now

Right now is the time for Juneau residents to start saving tinfoil, so hundreds of pounds of the foil can be sent to Seattle in April when the Juneau schools stage their annual drive for the Orthopedic Hospital there, A. B. Phillips, Superintendent of Schools, told members of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce this noon at the Baranof Hotel.
 This year. besides the tinfoil, other light metal is also wanted. Phillips declared, and suggested that tooth' paste and shaving cream tubes also be saved with the foil.
 Every year, many youngsters from Alaska are treated free at the Seat tie hospital, Phillips pointed out. and such treatment is financed to large extent by these tinfon drives.

Strikes in Defense Work
 Hit by FoIta
Chamber of Com m cree May Send Resolution of
 Protest 10 Washington

Holding that it is inconsistent for the government to ask private citi- zens to make sacrifices in the in terest of national defense and at the same time allow strikes in defense industries to throttle the defense effort, George w. Folta, AL aska Attorney-at-Large for the De- partment of the Interior, today moved that the Juneau Chamber of Commerce pass a resolution protest ing against the defense strikes and forward a copy of the resolution to high officials at Washington.
 Folta expressed the view that leg islation should be passed making stoppage of vital defense work through labor strikes illegal and requiring that any grievances on the part of labor be filed with em- ployers and a Federal labor media tion board given authority to hear complaints and settle all disputes. If this country is to become the arsenal of democracy the wheels of defense industry must be kept turning, he stressed.
 Local Campaign
 Attorney R. E. Robertson, com menting on the same problem, said he believed any resolution passed by the Chamber should also include plans for a public campaign in this community to build up sentiment against such strikes.
 Chamber President Curtis Shat tuck declared the executive board of the civic organization would draft resolution concerning defense strikes at it's meeting next Wednes- day and present it to the Chamber week from today.
 Two key committees were ap- pointed by Shattuck during the Chamber luncheon meeting at the Baranof Hotel.
 Ludwig Nelson, John w. Jones and John Bishop were named as a com- mittee to arrange Christmas decora- tions and general holiday observance in Juneau. Charles w. Carter, We'll man Holbrook and Keith G. Wildes were named on nominating com mittee to propose candidates for Chamber officers next year. A re- port on the nominations is to be made at the November 13 meeting, and during that meeting and the session November 27, nominations may also be made from the floor Annual election of officers will take place December g..
 Cruises to Haines

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Certain animals change their
coats as the seasons go by. One
of these is the Arctic fox. In sum-
ner it has brownish or blue-gray
hair, but in winter its coat becomes
white, to match the snow.
Perhaps most amazing Of all ami
mails which change their coats is
the chameleon. 1t is what we may
call "the quick change artist" of
the animal world.
The name chameleon" is pro-
nounced "kuh- h-MEE-lee-un." 1t
came from the Greek language and
means ground lion"
The chameleon is not a non-it
isn't even furry animal. 1t is a
lizard, lizard with special powers.
Most lizards crawl along with
their bodies touching the ground,
or whatever else they are walking
on. Not so the chameleon; 1t walks
with its body we'll lifted.
The body can swell up great
deal. This comes about when big
breath is taken in. The swelling
of the body may have given rise to
the story that this animal lived on
air. The fact is that it can live for
weeks without food, but at length
1t must eat.
It eats insects. 1t has a long
tongue with a sticky end. When
an insect comes within reach, out
shoots the tongue and in comes the
victim.
The tongue may shoot to a dis

Winning Contract
By THE FOUR ACES.

West led the queen of diamonds
and South shuddered when he saw
the dummy. He could see two heart
tricks, two diamonds and about one
club trick. Four spade tricks were
needed to produce the game, for
the other suits could obviously pro-
duce little but the high cards.
How was he to get four tricks
out of so ragged suit? To begin
with he had to hope that the king
was in the West hand, so that
f1nesse would succeed. Then. in
addition, he had to hope that each
opponent had three spades. And
even if conditions were ideal he
still had to play the suit correctly.
The important point in the play
of the spade suit was to play low
spade from each hand, allowing the
opponents to win the trick. South
did that and won the diamond re-
turn. Then he led his remaining
spade, took deep breath and
flnessed the spade queen.
If it failed he would never get
TO dummy again and would be set
four tricks. But the spade queen
held the trick and the spade ace
cleared the suit South therefore
made his three no-trump contract.
Note, however, that if South had
tried to win the first spade trick he
would have lost the contract. The
Enocco u,oY,iI hui
South would have been unable to
get to dummy after establishing the
spade suit.
