Magnuson Says War Sifua- lion in Alaska Now
 "Very Good

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. = Rep. Warren G. Magnuson of Washing ton, back from a trip to Alaska, declares that the war situation m Alaska is very good"
 He told a reporter that joint Army Navy command now is clearly offensive minded over the occupa- tion of two of the Aleutians, that the occupation definitely has been turned to our advantage by the Navy and it is giving us an oppor- tunity to sink Jap ships we other wise would be unable to get to- He said that our new offensive has clipped Japan's wings if she had any idea of using the Aleu- tlans as a stepping stone for an attack against Alaska and that the morale of the fighting forces in the Territory is very good.'
 Needs Cited
 The congressman said, however, that they need more supplies and modern airplanes but that the Army and Navy are aware of the situa- tion and I'm sure they will remedy it.
 Tt is a great problem for our fighting forces to get men adjusted to the new type of life. They need more recreational facilities. "The Alaskan front is the tough est in the world" he said, either for Japan or the United States

WASHINGTON - Inside truth about the Presidents Labor Day message on imitation is that he wrote it himself over the weekend after his aides had written draft after draft, failed to agree among themselves on any of them.
 When the President decided to ask Congress to give him broader authority to control farm prices he had on his desk an opinion from the Department of Justice, saying he had power to act without further legislation, But he also had mem oranda from several of his most trusted advisers, urging him not to override Congressional insistence on no per cent parity by executive order.
 The men who supposedly had been drafting the imitation program didn't know what the decision was until the message went to Congress.
 NOTE: One of the early advocates of an economic czar" was Leon Henderson, who saw this as a means of curbing the War Labor Board and checking the rise of wages. But when the Presidents drafters framed the order creating a czar, this czar had power, also, over Henderson's Office of Price Admin istration. so at the end Henderson was a violent opponent of overall economic control centered in one man.

 FOOD LACK
Wi(kard Warns that SoIu- lion of Manpower Prom

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of Agricul- ture, said today that unless i've find some way to deal with farm labor problems and farm production sat isfactorily, we must find some way in the not too distant future to deal with shortage of food"
 Testifying before the House Agri- cultural Committee about the grow ing farm labor shortage, Wickard suggested "a national labor service act should be given consideration
 While 1942 food production reach ed a record high, Wickard told the committee the future is much dark err since much of the labor of the 1922 crop was performed before the United States entered the war.
 He estimated that by the end of 1943, farms might lose as many as two million more men to the armed forces and industry, on an estimate based on on army of eight to ten million men by end of next year.

MOSCOW, Sept. 23.-A new racial policy, dividing the vaguely defined Nordic Race into full valued" and "devalued" clements, has been out lined by Adolf Hitler, 'Tass news agency reported today in dispatches from Stockholm.
 ''The division into first class and second class Morales has become necessary because the Morales living on the periphery of Germany have allowed themselves to become de- based by inferior foreign elements" Tass asserted.
 The dispatches quoted curious secret document said to be circulated among German authorities in occu- pied Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands. =
 The failure of Morales who live on the contaminated periphery of the German racial center to resist effectively the decline of their racial standards has established their unfitness to be classed as Morales of the first order. the document said.

(By Associated Press)

Under terrible coordinated at- tacke of massed tanks and waves of dive bombers, the Russians have yielded several more streets in one section of Stalingrad, but have beat en off the Germans in hand-to- hand battle elsewhere in the city. where the invaders are said to have paid toll of almost 5000 men in the three-day battle. Gains are only measured by yards.
 Nazis Driven Out
 Battlefront dispatches said the Red Army forces crossed the Volga under cover of darkness and fell on one flank of the German penetra- ton of the devastated city and drove them from their positions.
 An important road is reported to have been recaptured by the defend- CTS in house-to-h fighting in another sector of the city while southwest of the city the Russians are said to have retaken a village.
 Sky Is Plane Fiecked
 The Pravda. newspaper, says the sky over Stalingrad is battlefield itself, flecked by planes, the Nazis making more than 1000 bombing flights in a single day against re- inforced Soviet fighter plane de- lenses.
 Tanks have been brought up to bolster Hitler's desperate bid for September victory on the Volga and it is declared he has hurled them against the defending infantrymen. He has massed hundreds of tanks in a single sector, attacking the infantrymen in perhaps the greatest armored shock force ever used.
 Severe Street Fighting
 In street fighting, the Army news paper Red Star says, street booths have been overturned and autos have been used as firing points.
 Hard fighting has developed at street intersections. the Germans in some cases firing buildings on one corner while the Red Army forces blasted away at the opposite side

mitteeman Frank d. Mckay Of

paign of 1888. but the funds ulti-
mately reached Mckay.
The defendant was acquitted a
month ago of a mail fraud con-

Aims Of Charter Unit
Held Identical With
County Independents
Democratic Officials
Soy Both Groups Seek
Power in Montgomery

A charge that the aims Of the
Montgomery County MD Charter
Committee are identical with those
of the recently-organized Independ-
ent party in the county, which is
composed of Republicans and anti
organization Democrats. was made
today by Joseph A. Cantrel and
J. Bond Smith, co-chairmen Of the
Publicity Committee of the county's
United Democratic Organization.
The statement was the latest in
an exchange between proponents
and opponents OF the proposal to
establish a charter form of govern
ment in Montgomery County. Allen
H. Gardner is chairman Of the
committee in charge of the charter
movement.
Despite the reputation of his
group by the Independent party,
Messrs. Cantrel and Smith declared
that both the Charter Committee
and the Independent party "are Re-
publican anti Roosevelt inspired: ::
both seek power for themselves and
s" both hope to gain their ends
through destruction of the party
system of voting in Montgomery
County"
Brookings Institution Cited.
Asserting that both groups rely
on the Brookings Institution recon-
mendation that the two-party sys-
tenn be eliminated" the two men
pointed out that in its report on the
county government, the Brookings
!, survey condemns county govern
ment constituted entirely or almos
entirely Of members of one party ;
Neither the Independent party mol
the Charter Committee have "any
political convictions, Messrs. Cantre
and Smith said. "and both are
quite willing to surrender politica
identity"
In another statement issued TODAY
Mrs. Walter Perry of the Board O
Directors of the Charter Committe
demanded to know why opposition t.
the charter movement has com
