pipe when he was a very young
boy. Although it began as
hobby, he became so interested
in it that he frequently visited
Scotland and entered some OF
their competitions. Then he
brought back his experiences to
this country and began teaching
others to play the bagpipe. Now.
OF course, he's terribly good at
it. So Saturday he played for
the boys and girls and they
loved it! Soon boys who had
never even heard a bagpipe be-
fore were following him around
the room to the strains Of the
music. Then Sergt. Tom Tasker

 R"'nfe-cementS in Malaga
 h Ma ava the Japs have driv- en scores of miles thru some of the mast difficult country in the world to the environs of Singa- pore, only major naval and air base of the United Nations in the Far East. Reinforcements of air power and man power are pro- b2bly now arriving, with others on the way; heavy forces are mustering in Burma on the flank of the Jap drive to the south, and backstop of men, machin- es, ships and plane and material is being built up in Australia. A unified command has been set up in the Far East and the Jap land ings in the Indies probably have been costly.
 In the long view, the outcome of the struggle for the Malay Barrier is dependent primarily on factors: first, the Japanese ability 10 command comnunica- tion routes to the Indies and Singapore; second, the Japanese ability to repla ace losses; third, the ability of the United Nations to overcome great geographical distances and to supply and re- infOrce their forces in the Far East The first factor is not yet worked fully in Japanese favor. The China Sea is not completely shut off. and altho our direct sup ply routes to the Far East have been cut by the capture of Wake and Guam, the somewhat feeble Jap rads have not cut the south ern route 10 Australia and have not severed the western approach via the Atlantic, Africa, the In dian Ocean and Burma 10 the Malay Barrier. The second factor is clearly dependent upon the eX- tent and duration of Japanese losses. If her losses are heavy and mounting her industrial cap acity probably will not be able, over a protracted period, to cope with them.
 Geography Favors Japanese
 The third factor - geography, works for Japan but not entirely so. 1t takes a conway about 30 days or more by the shortest safe routes to reach Australia; it might require another weeks or more for its contents 10 be un- loaded and redistributed to strat egic points in the Malay Barrier. This is huge and-given the worlds shipping shortage, 9 very major handicap. Yet Japan's strength is widely dispersed, per haps dangerously so, and in time as the volume of shipping avail able to the United Nations in creases, our problem of carrying supplies to the Far East should be eased
 The prospects are for a hard struggle and continued but slow ed Japanese gains. The prospects are dark but by no means hope less. The prospects are those of all wars-grim struggle and long endurance and the victory to him who is of the stoutest heart.

NEWSPAPERS HIT IN NE "
 YORK STRIKE
Carriers Deliverers Balk Delivery of All
 DaiIies

NEW YORK, Dec. 16-A deliver CTS strike today blocked distribution of most of New York's major daily newspapers to millions of metro- pohtan readers in the first tieup of it's kind in 19 years.
 It prompted an appeal by the War Labor Board that the workers re- turn to their jobs. The board labeled the stoppage violation of labor's no-strike pledge, although the union is independent and claimed it was not bound by the pledge of the major unions.
 Four morning newspapers, ex- elusive of financial dailies, failed to reach the newsstands and homes, and likewise the four evening Man haitian dailies were unable to get their first editions in the hands of readers this afternoon.
 The union sought a IS percent wage increase The raise would have increased the lowest paid union members wages by $6.60 a week. The arbitrator had awared a $3 increase, retroactive, but this was turned down by the union. The publishers had affirmed this award.

ROUGH TRIP IS
 MADE BY GRAFT
 FROM KETCHIkAN

Arriving in Juneau last night after a 35-hour trip from Ketchikan in his halibut boat, the Explorer, Mag nus Hanson, skipper, said he and his passengers considered them selves lucky to have reached port ahead of the worst of the storm
 Leaving Ketchikan at Il a. m. Monday, the vessel made but one brief stop, at Petersburg, to let a passenger off. Wind, snow and high seas made the trip the toughest he had ever experienced, one of the passengers said, and the vessel which ordinarily makes about 8 knots, averaged 3la knots an hour.
 The Explorer, it will be recalled, was the craft which rescued sur vivors of the wrecked Northwestern, several years ago.
 In addition to the crew of five passengers who were lucky enough to get passage on the vessel were Robert E. Coughlin, Clerk of the U. s. District Court; Olaf Hellar; Asker Jurgensen, William J. Man they, local contractor; Jack Golvin, and Glen J. Kirkham, who returned to Douglas and plans to enter some branch of the armed services.

STAR AIRLINES
 BUY LAvERY,
 P0LLACK FIRMS
CAB Certificates Should d Benefit Alaska Avia-
 lion, Official Says

Announcement of the purchase by Alaska Star Airlines of the Pol lack and Lavery air lines was an nounced by H. w Robinson, Vice. ! President and General Manager ot the Alaska Star Airlines who is now in Juneau on his way south on company business.
 With the acquisition of the La very company, which purchase was concluded on November IS, three planes, a hangar, shop, m ot 0 l cars and tractors were added to the Alaska Star equipment. The Lavery airways has operated for a number of years between An chorage and Fairbanks.
 With the Pollack Airways, pur- chased on December l, Alaska Star Airlines acquired II planes, two hangars, a shop in Fairbanks and two tractors.
 Purchase of the two companies brings the number of planes which will be operated by Alaska Star to 40. MT. Robinson said.
 The Pollack company operated between Whitehorse and Fairbanks and had three mail routes to the Interior districts out of Fairbanks. Frank Pollack, former owner of the company, will remain with AL aska Star Airlines in charge of operations out of Fairbanks to Anchorage, Nome and Interior dis tricts according to MT Robinson. Bill Lavery, former owner of the Lavery company, is now flying for Northwest Airlines.
 More Efficient
 Through the purchase of the two companies and pooling of the equipment, it will be possible to establish much more efficient op- eration and avoid duplication of routes as well as to use the equip

ment to the maximum advantage, MT. Robinson said. We now have more business than we can prop erly handle and it is my hope on my present trip south to obtain additional personnel and equip ment," he stated.
 Improve Transportation
 While it is hard to say exactly what the granting of Certificates of Operation to the various air ways companies in Alaska will mean to the individual companies, it will probably result in a great in air transportation in Alaska, and an increase in the of mail routes throughout the Territory, MT. Robinson said, in regard to the announcement that appeared in last nights Elm pire.
 Under the granting of certificates of operation, the carriers will be permanent carriers over the route to them Rates will be determined by hearings before the Civil Aeronautics Board at which all details of operation are taken into consideration.
 Tt is my opinion that it will open up the Territory as far as aviation goes, much more rapidly than would be the case otherwise and is putting air operation in the Territory on the same basis as it is in the United States proper" he said.
 MT Robinson will leave this week for the south to be away for at least two weeks and may con- .inue to New York before return ing to his headquarters in An ehorage.
