HITLER IS
 EXTENDING
 WAR DRAFT
Scouts Conquered Coun- tries for Mdnpower-
 Compulsory Service

BERN, Sept. 4.-Reports of Ger man efforts to raise troops in oc- cupied Norway, Alsace-Lorraine and Estonia, indicate that Hitler is starting his fourth year of war by securing Europe for manpower with no source too small to be tapped.
 A Berlin dispatch said that Nazi civil administration in Alsace-Lor- raine has extended compulsory mili- tary service to that former French region, whose men previously could serve only on voluntary basis
 In Estonia, Nazi administrators announced Hitler has given his permission" for establishment of an Estonian legion. Volunteers once signed must serve for the duration.
 In Norway where the call for volunteers is said to have had vir- tually no response, Quislingites of military age are reported being mo- bilized for action against the Soy- jets.

FIGHTING IN SUBURBS OF
 STALINGRAD
Reinforced Germans Thrust Into Immediate Ap-
 brooches of City
(By Associated Press)

On the Russian front today, Nazi headquarters asserted that German troops have fought their way to the western suburbs of Stalingrad
 Tass, the official Soviet news agency, acknowledged that fighting is in process on the immediate ap- breaches" to the city and their dispatches said that battles with out precedent in violence are rag ing on the northern and southern approaches to the city.
 General Ledor Von Book threw 25 divisions, or upwards of 375,000 troops into the assault.
 "Hitler's tank columns, decimated previous engagements, have been considerably replenished," Tass said German planes are reported att tacking the city regularly in waves of l50 or more.
 In the Caucasus, Hitler's field headquarters say that German troops have crossed the Kerch strait between the Crimea and the Caucasus mainland and are now attacking Russian defenses on the Black Sea coast.

The morale damaging puzzle of why Alaskans have been receiving their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals from the States, so badly mutilated by censors' shears as to be hardly worth start ing the morning fire with, was on the way to being solved today with the return to Juneau of Gov. Ernest Gruening.
 Alaska's chief executive arrived by plane yesterday afternoon, back from a trip to San Francisco on matters relating to the Territory's defense and other problems. He brought word from Lieut.. Gen. John L. Dewitt, head of the West ern Defense Command, that the commanding generals office has had nothing to do with the prac- tice of clipping incoming publica- tions, and, in addition, considers such censorship unnecessary and unjustifiable.
 No Military Reason
 Thus, the discriminating proced- ure seems to be entirely placed in the hands of a civilian agency, the Office of Censorship. And the reas- on for such censorship, it is indi- cated by Gen. DeWitt's attitude, has no bearing on the military se- curity of the Territory because the commanding general of the Vest ern Defense Command, himself vi- tally interested in the military se- curity, declares the practice of clip ping publications unnecessary.
 The Governors statement on the subject follows:
 q think it important for the people of Alaska to know that as far as the Western Defense Com mand-which has military respon- sibility for Alaska-is concerned, it has no desire, thought or purpose of censoring for Alaska any con- munications or publications that have appeared in print in the Unit ed States proper and have there fore presumably been subject to the rules and regulations of censorship

 MINISTER
 IS FIRED
Gen. Franco Removes Own Brother -in-LdW as
 Foreign Official
(By Assocaited Press)

It is officially announced in Ma drid that ardent pro-Nazis Ramon Serrano Suner, brother-in-law of Generalissimo Franco, has been busted as Foreign Minister by Franco himself.
 The busting of Suner is accepted in the United Nations as 8 slight lifting of the clouds in that corner of the Mediterranean and on the other hand, Axis sources showed restraint and suggested that Gen. Franco is being asked to explain why he has busted the ardent pro- Nazist.
 German newspapers generally be- trayed surprise at the shift in the Foreign Ministry particularly be- cause Suner just recently returned from important conversations in Rome and the Vatican City.
 Scandinavian newspapers attrib- uted Suners dismissal to Franco's determination to keep Spain neu- tral.

DIRECT HITS ARE SCORED
 MANY AREAS
Enemy Troops Sirdfed by Devastating Aifdeks,
 Aerial Offensive
(By Associated Press)

American and Allied warplanes are smashing across the far Pacific skies on a 3,500-mile front, and are officially credited with inflicting havoc on Japan's invasion armies from China to the Solomons.
 Tn China, a bulletin from Gen. Joseph Stilwell's headquarters an- nounced that Army fliers have scored direct bomb hits on Japanese head- quarters at Nanchang and have blasted fleet of 25 big troop-laden junks, probably sinking seven Jap steamers.
 On Other Flights
 Heavy casualties were inflicted on the Japanese and number of boats were burned.
 "In another flight the fliers straf- ed Japanese troop-laden train of 12 cars going north on the Kiukiang- Nanchang Railway. The train was loaded with army trucks. artillery and horses. The locomotive was de- stroyed and heavy damage was caused to material.
 Tn the afternoon, American fighters bombed Nanchang in the ecngested Japanese area northwest of town, where many hits were scor- ed. Direct hits were made on head quarters and large warehouses.
 Lose One U. s. Plane
 These are highlights of devas- tating United States aerial offensive carried out with the loss of only a single American plane. Moreover the American Air Force Sky Drag ons, as the admiring Chinese de- scribe them, are reported to have shot down five Japanese planes yes- terday in a battle over Kweilin in Chekiang Province.
 In the southwest Pacific, Allied bombers set big fires raging at the Japanese base at Salamaua. New Guinea, and bombed enemy sea- planes at Faisi. They destroyed fuel dumps at Baku and targets at Kieta, all in the upper Solomons. and machinegunned Japanese troops in the Kokoda area on New Guinea and pounded seaborne Jap forces in the lower Solomons.

DeWin Tells Gruening Clipping of Newspapers

existing throughout the country.
 Dewitt Sends Opinion
 q have just discussed this mat ter specifically in San Francisco with Lieut.. Gen. John L. Dewitt, head of the Western Defense Com mand. He assured me, and gave me permission to quote him, that he deemed such censorship un- necessary and unjustifiable.
 Whatever clipping of newspapers or interference with news dispatch es is now taking place or may take place henceforth may be ascribed directly to the Office of Censor ship in Washington "a civilian agency.
 "As it is clear that no military reason or justification exists for this practice, I shall, needless to say, continue my efforts to the utmost extent to cause its abro- gation. I consider it not only thoroughly unjustifiable but in furious to the morale of Alaskans and of our armed forces here, and therefore positively objectionable.
 Asks Information
 T desire to receive at my office in Juneau any information on the subject of American newspapers and magazines arriving in Alaska which have been mutilated by cen sors, and information concerning the deletion of material from news dispatches printed in the AS states.
 The practice of censorship was one of the chief subjects for dis cussion at the recent initial meet ing of the Alaska War Council which adopted a resolution con- demning the practice of clipping The resolution charged among other things that the scissors work on the part of the postal censors was waste of time and the taxpayers money.
 All Alaskans wishing to submit examples of such censorship should mail or bring their complaints in person to the Governors Office, Federal Building, Juneau, Alaska.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMaJor Robert S. Allen on active duty.)


 WASHINGTON that Josef Stalin himself has publicly an- nounced that Russia stands in greater danger than ever before in history, it is possible to reveal that Stalin did some equally plan talk ing to Winston Churchill in Mos cow
 Newspaper accounts featured the state banquet given to Churchill the toasts, the champagne, the caviar, the pleasant social side of the visit.
 But in his across -the-tabl talks with Churchill, with only two in- terpreters present, Stalin was not at all rosy. He laid it on the line then, just as he did later in his public statement, and just as his ambassadors have to the British and American Governments-that Russia was in extreme danger and that a second front must be set up immediately.
 Stalin engaged in some extreme ly tough talking, and despite the cheerful press dispatches cabled from London, Churchill felt any, thing but happy as a result of his Russian visit.

Mai. Kermit Roosevelt Takes Part in Alaska
 Ation Against Japs

AT AN ADVANCED ARMY BASE IN ALASKA, Aug. 24.-(Delayed)- Major Kermit Roosevelt, son of Teddy" and veteran of the first World War and various European fronts in this one. took part in his first action with the Japanese as his enemies when he rode on a bomber mission over Kiska Island.
 Major Roosevelt saw at first hand the difficulties of aerial battle over the Aleutians when fog closed in and prevented any sight of Kiska.
 The Japanese fliers did not brave the clouds or the bombers' guns and offered no opposition to the reconnaissance. Anti-aircraft guns on Kiska also were silent as they usually are when bombers hover over the island in fog.
 Major Roosevelt returned to his quarters here, expressing regret that he was unable to get chance to drop bombs on the Nipponese.
 T never had the pleasure of hav- ing them as enemies before. In the last war, you will remember they were glorious allies"
 Roosevelt warned against under estimating Japanese ability. and said, When returned from Meso- potamia during the last war on my way to transfer from tn British to the American Army, I travelled on a small, 640-ton Japanese cruiser which was doing convoy duty with the Allies. They were very eff cient."
 Roosevelt received his commission as a United States Army officer after he returned from European fronts, including Finland, and Nor way. Roosevelt helped organize British commandos.
