struetive propaganda thru fight
ing for Navy and Army Relief has
PIT his white brothers of Fistiana
ION the spot"
Hype lgoe, ace sports writer and
eolumnist of the n. Y. Journal
American, recently had this to say
to all. CHAMPIONS: "Let me put
my title on the line, like Pvt. Joe
Louis. What the big fellow did, |
can dc and with pleasure at be-
ing able to swell Army and Navy
Relief. Let them know at Wash
mgton that boxing champions will
not fail our comrades loved ones"
lgoe makes it plain that the
white boys hate to part with their
dough for sweet charity, when he
said:
PVT. Joe Louis, soldier, patriot,
champion, having laid his title on
the line in the name of the two
sweetest charities of all, twice, for
NOTHING, it would seem that EV
tRf champion, no matter what
his class, should follow the great
Brown Boy. To peek and pine, pout
and prc.est, haggle and remain
hesitant under such circumstances,
would rum titleholders with the
putlic and brand them forever
more as ring idols who had taken
a fearful fall from grace"

Evd(uees in Southeast
 Alaska Can't vote Says
 Attorney General Roden

Attorney General Henry Roden today said that the natives who have been evacuated to Southeast Alaska from the Westward will not be allowed to vote as residents of the First Division in the General Election next Tuesday.
 The Attorney General stated that his office will follow the opinion found in Washington, that Japan ese evacuees who were eligible vot- CTS in the communities from which they were evacuated, would be all lowed to vote in their former pre- cincts by absentee ballot, and not in the precinct where they are now located.
 MT. Roden said that the natives have been taken to this division against their will and with the in- tention of returning to their homes after the war. He said that the natives would be allowed to cast ab- sentee ballots in the precincts from which they were evacuated by re- questing that such ballots be mailed to them.
 Persons who have been evacuated from their homesites as a result of the war, the Attorney General said. are placed in the same position as soldiers, who still maintain their legal residences in their home towns although stationed elsewhere.

 Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert s. Allen on active duty)


 WASHINGTON-The inside story can now be told of why the Japs were able to land in the Aleutian Islands and bomb the U. s. Naval base at Dutch Harbor with So little opposition. As with most things in this war, the problem goes back to lack of foresight, and also, to some extent. lack of Army Navy cooperation.
 Not generally known is the fact that the Navy in September, 194l, some two months before Pearl Har- bor, refused to let the Army build an air base on Umnak Island to guard the Navy's Dutch Harbor base.
 What happened was that Sen ator Brewster of Maine, member of the Truman Committee and of the Naval Affairs Committee, flew to Alaska last September with Brig ScIl. Al bliul V1AoOAl CO ooNSA Oe@tAi whether Alaska needed further for tifications. At Kodiak they met Brig. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner commander of the Army's forces whose father, a famous Civil Wal commander, once helped to pay Ulysses s. Grants way home from West Point and later surrendered tC Grant in Tennessee.
 Gen. Buckner wanted to go or from Kodiak to Dutch Habor with Senator Brewster, and although the Navy was willing to supply all amphibian plane to the Senator they baked at having Gen. Buck ner go along, referred to him as a ''hitch-hiker
 Finally, however, the party -in- cluding Gen. Buckner, went on tc Dutch Harbor and located an ex- cellent site for flying field or Umnak Island. Immediately upon their return, Senator Brewster ar- ranged for a Senate appropriation bill to build an air base at Umnak while the War Department pre- pared to proceed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. D. The Navy really went into a Hollywood huddle in picking that. title, WAVES" for their women's aux Hilary.
 The simple title was, of course, Women's Naval Auxiliary Corps, or perhaps with the second and third words reversed But in these days of alphabet agencies, that came down to WNACs or WANCs. The first was unpronouncable. The second sounded like the below of bullfrog with Texas twang
 Women's Reserve of the Naval Reserve was also considered and discarded World War I had proved that "yeomanettes" (which was what women serving with the Navy were called in those days) didn't catch on, and besides in the pres- ent set-up the ratings were to be different.
 It was days before some one came up with that WAVES" and the whole Navy started breathing easier.
