ALLIES NOT
CERTAIN OF
End FRONT
Emphasize Strength, Ger.
man Garrisons in
French Areas

LONDON, July 10 - A British
military commentator has confirmed
the Russian reports that some Ger
man divisions recently withdrawn
from occupied France have arrived
on the eastern front, but said that
there is no reduction of the regu-
lar Nazi garrison holding Western
Europe against invasion.
Germans form training divisions
in France and then are sent to
whatever front is required the
commentator declared. He added
that troops have been sent to Rus
STA in this category but asserted
that German garrison forces in
France are mot spearhead troops,
but good soldiers nevertheless.
British promptness to emphasize
the strength OF German garrisons,
plus other indications, led informed
British observers to conclude that
the Western powers feel they are
not in position to open a second
front on the continent this sum-
mer.

CANNERY AWAITING
NEXT SALMON RUN

Cannery tenders in and out the
past few days have had only small
loads of salmon, all under 5000 IN
the aggregate, to. give the crew
limited hours of work per day thus
far. Hardly any fish at all is the
report sent in by the seiners. But
salmon can be seen jumping in
large numbers outside and it seems
only a question of time until they
come to inside waters and then
there will be plenty of activity all
around.

Members of the committee said
they are tired of hearing Alaska
news on the short wave radio and
never getting more complete de-
tails in their own newspapers due
to censorship.
Council Takes Action

dorsed the Ketchikan Defense Coun-
cil's protest to censorship on news in
Alaska, Mayor Harry Mccain saying
"Alaskans are told everything is rosy
then asked not to be complacent
Alaskans know how to take it and
we should have the plain truth"
Councilman Jack Talbot, who in
PRODUCED the motion to approve the
defense groups protest, said: at does
not make any difference whether the
occupied islands are inhabitated or
not. The point is the Japs are in
our own backyard. We are entitled
know as much as our neighbors in
Canada and the States know about
these unwelcome visitors"

NOW SHOWING
AT TWENTIETH
Murder Mystery, Cowboy
Drama Share Double
Bill in Juneau

"Doodling" is sin-and it's
proved in a most amusing manner
in the mystery thriller, Murder
Among Friends which opened last
night at the Goth Century Theatre.
Featuring Marjorie Weaver and
John Hubbard at the head of
splendid cast, the murders come
fast and furious-as do the laughs
and thrills-but it is the "doodling"
which finally trips the culprit.
1t seems that the "doodler", who
is also the murderer of five joint
holders of a tontine insurance pol
icy. doesn't realize he COR she) IS
"doodler"-and as each victims
body is found, along side is magr-
zine with a moustache "doodled" on
the face of an illustration. It's all
very puzzling-and 1t makes for
top-notch entertainment-for with
it all go some grand gags and well
worked out dialogue
Jack Randall, ace western star,
rode across the screen of the goth
Century Theatre yesterday and won
the thunderous applause of the To-
cal fans in another Monogram
thrilling action-packed western
drama, THE Kid From Santa Fe,"
sharing the double bill.
This exciting production has RAN
call in the role of devil-may-
care cowboy who breaks up
smuggling gang 1t is one of his
best pictures to date chiefly be-
cause of the well-knit story and ex-
pert direction.

which used to follow every change
of administration.
1t was an uphill fight and GER
tainly NOT a very popular one
Every time he extended the civil
service act, he cut off juicy slice
of his colleagues patronage.
BY all rights, he should be a
most unpopular man. But the fact
that Bob" Ramspeck mo one
knows him by any other name) was
appointed to succeed the extremely
competent late Rep. Pat Boland ii
Pennsylvania as party whip proves
otherwise. His appointment makes
him the No. party man in the
House, rating only below Speake,
Rayburn and Majority Leader Mac
Cormack, and will put him in line
eventually for a shot at the speak
ership.
Proof of the confidence of his
party colleagues is found also in
his appointment on the heels of
The miscalled pensions" bill furore
Ramspeck was the author of the
original bill and as such it was
about as harmless security mea-
sure as ever put in its appearance,
merely making it possible for the
congressman to pay, during incum-
bency, for retirement benefits out
of their own pockets.
The appointment came, too. after
Ramspeck had been handed the
tail of another highly controversial
bull, management of the proposal
for time -and-a-half pay over 40
hours for government workers. Un-
daunted by that, Ramspeck has in
troduced his own measure-a $500 a
year bonus for the majority of gov
eminent workers during wartime.
The job of party whip is vital
one. It's up to him to see that all
members are present for the vote
on important legislation; to know
just how the vote is going to be on
all measures and to keep the lead
er informed of that division.
Boland had raised the job to one
of high efficiency, dividing his WORK
among assistant whips" who could
IN a short time check the ma jority
party opinion on almost any mea-
sure Ramspeck already has said
that he is carrying on the Boland
system.
In appearance, Ramspeck is quiet
studious- appearing, pleasant south
erner. He has spent 81 of his 80
years in city, state and federal
government work. Watching over
voting machinery in the House will
be nothing new to Ramspeck. News
men on the Hill and many of his
colleagues have been running to
Ramspeck more and more in re-
cent years to find out which way
the wind was blowing. He nearly
always knew, too.

tees for their services and all 9TH

CCC IN ALASKA
IS LIQUIDATED
AFTER 9 YEARS

The Civilian Conservation Corps,
one of the earliest New Deal agen-
cies, is being liquidated. AS the
program comes to a close, the ac-
complishments and contributions OF
that portion of the CCC in Alaska
that is under the direction of the
Forest Service are briefly reviewed
The Alaska CCC has progressed
through several phases of develop
ment during the past nine years.
When organized in 1888, its chief
detectives were the alienation of
unemployment and the accomplish
ment of needed work projects. The
majority of the enrollees were I'M
employed whites from the States
who had come north in search of
employment The regular 200-men
camps familiar in the States seemed
impractical for Alaska because of
its great size, sparse population and
limited transportation facilities.
Small camps accommodating thirty
to sixty-five enrollees were there
for constructed. The Forest Ser
vice undertook the entire supervis-
ion of the CCC program, with the
sole exception of the payment OF
accounts which was handled by the
War Department. In addition to
directing and supervising the work
program, the Forest Service handled
the enrolment, feeding and cloth
ing of the men, recreation, educa-
ton, medical attention and other
camp administration activities. In
the States, all of the above, except
the direction and supervising of the
work, has been handled by the
Army.
Included EskimOs
In 1887 the program was ex-
banded to include the Eskimos in
the Arctic regions. The work pro-
gram was successful but supervision
was difficult since the crews were
located in extremely isolated and
distant areas and transportation
was limited to airplanes and dog
teams. Also there was danger that
regular monthly pay check might
disrupt the Eskimo economy to
such an extent that it would be
more difficult to get along after
the CCC program was ended. There
fore, in 1889, the Eskimo portion of
the program was discontinued On
April l, 1910, the General Land Of
flee assumed supervision of all
other CCC activities in Interior
Alaska and the Forest Service since
then has confined its activities to
the National Forests.
During the last two years, the
economic conditions in the Terri
tory have changed to the point
where very few whites are unem-
ployed and as result, the great
majority of enrollees have been In
dams. The program is particularly
well adapted to their needs since
their chief occupations are in the
highly seasonable fishing and can
ming industries. They are there
fore enrolled only during the winter
months when other work is nom
existent. They live at home with
their families and work on prof.
ects that have high value to their
local communities
