Regional Action Needed On Steel

The fedoubtabe Henry J. Ka.ser has just obtained additional twenty seven million dollars for expan- sion of the little Pittsburgh steel plant he is erect ing in Southern California.
 Why isn't the Pacific Northwest taking steps to meet this reg ons needs for steel by developing an integrat- ed iron and steel industry?
 California has market for it's steel in it's war plants and industries. The Pacific Northwest has a similar market which local steel plants are unable to meet.
 California has to depend upon long rail hauls for many of it's raw materials. The Pacific Northwest has coal Whi na few miles of Puget Sound, and iron and merock in abundance with easy water hauls from British Columbia oTAlaSka If local deposits are un- available
 As matter of fact, most of our readers renem- ber this same Henry J. Kaiser caused great furry, something over year ago, by letting it be known that he was considering the establishment of an iron and steel plant in the Columbia River region.
 Ina was when Mr. Kaiser was having some difficult les in getting prompt delivery of steel for his shipyards Thereafter it appears that this difficulty disappeared and the plans for the Columbia River steel plant were quietly dropped
 It is obvious that the established seel companies which have heir main plants in the East do not want to negraed iron and steel operations this region
 That is no reason why this region should accept the policy
 One reason why integraed iron and steel operations have not been established in the region may lie in lack of regional action.
 We offer practical suggestion. This is that the Seattle and Tacoma Chambers of Commerce appoint small committees of men genuinely interested in sec ing ntegrated iron and steel industry established somewhere in this region, and that these committees

The Nugget Suspending Publication

Ii has never happened before although there is an adage that there is always first time for everything Business conditions loss of population and many other circumstances incident to the have compelled The Nome Nugget to voluntarily suspend publication for this winter.
 The Nome Nugget has been in continuous pubica- ton since the day it started m the fall ot l899 The title of the paper at that time the Nome Daily Chronice' This paper absorbed in the spring ot 1900 by new interests and it's name changed to The Nome Nugget It has passed through many trials and tribuations-fres foods and boycotts-but has never voluntarily been suspended during that time to this,
 Failure to receive supplies, etc. high rates and the other many increases in cost of doing business coupled with the fact that Nome is rapidly becoming an armed camp for the purpose of Wagng war have caused the management to consider all available avenues for the continuation of the paper before reaching the concu- sion that it must be suspended for the winter
 In this decision know that many of our readers and the many business concerns with which do buSl ness will be deprived of what has been for the past forty-two years avenue of common interest in the promotion of the mining and business advantages ot Nome and the Seward Peninsula We regret that we are compelled to make such decision.

Typhus Hits
 Europe Areas

WASHINGTON-The Office of War Information declared that typhus dreaded disabling fever with mortality rate as high as 70 percent, is spreading in Ger man-occupied Europe, because of an absence of vaccination and q breakdown of sanitary controls.
 The typhus area, the govern ment agency declared. is worst ia Eastern Poland and in the conquered regions of Russia, where large numbers of German and other Axis troops are con- centrated.
 The information agency said the German army on the East ern Front is not vaccinated ag- aia5t typhus, and has no pre- Vlous immunity to the disease, and added that typhus has brok en out in Germany among Ger man soldiers, prisoners of war and civilians.
 The situation inside Poland and in Polish territory annexed by Germany lis errible," the agency said.

 It may be advisable to invite the Portland Chamber of Con- merce to join in the presentation. Joint action by Seattle and Tac- oma would, at any rate, start the ball rolling.

Ing about the part pigeons are
playing in the modern world. They
are becoming more important both
in peace and in war.
The birds Of which I speak are
"homers" or "homing pigeons.
They love their homes and when
you take them away they want to
20 back just as soon as possible.
Pigeons were used as messengers
more than 2,4OO years ago. The
ancient Greeks fastened messages
to them and then set them free
so they would fly home. In this
way news Of the Olympic games
was spread more rapidly than could
be done by any other means at that
time.
Records also show that Egyptians,
Romans and Persians OF long ago
employed pigeons. Early sailors
took pigeons on their sailing vessels
and the birds flew home with mes
sages about safe arrival or ship
wreck.
Eight hundred years ago the city
Of Bagdad set up a regular pigeon
mail system. Birds were taken to
cities and towns all over Syria and
then carried messages back to
Bagdad.
The first use of pigeons in war
ESQ far as our records telD took
place almost 1000 years ago. Modena,

the heads OF the Prussians to cities
in France and England. Later the
birds were sent back with messages
attached to them. Most OF the mes
sages were printed on films and the
printing was so small that it could
be read only with the help of a
microscope. On a February day in
1871 a single pigeon took to Paris
films with 10000 short messages! !
Yet the films contained such tiny
printing that the film could be
carried by . 1-pound bird.
Homing pigeons are being en-
ployed widely In the present World
War. With the help of messages
carried by pigeons, British aviators
have been rescued after making
forced landings on the North Sea.
Some time ago it was reported
that the United States Signal Corps
had 10000 homing pigeons. This
was only part Of what was planned
to become "a pigeon Army corps
Of 3oo,ooo."

my's king knocking out East's ace.
East continued the spades and on
the third spade South discarded a
low diamond. A diamond shift was
won by dummy's ace, after which
South drew two more ROUNDS OF
trumps. The clubs were then
started and the defense could make
only the club ace and a trump.
Thus South made his two-heart
contract.
Can you spot the crime and the
criminal? Try to do 50 Tor your
self before reading on.
West was the criminal-but not
for anything that took place In
the playl Two hearts could not
have been defeated, but South
should never have been allowed to
steal the game with such meager
strength. West should have dou-
bled one heart for q take-out.
Thereafter East would have bid as
many spades as were required to
outbid North and South. That
would be safe enough, for East
would lose. only one trick in each
suit. making three spades.
Vests pass would have been
sound enough if there had been no
part-score, for then it would take
a high contract to produce game
and Vests defensive strength would
probably stop the game. But west
did not have enough to stop low
contract and therefore should have
sought some means of competing
with South in the bidding. A
shaded take-out double is the
standard method employed by good
players In such cases. Such dou-
bles occasionally get you into trou-

Aliens Given Chance
To Correct Registering
As Axis Nationals
Many Believed Conquest
Of Homeland Changed
Their Citizenship Status

Aliens who mistakenly or involun-
tarily registered as Germans,
Italians or japanese will be given
an opportunity to correct or amend
their registration records, Attorney
General Biddle announced today.
Application forms for amended reg
istrations are now available at all
field Offices of the immigration and
Naturalization Service.
Aliens whose applications are ap-
proved will be removed from the
"alien enemy liStings, and will no
longer be subject to the travel and
other restrictions imposed by the
Justice Department on alien
enemies.
During the alien registration of
1910 and the identification program
earlier this year, some aliens mis-
takenly gave their nationality as
German. Italian or Japanese under
the erroneous impression that Axis
conquests had changed their ma
tlonality status, the Justice De-
partment pointed out.
Il wish to direct particular atten-
ton to the fact that this new pro-
cedure contemplates the removal
of aliens from the category of alien
enemies only on the basis of definite
proof that the applicants were not
in fact Germans, Italians c, :.
anese at the time of registering.
Commissioner of immigration Har-
rison declared in issuing instruc-
tiqns covering the amended regis
tration procedure
Facts Are Required.
''It does not provide for the ex-
emption of aliens from the alien
enemy category merely on the
grounds of loyalty or friendliness to
the United States
The two-page application form re-
quires the alien to give his regis
tration number and the facts on
which he bases his claim to ma
tionaity status other than German,
italian or Japanese. Each applica-
ton must be accompanied by the
documentary evidence the alien may
have to support his claim.
