During her present visit here the
former Wallis Warfield has ap-
preached several New York depart

Bahaman jewelry.
The Duchess husband, when he
was Prince of Wales, was frequently
called a super-salesman for the
British Empire. From hints drop
ped by spokesman familiar with
the Duchess plans, it appeared that
she has gone in for salesmanship
herself in small way. Asked
whether she had made a sale yet,
the spokesman replied: mo, but she
has vicorious CLINT in her eye"
The jewelry, based for the most
part on tiny shells, is familiar to
visitors to the Bahamas where the
makers hawk it in palm -fringed
Rawson Square, between Bay street
and the docks.

.Exi|ed Czechs Vow
Vengeance Against
Nazis for Staying
81 More Persons Shot
In Prague and Bruenn,
Germans Announce
B> the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 1.-THE Czech
government here vowed vengeance
tonight for the execution Of the
hundreds Of persons put to death
by the Germans in repriSal for the
assassination of the Gestapo hang
man, Reinhard Heydrich.
In a formal note to the Allied
governments the Czechs said:
The Czecho-Slovak government
will take all necessary steps which
it may regard as desirable to secure
retribution for these atrocities, and
will relax no efforts to bring to ac-
count all those who committed these
crimes or who were in any way
responsible for them. ="
The toll of Czech lives eXacted
by the Germans for the Staying OF
Heydrich rose today to a known
total of 3O6, exclusive of uncounted
scores slain in an unprecedented
purge which wiped the little town
of Lidice off the map.
Announcement of the execution
of 81 more CzechS in Prague and
Bruenn was made by the Berlin
radio a few hours after it reported
last night that all men in Lidice
had been shot on the charge
that the population sheltered the
assassins of Heydrich, Nazi ruler
of Bohemia and Moravia. The
assassins are still being hunted.
The German radio gave the
population of Lidice-a village Of
coal miners and woodcutters situat-
ed few miles from Prague-as 483,
but Czech quarters in London said
it was nearer 1900.
All women residents were sent to
concentration camps, the children
were placed in appropriate educa-
tional institutions and the town
itself was leveled to the ground, the
Germans declared.
In addition to sheltering Heydrich s
slayers, they asserted, inhabitants
of Lidice were found to have been
in active service of the enemy
abroad
Evidence was found Of hostile
actions committed against the
Reich, and subversive printed mat
ter, as we'll as arms ard ammunition
dumps, an illegal radio transmitting
station and huge war supplies of
rationed commodities were dis
covered" the Berlin announcement
said.

news from reaching Alaska ls moreover, nullified by the ability ol Alaskans to tune in on long and shortwave radio broadcasts from Outside in which the same news is transmitted
 The Council brings this matter specifically to the attention of the various censorship agencies and rec quests them to advise the Council what action will be taken to rectify this unwarranted discrimination.
 Alaskans can be thankful that they have a War Council that has shaken down for action and has started out to do it's job with in- telligence and efficiency It may be able to convince the brass hats by example if no other way, that Alaskans are just as intelligent and as good loyal Americans as are the people of continental United States. The Council is made up of the Governor as Chairman; Howard J. Thompson, Department of Com meree; Hugh Wade. Social Secur- ltyi M. D. Williams Federal Works Agency; Ralph c. Vogel, FBI; E. L.. Bartlett, Secretary of Alaska. B.. Frank Heintzleman, Regional For ester; Lieut.. Col Hobart Murphy. laison officer for the Army and Lieut-Com. J. Simpson MacKinnon, liaison officer for the Navy.
 The latest insult to Alaska intel- ligence, by the way, is the national magazine News Week arriving this week with several pages clipped by the censor for Alaskans. although it has general circulation through out continental U. s. We expect to hear any day of some Alaskan re- ceiving a Bible with the ten com mandments cut out and neatly marked approved by the censor"

APPROVED BY THE CENSOR"

Not that we expect it to do very much good, judging from some mot for publication" instructions we have received this week from the Army's Western Defense Command and the 18th Naval District, but we feel the Alaska War Council, head ed by Gov. Gruening, should be commended for at least trying to get Alaskans a break.
 The Council, meeting in Juneau last week, delyed into five matters that vitally concern the every day lives of Alaskans. It made some sound suggestions for eliminating red tape in connection with travel to and from the Territory It de- handed an investigation of the charges that liquor was shipped to Alaska to the exclusion of food and other necessities and to do some thing about it if true. It went into the emergency food supply situation as pertains to civilians and sent Alaska Secretary B. L. Bartlett to Seattle to find out why the supplies haven't been forthcoming as prom ised It demanded some action to eliminate competitive bidding for workers between various defense agencies and private contractors en- gagged in defense construction and passed a resolution on censorship which puts the Alaska case in a clear light. one that even censor should be able to see. This is what the Council said:
 'The Alaska War Council asserts that censorship, insofar as it denies to residents of Alaska news which has already been made public and passed by official censorship in the United States, is working an un- necessary hardship on the Alaskan people. The Councn recommends that this practice be discontinued, and that Alaskan newspapers be not prohibited from publishing news dispatches which have been published or passed for publication in the States.
 tThe eensors' practice of clipping newspapers in Seattle before trans mitting them to Alaska is without justification, indicates a great waste of time and Government money, serves no useful purpose and tends to impair the morale of residents of Alaska.

During the summer engineers from a private company have been in the field, but what gives the Groundhog new hope at the present writing is the new set up the U. s. Bureau of Mines has inaugurated in Alaska to find stra- tegic metals for war industry Dis trict Engineer Robert s. Sanford of the Bureau of Mines has set up headquarters in Juneau and has 12 men in the field His job is to ex- plore and develop strategic miner als including tungsten, nickel, molybdenum, copper, chrome, anti mony, mercury, tin and others. Nine projects already are on tap in the Territory for potential development So for, the Bureau isn't telling what they are. There will be others Grounding, incidentally, has been rated by mining engineers as one of two top strategic mineral areas in the Territory. Reports are fairly thorough on it. U. s. engineers are making further studies. Old timers who have hung tough with hope through the years may yet see the Grounding come into it's own.
