WASHINGTON. Jan. pa high
Government official reported to-

is able to fortify Hawaii and the
Pacific Coast more formidably
than ever before and this while
starting stream of reinforce

What constitutes this stream In

Within the United States more

efficiency, the official said and also
termed miraculous" by railroad

This official also said that the
advantage gained by the japanese
over the Navy ON December 7 in
a surprise attack has been largely
offset by the mounting flow Of
American long range bombers.

CRAIG, Alaska, Jan. % - The
Peratrovich Cannery warehouse
here was destroyed by the terrific
southeast gale here Tuesday, its
roofing structures being blown to
splinters the entire length of Kla-
wock Inlet. Seines and seine ma
terials stored in the warehouse are
now being salvaged, apparently in
good condition.
The damage was estimated at
$4,000, fully covered by insurance.
When the roofing first blew off
the building, it struck George
Demmert, who was on the beach
nearby fastening a log. Demmeft
sustained a broken ankle which
was treated Immediately by the
local government nurse. He is nov
awaiting transportation to Ketchi-

1t is felt that it will be possible

Heintzleman declared. The two ex-

producing considerable high grade
spruce. now urgently needed by war
industries, he pointed out.
Girard is expected to spend about
six weeks with local members of the

study of the situation here.

With a goal of 200 paid-up mem
beers. the Juneau Chamber OF Com
merce launched an about member
ship drive this noon at their lunch
con meeting in the Baranof Hotel.
All members were given pros
pective m m ership lists ana
blanks to be filled out by new
members. New membership cards
were displayed, with colorful little
American flags waving in their
corners and it was announced that
business houses holding chamber
memberships will be supplied with

Much of the meeting was taken
up with discussion of the recent

A great deal of interest centered
in the report of Charles Burdick,
who has checked on the actual in
crease in retail costs of articles as
result of the freight increase.
Burdick said complete check
showed that the average increase
of all prices will be less than six
per cent. This will mean. he
pointed out, that on an average
monthly grocery bill of $50, there
will be So per month increase.
Regarding the claim that the
freight raise is forcing families to

MELBOURNE, Australia. Jan. %
--Rabaul, Capital City of New Brit

ing warships, have been sighted off
neighboring Watom Island.
Immediately following this brief
report, communications with Ra-
baul ceased and it is presumed here
that the New Britain island has
been evacuated by the military
forces in anticipation of a prospec-
tive Japanese landing.

that the increase in grocery costs
will have to run two years before it
becomes equivalent to the price
of one ticket to the States. Horace
Adams, agent for the Alaska
Steamship Company, said today
that far from speeding the depart
ure of folks from Juneau, there has
actually been a decrease in reser-
vations since the rate raise.
Another question was brought up
by Charles Carter, who wondered ii
the general advance of one hour in
time throughout continental United
States, scheduled to take place on
February 9, will apply to Alaska
In 1910, Carter pointed out, Juneau
clocks were set ahead an hour to
make time here coincide with Pac-
ific Coast Time. If they are pushed
ahead another hour well be get
ting up two hours earlier he de-
clared.
"Alaskans are willing to get up
in the middle of the night, if it's
necessary for national defense"
Carter said, but he asked that some
inquiry be made to determine
whether the time change will affect

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Check-
ing off Prime Minister Winston
Churchill as merely temporary
visitor, the three most important
of foreign countries
in Washington since we entered
World War II are England's Lord
Halifax, the USSR's Maxim Lit
vinov and DR.. T. v. Soong.
Until the other day, Lord Hall
fax and Litvinov were the only
who have cabinet
rating at home. Then quite unex-
pectedly, DR.. Soong, for two Yeas
Ch..,a's financial and lend-lease
expediter here, was appointed
Foreign Minister. OF China.
That title Is probably the head
ing for a new chapter in one of
the most amazing political careers
in the turbulent history of modern
China--but career which has
been practically unknown outside
the small circle of Occidentals who
know their Orient like a book.
Even as recently as a few
weeks ago, ! have heard gov
crnment officials who should
know say: "Dr. Soong? Oh.
yes, he's d member of that
Eoong family in China"
A member of "that Soong FAM
ily' he certainly is, but here is

that if it hadn't been for the III

WASHINGTON - The hard-hit-
ting Truman committee hasn't got
around to the matter yet, but some
hot sensations are in store when
the committee digs into the dollar
a-year-man handling of the power
phases of the war production pro-
gram.
For years one of the hottest is
sues in Washington has been the
power lobby 1t has been repeated
ly investigated, and several years
ago, after fierce legislative battles,
the Federal Power and Holding
Company laws were enacted to curb
the lobby.
The Truman committee has con-
fidential information that today
this lobby is more powerfully en-
trenched in the capital than ever
before.
For months, it has been operat-
ing directly inside the government,
formulating and running the power
policy of the OPM, which was un-
til last week the key war produc-
ton agency.
The OPM Power Division is not
only manned with utility officials,
but they are still on the payrolls
of private power companies. In
other words, while presumably
working for the government, they
are actually paid employees OF the
utilities.
After being deluged with COM
plants that the utility-ruled OPM
Power Division was secretly aid
ing independent rural power CO.
ops, the House Appropriations Com
mittee questioned j.. A. Krug, head
of the division, on these charges.
Krug defended his staff. but
the committee, unconvinced, or
dered him to submit detailed re-
port on his dollar-a-year assis-
tants. including the amount of sal
aries they are drawing from utility
companies while working for the
government.
