Measure Introduced For (oasfa| Highway
 To Supply Territory

WASHINGTON, June 24-Alaska Delegate to Congress Anthony J. Dimond has introduced legislation in Congress directing the President to order the construction of coast al highway to Alaska with the greatest possible speed in view of the Jap invaslon of the Aleutian Islands, several" of which the delegate sai1 are occupied.
 He said the danger of invasion of Alaska may be extended and expressed a grave doubt as to whether the supply highway for AL aska is feasible over the route pres ently under construction and he said that the success of military operations in Alaska may depend upon prompt construction of real highway to Alaska and not just a primitive roaG built mainly to sup ply airports in Canada"
 A proposed appropriation of $23,- 100000 for construction of the Prince George to White Horse route is recommended by the Alaskan In- ternational Highway Commission.

Senator Suggests Supplies Better Here than Lost
 in Libyd

WASHINGTON, June 24 The Japanese incursions into the AL eutians and the continued Axis sub depredations along the Atlantic coastline have prompted sugges- tions from some Congressional quarters that some military equip ment now being produced be divert ed to the defense of American shores.
 Senator Allen J. Ellender, of Louisiana, member of the Naval Affairs Committee, declared he is "sick and tired" of having such materiel lost as taken by the Naz.s in the fall of Tobruk.
 Senator Homer T. Bone of Wash ington described the enemy shelling of sections of the Oregon Coast and Vancouver island as ''inescap- able incidents of the war"
 Ellender asserted that Britain is wasting so many months in the in- vasion attempt that it never may be made and suggested that "as few as hundred thousand men coud be spared to help drive the Germans out of Libya.'

By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON = To help patrol Hawaiian waters, the Navy, after Pearl Harbor, ordered requisition- ing of many private craft, includ- ing yachts and cabin cruisers owned by wealthy Americans who have vacation residences in Hawaii.
 Yacht owners were informed they would receive fair compensation, to be fixed by the U. s. Maritime Con- mission. This was readily agreed to by most owners, some of whom patriotically offered even to give their boats to the government out right. But there was one notable exception.
 Among the craft ordered taken over was the sumptuous yacht Kailani, owned by Doris Duke Cromwell, the tobacco and utility heiress, famed before her marriage as '.the richest girl in America Naval officers were startled to re- ceive a letter from R. w. Swear ingen, Mrs. Cromwell's Honolulu agent, asking $35,Ooo for the Kail- ami
 This price, Swearingen added did not include Mrs. Cromwells sport fishing outfits and few personal articles now on board"
 The original cost of this vessel, he wrote, was in excess of $5000C and approximately $15,000 has beer expended in making alterations and Improvements for her use in Hawa- ian waters. Mrs. Cromwell offers to dock the vesel to permit your ex- animation of the underwater struc- ture and to conduct any trial opera tions considered necessary"
 The offer" was bluntly rejected
 The lawyer was told to inform Mrs. Cromwell to hand over hei yacht immediately, do her price dickering later with the Maritime Commission.

their counterparts on a university

There are we'll over a thousand
Jewish men in this camp. They
represent a rather complete cross
section of American Jewry. They
do not seek to hide their Jewish
ness. My duties bring me in con-
tact with practically every Jewish
soldier in Camp Croft and, thus
far, 1 have found only one who
sought to pass as a non-Jew. He
did it because of a mistaken no.

And yet he had listed himself on

Without exception, every Jew

there is an absolute lack of Of

of the United States. The Army
is completely devoid of any racial

matters little to the Army
whether one is white or colored,
Catholic or Protestant, Jew or
Gentle. It's only desire is that
every American soldier, no matter
what his credal or social back

well-disciplined, and without

in the world in which the soldier
gets better treatment, better
