Every leader of a totaltaran state needs a scapegoat Adolf Hitler picked out the Jew There few things that he couldn't blame the Jew
 There were many Jews in Germany and Hitler has little hope that if he succeeded in conquer ing all of Europe and subjugating all of the Ger mans to his rule, he never would be able to cile the Jews.
 Consequently, he has set about to destroy them. Three Jewish grave dggers who recently escaped from Chemo in Poland tell horrible story of Hit lers determination for the extermnation of their race.
 Early this year-about January 15, to be exact thousands of Jews from Lodz were brought to Chelmo. They were of both sexes and all ages, from children in to the very old

During recent flights over Kiska, American planes encoun- tered only light anti-aircraft opposition.
 Nearly every of the American islands ill the North Pacific is of strategic importance. Many ex- perts agree that the side capable of holding Alaska will be victorious in this war. The Alaska route is the shortest between this continent and Tokyo, the ultimate goal of American forces But routes can be used in two directions Consequently Japan's military would become grave threat to the United States if it should gain control of the Alaska peninsula.
 Japan's strength in the North Pacific is much less than in the south Determined efforts to dis lodge the Japs from Alaska must be continued until every of the yellow-belies is busted from the vitally important archipelago

The American League crown has been won five times by right hand CTS and five by lefties but in the senior circuit the southpaws have won seven of ten. Lombardi, who won this year and in 193S, and Joe Medwick, 1887 victor, were the only right handlers to finish on top.
