his star to a wagon.

German soldier. And in the
whole picture, Flynn is subject

of all the free-minded people of
occupied France.

Need More Sand, Fire
Equipment in Homes in
City; Prepare for Raids

Although complete returns have
not yet been made, indications last
night were that many homes in the
city are not prepared with the
equipment necessary to fight in
cendiary bomb fires, and the Civ
ilian Defense Board, at a meeting
following yesterdays alert drill, de-
cided to push a campaign to supply
every building in Juneau with sand.
AS soon as all air raid sergeantS
have made their reports and it is
known how much more sand is
needed, the Civilian DEFENSE Board
will take steps to see that sand is
distributed throughout the city to
those who need it.
1t was reported that some con-
fusion is apparent concerning to
what areas residents would tenn
porarily evacuate in the event that
a warning of an impending raid is
received enough ahead of time to
enable persons to leave town.
The board emphasized that if the
10 alarm sounds, and is followed
Immediately by the staccato alarm,

closest at hand and not attempt to
evacuate the city since not enough
time will be available.
On the other hand, when the 1-2
alarm sounds an alert period sig
nifying that there will be more time
at hand before a raid, air raid war
dens are to instruct residents in
their districts where to seek shelter
out of town.
A committee consisting of Walter
Scott, B. d. Stewart and George
Parks was appointed to investigate
the matter of temporary evacuation
and report back at the meeting
next Thursday with a systemized
plan for each district.
During last nights drill, air raid
wardens canvassed their districts
and made a survey of how many
homes were not supplied with neces-
sary fire fighting equipment. This
information will be turned over to
the Civilian Defense Board.
Director Frank A. Metcalf an
nounced that more sand will be dis
tributed as soon as possible.

INVASION OF
EUROPE Seen
IN new PACT
May Attempt TO Crush Hit
ler's Forces in AL
lied Wise

LONDON, June 12-With the
United States, Britain and Russia
united as never before under a new
pact, Allied hopes of striking a
decisive blow in the war this year
scared to predict a bold invasion
of Western Europe.
That the Allied strategy calls for
such a move is clearly indicated in
the announcement from Washing
ton, London and Moscow which
agrees on the urgency of opening
a second front to crush Hitler's
armies between two forces.
The announcement came amid in
dications that Hitler is massing his
legions for an about effort to
smash Russia with all possible
speed.
Observers here believe Russia S
ability to withstand such a shock
is strengthened with the sure
knowledge that powerful help is on
the way, and that .Hitler's opera
lions will be impeded by the neces-
sity of meeting this looming threat
to the west.
