NIGHT PARKING
 BAN TO REMAIN
Board of Police COmmis siOners Unanimous in
 Decision on Ruling

Members of the police board will vote unanimously for rigid enforce ment of the all-night parking ban at regular session today, accord ing to reliable authority. An agree ment to refuse all petitions for re- peal or postponement of the pro- visions of the regulation was reach- ed at an informal session of the board late yesterday.
 Recommendations are expected to be made that school yards, and sec tions of city parks be utilized for parking space. Although members of the board queried today asked that their statements not be pub lished until after the board meet ing, they left no doubt that they had reached a final decision on the matter.
 "All the petitions received were given very serious and thorough consideration yesterday" said one member of the board. We feel that the ban on all-night parking must be enforced. From now on it will be enforced"
 To date the police department has made no attempt to enforce the regulation and has merely issued warning notices to those whose cars were found on the streets in viola tion of the ban. Opponents of the program have raised a popular front of opposition and are plan ming to take the matter to court upon the first instance of it's en- 1 forcement.
 It was indicated that no time would be permitted at today's ses- sion for arguments from members of the opposition group who might appear All that can be said about the matter has been said" con- mented one member of the board, ''and do not think further argu- ment will be helpful to us in mak- ing final decision"

Nazi Idea Is Jeered By British
REPORTS OF PEACE OFFENSIVE BY BERLIN
 DO NOT INTEREST LONDON

LONDON - The London Daily Mail hinted in it's issue recently that Germany is seeking to cry quits in the aerial warfare between Germany and England which England is climaxing with thunderous blows with British Royal Air Force planes against Naz dominated Europe.
 The Daily Mail, quoting Berlin dispatch to a Swiss newspaper the Journal de Geneve said: Tt is semi officially stated Germany is willing call off the bomb ing of English towns if the RAF will change it's meth odS of bombing German cities. The present bombing duel is highly unpopular with the German people,
 Ignored By Britain
 Authoritative British quarters commenting the purpored German offer declared: We are going after those blighers wherever they That's final" British home minister Morrison referred scOrnfully to the "cry of German propagandisS that it is us to call off raids and save ourselves
 Reports of an Axis peace offensive persist and they've shifted now from Italy to Germany. But they still sound like Axis propaganda designed to create confusion among the Allies.
 Peace Reports Are Bogus
 The latest reports, coming from Turkey, say Nazi Marshal Goering has made three peace bids to England recently. But authorized London diplomatic source says the reports are bogus and he adds: That would be futile anyway It is hardly likely that the Allies would bite at any Axis peace feeers at a time when Allied striking power is reaching it's peak"
 At Stockholm, Sweden local newspapers reported Berlin dispatches saying that 10000 German child ren were being moved out of the RAF target zone 5000 from Hamburg alone, and sent to Hungary to live with peasant families

TOKYO, May 6 (AP) - schichij Ito, well-known military commentator said in the May issue of the magazine "Contemporary Times" that the season of melting ice in the northern Pacific brought to the fore the possibility of an American offensive against Japan from Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, but said var ous factors discounted that possibility It is not Japan but the United States who should fear operations in the Northern Pacific.

 He added that heavy fog and other weather factors limit U. s. naval operations from mid-June to early August and that the U is unable to transfer all re- naming capital ships from the Atlantic to operations against Japan

the effect that the railroad would follow the route of the highway between Fort St John and Wat son Lake and then continue along what is known as the "B' Route up the Valley of the Fran cols River, over Boring Divide into the Pelly River watershed. and by some undetermined route be brought to the north bank of the Tanana some distance east of TanacroSs. The other report is to the effect that the suggested rail road would be built entirely on the "B' route departing from Prince George and continuing north to Watson Lake and thence by the route above described into Alaska. It is said that such a railroad could be built for S68.- 100000 and be completed in six teen months. Other engineer. have estimated that it would take five years to build the railroad and that it would cost $200, ,00O,- 900. This is another case where the experts do not seem to agree. Whether, if such a railroad were built, it would mean the discon- tinuance of the building of the highway, no one seems to know, but there is no evidence to that effect. 1t will be remembered that in one of his press confer ences held some time ago the President mentioned the possibil ity of building a railroad to AL aska, saying that the subject was under study, but this was before the announcement had been made that the highway project had been adopted and that the highway would be built.
