Recruits Start Training
AT MARYLAND Naval Unit

The first steps in boot training
were being taken today at the two
new Naval Training Stations at
Sampson. N. Y, and cambridge.
Md. cambridge Is the name the
Navy gave the new station it has
completed near Port Deposit.
Two hundred and twenty enlisted
bluejackets arrived at the Balm
bridge station Monday and another
220 came yesterday. They will be
trained by a staff under Capt. c. F..
Russell, commandant.
Built to accommodate 10000 re-
cruits, the new Maryland station is
named for Commodore William
cambridge, captain of the historic
Frigate Constitution, known famil-
iarly as odd Ironsides." Besides
this and the Sampson post, a third
new training station will open soon
at Farragut, Iowa. Sampson is
named for Rear Admiral William
T. Sampson. who commanded the
Atlantic squadron that destroyed
the Spanish fleet at Santiago in
1898, and Farragut honors the Civil
War hero whose order Damn the
torpedoes! Full speed ahead" has
become a Navy tradition.
The original four naval traicing
stations are all on wartime sched-
ules. They are at Newport, r. l.:
Norfolk, Va; San Diego, Calf, and
Great Lakes, III.

War -Time Extravagahce
Cincinnati Enouirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 After year of Investigations the House Military Affairs Committee by slender jority has brought in an extremely unfavo able report in War Depart ment procurement charging reckless spending, red tape, and exorbitant commissions and profits. Such report which is bound to weaken public confidence in the army and the government, would hardly have been made in the midst of if the majority of the committee not persuaded of the gravity of it's charges Therefore the report warrants thoughtful study
 But on its face, the report is an obvious exag- eeration It condemns contracts made a basis of cost plus fixed fee. There basis for criti cisn of the cost plus percentage contracts of the first world They inducement to ex- travagance But this cannot be said of the contracts negotiated in this effort The judgment of most business engaged in contracts is very defin- tely that government contracts in the main are be- ing made nelligently and efficiently with few loop holes for waste or graft.
 Any is a reckless extravaganza Any war contract, because it calls for speed rather than omy is likely to be an extravagant contract The citizen should recognize this and consider 1t part of the price we must pay for unreadiness-a for our failure nation in the last 25 years to do something positive to insure peace
 The war can only De won if the weapons and equipment are provided, and enough To insure sary just as fair wage must be paid to the worker It is idle for congressional committee to carry its long sluggish investigation to the point of ndicting the governments war effort incompetent on the meager evidence brought forward.

War Information
(New York Times)


 The President has taken very welcome and i'm portant forward step in consolidating and reorganiz ing the various war information and propaganda vices and in placing Elmer Davis at the head of the new organization. The new Office of War Informa- ton will merge in agency functions hitherto scat tered among the Office of Facts and Figures headed by Archibald MacLeish the Office of Government Re- ports headed by Lowell Mellett; the Division of In- formation headed by Robert w. Horton in the Office for Emergency Management which has controlled the press relations of such agencies the War Produc- ton Board, the Office of Price Administration and the War Labor Board, and the Foreign Information Service of the Office of the Coordinator of Informa ton An estimated 3OO09 Federal workers have been in these offices formidable number and there will be considerable overlapping and duplication of effort 10 be removed.
 To head the new OWI MT Davis is an admirable choice He is already known to millions of Americans who have listened nightly to his compact objective and shrewdly nterpretative reports the war over the radio His versatile Journalistic talents have been recognized for many years by his former colleagues on this newspaper. A director of war information must steer peculiarly delicate and difficult course between the Scylla of revealing important informa- ton to the enemy and the Charybds of deprving the American public of information that it is entitled to have But if MT Davis is granted the full authority and discretion that the new executive order implies he can be counted upon to sllrfnont the major dlf ficuties Of his task

 Capt Scheibner will act as sup ervisor of all Civilian Traffic Con- trol offices in this district which, at present, includes offices at Skag- way and Yakutat.
 Lieut. Robert MacIsaacs will be in charge of the office in Skagway, Capt. Scheibner said.
 Those who are planning to travel are requested to anticipate their plans as far in advance as possible in order that no delay in obtaining a permit will be caused, he said.

JUNEAU AND THE USO

A few weeks from now, Juneau residents going to be treated to weekend of entertainment. They're going to first class boxing card, go to dance and see a baseball game all for the cost of their contribution to the USO
 The entertainment will be the service mems way Of showing Juneautes that they appreciate the contributions because the whole works is going to be staged by service men Juneau's Rotary Club has taken the responsibility of managing the affair and hopes to raise least $25 500 through the sale g combination tickets which will entitle the holder to go to all three events
 Juneaus quota has been set at $2O O22 minute part of the whole $32 100000 set for the nation in the campaign but the Rotary Club is aiming at the over -the-top mark
 If you want to get q small idea of what the USO is doing to make soldier sailor marines life a little pleasant just ask of Juneau's ex-ser- vice who action in the last great war. Any of them can tell yol what this new organization means.
 The USO has 585 clubs stretched out all the world and that includes Alaska Preparations are now being made to set up recreation building promised to send director and operator for the club as the building is put in shape The salary which the USO will pay this expert director will than amount to Juneaus contribution to the organi- zation thus far To raise $250O is the least can do.
 The tickets for the USO Slamboree will go on sale in few days. To see a smoker and base ball game and attend dance all for S2 contribu- ton is a bargain at any time. When the money is going to the USO it's more than bargain

No excuse has been given by the Japs tor not permitting Swiss representative in Manila, but U. s officials presume it is because they don't want anyone from the out side world to see what is going of there.
 Meanwhile, however, the treat ment of U. s, prisoners in Japan and China is reported to be good The Swiss representatives make regular reports, state that American prisoners have no complaints, that sheets on beds are changed ire quently, and that married men are allowed to go to see their wives ev- cry weekend.
 Note: If the Japs permit Swiss representative to go to Manila, tht American public can send cigar cites, chocolate, etc, to prisoners But it is impossible now.

pressure here for an American su- preme command over the United Nations
 One error earlier in the war which has served to bring this point home was the case of the barges loaded with dynamite with which the British planned to block the Danube at the Iron Gate, thus pre- venting Hitler from sending sub marines and other water-born mili- tary supplies into the Balkans.
 The two barges were loaded with dynamite, and everything was per fectly planned, except for one thing The British insisted on pacing up and down on the decks of the barges in the daylight to get their usual daily exercise, instead of stay ing below all day and coming up at night.
 So une Germans saw them, re- ported suspicious-looking sailors 10 the RLmanians, and the barges were seized. So now the Danube, un- blocked, is an important means by which war supplies are transport ed to the Black Sea against Rus sia, ard perhaps will be used later against Turkey and the Near East.
 Note:-- When the Nazis concealed their troops aboard merchant ships to make their surprise conquest of Norway, no suspicious characters took constitutionals in the daylight.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do rot compel"
THURSDAY, JULY g


 Conflicting planetary influences are active today which may be diff ficult in many ways Good news regarding the Navy is probable.
 HEART AND HOME: In great armies United States troops will fight with British forces in history making battles and our men will continue to prove their brilliant ef- ficiencJ and splendid capabilities. This month may bring sorrow to countless American women who now must realize that the nations peril ras been desperate and that terrible sacrifices are inevitable in preserving liberty, freedom = the American way of life A new order of humanity is to be brought out in blcod and tears Future gener- atioiis gre to benefit through pres ent agonies.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Although certain commodities are lacking the people of the United States are to experience no real food problems as farmerettes prove their ability in many parts of the country. Fruit in great quantities will supersede meats in daily menus, east and west and science in cookery will be com mon as women help to win the war in a hundred unusual ways. Gro- cers and small tradesmen will prof it less than in prewar days, but they will be fairly prosperous Ger tain crops are to be damaged be- fore harvest time by unreasonable weather.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Postwar op- portllnities will be widely discussed. Economists and educators will con- side. important problems on which future national success and happi- ness depends. The stars presage for the United States the accepted leadership of a world that suffers globe-cncircling devastation Re- building and 'reestablishing Euro pean peoples, prostrate through wars horrors, will engage the brains and the wealth of nation that mus prove itself worthy of the greatest responsibilities ever borne by any government.
 |. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: India, which is under the dual sign of GeTini, has many great events in store for the, next few months. There will be perils as varied as the peoples, but there is a sign that appears to presage division in which the Mohammedan minority bene- fits. The great problem of India is that of cooperation and it will be solved only by an unexpected piece of diplomacy following an uprising that involves Gandhi and his fol- lowers, it is forecast.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of changes. some of which should be extraordinarily fortunate. Ne W friends are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be imaginative and ex- ceedingiy sensitive. They will be loyal tn their friendships and love affairs
