LE0TA'S SPRING
OPENING SHOWS
LOVELY STYLES

With fresh spring styles direct
from Los Angeles, which has be-
come the fashion center of the
world, Leota's wcmen's apparel shop
in the Baranof Hotel is having its
spring opening today.
The shop has been closed for q
day and a half for redecorating
and presents as bright an appear
ance as the attractive new clothes.
1T is definitely tailored sea-
son with emphasis placed upon at
tractive woolens in pastels, blend
ed checks, soft stripes and plaids"
declared Mrs. Leota Russell, owner
of the shop, who recently returned
from buying trip to California.
Suits on display are quite differ
ent from those shown in 1941 and
nave gently rounded shoulders and
wider sleeves with varied coat
lengths. More thought has been
given to the skirts than ever be-
fore and many have wide box
pleats, while others have knife
pleats, both narrow and wide. 9th
ers are made in the ever popular
gored fashion
Coats Casual
Coats are in free and easy swag-
ger fashion and also casual belted
styles, ample in cut and careful in
detail. Many have large carry all
pockets. While navy is worn as is
always the case in spring, the ma
jority of the lovely coats and suits
are in soft pastels and shadowy
plaids.
The tailored idea is also en-
phasized in dresses with the casual
simplicity SO important this sea-
son. Sheer woolens are exception
ally good as are jerseys in this type
of dress" Mrs. Russell said Both
prints and pastels in crepes with
much thought given to "V" necks
and skirt details are. popular as
well as most becoming she de-
clared.
Hats would be difficult to de-
scribe because of the variety of
style, however sailor and small hats
sitting back on the head are more
popular than ever. Some of the
lovely colors in which hats are be-
ing shown this year are violet, daft
fodil yellow, tulip and fresh pars-
ley, aqua, continental blue and
brave red" Mrs Russell said

LODE OPERATORS
HAVE PRIORITY
RATES LOWERED

Twenty gold lode mining COM
panies in Alaska, including Alaska
Juneau, have had their serial num-
bers for preference ratings under
order P-56 withdrawn, thus discon-
tinuing preference ratings ranging
from AS to A-8 Wilbur A. Nell
son, administrator of the mining
branch of the War Production
Board, informed B. D. Stewart,
Commissioners of the Department of
Mines, of the move this morning.
The announcement made no men
ton of whether or not the lode
mines would be given a new pref
erence rating. Mr. Stewart said
that it would probably mean that
the lode operators would receive
the same priority rating now en-
joyed by placer operators, A-10.
Word received by Mr. Stewart in
dicates, he said, that there is no
shortage of supply as far as the
small lode operators are concerned,
and that most placer operators also
are well satisfied with the A-1O
rating. This is the same prefer
ence rating which is given to all
governmental divisions in mainten-
ance of official activities.

The Whole Truth

The Nazi regime is not usually
credited with doing much to encour-
age truth. Hitler himself spends
many paragraphs in ''Mein Kampf"
telling about the Importance of be-
ing good liar. But, strange as it
may seem, according to tale that
is whispered behind the closed doors
Of state department offices, the
Nazis have struck blow for verify.
Here is the tale which may never
appear in the official communicates
of our ministry of foreign relations.
When Germany declared war on
the United States last December,
after Pearl Harbor, there were still
several hundred Americans, men
and women, living in Paris. Many
of them had lived there for 20 years,
getting their American passports re-
newed periodically. Some of the
ladies, it seems, took advantage of
these periodical renewals to lop a
couple of years off their age now
ana again.
And who would grudge the ladies
a few years stolen from the calen-
dar, especially in Paris? But the
gentle prevarication bounced back
with a vengeance. For when the
Nazis announced that women under
60 would be interned in concentra-
ton camps, while older women
would be allowed to remain at lib
erty. certain number of American
women suddenly discovered that the
age shown on their passport was
erroneous. They hurried to the
Swiss consulate, which had charge
of American interests, and swore
out affidavits to the effect that they
were not, say, As, but 81.
Not all of these belated amend
ments were accepted by the Nazi
officials-gallant for once. The con-
sequence is that the rigors of the
Nazi internment camps are now be-
ing suffered by women who, if they
had been less coquettish about their
years, would now be free.

Notes From a
Broadcasters Diary

Is the government farm-conscious?
1t is. / am going to risk a gentle
indiscretion and quote a suggestion
from high government source to
broadcasters. It is part Of an APP
peal to encourage enlistment in our
merchant marine that must have
one hundred thousand skilled work.
ers for the shipyards in 1912; must
have 10000 experienced seamen.
Here is the suggestion:
Take care to specify that the
Merchant Marine does not want men
engaged in farming or war produc-
ton work. They do their share now.
Any change would bring more harm
than good. 1t does! however, want
the young, the strong, the adven-
turous for seagoing jobs, and the
skilled capable workers for the ship
yards :"
And the government wants the
skilled farmer to stay on the farm
where he is: Food will win the war
and write the peace.

Seventy Per Cent Of Casualties

Harold Butler, British Information Minister, is in
the United States for the purpose suspect of Great
ing favorable impressions for his country.
Certainly this is crime, and in view of the
determined attitude of Americans to criticize and
ambast the British it is time that the facts be given
to the public.
One of the pet allegations of the Britishhat is
that the Englishmen do not fight, leaving it to the
Anzacs Canadians and South Africans to preserve the
Empire. Mr. Butler calls attention to fact, already
published that seventy per cent of the Empires
uaties in this have been men from the British
Isles
He admits that the British lost many battles be-
they had too much world to defend, too
little to do it with and little time in which to prepare.
This amounts to general admission that the British
Isles tarred with the pacfsm which all but
destroyed the defense of the Democraces and opened
the way for the aggessors to prepare for their attack
The United States, by its disarmament folly and
other efforts to avoid offending Japan finds itself
engaged in war in the Pacific. This would not
have occurred except for the fact that the Japanese
became convinced that a nation of softies,"
unwilling to fight and ready to surrender rather than
face death.
Mr.. Butler is pleased with the strength of Gibral
tar Malta and the Suez He notes that the islands
still secure and that were holding the Middle East
against fearful Odds"
Moreover, answering those who wonder where
the British Fleet is engaged he points out that most
of Mussolins navy is sunk and that Htlers warshps

Ndzi Break With Russia
Fooled Sabotage in US.
Hitler Held Responsible for Wrecking Ger
many's Elaborate Plans to Blow Up
Vital Points in u. S.
By BAUKHAGE
NetOs analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, 1343 H Street, NV.
Washington, d. c.
A mystery that has perplexed
many laymen and some officials in
Washington with respect to the man.
ner in which the government has
forestalled a mammoth Nazi plan
for sabotaging American industry
can now be explained. There viii
be no official confirmation of the
explanation but it comes to me from
what are frequently described as
Informed sources"-which really
means "a man who has never lied
to me so far"
In a sentence: The man who
wrecked elaborate Nazi plans for
blowing up munitions plants, rail-
way terminals, bridges, electric
light and power plants in the United
States was none other than Adolf
Schikelgruber, Hitler himself.
He did 1t when he tossed the
Ribbentrop- Molotov pact out of the
window just after Nazi armies had
launched their surprise drive on
Russia.
To understand what a job the
fuehrer did for himself we must
remember that for years, with the
methodical care of the German
mind, detailed plan had been
worked out for the sabotage of
American industry. Even during
the last war there were some ter
rible and effective pieces of sabo-
tage accomplished by compare
lively unframed and unregimented
crowd of German spies. The famous
Black Tom explosion which wrecked
the huge New Jersey plant not far
from New York city, was an ex-
ample. An international mixed
claims commission finally awarded
huge damages to the United States
for that act.
But the Nazis began where the
kaiser left off. They had schools for
the training Of saboteurs especially
selected from Germans who had
lived in the United States and were
lured back to Germany and either
bribed or inundated into undertak-
ing the work Of destruction in terri
tory with which they had become
familiar.
Details Of this training came out
in the secret teetimo' IN the recent

Berlin Compliments Red Army

German broadcasts pay tribute to the stubborn
ness of Russon troops, defending StalingTad with
bitterness unmatched in this war"
German military observers say that Russian re-
sstance is desperate that it is impossible to predict
when the city will be captured They assert that the
Russians twill certainly not capitulate."
Berlin tells of "bitter fight for every individual
house in Staingrad envrons and describes elaborate
mine fields and deep system of thickly studded forti
fcations While the Russians may duplicate their sue
cessful defense of Moscow and Lenngrad, it is easily
the Volga.
This year the German strength is concentrated on
Ia limited sector of hevast front in Russia, with
centratons of planes tanks and manpower desperately
seeking to break the Russian strong points.
The occupation of Stalingrad by the Germans
would be serious loss to the Russians but it would be
decisive blow. While traffic on the Volga might
be interrupted, it is well to remember that in few
months winter weather will close the river for
merce anyway.
1t may be reasonably presumed that the Russians
have accumulated supplies in the interior and that the
Red Army will fight on, regardless of what happens
at Stalingrad and in the Cacausas regions.

The Japanese have waged their
campaign on the accumulated re-
serves Of the years preceding the
attack upon Pearl Harbor. Japa-
nese industry is insufficient for
war production. The only asset
the Japanese have is the willing
ness of soldiers and sailors to die
for the Emperor and the prospect
is that thousands of them will
have the chance before the war
ends.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1942-09-17

Moreover, Japan's steel capacity
will not support prolonged war
with this country. Her machine
tool industry is practically nil.
Her merchant shipping is being
depleted faster than it can be
rebuilt. Her Navy has suffered
greater losses in cruisers, destroy
ers and aircraft carriers than we
have and midget submarines have
proved worthless.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1942-09-17

There are sound reasons for
this strategy. The vast expan-
sion of Japanese territory, as re-
suit of early gains in the pres
emit war, has greatly heightened
the supply lines of the empire.
Japanese ships are thus subject
to attack and the sea routes must
be kept open or the conquests of
the South Pacific will be worth
less.
