The Bureau of the Mint cele-
brated its l50th birthday anniver-

way since one soldier with pistol

named Nero STOOD guard over the
young Nations new mint at Phila-

Now 200 guards watch over eight
SPRAYING minis, assay Offices and
bullion repositories in all parts Of
the country.
The first Government agency to be
set up by the new Congress, the
Mint has also been one Of the first
to be headed by a woman. It's

George Washington lived q couple

he was President of the United

watch progress on construction Of
the building. When the Mint needed
silver to make its first dollars be-
cause no gold and silver ore had yet
been discovered here, the President
gave some Of his silver plate.
Only IS people worked for the
Mint then, turning out the country's
first nickel-a 'hah disme." Gold
and silver bought from other coun-
tries was hauled by two oxen to be
melted for United States coins. The
motto "E pluribus Unum" made It's

.ALEUTIAN JAPS
HIT 4 YRS. AGO

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-UP) -
Mayor John w. Fletcher of Unalas-
ka, in the Aleutians, said today
that American fishermen struck the
first blow against Japan when they
waged guerilla war against Japanese
fishermen" four years ago and
drove them from Unalaska waters.
Fletcher, who with his wife, Grace.
went through the initial bombing
of Unalaska and the adjacent
Dutch Harbor naval station on
June 3, was interviewed here as
he began a tour of the country to
sell war bonds.

He had been one of the most
ambitious and able of DR.. Paul Jo-
seph Goebbels' lieutenants. until he
fell into disgrace and was thrown
in Jail in June, 194l
Shortly before Germany invaded
Russia June %. 1941, Boehmer at
tended a reception at the Bulgarian
legation in Berlin. A heavy drink
Ell, he took one-or- more too many
at the reception and boasted to the
Bulgarian minister that I'VE are
invading Russia week from now"
Although the attack had been
rumored for days, Nazi officials,
including Boehmer previously had
insisted that German Russian re-
lationS remained satisfactory.
BEGINNERS slip of the tongue
caused a sensation. An official of
the foreign office who overheard
his remark Immediately reported
it and Boehmer was arrested and
thrown into Moabit Jail.
Several mt\lths later Boehmer
was found guilty by peoples
court of treason through negli-
gence" and was sentenced to two
years in prison.
Boehmer got off with this COM
paratively light sentence because
Goebbels personally intervened and
wrote a lengthy plea asking clem-
ency for his former aide. Most
Germans acquainted with the case
had expected Boehmer would be
sentenced to death.
Goebbels repeatedly also made it
possible for Boehmer later to &c
to the east front as a private, that
he might clear his name" by
fighting for the fatherland. He
died a first lieutenant.
He'll never come back" his
friends said at the time.
Boehmer, a stocky man with
thinning blond hair, was noted for
his love of women and wine. AL
mcst every night he could be found
at the propaganda ministry's for
eign press club or a night club. He
invariably had an attractive wo-
man for a companion. although
not always the same one.

Fletcher said that American fish
ermen in Alaska became suspicious
of japanese fishermen" when they
caught them taking soundings while
ostensibly handling fishing lines
and nets. The Alaskan fishermen
reported their findings to American
authorities. When they could see
no action being taken, they banded
in their own boats, armed with
guns. knives and axes, and cut
every Japanese fishing net they
could find. After several forays the
Japanese sailed out of Unalaska

The Germans were said to have
advanced SO close to Stalingrad that
the important Stalingrad
railroad is virtually out of service
due to air and artillery lombard
ment. The rail line runs north and
south roughly 13 miles west of the
Vclga.
IN GOOD ORDER
The Russians appeared to be fall
ing back slowly and in food order
in fighting retreat which was in
flicting heavy casualties on the Ger
mans. However the weight of Ger
man men, material, tanks and
planes was denting the Soviet
lines.
While the greatest threat was to
Stalingrad, the Nazis also were
moving ahead in the Caucasus,
drawing closer and closer to the
Black Sea naval base of Novoros-
sisk and the oil center of Grozny.
Whether any Allied move to relax
the Nazi pressure on Russia could
Or would-be made was not clear.
However the day of the ultimate
offensive against Nazi Europe was
brought closer by the arrival in
Britain of a big American convoy
of troops ard war materials.
In the Far East the Chinese

ant positions along the Hangchow-
Nanchang railroad.
Already, the Soviet reports ad
mitted, the Moscow-Stalingrad rail-
read 13 miles west of the Volga
river is virtually useless due to
Nazi artillery bombardment and
constant air strafing.
TROOPS MASSED
Soviet reports said that the Ger
mans had massed more than 100000
troops in the bend of the river Don
and that this force is rolling ahead
to points within 40 miles or less of
Stalingrad.
The German drive was hitting
from two directions. the KletSkaya
and the Kotelnikovski sectors, and
in both the situation appeared to
be critical. The Russians admitted
that a new wedge had been made
into their lines around Kotelni-
kovSki.
The Nazi high command claimed
that German troops had forced a
crossing of the Don northwest of
Stalingrad and had pierced Soviet
defense lines to a great depth. The
Germans said they were across the
Don in major strength.
With the deepening of the Russian
front crisis attention was directed to
