A cool breeze from the Pacific
waited the napefy Of the outdoor
restaurant of Fordney's favorite
San Francisco hotel.
"Ah, Professor What IN
agreeable surprise! May ! Join
you for dinner?" Short, stocky,
black. bearded Horst Blockdofi
dropped into a chair. Over cocA-
tails the two exchanged amiable
small talk. Then Blockdrof-
very smoothly:
do you not, Herr Professor,
find 1t er-hazardous, to so. SO
closely interest yourself in the
affairs of others? ! recall" he
continued suavely, "that acct
dent in Berlin-most regrett-
able-just before Austria. that
laid you up for months. And did
I not hear that only last month
you barely escaped removal
from the err. :. passing scene by
the redoubtable Rashoffky? One
imagines, my dear Herr Profes-
sor, that frequently you are in
danger; in some places. al.
most constantly. Certain parts
of San Francisco, for example
One of your proclivities-but
here, our steaks have arrived"
"Your solicitude, my dear
Herr Blockdorf, Is quite cap
tivating-and amusing. But you
see. Why, hello, Georg e!''
Fordney rose and chatted a mo-
ment with a passing friend.
81 see you are not to be per-
suaded, Herr Professor" Block
dorf said with a smile as Ford
ney resumed his seat. do you
care for salt?"
THANK you" Fordney poised
the salt shaker handed him over
his steak. Although absolutely
identical with all other shakers
used by the hotel, the Professor
knew it was not the one he had
used a few minutes earlier for
his soup.
IAN extremely stupid attempt
Blockdorf," he said. Attempted
poisoning-especially by q Gest-
apo agent-means twenty years

lawyer who also headed the de-
Tense mediation board, will be
one of four men representing
the public. Industry and labor
will be represented by four each,
with labor's representation d.
vided equally between the Go
and the ALL.
MEMBERSHIP
Members aside from Davis
are:
Public: George w. Taylor,
professor of economics ut the
University of Pennsylvania. who
will serve as vice chairman;
Frank p. Graham, president of
the University of North Caro-
lima and, like Davis, a member
of the defense mediation board;
and Wayne l.. Morse, dean of
the University of Oregon law
school and chairman of the
presidential fact-finding COM
mittee which settled the threat
ened nationwide railroad strike
in December.
Industry: A. w. Hawkes.,
president of the United States
chamber of commerce and of
Congoleum-Nairn, Inc, Mont
clair, N. j.; Roger D. Lapham
of San Francisco, chairman of
the board of the American-Ha-
waiian Steamship Company; E.
]. Mcmillan, president of STAN
dard Knitting Mills, Inc; and
Walter c. Teagle, of New York,
chairman of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey. Lap
ham and Teagle served on the
defense mediation board.
Labor: Thomas Kennedy, Of
Washington, secretary-treasurer
of the United Mine Workers
(CIO); George Meany. New
York, secretary-treasurer of the
ALL; r. j. Thomas, Detroit,
president of the United Automo-
bile Workers of America (CIO);
and Matthew Vol. Washington,
vice president of the AL.
Meany and Kennedy served on
the old board, but Kennedy re-
signed in disagreement over
board policies.
In his order, Mr.. Roosevelt
that the first step in
settling q dispute shall be direct
negotiation or procedure pro-
vided in a collective bargaining
agreement. If this fails, the Unit
ed States Cancellation service,
if not already participating, will
try to work out q settlement.
Should this method fail to bring
about a settlement, the case
would be certified to the board
by the secretary Of labor or the
board could take jurisdiction aft
er consulting the Secretary of
Labor.
The board then would chart
a course for settlement, through
mediation, voluntary arbitration
or. arbitration under rules Of its
own creation. 2
Government labor officials ex-
pressed the view that the new
board would prove more success
full in preventing work Interrupt
tons because of its authority to
resort to arbitration when all
other means of settlement fail.
Under this procedure both sides
of dispute agree to accept the
recommendations of an umpire.
The old board relied upon the
force of public opinion to en-
force its recommendations, but
had no power beyond that of q
mediating body.

Blows in Battle of Russia Struck at C0mmunied-
 lion Lines 10 East

LONDON, April 2-The British Royal Air Force kept it's word and bombed again last night in West and Northwest Germany and around Paris against industrial ob- jectives and communications.
 In the far ranging raids effected during the night, says the British Air Ministry, fifteen bombers are reported missing.
 The British interpretation on these attacks sees them as new blows in the battle of Russia, since they were directed primarily against railway lines carrying munitions from the Ruhr to the Eastern front and against truck making fac tory eight miles outside of Paris.

WASHINGTON, April 2- Sharp skirmishes on Batan Peninsula are reported by the War Department today in the wake of the latest large scale attack by the Japanese on the American and Filipino de- lenders positions but no general action followed yesterdays battle in which the troops of Gen. Jona- than Wainwright brought a Jep- anese attack to an abrupt halt ln a fierce hand-to-hand combat.
 Meanwhile, intermittent air at tacks continued around the clock on the Manila Bay harbor de- lenses, but the War Department said that the Jap bombers were forced to fly at such high alti- tudes that the bombing was made ineffective.
 At the same time, the big guns of Fort Mills on Corregidor Island engaged in a duel with the Jap batteries on the south shore of the bay. The War Department conn., munique said that neither the Jap bombing or shelling inflicted any damage on the defenders forts.

 AIR ATTACK
 HITS CITY
Low Booming Seaplane Makes Air Raid Drill
 Most Realistic

Shortly before 11:30 o'clock. this forenoon, lone plane zoomed low over Juneau and theoretically emp. tied bombs on the city. Immedi-I ately the air raid alarm blasted out its warning. People on the streets scurried for cover and mem bers of Juneau Civilian Defense Unit hurried to their posts. Chil-i dren evacuated the public schools and ran for shelter.
 The plane, piloted by Alex Hold en, zoomed over the city twice.
 First aid stations were manned to care for the theoretically wound ed and ambuiances roared up and down the streets holding up their end of the practice drill.
 Members of the auxiliary police division, rifles in hand, occupied posts protecting the docks and business houses Air raid wardens took up their stands.
 It was touch of what the real thing could be like and Juneau residents were given a chance to see just how fast death and de- struction can strike from the air It was Juneau's third air raid drill in as many weeks, the first Of the series carried out during business and school hours A meeting of the Civilian De- fense Beard will be held in the City Hall tonight at o'clock to discuss the drill and determine its effectiveness.
 Teachers report that at the first zoom of the plane the eyes of the pupils m the lower grades looked in momentary bewilderment, but with little indication of any ter TOT, and at the sound of the alarm went stoically to their cloak rooms, took their wraps and without any commotion marched to the out doors and then hurried to homes or other shelters.
 Supt. A. B. Phillips announced this afternoon that the practice alarm naturally brought out some defects which will be corrected. He said that a checkup showed that bus pupils went to the homes as signed to them in Juneau in per- l feet order.

NEW RATE RULES ARE
 EXPLAINED
Surthdrge Reduction Only for Southeast AL
 aska Ports

WASHINGTON, April 2 = The Maritime Commission order fixing Alaska Steamship Company and the Northland Transportation Com pany's basic rate so as not to yield return of more than t percent applies to Alaska shipping generally, it was disclosed today The surcharges reduction, however which the Commission ordered re- duced from 45 percent to 20 per cent, applies to Southeast Alaska only.
 The Commission yesterday or dered the surcharge reduction tc be effective by next Monday A revision of basic rates to fix the return rate to 6 percent was or dered to be brought about by May 1.
 Not Unreasonable
 The Commission said it found "the existing AS percent surcharge hasn't been shown to be unreason- able on rates for Alaska ports other than in Southeast Alaska, and we further find that the sur harge is unreasonable to the ex- tent that it exceeds 20 percent on rates for Southeast Alaska ports.
 The Commission reported that 1t had found the Alaska Steamship Company had made 194l return of 115 percent on its investment and the Northland Company, 6.37 Yercent. Previously the Commission had set 7.5 percent as the faii rate of return on the companies properties.
 The revised rate order followed hearings held in Washington, D c. and in Seattle after Alaskans had voiced protest to the 45 per cent surcharge.
 Said Gov. Ernest Gruening: "l am very much gratified at the modification. Those who want tf make Alaska their home, won al important victory"

 According to Brig Gen. William c. Rose, the Army's No. mailman, several hundred letters can be photographed on small roll If film. Hundreds of rolls can be transported to our distant theatres of war operations and there en- larged photostatic copies made for delivery. Not only will the mail go through but it will go through faster and much more safely.
