hit on the idea of a nationwide government financed advertising campaign to boom the falterlng scrap collection programs.
 Weeks were spent drawing up plans. After which, the advertising program was turned over to the firm of Hill & Knowlton. This is the same firm which the Senate Civil Liberties Investigating Committee criticized so severely for conduct ing an anti-labor campaign on be- half of union-f fighting steel con- panies.
 But that isn't all. WIPE insiders say that Hill & Knowlton have called in to assist them James Sel- wage, former National Manufact- urers Association publicity man, who recently departed from a $25- a-day Navy Department job while under hot laborite fire. It was charged that Salvage, while work ing for the Navy, secretary raised money from business men to fi- nance a campaign against the Presidents war labor policies.

Puppet Strings Breaking?
Philadelphia Record)


 Reports from London indicate that Hitler is tir- ing of his puppet, Laval
 The Gestapo it is said will take over the job of srppressng ant-Nazi outbreaks in occupied and un- occupied France if Laval-who has taken personal charge of French poce-doesnt do better
 It's not that Laval hasn't tried. He has made the motions every time Hitler pulled the strings.
 But the French people aren't impressed. They still hate the Nazis They still love freedom. They Know Laval for Naz even if he speaks French
 The French people hate him because he tried to force them into slavery.
 Hitler is getting weary of him because he tried and failed
 Only group still impressed by Lavals feeble mar ionette show at Vchy to be our own State De- partment It still sticks to the theory that Laval IS keeping the French fleet out of the hands of Htler
 Laval knows as the Washington Merry -Go-Round pointed out recently that it's 210 miles from London to Paris-whle it's 300 miles from London to Cologne or Essen If Laval tries to hand over the fleet, the British can launch 1000-pane flight on Paris, or Vichy.
 The United States should take the initiative, break off relations with Hiters faterng puppet and seize Martinique.

Justice William o. Douglas of the United States Supreme Court speaking
 "Ihe press clearly has fight it's hands. It must make war illusions and our wishful thinking. Our democracy cannot function effec- lively unless free press helps the people to keep themselves mentally fit. Let never forget that free frank and bold disc ussion is the very life of this kind of government.
 We as a people know substitute for a free press For the people cannot keep themselves mentally fit and alert in this unfamiliar complicated, kaleidoscopically changing world without the aid and guidance of free and masterfuly competent press.
 And yet the press is not free and effective simply by virtue of not being bued CT suppressed. It according to the spirit of institutions only when it accepts the responsibility of it's nde- pendence and, of it's votion, helps the people advance toward the realization of their aspirations.
 When we have fought our way to victory the Nazs will finally understand that the decisive secret weapon in arsenal is the mind and the spirit of the average American, who wants the truth and who always wants to know how he can do his job better This is the reason why the average American is counting on the ability of the press to keep him on the right course during thece dark days"
 We're glad that have the opinion of at least member of the highest court in the United States on this matter because believe that before this thing over the Supreme Court is going to have to decide whether still have free press.
 To start out with the War Department asked the press cooperate in keeping all information out Of the newspapers that might prove useful information to any enemy
 That request that hardly needed to be asked It was something very easy to understand
 The present attitude of suppression of truth, Of dogmatc orderng-DONT PRINT THAT'S not easy to understand because must withhold information from the public which is not valuable information to the enemy because it is information which the en- emy already has, or information which would not help the enemy.
 The American purhc is in the dark as far as this war is concerned-especialy far Alaska is concerned Military authorities want no news at all

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

TUESDAY, JULY T

TUESDAY, JULY T
 Conflicting and changing plane tarv influences may be active today which are promising for initiative and seem to stimulate offensive ac- ton.
 HEART AND HOME: Grandpar- ents in households should be helpful in supplying experience and dlrec- tion of families that must meet ex- treme emergencies. The stars pre- sage many domestic anxieties and sorrows that will prove the courage of the people of the United States. Great victories are to be measured by supreme sacrifices when an all out war demands an all-out utlllza- tion of national strength. rms IS fairly favorable sway for women and seems to promise happy mar riaee for brides on this date. Danger of deception in love affairs IS lore told for all the summer months. Hasty romances should be avoided.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Venus in the ninth house has been announced as most promising to business In the United States and Canada. Venus Is the star of victory which is to be more and more foreshadowed as the next few weeks pass. Trade ana commerce should be stimulated under this configuration which promises success in transporting immense cargoes to the armies or the United Nations. While losses of few merchantmen are indicated they will be of minor importance. NATIONAL ISSUES: Achieve ment reported regarding the thou sands of women who have enlisted 1 in industry and the Army and Navy auxiliary services will stimulate na- tional effort toward complete sup port of all that pertains to war needs. Unity of thought and action new will make possible splendid pro duction and generous contributions of civilian time and strength. In- creased sales of bonds will amount to immense totals before the. end of the year.
 ! INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Demonstration of the superiority of American airplanes and those who 1 fly them will continue to swell the tide that sweeps on to victory TOT the United Nations While the dan ger of premature optimism has been frequently emphasized by the seers' they read in the stars steady pro gress of the forces fighting for lib- erty. Defeat of the Axis is to mean complete disintegration of the enc mics with death for Hitler, for whom suicide or assassination is prog nosticated.
 1 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of unusually pleasant experiences including so- cial contacts, favors from friends or relatives and financial benefits.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be highly intelligent and progressive. Success in the arts as well as in vacations requiring me- chanical skill may be attained.

SCRAP IRON TO JAPAN

Now that Donald Nelson is ever appealing for old war monuments it is interesting to recall the State Departments conversations, regard ing scrap iron for Japan.
 As early as August, l940, Secre- taries Stimson, Ickes, Knox ano Morgenthau persuaded the Presi- dent to sign an embargo against further shipments of scrap iron to Japan. But when Secretary Hull saw the embargo he held it up, per suaded the President to modify 1t so that it applied only to No. grade of scrap.
 On another occasion, before Pearl Harbor, Vice President Wallace sat in on conferences with the State Department and urged an immedi- ate embargo on scrap iron to Japan
 "We're going to wake up and find ourselves caught short" ar gued Wallace, with the scrap iron being fired back at us in the form of bombs"
 Secretary Hulls representative smiled condescendingly.
 Let's be patient" he said, we may find that Japan is fighting oA our side in the end"

OFFICERS ARE HONOR GUESTS
 AT RECEPTION

Officers of the United States Armed Forces were the guests of honor Friday evening at a dancing party given by Gov. and Mrs. Er- nest Gruening in the Governors Mansion in Juneau.

 Light refreshments were served during the evening and a buffet supper at midnight. The table was beautifully decorated with a red, white and blue centerpiece. A cop per bowl with glass balls was used and flowers were white gladiolas, red sweet Williams and blue snap dragons. The American Flag and the Alaska Flag also shared honor places in the decorations.

heads of WIPES Bureau of Indust- rial Conservation, in charge of scrap collection.
 Under Director Leasing Rosenwald and Deputy Director Paul c. Cabot. this Bureau has been one of the biggest busts of WIPE, and they have a confidential letter in their files officially telling them so. The letter is from Undersecretary of War Robert Patterson and Under secretary of Navy James Forrestal, who bluntly told Rosenwald and Cabot that their agency has been very intellectual.
 This should have been nothing new to the two gentlemen involved, for last winter more than 30 steel mills suspended work for lack of scrap iron. Even now, although all mills are operating, Rosenwald and Cabot are still puttering around on plans to build up an ample re- serve stockpile of scrap for next winter.
 FIN MESS
 The misnanagement of scrap tin collection has been even worse, if that is possible
 Tin is one of the most acutely scarce metals in the LISA. Yet, except for some half-baked, falter- ing efforts. little has been done to collect the thousands of tons of tin cans easily obtained from the patriotic housewives of the whole country. These cans, incidentally,
 At present the United States would also provide scrap iron. has five tin-Salvage plants with capacity of 225 900 tons. Others planned and under construction will raise this figure to around 100000 tons in 1943. But meanwhile, due to the bungling of Rosenwald and Cabot, the plants already in exist tence aren't getting enough tin scrap to keep them running at full load.
 That is the sort of mastermindinp that has botched the record of the Bureau of Industrial Conservation from its start.

Check-Up On Gas
Rationing Cards
Some b And X Cards
Being Turned In

Threatened with defeat of the
purposes of gasoline rationing by
excessive issuance of TX" cards In
some Eastern communities. The
Office of Administration has launch
ed an intensive and far-reaching in
vestigation on several fronts.
While many persons in Cecil
County have returned their priv
ileged B and X cards, no informa-
ton on the exact number can be
released at this time. The threat
ened publishing of the names Of
B and x cards has not materialized
as yet. Mr.. John Maloney in charge
of the gasoline registration here
stated that no information has come
from Washington regarding such ac-
ton and consequently he cannot re-
lease the names until he is author
lied to do so. A check-up on the
holders of these cards has not yet
been started in Cecil County.
Recognizing that some motorists
undoubtedly applied for and receiv-
ed tx" cards, permitting unlimited
purchase of gasoline, through mis-
understandings Of the conditions Of
eligibility for such cards, OPA
reiterated these conditions and in
vited "X' card holders who were
improperly classified to exchange
these cards voluntarily for "A and
81 cards.
Rationing officials were requested
to make such changes without ques-
ton for few days. The investiga-
ton, however, is going forward In
full swing. Those who may have OBJ
tanned TX" cards without justifica-
ton and fail to exchange them will
be searched out and reclassIfied.
