CIVILIAN GOODS:
No Further Cuts?

Taking stock of Americas indus
trial power, Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of the War Production
board, declared that To-day we are
turning out more goods for war than
we ever produced for our peacetime
needs, yet we have enough power
left over to keep civilian standards
of living at high level"
Mr.. Nelson predicted in an address
in Chicago that the United States
this year will turn out more than 80
billion dollars worth of goods for war
purposes. The WPB chiefs 1913 es-
innate compares with 48 billion in
1912, the first year after Pearl Har-
Dor, II billion in 1941 and four billion
in 1910, the year Germany smashed
her way across Europe.
The figures will get even bigger,
Mr.. Nelson said, adding "as they
grow the armies and cities of the
Axis will feel an ever-fiercer flame,
more terrifying blast from the
guns and bombs of America"
Eventual victory, he declared, al
ready is being foreshadowed in the
"cold hard figures of production"

POSTWAR PLANS:
Poland Speaks Up

With postwar peace plans gaining
increased attention in Allied chan
cellories, the Polish government-in-
exile served notice that Poles would
resist ''to the last man" any claims
from any quarter aimed at the
sovereignty and integrity of Po-
land"
Spokesman for the Poles was
Prime Minister Wladyslaw Sikorski,
now a resident of London. Target
of the statesman's remarks was
Russia, since the Soviet government
recently announced its intention of
retaining the Polish Ukraine and the
area bordering on White Russia
which was taken from Poland I'M
der the German-Russian partition of
Poland in 1899.
But even as he stoutly proclaimed
his doctrines of independence, Sikor-
ski recommended that an Allied air
force should go to the Russian front
after the fighting in Tunisia is con-
cluded as an expression of United
Nations solidarity. He predicted
third German offensive by the Ger
man armies against Russia.

FOOD SUBSIDY:
Urged to Aid Poor

Suggesting that the government
pay persons in low income groups
special allowances to enable them
to buy sufficient food, Roy F. Hen
erickson, head of the Food Distribu-
ton administration, declared he be-
ieved that otherwise these people
would find it tough to get food"
Emphasizing that his statements
were his own personal views, Hen
erickson declared that the plan he
advocates would aid the farmer.
Declaring the problem had to be
treated from both ends" he said
that the farmer had become dis
couraged because food costs have
gone so high while prices paid him
have not risen in proportion.
eve have got to see that the farm
er is able to market his stuff" Hen
erickson declared. Any volume of
income to the purchasing class is
bound to help the farmer"
In addition to the low income
groups, he suggested payments for
the aged, the blind and otherwise
handicapped.

INVESTIGATIONS:
OF u. Shield Foods

Into maze of charges and
countercharges that the government
itself had become No. l food hoard
er, the senate's Truman Investigate
ing committee plunged in an effort
to obtain the facts.
Chairman Harry S. Truman an
nounced that two-way investiga-
ton was in progress. One phase
is to inquire into the amount of food
held by government agencies. The
other was to investigate the needs
of the armed forces. Information
from both government and private
sources had been obtained, he said.
Previously, members of the food
trade and others had charged that
the armed services are boarding
processed foods and thus forcing less
than necessary civilian allowances
under rationing.
Supplies of food for the armed
forces must be sufficiently great to
assure that there will be plenty of
food for our soldiers and sailors"
Truman said. However, care must
be taken to assure that the govern
ment does not itself become a
hoarder."

OTTAWA: Meat rationing for
Canada, effective early in May on
the basis of two pounds a person
a week, was announced by Finance
Minister James Ilsley. Meatless
days will be observed in restaurants,
hotels and other public eating places
after plans being prepared by the
dominion price board are completed.
The ration represents reduction of
about one-haf pound week.
BERNIE: AS threats of an Allied
invasion increased, the Italian gov
eminent published the text of new
law which would place the entire
country under military rule and send
all men and women of II years or
older into military detachments in
the event of invasion. Completing
a tour of Sicily, Aldo Vidussoni, Sec
rotary of the Fascist party, declared
that every town and city is fort"
Rome radio reports indicated the
Italians expect an attack as soon as
the fight for Tunisia is over. Reports
persisted that the Italian fleet was
now in German hands.

WASHINGTON: Two new rear adj
mirals were added to the navy's ros-

mated Capt. Joseph r. Redman of
Reno, New, and Capt. Francis

SOUTH PACIFIC:
Bombs Break LuIL

American bombs exploding on
Kiska in the Aleutian Islands, Villa
in the central Solomons, Kahili in
the Shortlands and in japanese hold
ings north of Australia broke the lull
in the Pacific war theater.
While the foregoing raids had
nuisance and punitive value, General
MacArthur's fliers in New Guinea
centered their attacks on enemy sup
ply and communication lines be-
tween Wewak and Madang and
strafed the entire Salamaua area.
A communique from Allied head
quarters said that low-altitude raids
in the Salamaua area with bombs,
cannon and machine gun fire had
subjected this front to the most in
tensive damage this Jap base had
yet received. -.
Allied airmen continued their raids
on the airdromes at Lac and at
Timika in Dutch New Guinea.

NORTH AFRICA:
Axis Hold Shrinks

Of key Importance in heralding
the possibility of an earller-than-ex-
pected finish of the TuniSian cam
paign were reports that the harbor
and shipping facilities of Gabes had
been left unchanged by the Axis
forces in their hasty retreat from
Gen. Montgomery's onslaughts.
With Gabes functioning as an Al
lied supply port, the long overland
haul of war materials from Tripoli
or Bengazi far down the African
coast in Libya could be avoided.
Moreover, Allied sea and air power
concentrated in Gabes could further
harass the Axis forces.
The all-over battle for North At
RIGA was not yet won, but steadily
British armies from the north and
south and American armies from
the center were tightening the
squeeze on the remaining Axis
troops in Tunisia.
AS Marshal RommePs forces had
made their last desperate effort to
beat their way northward for a juno
ton with Col. Gen. Won Arnim's
troops in the Bizerte area, reports
indicated that the Axis had flown
fresh troops into Tunisia. To re-
ieve the pressure on Rommel, Won
Arnim's forces had staged brief
counter offensive against British
forces near Bizerte. Control of the
air over North Africa had appeared
to be turning overwhelmingly in the
Allies favor, as raids shook the Axis
lines and turned RommePs retreat
into a nightmare.
Meanwhile in answer to reports
that Germany had Communicated
the Italian fleet and all available
French merchantmen preparatory to
an attempt to evacuate Italo-Ger-
man armies from Tunisia in an Axis
"Dunkirk," the Allies staged an
unprecedented raid by 100 Flying
Fortresses that smashed the impor-
tant Axis supply base at Cagliari,
Sardinia, damaging 26 merchant
ships and putting II enemy planes
out of commission. Simultaneous
ly, waves of American Billy Mitch
ell bombers struck at an Axis con-
voy in the Sicilian narrows, sinking
at least three large ships and leav-
ing others burning and settling.

DRAFT:
Reaches Var Plants

AS the need for military manpow-
er increased nationwide search Of
war factories for men of draft age
who could be replaced by women or
older men was undertaken. So great
is the need, Selective Service Of
ficials revealed, that the canvass
of the war plants might result in
calling for military service thou
sands of men now classified "a and
2B-men actually producing tools of
war or working in direct support of
the war effort.
State directors of Selective Serv-
ice, comforting in Washington with
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, draft
director, surveyed the overall OPP
erations covering inductions for the
future.
Not only would practices govern
ing the drafting of fathers be clearly
defined, but under consideration
were measures in connection with a
compulsory labor draft, investigat
ing of labor boarding by war indus
tries and the return to agricultural
work of farm workers who have en-
tered industry

TIRES:
Synthetics O. k.

Two events pointed to the conclu-
sion that the nations synthetic rub
Der producing program was pro-
ceeding successfully.
One was the appearance Of Rub
Der Director William M. LETTERS be-
fore a senate committee with a
heavy duty synthetic truck tire and
his statement that the artificial
elastic had been perfected "to the
point where it will very nearly meet
all requirements without mixing with
natural rubber"
The other was the action of the
rubber division and the department
of agriculture in reducing the i'm
mediate planting of guayule, a rub
Der producing shrub from $4,000
acres to between $4,000 and 10000
acres.
LETTERS warned, however, that the
rubber situation was still critical.

RUSSIA:
Mud Unlimited

Yards rather than miles were the
measure of Russian gains on the
Smolensk sector as the thaw-sod-
dened central front was further
mired by heavy spring rains.
Further to the south, however, the
Red forces menaced the steadily
shrinking German bridgehead in the
Northwest Caucasus by the capture
of Anastasevskaya, 80 miles north
west of Novorossisk on the last high
way link between Nazi forces north
and south of the Kuban river.
Elsewhere, fresh German tank as
saults against the Soviet line on the
Donets river east of Kharkov were
rolled back by the stout Red defend
ers. In the north the Germans tacit-
ly reported retreat near Staraya
Russo, between Moscow and Lenin-
grad, by admitting Withdrawal
to prepared positions.

JUNEAU SKIING IS ACCLAIMED
 AT CLUB MEET

That skiing in this area is uneX- celled anywhere in Alaska was the opinion expressed by Lieut. Bill Dean at a business meeting of the Juneau Ski Club held in the City Hall last evening.
 Lieut.. Dean mentioned briefly his experiences skiing in the Pacific Northwest and in several parts of the Territory as a background for his opinion. He listed as the prime necessity for Juneau skiing, an ad- equate tow in the upper ski, bowl.
 The first evening party of the season, open to members of the Juneau Ski Club and invited guests, will be held next Monday evening in the Odd Fellows Hall, Social Chairman Ernest Parsons an- nounced. Details will be revealed la ter. Each member of the club may invite a guest to the affair 8

tenant commander.
 Tn 1924. he made statement that he now looks back upon as one oi the worst guesses he ever made Ill his life. He resigned from the Navy hecause he felt that there will nev- or he another major war in my lie time and that he could best serve lis country and his beloved Hawaii in other ways.
 When the yellow men swarmed m Pearl Harbor, there was no an- oriar man in Congress than the Delegate from Hawaii. But for the obligations of his office, he would have resigned then and there to return to the Navy. Only the in- sistence of his constituents that he see this year through until they could elect his successor has kept King from bolting into the thick of the Pacific battle.
 When it came time for close of the 77th Congress and Aloha, ; Rep H. Carl Anderson of Minne- sota said, T am satisfied that our friend Sam King will lead the way into Tokyo"
 King said, Nothing would please me more" That's a simple state ment, but you should have heard the way he said it.
 In his final words to congress, King paid high tribute to his suc- cessor, Joseph R. Harrington, who is publisher of the Honolulu Star Bulletin, the largest English-speak- ing newspaper in the islands.
 Harrington is a former member of the congressional press galleries. having served here as correspond ent for the Star-Bulletin, and also for the Philadelphia Public Ledger : A two-fisted scrapper, he un- doubtedly will be heard from often. Even before the swearing-in cere- mony, Harrington was cracking away on efforts to have Hawaii re- turned to civilian rule. There is. it appears, considerable resentment against continued martial law in the Islands. King is a man who can command seagoing battle wagon. Best guess now is that Harrington will prove no less fighting man.

B. F. HeinizIeman Explains Purposes of Gam
 paign Now On

The Juneau Chamber of Con- merce today pledged the active sup port of it's members to the current campaign for the benefit of crip- pied children of ,Ianeau and viciri- ity.
 Regional Forester B. Frank Heint- zleman, chairman of the campaign, spoke briefly at the noon meeting in the Baranof Hotel, outlining the objectives of the drive and urging the support of the Chamer.
 Tickets to a benefit dance which will be held Saturday, January 30, in the Elks Ballroom, and a re- ception in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel, are now being sold throughout the Gastineau Chan nel area. Cash contributions also are being solicited
 The money will be used solely for the crippled children of this area. The fund will remain in Ju- neau but the Federal government will match the amount raised here and this money also will be used for the less fortunate youngsters.
 Those wishing to send in contri- buttons may address the checks to the Regional Forester's Office, U s. Forest Service, Juneau. Several large contributions already have been received by the office, some of them from anonymous donors.

Children who, Is years ago, con- tributed the pennies and dimes that restored the historic Battleship Oregon to it's original trim lines and sturdy interior, are being given some indirect return for their in vestment in additional to the know ledge that the tons of scrap iron in her hull are going to slay the Axis.
 With each war bond purchase in Oregon during the month of De- cember, went a memorial souven- ir made from the seasoned old oak ripped from the living quarters be- low decks.
 Other souvenirs from the gallant old seadog are a cigarette box for presentation to the President, and gavels for the governors of every state in the Union
 The souvenirs are being turned out in the shop of Bernard Mccain, industrial art teacher at the Sabin School, Portland
