SEARCH ABANDONED
 FOR PLANE; JUNEAU
 PILOT DIES IN CRASH

Search for the Morrison-Knudsen Loekheed Electra plane piloted by Harold Gillian. we'll known Alaskan flier. has been abandoned by both the Canadian and American air forces it was disclosed in Ketchikan this week The plane has been miss ing three weeks. Any further search will be conducted by private planes.
 Gillian and his five passengers disappeared either in British Colum- bia wilderness or in the waters of the inside passage in a flight from Seattle to Anchorage but an inten- siye search by military planes oR both Canada and the United States has failed to yield a single clue to their fate.
 Meanwhile, divers from Ketchi- kan, Art Hook and William Rice, both of the Coast Guard, were flown to Juneau this week in an attempt to salvage the wreckage of a plane piloted by Dan Glass, veteran Alas ka pilot, which plunged into Cas- tineau Channel last week. The plane crashed shortly before 1 p. m. while travelling down the channel at a low altitude, in sight of many speeta- tors. It hit the water twice before the final plunge.
 Glass was about to take off with nine passengers from the Juneau airport when one motor of the two motored ship failed to function. He ordered the passengers out and the baggage removed and took off alone on a test flight. Witnesses say the pilot evidently had trouble gaining altitude. He narrowly missed the JuneauDougias bridge which spans the channel and just beyond it began losing altitude. Opposite Thane the ship struck the water, bounced and struck it a second time. Some wit nesses said the pilot had managed to crawl out and was seen on the wing or fuselage, but this was not confirmed. The plane remained afloat about ten minutes then sank. Two boats, about a mile away raced for the wreckage but arrived too late. All they found remaining were bits of wreckage and an oil slick which marked the spot of the trag- edy
 The two Coast Guard divers were flown to Juneau from KetcAikan by pilot Ray Renshaw of the Alaska ame Commission.

GR0UNDHOG, TIRED
 OF WINTER AND SLEEPS
 HOPES FOR RAIN TUESDAY

Sentinel reporter reports that he has been talking to his pet ground hog up on Mount Dewey, back of town.
 Being in a military zone, MT. Marmota Monax, commonly known as the grounding, was retieent to comment at too great length when questioned relative to the traditional Ground Hog Day, Fe- bruary 2, but he did offer the following:
 'I don't believe it's any mil itary secret to admit at this time that it has been colder than Hitler's feet since the Casablanea conference up here on the noun tain the last few weeks. My blood pressure gauge went down to ze- TO a couple of night last week and l had to slip down to get a little fuel oil from Fred and Brad. So far my pipes haven't frozen, but it's cost me plenty to prevent it, or is it because I've kept the water running?
 "At any rate, I've got a hunch, feel it in my bunions, that there may be a break before next Tues day. May be wish is father to the thought, but, you know, Pm get ting darn tired of this being holed up and if the sun is shining on February when I come out and I see my shadow I'm compelled by the almanac to go back in my hole for another six week. I hope it rains, so I won't see my shad- ow, but, don't tell the enemy if it does. That part is a military secret Re seeing you, Pal"

Overall Command

h London the world strategy meeting in Casablanea was said to lave forestalled a new German peace offensive and observers said the im- mediate effect is likely to the an- nouneement of an overall command ot the impending battle of Tunisia. Il was said an agreement had been reached on a commander to take fun charge Of British forces driving in from the east and British Amer ican and French armies pushing from the west. It was also expected plans were made to coordinate the efforts of Allied air forces in Libya. Malta and Tunisia, all of which are hammering at the same targets.
 In the United States most reac- tion 10 the world-startling confer ence was favorable. There was some criticism that the ends achieved did hot balance the risks taken. but on the whole sentiment appears to he that 1t forecast the beginning of the end for the Axis.

Definite Innovation
Admitted in Crosby's
Upcoming Role
HOLLYWOOD


Bing Crosby, of grooming fame,
will play the part of a song loving
Catholic priest in a Paramount pro-
duction to be released early next
year. Leo McCarey, producer, told
Religious News Service.
Describing the production as
definitely an innovation" McCarey
said he hoped Catholics would view
the experiment with open minds
until the film is ready for release.
Crosby, he said, will play the role
OF Father O'Malley. who sets the
catechism to lyrics and sings popu-
lar songs lin proper time and place"
just as readily as he renders the
"Adeste Fideles" in church on
Christmas morning.
The producer said that the screen
play is based upon an unconven-
tional theme, but insisted that the
film contains nothing unorthodox.
Both he and Crosby are Catholics,
he said, adding that two Catholic
priests are serving as special tech
nical advisers in the preparation of
the picture
The movie will be entitled Going
My Way and will have three priests
among its main characters.

Milk Subsidy Planned
By VIA as Congress
Opposition Increases

Amid signs of a new fight over
subsidies, the War Food Admin
istration prepared today to an
nounce an emergency dairy sub
sidy program designed to en-
courage producers to maintain
production of milk at maximum
levels.
At the same time. q bipartisan
bloc of Senators from dairy States
demanded that retail milk price
ceilings be lifted to encourage lag
ging milk production.
The group, firm in its opposition
to subsidies, has drafted tentative
bill that specifically would ban any
milk subsidy and would direct the
administrator to authorize higher
price ceilings where necessary to
bolster milk output.
Plan Floor Fight.
The militant lawmakers indicated
they would carry the fight to the
floor of the Senate Senator Aiken,
Republican, of Vermont declared
that unless Congress intervenes. "it
is apparent that the administration
is determined upon subsidy course.
