NOTICE

Tax due potices are now in the process of being mailed to all real and personal property owners within the incorporated area of the city of Kodiak.

 THIS IS OF SPECIAL I'M PORTANCE TO THE PROP ERTY OWNER. Whether or not the property is properly identified on the city plat it is carried on the city tax rolls, and even if no notice IS received, the taxes accumulate each year and become a lien against the property.

 For their protection. all pro perty owners, who own property taxable by the city of Kodiak and who do not receive this year the customary tax due notice, or have not received such notice heretofore, are reminded to make the proper declaration of ownership as soon as possible.

African Front

Heavy bombers continued night-to-day poundings on Ital- ian mainland ports of Naples & Salerno. British subs in the Med- iterranean have sunk at least 13 Axis vessels recently. USAAF bombers struck the ferry termi nals of Reggie. Diculabria & San Giovanni; 20 AXIS fighters were shot down from a force of 40 in- tercepters. A little native Gurk- ha sergeant received Britain's highest award, the Victoria Cross, personally from King Geo. for decapitating 57 Germans while on reconnaissance during the battle of the Mareth Line. With 8 thin, curved knife he cleared a strongly held enemy position in a single night.

THREE MINUTES ARE UP
(Ontario Daily Repol.t)

We all have friends-and acquaint-
ances-who are very long windad over
the phone. They do not mean to in
fringe on our time nor do they mean to
be unnecessarily selfish in using the
phone. They just get ON the wire and
talk and talk.
Today when telephone lines every
where are carrying great loads and time
is precious, we would like to see the
Rochester, New York, plan tried out in
all cities. Buzzers are used to signal
and end of three minutes conversation
on local calls, as well as on long distance
toll calls.
This little buzzer, which warns that
three minutes are up" discourages the
fluent talker The interruption serves as
a reminder that someone else might like
to use the phone.
We hope the local telephone company
will consider using this simple device to
cut down over-long local phone calls.

SILENCE ON SlNKlNGS
MAY BE JUSTIFIED
tOroville Mercury

Raymond Gram Swing, who consistent
ly lacks up administration policies. diff
fers with 1t on its policy of silence con-
corning the toll of German submarines.
He speaks of this greatest war front
conducted with never cOmmuniQue and
predicts dire consequences some day for
the one responsible for this policy-who
must be Mr. Roosevelt.
The further We go into this war the
more cautious we become in criticism of
those who are running it. Unfortunately,
criticism must in most cases be delayed
until it is all over. The reason: we don't
know what we are talking about.
Ordinarily, we would say, publicity is
the best policy. But now the best policy
is to keep the enemy guessing. Our
avoidance of publicity regarding ship
sinkings naturally leads the enemy to
think that we are badly hurt. Our peo-
pie think that, anyway. If, on the con-
trary, we have the u-boat licked and gre
about to launch a terrific offensive, bas-
ed upon tremendous transportation pow
er, then the silence of the navy regarding
sinkings is entirely justified. Only time

U. S.-BRITISH CONTRAST

The right of innocent passage is
built upon similar right granted
TO merchant ships IN trade. This
is the right of "cabotage" = the
privilege to any carrier to bring
cargo into country in trans
shipment. Thus, a Canadian steam
ship line running to Bermuda might
make stops in Boston and New
York, but it could not carry pas
sengers or cargo between Boston
and New York.
Just as the British have tradi-
tionally found it to their advantage
to fight for freedom of the seas, so
now they appear to find it to their
advantage to support freedom OF
the air, or as they call it, the open
sky" policy.
From London, il is possible for
the British to fly to everyone of
their colonies except Canada over
a land route. From the United
States, however, it is possible to
fly over land to Canada and
Mexico only.
The United States can thus build
up it's future in air transport by
adhering to the doctrines of free
dom of the seas and the air over
the seas. The British on the other
hand must continue support for be-

The war has given the United

The United States is now in
position to become first nation i'm
the air, largely because il has
better equipment. Nevertheless,
much British fear and suspicion
of u. S.-built bases all over the
world is grOundless. Much Am
eriGln contention that the U. $.
should hang onto every one Of
those bases is ill-advised.
Commercial airline men are the
first to admit that most bases now
used for military and lend-lease
supply lines have no future as
bases for postwar commercial air
lines. The reason is simply thak
they are not located where there
is business. The string Of Ameri-
can bases across the African
desert is a typical example. None
of those bases has value to any
one except the British, who might
use them as colonial tie lines.
None of the routes follow the
great circle courses which will
be the shortest distances in the
postwar world.
The same goes for many military
and naval bases now held by the
United States in the Caribbean, in
Brazil, or wherever. They have their
values from a defense standpoint,

even be signal stops on the airlines

Russians Wind up
Winter Offensive:
Million kazis Die

MOSCOW, April 3. CUP)-ThC
Russians pushed spring campaign
against the shrinking German
bridgehead in the northwest Cauc-
asus today after winding up theil
triumphant winter offensive with
a record of 1,l93,525 Axis troops
killed or captured and 185,328 square
miles of territory liberated along
! a l,300-mile front.
Several more towns on the Tam
an peninsula have fallen to Soviet
/ forces pushing German troops back
against the Black sea and Sea OF
Azov, the midday communique
said. Particularly stubborn resist
ance was encountered on the ap-
proaches to one village, but Soviet
artillery shattered pillboXes and
paved the way for its capture. The
defending garrison was wiped out
and upwards of 300 dead were
counted on the field.
ON OTHER FRONTS
On other fronts, the midday
communique said, the Russians con-
solidated neWly-Won positions and
beat off minor counterattacks. No.
where was there any essential
change in the lines.
A special communique last night
announced that the Red army COM
pleted it's winter offensive on We'd
nesday, four months and 20 days
after it swung over to the attack
at Stalingrad.
During the intervening period,
the communique said, the Red ar
my:
Killed more than $4,000 Axis
troops and captured 343 ,525.
Destroyed or captured 5000 planes,
9,19O tanks and 20,36O guns.
Captured 1885 mortars, 3O705
machine guns, more than 100000
rifles, 100000 shells, 128,OOOOO0
rounds of ammunition, $4,000
trucks, 100 locomotives, $4,000 rail-
road cars and 1925 supply stores.
LARGE ADVANCES
Advanced in some sectors be-
tween 373 anud ABA miles.
Liberated regions of Russia which
have great economic, military and
strategic importance.
Liberated the most important riv-
er and railway communications of
the country, including the Volga
waterway interrupted by the bat
tie of Stalingrad in the autumn of
1922 and the whole course of the
Don.
The communique said the Rus
SLAMS inflicted upon the Germans
the largest defeat in the history of
wars at Stalingrad, and in addi-
ton lifted the blockade of Lenin-
grad, liquidated the enemy fortress
es in the Demiansk region of the
northwestern front and recaptured
the Strongholds of Rzhev, Gzhatsk
and Vyazma on the approaches to
Moscow.
