A @C-EYE VIEW
 OF NOME
By CPL. W. D. STARNES

It has definitely been a. hec- tic week as far as the average Mister G-r was concerned. Highlighting the situation was the arrival of the newest USO Camp Shows Overseas Unit 100. Lucille and Eddie Burnett supplied the magic while Marcella Blanton, Helen Mcclure, Lucille Lane and Stanley Erickson furnished the musical numbers as we'll as a few special dance routines. One of the outstanding sequences of the show was the vocal inter- Jude by Lucille Lane might add thAt Chaplain Pratt. Sgt. Tommy Gay and S-Sgt O'Brien are in position to give inter- ested listeners few of the more intimate details. All in all it was definitely the finest show of this type that this command has had the pleasure of viewing and it has been a pleasure to have them in our midst.
 Sgt. Parker, the new maltre d. of our new Service Club is real iy hitting the ball getting things in readiness for the hungry G-Is. We are all looking forward to the grand opening which should be any moment now.
 One doesn't see many bare ears protruding these days since the Arctic winds have been whipping it up a bit. Sgt. Nc Clelland, one of the newer faces, seemed to be experiencing a few difficulties with that new parka. And with all this fresh snow covering the ground. it shouldn't be in the too distant future that our ski lodge will again open it's doors for the fellows to warm those chilled fingers and semi numb feet. It was certainly a: welcome haven last winter and with the planned improvements for this season it should be even better.
 Don't forget to keep in close touch with your first sergeant regarding details of the new Ser vice Club. You can take f7ris as real inside tip. It's really going to be tops.

SINK 10 ENEMY 

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-(AP) American submarines cruising in the Pacific, have sunk 10 enemy vessels and damaged four oth- CTS, according to figures con- tained in a communique issued by Secretary of the Navy Knox in press conference. This rat- ed the total of Japanese ships sunk to 474, including probables.
 Knox also announced the inn provement of the sub situation in the Atlantic has made it possible to discontinue plans for construc- ton If from four to seven vessels for use in ani-sub work, and to use the construction facilities thus released to build vessels to aid amphibious operations all over the world.
 He said also that with the in creasing activities in the Paci- fife, it is deemed advisable to im- prove the repair facilities on the west coast. Therefore, the con- struction of three cruisers and seven destroyers have been transferred to east coast yards.

 URGES RAISE
 IN FOOD FUNDS

WASHIraGrON, Nov. 1.-Ap) President Roosevelt, in an ex- review of the world food situation, urged congress to continue and to increase admins trations to $500, ,00o, 900 for the food subsidy program, to assure adequate supply to prevent seri- ous cycle of imitation, to a legis- lature which has been sharply critical to federal subsidies, and leaned rather toward the higher farm. prices to encourage, greater for the war.
 The President sent his message. 10000 words, to the capitol with an assurance to the American people that there would be enough food to go around, and also specifically nailed reports of meat famine this winter, de- ciaring the price support pro- gram was being reasonably sac cessful.
 There are two objectives: in- creasing production and main taining fair food prices 70 the consumer.

ISLAND BASES
BY THOMAS M. JOHNSON
(NEA Military Writer)

Little Portugal is ready to go to
war. There is every indication that
It intends to trade its long-cher-
isheG neutrality for a place beside
the Uloited Nations in opposing first
Japan and then the entire Axis.
Such a move would have causes and
consequences surprising to many
Americans and of great and we'll
calculated Importance in the mill
tary scheme Of things to come.
Portugal generally is thought
oof as a sort of pop-gun principal
ity producing mostly corks and
port wine, and currently serving
as a hotbed of international in
trigue. It's 100000 people inhabit-
some $4,000 square miles along the
hilly western shoulder Of the Iber-
ian peninsula. Nowhere in the pic
ture is there anything ir1pressively
martial.
TAIL WAGS DOG
Yet Dictator Oliveira Salazar is
warning his people that they must
be ready for trouble at home and
abroad-a grave hour" which must
be met Eat any moment" He has
increased his army, got some arms
from Britain and some planes from
us (through accidental landings)
and has strengthened Lisbon's de-
lenses against air raids.
So totalitarian Portugal, hitherto
safely neutral, marches as to war on
the side Of Democracy. Why?
Because the Portuguese dog is
wagged by its tail-its colonies.

King attributes the success of
his anti aircraft defenses to the
fact that his outfit, despite 81
months of service outside OF the
continental United States, is virtu-
ally intact. At least so per cent Of
the personnel he left home with are
still with him. He estimates that
his guns alone have accounted for
about 5 per cent OF the total

and various islands. vt Is Salazar's
desire to keep them that is believed
to be driving him into the war, for
he fears that unless he fights for
them against the Axis, he win lose
them to the United Nations This
sounds contradictory, but here Is
the background:
An age-old alliance with Britain
has not prevented Portugal from
going totalitarian OF from being
pretty friendly toward Hitler when
he was winning. Lisbon has been
used by the Axis intelligence SER
vices as their principal funnel for
information from the Americas via
Argentina. And Mozambique has
served the same purpose for in
formation from South and Central
Africa.
Portugal has allowed the Japs to
walk into her strategic island OF
Timor, near Australia, and now they
threaten TO occupy Macao, about As
miles from Hong Kong. The United
Nations are asking Portugal to yield
them this second advantage and
Salazar may be asking himself If,
when the Allies are victorious, they
win let Portugal keep these possess
sions, perhaps to be yielded to the
next aggressor. Also, Portugars
African colonies are badly managed.
Portugal could bring to the IN
tied Nations far more aid than her
meager army or small navy can
provide. The army, II well-trained
and equipped, might help in hot
weather Pacific offensive, hut 1t
numbers little more than 100000.
More valuable than outright mil
itary aid would be the plugging Of
the spy leaks.
But Portugal's greatest contribu-
ton would lie In the mere geogra-
phical position of herself and her
possessions. Portugal and French
North Africa would form the north
ern and southern jaws Of q nut
cracker rnenacing Spain and i'm
mediately crushing any lingering
danger Of Franco poining Eitler.
The coast Of Portugal would pro-
vide an excellent base for Allied
warfare by sea and air against Ger
man submarines in the eastern At.
lantic. This protection for our ship
ping routes to the Medi -rranean
and down the African ccast would
be intensified by the greatest con-
tribution Of all-Portugals line Of
island colonies from the Azores
southwark through Madeira to the
Cape Verdes. From these outposts
off Gibraltar and West Africa, our
naval vessels and aircraft could
fight submarines far better than
now. Our Navy provided that IN

soon, Is our Mediterranean opera

the African spy peephole against
Nazi-Jap eyes prying into what

Some Fascist minded Portuguese
mobiles still oppose war, but major
" sentiment favors 1t. The plight OF
the colonies is q big factor, and so
is the expectation that Portuguese
speaking Brazil soon will send
troops to Africa. Still other influ-
ences are he failure Of Portugals
Fascist Guild system, and anger ct
NaA treatment Of the Vatican.
What Salazar will decide to do
Is stu not a certainty. But the
answer may lie In this one clear
fact: For safe-keeping, most OF
Portugals gold is in the United
States.
