Ironclad censorship p has been clamped on all political dispatches out of Finland as a tension gripped the country in recent weeks and ap- pears to be developing to an Easter crisis.
 Underground reports from Hel- sinki received in Stockholm indicate such crisis might go far in de- termining Finland's position Tn the war. She is now fighting against Russia as well as her relations with the Allied Nations. German pressure on the Films is said to be increasing.
 Yesterday it was announced that the main portion of the staff oi the United States Legation suddenly left Helsinki yesterday afternoon by airplane, bound for Stockholm. Rob- ert Mills McClintock, charge d af- fairs. remained in Helsinki, but the other officials and families left.
 American Minister Schoenfeld left for Washington last December and did not return.

In a letter written to Terrltorlal Commissioner of Labor Walter P. Sharpe, Senator William Langer of North Dakota expressed opinion that there is genuine interest Tn the United States Senate on the bill asking statehood for Alaska.
 Langer, member of the Senate Judiciary Committee which has the measure under consideration, said, T am really finding a genu- inc interest in the Senate on this bill and I hope that we will get some backing from the men up in Alaska"
 Yesterday, Alaska Delegate An thony J. Dimond reported that the sentiment of Congress con- corning statehood for Alaska is distinctly favorable" and there is more than a fair likelihood AL aska can be made a state just as soon after the present war as the people of the Territory want it."

One of Men Executed in Tokyo Raid Defied
 Cdptors

NEW YORK, April 24.--A New York News correspondent, in a story sent from Washington, D. o., quotes an American pilot captured after the Tokyo raid and later executed, as hurling defiance at the Nipponese court which sealed his doom, saying:
 Sure we bombed your damned town and we'll bomb 1t again. we'll bomb it twice and three times a day and I'll bomb it myself so often as God will let mel
 The story was written by Powell Limpus and appeared in Saturday editions of the newspaper. Wrote Limpus: Those were the gallant words which one of the three Doo- little aviators who were executed sealed his doom as he hurled de- fiance at the Nipponese, according to well authenticated reports which seeped out of the island kingdom.
 "The Japs killed him for 1t, but this hero is martyr-so far name less-and like Captain Nathan Hale of the Continental Army, has passed on to his countrymen slogan to spur them in the coming strife we'll bomb it again.
 Limpus said the trial took place last September.

START WORK
 ON CLEANUP
 ON WEEKEND

Whether you have to handle the rake with raincoat on, or whether you can scrape up the trash in your bathing suit, this weekend is the time to get into the spirit of Juneau's Clean-Up Week, according to Mayor Harry l. Lucas.
 His men, piloting City trucks, will be out on the rounds starting next Monday, rain or shine, to pick up the junk you place on the curbs or in the alleys, and according to Foreman Bert Lybeck, if his men are willing to work in any kind of weather, Ju au residents shouldn't mind.
 Lybeck asks all who will have trash ready for the pickup service next week to call the City Hall at 88 and tell them about it. It will make the work of finding the trash easier and assure speedy ser vice.
 All districts of the City will be covered thoroughly Monday through Friday, with the town divided into three districts and truck as signed to do the work in each. Remember, if you don't get it done this weekend, next weekend may be too late.
