MINERS GET RAISE, NEW
 AGREEMENT
Coal Strike Ends as Work CTS Wages Upped S1.5O
 Day = Lunch Hour Cut
(By Associated Press)

The United Mine Workers and Secretary of Interior and Fuel Ad- ministrator Harold L. Ickes have agreed on a wage contract, ending the nationwide coal strike. by pro- viding $l.50 day increase in the earnings of the soft coal miners.
 The $50 figure was the amount asked by the union in the Illinois agreement and disallowed by the War Labor Board, now brought und- CT the WLB's formula of allowable increases by cutting in half the 30- minute lunch period.
 The agreement was announced first by the United Mine Workers Policy Committee and was made public in telegram instructing the striking miners to resume production of coal "at the earliest possible moment Let every member recog- nize the nations imperative need for coal, which requires prompt action in restoring the mines to full production"
 The telegram said the agreement was subject to the War Labor Board review.

BIG SECRET
 U. }. ARMY
 I5N0W OUT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 The Army's worst kept secret, the new Boeing Bl29 heavy bomber, emerged today from under the wraps and it is now alright to say there's BPS.
 Gen. H. H. Arnold let the cat out of the bag in a speech last Decem- Der 13, and two weeks later a group of reporters got a complete descrip- tion of the new super bomber during visit at the Wright Field. They weren't permitted to write anything about it, however.
 Now Arnold, in a formal state ment, said that we now have a super bomber, it is the B-29, which has been envolved in secrecy during the past several years. This battle ship of the air is armored heavily with multiple gun and power-driven turrets and it can fly at very high attitudes"

WAR FUND
 DRIVE IS
 NEAR END
Sum of S12,OOO Must Be Raised by End of
 Present Week

Juneau is going to raise the quota of $l2,000 for the National War Fund if the apathy now apparent is dispelled. Seventeen different or ganizations get share of the large fund being raised throughout the United States and every organization designated needs it's allotment right now, whether it is to aid the Stary- ing, aid those in need of medicine or scores of other urgent necessities.
 The campaign ends next Saturday night and there is still time for 1 everyone to contribute, no matter how small the amount.
 Anyone not contacted by those making house to house, store to store or office to office canvass, may simply make out check to the Juneau Committee, National War Fund, and send it to Mayor Harry I. Lucas or if the contribution is in cash, drop into the City Clerks of- 1. flee in the City Hall Building and i leave it there and receive your tag
 One woman from out the highway made two trips to Juneau before finding a place to make her dona- tion of $5 so this announcement is to be for all who are waiting to make contribution take it to Mayor Lucas office as he is local chairman of the campaign.
 The schools are taking a great interest in the drive and the Juneau Public School students and pupils have already turned in $243, not bad, is it?
 w. D. Gross has come through with $500 of which $500 goes on the Juneau list and $100 to the Douglas committee. The Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, through w. s. Pullen, has contributed $500, the Lodge of Elks S250, Charles Goldstein $50, Juneau Chamber of Commerce $100 and Juneau Wom- ans Club $50. Of course these are not the only contributions made, but they show the wide range and should be an incentive for others to act.
 Frank Marshall will give radio talk at 6:30 o'clock this evening and at $10 o'clock quiz relative to the cause for the National War Fund will take place over KINY.

MARCH ON TO TOKYO
 IN MAKING

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC. Nov. 4 Admiral William F. Halsey, whose Navy ground and air forces are engaged in driving the Japanese from the last of the Solomons group, hinted that far and bigger blows are in the making which may fall over a wide sector and he observed that the sooner the Japanese choose to bring it's navy out of hiding the sooner we will march through to Tokyo"
 Further, the Admiral said: This is a flexing springboard and longer jumps are ahead Our invasion of Bougainville is just one jump on the Japs. All nearby enemy air bases have been put out of action by the Navy's ground and air forces. Greater jumps are ahead. I am confident of success. This isn't boastful confidence but have as- surance. born of faith, that our ability is to hit harder, faster. and more often in more places than our enemy Our cause is just. our arm is strong, and cannot fail"

At least two tuberculosis hospl- tals in Alaska for treatment of both white and native patients, will soon become fact, when tentative plans being formulated in Washington, D. C., are executed, according to an announcement made today by Dr. George Hays, Executive Officer Of the Territorial Department of Health.
 The sanitariums, each to be equipped with at least 200 beds and totalling in cost between $4,- 900 1000 and $5,O00,0OO, and one will be located in Juneau and the other at either Nome or Fairbanks. The latter hospital will be primarily for Eskimos.
 The Division of Territories and Islands of the Department of In terior has agreed to sponsor the project, but operation of the hospi-. tals will be a Federal agency all ready experienced in such work.
 The application will be presented through General A. O. Flemming, administrator of the Federal Works Agency, and appropriations would be available under the Lanham Act, passed to provide vicinities with hospitals, health centers, water supplies sewers in areas where the need is great and no other method of paying for. such services is avail- able
 In addition to the hospitals prom ised, those interested hope that others will be secured through ap- pication to the Federal Board of Hospitalization This would make available one or more military hos pitals for use as tuberculosis hos pitals when the military authori- ties are through with them. Credit for the plan goes largely | to executives of federal agencies who have visited Alaska this year and were shocked at the 2,000 or 2, 800 cases of tuberculosis yearly in ithe Territory and the fact that there is at present less than 100 beds available for treatment of both whites and natives.
 Plans for the hospitals grew out of conferences between Dr. George Hays, Executive Officer of the Ter ritorial Department of Health, re- presenting Dr. w. W. Council, com missioner of Health for the Ter ritory; Anthony J. Dimond, Alaska s delegate to Congress; E. w. Thoron, Director of the Division of Terri tories and Island possessions of the Department of Interior; John Evans coordinator of certain affairs fof the Department of Interior: Jo- seph Mountin, assistant surgeon Senior Surgeon Herman Hillboe

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN ALGIERS, Nov. Alt. Gen. Mark Clark's Fifth Army has dashed for ward on a 40-mile front for gains of five to eight miles in the western Italian sector and advancing within 85 miles of Rome, throwing the en- cmy back in steady retreat across the broad Garigliano River valley.
 Montgomery's Eighth Army has also advanced in nearly all sectors, marching up on the Bostano-Isernia road and battering it's way into Cas- telpetroso, less than seven miles southeast of Isernia, and mounting the highway in the center of Rom mel's present defense line.
 Clark's British and American troops swept the Germans from their last stronghold around the Massico Ridge, the massive anchor in the strongly fortified mountain. The Germans apparently hoped to hold this position until winter but they nave been brushed out from the last footholds on the lofty San- croce Mountain to the northeast.
 By steadily roofing out of nests of resistance, Clark's warriors are astride the main coastal. road to Rome at a point beyond Sessa Aurunca and between the two noun tainS.

 Raiders by Day

LONDON, Nov A great fleet of Royal Air Force heavy bombers hammered the German industrial cities of Dusseldorf and Cologne last night in a swift sequel to the smashing daylight attack on Will helmshaven by the largest force of American aircraft ever thrown against the Reich.
 The main blow was concentrated on Dusseldorf, making the big Ruhr armament center probably the worlds most heavily bombed city next to Hamburg.
 While a diversionary assault by a smaller force was made on Cologne on the Rhine, Mosquitoes also bomb- ed objectives in the Ruhr and Rhine land
 Operations last night also included mine laying in German waters and intruder patrols over targets in France and the low countries.
 Dispatch from Stockholm quoted the Social Demokraten as saying more than 1000 were killed in Tues days attack by United States heavy bombers, based in the Mediterran- can theatre, on Weiner Neustadt in Austria.
 Yesterday, great armadas of Am erican planes, estimated unofficially at more than 1000, including fight CTS, took advantage of the break in the weather, and resumed the of fensive against Wilhelshafen. It was the seventh attack on this naval base. The announcement said the load of bombs dropped was greater than on all previous raids.
 Five heavy bombers and two fighters were lost in the raid.

COAL PRICE UP

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. The agreement reached between the Government and the United Mine Workers for increased pay in the nations coal mines, designed to end almost total work stoppage, neces- sarily will mean an increase in the consumer price for coal, Ickes said.
 Ickes further said he will very likely ask the office of Price Ad- ministration to raise the price limit to meet the increase granted the workers but he did not say how much. Estimates from other sources ranged from IS to 45 cents per ton.
 There is only trickle of an im- mediate response by miners to go back to the various coal fields as the result of the tentative agree ment but most workers are expected to get back to regular schedule of production by next Monday.

 For the first time since l94O, the index charts show that the cost of food started downward during the months of August and September.
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics prepared an interesting study for the White House which gives some revealing facts regarding the cost of living versus farm and labor in- come.
 It shows that in June, 1943, the average weekly earnings for U. S labor tipped the indexes at 163 IT contrast, the cost of living index was only 124. In other words whereas the cost of living index had risen only "A points since January 194l, wages to the working man had gone up by 63.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Nov. l. Gen. Douglas MacArthur's air arm inflicted the worst defeat yet on Japans seaborne power at the New Britain stronghold of Rabaul on Tuesday, sending three enemy destroyers and eight large merchant vessels to the bottom in Simpson Harbor .a
 The devastating attack accounted for 94,000 tons of enemy shipping. Fifty thousand tons of shipping was sunk outright and 44000 tons sev- srely damaged.
 Brushing off frantic enemy inter- ference, Allied bombers shot down 67 Japanese planes. Nineteen raid- ers are reported lost.
 The raid on Rabaul nipped the Japanese counter attack which was prepared to contest the Bougainville invasion. Gen. Macarthur said.
 In the raid on Rabaul, probably l50 planes struck with l,000-pound bombs at mast head height. The Japanese sent approximately an equal number of interceptors .aloft and the sky was filled with ack ack.
 In addition to the craft sunk, di- rect hits were scored on two heavy cruisers, one of which was left list ing with a large hole in the hull.
 The entire shipping sea is scene of utter destruction.
 The aerial contest was the fiercest fought so far in the Solomons.
 Meanwhile. 260 miles southeast of Rabaul, United States Marines as- sault forces expanded their beach, head on the west central shore of Bougainville where landings were made at dawn last Monday.
