(AP)-The army's disclosure that it had more money than was needed, touched off a series of developments and comment which gave an entirely new com plexion to the nations war pro- duction effort to date, and what as needed in the future
 Out of the announcement by the War Department turning back thirteen billion to the Bud get Bureau, came these things l. Army pictured considering the might of production effort at its expansion peak, and some drastic cut-backs have been made, notably in the small arms ammunition, either because enough material was on hand or that battle experience dictated the changes.
 2. The Army's manpower needs have been revised downwards by more than 5OO,000 men, so op- ponents of the fathers draft bill in congress, promptly seized upon this as another point in their favor.
 3. It was disclosed that pre- liminary steps are already under consideration by the government and industry, to work out a ten tative plan to reconvert war fac tories to peace-time production.

A "C-EYE VIEW
 OF NOME
By CPL. w. D. STARNES

Just about the time everything starts running serenely things are bound to happen. This time it was the"Needle Brigade" and believe you me this small com posite group of "shot expediters" under the capable direction of Staff Sergeant Dale Rupert and Sergeant Gernon Erickson can do more visible emotional dam age within a fifteen minute span than an Alaskan soldier topping off his fifteen days in the States. Viewing a 'shot" lineup is quite amusing =. as d matter of fact it is the exact opposite of the 'choW line" Instead of mov- ing toward the front of the line the trend of movement is defi- nitely to the rear until each in dividual hears the sound of his name this means, Brother you're nextw But then it happens quite quickly and it isn't nearly as bad as all of those thoughts and vivid imaginations that have been running willy through the mind. Who knows, |. Maybe that was the one that will save your life in the future. So with this in mind you don the shirt once more and struggle back to work. What a relief
 The men at the Base Service Club had quite an evening of it last week when the club was given it's christening. The place was jam-packed full by the time the Special Service movie hit the screen but there always seemed to be room for one more partici- pant. ''Handlebar Hank arriv- ed wee bit late for the film fare but did manage to lend his eff forts to a bit of the manual labor that always lies in the wake ot these affairs. A lot of First Ser geant Edward Anthony's boys were on hand and one might say they had the situation well in hand", especially Staff Ser geant John Edwards, Corporal Clements Lean and Nanny Thune, Privates, First Class Paul Finltlestein, Bernardo Sceri, Francis McCann and Pri- yates Bob Vonderleith, Tom Thompson and Chester Hendrick- son.

TWO DEAD IN CRASH
AN EDITORIAL

Nome isn't the prettest city in the world It isn't exactly the ugiest, the most boring has it the most savage weather in the world
 When "G-T folk who are stationed here at the present time first heard of their proposed destination where they would be destined to become the defend CTS of northern Alaska there is little doubt their ticpation was keen and their adventurous desires whetted on learning they were to be stationed in the Norths last frontier town To say the least, our opin ion is, they eagerly awaited the departure day.
 The long voyage to this distant land, from the Out side was interesting to great degree, doubt Thoughts which have habit of centering in ones mind when new trek has been started, imagine ranged to quite extent.
 Recalling our first visit to Nome anticipated viewing frontier town wholly unlike that which we landed in town ShOrn of all the modern facilities of life whose every advertisement rip-roarng' and in which few whites resided, lnterpre
 ation of the visit We expected high adventure and we were totally disappointed
 When the "G-I' folk arrived here that personnel found just exactly what we found arrival Of certainty the spread-out features of the city do ap pear on the surface frontier layout The wooden sidewalks and few other features indicated that the
 town still had carried some of the frontier aspects But the days the weeks and the months which have followed their arrival here venture to say proved
 the town far from frontier town and more along the lines of an up-to-date, progressive city.
 "G-T' folk didn't exactly find Nome "headache'.
 "G-P folk found in Nome the kind of city any other city proves to be.
 They found the city in the respect that other cities carry on with. On the same plane with cities much larger than Nome the GT' boys found efficient Chamber of Commerce in operation, whose chief aim to make of the city which eventually would prove to be the pride of the North.
 The military personnel found many things of interest because of the workings of this Chamber of Com merce. Summer and winter sports of divers kind, were in abundance and the "G-I" folk enjoyed taking part in these recreations.
 Of certainty, there many of the popular d- versions lacking in Nome. There no bowling a- leys, pool halls any of the visiting places of
 the cities other than the saloons gracng the streets of the town But since there has been originated, on their own military area, service clubs theaters and other places, for the recreation of the boys. Only lately there has been opened in the of the finest appointed clubs in the Territory.
 "G-I" boys found in Nome hummng behive of ac- ltivity upon their arrival The vast amount of con- struction work underway at that time has since en- hanced their positions and has added to their recrea
 ton to no mean degree In later days, after their ar rival these boys have played important part (Continued on Page 6)

DETROIT. Aug 26 - (41 -
The Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION continued today to eX-
plore every possible avenue of
information concerning the ac-
Invites of an alleged Nazi spy
ring that sought information
concerning war activities in De-
troit and other industrial areas.
Meanwhile six persons re-

facing possible death sentences
under the war time espionage
act, have been unable to provide
$50, 900 bond each. Two others
are detained as enemy aliens
and at the most face internment
for the duration Of the war and
ultimate deportation.
Held on espionage charges are
Grace Buchanan Dineen, "a;
Mrs. Theresa Behrens, "A; Fred
William Thomas, A, and Ber-
trand Stuart Hoffman, 81. Two
other women, one described as
the wife Of German language
teacher, and the other as the
mother-i law of a high member
of the German Nazi party, are
detained as enemy aliens. The
FBI has not yet made public
their names.
John S. BugaS, head OF the
Detroit office of the FBI, re-
fused today to speculate upon the
possibility Of further arrests on
espionage charges. He said
merely that the Investigations
have not been concluded"
The possibility of further ar
rests apparently hinged definite

obtain from a small green and
black notebook taken from Miss
Buchanan-D ineer. The FBI said
it was given TO the aristocratic
