make this the last war for this

But winning this war will not

That is where we failed before.
We considered that the hest way
to avoid another war was not to

Western Hemisphere. Japan W s

she prepared for Pearl Harbor.

QUEEN OF
THE DOLLS
BY ADELAIDE KERR
AP Feature Writer

When Beatrice Alexander was a
little girl she never owned doll.
Since then she has owned mil
lion.
Now, as one of the countrys
leading doll manufacturers, Nine.
Alexander is one of Santa Claus
first assistants. And this year she
is working overtime to fulfill her
contracts for the dolls which Santa
needs for Christmas stockings and
trees. For now she must work
under wartime restrictions.
"You should have seen us look
ing for a substitute for rubber
bands" she said with a reminiscent
chuckle as she checked through a
pile of blonde beauties in her New
York studio. I'VE have to have
rubber bands to give stretch to the
arm and leg mechanisms. So We
cut up the hollow arms and legs
of some of our rubber dolls to get
them. Instead of a metal weight
to move the eyes, we now use plas-
tic. And the chemists had to find
substitutes for critical chemicals in
enamels."
But war restrictions or no, Ma
dame Alexander's dolls still have
the qualities that have made them
famous-characte and g m or.
Her most famous have been the
Dionne Quintuplets, Sonia Henie,
Scarlet O'Hara and the Alice in
Wonderland dolls all dressed to

represent the characters for which
they arc named. This year her
Christmas favorites are the bride
doll, the United Nations dolls and
"The Little Shaver" a wartime
doll made entirely Of fabric from
head to heels.
When Mime. Alexander walks into
room, she is sight to make any
body sit up. Her dark eyes dance.
Her face, which makes no preten-
sion of being wholly unlined lights
with radiant smile. She has
beautiful feet and ankles, likes
frivolous red shoes. Nine Alexan-
der says that she is grandmother
in her late forties. Would that
more grandmothers looked the
same!
Beatrice Alexander has lived with
dolls all her life. Her father, a
Russian, and her mother, an Aus
TRAN, met on the boat enroute to
America, were married in New
York and took small flat in Grand
Street. There her father, who had
worked with a doll repairman in
Germany, opened dolls hospital
and there-among doll heads, arms
and legs-Beatrice Alexander was
born. Eventually her father began
to sell dolls, which were then vir-
tually all imported from Europe.
There were dolls all over the place.
After her high school days she
married Philip Behrman She might
never have thought much of dolls
again, if World War 1 had not cut
off the imported supply of dolls to
America and thus cut off her par.
ents' livelihood. Something had. to
be done. So she got out her needle
and thread and made her first all
fabric dolls-a Red Cross nurse and
an infant. Her father put them
on sale and they sold SO fast that
their maker went into business for
herself Two years later her hus-
band joined her.

German Spy Aided Japs By Sending Movements
 Of Pearl Harbor Fleet

WASHINGTON, June 15. - The Office of War Information reports that German espionage agents helped the Japs prepare for the attack on Pearl Harbor. At least one of them was sentenced to death but the sentence later was com muted
 The OWI report said Bernard Julius Otto Kuehn, Nazi agent, was tried before a military commission at Honolulu on charges of betray- ing the United States fleet in Pearl Harbor five days before the De cember attack.
 He was convicted February 21 l942, and sentenced to be shot Oc- tober 26, 1942, but the sentence Was commuted to 50 years at hard la bor. The reason for committing the sentence was not given.
 The members of Kuehn's family are interned for the duration either in Hawaii or in this country, These include Mrs. Kuehn, son, Ebel : hard Martin Kuehn, and daugh- ter by a previous marriage, Susie Kate Ruth Kuehn.
 The OWI report is based on ln- formation from the FBI. It Saio Kuehn went to Honolulu in 1885 for the ostensible purpose of study ing the Japanese. In three years he banked more than $70,000.
 He was picked up December g and both Kuehn and his wife de- nied at first any negotiations with the Jap government, the OWI said adding, but increasing evidence by the FBI contradicted their as- +sertions."

Nan-Made Steel Isles May Make Sea Airways
 To England More Safe
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Sinee one of the major airl.nes applied for permission to establish a post war "seadrome" route from here to Great Britain, some people have asked if the "seadromes" are a military secret; if they aren't just another mechanical m agazi n c dream; whether establishment of them would mean that the United States intends to take over the At lantic as it's private flying field; and what benefit they would be in view of the fact that present trans atlantic hops of bombers and the clippers seem to be so successful.
 Pennsylvania Central Airlines has answered most of those questions and since they are making the ap- plication, they should know.
 Tn the first place, the sea dromes" are no military secret. The vast amount of steel which would be used in these floating islands" spaced at 800 mile inter- vals across the ocean, would not make them practicable for use in

RAF HITS ITALIAN
 SHIPPING
Messina Blasted : Italians Warn People of
 Invasion

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, June l5.-Wel- lington Warehouses of the RAF drilled east Sicilian shipping at the ferry terminal of Messina with two-ton block busters, and show cred incendiaries on the port Sun day night, Allied Headquarters re- ported today.
 Meanwhile, preliminary attacks continued on the larger islands guarding the Tyrrhenian Sea ap- breaches to Italy.
 For the second successive day, however, the Northwest African Air Force delayed an all-out as- sault.
 A communique said operations yesterday were confined to recon naissanee and patrolling.
 Meanwhile, the Rome radio told the Italians to stand by for an Allied invasion. and other Rome and Berlin breadcasts contrived to give a picture of intense air and sea activity in the invasion triangle between Malta, Bizerte and Sicily.
 It is not clear, however, whether the activities centered about the massing Allied invasion fleet fer rying Italian prisoners of war from Pantelleria, or Allied preparations to convert Pantelleria to an Allied naval base.
