GOEBBELS SLIGHTLY OFF

Although it is fairly certain that before the war,
Nazi agents were travelling through Alaska gathering
information for the conflict to come, it seems fairly
certain after recent episode in the Nazi propa-
ganda theater of that the Axis agents now in
Alaska If any, are pretty poor stuff
Y Brig Gen James A. O'Connor, energetic chief
of the boys that built the Alaska Highway, received

The article then goes on to ridicule any posi-
bility of successful land route from the United
States to Alaska who could build such road -
the German magazine asks. Who could take care
of it? And who could keep it open for traffic? In
all Alaska you would not find enough Indians and
EskinioS to clear the road from every morning .
The answer, of course, to all of these questions
is the Northwest Service Command. And the traf-

The scene is the north grounds
Of the White House on a spring
Afternoon. The big circular tulip
bed is just bursting into bloom, and
little girl on bicycle is riding
or ,.c great c;n we'd driveway.
She comes to the stone gates on
pefnsyly ania Avenue, where the
guards are Has my mother como
home yet?" she asks. The guards
shake their heads.
She disappears, riding to another
tart Of the grounds. Presently she
comes back HAS my mother come
homer Still the answer is, NO"
But the third time she is not
disappointed. Hey mother has come
home.
The little girl is Diana Hopkins
daughter of Harry, and the lady is
not her mother, but the former
Mrs. Louise Macy, now Mrs. Hop
kins, and the step-mother of Di-
ana.
But members of the White House
staff are impressed with the fact
that Mrs. Hopkins is in truth a
real mother to Diana. The little
girl could hardly love her owl
mother more.
Note: Mrs. Hopkins leaves t h c
White House between 8 AMI 3:ls
o'clock every morning, returning
after pm. She spends the entire
day, every day, at Columbia Hos
pital, serving as a nurses aide.

HOROSCOPE
1.-THE stars incline
but do not compel"
SUNDAY, MAY 9

Benefic aspects rule today which
should bring solace to many house,
holds. Deep religious consciousness
should be prevalent under this con-
figuration.
HEART AND HOME: This is a
favorable day for the heads OF
families. Fathers will contribute
much to the courage and conf
dence of the mothers and daugh-
tiers of households. There Is a rule
of the stars indicating keener anxi-
ETY. regarding American boys in the
armed forces. Churches and clergy
will benefit now when many care
less persons turn to religion. De-
nominational lines will vanish and
chaplains in all parts of the world
will serve with inspiring heroism.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS s.: Many
food problems will be solved as
certain severe ration rules are am
ended. Victory gardens will be
promising at this time and most sue
cessful later, according to the stars.
Prosperity, which is balm to mil
| lions of workers, will continue. La
Dor comes under CONFEDERATION
which seems to preSage drastic Gov
eminent dictation or Control. IN
ion leaders are to prove their pa
| triotism. War industries will con-
tinue to turn out record-breaKing
numbers of ships and airplanes.
NATIONAL ISSUES Politics will
distract attention from war inter-
ests in Washington as the national
campaign presents conundrumsf to
the legislators. Some time ago aas-
trologers who predicted that 'the
world war would last through 1914
and 1945 prophesied a fourth term
for, President Roosevelt. The stars
seem to warn that grave danger
would attend a change in the office
of Chief Executive at a time OF
supreme national crisis. It is fore
cast that the national campaign
will be bitter and sensational.

Women to Aid in Cleaning and Repairing
Of Engines in Union Station Roundhouse
Locker Facilities
For so Workers
Near Completion
BY LISBETH SOLLING.

| OTle mOnLn nence trle nrSt women
| of this war will walk into Union
| Stations two big roundhouses to
| help clean and repair the huge A.
| 000-horsepower locomotives which
ceaselessly roll in and out Of the
sheds.
The invasion is merely awaiting
completion of a concrete building to
house locker space and the neces-
sary washroom facilities for so
women. The structure was nearly
finished yesterday, but all the in
teroir work remains to be done.
Employment of women in the
roundhouse will help the Washing
ton Terminal Co.'S personnel situa-
ton. which is becoming more acute
day by day. 1t is hard not only to
obtain skilled labor, but also un-
skilled labor.
May Run Cranes.
The day may come when woman
will sit in the switchhouse and push
the buttons which spin locomotives
on a turntable before they roll into
empty stalls. They probably will
also clean engines.
AS an official walked through the
repair shop yesterday, he waved
airily toward far corner. "A woman
could easily operate that little port
able crane" he said. In the dark
ness was huge crane on a track.
I'VE use that crane for picking
up small odds and ends and moving
them from one place to another"
he said.
There is something awesome about
a roundhouse. The ceiling is nearly
invisible in the darkness. When the
ordinary citizen meets huge loco
motive face to face in the dark he
gets an impression of fearsome
strength. Even in stalls locomotives
hiss, rumble and fume. Live steam
pours out everywhere. A mere woman
expects the whole thing to explode
any moment.
THE locomotive repair depart
ment is busy. Last year they re-
paired 69235 locomotives. Ap-
proximately 80 per cent of all To-
comotives sent onto the inspection
pit are shuttled into the round
house for maintenance work. There
are some $50 employees in that de-
partment alone.
The terminal company had few
women engine cleaners during the
last war. 1t was not nearly as diff
ficult to hire help then as now.
$50 Clean Cars.
In the car department the num-
ber of women employed has jumped
from II last October to IS at the
end of the year and $50 today. The
women clean cars inside and out.
There are IS railroad tracks in the
wide coach yard which sprawls out
north of Union Station. and from
10000 to $4,000 cars are cleaned
there monthly. About 1000 cars
are repaired monthly in the re-
pair shop.
Women employees are asked to
wear slacks. low-heeled shoes and
free-and-easy' clothing. They are
taught two basic safety rules: Don't
step on rail and don't stand in
the middle of track.
Union Station also employs women
in the transportation, ticket, bag
gage, accounting and maintenance
Of way departments. Five thousand
workers are required to operate the
terminal.
The traffic is tremendous. Recent
statistics show that 10000 passen-
gers leave or arrive daily. The figure
rises to 100000 over week ends. The
public buys more than $4,000 tickets
month at the IS ticket windows.
Some 1,400 taxicabs roll in and out
at the loading platform every hour
at peak periods.

MUBO GARRISON
 HEAVILY BOMBED

Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters, Australia, March 25-(UP)-Allied aircraft are maintaining strong pressure to soften up Japanese po- sitionS on the northeast New Guinea coast in the important Sa- lamaua area, 8 communique indi- cated today in reporting a second strong attack on the enemy outpost at Mubo.
 The communique said that beau- fighters yesterday poured S0,OO0 rounds of machine gun bullets and plastered bombs on the Mubo gar- rison 12 miles southeast of Sala- maua, destroying tenth of the buildings in the area and leaving 1t enveloped in smoke.
 The Salamaua -Mubo area is 90 to 100 miles up the coast from the recently-captured Mambare district.

MISSING PISTOL
 IMPORTANT CLUE

Swampscott, Mass, March B. (UP)-A missing .3S caliber revolver today was believed to hold the clue as to whether 53-year-old Mrs. Louise Dave committed suicide or was murdered.
 The victim, who died late Tues- day of Q bullet wound after being hospitalized ostensibly for a cere- bral hemorrhage, could have taken her own life'in the opinion of med- ical-examiner Nathaniel P. Breed.
 There were powder marks on her clothing and a wound in her breast beneath the heart. But he declined to make definite finding until the weapon was found.
 Absence of the pistol puzzled po- lice. Mrs. Dawes husband Frederick said he returned home from work at war plant to find his wife un- conscius on a kitchen cot. He noticed no wound and 1t was not until she reached a hospital that the cause of her death was dis covered.
 He did, however, find two notes- one illegible, the other addressed to Dear Hubs" which said she was sorry and goodbye.
 Search of the house, the chimney flue and a nearby field failed to yield the weapon.
