Reds Nearing
 White Russia
By Associated Press

N-Novorossisk, Black Sea naval base in the German bridge head of the Caucasus, fell to the Russians yesterday after a five day battle between Soviet land, sea and air forces and more than four Ger man divisions.
 In the meantime, Red Army troops driving westward between Bryansk and Nezhln captured Nov gorod Seversky, so miles from the White Russian border Novgorod Se- veresky is about 95 miles southwest of Bryansk and about 90 miles northeast of Nezhin, which fell to the advancing Russians Wednesday.
 In capturing Novorossisk, the Russians pushed the Germans in- to a 40-mile wide neck of land north of that port on the Taman The capture of the two but widely separated points on the farflung Russian front was announced by Premier Joseph Stalin in separate Orders of the Day, broadcast by the Moscow radio and reported here by the Soy- jet monitor.

BALKANS PROMISE BIGGER AND BETTER HEADACHE
 TO HITLER IN FUTURE

LONDON-The Allied menace to the Germans Balkan front was slowly rising today behind the present fighting arena in Italy al though it was yet a distant men ace and was confined, for the time being, mainly to the progressive shipping off of Nazi communica- tions. The day brought word that Allied forces had thrust into the Aegean Sea to occupy three islands in a key lying off Turkey and Greece, Samos, Cos and Leros, at the same time that Yugoslav patri- ots were reported to have seized a. bout 25 miles of Adriatic coast line including the important port of Susak.
 Madrid dispatches said, concur rently, that Croat guerillas, under the command of Allied officers, had cut four principal German-held rail- ways running out from northern YugoslaVia to Hungary, Rumania and Italy.
 The whereaouts of tthe British Ninth Army, reported from neutral sources this week to have left its base in Syria, still was clothed in mystery.

AIR SUPPORT HEAVIEST IN SALERNO SECTOR

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North Africa Most lethal concentration of air power in the history of the Mediterranean conflict is blasting and tearing at the Germans in the Salerno area in support of the hard fighting American and B ri h ground forces. Far more than 2,000 sorties were flown over the critical battle field, both Wednesday and the previous day by this Allied ar mada and an official declared the tonnage of bombs rained on the Nazis was vastly greater" than that which brought about the capit- ulation of Pantelleria Island earlier in the summer. The record-break- ing array of bombers and fighters was spraying bombs and cannonfire with deadly precision on enemy supply dumps and communications and troops only a short distance be- hind the smoke and flame of the actual fighting front. The Germans, almost devoid of effective aerial support, were helpless to avoid the devastating attack from the skies.

Fishermen Ask Earlier Opening
 Of Fall Fishing

Bearing the signatures of 63 fishermen in this community, a petition was presented to the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service. Fisheries Division, early this week urging the bureau to set the fall fishing open ing date ahead to Sept 70, rather than opening it as planned Sept. T. The fishermen pointed out that early fall dogs taken now are in much better shape than they will be in the next couple of weeks.
 The petition read:
 We, the undersigned fishermen and residents of this community, respectfully petition the Fisheries Division of the U. S. Fish and Wild life Service to open the fall fishing season on September 20, 1943 one. week prior to the announced open ing date of September 27. All streams have had a large escape ment due to the heavy rainfall, in cluding the late run streams. Re- ports are that fish are still coming in good quantity and are of good quality. By opening earlier, the early fall dogs are still fat and in good shape, whereas two weeks or so later they will be in poor shape
 We also petition that something be done about Caulder Creek. It is that approximately 1OO,- 900 or more fish are laying in that bay, unable to go up stream be- cause of logging operations. Logs are being pulled down the creek bed, | stirring up mud and dirt, dragging all the gravel out thus preventing the fish from going to their spawn ing grounds If the logging opera ions are not changed so that the fish will go upstream, these fish would be of greater value canned. Otherwise they will be wasted
 We ask your prompt attention"

BROWNIE, NOW SERVING IN NORTH AFRICA, SELLS
 WRANGELL TO MATES

Remember J. R. Brown Brownie to most of us) who for II years was manager of the local Coliseum theater here? He's in North Africa after having left here shortly after Pearl Harbor to enter the service But here's the dope in detail as told in letter to Leo Mccormack of the Chamber of Commerce from Ed ward L. Bryant, Carpenters Mate 1st. Class, Navy, who has recently returned to the States after nine months overseas. Says Navy man Bryant:
 q was in Africa for nine months and while there met Brownie, the moving picture man from your town. He is a regular Chamber of Commerce for Alaska all by himself. He told me enough about Wrangell and vicinity to get me thoroughly aroused and I am thinking of moving there after the war.
 q am a native Californian and am now in the Seebees of the Navy. He told me to write you and you could probably give me information on Wrangell regarding climate business, homestead lands, etc In general, I would like to know all you can tell me about Wrangell and vicinity. If you would send me literature on these things. I'd be much obliged"
 Needless to say, Seebee Bryant will get his literature; Wrangell's warrior Brownie rousing welcome when he gets home for carrying WrangelPs message into darkest Africa while in the service of his country.

TO THE PEOPLE OF ALASKA

The heavy cruiser Alaska" has been launched and will be commits sioned in a. few months.
 This is the first American war { hip to be named Alaska" and the first to bear the name of any Nni- ted States territory.
 The USS Alaska" is also h e first of new type of super-cruiser. Military secrecy forbids going into detail, but it may be said that the USS Alaska" embodying all the new experience of a period of naval activity without parallel in our his tory, will combine size, speed and striking power to a higher degree than any previously built warship. Much may be expected of her. Alas ka has been greatly honored by the naming of this fine ship after our Territory and by having her the first of a new great class of our na- tion's seven-ocean Navy.
 As you know it has been custom ary for the people of a community after which a United States naval vessel is named to make a gift to that vessel. Many Alaskans have already inquired whether this prac- tice will not be followed here. know that Alaskans will be happy and eager to live up to that custom and to have our gift worthy of great and gallant ship and worthy of our own tradition and spirit. A pioneer ship is being named after a pioneer Territory.
 l am, therefore, asking all who desire, to send contributions. They need not, and should not, be large Many small contribution-the dimes and nickels of school children, for instance-would be preferable to a smaller number of substantial sub scriptions. If possible, I would like the names of all contributors to form roster which may be trans mitted at the time of the formal presentation of Alaska's gift to the USS Alaska"
 1 am asking a committee chair man in each community to receive contributions, or they may be sent directly to the Governors Office in Juneau, marked Cruiser Alaska Fund" Contributions should if pos sible be received in Juneau not later than December first.

Wrangell Mill Will Start Work
 Coming Week

Wrangell Lumber Mills is expect ed to resume operations this com ing week under the direction of H. NJ. Olsen, of the Ketchikan and Ju- neau Lumber mills. Mr Olsen has taken over the operation of the plant from Custard and Meadows, former operators, who are now con- fining their activities to logging.
 Mir. Olsen. who is interested in both the Juneau and Ketchikan sawmill operations and who has long been identified with lumber ing in Alaska, said today that work of fitting the plant for operation is now under way and that by next week it was hoped to start saving new equipment is en- route and will be installed as it ar rives. Head sawyer and other key men already have been engaged and MT. olsen expects to have a crew of about 25 men lined up by the time saving gets underway. Anticipated out at the present time will be a. bout 30 900 feet per day, Olsen said.
 Aside from some spruce going in- to airplane industry, the big bulk of the lumber milled at the local plant will go to fill government contracts with the Army. Demand at the present time is far greater than the supply.
 MT. Olsen will be in and out Of in connection with his various interests. He has his fam fly residence in Seattle and, in- cidentally, lives next door to Wran- gells Capt. Sid Harrington of the Transportation Go.

Allies Closing In At Lac
By Associated Press

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, IN Southwest Pacific American and Australian troops closing in on Lac from three sides are meeting the first aerial opposition since they started their attack on that north eastern New Guinea citadel nearly two weeks ago. Despite the Jap re- sistance, three Allied units continu- ed their steady advance upon the doomed airbase with the aid of heavy artillery fire and bombing and strafing by air forces.
 Australians, moving along on the coast east of Lac along Huon Gulf, were only two miles from the cen mainly Australians but including some United States paratroopers, was five miles, from the objective in the west after capturing three defended plantations, two of which were enclosed by barbed wire.
 In the south, combined force which captured Salamaua and it's airfield during the past week, had advanced more than half way a. long the 18-mile jungle trail separ- ating Salamaua and Lac. Much booty, including some heavy guns. many machine guns, rifles and ann munftion and clothing have been captured.

Bond Drive Still Short
 Apt $4OOO

At noon today Wrangell had still to back the attack in the amount of S3,891.25 to go over the top in the Third Victory Loan drive. Post of flee sales of Series E bonds in the drive totaled $11,1O8.75 at noon. The quota of Series E is $15,00O.
 Estimated income payments past week obviously curbed sales, but the great Allied victory at Salerno, coupled with the progress on other fronts, was expected to put the drive over in the next few days.
 Those boys at SaIerno made their beachhead," said Bond Chairman Van H. Fisk, |" we should be able to make ours on the home front"
