A&VOOh AS Hello Al:
 I suppose I should have written to you a lot sooner, but have been pretty busy since came back from my furlough. I also brought my wife with me again.
 The weather has been beautiful here and we will wear our sum- mer uniforms beginning this Sat- urday. We had a forest fire here that lasted a whole week; 1t was directly across from the hospital and we had to go out and help fight 1t nearly every night, but it rained last night-first rainstorm since I came back. It put the fire completely out.
 We received quite a few more boys from overseas and last Fri day we had a review for a bunch of officers and they gave out quite few medals to the boys who were wounded. The Order of the Purple Heart is quite a ceremony The work at the hospital is piling up day by day.
 It is 9 a. m., and I got into town a while ago and do not have to re- port for duty until p. m. tonight and then have duty for A hours straight. It really is grind, but such is life. I am waiting for my wife at the present time so we can on and have hrQakfaSf
 On my return to camp was promoted to corporal technician. It means $120O a month more and quite a few more privileges since I am now considered non-com- missioned officer. I can do what ever please when I am not re- quired for duty, so I come to town. I haven't slept in camp since April IT, nearly a month. But 1t also means more work and more re- sponsibility.
 We are receiving overseas equip ment so won't be surprised if we shove off in a little. while. We have a new commanding officer now as our former one had a heart attack and will be laid up quite while, and as we might be called soon we have a new one in charge of our outfit. He has been in the army 26 years. How would you like to be in that long. He is Lieutenant Colonel. I haven't met him as yet, but the boys claim he is O. K:
 How are things progressing at the Boat Company? Any more of the subs received the Gold Crosses? Any more of the fel- lows from the shop left for the ser- vice? see that the E. B. Is going to have baseball team this year and will play their first game against service club from Mitchell Field in Long Island.
 We'll, I guess will have to close once again, but hope to hear from you and all the boys soon, so until then I remain,
 A friend,

Dawn 10 Dawn Attack 1000.
Made on Berlin; Tighi
bIatkoufs Are Ordered

MOON, March 2 - British
bombers continued terrifying dawn
to dawn air attacks against the
Axis, raiding Berlin and starting
fires there.
The Berlin radio broadcast picked
up here, said much damage was
done during the raid.
Radio broadoGsting stations at
Paris and Danish Kalanborg, and
later the Berlin station, went of
the air for an hour last night af-
ter warning their hearers that
tight blackouts were demanded.
Not only Berlin but other targets
in western Germany were bombed
last night in the gigantic raid.
In announcing the attack on Ber-
lin, the British Ministry described
it as heavy concentrated assault
carried out in clear weather and
the results were excellent.
The attack was the heaviest SO
far and the weight of bombs hitting
Berlin was probably about 900 tons
or twice the top load dropped on
London on any one night by the
German Air Force.
The British statement said the
biggest bombers, Lancasters, Hall
faxes and Strings took part in the
raid
The first wave of raiders started
fires and the latest arrivals could
see for 20 minutes the fires in Ber-
lin, from Bremen and Hanover

sion of the joint legislative COM
mittee investigating charges against
the Territorial Department of La
Dor under former Commissioner
Michael j Haas, and also charges
against Senator A. p Walker. for

Listeners sat up and took notice
when Commissioner Of Labor Wal

charges introduced as evidence
through Attorney General Henry
Roden a copy Of a letter which
Sharpe said was mimeographed on
Department of Labor stationery,
urging members Of the Moose Lodge
to support their fellow Moose, .
Haas, Walker and John l.. Covich
in last years election.
One Of the charges was that
Haas and Walker had used the
office for political purposes.
Voting Lists
Prefacing this introduction of
evidence, Sharpe said. upon ques-
tioning. that he had found two
voting lists for the First Division in
the office, and also that he had
found records showing Haas had
purchased 28,500 sheets of miineo-
graph paper with Territorial
money, only 5000 sheets of which
were found in the office.
Several other letters were also
introduced by Sharpe, but these

R0GGE BILL
WOULD GUST
PRIMARY LAW
Says Territory Would Save
$4,000 by Repeal
ing Act

An economy bill to save the Ter
ritory 5000 by abolishing the pri-
mary election was introduced in
the House this morning by Rep.
Leo Rogge, Chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee. The
bill would provide for the nomina-
ton of candidates at the general
election for which the Federal gov
eminent pays the bill.
Royce said that he believed the
primary law should be repealed be-
cause it is not satisfactory in its
present form. 'Only a fraction OF
the voters use it, he said, be
cause they do not wish to an
nounce their Party affiliations and
feel it violates the theory of the
secret ballot"
Rogge stated further that he be-
lieved it unfair to candidates to
have to make two campaigns, es-
pecially III Alaska where the popu-
lation is widely scattered. He
added that for the duration of the
war it will be more diffict''t -
cause of the limited transportation
and increased costs to make cam
paign trips.
Rogge pointed out that a change
to the general election will result
in saving of $4,000 to the Ter
ritory since the expenses OF the
general election are met by the
Federal government
! Rogge's bill would not charge a
fee for the filing of declaration
of candidacy. He said that the
theory of charging fee arose from
desire to offset the cost to the
Territory of the expense of the
primary.

clared that this was not just a
case of playing politics. but.
worse, interference with the war
effort.
Teamwork between the thre e
branches of government-executive
judicial and legislative = was far
more necessary now than in peace
time, he said, yet some members
of the Senate and House seem
bent on stirring up feud with
the Executive.
The President added that he did
not intend to accept the challenge.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Secre-
tary of Navy Frank Knox promised
Senators today that I'VE will utter

fore this war is over"
When the fleet is annihilated.
Secretary Knox added. I'VE will

such an extent that she will never

hibited that she is not qualified

The Navy Secretary made the
statement in urging the Senate

Knox said the responsibility of
policing the Pacific and seeing no
aggressive power raising it's head
there rests largely upon the Unit

that end this country must pro-
vide itself with adequate bases that
will leave no doubt that the least
