The lovely lila in the company of number
of faithful retaners, sought refuge and exile
in a village Of the savage Tahuamanu people
who lived on a river bearing their name
hundreds of miles from the empty throne of
martyred Atahuapa the last of the Incas.
There, because of her queenly ways her
proud beauty, breeding and knowledge, and
her skill in medicine, she was soon revered
as a goddess by the aborginals
1t was the oft-repeated and persistent
legend that Queen lila still rued-centures

Enrique Suarez, TO set out from lima few
weeks ago for the head village Of the Tahua-

destination. The other four were stricken
by tarbadillo fever on a tributary Of the
Rio Manu- and had to turn back.

that the Shangr-La stories were more than
exaggerated because all they found was a
typical Indian village, dirty and unsanitary
There was no sign of the emerald throne

The explorers stayed in the village four
days. On the evening before the dsap-
pointed adventures were to leave-with moth

jungle-they noticed an unusual air of ex-
element in the small settlement Many
natives were running around carrying torches
made of pine knots.
The girls, who ordinarily darted about
virtually naked, were adorned in sweeping
and brightly coored sashes and golden
breast plates such as The women Of the Incas

The three explorers, sensing they were on

with aacrity. Soon the torch light process

WORK STOPS IN B0EING
 WAGE FIGHT
Plant Employees Making Demand for Decision by
 War Labor Board

SEATTLE, Feb. 26 = Thousands of Boeing Aircraft workers, whose work stoppage for a mass meeting and parade late yesterday brought half shift shut down of the Fly ing Fortress plants, voted to hold an around the -clock meeting Mon- day unless the War Labor Board returns a favorable decision prompt ly of the long pending wage in- crease case. Their contract with the company expired last July and intermittent negotiations have been going on ever since.
 The workers expressed their in- tentions of also calling upon other AFL union airplane builders for similar action At the same time they asked that President Roose- velt's intervention be solicited.
 While thousands of workers were tying up city traffic, the aeronau- tical mechanics union was filing suit in Federal Court here against the Labor Board demanding that the Board be compelled to act or surrender jurisdiction and thus en- able the union to negotiate direct ly with the Boeing Company which has expressed itself in favor of a wage increase.
 A high west coast army officer branded the work stoppage as little less than reasonable"

 Northwest Germany

LONDON, Feb. 26-A strong force of American bombers attacked northwest Germany today, 1t was announced officially by the Air Ministry.
 Wave after wave of the four mo- tored bonbers roared over north west Germany where they could find large U-boat building and in- dustrial targets.

 The attacks came about "A hours after other American bombers in the Mediterranean area raided Naples at the southern end of the Axis.

WASHINGTON, Feb 26-Official- ly informed that Americas expand ing military power may soon force the lowering of the Services phy- Sical standards or the raising of the 38 year age limit, the Senate Investigating Committee summoned the nations manpower and agri- culture chiefs to explain how nec- essary food and equipment can be produced this year.
 While contending that much of the voluminous testimony. taken during a month of closed hearings is conflicting, some members of the Senate Appropriations Subcommit- tee inquiring into manpower prob lems protested that the planned growth of the armed forces will leave insufficient workers to turn out the supplies needed by military, civilians and lend-lease.
 An earlier witness made public the disclosure that the army con- templates an air force equal to the entire aerial strength of the Axis by the end of 1943, and total overseas force of 4,750,00 men is scheduled by the end of 1944. The source of single men not ir essential occupations or otherwise deferred may be exhausted by the end of this month. the committed heard.
 The Axis is likely to retain su- periority during the next year oi ground forces. despite the growth of American armed services, ac- cording to the report. The Axis, in- cluding Japan, are reported to have about 900 aircraft squadrons with about 25 fighting planes and eight bombers in a squadron.

Other Assaults Reported in So|omons in Navy
 Communique

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-Ameri- can aerial attacks on Jap positions in both the Solomons and Aleutians are reported in today's official com munique of the Navy.
 The communique says fires were started in one raid on the Solomons.
 "On February 23," the commun- ique says. "U s. bombers with fight CT escort, attacked Jap positions at Kiska, in the Aleutians, but clouds prevented observation of results. :"
 Yesterday, dive bombers attacked the Jap positions at Villa, Kolom- bangara Island, and also enemy po- sitions on Kahili and Faisi in the Shorthand Island area.
 Regarding the attack on Kiska, the Navy communique said the latest series of attacks on the Is- land and Jap positions in the North Pacific has been increasing in ire quency during recent weeks. Some authorities here considered it sig nificant no enemy resistance is re- ported on previous attacks. The Japs have occasionally put up strong opposition but the impress sion prevails in informed circles that the Kiska base is not sufficient ly powerful enough to offer con- sistently strong resistance and only spotty defense is to be expected there.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert & Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON.-Here is the in- side story of how the Secret Serv- ice performed one of it's most diff ficult assignments in history-pro- tecting the President on his trip among North African Arabs, West African natives, and through South America.
 To prepare for it, Michael F. Reilly, White House Secret Service agent, left Washington several days before the President, and travelled the exact route he was to follow. From Miami to Brazil to West Africa to North Africa, Reilly and a picked squad of men went over every step in advance. At Natal, Brazil, when Reilly walked out on the dock where the presidential clipper was to land, he suddenly turned and disappeared
 He had seen Walter Winchell, and he was afraid that ace re- porter would smell news in the wind. Winchell was on his way north, after an assignment at Rio, Reilly says he expects to kid Win chell some day about missing that bit of news. tEven if Winchell had got wind of the affair, of course he could have printed nothing about the movement of the Presi- dent). At Bathurst, West Africa the British almost interned the Secret Service squad for not hay ing yellow fever inoculations. They had feared illness from shots, and took a chance without them Actually one man was detained but he was the one assigned to remain there anyhow

Counter offensive Is Being Pushed by Americans
 and British

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Feb. 26-Allied troops, pushing counter-o offensive in central Tunisia, have recap tured Kasserine Pass in following up Rommel's withdrawal, and also have advanced 10 to Is miles in the Sbiba area to the northeast.
 An Allied communique said the Germans have been defeated in an offensive which carried them 66 miles from Faid Pass almost to the Algerian border and the enemy now appears to be falling back to- ward Gafsa.
 Gen. Alexander's Britons and Americans have seized the initia- tive now and are following the retreating Nazis up.
 Gafsa is located about IS miles southeast of the farthest point reached by Rommel's columns which surged to within three miles of Thala before being stopped
 Kasserine Pass was recaptured when American Doughboys and British Tommies drove up the moun- tains on each side of the pass yes- terday afternoon and pushed the Germans onto the flat plateau be- yond. American and British tanks then roared through the gap on the heels of the Axis troops.
 Meanwhile, British forces in the northeast bore down on the Axis flank from the Sbiba mountain area and advanced within nine miles of Sbeitla. Here. too. the Germans are in flight.
 Sbiba is 30 miles north Of SbeitR, one of the towns through which Rommel passed on his way to Faid Pass toward Kasserine.

0pA Forces Triangle Cleaners 10 Shut of
 Service 10 Civilians

Juneau's only exclusive dry-clean- ing establishment - the Triangle Cleaners-will close it's doors to civilian trade tonight, Rod Darnell, owner. announced this morning.
 Darnell said the closure has not been forced because the Triangle Cleaners can no longer handle the volume of business in Juneau, along with military business, but because of the Office of Price Administra- tion's refusal to allow an increase in prices to meet increased costs.
 Darnell has operated the clean ing business here for more than eight years. He said that when con- ditions reached a point which pro hibited us from continuing to op- crate at our old prices, we applied to the OPA for permission to ad- just rates to the level allowed such establishments in Ketchikan.
 This was refused"
 Went Ahead
 In order to continue in business at that time, last fall, the Triangle proceeded contrary to the OPA ruling in establishing rates. Since that time the Triangle has been q yiolator of the OPA regulations.
 Darnell said that it is impossible for him to continue to operate his business successfully and still obey the OPA orders. "The only alter native I have is to close the doors to civilian trade"
 He said that the OPA offered a compromise agreement but would give him no definite schedule. He said the agreement was offered providing he refund the difference customers have been paying in prices since last September. In ad- dition, the OPA told him that for all cases where the company was unable to get ill touch with a GUS toner to make the refund, the company should make out a check for that amount payable to the U. S. Treasury.
 Darnell said that he is willing to refund the difference in price to any customer requesting this. But he will discontinue civilian business after the doors close this evening.
 Should Be Same
 Darnell pointed out that al though the rates he requests are allowed in Ketchikan, Juneau is several hundred miles further north than, Ketchikan and living costs should be higher here than in the First City-at least not any lower.
 Darnell said that he did not be- lieve any further attempts to come to compromise with the OPA of- flee woHld be worth while He said that he was fed up with the OPA's under handed method of opera tion," most of all with the practice adopted by the Juneau OPA office

 Axis fighters were in the air but they didn't press an attack on the bombers, possibly because they have lost so many planes in previous clashes with Liberators.

Share inc Gar Drive
 Stalls in Washington;
 (ity|s Most UnfriendIy
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-Accord- ing to the District of Columbia div ision of the American Automobile Association, the national capitals share -the-car program has begged down.
 The AAA survey, conducted in both the District and suburbs, shows that cars arrive in shopping and government office areas with an average of approximately two persons per car, so slight an increase over the start of the share -your-car drive that it is hardly worth con- sidering.
 Not only that, says the AAA, but holders of B and c cards have a record only fractionally better than the limited A-card holders.
 There are only two conclusions to be drawn from this: CD The na- tional capitals car-owners are un- cooperative; (2) this is one of the country's most unfriendly towns.
 I don't know what the AAA con- clusions are. They wouldn't state them. But I think both of those deductions are partially true.
 Most of the capitals drivers to- day are government workers. Many are working to the limit of theil endurance and the rest think they are. Generally they feel, perhaps that they should not be asked tc take on the additional burden oi playing bus driver mornings ano evenings; nor should they risk tar diness or late arrivals home by par ticipating in a transportation round-robin.
 On the other hand, Washington texcept for it's taxi drivers) is nc longer friendly town If yor want proof, ask the personnel di- rectors who are conducting the so- called exit interviews" (quizzes oi persons who insist on leaving theil jobs) I have lived in, worked in or visited in many of the country's big cities, and of all those, only New York can tie wartime Wash. ington in it's reluctance to accep newcomers. And it's the newcomer here who are not driving cars ant who are looking for some sort O. share-the-cost, if not share-th transportation.
