District Captains Start So.
Iieiting-Cdmpdign Is
Extended 10 Nov. 3

Juneau's campaign to raise $4,000
for the National War Fund got off
to a good start today when district
captains and their assistants began
a canvass of homes and of the bust
ness district. Much interest is being
shown in the drive due to the fact
that the sums realized will go to
II different relief organizations
gathered under one head for greater
efficiency and economy.
In order that everyone will have
the opportunity to contribute to the
fund, the drive, instead of ending
Saturday, as was formerly planned,
will be extended until Wednesday,
November 3. The added time will
give the captains time to contact
everyone, and will contribute to the
success of the campaign.
Tonight, following the regular
meeting of the American Legion IL,
the Dugout, the film Last Will and
Testament OF Tom Smith, will be
shown at $50 O'Clock to Legion
naires and Auxiliary mmebers. The
picture is a moving account of the
final minutes of soldiers life in
Japanense prison before facing q.
firing squad, and is guaranteed to
infuse any one who sees it with a
desire to do everything to end the
war as quickly as possible and TO
alleviate as much as they can the
suffering of the unfortunates cap
tured by the enemy.

miles that resulted in the capture

The advance was witnessed by

placed the American and British
troops north of stoutly defended

One commentator said if the Ger

they are caught in a pocket"
The military commentator also
said the Germans have launched
counter-attack after counter attack
in an effort to relieve their position
but these were beaten off with
bloody noses.

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
(Nsjor Robert Q. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON - The diplomatic
grapevine reports that inter-Allied
relations with Russia are going
pretty we'll know This is certainly
true on the surface, and while some
irritations have occurred below the
surface, both sides have shown a
real tendency to try to get along.
Most serious sub-surface irrita-
ton was over the Mediterranean
Council, through which Russia, the
United States and Britain were to
confer regarding italy, North Africa
and the Balkans.
The Russians, Snubbed earlier in
the summer regarding preliminary
Italian armistice terms, took the
Mediterranean Council seriously and
appointed as their representative
Andrea Vishinski, the famous prose-
cutor in the Russian purge trials.
This was the equivalent of second
ing the most outstanding member
OF the U. S. Supreme Court or the
leading lawyer of England.
Vishinski is a man of national
stature, capable of making Mediter-
ranean decisions without consulting
Moscow. But to represent the
United States on the Mediterranean
Council, Secretary Hull sent Ed Will
son, U. s. Ambassador to Panama,
Wilson is thorough-going, COM
petent diplomat who can handle
any routine job and handle it we'll
But almost no one outside diplom-
acy or Panama has heard Of him.
He has no national stature and he
cannot act on his own.
Immediately it developed that
Wilson was to act as glorified
messenger and report everything
back to Washington. The British
representative was to do the same.
In other words, Churchill and
Roosevelt were to make the de-
cisions. and the much publicized
Mediterranean Council was to be a
mere reporting agency.
This Immediately reused Russian
wrath. They had welcomed the
Council, appointed a top man. So
for moment they considered with
drawing. However. for the sake of
Allied harmony, they stayed on and
are giving the Mediterranean Coun-
ell a trial.

Melitopol. Gateway to Crinea,
has been captured by the Russian
forces after nearly two weeks OF
some of the fiercest battles of the
Russian war, Stain announced last
Saturday night in special order

the Russians rolled on to within

ter at Krivoi Rog.
The only way out of the sack for
the Nazis is a 50-mile wide gap
from Krivoi Rog southeastward to
the Dnieper
AS the Soviet right flank pushed
down toward Krivoi Rog, and other
powerful groups moved through the
broken zaporoshe- Melitopol line
toward the Crimea, several highly
important cities are already defin-
itely outflanked and it appeared du-
bious that the Germans could hold
them much longer.
Many Cities Threatened
The cities thus threatened includ-
ed Dnepropetromsk, and nearby
Dnefrodzerhnish, one time centers
of Soviet electric power, and also
Nikopol where some of the finest
manganese ore deposits of the Sow
let Union are located.
There is only one way out of
Dnepropetroysk for the Germans
and that is down a single track
railway to Nikolaev through the
bottleneck at Kosionovo.
AT the Dnieper elbow a big Red
Army breakthrough at the zaporo-
zhe-Melitopol line brought another
threat to the almost encircled Ger
mans there. and if the Russians
push on through the Askaniya
steppe. the exit from the bend will
be threatened from two sides.

Solder Sailor Vote
Getting Is Headache
To All congressman
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.--One OF
the sweetest little headaches in the
congressional offing is, strangely
enough, a partisan matter on
which almost all members of both
chambers are in perfect agreement.
It is the proposition of getting in
the soldier-sailor vote II there is
anyone who is in favor of denying
the constitutional right of the men
in the armed forces to cast their
ballots, he hasn't even whispered it
around Capitol Hill. The headache
arises out OF how to get that vote in.
BY the time of the national cleo
tons in November next year, four
or five million men may be scat
tered over the whole globe Another
three or four million will be in train
ing camps, in most cases, outside
their own states.
Even considering the number of
these under 81, the five or six mil
lion who could and would vote COM
prise easily the most important body
of balloteers that the get-out- the
vote advocates ever have had to deal
with. National elections have been
won many times by far smaller ma
jorities and it is likely the service
vote could be the determining fac
tors in hundreds of congressional
and many state contests.
Except for the setting-up of bal
lot distribution machinery in the
many camps and training stations,
getting in the soldier vote within
the United States presents no par
ticular problem. The principle of
absentee balloting has been in prac-
tice for years and the blueprint al
ready exists. 1t was. however,
pretty flat fizzle in 1912 The CEN
sus bureau estimated that only
about $4,000 service men voted for
representatives and Senators at that
time, compared to total vote of
nearly 80 million and that there
probably were more than 100000
eligible voters in uniform at that
time
The real problem comes in try
ing to work out means of getting
in the overseas vote without dis
rupting the war effort.
A number OF bills already have
been introduced in Congress. but it

SPORTS WORLD

San Francisco, July 23-UP)-
Fans and fellow athletes of Marine
Capt. Charles Paddock were deeply
grieved today at the death of the
Worlds Fastest Human" in a Navy
airplane crash at Sitka, Alaska.
Paddock, star member of the
University of Southern California
and U. S. Olympic track teams two
decades ago, became the second Ma
tionally-known athlete to die during
this war. Nile Kinnick, famous foot
ball star from the University of
Iowa, was killed some weeks ago.
Mrs. Neva Paddock, wife of the
track star, was grief stricken at her
home. The Paddocks were married
in Dec. 1880, and have a son and
daughter.
A veteran of World War I, where
he served in the field artillery and
as a reconnaissance officer on Cen
John ]. Pershing's staff in Paris,
Paddock was the first American
sprinter to run the 100-yard dash
under 10 seconds. He said he wanted
plenty of action" when he entered
the current conflict and at the time
of his death, he still held records
for 300 yards and 300 meters.
Native OF Texas
Born in Gainesville, Tex, on Aug
IL, 1900, Paddock became famous as
a sprinter at U. S. c. He won the 100
and 200 meter events in 1919 at the
Inter-Allied games at Paris while a
freshman at College. In 1920 he won
the 1OO-metere dash in the Antwerp
Olympic games in 1913. In the 1924
Olympics at Paris, he finished sec
ond in the 200 meters and placed
in the 100 meters. He qualified for
his third Olympic team in 1928 but
was unable to place.
Paddock reached his peak in 1921
when he held both 220 and 100-yard
dash standards. He travelled the 22O
in 208 seconds to break a 25-year-
old standard of 212 and equalled
the 1OO-yard mark of 90. nine of his
world records from 80 yards to 300
meters still stand.
One of the most colorful sprint
ers ever known, Paddock was the
first to better 9.6 in the 100 yards
He was clicked in 95 in 1926, but
the time was not accepted because
only watches with one-fifth second
timing were recognized as official.
Paddock was general manager OF
the Long Beach, Calf, Press Tele-
gram and helped the Pasadena
Calf, Star News and Post prior to
entering the service.
