JAP ESPIONAGE

The records of the Dies Com
mittee had great deal to do with
the filming of goth Century Fox's
Little Tokyo, U. S. A." showing
for the last times tonight at the
Goth Century Theatre, according to
Producer Bryan Foy.
Although the original screen play
is fictional, Foy revealed that Incl
dents of espionage in the Los
Angeles Japanese sector, before the
attack on Pearl Harbor. were incor-
porated into the script from actual
cases recorded by the committee in
vestigating espionage.
Furthermore, Little Tokyo, u S.
A." carries a foreword stating that
all incidents having to do with es-
pionage are based on facts.
Some of these Incidents ex-
planned the producer. ARE so fan
tastic that some folks will find
them hard to believe. But they all
are true and we have the records
to prove them"

At the regular meeting of the Ju-

on Thursday, December 2. the fol-
lowing excerpt, from the weekly let
ter OF Chester Bowles to all War
Price and Rationing Board was read
with considerable interest as 1t
throws some light on the tire situa-
ton in Juneau:
Right now one of our biggest
worries is the tire situation. AS you
know, Colonel Dewey, the Rubber
Director, had to reduce our quotas
of both truck and passenger car
tires sharply for November. AT the
moment. the demand for truck tires
| is exceeding production by about
100000 tires a month, and it looks
as if we might be a million short
by the end of the year
Il have just seen the figures
showing how many tires Of all kinds,
both new and used, we have on hand.
The total is roughly 100000, and
the experts say that four million is
the absolute minimum if even a few
tires are to be available in all parts
of the country. They tell me that
if our stock gets down below four
million, three are going to a good
many towns where no tires of any
kind will be available. In view of
those facts, conservation certainly
becomes all the more important"

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
major Robert Q. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON Don't take those
"Bricker- for President" breezes from
Capitol Hill too seriously. Senate
and House members from Ohio
have come out unanimously for
the Ohio governor--but inside facts
are that they would prefer to see
Senator Bob Taft emerge as the
COP White House nominee.
Further inside fact is that Taft
hasn't completely eliminated him.
self as Presidential hopeful,
though it was Taft--and none other
who convinced Bricker that he
should throw his hat in the Presi-
dental ring even after Bricker had
made up his mind to run for a
fourth term as Governor of Ohio.
This eased out, in part, at Sc
cret meeting of Ohio Senators and
Congressman which endorsed Brick
er unanimously for the Presidency.
While everybody was giving lip
service to Bricker, it was quite APP
parent that their hearts belonged
to Taft.
Hardly had the unanimous
meeting for Bricker begun, when
Representative Ed Rowe of Ohio
declared that he doubted that
Bricker could beat Wendell Willkie
in the Akron area. Willkie had got
in a lot of spadework in this Sec
ton, Rowe said, and had some po-
tent backing, including that of
Robert Weaver, a Cleveland manu-
facturer.
Representative Frances Bolton of
Ohio, one of the wealthiest men,
bers of Congress, demurred that
Miss Marion Martin, chief of the
women's division of the Republican
National Committee. had turned
against" Willkie and that Willkie
could therefore expect little sup
port from COP women voters in
1914.
This was quickly challenged on
the ground that Miss Martin was
political ally of Sinclair Weeks
of Massachusetts, treasurer of the
Republican National Committee and
strong Willkie booster. However,
Mrs. Bolton insisted that Miss Mar
tin had been talking against
Willkie
1t was brought out that Repre-
sentative Carroll Reece of Tennes-
see, Republican, likely would man
age Bricker's campaign and could
assure the Ohio governor the sup
port of most of the Southern dele
gates at the COP convention.

WEATHER HITS
SKIING PARTY

Few Juneau skiers ventured into
the unfavorable weather Sunday
which took virtually all snow off the
lower reaches of the Douglas Island
ski area. Several high school skiers
spent Saturday night at the upper
Ski Bowl cabin and reported skiing
conditions as poor. A few others
who went part way up the trail
yesterday said conditions were very
bad.
Late in the afternoon a large
number of Ski Club members and
their friends gathered at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Werner for
refreshments and to talk over plans
for the winter.
Ski Club dues are due, according
to Secretary Faith Cushman, and
any person wishing to renew men,
bership or join for the first time
should get in touch with her, with

WARTIME COMEDY
ENDING TONIGHT
AT CAPITOL SHOW

All Europe ablaze with the blitz-
and in the midst of it two Ameri-
cans in love. trying to pull one an
other out of peril--that's the excit-
ing idea of Leo Carey's once Upon
A Honeymoon" new starring We
hicle for Cary Grant and Ginger
Rogers. The picture is showing for
the last times tonight at the Capt.
toll Theatre.
Sparkling with hilarity through
out its swift action, the story re-
wolves about the efforts of former
dancer, married to Nazi noble
man, to break away from her
newly wed husband as soon as she
learns his real character Aiding
and abetting her attempts is an
American news commentator who
has helped in the unmasking and
who, very much in love with her,
does his best to get them both
through the German ring of steel
from Poland to France.
How the trio come together again
in Paris under thrill-packed cir
cumstances makes the climax of the
Leo McCarey production, which is
said to be one of the most enter
tanning films of the entire season.
Walter Slezak, noted Viennese
actor making his first American
screen appearance, has the role Of
the suave but deadly Baron, and
Albert Decker. Ferike Boros, Al
bert Basserman and other we'll
known players are cast in import
ant parts.

Rev. J. DOnnelly turn to his attacks.
Our paganS are not even good
barber shop strategists. Long ago
the State Department recognized
not only the justice but also the
wisdom of its present policy and re-
peatedly it has assured the German
and italian people that our war
will not be followed by the destruc-
ton of their nations as Goebbels has
SO often charged in his attempts to
trade on this deep-set fear in his
victory or destruction" speeches.
WHO SHOULD BE PUNISHED?
Those guilty of the worldwide
misery should be brought to justice,
not out of revenge but by virtue of
the same principles by which a
State Furnishes those among its
members who offend against
the common good, to discour-
age and deter an repetition of
their offenses. 1t Is true that right
now we have no international Or
ganization possessing juridicial pow
er over its member states but at
least the skeleton of such an organ
ization might be formed by the
union of the more important Of its
potential members who are now our
allies. This organization would have
not only the right but the duty to
protect the common good of its
members.
But who of our enemies should be
punished? Recently the Ethics
Committee of the Catholic Associa-
ton for International Peace made
public statement with pertinent
observations and of course in &C
cord with sound moral principles.
According to some or less promi-
nent writer's" the reports say, dire
penalties should fall upon the en-
tire enemy peoples, especially the
Germans. In all probability this
would be neither practicable nor
conducive to the common good Of
the nations. And it would be I'M
just 20 the majority Of those pun
ished.
upon the leading culprits OF Ger
many, Italy and Japan should be
imposed extreme penalties. For the
most responsible of them this would
mean death at the hands of a firing
squad.
For the minor culprits In the
enemy countries, imprisonment,
Punishment and other milder penal
ties would probably be sufficient to
safeguard the international common
good.
