 BY SAILOR
Doc HoIImann in Critical COnditiOn-Knifer
 Is Held

II. M. Hollmann, well-known Ju- neau druggist, was in critical con dition in St. Anns Hospital here this morning after being stabbed il the back last night by sailor, in the Occidental Cocktail Bar on South Franklin Street
 The sailor, Guy Wesley Epperly who only arrived here yesterday morning for duty, is being held by City Police on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon He will be turned over to Federal officials probably this afternoon. Chief of Police John Monagle said the men apparently didn't know each other, and could find no reason for the stabbing.
 Stabbed In Back
 Witnesses said Hollmann walked into the establishment, may have spoken briefly to Epperly, then walked over to the bar and came back, that Epperly pulled out a knife he had been flourishing pre- viously and stabbed Hollmann The wound was just below the right shoulder blade.
 Police were called and Patrolmen Roy Eaton and Harry Murray an- swered the call. Epperly, meanwhile, had tried to escape but was arrest ed by the patrolman in front of the Juneau Inn.
 The stabbing occurred at about 9:30 pm. and Epperly was arrested shortly after that time.
 Holman was taken immediately to St. Ann's Hospital, where pr. c. c. Carter attended him.
 Well-Known Here
 Known to his many friends as Doc" Hollmann, the Juneau Drug gist of late has been with the Guy Smith Drug Store in Juneau. He has been a Juneau resident for many years and formerly owned his own drug store at Second and Sew ard. Before going with Guy Smith he was employed in defense work in Sitka and to the Westward.
 He has wife Evelyn, and two children, living at 603 Twelfth Street.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. = Unless we meet serious reversals on the continent, there is little likelihood that civilians will undergo any greater war hardships in the com ing months than they have in the past.
 The reasons for this are pretty complicated and I could find mo- body in WIPE who was willing to be quoted on it. Tn the first place, the Army and Navy apparently have gotten over their fever of over buying. Not only have they let up on the purchase of some commo- dities. but they are even turning others back into civilian channels, for example, woolen cloth. And Army cotton goods requirements next year will be only half of this years.
 As matter of fact, the threat of rationing clothing has almost completely disappeared. although

(By Associated Press)

With the Russian and German Ukranian armies locked in a terrific struggle at Kiev and the lower Dneiper River valley, Red Army Air Force bombers unleashed a bombardment against three White Russian rail centers barring the way for the invasion of German held Poland and the Baltic States.
 The Moscow radio reported this morning that Mogilev. Orsha and vitebsk. strongly fortified German bases in White Russia, are being pounded for the second straight night.
 The large formations of bombers are intended to soften up the de- fense lines and pave the way for the advancing Red forces which yester- day rolled westward in the rain to reach the Pronya River, going through 460 towns and villages.

WASHINGTON = John Hubner the young diplomat who saved the Queen Mary with around lO,ool American troops on board, has just resigned. His resignation illustrates one of the fundamental problems Tn keeping an alert American diplo- matic service-marriage to foreign women.
 In this case Hubner is marrying the niece of ths Archbishop of Sac Paulo in Brazil. To do so the State Department has told him he must resign.
 This means the loss of a man with many years experience, also one who proved himself especially quick -witted in a major emergency More than year ago. the Nazi radio announced that the Queer Mary. crammed with U. s. troops was sunk off Brazil From the War Department came complete silence In order not to play into Nazi hands, no word of explanation was given as to what actually had hap pened to the Queen Mary. There was a good reason for this. Here is what happened.
 PLOT AGAINST QUEEN MARY
 Up in Sac Paulo, central state of Brazil, the State Departments John Hubner had discovered that large radio transmitter had been import ed by the German firm of Siemens and Co.,, and was being held for de- livery to a purchaser. The address of that purchaser was phony ano probably the name also.
 So Hubner had the efficient Bra zilian police watch the Siemens store night and day to see who might take delivery of the radio trans hitter. No one came. Finally, one evening at GAS, just before the store closed, a German picked up the radio transmitter He was immed- lately arrested, subjected to stiff cross-examination and after man, hours finally broke down. He dis closed the names of his confed- crates, together with the location ol a Nazi radio station in the hills above Rio de JaneirO.
 Hubner, working with the coop erative Brazilian police. immediately rounded up the gang, and flew t6 Rio where the radio station wal seized-just as it was sending out a message to Nazi subs regarding the sailing of the Queen Mary.
 .It had been a perfect Nazi trap The Queen Mary had put in at Rit for fuel and supplies. She was toe big to hide. Nazi agents in Rie learned her sailing time, discovered

 Also, U. s. production has far exceeded expectations and i'll spite of production lags in certain instru- ments of war, we've got more fac- tory space than we know what to do with. If the manpower and a few critical materials could be found, that space could be put to production of civilian supplies.
 As result, WIPES Office of Civil Requirements is clamoring for re- lief of sone scarcities and is like- ly to get at least a portion of them. For example, the laundry service situation has become so critical in some areas that any day now we may hear that the manufacture of washing machines and electric irons may be resumed-on a curtailed

Dear Boys and Girls: During the
past week the police department has
received many complaints about
children destroying our wild life, es-
pecially the birds. This is being done
by means of air rifles, Obj guns ),
sling shots and climbing trees to
destroy the nests. So serious has
this problem become throughout the
state that a few years ago the state
legislature had inserted a special
clause into the statute classifying
air rifles and sling shots as danger
GUS weapons. Here is a subsection Of
Section 1443e-Carrying and sale of
dangerous weapons.-(AO Any per-
son who shall carry upon his person
any Sling Shot, Air Rifle, BIB Guns,
black jack, sand bag, metal or brass
knuckles, or stiletto, or any knife
the edged portion of the blade of
which is four inches or over in
length, or any other dangerous or
deadly weapon or instrument, I'M
less such person shall have been
granted a written permit issued and
signed by the first selectman of a
town, the moyar or chief of police
of a city or the warden of Dor
ough, authorizing such person to
carry such weapon or instrument
within such town, city or borough,
shall be fined not more than five
hundred dollars or imprisoned not
more than three years or both. The
law also gives the power to confis-
cate any one of the above weapons
to the municipality. The sale of any
of the above weapons is also record
ed in police headquarters by the
person who sells it, giving the name.
address, etc. of the one who buys
the weapon"
Fellas, you probably don't realize
the power that is in an air rifle, or
you would not be so eager to use
one. Many child has lost the
sight of an eye or been seriously in
jured by some boy who used the
old alibi of, 1 did not know it was

the neighbors windows are generally
considered a good target with the
result that the parents Of the boy
have to pay out their hard earned
money. A boy with a slung shot is
liable to get into trouble because
they are very dangerous things to
put into the hands of some of lads
who are really crack shots with
them. So boys, we ask you in fair
ness to yourself and the public,
please do not use either BIB gun
or slung shot. 1t is not only against
the state law but also the law Of
common sense. Better be safe than

among the pastimes of the SOL

as it did in the other World War.

blackjack is not strictly Amer

At least not by birth.

possible, while the dealer en-
deavors TO beat that duke. 1t
is very handy game.
A monkey can play it as well
as man.
Its simplicity and lack Of me-
chanics probably accounts for
its popularity with the soldiers.
\ Ii you require is a deck OF
"A cards and money.
Proportionately to th eir
means, soldiers always play for
higher stakes than any other
class of gamesters, especially
when they are abroad, though
as rule it is not blackjack
that sees the highest gambling.
Around pay days when the
money is most plentiful among
the soldiers, the old "tats," or
dice, are employed because they
give faster and more general
action than anything else.
Blackjack is morg of a di-
version and less bl96d-heating.
1t is quieter than the dice,
which is not infrsquently con-
sideration among the soldiers.
Just now our lads probably
are jouSting at blackjack for
more different kinds of money
than any other army the world
has ever known.
