 GRANTED TO 0. P. {

Food rationing now may be in stituted in Alaska whenever the of flee Of Price Administration deems it necessary, according to a direc- tive issued by Food Administrator Claude Wickarrd, this week, but no rationing program is contemplated at present.

 However, it was pointed out, the directive is merely an enabling measure which provides the neces- sary authority. A Department of Agriculture statement said no ra- tioning action is contemplated in the immediate future.

CITIZENS PROTEST OVER
 DOGS RUNNING AT LARGE;
 COUNCIL GIVES WARNING

Petition with the signatures of 96 persons in the community was presented the Town Council at it's regular meeting last night asking that the dog nuisance be abated. It was brought out that the eondi- tion is particularly obnoxious this spring, induced in large degree by the inability of the Town to get a dog catcher and roun dup some of the straying nuts and their own CTS. Councilmen, however, decided to make an effort to enforce the dog ordinance and urged the cooperation of the citizens in so doing
 Under the ordinance, it isn't ne- cessary to impound the dog. All that is necessary is to report the owner as allowing his dog to run. The owner is required to appear before the city magistrate and answer the charge or surrender the dog for proper disposition.
 If you value your dog and wish to avoid the penalties provided, it is suggested by the Council that you procure the necessary license and keep your dog off the streets and from public places within the Town of Wrangell, is the fair warning of the Council

MOSCOW MEETING
MAY SHORTEN WAR
Viktorov Also Sees Stable
Peace AS One OF Re-
suits OF Conference

Editors: An authoritative
Russian estimate of the re-

power conference is given in

the leading journalists Of the
Soviet Union, Yakov Viktorov,

MOSCOW, Nov. 6-Maximum
shortening of the war by the joint
efforts of the Allied countries, a
stable, durable peace and univer-
sal security based on the fruitful
cooperation of the Allied great
powers-such is a general formula
in which the results of the recently
concluded Moscow conference OF
the foreign secretaries of the
United States, United Kingdom and
Soviet Union may be summed up.
This general formula describes,
as it were, the general trend of
the work done. But if we go into
it in detail we get an impressive
and inspiring picture of a big job
we'll done, embracing whole ga
NUT of problems from the most
urgently vital-namely those COW
ering prosecution of the war-to
long-term problems of postwar
cooperation based on a practical
solution of questions arising in the
course of the war.
The agenda of the conference.
which included all questions SUBJ
mitted by the governments repre-
sented, was dictated by realities.
Naturally, the activities of the
conference were organically con-
nected with the situations which
have arisen in the course of the
war.

SEVERAL MARINES
HURT IN ACCIDENT
Seashore Bus Overturns On
Highway Three Miles
South OF Davis

Approximately 80 Marines were
slightly injured when a Seashore
Transportation company bus, op-
Grated by George F. Lowery, of
ia North Fifth street, overturned
on Highway II, three miles south

According to Lowery's report to
State Highway Patrolman W. B.
Riddick, the bus was travelling at
about IS miles an hour in the di-
rection of Camp Davis when he
suddenly dozed and the vehicle ran
off on the soft shoulders of the

been underway.
The bus, one of the smaller type,
turned completely over, Riddick
said.
First aid was administered to
some of the passengers before they
were taken to the hospital for OBJ

FRANCO DESCRIBED
AS FADING LEADER
May Accede To Monarchist
Demands In Effort To
Save His Regime

LONDON, Nov. 6-tP-- General
lissimo Froncisco Franco is de-
scribed as fading dictator ir
the picture of Spain reaching Lon.
don this week in dispatches, both
private and diplomatic.
In the British government, as ir
the American, there has been a
feeling that Frances dictatorship
would eventually be dragged down
ir theA wake of Hitler's, since the
war has tended to discredit all
Axis or Pro-Axis regimes.
There is a feeling now, however,
that Franco may attempt to sal
wage his regime by acceding to
Monarchist demands for a restor-
alton of the crown with Prince
Juan as king in a bid for the
friendship of the United Nations.
Little sympathy is protested for
Franco in the British foreign Of
flee in view of what is regarded
as consistently Pro-Axis atti-
tude which he has shown. British
relations with his government, like
those of the United States, seem
based on desire to keep the
Iherian peninsula quiet while the
Allies fight on other fronts, where
they have their hands full.
In the view of some British Of
ficials, Franco has been cutting the
ground from under himself by
snubbing the Allies and continuing
to play lip service, if little more,
to his fascist friends.
A message which he sent this
week felicitating Jose P. Laurel,
the Axis-directed puppet president
Of the Philippines, is regarded in
the words of one of these officials
as "a stupid political blunder. .
British officialdom has refrained
from coment on this action of
Frances leaving reaction to Wash
ington because of the greater
American interests in the Philip
pines. Britons noted, however, the
apparent Spanish attempt to pla-
cate the Allies in the Madrid gov
ernment's denial that it had form
ally recognized the Laurel regime
or that it had reached CONNER
cial agreement with Mussolini's
Neo-Fascist regime in Italy.
