SOMERVELL'S PENTAGON
 BUILDING

"a General Brehon Somervell, who master minded the terrific job of sending supplies abroad for the in- vasion, also conceived and built the War Departments elaborate Pen- tagon Building Proudly, he re- fers to that massive structure as his overgrown little baby and has good -naturedly taken much kidding about its intricate network of cor riders. Scoffing at the suggestion that each employe be given a map to find his way around, he declared that only a fool could get lost in the Pentagon.
 Recently, grey-haired, stately officer, wearing three stars on his Army coat, meekly stuck his head inside an office and sheepishly asked. Where am I? Can any one here direct me to my officer"
 Certainly, General Somervell, " replied a captain, who consulted a map on the wall and then proceed ed to guide the General back to Service Forces headquarters.
 Maps are now being printed for all Pentagon employees.

AFL members in the service would join the VFW instead of the Le- zion when they left the service. More than two million union men are in the service. This would be a sizeable chunk for any group to recruit.
 However, labor has not fallen for the bait. Instead, trade-union chapters of the American Legion are being rapidly built up to help combat any anti-union feelings of returning servicemen.
 The Veterans of Foreign Wars also have made hay with a speech delivered by national Le- zion Commander Warren Atherton in the South Pacific area recently. Atherton debunked the idea that men in the front lines fighting the Japs want furloughs home. The VFW immediately took advantage of this statement, set up terrific howl for overseas furloughs, soon found membership applications pouring in.

fighting Admiral Halsey were hold ing a joint press conference. The Secretary of the Navy was asked if he had any comment on the fall of the Tojo Cabinet. He replied that Navy personnel, including himself, were not supposed to com- ment on politics.
 Whereupon Admiral King inter- rupted and, almost as if the Sec retary of the Navy were a little boy, corrected him.
 T will comment on that" he announced, despite Forrestals statement that political matters were not for comment by Navy personnel. obviously, the Cabinet would not have fallen unless there was dissatisfaction on the part of military leaders with ths conduct of the war. The Japanese can be expected to continue to wage war with all the powers they possess"
 Secretary Forrestal took the Ad- miral's remarks interpreted by those present as an indirect slap idown-without saying a word.

Gasoline Tax Will Face Legislature Again
lKetchikan Chronicle)

(Ketchikan Chronice)
 The matter of evying gasoline tax ill Alaska probably will come up before the Legislature again as it has already been discussed by civic groups here and elsewhere in Alaska
 The most important fact to be determined, or course is how much gasoline is used and how much revenue could be raised by taxing it fairly
 Committeeman of the last Legislature apparently were of the opinion that the amount of gasoline sold to automobiles boats would be exempt, it is assumed) would not be sufficient to pay the cost of collection
 But Alaska's highway system is growing. It will grow more after the war.
 The virtue of the gasoline tax, originated III Oregon in 1919 is that the people who use the pubic highways pay for their construction and upkeep Some States divert gas funds for other purposes, but such diversion meets considerable opposition
 Another problem met in the States is this: drivers consume half their gasoline within the cities, and the gas tax money in most States is used within city limits only for construction and maintenance of arterial highways In Alaska the percentage of drv- ing within cities is probably greater than in the States.
 Soon or late it is likely Alaska will have gasohne

LYING ON ICKES

Howard Lyng of Nome, Democratic National com mitteeman for Alaska takes few mighty blasts at Secretary of the Harold L. Ickes and others of the Roosevelt cabinet in a recent article in the Nome Nugget
 Exception is taken to the Secretarys opposition to the proposed Alaska statehood bill in committee hearing. Other members of the cabinet did go on record as not opposing the bill passage were delayed until after the war Ickes said the bill would turn over to one State tremendous natural resources ac- ouired by the United States and held as national asset for the entire people
 Among other things, MT Lyng said about 1ckes;
 MT Ickes has long regarded Alaska as his special oyster and long ago saked his claim to sovereignty over it.

 Law believes that the future peace of the world must be guar anteed not by the big nations alone, but in conjunction with the smaller nations. He is a vigorous opponent of the Watler Lippman idea tlater expounded by Governor Dewey) that there must be an al- liance between Great Britain and the United States. On the con- trary, Law believes that basic peace machinery must be worked out first between Britain, Russia, the U. $. A. and China, then enlarged to take in the other nations.
 Law is in Washington-in con- junction with Lord Beaverbrook-- first to lay the foundation for an Anglo American petroleum accord. But even more important, he will do some quiet spadework regarding permanent world peace.
 NOTE = One reason the Good Neighbor policy has been slipping lately is that the State Department has failed to consult Latin Ameri- can nations regarding world peace plans. Latin Americans, especially our Allies, feel they have just as much at stake as we. But they have been completely ignored-un- til the Breton Woods monetary conference. At Breton Woods, far sighted Judge Vinson and Henry Morgenthau included two Good Neighbors on the board of directors of the proposed world bank.

Insiders now admit that friction between Secretary of the Navy For restal and Chief of Naval Opera tions Admiral Ernie King is just as bad as it was between King and the late Frank Knox-or worse.
 Knox and Admiral King rubbed each other raw. King used to go over the head of the Secretary of the Navy, even overruled him re- garding the Navy's new grey sum iner uniform, which Knox = and most Navy men-opposed.
 When Forrestal became Secretary of the Navy, it was hoped that relations would be harmonious. Last week, however, Admiral King publicly gave his chief an adroit slap-down.

Jewish Telegraphic Agency was
told by a neutral traveller who

capitals recently.
The JTA informant said that it
is almost impossible to ascertain
the whereabouts Of former Jew

neighbors, when queried concern
ing the fate of Jews who lived in
the neighborhood, can only fur
nish the vaguest details as to
their sudden disappearance, or, in
some cases, gruesome stories OF
how the Jews were taken from
their homes by the police in the
middle of the night annd never
heard of again. Even the families
of the arrested Jews never learn

POlish-Jewish Underground Asks
Roosevelt, Churchill To Set Tn
lnter-Allied Rescue BODY

LONDON (JTA)-An appeal
from the Polish-Jewish under
ground for the immediate estab-
llshment of an inter-Allied bodv
empowered to stop the mass
murder of Jews was sent to Prime
Minister Churchill and President
Roosevelt this week. The message
was received by Emanuel Szerer,
Jewish deputy in the Polish Nat
ional Council, who forwarded it
to the heads of the British and
American Governments.
A Polish underground news
paper received here carries an
article asserting that the over
whelming majority of the popula-
ton of occupied Poland is doing
everything possible to assist the
Jews there, and more than one
Pole has given his life" in this
task. It denounced 'those few
members of the underworld who
have betrayed Jews to the Ger
mans or who have claimed that
Poles need not interest themselves
in the fate Of their Jewish fellow
citizens.
At the same time, it is reported
here that a Polish priest, Father
Ulatiwski of LODI, has been sent
to a concentration camp for issu-
ing certificates to Jewish women

Jewish circles here are in re-

underground sources. This gave
additional details of the revolt at
the Treblinka death camp last
year, revealing that 200 Jews and
SO Germans were killed during the
outbreak. The report also stated
that there were 5000 Jews in the
Wilma ghetto as of last September,
after 5000 had been shipped to
Estonia for forced labor.

gians, the neutral traveller voiced
the opinion that a defeat of the
Germans will not, automatically,
bring an end to anti-Semitism in
western Europe. He said that
some of the Nazi arguments con-
corning Jews have influenced the
populations of the occupied coun-
tries, resulting in these people
asserting that while they were not
opposed to native Jews, they
would object to immigration of
Jews from eastern Europe after
the war.
