 Details of the daring assault were isclosed nearly two weeks after the roeration which established a 5rong position more than 100 miles south Of the Stilwell forces.
 Green clad British and Indian Infantry forces were flown into the Burma jungle from Indian bases. The special air commando task force was first proposed at the Que bec conferences between President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Chur- chill. It was commanded by Col. Philip Cochran. of Erie, Pennsyl- yania. known as the original of the cartoon strip character Flip Corkin. The bold attack caught the Japs completely by surprise

The report continued as follows
 There was Sl29.000 in school and sever bonds outstanding in 1937 on which the city had paid more than s75,000 in interest at 6 per- cent, and no effort had been made to pay any of the principal. These scnds were refinanced in 1940 at a 8 percent interest rate, saving of s3,o50 to the city in interest annu- ally The savings thus made have been applied on the principal, and m a period of 10 years these bonds will be fully redeemed if the fu- ture city governments will continue the policy set up by this council
 Tn fact, if the city does not is sue any more bonds of indebted ness 1t will be out of debt com pletely by April, 1859.
 "Ihe bonds are being paid off at the rate of sl6,000 annually at pre- sent, but the saving in interest will enable the city to pay the entire bond issue off in larger amounts beginning with this year.

 One thing that has caused many Washington observers to snicker is that the Baruch- Hancock report suggests that all reconversion and unemployment be handled by exist ing agencies. merely with coordin- ators tying the work together; while congressional plans call for the establishment of new agencies in other words, a spread of bu- reaucracy, which has been the main target of anti-New Dealers for years.

| Our Police Department has been modernized in the past six years, and it has been doing fine job. i Naturally, a police job is a hard ! job. A policeman is required to en- force the laws the best he can. It is not at all pleasant job, but our men have taken the complaints with a fine attitude.
 Our police receipts have increas- cd from $2,20G six years ago to more than $2,200 six years ago to more than $2o,000 annually today, an indication of the increased du- ties and activities of the Police De- partment. I feel that more of our people should consider the effor $ of our law enforcement men and give them whole hearted coopera- tion
 Library
 "Our library, under the direction of Miss Anne Coleman, has done very well considering the quarters and the inadequate space which Miss Coleman has had to worK with. Many new books have been acquired, and under the present system of an advisory committee I feel that the future of the library IS good, if the new administrations will continue to work out the pro- ject of building a new municipal building, which could provide space for a library with modern equip ment and facilities.
 The street gang, under the fore manship of Bert Lybeck, has done a job we can all be proud of. Their work really shows up. They're the boys who increase the values of your property.
 The present crew has been with the city long time, and each man knows his job and never complains about doing his work. Some of the work is not very pleasant, but these men have endeavored to give us the best and we should be proud of the work they're doing. have always been proud Of my street gang.
 Cemetery
 Our cemetery is at present in as good condition as we can keep it, but within the next year the city must look for a new site because the facilities, according to an esti- mate made last year, probably will not last another two years.
 "The street system on the tide flats beyond E Street have been ex- tended from the Douglas Bridge to Gold Creek, and we are now ex- tending 7th and 9th Streets to give the home owners in that area bet ter access to their property It is hoped that water mains and fire protection will be installed in these areas in the next year
 The City Dock is at present in fine shape and is leased to the ! Northland Transportation Co., The | actual income has increased during the period of operation by the city of this property. have always ad- vocated the sale of this dock, and /; believe the city would benefit more from the taxes derived from the property than from the ownership.
 New City Hall
 "The money derived from this sale could be used in a fund which could be the means of constructing a new Municipal Building which IS so badly needed The construction of new city hall has always been my dream, and hope that the future council and mayor carry out this idea and give us a building tf which we can be proud"

walks, and a modern sewer system and I believe these things have been of great saving to the share owners of this city. Our health con ditions have been greatly improved, and the streets being paved mean great saving in maintenance and repair for the taxpayers as well as lcnger life for the motorists car.
 The expense of the city to main- tain Willoughby Avenue and E ana ll2 Streets before paving was ap- proximately s4o0o annually, and the maintenance expense at present is practically nothing. The saving on coo each year-is applied on the bond issue each year, and in 1858 it will be fully paid.
 Fine Boat Harbor
 We have fine boat harbOr which was built in 1888 and I be- lieve we will all agree that this installation has been and always will be one of the greatest assets that we own. Our harbor has brought many boats to this area and we have endeavored to give the boat owners all of the necessary cCnveniences which have been pos sible with the funds available.
 Because of the city's inability to secure materials for new con- struction during the last two war years, we have set up sinking fund. in United States War Bonds, amounting to $35.000 We have been able to help do our part to- wards helping our country to fin ance the war, and also have creat- ed a fund which will be vitally needed for work after the war isI over
 The financial structure of the city has never been in as good shape as it is today, and l sincere ly hope that future administrations will continue to carry out the sys- tenn that has been put into effect by the present administration and not destroy that which has built up the present structure.
 Swimming Pool
 Improvements have been made each year in, our Evergreen Bowl Recreation Park. A swimming tank and wading pool have been install ed for the children and it is as good as any on the Alaska Coast. I hope some day that a system can be installed for heating the water and that we will all have a place where we can take advantage of a | good plunge and shower
 We have endeavored to keep our Fire Department equipped with the pest money can buy, and as you al know, we are. and always have been, proud of our fire boys untir- ing efforts to keep the department 1 up to the minute We have increas- ed the equipment by one Seagraves bumper truck, one of the greatest ! assets We own today. Our Fire De- { partment has never been denied any equipment it has asked for | within reason, and l might state l it has never asked for anything its men did not believe was necessary for the safety of our city. They have done a fine job.
 Our school system is one of the best on the Coast. It is accredited with all of the necessary require ments to make our high school stu dents eligible to enter any college in the States. The School Board and the staff of the schools are entitled to much credit for keeping our school system up to it's present standard.

Grain Ebb Causes Worry

Washington, March 23-(UP)- Agricultural officials were reported seriously concerned today over the prospect that domestic grain sup plies will be inadequate to meet the heavy demands for livestock feed and industrial purposes
 War Food Administrator Marvin Jones told the Senate banking com- mittee yesterday that he was dis turbed' over the wheat shortage and that efforts were being made to get both wheat and other grains from "every conceivable source"
 The tight corn supply also prompted concern, and the WFA was expected to issue soon a set- aside order on corn moving to coun- try elevators. The supplies would be used to prevent a shutdown of a rumber of processing plants whose stocks have fallen to dangerously low" levels.
 Jones told the committee that on July 1, carry-over stocks of wheat will be reduced to 200, 0,000,0 900 bush els. With 1944 wheat production es- timated at only 750000,000 bushels
 the smallest since 1939-it was apparent that by next year the United States will be dependent on foreign imports to meet it's needs. Requirements this year are estimat- ed at 1,2OO 1000, ,00O bushels and can not be expected to decline material (Continued on Page 4)
