If youll pick up your Empire for yesterday and peek at the top of column one page six, you'll see some amazing news Juneau actually has complete ticket filed for the city election be held April That's really news!
 We are hoping that this is indication that much of the talk which has been dusting off civic spirit during recent weeks serious. Interest and active interest in city government is the first order of business in this category.
 We also hope to see another one or complete tickets filed before the deadne which is just few weeks off because then will really begin to believe that the people of Juneau have some interest n running their s25oOoo corporation
 We also hope to see the ctys registration books for voters swelled back to normal before the election. The city officials who will be elected should into office knowing that they have the support of the majority of Juneau's residents, and this only be known if each and every one of you eligible voters or haven't voted before and then follow this up by VOTING ON APRIL Al
 Juneau is in the spotlight now and will be for some time under the scrutiny of potential new resi- dents and businessmen One of the things they will look for is a good, active, live community spirit.
 We should all participate in our city government Most of us by making of privilege of voting Others by offering their services city officers. We take this opportunity of congratulatng four of the latter class the men who filed yesterday on the Progressive Ticket:

ANZIo ORDNANCE |.

Although the problem of supply on the Anzio beachhead has been em- phasized, another factor which the public doesn't realize is the prob- lem of ordnance.
 Inside that slender foothold in Italy, there must be not only kit chens and temporary hospitals but, even more important, ammunition dumps and repair shops. This IS the job of ordnance A tank is no good unless it is kept in repair and it is the job of ordnance not only to build tanks, but to train men to go along with them into the field of battle to see that they are kept running.
 The same is true of artillery ana every other type of weapon. That is why the AnZio beachhead has to maintain machine shops, repair garages plus large number of trained ordnance men to keep the weapons at the front operating All of this has to be done under the terrific hazard of enemy ar tillery fire, because Nazi big guns are never out of range.
 Paradoxical fact is that the man responsible for the good job, being done by ordnance is former Navy man. He is hard hitting Major General Levin Campbell, Chief of Ordnance, who graduated from An napolis but later joined the coast artillery and has been in the Army ever since
 It was Campbell who decentral- ized the somewhat moribund ord- nance department shortly after Pearl Harbor, moving ammunition to St. Louis, automotive vehicles to Detroit. safety and security to Chi cago. artillery carriages toFyRock Island. Ill, and getting things away from Washington where. as he says, People are always. breathing down your neck
 It was Campbell who cleared the decks for the famous bazooka anti tank gun. Though he has been criticized for not developing an air plane rocket gun similar to the Germans weapon, it was really General Hap" Arnold, chief of the

A staunch Democratic politico has just been placed in charge of all OPA administration not only for Iowa but also for Illinois, Wiscon- sin, Minnesota, Nebraska, and North and South Dakota.
 He is Rae Walters of Harlan, Iowa, grain and feed merchant. He replaces ex-Congressman Me Keough, who recently resigned to become midwest political leader for the CIO.
 Walters, former Des Moines OPA district director, doubtless has many excellent qualifications. However, the manner of his appointment was peculiar OPA regional admins trators are supposed to be taken from the top of civil service list. There were fifty-six names on the

 Benefic aspects rule today. It IS promising date for the signing o1 contracts and for seeking coveted positions.
 HEART AND HOME While this oonfiguration prevails women may suffer from forebodings and bor- rowed troubles. Positive hold upon constructive ideas is imperative. Girls may be inconstant in love.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Transpor- tation difficulties will be frightened bv the resourcefulness of railway and airline executives. The stars presage an abnormal desire to travel but vacation tours will not be possible until the end of the war
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Salutary entertainment for wounded veter- ans will inspire new interest m good music. There will be wide OC1ndIQ LOT tilt ilcdiliiS HiiuSiiS> of great harmonies.
 INTERNATIONAL A F FAIR R $ Bitter fighting is foretold for the remainder of this month. Remark able developments in international relationships may result in an ex- tension of hostilities.

list, of which seven men at the top were considered qualified. Walters name was well down the list, among the forty-nine considered unquali- fled because of lack of experience.
 Among those at the top were Alex Elson, OPA regional attorney and acting administrator for the Chi cago region; Frank Marsh, who re- gently resigned as deputy admin istrator for field operations, Mi chael F. Mulcahy, Chicago OPA dis trict director and the choice of Mayor Kelly. In the past, Chicago has picked the regional admins trator because there are 5,000,O0O people in the Chicago area and only 100000 in the remainder of the region.
 However, in this case, someone reached down, took Walters name from low on the civil service list and put it among the three top men, Tip-off on how this was done may be the fact that Walters is the buddy of Jake More, Demo- cratic chairman for Iowa They grew up together in the same town. Also, it is significant that Senator Gillette, not OPA administrator Chester Bowles, announced Wal ters appointment.
 NOTE = Morale in the Chicago office was shot as a result of Wal ters' appointment. However, he has been getting to work at 7:3O a. m and seems to be making things move.
