LOST TRIO IS RESCUED FROM MI. JUNEAU
Nazi Peace FeeIers Gel Gold Turn Down
 From Allied Nations
By HERMAN K. ALLEN


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 Nazi propagandists have been throwing out suggestions that the war be halted now ito save useless blood she'd" In return for doing the AL lies the flavor" of ceasing hostili- ties the Germans suggest that certain concessions be made to them. !
 The reaction in Allied official circles to all suggestions of ne- gotiated peace has always been the same-nothing short of uncondi- tional surrender will be satisfac- tory.
 What does unconditional surren- der mean? It means exactly what it says: That Germany must lay down her arms and accept what ever the Allies choose to give her There may be no ifs, ands, or buts no well surrender if you'll let us keep part of Czechoslovakia" or comparable deals.
 It is interesting to recall the circumstances of Germany's col lapse in 1918 and the maneuvers she went through trying to pre- pare a soft spot to light on. It is not unlikely we will see some more of the same this time.
 Wilson's IA Points
 It is true that technically the first World War did not end with Germany's unconditional surrender The armistice was negotiated with the understanding that peace should be settled on the basis of Wilson's IA points, but these were our conditions-not Germany's.
 Andre Tardieu, the French jour nalist and statesman, wrote; "Tht armistice marked the equalization of the enemy, a equalization which was an unconditional surrender"
 The enemy began angling for peace as early as December 12 1916. Wilson himself suggested a peace program two days later before this country was in the war. There were other proposals from both sides, throughout 1917
 Then, on January 8, 1918, Will son made his famous IA points speech. In it he outlined what he regarded as the Allied war aims. The points included some general ones, such as freedom of the seas and abolition of secret diplomacy; and some specific ones, like Ger man evacuation of occupied terri tories and the formation of a League of Nations.
 The next several months Ger many and Austria Hungary quib- bled with Wilson (through neu- tral negotiators) over interpreta- tion of some of the points.
 Firm On Surrender
 Wilson stood firm, although he himself was having some trouble selling the IA points to the other Allies.
 Finally Wilson notified the Ger mans on October 23 that if the United States must deal with the military masters of Germany it must demand, not peace negotia- tions, but surrender"
 On October 27 the German for eign minister was able to advise

LONDON, Oct. 3-A m eri n troops, supported by tanks and ar tillery, struck deeper into the Sieg- fried Line, eight miles north of Aachen in a heavy battle fought in close quarters for two towns in- side Germany.
 Berlin said the First Army cut a wedge II miles wide and nine miles deep into German de- lenses, and a front dispatch said that house to house fighting had developed in Own and Ubach, two miles from the Dutch border. The Germans have been ordered to hold or be shot.
 Doughboys won the moated castle fortress at Rimberg, just in side the Reich, and blazed away at Nazis across the courtyard. Head quarters itself gave no details. The second day gains of the assault, which was carried across the Wurm River knocked out chunk from three to five miles from the West Wall
 One Front report said that the First Army hit two miles deep along a six mile sector opposite Groenstraat, Holland. The Monday assault caught the enemy by sur prise and struck through the heavy crust of the Siegfried defenses to run back as deep as nine miles.
 Berlin declared, So far the Allies nowhere have pierced really deep into Germany"
 Far to the south in France, the U. s. Third Army infantry as- saulted Fort Driant, key to the Metz fortress on the west bank of the Moselle. After an all night barrage the attack opened at 10 a. m. A good start was reported by Headquarters. Fort Driant is the most heavily fortified bastion be- tween the Americans and Metz. It was attacked last week by dough- boys who reached the bridge across it's moat, but were driven back. Planes bombed other forts in the Metz chain.

FIRST SEARCH PARTY

oLhAkSAh AAAN
 At 5:30 o'clock yesterday after noon the first volunteer search party composed of Deputy U. s. Marshal Walter Hellan, John Homme of the City Police and George Folta, start ed out, choosing the precarious Mount Juneau trail to begin their search.
 About 8.30 o'clock last night the three men stumbled upon Mrs. Schneider on the other side of Gold Creek on the Mt Juneau side, about 250 yards from the main creek. She was lying on bed of boulders, in a semi conscious condition, with her clothes almost completely torn off from her wanderings through the underbrush.
 Hellan and Homme returned to Juneau for a stretcher and blankets while MT. Folta remained with the woman, feeding her about pint of hot soup which he had in thermos. He partially disrobed, giving her his trousers, shirt, coat, and heavy wool sox.
 While Folta was giving aid to Mrs Schneider, Otto Smithberg and a companion, also attempting search came upon them and assisted with the rescue.
 Last night at midnight, Waino Hendrickson, Ellis Reynolds, George Folta, Harold Foss and Joe Sadler also hiked up the slope of Mt Juneau.
 Climbing along the cliffs near the first bridge they fired guns to att tract attention.
 This morning at 6 o'clock the Army and Coast Guard sent rescuers up the mountain, following Mrs. Schnoeker's directions as far as possible. Capt. "Tex" Day of the Sub-port had his men form a human chain up the mountain Capt. c. A. Allard, the Army Doctor, went along to give medical aid when they found MT. Schneider and his three year-old son. The Coast Guard sent along several medics with first-aid kits.
 The baby was brought down at 10 o'clock this morning and immediate ly rushed to the hospital in waiting

Cash Room" DoIes 0ui Hundreds of Thousands
 Of Dollars for Checks
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3-Over in the Treasury Department they just call it the cash room" but it should have better name than that.
 It's the place where thousands of Washington government workers, allotment and pension receivers go to get their checks cashed. More cheeks are cashed there every month than in any bank in the world
 In wartime Washington, there are days when it looks like a madhouse, but it never is. Seven tellers, the fastest money handlers operating today, see that it isn't. On the bigger paydays Uncle Sam used to pay on the first and fifteenth, but now has staggered paydays to level off the rush to some extenD a teller will handle between 500 and 700 checks Under real pressure, the best of the tel lers can cash three checks a minute.
 Tellers, on big days, will pay out as much as $lOo,OO0 apiece.
 The Treasury cash room is unique in several other ways. For example, they never pay out any, thing but brand new money and there's no danger of running out, because MT. Morgenthau has $70,- 000,000 of it on hand all the time in his lts-incidentally the only money that the U. s. Treasury in Washington has. Those billions are all bookkeeping and distributions from the hints and Bureau of Engraving.
 Another feature of the cash room is the change windows where the larger bills can be changed into smaller or even jingling money. A favorite with some of the Negro government workers, according to

MT. and Mrs. Schneider and little son of Chicago arrived in Juneau last Tuesday aboard the Tongass, he to join the staff of the Public Roads Administration. They registered at the Hotel Ju- neau for several days and then secured accommodations in one of the Knudsen houses on Will loughby Avenue.
 Last Sunday forenoon, it being bright and clear, the Schnoekers decided to take a hike and that hike was in an attempt to ex- plore Mount Juneau's slopes.
 The story of the adventure is best told in Mrs. Schnoeker's own way, given in St. Ann's Hos- pital this morning and appearing later in this article.
 When the trio failed to re- turn Sunday night and no word yesterday morning from the missing, inquiry was made but indefinite tips were too vague to organize searching parties. It was reported to the police and U. s. Marshal's office the trio had been seen hiking toward Thane. Another report had them going up Mount Roberts trail and another that they were seen going out the highway toward Salmon Creek.
 Yesterday afternoon, Fish and WildIife plane secuted along the mountainside but discovered nothing.

Rathbun

LOCAL IL ELECTION

Election of Local II officers
will take place Feb. 25 and rs at
Local IL Headquarters, AIS Win
throp St., Parlor "A'.
Every member of our Unit
should cast his vote. To be eligible
to vote you must present your
dues card. This election is i'm
portant to the members of our Unit
because Heine Sieve our Unit
chairman is a candidate for office.
Heine was asked to have his pic
ture in the paper the other day,
but it isn't his face that counts
with as who know, so much as
what's on the inside, and Heine
has got what it takes inside him.
So boys, do your stuff and lets see
to it that Heine stays on the Local
! II board where he has served the
interests of the whole Local and
given our shop prestige.
The welfare committee appoint
ed for the current year consists of
Lloyd Harmon, Clifford Shaffer
and Robert McVicker.
When they were removing an
armature from the top of the
crane in the ship the other day,
the electrician called down to Wal
ter Thomas to go fetch couple of
sky hooks to lower the thing to the
ground. Walter yelled back, "just
a minute, | know exactly where
they keep 'em." He went out be-
hind the foundry, and for all we
know is still looking for the things.
Maybe somebody ought to tell him.
ANNUAL PICNIC
Although winter is upon us, the
shop and welfare committees are
already making plans for the an
nual Rathbun-Jones picnic. Brrr!
1t makes me cold to even think
about such things right now.
Nevertheless, and well in advance
of warm weather, we want to state
that helping hand from the COM
pany, the same as last year will
be appreciated.
INDUCTIONS
Uncle Sam continues to take our
workers into the armed forces.
Among those who have received
notices of induction are DreXal
O'Neil, Ernie Langbrake, Andrew
Jarczynski and Charles Cook go
ing to the Navy. Cook has had
nine years experiences before in
the armed services, six with the
Navy and three in the Army. He
should know his way around.
Each member of the armed
forces receives $500 from the fund
established by the workers in our
shop when he leaves for service.
1t isn't much; but it is a gesture
of good will toward the boys and
they appreciate it.

Mather
BY Kaiser Sinfelt

Wonder how / can acquire the
concession in Mather for the punch
boards with awards from bonds,
booze, double or nothing for
lunches, and bets on bowling
matches? What a profitable con-
cession that would be. Quick, some
one, tell me how.
George Haussman says FDR is
one of the greatest politicians the
world has ever known. Baloney! A
lot of our shop members amt such
pikers.
Speaking of politicians reminds
me to remind you that Mather cleo
tion is Feb. 81. Some very good
union minded brothers are seeking
your vote. Come out aPd vote. Vote
for YOUR choice. Pick fellows who
have shown leadership and have
proven ability. Let's have new
day at Mather Elect the best with
out regard for friendship, nation
ality, religion or anything else eX-
cept ability to do good job for US.
We promise never to write an
other thing about Louie. The last
report, for which we are 10000
soddy, hurt his feelings and we're
sorry.
By the way Walter Dugan, when
is the big event? We see you pur-
chased the diamond ring (don't
forget to keep up the payments).
No doubt we boys in the shop will
smoke cigars on the lucky bride
groom. Too bad to see a fellow
your age weaken; but then, we re-
member-this is leap year.
John Johnston, who is equally as
good with a plow as a spreader,
can top Bucks stories. No wonder
Buck is green with envy.
Jim Foltz wants to thank all the
members of the unit as well as
Frank Kowalski for their kindness
to him during the illness of his
mother. He appreciates the dona-
tions of blood which helped his
mother. She is now improving and
will soon be home again. Jim says
he cannot express the gratitude he
feels from the bottom of his heart.
Don't think | have overlooked
any of you boys at Mather and
your doings. But there is always
another time. There are lots of
weeks ahead of the Union Journal,
so watch for yours.
Again-just to remind you-get
out and vote in your Unit election.

Hollywood's Free World Assn,
Dudley Nichols in the chair.
Wallace Delighted
Wallace was there and said he
understood some people not pres
ent feared this was a Communist
organization. He said he was de-
lighted with his contacts, however,
and had the impression the sole
purpose of members was to 'serve
the general welfare and help to
bring on the day of the parliament
of man."
"You go to the movies and real
ize that's where the forgotten man
is" Wallace said. "We must have
democracy first in this country
and in the whole world. In that
the movies have an extraordinary
part to play"
He told about magazine writer
who had been sent to expose Holly
wood as a nest of Communists and
New Deal devotees. When she
reported to her publisher that
Hollywood was normal place, in
cluding Republicans and conserva-
tives, her article was cancelled.
(Sen. Joseph Guffey of Penn
sylvania told the senate this story
in refuting the Readers Digest
smear on Latin American policy,
and named the publisher as De-
Witt Wallace of RD.)
