U. ;. SEIZURE OF
 LEGION PROPERTY
 I5 INVESTIGATED

The tempest raging in Anchorage over the recent seizure of American Legion and USO property by the Government has calmed somewhat with the return to Washington of Harrison Kincaid, Federal Real Es- tate Director, who instituted the proceedings.
 Kincaid was ordered back to the Capital City and upon the request of Legionnaires and Anchorage citi- zens, an investigation of the entire matter was opened by the Public Works Administration.
 Lew Williams, Secretary of Alaska and Acting Governor, today notified Gov Gruening in Washington of the matter, asking him to contact Secretary of War Henry Stimson for a reversal of the action.
 The seizure of the USO building, which is owned by the Jack Henry Post of the American Legion, was based upon the fact that "the Presi- dent of the United States has found that in and around Anchorage there exists an acute shortage of public works, necessary to the health, safe ty and welfare of persons engaged in national defense activities"
 The suit also declared that the Secretary of War has determined that in his opinion it is necessary and advantageous to acquire for the United States by condemnation" the USO property to provide the needed recreational facilities
 When the Anchorage United Serv- ice Organization was firse formed, it had no building nor ground upon which to erect the needed structure. The Legion post then offered the use of lot at Fifth Avenue and G Street with the stipulation that the recreational center to be built would become the property of the Legion when no longer needed by the USO.
 It is now believed that the court action will prevent the Jack Henry Post from securing the building, which is valued at $35,000, at the end of the war
 Waino Hendrickson, Alaska De- partment Commander of the Ameri- can Legion, said today that he has hopes for a reversal of the action upon the close of the investigation now underway.

Who Is Winning il Among Western
 Army Football Teams!

DENVER, Nov. 27--With stars of both sides nursing injuries and on the benches, the Second Air Force fought to bruising, wintry, score less stalemate, leaving the Western Army football championship a moot question.
 The Second Air Force pushed three times into the Fourth's back yard and the Fourth made one threat that ended in an uncessful field goal attempt.

Some Oxygen

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 20 CUP1
First definite proof that atmos-
phere exists on any satellite in the
solar system was received by Har-
ward observatory Thursday from
DR.. Gerard F. Kuiper of Mcdonald
observatory at Fort Davis, Tex.
The discovery Of probable at
mospherc on Titan, a satellite of
the planet Saturn, was made by an
unidentified astronomer about 4
quarter of century ago. However,
it remained for DR.. Kuiper to con-
firm this finding and to establish
the atmosphere's compositions.
Through analysis of red and
infra-rcd spCctrogram5 of Titan,
Dr.. Kuiper found that the satel-

litc's atmosphere was composed
mainly Of methane and ammonia
Methane is odorless and inflam-
mable gas, normally product of
decomposition, of organic matter in
marshes and mines.
1t was explained that Titan re-
tains the atmosphere because of
stronger gravitational pull and the
heavy composition of gases.
Life, as it exists on earth, could
not be sustained on Titan, it was
said, both because of the poisonous
gases and because of the tempera-
ture-250 degrees below zero.
