MINISTERS PROTEST
 NEW LIQUOR HOURS

The Ministerial Association of Juneau has sent to the City Coun- cil the following letter protesting the extension of business hours for the sale of liquor:
 Tn recognizing the fact that the ideal is always difficult, the Min isterial Association of Juneau recognizes that the City Council is seldom faced with an all good or an all bad decision.
 Yet, in the case of the recent extension of the business hours of the liquor stores and taverns, the Association does hereby protest that action as being decision fos- tering more harm than good.
 "The Ministerial Association does not attempt to legislate goodness, but it does strive to lead the way This protest is both a voice of our conscience, and an expression of the concerted feeling of our various churches"
 The letter is signed by Bob Treat of the Ministerial Association.

Rain and Deep Mud Slow. ing Down Advance of
 British, Americans

ROME, Oct. 11-American troops, still slowed by rain and deep mud, reached the southern outskirts of Livergnano, II miles due south of the Bologna highway. Sixty five advance elements here are meeting fierce German counterattacks.
 The pace of the fighting along the entire Italian front is gen. erally reported retarded by adverse weather. After days of bloody fighting, British troops and the Fifth Army shot the Germans off Mont Cece and took possession of the little knob of ground.
 The Eighth Army appeared to be making some progress in the hills of the Adriatic front despite almost constant rain. British and Indian troops reached the summit of a new ridge, extending from Monti- gallo to Mount Farneto and north west to San Marine, where they found three Germans in the few houses. They were attempting to hold the villages of Roncofreddo and San Paolo.

NICKEL DEPOSITS
 AT FUNTER BAY
 BEING EXPLORED

To do exploratory work on nickel claims near the geld mine of the Alaska Admiralty Gold Mining Company at Funter Bay, the U. s. Bureau of Mines has sent out a crew of five men. Joel H. Moss is en- gineer in charge.
 A large deposit of nickel has been found and the prsent crew is col lecting assay samples. If the samples continue to be as rich as those all ready assayed, underground ex- ploratory work will be started this winter. The present crew will stay out all winter if tunnel work is begun and miners will be hired and sent out, the Bureau of Mines office announces.
 The exploratory work is being done under the bureaus Strategic Metals Program, nickel being one of the metals almost entirely absent from the continental United States. At present Canada produces most of the nickel in the world.
 The Funter Bay deposits were found in the early POS on the prop erty owned by the Alaska Admiralty Gold Mining Company, company headed by Henry Roden and w. s. Pekovich, while work was being done on the gold claims.
 Nickel deposits have also been found on Yakobi Island farther to the west, but, according to the Bureau of Mines, the Funter Bay claims, if they prove out, will be a better place for mine as it is more centrally located and there is a mill built there already, that could take care of the nickel ore and the gold at the same time

BLAME5 JOSS OF

 PRES. ROOSEVELT
Brieker Says If Was Up to Chief Executive 10 Have
 Island Fortified

BREMERTON, Wash, Oct. H. Gov. John w Bricker advocated that America maintain a strong system of outlying military bases after the war. He blamed Presi- dent Roosevelt for the failure to fortify Guam.
 Bricker set forth what he des- cribed as his party's position in an address prepared for delivery to the great shipyards in the vicinity of Bremerton, where on August F he said, the President said We were not allowed to fortify Guam nor did we fortify Wake or Mid way or Samoa
 Bricker, referring to the valiant five-month stand of American sol diers on Corregidor, said If ever there was an argument for reten- tion, after this war, of strong system of outlying military bases within the sphere of American re- sponsibility for world security, Cor regidor is that argument"
 As for Guam, Bricker said, avail able evidence warranted fortifica- ton but it was not in the Presi- dents program.
 He was afraid of offending Japan. It is for the same reason that he kept providing Japan with oil and scrap iron. He didn't ask Congress to fortify Guam. The re- sponsibility rests sQuarely on the President!"

MOSCOW, Oct. II = Russ a n troops have fought to within seven miles to Memel and Is of the East Prussian rail center of Tilsit after slashing to the Baltic Sea above Memel, cutting land routes for up to 150,000 Germans still in Latvia and Lithuania. Yet another death trap is being fashioned in the Soviet drive southeast of Memel.
 Hitler annexed East Prussia in early 1889 from Lithuania
 Advancing along the last 50 miles separating them from the sea south of Memel, the Russians swept along the Niemen River in a lightning move which appeared likely to cut off from three to five enemy divi- sions between Taurage and Kiri- sches Half.
 At Riga, advance armored units were reported to be probing the city's outer defenses with repeated strikes.
 Meanwhile, on the Yugoslavian- Hungarian front, one Soviet column is reported to be fighting on the outskirts of the Hungarian city of Debrecen, communications hub con- trolling international routes to Czechoslovakia, Poland and Ru- mania.
 There are no new reports of the offensive aimed at Budapest.

By DREW PEARSON Gt Col. Robert 6. Allen now on active service with the Armyo

WASHINGTON - South Dakota s Representative Karl Mundt and South Carolina's James Richards, returned last week from five week stay in England and France, praising the horizontal organiza- tion of the American Army.
 The Supreme Commander, Gen. eral Eisenhower, they reported, is Ike" to everyone, is available to hear the problems of his subor- dinates, is at all times considerate of his staff and the men under him.
 Although every member of the Army has feeling of personal participation and responsibility, the Congressmen say, there is no ques- tion about authority. Eisenhower runs the show. but he runs it in such way that everyone likes him for it.
 Characteristic of Eisenhower is the address he made at recent dinner party in London.
 My hat is off to the boys fol- lowing through on the beaches and at Cherbourg," he said. T mean the ordinary CT who's working 1( hours a day on the most sweaty unromantic job in the war-nc glamor, no adventure, just long hard days of long, hard labor al soldiers pay" He referred to the service battalions which have re- fitted the harbors and piers along the Channel Coast in order te facilitate shipment of supplies.
