Working in cooperation with V. J. Samson, Area Cooordinator of Fisheries in Seattle, Samuel J. Hut chinson, District Supervisor of the halibut allocation program in Alas ka, arrived by plane over the week end and today announced halibut purchasing percentages which have been assigned to the Juneau dealers.

The percentage basis was worked out during conferences of representatives of the Fish and Wildlife Service and a committee of the industry.
 The following purchasing per- centages have been assigned for Juneau and became effective June 23:
 Booth Fisheries, 8 per cent; E. E. Engstrom. 29 per cent; Alaska Coast Fisheries, 42 per cent, and New Eng land Fish Company, 2l per cent.

Then And Now

In the old days, when autos were not housed
in warm garages cold nights and special
freeze-proof fluids were not poured into radla-
tors fairly good way to get the darned thing
started in the morning, having drained it at
night, was to fill it up with hot water, put your
foot ON the starter open the choke and be on
your way.
Now the Office of Defense Transportation
suggests other ways. ODT offers this pro-
cedure:
open the throttle about one quarter way
with the hand trottle and leave in this position
until engine is started.
Push the accelerator pedal to the floor two
Or three times, to prime the manifold with
some gas from the carburetor.
Push in the clutch pedal to the floor and
hald it there:
Pull out on the choke full distance
Turn on the ignition key and step on start.
er Push choke button in slightly after engine
has turned over once or twice.
After the engine is running. release the
Gluten peQal anu permit tlle engine W vain
up for three to five minutes without racing.
Push in the choke
Then we suggest, if there's still little day
light you may drive to the office for a spot of
work.
In the old days, it is worth noting, there
was plenty of gasoline for anyone who had
the price and the hot-water treatment involv.
ed no waste. Now that gasoline is precious,
the ODT method offers an excellent way OF
dissipating many precious drops of it.

Don't Expect Too Much

That two bombing raids by superfortresses
have been conducted against Tokyo within
four days and simultaneously with the second
another flight of the great air battleships
bombed Bangkok from a base i'll India could
easily be accepted as indicating Allied forces
in. the Pacific and Asiatic theaters of war
are at last ready for the final drive on
Japan.
Any such conclusion would be premature.
Rather, it would seem, the Allies, using all
TIE air power they have, are starting the
softening up process which preceded the open
ing of the second front in Europe. One objec-
tive apparently is to cripple Japan's war pro-
duction. as Germany's was crippled in ad-
vance of ground operations
Militarily, Japan is still long way off.
despite the fine progress of Macarthur and
Admiral Ninlitz.
In addition to the destructive results of
these superfort raids the most encourag ine
aspec: Of their activities is the fact that a
large enough number of them has been as
sembled at bases across the Pacific to strike
enemy targets repeatedly and simultaneously.
That ought to be solacing enough, for any
hopeful soul at the present stage of the Pa
cific war. To view their raids as the first step
IN ACTUAL conquest Of Japan proper would lay
the foundation for disappointment.

Surgery Could Do 1t

Runors that Adolph Hitler is dead are ram
nant. Mussolini is reported seriously i'll and
Eidekci TOTO has disappeared from the news.
It may cause rejoicing, these reports that
these Axis partners are dead, ill or missing
Are these reports true or do they accomplish
their purpose by adding fuel to the world S
wishful thinking?
The United Nations have vowed they will
nunish the Axis leaders and their satellites.
What better way to escape punishment than
by feinging death? Plastic surgery could alter
fine features of Hitler, Mussolini and TOTO to
an extent unacceptable by their closest as
sociates.
With money undoubtedly cached in foreign
countries by these three. escape into nearby
land. with an entirely new physiognomy, could
be an easy matter. Who would know if the
cringing German silently slipping across the
border of Germany was Adolph Hitler, or the
excitable Italian who sought sanctuary behind
Allied lines was Mussolini?
If the reports of death gain Axis confirma-
+ion they will be investigated thoroughly by
the allies we may be sure. The mere fact that
Adolph Hitlers grave is said to nestle in the
forest near Berechstgarden cannot be enough.
More positive proof will be needed if the
Allies are to punish the Axis warlords.

DULLES PREDICTS
new PEACE FARLEY

PITTSBURGH, Nov. %. -(P}-
John Foster Dulles Of New York
here to address the Federal Coun-
Gil of the churches of Christ in
America, said today at a press
conference he expects no peace
meeting like we had at Versailles
at the close of the last war.
II don't believe there's going
to be any peace conference. The
peace is going to be dealt with
in parts" he asserted. 1--WE have
already had the peace settlement
with Romania, and plans for a
world organization are under way.
It's going to be nothing like we
had at Versailles.
II believe that is the plan of
this administration" he added.
Asked whether he thought the
present plan superior to procedure
after World War I, Dulles re-
piled: 1t probably is, because the
problems at this time are even
more complicated and worldwide
than then, and because two world
wide wars are going on"
Of Edward R. Stettinius' appoint
ment to succeed former Secretary
of State Cordell Hull he said: "A

LAW TO BREAK
PETRILLO BAN
IS APPROVED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.- Up -
Legislation designed to break the
ban imposed by James c. Petrillo's
musicians union on the broadcast
ing of high school music was ap-
proved today by the Senate Inter-
state Commerce Committee.
Shortly after the bill was sent to
the Senate with a recommendation
for passage, its author, Senator
Vandenberg (R.-Mich.) said the
measure would take Mr.. Petrillo's
foot off the neck of the school chill
dren of the country"
The bill would make it unlawful
for any Individual or organization
to interfere with the broadcasting
OF any non commercial musical
program presented by an accredit-
ed school or college, if the radio
station derived no profit from the
broadcast.

Blindness In Argentina

In its white Book recently issued the
Inter American Committee for the Political
Defense of the Hemisphere charges the mill
tary dictatorship of Argentina with giving sup
port to those elements which totalitarian pow
could employ within this Hemisphere for
the furtherance of their ends 1t adds that
Argentina has prevented formation Of solid
front against Axis political aggression.
The book further declares that Nazs are con-
tinua,ly arriving in Argentina and names a
few of them who have been closely associated
with the Nazi party and army, and in state
naent by the Colombian president, who pro-
poses establishment of an international force
in the Western Hemisphere to curb aggression
and the growing arms race, it is said 'if
another war breaks out in the next twenty
years it is not improbable that Latin America
will see itself converted into the battle-ground
