Night Club Purchased

In one of the largest property transactions of recent years the E:lub Montmartre, located on Mill Bay road, was purchased kbis week by James Pierce from Roy F. Snyder, owner of the Mecca Bar.
 Inventory was completed Wednesday and the new owner took over operation of Kodiak's largest night club the same eve ming. The club has been operat- ed by MT and Mrs. Frank kempton, under a lease with an option to buy which option was relinquished by them, and they will devote their efforts to the interest of their new Idle Hour Bar, formerly the Log Waffle Shop.
 MT. Pierce said he would op- crate the Montmartre with Tim Gilmore as manager, and will also continue operation of the Ships Tavern, which he leased recently from William A. Schultz.
 The club, 8 two-story modern structure with bar, dance floor, private dining rooms and llving quarters, was opened in Feb ruary, 1942. MT. Snyder was the original builder and the cost of the structure at the time of its completion was reported as over 33O, 900.
 The purchase by MT. Pierce included liquor stocks, and the total price was reported reli- ably to be in the neighborhood of $45,0OO.

Grey Nuns Awarded Hospital confroct; GM Boord Objects To Terms Of Tronsfer

Alter a further weeks negoti- ations the hospital situation still lacked complete accord in effect ing transfer of the institution, although the Territorial offices have signed a tentative lease with the Grey Nuns of Phila- delphia and word has been re- ceived that the Nuns expect to be in Kodiak Sunday.
 The alternate proposal for transfer (for complete text see page p provided that the trus- tees wire their recommendation to Juneau, that the office of Commissioner of Health and the Governors office would make a decision, and a majority of the three decisions would decide the final action in granting a con- tract now, subject to con6rma- tion by the Legislature next Spring.
 Following receipt of the alter nate proposal another wire was received by the trustees asking if the contract with the Catholic organization met with approval. In return the local board wired as follows:
 "We prefer awaiting action by Legislature but will abide by your decision. Object to last two lines of Clause 2 and last 6 lines of Clause 3 of lease. This feature discussed with Major Lind quist."
 Next the trustees received their answer to the above from Lew Williams, acting governor, as follows:

Plan tor Big 3
Farley Snagged
by Winter War
Roosevelt Unlikely
To See Churchill
And Stain Until AS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Plans for an early meeting of
President Roosevelt, Prime Min
lister Churchill and Premier
Stain appear to have hit a snag.
Despite hopes freely expressed
here and in London, the best
prospect now is for parley early
in 1945.
The whole schedule of postwar
conferences and world peace organ
ization evidently is having to be
revised in consequence. 1t may have
to be moved two or three months
into the future, which probably
would mean United Nations
gathering on the Dumbarton Oaks
security plan next spring rather
than in the winter.
However, the whole schedule is in
a state of uncertainty. Should 1t
be found that the problems left over
from Dumbarton Oaks-such as the
veto" voting issue-can be settled
without a big-three meeting. the full
dress conference could be held
earlier.
Winter War Is Factor.
| Exactly what has happened to
| the projected big-three meeting be-
fore the end of this year is not
certain. But presumably the way
in which the European war is hav-
ing to be fought full scale into the
winter and the probability now that
! it wall last into next spring has
lad lot to do with it.
| All three leaders, as President
Roosevelt told reporters a few days
ago. wanted to have the conference.
And Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized his
desire for it by saying he thought
it took priority over his invitation to
visit Paris. Prime Minister Church.
i'll told Parliament it was high
time" the trio should get together
again.
From what they said it was clear
that Premier Stain had expressed
similar views, although he confined
his latest public statements to the
iiSSSSoitS lOI a1iSiO-SOfleJ cola
ton to make a lasting peace.
Stain Tied to Job.
But Premier Stain is tied to the
eastern front in a way that Mr..
Churchill and Mr.. Roosevelt are
not tied down in the west. In the
broadest sense of the word, he lit
eraly does command the Red Army.
With Germany bent on suicidal re-
sistance, the Red Army has finally
come up to the time for another
(. winter offensive.
Officials here say that at such a
time it is highly unlikely that Pre-
mier Stain would leave Russia. 1t
seems equally unlikely, despite re-
cent speculation there, that Mr..
Roosevelt would agree to make the
long and arduous journey to Mos
COW, especially when the niceties of
! diplomacy and politics might be bet
ter served by selecting more CEN

Spurs Bond Drive
Parade of Stors'
Brings In $1,000, 900
To Open Campaign

Washington's Sixth War Loan
drive for $4,000, 900 got its sec
ond big push today when the
Bankers Division of the War
Finance Committee announced
the sale of $2,050,00O in bonds to
the International Harvester Co.
The first boost came last night
when 1000 Washingtonians paid out
s., 900 900 in bonds to see the Parade
of Stars" show at Constitution Hall,
which officially opened the drive.
The $2,o5O,O00 purchase made on
behalf of the Harvester Co., by Rob-

dent, from Thomas J. Groom, presi-
dent of the Commerce and Savings
Bank and chairman of the bankers
division, will be included in the
$48 200, 900 bond quota for corpora
tions. Most of the $3,000,000 in
bonds bought in return for tickets
to the show last night will be in
cluded in the $4,000, 900 quota to be
bought by individuals.
First REPORTS Tomorrow.
Today, on the first official day o1

Nelson Designated
AS Presidents 5 Aide
AT Cabinet Level
Personal Representative
Will Occupy Offices
Near White House

Donald M. Nelson has been
designated personal representa-
tive" of President Roosevelt, with
rank at the cabinet level, and
will occupy offices in the State
Department Building, across
from the White House.
The appointment was confirmed
by letter shortly before Mr.. Nelson
former WPB chairman, left this
country on his second mission to
Chungking to create a Chinese war
production board, it was ascertained
today.
The presidential letter notified
Mr.. Nelson he would sit in cabinet
meetings and also mentioned an
other trip in the Pacific on his re-
turn from China. This appeared tc
point to New Zealand or Australia.
Seen as Interim Device.
Beyond this, the note did not &c
much farther in formulating Mr.
| Nelson's status than the letter &C.
cepting Mr.. Nelson's resignation
from WPB. Mr.. Roosevelt ther
asked him to remain in the Govern.
ment for "a high post of major i'm
portance" in international economic
affairs.
For this reason some friends OF
Mr.. Nelson believe the new message
! to be an interim device emphasizing
Mr.. Nelson's role as direct economic
envoy between the President and
the heads of foreign governments
but probably to be followed up by q
more precise title and official status
| Office space for Mr.. Nelson has
been arranged in part of the State
Department Building where other
White House aides are quartered
Mr.. Nelson will have only small
staff, probably consisting only OF
| two or three assistants and secre-
tarial help.
Mr.. Nelson's personal effects. along
with the souvenirs of four years in
the production agency, have been
removed from his old Office in the
Social Security Building.
Aiding China's Industry.
Mr.. Nelson, whose arrival ir
Chungking with group of steel ant
alcohol experts was announced last
week, is expected to return as soor
as his task of reinvigorating China
tagging war production is vel
started. He will leave in charge
Howard Coonley, former WPB col
league and past president of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers.
The Presidents letter to Mr.. Mel
son, made public at the White
House today, follows:
Dear Donald.

Typhoon Slows Yanks
Battling for Limon,
In Western Leyte
Manila Blasted in Fourth
Raid of Month; AirfieIds,
Merchant Ships Damaged
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Philippines, Nov. 81.
The battle of Leyte was practi-
cally halted by bad weather to-
day while Manila recovered from
its fourth major American air
raid of the month.
On Leyte, typhoon took prece-
dence over efforts of both sides on
the swaying Limon battle line. Gen.
MacArthur's communique noted
that the 32d Division was making
some progress near Limon, reported
that the enemy was continuing des-
perate efforts to break road block
south of the town-and added, sig
nificantly. "all traffic. air, ground
and sea, is fraught with great diff
culties and hazards: and battle con-
ditions are becoming static"
Only in the air was there spec
tacular activity. There, 35 enemy
fighters and dive bombers raided
American positions, losing seven air.
craft to air patrols and ground fire.
American aircraft countered with
attacks on japanese communica-
tions lines, supply areas and water
front targets near Ormoc.
Manila Airfields Damaged.
Vice Admiral John S. McCain's
carrier planes hit Manila again Sat-
lurday, damaged airfields, set blazes
haring on three merchant ships and
destroyed lib Japanese planes. Most
/ of these were on the ground. Only
10 enemy planes were shot down in
the Manila area and another near
the fleet carriers
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz an
nounced the raids at Pearl Harbor
last night. The announcement made
no mention of damage to American
planes or ships (although Radio
Tokyo said nine American aircraft
were downedD, nor of additional
japanese shipping in the Manila
area. This was surprising, in view
|of the recent japanese attempts to
reinforce Leyte by sea.
Morrie Landsberg, Associated
Press war correspondent, reported
from Admiral McCain's flagship that
American pilots found "a ghost
fleet" of 100 war-crippled japanese
ships" in Manila harbor and few
targets worth attacking.
Counterattacking japanese planes
which escaped the antiaircraft bar
rage over the task force went home
without dropping their bombs, Mr.
Landsberg said. He listed eight
more enemy planes shot down than
Admiral Nirnitz reported and five
oil-laden luggers blown up off the
southern Luzon coast.

Action on D. T.. Vote
Board of Trude Position
Reed in Presenting
PIeu for Franchise

Senator Capper, Republican,
of Kansas today urged the Sem

action on the pending Summers
Capper resolution for a consti-
tutional amendment empowering
Congress to give District of Co
lumbia residents the right to
vote in presidential elections and
to have representatives in Con-

Senator Capper read the text of
the resolution adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Washington
Board of Trade on November 6, de-
claring it "a humiliating disgrace
that Washingtonians were deprived
of any voice in the November elec-
ton, and endorsing the Summers
Capper resolution.

Republic" Senator Capper also told
the Senate, las stated by Theodore

Appealing for the "Americaniza-
ton of the Washingtonian," Senator
Capper pointed out that District
residents now ARE required to pay
taxes, obey the laws of the Nation,
fight and bleed and die for their
country, but they cannot vote for
the Chief Executive and for the

He concluded his speech by
asserting that "the time has come
for Congress to approve and submit
