WHITE BEAR

WHITE bEAh
 White Bear is the name of a man, a full-blood Quapaw Indian who is living now. His home is at Quapaw, Okla, where he is we'll and favorably known for miles farther than his neighbors can see the smoke from his te- pee. The word tepee is not lit- eral, of course, White Bear has comfortable home, children and grandchildren to brighten his declining years. He is past TO-.
 White Bears small income from oil royalties has shrunk lately to bare subsistence. He shared his wealth, when he had it, freely with people less for tunate than he, red men and others. Some grandparents live in the past, but not White Bear. He has remained interested in things, probably because of his youngest child, an only son. The boy was a true Quapaw brave, in fact, a paratrooper. ONCE TO EVERY MAN
 Finally to White Bears fire side came an ominous little vel low envelope telegram from the War Department. The son had liquidated his obligation to the country that was verify his own. The tragedy took place in training maneuvers near Des Moines, Ia. White Bear hesitated no minute after the news came. Promptly he drew his savings from the bank, all of them, and boarded a bus.
 At Des Moines a businesslike officer showed White Bear his sons pail. The proud father was ashamed. The casket seem- ed far too cheap for one so great and noble as an American para troooer, Quapaw full-blood.

SAYS NOME IS AS PICTURED

"I like Nome because it's like 1 thought Alaska should bel"
 Such were the words of Mrs. Ghyneth Perry, whose home is in Richmond, Calif., short time after her arrival in Nome from her post as assistant to the Post Engineer at Oakland, Calf.
 Nome isn't the Hell Town it's touted to be back in the States,m remarked Mrs. Perry. "If only the folks back home could see and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets we have here and view the antics of the famed Northern Lights, maybe there would be more of an exodus from the States to this locality"
 Mrs. Perry, clerk in the local payroll office of the Engineers, has a sister living in Oakland. Her mother and two sisters are at pres in Watsonville, Calif. Her young son is living at the home of a sis- in that city, also.
 And another thing" the come ly clerk stated emphatically:
 "I like the people of Nome, too they're swell"

 IN CONTROL

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD. QUARTERS IN NEW GUINEA Feb. 2.---tAP)-Disclosure that all lied control of the Dutch New Guineas south coast extends 15C miles beyond the Papuan border was contained in the headquarters report that Dutch and Australian soldiers smashed an attack oi barge-borne Japanese.
 The Japanese were defeated in the attack on the allied post al the mouth of the Eilanden river which is about 600 miles north west of Port Moresby.
 The Japanese barge-borne troops lost at least 60 of their number in attempting the deepest south ward penetration of Dutch New Guinea.
 The spokesman in General Mac arthur's headquarters said three barges, probably constituting a scouting party, was sighted in the early hours of the morning and attacked by ground forces. Later five more were attacked.
 The first three barges were sunk with all on board believed to be lost. The others were forced to retire.
 This marked the first time the Dutch have been reported in ac- ton with the Australians.
 Planes from Solomon Islands bases hit Japan's big Rabaul base in three attacks. A medium car go ship was sunk in the harbor, and fires were set there. They also destroyed two medium freighters.

GRANTED THE RIGHT TO
 FORM POLICIES

LONDON, Feb. 2.-(APl-The Soviet Union has given it's Is member republics the right to make their own foreign policy have. their own army formations. This is a significant move in the drafting of a new Europe after the war.
 The first reaction in London to the plan was that Premier Mar shal Stalin's proposal for a pro- gram decentraGzing the USSR, was strikingly similar to the ac- ton taken by the British Irnper- ial Council in 1928.
 There was a natural hesitancy to comment on the Soviet move without further study. but it was logical to assume the next step would be for the Soviet Republics to. request recognition from other countries. Once this was granted, each, presumably, would have a voice in the peacetime organiza- ton.
 Significant to appear in London was MolOtOV'S assertion, the change would serve further to in- crease the authority of our coun- try in the eyes of peoples to the east and west

PEARL HARBOR, Feb. D. tAP)-Bulwarked by more than two million tons of naval strength invading the Marshall Islands. which is the back-door route to the Japanese empire, the battle ragged for Kwajalein, the key posi- ton, and is of such importance that the conquest of the strategic Island, may in due time topple the Nipponese from the Pacific.

U. s. Troops Land On
 Island of Roi

PEARL HARBOR, Feb. 2.-tAP) United States troops landed in the Marshalls near Roi in KWa- jalein atoll and established beach heads.
 Admiral Nimitz reported today that the Japs were putting up strong opposition but the initial information indicates that Ameri- can casualties SO far have been moderate. r This is the first time an inva- sion has been attempted on any territory which the Japs held be fore Pearl Harbor.
 Our troops are fighting to take the island which the enemy has been preparing for a quarter of a century.
 Nimitz said the Fourth Marines Division, headed by Major Gen eral Harry Schmidt, landed in Roi Island area, and the seventh in fantry, commanded by Major Gen eral Charles Corlett, landed in the Kwajalein area.
 The plan presumably calls for securing the lightly defended is lands near Kwajalein and Roi and then blasting at those two strong points of the Kwajalein atoll, preparatory to capturing them.

TELLS OF TAX STRUCTURE

WASHINGTON, Feb. HAP, Lack of adequate tax structure in Alaska, was today reported to Interior Department Secretary Harold L. Ickes, by Governor Er- nest Gruening of Alaska. se.. The governor said Alaska has no tax system worthy of the name Its tax structure is a patchwork affair which gradually developed since the days when the territory was a district and a primitive un- developed wilderness"
 Gruening said there was no cor porate or personal income tax, no sales tax, no tax on gasoline, and he said many corporations and partnerships and individuals were enjoying substantial income with in the territory and pay no taxes whatever.
 American steamship companies, whose entire business is to and from Alaska and one outside port, pay not single cent of tax to the territory.
 According to the governor, some fifty million in gold leaves the territory each year without any tax whatever.

 AUTONOMY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-(AP)-
 MoscoW's announcement of plans for five of the 16 Soviet republics to be granted degree of autonomy, was regarded here as being part at least of the Rus sian territorial problems in inter- national significance.
 Five of the 16 countries, it is noted, covers a territory which was made part of Russia within the last few years, and as a re- suit of joint political and mili- tary action of various kinds pro- posed the reorganization.

 Today they are fully engaged in major assaults against the main stronghold at Kwajalein, Rois, and Namur Islands, pivotal bases in the Japanese held Marshalls.
 Resistance on the opening day was light or non-existent, and casualties were light Many JapS were slain and quite a number captured. x
 The enemy is now defending the three main islands against the greatest war fleet in history, including hundreds of planes of all kinds, plus record concen- tration of ' 1and-based artillery, continued to churn the palm hooded coral islands into flaming shreds of vomiting clouds and dust: and pillars Of smoke rising thousands of feet high, in the all out offensive to blast hole in Japan's pre-War stolen empire, consuming l4,495 tons of bombs and shells, enough to fill 238 freight, cars. ...A... ...'. .-.e 's.s''..
 The deadly three-day lombard ment from the air and sea, deci- mated the Japanese aerial strength. Not a single enemy plane was sighted during the at tack which was aimed at Kwaja- lein proper.

Dorothy Dix SAYS

One OF the curious contradictions
OF human nature is that, while we
are all egotists who spend our entire
lives thinking about ourselves, we
never really get to know ourselves
and what manner of men and wom-
en- we are. We remain strangers
without even bowling acquaintance
with the individuals under our
skins, and if we should meet our
selves coming down the street We
would probably say: Dear me, I
wonder who that sloppy woman is
and where she gets those do-funny
hats Or: Gosh, I'd hate to look
ike that pompOus brute who struts
around as if he owned the earth and
had a mortgage on Heaven. Thank
goodness, I'm not like that"
And, although our houses are
lined with mirrors anG every shop
window gives us a closeup of our
selves, we haven't even the slightest
idea of how We look. We can see
that our contemporaries have gotten
Old and -shouldered and bent
and broken, but We are complacent-
ly sure that We do not look our age
OF course, we admit in a general
way to having few faults, but no
