Red Army Now in Control
Entire Southern Shore

MOSCOW, Feb. 2. = The Red
Army west of Leningrad is pressing
a strong campaign at Libudte, Es-
tonia, after Selling the border town
of Keikino, and has made swift
progress down the broad highway
and railroad which parallel each
ether between captured Kinisepp
and Narva.
The Russians now control the
entire southern shore of the Gulf
of Finland, giving the Baltic fleet
the opportunity to participate IL
the land campaign as they did in
lifting the seige of Leningrad.
Narva, on the west bank of the
Plissa River five miles inside Es-
tonia, would be one of the greatest
prizes of the offensive.

WASHINGTON, Feb. LACK of
an adequate tax structure in Alas
ka is reported to Secretary of In
terror Harold l.. Ickes by Ernest
Gruening, Governor of the Terri

Alaska has no tax system
worthy of the name,' the Governor
said. Its tax structure is patch

The Governor also said there was
no corporate or personal income
tax, no sales tax, no tax on gaso-
line and many corporations, part

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. - ITO a
great many Americans this has
been an exceedingly comfortable
wal said Secretary of the Inter
ior Harold L. Ickes, who proceeded
to lambast war profits.
Il can remember a few years
back when it was widely said that
If we ever had another war, there
would be no profits. Look at us
now. All that is missing is the
candy striped silk shirt" continued
Ickes.
Raps Fish Industry
The Secretary, addressing the
liahing industry representatives as
Coordination of Fisheries, bluntly
told the fishing leaders gathered
to discuss the years program that
he felH HE industry had not done
its best last year He recalled it
was told it must produce more than
six billion pounds of fish and shell
fish. and production was somewhat
less than four billion.
Ickes said this year many handi-
caps are removed, submarines drlv-
en- off, good many vessels being
returned by the Navy, and nearly
600 new fishing boats have been
built; and if the industry doesn't
up production substantially. 1T will
lack adequate excuse"
Ickes Makes Threat
1t would be impossible to tell, he
continued, whether the full author
ity of the Coordinator which has
been unused to date, would be in
voked, but promised not to take
drastic steps without fully consult
ing the industry
Ickes said the authority was used
extensively only in "the case of the
California sardine industry" which
is now Subject to the coordinated
pilchard production plan.
I'VE expect to make full sur
vey of the effectiveness of this plan
before continuing it the next sea-
son beginning in August the Sec

major Robert .. Allen ON active duty.)

WASHINGTON--I has now been
exactly one year and three months
since the American people watched
a cat-and-dog fight between the
French followers of General De
C,aulle and the followers of Vichy
in which the State Department
doggedly stuck by the Vichyites.
It was a bitter battle, not only
among the French, but with the
American press taking sides. and
with caustic criticism hurled at the
State Department for cooperating
with appeasers and abandoning the
four freedoms. Nevertheless Sec
rotary Hull stuck with Vichy.
In view of all this, it is matter
of considerable Importance tnat
General Eisenhower, supreme COM
mander for the invasion of Europe
has recently been back in the
United States with private con-
fession that the pro-Vichy policy
was all wrong.
General Eisenhower is now lO(
percent behind General De Gaulle
Furthermore, U. S. Ambassador Ec
Wilson, an able and shrewd OBJ
server, who has represented the
State Department in North Africa
is reported by friends to agree en-
phatically with General Eisenhower
They feel that De Gaulle represents
the Overwhelming majority OF the
people OF France.
Eisenhower. being a military man
not a politician, did not understand
French politics when he invaded
North Africa. However, as he nears
the time when he will invade West
ern Europe, he has to figure or
getting the support of the French
people. He knows that De Gaulle
is the man who can deliver that
support.
