hard as most of us believe we should to get the war over quick, so we can have our boys back home to their beloved good old U s. A.
 I'll have to finish up my letter to the kid with a little bit of good cheer, so I'll give him my personal conviction that because of the inc creased number of families being affected by the ever increasing draft call, the desire for a get together is growing in intensity and numerical strength, so that we must find way. I'll pass along to him my opinion that neither the managing group nor the work CTS alone can handle this job. The writing Is on Che wall. and we might as well face it. Maybe the kid will understand the need for delayed delivery of Subs. but at the time of writing I'll be damned if I do.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. Re-
turned from "a day, 1000 mile
aviation investigation trip, Repre-
sentative Alfred l.. Bulwinkle, of
North Carolina, said that Alaska
needs transportation facilities for
future development that has great
possibilities" and that this posses

of international aviation commerce
of the future with Siberia and the

Bulwinkle is the Chairman OF

with seven other congressman, made
four Alaska stops, eight in the con-
tinental United States and one in
Canada. He told reporters that #

kept up.

MOSCOW, Aug. 81. The Red
Army is believed to have entered
Bucharest after capturing the
Ploesti oil fields and preempting,
perhaps, over one-third of the Ger
man petroleum supply.
At midnight the Russians were
II miles from the city of $4,000,
after an advance of nearly 40 miles
during the day through the capitu-
lated Balkan kingdom.
The newspaper Izvestia reported
from Ploesti that the abrupt Red
Army drive prevented the destruc-
ton of the Ploesti fields, but added
that serious damage had been done.
Rumanian oil workers helped the
Russians put out tremendous fires,
and civilians directed Soviet troops
to large group of Germans dress
ed in civilian clothes who were
applying the torch to the right and
left.
One army of Gen. Malinovsky's
big command turned directly north
through the pass leading to Brasov
on the trunk railroad line from
Bucharest to Budapest and Vienna.
Large groups of Germans and Hun
garians are known to be massed in
Hungary-held Pennsylvania in the
path of this force.

The Washington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
ut. Col Robert s. Allen now on active
service with the ARMY

WASHINGTON-I has now been
exactly one year since Prime Min
lister Churchill and President Roose-
velt met in Quebec and announced
what was considered one of the
major campaigns of the entire war
the drive to retake Burma and
penetrate through China to japan.
During that year absolutely no
progress has been made. This fact,
coupled with the fact that other
drives against Japan (under U. S.
command) are far ahead OF sched-
ule, has caused high officials to
review Far Eastern strategy.
1t was expected that the cam
paign under Lord Louis Mount
batten based on India would be
synchronized SO that it would gain
certain detectives while the Ameri-
can drive in the Pacific made equal
progress. They were to go hand in
hand, converging on Japan at
ABOUT IIle same IliIle.
However, one Allied blow is now
going to hit Japan early and the
other blow is late-so late it may
never hit at all.
u. S. experts who have studied
the Far Eastern situation make no
secret of the fact that conditions
in India are one of the big factors
holding up the Burma campaign
In this connection, they have had
occasion to study hitherto-un-
published letter which Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek wrote to
President Roosevelt regarding India
The letter was handed to Sum-
ner Welles, the Under Secretary of

IN
PROTEST OF
RESERVATION
Letter 10 ICkes Attacks Alb
original Rights
Theory

The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce voted unanimously today to
protest to Secretary of the Interior
Harold l.. Ickes against the estab-
lishment of fishing reservations bas-
ed on aboriginal claims of natives.
The seven-page protest will be
presented at hearings scheduled for
next month on three petitions claim
ing lands and waters in Southeast
Alaska
The Chamber argues that the ma
tives never have had such rights as
now asserted for them by the In
terror Department; that if such
rights are recognized the department
has no right to enforce conserva-
ton regulations in such areas and
the natives would be able to destroy
the fish supply by barricading
streams as their ancestors did; that
patented lands would not be safe
from reservation and neither are
mining sites, townsites, lumber sites
or the national forests or any lands
in Alaska safe;
Hits Revenue
That if the Indians are given such
reservations and operate canneries
the Territory would receive no taxes,
as is the case of the Metiakatla
cannery, and the Territory's reve-
.nues would be curtailed for many
years;
That it was not the intent of
Congress in. extending the mineral
laws, homestead laws, fishing laws,
game laws and creating vast ma
tional forests in Alaska that these
would now be held void because of
the theory of aboriginal rights.
H. L. Faulkner drew up the pro-
test at the request of the Chamber
and a vote.of thanks was given him
for the work. Faulkner spoke, ex-
planning the situation as he saw it.
j. A. Hellenthal, well-known attor-
ney, also spoke on the subject. He
said that the Interior Department
will set up the reservations regard
less of protest and that perhaps the
Chamber should pass a resolution
asking Secretary Ickes to establish
a white mans reservation in Alaska
where a white man could make a
living without government interior
ence. Hellenthal said that the pur-
pose of the scheme is to keep AL
askan products from the field of
competition in the United States
proper, that in this case it was to
spike any development of timber
tracts in Southeast Alaska. He also
pointed out how the coal lands of
Alaska have been placed in reserve
along with the oil lands.
First Bureaucrat
Hellenthal said, 81 was here when
the first bureaucrat came to Al
aska" and they are not to blame but
rather the policy of the Federal adj
ministration which makes the bu-
reaus necessary.
Guests included w. G. Arnold,
Ketchikan attorney; E. B. Kluck-
holm, Vice President, Seattle First
National Bank; the Rev. M. l..
Miles of Fairbanks, and Harry
Townsend, mining engineer with
headquarters in Seattle.

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF
THE ALLIED ExPEDITIONARY
FORCES, Aug. 31.--British tanks
have captured Amiens and smash
ed across the Somme River in
lightning 60-mile drive in 40 hours
and found the Germans in full
flight back to the Reich before four
onrushing Allied armies.
The British raced the American
columns, which overran Laon, and
stabbed on north more than two
miles and are within 80 miles of
the Belgium border. The advance
with such bewildering speed over
whelmed three trainloads Of Ger
man soldiers trying to escape.
The British advance was prac-
tically uncontested along the 150-
mile arc at Somme and approaching
the Mouse River, indicating the
Germans have given up the last pre-
tense Of rearguard stand in the
open in the flight through Belgium
and back to their imperiled home
land.
The Somme has been considered
as a natural barrier along which
the enemy might try some sort of
a stand but the capture of Amiens,
which straddles the river, blasted
this possibility.
With the Canadians hopping up
the big river port of Rouen, IS
miles inland from Dieppe, and the
British rs miles inland from Able
Vile, garrisons of the German robot
coast forces bottled, the remainder
of the German forces are deemed
to mo rest period anywhere.
One American force heading for
the German frontier captured st.
Dizier, 10 miles of fallen vitry and
pressed on to within 40 miles OF
the reversed Maginot Line in the
Saar Valley. border of Germany. In
1910 the Germans won the battle for
France by skirting the Maginot Line.
