BETA SIGMA PHI HAS F0UNDERS'
 DAY CEREMONY
Bonnie Mozee Tells Sisters Engagement News
 on Sunday

Celebration of the Thirteenth Founders Day of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority was held by Delta Chapter of Juneau yesterday with pledging ceremonies for three new members, a formal banquet in the Iris Room of the Baranof Hotel, and the Ritual of Jewels ceremony for six charter members of the sorority on the program.
 Climaxing the banquet, Miss Bon nie Mozee ran around the table and presented her sisters with the tra- ditional box of chocolates, thus an- nouncing her impending marriage to Corporal Gustaf Arne Gellotte.
 To Wed Tuesday
 The couple will be married at II o'clock Tuesday morning in Holy Trinity Cathedral by Dean c. E.. Rice. Attendants will be Miss Patricia Olson and Sgt. Al Deise.
 Miss Mozee, daughter of Mrs. Marianne Milligan, is a graduate of the University of Washington and is employed as an accountant with the Office of Price Administration. Corp. Gellotte, son of MT. and Mrs. Gustaf Gellotte of Brooklyn, N. Y., attended Pratt Institute, School of Science and Technology in New York. He came to Juneau two years ago with the United States Army.
 Friends of the couple are invited to attend the ceremony.
 Pledge Three
 Hedging of three new sorority members, Irene Rasmussen, Irma Novel; and Louise Bean, took place at a ceremony in the penthouse apartment of MT. and Mrs. Wallis George preceding the banquet. The pledges were honor guest at the dinner.
 Following the pledging, new of ficers were installed by Mrs. Senna Powers, outgoing President. Taking their oaths of office were Mrs. L. M. Dunlap, President; Mrs. Fred erick Paul, Vice-President; and Miss Geraldine Ringstad, Corresponding Secretary Mrs. Willard Carnes, Recording Secretary, was unable to be installed as she is visiting in the South. Mrs. Henry B. Owen, Jr., who was elected Treasurer, is nov ing to Anchorage.
 Mrs. George, who is social sponsor for the group, and her daughter Maydelle, were also unable to be present, as they are vacationing outside.
 Mrs. Dunlap acted as toastmistress for the banquet at o'clock, intro ducing in clever rhyme the speeches of Mrs Earl McGinty, literary spon- sor, Mrs. William Carter, Mrs. Paul, and Miss Mozee.
 Yellow roses in black bowl formed the centerpiece of the ban- quet table and yellow candles were used to carry out the sorority colors of black and gold.
 Ritual IS Held
 After the banquet, Mrs. Joyce Williams and Mrs Dunlap admin istered the Ritual of Jewels degree to the six charter members who took their test recently. Taking full sorority memberships were Mrs Mo Ginty, Mrs Powers, Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Carter, Miss Ringstad and Miss MoZee.
 Miss Beulah Spongberg, who was to have assisted at the Ritual of Jewels ceremony, was called South yesterday because of the illness of her mother Other members who are outside and unable to be present are Ellen Strand and Cheda Paul.

THESE DAYS
BY GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY-

knew him-ha had never been
in Congress or held a job IN a
bureau. Nor has he devoted
himself to press agentry.
But Bricker made friends on
that Washington trip. He faced
the doubling and showed them
a man. He won the respect of
most Republicans in the capital
and, even If respect does not
always mean support, Bricker
will come into the convention
with more delegates than the
Willkieites care to think about.
WHILE Bricker concentrated
w on Washington. Willkie was
wandering the western lands.
He is laying down a program
for this country. Double tax
alton, increased trade with Rus
STA, China and Australia. farm
ers instructed not to expect TO
return to the old days-these
are a few planks of the Willkie
platform.
And Willkie is being heralded
by a tremendous publicity bar
rage. 1t is terrific campaign
but the results are not in the
bag. He will not get the Cali
fornia delegation.

4 LTHOUGH the facts havs
"A been reported in dispatches
from the fighting fronts, there
perhaps has not been sufficient
popular swareness of the ter
rife quantities OF military force
we have concentrated against
the Marshall Islands. before
that against the Gilberts. and
in general against isolated Pa
clfic islands.
To begin with, the Marshalls,
like the Gilberts before them
were systematically softened
up by land-based air attacks
before the invasion.
When the main show started,
Japanese air power was prac-
tically obliterated on the
Marshall Islands and carriers
could approach with relative
safety. From the news accounts
it appears that in the actual
invasion we used nearly 5000
600 displacement tons OF naval
force, consisting OF battleships,
cruisers. carriers and even new
secret types of vessels.
IT IS possible 10 estimate that
L perhaps 20 carriers took part
in the main action. which
means roughly thousand car
rier-based planes plus such air
craft as the ar1ny's Seventh
Air Force threw into action.
In part we owe that sea con-
troll 10 our superior industrial
facilities. But another. and in
some respects more significant
reaso is that the Japanese
apparently had given up the
idea OF purely naval warfare
long before Pearl Harbor. They
were conceivably prepared TO
lose the open waters OF the vast
Pacific by default.
While we continued to build
a two-ocean, then a seVen-ocean
navy, they were concentrating
on the land-sea- air team type
Of warmaking. The enemy, there
is reason TO surmise, has long
ago abandoned purely naval con-
struction in favor of amphibious
equipment with emphasis on its
air power component.
