HULL REPLIES,
GOV. DEWEY'S
BIG 4 WORRY

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. - Pro-
jecting full dress at the United
Nations conference on world secur-
ity as a possibility this fall, Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull termed
it as utterly and completely un-
founded" the concern expressed
by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, lest the
Big Four powers should dominate
the earth by force"
Hull met reporters informally and
shortly after, issuing the statement
in reply to Dewey's which assert
ed that the equality rights of the
small nations must not be sacri-
feed.
In reply, Hull Said, mo arrange
ment such as described by him
which would involve a military al
lance by the four nations to per-
manently coerce the rest of the
world is contemplated or ever has
been contemplated by this govern
ment, or SO far as we know, by
an other of the governments"
In Albany, Dewey expires d
earnest hope that Hulls asser-
ton that the Big -Four of United
Nations don't contemplate post war
coercion for the rest of the world
that they would prove sufficient
assurance that the rights of the
small countries will be protected. {"

German Resistance Crunobles In So. France
CENTRAL ROOMS
Quilted BY fire
This AFTERNOON

A fire of undetermined origin this
afternoon completely Quilted the
Central Rooms in South Franklin
Street, adjoining the Alaskan Hotel,
and at press time, while under con-
troll, water was still being poured
on the roof of the building and the
sides, smothering any blaze.
The alarm, turned in at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, was answered by
two trucks from the Juneau Volun-
teer Fire Department and firemen
were aided by the Coast Guard and
Army.
The three-story building, owned
by w. d. Gross, was just recently
remodeled, and while the rooms up
stairs were unoccupied, the down.
stairs was occupied by the newly
opened Corbett's Cocktail Bar, Joe
Kelly's Mems Store and the Robert
Light Barber Shop.
Although flames for time threat
ened the Alaskan Hotel and the
old Senate Building, which is now
being remodeled, it was thought
that both structures only suffered
smoke and water damage, which
was, however, considerable.
The Central Rooms is one of the
old buildings of Juneau and years
ago was called the Forrest Building.

Parked Jap Planes on
Key Nip AirfieIds on
HaImahera DESTROYED

GENERAL HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACfFFC, Aug.
ia sizeable force of Allied heavy
and medium bombers smashed 81
tons of bombs Wednesday on the
Miti airdrome on northern Halma-
hera Island, the most concentrated
assault yet delivered at any single
point in this area.
In the raid % parked planes were
destroyed or damaged as the Al
lied planes continued the attack
which the communique said is
rapidly reducing the enemy's po-
tential aerial strength.
Fires were started in the Miti
airdrome, both personnel and sup
ply areas. Miti is one of the key
Jap airfields on Halmahera, south
ern guardian of the Philippines.
Liberators and Mitchells roared
over Halmahera at midmorning to-
day but no Japanese planes arose
and there was no antiaircraft fire.
Today's raid was the fourteenth on
the island
The communique says it is zap
parent the enemy can no longer
risk heavy shipping in this area
from outlying garrisons and must
depend for their supply on small
ships, sailing vessels and luggers.
Local craft of the small size ca
pacity is not sufficient for essen
tial items such as munitions and
aviation gasoline"

WASHINGTON, Aug. ID. = The

He told also the news conference

on airports in Canada.
OF the Great Circle Route he
said many planes for Russia have
been flown over the general route
of the Alaska Highway and he
looks for peacetime traffic to in
crease because we were hardly on
speaking terms with Siberia before
the war.

on the need for one year post
war combined civilian and military
training for all youth between the
ages of II and %, using extensive
training camp facilities including
those in Alaska and the Aleutians.
He said that such structures are
much stronger than those built in
the last war and will probably last
Is years and will accommodate
100000 men, although it is esti-
mated that only about fifth Of
that number will be needed for
training.

WITH THE SEVENTH ARMY
IN THE RIVIERA, Aug. 18.-All
units participating in the D-Day
assault on the French Riviera have
joined forming a solid beachhead
and the last remaining wedge Of
resistance was wiped out Wednes-
day night.
Travelling from one flank to an
other I was impressed how COM
paratively little damage had been
done to the towns themselves from
the preliminary navy rocket broad
sides and how inadequate the Ger
man defenses.
Ste. Maxine was still a gay and
colorful resort.
French women and girls were
still cheering and smiling at the
Americans although they had two
days of pent up enthusiasm.
/ found hundreds of doughboys
enjoying their first Riviera swim
along the deserted beaches, bathing
in their underclothes when near a
town and just in their birthday
suits along the deserted beaches.
The French people also started
swimming. They had been forbid
den to go near the beaches since
the Americans landed at Salerno,
Italy.
I found supplies and reinforce
ments flowing to the beachhead
even with greater speed than has
been achieved at any other Medit-
erranean area

Merry Go Round

WASHINGTON = Hard working
WPB boss Donald Nelson has given
some straight from the : shoulder
advice to William Bait, president
of the ski ball-bearing company
advising him to resign from the
War Production Board or else re-
sign from ski.
Some time ago, before the use
of Swedish SKI. ball-bearings by
Germany became hot internation-

Nelson, admitting that his connec-
ton with the Swedish ball-bearing
firm might prove embarrassing. He
explained, however, that while he
was head of the Philadelphia
ski plant, he had no active con-
nection with the Swedish parent
company.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-Presi-

today there was an understanding

many would be occupied regardless
how and when the Nazis gave up.
The President also expressed the
belief it will be just as easy to

regarding occupation of Japan.
Roosevelt also said certainly he
is going to confer with Churchill
again but declined TO indicate
when.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. - The
most hush-hush agency in wartime
government is the Office of Stra-
tegic Services, organized by Col.
wild Bill" Donovan of World War
l fame. Here's little incident to
show how far OSS goes to keep up
it's reputation:
Some time ago this agency, which
fights psychological war in divers
ways, found need for some en-
ployees with more than working
knowledge of the Japanese. SO they
hired dozen or SO from the relo-
cation centers after first conducting
the most rigid investigation of their
loyalty.
Several are Japanese nationals
who have lived In the United States
all their adult lives and pledge COM
plete fealty to this country. The
others are Japanese-Americans-the
"Nisei" who hold American citizen
ship by birth.
OSS didn't want anyone to know
they had japanese of any kind
handling confidential work, so these
rules were imposed:
None of them may tell anyone
else for whom they work or what
they are doing.
2-No two Japanese may leave
OSS headquarters together. They
must depart one at time SO as to
avoid attention.
3-They must insofar as possible
eat in a different restaurant daily.
That is so their persistent presence
in one place does not excite undue
interest leading to conversation and
perhaps unpleasantness.
Remember those periodic stories
of wacky Washington, where street
car motorman or bus driver got tired
of it all, stopped his vehicle and
walked away in some kind of dis
gust?
Well, the capitals street car COM
pany has developed new device to
meet the problem, partly. 1t is a
recorder which shows on a machine
in the central operating headquart-
ers when a car passes given point.
If trolley isn't recorded at point
when it should be, an inspector
dashes out and catches . of all
things :. a street car to find out
if the guy quit again, or what.
-the-war note: The staff in
the Bureau of Internal Revenue has
formed a gallon club" Twenty
four members have contributed that
much to the Red Cross Army and
Navy blood bank. That means eight
visits apiece, pint per donation.
