 ELECTION
 CONCEDED

With light voting holding sway in practically all communities out side of Juneau, the election of Allen Shattuck to the Senate today was a foregone conclusion. With six more small precincts reporting, Shattuck's total stood at 1,162 at press time today. F. F Davis was still in second place with GIT, and Frank Price was creeping up on Davis with 525 votes.
 If the votes of the 25 precincts now in are any indication, the figure of 400 votes still outstand- ing would be a liberal estimate. Even if one of Shattuck's oppon- ents received every vote, Shattuck would still come out ahead.
 Since many of. the unreported precincts are outlying Indian vil- lages, it also seemed apparent that Price, endorsed by the Alaska Ma tive Brotherhood, would pass Davis.

GOOD SKIING E REPORTED TODAY
 AT UPPER CABIN

The skiing season is open at last in the Juneau area, report members of the Juneau Ski Club and High School Ski Club. High School skiers on holiday vacation have reported good skiing in the bowl above the upper cabin during the past week.
 Jim Rude, Buddy Hunter and others have made several trirs into the area and state that the cabin has been used by overnight parties practically every night in the week
 The activities of the Juneau Ski Club, announces Bill Hixson, have been slowed down because of the shortage of snow on the lower trail and slalom course.
 On New Years Day the more ex- perienced skiers are to carry their skis to the upper bowl. The trail is reported to be in excellent con- dition for hiking.
 The Juneau Ski Patrol warns all skiers not to ski on the trail below the upper cabin because of in- sufficient snow.

The salary increases would be effective for the duration of the war and for six months after hostilities cease
 At the same time, the Board sub mitted a budget for the 1945-47 biennium amounting to $5,l6l ,6sS, and the report states that revenues anticipated during this period will amount to $3.506,11l, leaving a dif- ference of $1,655.576 which the Leg islature must wipe out either by whiting the budget requests or with added taxation for Alaskans. The proposed budget is not quite Ia million dollars higher than the appropriation for the biennium now ending
 AS result of the recommended salary increases, practically all es- inmates submitted by the various Territorial departments to the Board were upped by the Board. Esti- mates for the Department of Public Welfare and for Health and Sani- tation were whitfield down by the Board.

Japs Did Not Use Naval Af- fdek 10 Screen New

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD QUARTERS tN THE PHILIP PINES, Dec. 29 American libera- tion forces on Mindoro Island to- day ascertained that the Japanese did not use the Tuesday night naval attack on Yank positions to screen the landing of troops on other portions of the island. The Nipponese task force which fired erratically on the U. s. beachhead area disappeared into the China Sea pursued by American planes.
 Enemy ground and air activity in the island was lacking Wednes- day, Gen. Macarthur reported to- day
 It was thought at first that Japa- nese naval units had taken a great risk to draw American attention while putting troops ashore at other points. After the attacking force was driven off with the loss of three destroyers sunk and bomb hits scored on a battleship and cruiser, cub planes flew reconnais- sance missions extensively over Mindoro's west coast and found no evidence of an enemy beachhead

 Few Days

2 MOSCOW, Dec. 29 Russian forces today cracked the first of three inner defense rings of the .encircled Nazi garrison at Buda- pest, while the Austrian bound Red Army to the north stepped up it's
 drive along both sides of the Danube.
 The Red forces made an all-out bid to win strategic control of Budapest in a matter of days, if not hours, as fanatical Nazi troops in the hilly district of Buda and the populous flatlands of Pest gave ground under a score of Russian assaults.
 Combat teams. tommy gunners, tanks, and propelled guns of the enemy were hurled out of 12 eastern suburbs of the city yester- day by the hard-driving Soviets.
 A battle of even greater military ragged at the approaches to the Danubian communications center of Komarom, less than 85 miles southeast of Vienna and within 5 miles of Bratislava.
 Two columns of Marshal Tobul- khins Third Ukrainian Army group on the city from the east and southeast, while across the Danube to the northeast Mali novsky mounted a powerful smash at the Nazi Hron River defense line. There is evidence that Rus sian vanguards may be fighting on the west bank of the Hron, whose confluence with the Danube west of the great Danube bend has al- ready been outflanked by Tobul- khin.

The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Lt Col Robert S. Allen now on active
 service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON = Some of the White House inner circle now ad- mits that the President made one of the great psychological mistakes of the war when he told a press conference that the Atlantic Char ter did not exist as formal docu- ment.
 When you read carefully the stenographic record of that press conference, as this writer has, it is easy to see that the President was only trying to give some interesting history as to how the Atlantic Charter was scrubbed on bits of paper by him and Churchill and Iadioed back and forth between ships.
 He did not mean to throw the Atlantic Charter overheard. He was trying to steer his press conference, as he so frequently does, away from the dynamite-laden question of Po-
