Citizens Unit0pposes
Connecticut Avenue
Corner LOT Rezoninq

The Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association last night adopted two
resolutions, one favoring the increase
in teachers beginning salary and the
other opposing the rezoning of a cor
ner lot on Connecticut avenue be-
tween Macomb and Newark streets.
The rezoning proposal, now before
the District Zoning Commission, re-
quests the lot be changed from resi-
dental to first commercial. During
the discusSionit was brought out that
the lot was originally sought as a
site for library and also there was
no guarantee as to what types OF
business establishments would be
opened.
After a lengthy discussion the
resolution opposing the rezoning was
approved with one dissenting vote
The motion was presented by Mrs
w. w. CoblentZ, chairman Of the as
sociations Zoning Committee.
Other measures acted on included
favoring the continuance of all civil
ian defense units both locally anc
nationally and requestig the Capita

LOS ANGELES, Jan. when
American troops get to where Toxic
now stands, there'l be "a little cele-
bration where Toxic was,' says Ad-
miral William F. Halsey, commander
of Allied forces in the South Pacific
The comment prefaced Admiral
Halsey's appearance at the Army
Navy war conference which begins
today with discussions by Gen. H.
H. Arnold, Army Air Forces chief,
and other military officials with
West Coast civic and business lead
ers. Sessions conclude tomorrow
night with public military spec
tacle.
Un New York the National
Broadcasting Co. announced Ad-
miral Halsey would speak over
its network at 9 o'clock tonight
for Is minutes, from Hollywood)
Holding his first press conference
since his secret return to the main
land On New Year eve Admiral
Halsey refused to predict yesterday
when the Toxic celebration would
take place declaring he had done
so once New Year Day, 1943. when
he said the japanese would be de-
feated in l943. But speaking Of
his operational area, he added:
I'VE have the finest representa-
rtives of American manhood ever
assembled and they're fighting as
one team. The Japs don't like the
way they're fighting-and they'll
like it even less"
Admiral Halsey said it was nat
ural that American boys, many Of
them brought up in cities should
feel out of place in the jungle at
first, but he declared they had
proved to be better jungle fighters
than the Japanese ever were and
are killing the enemy at ratio of
10 to /.
Asked about japanese naval gun
merry, the naval chief answered:
We'll, the only time we see it is
at night, but we're better than they
are. They don't seem to want to
come out and play in the daytime. !"
"Yes, Jap torpedo planes are
good" he remarked, but ours are
better. The Jap pilot caliber is going
down steadily-no question of that"
Admiral Halsey told reporters he
wished he were an orator to do
justice to the Marine Corps and
the Seabees.
They have done tremendous
things under difficult conditions, !"
he said. Why, Munda airport is
better than any airport in the United
States, and the Seabees built it. But
feel the same way about every
outfit down there"
Here for brief visit by his wife,
he Is scheduled to confer with off,
cials in Washington before his re-
turn to sea duty.

studied the bus situation between
5:25 am. and 8:55 am. daily. In
his estimation buses were loaded to
capacity in that half hour and many
people were forced to wait 10 to Is
minutes at time before being able
to board bus.
Mr.. Clarke further suggested that
after the survey is made something
be done to remedy the situation.
Edmund D. Mason, administrative
assistant to j. Edgar Hoover, direc-
tor of the FBI, spoke to the group on
THE War Activities of the FBI."
The meeting. held in the All

1T took us about three months
to make the EouT Tainville fields un-
usable.' Gen. Mitchell continued.
1T may take longer against Rabaul,
as the opposition, particularly anti
aircraft, is much heavier. But we
can do 1.-THE fields at Empress

Rabaul, target of continuing at

airfields in New Guinea. by carrier

In any event, Mitchell predicted
the Bougainville air bases would

assaults when the enemy dared con-
centrate large number of ships

City Water Shortage Based

The critical shortage of water in Kodiak was relieved yesterday when water brought to Erskine's dock in a large steel scow was pumred into the mains. Many homes on parts of the Erskine and Benson lines have been with out water for 4 days and water in tbe city storage tank was down to 4 feet yesterday and homes on the latter system in higher parts of town were also out. The city water tank is the main storage as the work on the reservoir is still under way.
 Through the cooperation of military authorities the scow, used for water carrying purposes with capacity of 220.O00 gal Ions, was filled half full from an- other docks water line and water from it was pumped directly into the mans Not only were homes but water for fire pro- lection was made availab e.
 Light rains during the week ending August 5 were the last Kodiak had of any help and as local watersheds are small dry spell always causes such a short age Completion of the large city reservoir winch will provide am- pie storage for such dry periods is expected to remedy the prob lem.

it's first glimpse of a chief execu- tive of the United States in Its 152-year-old history this alter noon when President Roosevelt and party stopped briefly here after a tour of the Aleutians that followed his Pearl Harbor confer ence with General MacArthud
 First hint of the event occurred when extensive slick-up prepara- tions were undertaken ea' 'lier at the naval base and Fort GreelY Extraordinary precautions were taken for the safety of the dis tinguished visitor. Passes were cancelled, relaxed and re-cancel~ led; travellers to Ouzlnkle and other nearby points were denied permission to leave town; 8 party of 6 civilian workers from town, few minutes late this merning at the guard house, were not aa- lowed to go to work; fishermen and their boats were kept in pOrtSS and an Alaska Airlines plane from Anchorage got as far as' Homer and turned back. It was told it could land but not leaVe.t
 No announcements were made that visitor was expected, or who, or when. A cloud of dust O@ Shelikof highway was the first signal that the visitor was com ing into town, although the cruis- CT had been seen from town. Peo- pie stared hard as the first car came rushing along and then ia the second car, a station wagoav they saw the President seated by the driver. A spontaneous cheer went up and Roosevelt, hat ca, smiled and waved as the car sped faster than the law allows down Alaska Way. past the bank and on up Kupreanof to Signal hin,
 Word got around immediately that the cars were going to make the loop and come in BrooklyR and Alaska Way for aDotheE glimpse. Before most could get there the caravan had passed the spot and was or it's way out Shellkof to return to the base.
 After his appearance in town the President welt fishing for an hour. Result-one trout. After the fishing expedition the Presid- ent returned 10 the cruiser and many townspeople went out TH- gorra and Mission road to watch the ship leave the harbor shortly before 8 pm
 Although his stay was brie{p President Roosevelt said he eH- oyed his visit at Kodiak very much and wished he could stay onger.
 Members of the presidential party were very interested ia Kodiak and asked the following questions:
 Do descendants of Russian antilles still live here? (Ed. note Yes)
 What do people do for a llv- ng? (Fishing main industry)
