missioner of Internal Revenue in computing the employers income tax returns. Findings which are prepared in each case are trans mitted to the Internal Revenue of- flee for execution" says Jackson.
 Firms Ask Status
 We find that most firms want to comply, and today many are coming in and asking for voluntary investigation of their business &C., tivities so they can have their pen alties determined and get back on the right track. Some cases which show fragrant violations are set down for hearings before panels of the Board, who upon hearing the evidence fix the penalties to be invoked"
 MT. Jackson also stated that in- asmuch as the Wage Stabilization regulations provided for such severe monetary penalties together with possible criminal prosecution, call- ing for fines and jail sentences, he believed it behooved every employer to come in and lay their cards on the table and get his business in ship shape, because if he did not, the Internal Revenue office or other Government agencies would eventually report the matter to the War Labor Board for action.
 MT. Jackson stated he wanted to make it clear that his purpose in Alaska was to obtain compliance, and attempt to serve the people by helping them comply with the reg ulations and thereby avoid embar- rassment at a later date. "The law being specific, and the penal ties severe" he said, "the sooner everyone gets in line the less it will cost everyone"

Roy E. Jackson, Senior Enforce ment Attorney for the Twelfth Re- gional War Labor Board is in Ju- neau and will remain in Alaska through the summer, processing ac- cumulated cases of wage stabiliza- ton violations in the hands of the Alaska branch of the War Labor Board.
 When asked what constituted a violation of wage stabilization reg ulations Jackson said: Any wage increase granted to employees since October, 1942, by firms employing more than eight persons, or having less than eight employees, when the employees wages are fixed by union contract, without first hav- ing received approval on proper forms from the War Labor Board constitutes a violation by the firm making the wage increase, and for the employee accepting the in crease.
 Tn September, 1943, the eXemp- ton given employers having eight or less employees was withdrawn and since November l, 1943, all employers in the Territory of Alaska are subject to the wage stabilization regulations, irrespective of the number of employees they have"
 Vigorous Enforcement
 In answer to the gu e t i o II whether the National War Labor Board was bent upon enforcing the Wage Stabilization regulations, Jackson replied that the Board, primarily interested in having business firms comply with the regulations, has taken the po- sition that vigorous enforcement program must be maintained and all violatorS dealt with. Jackson further stated that many cases in yolving firms which have been in violation have been disposed of by Such stipulations are agreements between the Board and the employer effecting settlement or compromise of the amount which shall be disregarded by the Com

 Observers speeulated that the fly Ing bombs may have come from hurriedly prepared sites in Holland but some experts doubted that bombs launched there could reach London in view of the distance, Press opinion was that the bombs came from Holland and were being sent over before supply bases were lost,

 San MNrino, . S6 square-mil' neutral country is six miles inlRne from Rimini on the Adriatie coast It is tho oldest state in Europe ane with tho Allies about to chase th' OermanS around the little country It's government Is taking preeau' tions,
 In order to discourage the Ger mans or tho Allies from using theii country for the transport of troops tho San MNrineSi have torn up the railroad running through theii country,
 Their militiOmen are posted all around the border which has been marked with great white crosses and signs in four languages saying keep out this Is 0 neutral country
 While these signs and the des' truction of the railway are probably more effective In keeping oul soldiers than the milltiOmen, the San Marine government eonSideree the country armed to the teeth as the present force Is exactly 2S times greater than the pre-wal army of i2 men.
