business. For many years he was President
 of the Chamber of Commerce, and he has con-
 tinued to be active in that organization and
 otherwise whenever it is possible for him to be
 of service to Juneau and the Terrtory-and
 that it most of the time.
 People are fortunate when they get op-
 portunity to vote for such men as MT. Shattuck
 is for public office-particularly for member
 ship in the Legislature It is not often that
 the opportunity comes Straightforward square
 as the compass, true as steel, he ought to be
 elected to the Territorial Senate by an over
 whelming majority.
 And-he was.
 Although the foregoing editorial, written by the late John w. Troy, appeared in the columns of The Empire than IA years ago. it's just as good today it was then.
 And once again The Empire has the honor to be among the first to endorse Allen Shatuck for Terri torial Senator
 Today, more than ever, he is too valuable man for the voters pass for public office With AT years of residence Alaska and four sessions in the Territorial Legislature behind him. he better quali fled to fill the vacant seat for the First Division than any man we know
 This editorial will embarrass MT. Shattuck. When we asked for a statement this morning, this his answer:
 Bill, if you want to say anything about me, don't play up too much. I'm only plain, ordinary citizen with the faults and weaknesses of the average human being-no better and hope worse. I'm getting into this election only because am vitally interested in Aaska's welfare and because believe that my experience in four sessions of the Legislature will give my service distinct advantage over that of anyone who has not had previous experience
 During the next session of the Legislature we will need a man who has MT. Shattuck's experience with the fiscal problems of the Territory. In the four sessions he has served he has always been member either of the Ways Means Committee of the House or the Finance Committee of the Senate.
 His record shows that he has always fought for progressive legislation. If Alaska have father" of its present modern system of public education, the parent is MT. Shattuck.
 He is the author of a bill which he succeeded in having enacted into law setting up the Department of Education and paving the, way for our present modern system.
 He should be elected December 27 by large majority.

CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR

Allen Shattuck, Democratic nominee for Territorial Senator, is one of the ablest men that ever served in the Alaska Legislature. He was chairman of the Ways and Means Com mittee in the last House of Representatives. He was a watchdog of the treasury but fair and progressive. Those who served in the House with him, without regard to politics or location of residence, pay him very high tribute. They say he is thoroughly honest, very able, of sound judgment, hard worker and always alert His fellow townsmen know all that to be true. They know also of his public spirit and his loyalty to Alaska.
 MT Shattuck was boy when he came to Juneau. He grew up here and accumulated competency in the real estate and insurance

u. 5. Air Forces Move
For Liaison With Reds
Draws No Response
By the Associated Press.

ROME, Dec. 28.-The United
States Air Command in Italy, seek
ing a close liaison with Russian
military forces which would enable
hundreds of 18th Air Force heavy
bombers to be employed with maxi
mum effectiveness against the COM
mon enemy, thus far apparently has
achieved no tangible results in its
overtures.
Close cooperation was attained
last summer, when 18th Air Force
bombers and fighters as we'll as 8tE
Air Force planes shuttled to bases in
Russia, bombing and strafing Naz
targets en- route.
Cease Shuttle Operations.
The desirability of shuttle oper-
ations ceased, however, when Ro-
mania was knocked out of the wal
and the Russian armies moved uI
into Poland, Hungary, Slovakia ano
Yugoslavia. Authoritative sources
here asserted that shuttle bombing
was discontinued merely because il
ceased to be profitable when bases
built for United States bombers were
left great distances behind the Rus.
sian fighting front and the targets
between them and Italy ceased te
exist.
The problem troubling 1t. Gen
Ira G. Eaker and his staff. however
is fighter bases. 1t obviously woulc
be ideal if the Americans were able
to base fighters in the newly wor
area near Budapest where bomber.

Moscow Dispatch Denies
End of Shuttle Service

MOSCOW, Dec. % P. - The
United States Air Forces Russian
command has a new chief, Brig.
Gen. Edward Hill from the 9Th Air
Force, and the shuttle service to
and from American bases in the
Soviet has not ended despite re-
ports to that effect published abroad.
Some of the staff at the American
bases has left the bases, but the
main body is still there. The shuttle
service is not operating presently,
it is explained, because presens
American bases are considered to
be too far behind the Westward
moving Russian front.
The shuttle service, according to
the best information available here,
had no connection with Soviet fail
ure to attend the Chicago air con-
ference.

to Germany. The tactical air forces
now are compelled to use all the
available airf1elds near the North
ern Italian battle front.
Elimination of the enemy from
France and the Balkans and sub
stantially from Hungary has left
the 18th Air Force with only lin
tied sphere of operations
1t could be tremendous support
weapon for the Russian drive across
Hungary if adequate liaison with
the Soviet command were achieved.
Tragic consequences when close
liaison is lacking were disclosed in
a recent announcement that a group
of American Lightnings lost its bear

umn in Yugoslavia last month.
