Rails Face New Problem in War Plant Cut Books;
North Carolina Lists Top Spots for Fishermen:
Ocean City Sees Cafe Shortage as Only a Memory

Cutbacks in war plants are put
| ting before carrier executives a
problem never before faced by
American railroads, and a confer
ence has been slated here this Geek
to discuss ways and means of meet
ling this problem, which Is certain
to grow larger as industry turns
toward civilian production.
Almost Immediately a plant ceases
its output of war goods, demand for
factory space being so great, the
heavy machines used in such output
must be moved to allow installation
of machinery for peacetime prod
ucts, and the moving job falls on
the freight agent.
Often as not there is no place to
put the removed machinery-pieces
often weigh as much as so tons-and
it can't remain on fiat cars over an
extended period, as these are in de-
mand, too. In many cases tenn
porary bases on which to put these
machines will have to be built, as
well as finding or devising some kind
of covering that they will not be
ruined for future use.
Discussing the problem the other
day, freight executive here re-
called the job done in Russia two
years ago when the Soviets moved
whole plants in the face of German
invasion to previously arranged
points some $50 or more miles far
ther inland. Crews of Russian me-
chanics tore down each heavy ma
chine, followed it through on the

MAY HAVE
Teen AGE
CLUB HERE

Plans are now being worked out,
it was learned today, to establish a
"Teen-Agers Club" in Juneau at
which boys and girls of high school
age can have regular dances and
other social functions, with the
supervision in the hands of the kids.
Appearing at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting today, Dick Gar
vim and Don Pegues made brief talks
explaining the need for some hall
where such functions could be held
regularly, and urged the support OF
the Chamber on the project. They
said all of the students were behind
such plan 100 percent.
Harold Foss, President of the Ro-
tary Club, said that members of the
Executive Board of this club had
discussed such project and would
back it. The American Legion Dug
out was suggested as hall that
might be used and it is understood
that the American Legion will take
the matter up when it meets Mon
day evening.
Foss said luke box" and records
would be provided for music and a
Rotarian or member of the Cham
Der or another organization would
be on hand at each function as a
chaperon.

THE PALM BEACH
Story SHOWING
AT 10Th CENTURY

There's a mighty amusing story
ON the screen of the goth Century
Theatre, told by Preston Sturges and
hilariously acted by Claudette Col
bert. Joel McCrea, Rudy Vallee and
Mary Astor.
It's THE Palm Beach Story,
Paramount's comedy romance about
couple, married five years and
still in love, about to call it quits
because the little woman, played by
Miss Colbert, decides that it isn't
practical to live by love alone. Nc
Crea, her husband, while being a
charming fellow and talented at in
ventions, just isn't equally talented
at raising the money necessary to
market them.
Claudette considers herself flop
as his wife but believes that as his
sister she'll be able to use her
beauty to his business advantage.
McCrea is. of course. opposed to her
idea but that doesn't stop her. She's
off to Palm Beach for a divorce.
The fun really starts in earnest
on Claudette's arrival in Palm
Beach. McCrea manages to get
there, too, and Claudette introduces
him to Vallee as her brother. VAL
lees sister, played by Mary Aston,
goes for Joel in big way, amid
typical Preston Sturges comedy com-
plications.

Germans Make Desperate
Counterattaeks 10 Ward
Off New Threat
BULLETIN-Lond0 Feb. IL.
An Ankara radio broadcast
picked up here tonight says the
Russian Army is now within
IL miles of PskOv.

MOSCOW, Feb. II. = The Rec
Army met increased resistance as
it drove upon the great commune
cations hub at Pskov from two di-
rections northwest of the city
where Lake Peipus joins Lake
Pskov.
Soviet troops who have captured
the town of Samolva have develop
ed new threat on the Pskov-Riga
trunk railway on the eastern shore
of Lake Peipus, less than mile
wide in some places.
This newest threat is the most
dangerous confronting Pskov, the
anchor of the German defense sys-
tenn in that area as any push across
the narrows would be followed by
a drive on the south.
The Army newspaper Red Star
said the Germans are counter-at-
lacking violently south and south
east of Gdov Lake in the Peipus
region where the Russians are max
ing their drive on Pskov. The Rus
slams have swept up 80 towns and
villages during the past "a hours.
The Nazis are blowing up all rail-
way and highway bridges and build
ing barbados across the trunk
highway that runs southwesternly
in the direction between Luga and
Pskov.
