SILVER THAW-HA

A silver thaw, (thaw is good), hit Juneau early Sunday night and soon streets and sidewalks were covered with slick ice that made walking hazardous and autoing the same. Then, early this morning, snow fell, and walking and driving were just a slip and a slide that eliminated in many cases with a dull thud, followed b va sharp pain in portions of the body that were not intended by Nature to come suddenly and unexpectedly into contact with icy streets and walks.
 The street gang was out early with sand to facilitate the move ment of traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian.

The W ashington Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON Ut Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON thing puzz- ling the American public is the fact that despite the widely announced great naval victory of the Philip pines, the Japs still are able to land troops on Leyte = in fact, landed them even while the great naval battle was in progress
 Inside explanation of the mys- tery goes to the doorsteps of three gentlemen so high-up that nobody can do much about them-Franklin Roosevelt, Gen. MacArthur and Ad- miral Halsey
 In the opinion of a good many naval experts, the Battle Of the Philippines, although very defi- mite victory. was not as big and overwhelming as the three above named gentlemen made it out to be.
 In fact, when Admiral Halsey sent his first dramatic communi- cation to the Navy Department telling how he had decimated the Jap fleet, the Department cabled back that they didn't believe his victory was as great as he claimed and they advised him to put the lid on news releases.
 However, the Halsey dispatch was sent as a matter of routine to the White House, where it went first of all to Rcosevelt's Chief of Staff, Admiral Leahy. Ever-cau- tious Leahy also was troubled about it, advised that the news be played down rather than up.
 But even while he held the dis patch in his hand and was discuss ing it with others in the White House, news came over the ticker that Gen. MacArthur had an- nounced a great naval victory. As the top commander in the Philip pine theatre, MacArthur has the right to issue any communique- even regarding naval victories, though the Navy doesn't and, in this case, certainly didn't like it.
 Following the MacArthur an nouncement, the President went out whole hog. Calling a special press conference, he announced the greatest naval victory of the war.
 Although real victory, the chief of Navy press relations probably was more accurate when, last week, he expressed the cold opinion that the Battle of the Philippines had not materially shortened the war | in the Pacific.

TOKYO RAID DISApp0INTS
 COMMANDER

THE PEST U. s. BOMBER COM MAND AT SATAN, Nov. 27.--The first Superfortress raid on Tokyo ob- viously hurt Japan, but even so didn't come up to expectations, Brig. Gen Hansell, Base Command CT, said.
 The first formations over the en- emy capital in clear weather did a good job. he told the press confer ence, but later ones ran into a thick cover. Despite the handicap, only four of dozens" of B-29s which participated tTokyo said TOD failed to hit worthwhile targets.
 He disclosed that only one of the two. .Superforts which were lost went down by enemy action. The other failed to return for reason un- known. The plane lost over Tokyo was attacked by Jap lone fighter which either went out of control or the Jap pilot knew he was doomed. because he crashed into the tail of the B-29 which crashed into the water east of Japan. Apparently none of the crew got out. Reports, however, said that couple of life rafts were sighted, and destroyer is Investigating.
 Hansell declined to estimate the number of enemy planes brought down because crew reports were necessary confused and hard to as- ses, but at least four were known to have been bagged and ten or more others shot down or damaged. One Super came back with only two motors operating.
