WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 = Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt said today he would like to do some thing about the refusal of James Petrillos Musicians Union to make recordings for the two major broadcasting companies, and added he would look into the law first.

 A week ago he wired James c. Petrillo and asked him to lift the ban. Petrillo declined to do so un- less RIGA Victor and Columbia sign contracts with the union as, he said, the others had done.

WHAT, NO FLAG!

Nope, there is no flag flying ovei the grade school, and Superintend- ent A. B. Phillips has asked the Empire to tell why and thus stop people phoning to him or other wise asking him why the grade school isn't patriotic.
 You see, that gentle little breeze experienced the other night, just blew that big ball at the top of the staff containing the halyard wheel right down to Taku Harbor, or some place.
 Well, the staff has been lowered, new ball and wheel is being annexed and soon Old Glory will be Tapping.
 And there you are.

Fight In Streets

LONDON, Oct. 13-American in fantry fought from street to street in the northeastern factory district of bombed and burning Aachen to- day as the Germans rolled up a heavy force of armor in an effort to relieve the city which was Charlemange's capital. The appear ance of the fresh German armored division, shifted from the Arnhem sector in Holland, stirred expecta- tions of a major tank battle soon
 Aachen is dissolving the weight of the American shells and bombs but there is no sign of break. From 1,500 to 2,000 Nazi SS troops are fighting in the rubble and sewers.
 Heavy COunterattacks
 Northeast of the smoke-hidden city, the Germans mounted heavy counterattack in the Bradenburg area. Fighting is also intensified at Wurselen. where tips of the Allied spearheads are crowding the twin escape hatch toward Cologne. Associated Press Correspondent Don Whitehead reported surpris- ingly little resistance on the out skirts of Aachen.
 Allies have improved their posi- tions in Holland, although signs appeared that Marshal Von Run stedt is preparing a stiff defense in southwestern Holland. Factory District Captured
 The famous American infantry division has captured all of the suburban Schlachtof factory dis tricU in Aachens on the northeast ern outskirts. German reinforce ments included one of their finest tank divisions.
 Americans entered the city at 9:30 a. m. along path blasted by artillery and mortar shells and gingerly crossed 16 rows of tracks. They started routing out dirty, bearded Germans holed up and fighting in close quarters, some times with bayonets.
 Berlin Accounts
 The Berlin radio gave conflicting accounts. One broadcast said that the American assault had slack ened in Aachen. Another said the corridor had been widened to four miles and huge U. s. reinforce ments had arrived at the front.
 Correspondents in Holland said that the Germans are strengthen ing their forces near the Schelde Estuary.
 Planes spotted heavy German traffic moving west of Tilburg and north of Metz. Patton's Third Army is fighting the Germans hand-to- hand in the streets of Meizieres Les on the southern end of Metz.
 The western front communique said that the American Seventh Army and the French First Army have made substantial gains"

TANK CARRIER TASK FORCES FORCE SINKS STRIKE LUz0N, .16 JAP SHIPS BIG ASSAULT
Air Bases, Military Install : Iaiions, Maybe Manila
 Area, Bombed

UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, PEARL HARBOR, Oct. 13-A large force of carrier based planes struck Luzon. main island in the Philippines. on Tuesday afternoon, blasting air bases and military installations, Admiral Chester w. Nimitz an- nounced in communique.
 This is the third fleet action an- nounced in three days. The other two were attacks on Marcus and Ryukyus on Sunday and Monday, respectively, indicating the wide range of American warships in the Pacific.
 No details are given of the dam Iage on Luzon on which Manila is located.
 The communique said the planes making the strike were from the Pacific task force of the Pacific Fleet"
 This was the fifth such carrier strike on Luzon, two of which smashed the Manila area.
 Another Isle Taken
 Admiral Nimitz in his communi- que also announced the American I81st Infantry has landed on the l2th island in the Palaus to come under American domination since September 15
 The Americans went ashore Wednesday on Arimaskuku, four miles northwest of Peleliu and found it moccupied. This is the third new landing in the southern Palaus in four days.
 Continuous Fleet Action
 Reference made in the com munique on the Luzon raid re- garding smashing of air bases pos sibly meant the Manila area. which was again the principal target in almost continuous fleet actions, and suggests a. stepping up of the off, fensive in the Pacific.
 The actions served to recall the assertion by Adm. William F. Hal sey. Jr., that he would hit close to Japan, in vital spots, hard and |often.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON n.t. Col Robert 6. Allen nov on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON - Perhaps never in American history had there been such unique situation between two men once engaged in bitter cut-throat race for the White House as occurred between Franklin Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie.
 Ever since Pearl Harbor, Roose- welt and Willkie had been reason ably good friends. They never quite trusted each other politically, yet they had profound respect for the others ideals and convictions. And plans were under way, just before Willkie was taken sick, for even closer collaboration between the two.
 It was a closely guarded White House secret, but one week before Roosevelt went to Quebec to confer with Churchill, he asked for Will kie's private telephone number in -Rushville 2346-and sent word that he would want to see him before Willkie went to Cali fornia, where he was to try case for the Gianninis. FDR had in mind asking Willkie to serve as his personal representative in Ger many, in the event of an early armistice.
 Willkie, of course, was taken sick at Nashville and entered a New York hospital. He never went to California, and he never saw the President.
 Several times the two men were on the verge of personal rows, but they never quite came to the boil ing point. They chung to basic, though sometimes precarious, mu- tual esteem.

POSTWAR PLANS FORMULATED AT
 U5ES-WMC MEET
Warning Also Sounded on Workers Being Too
 Choosey About Jobs

After working out a procedure to handle returning war veterans and conferring with local Federal and Territorial officials concerning pay ment of readjustment allowances the joint conference of United States Employment Service and War Man. power Commissions officials will end this afternoon
 Representative from all the USES offices in the Territory are attending the meeting, the first of its kind held in several years.
 In two-day meeting with Unem- ployment Compensation Commission officials, the conferees outlined a plan of payment of allowances to returning veterans. The UCC is to act as agent for paying the claims. These claims, it was announced, are similar to the unemployment com- penSation claims for civilians. Under the plan the USES will be the claims taking agency but a repre- sentative of the Veterans Adminis- tration, to be stationed in Alaska at later date, will approve or dis approve all claims.
 Under this plan, Arthur Hedges, War Manpower Commission head for Alaska explained, the USES will first try to place the veteran in job equal, or nearly so, to his skill. Upon failing to do so they will take his, or her, claim for the allowance.
 Warning Sounded
 A warning was sounded by all representatives at the meet that no longer can the worker be too "choosey" is taking job. The boom time wages are about at an end. As one example of this when Nan Holt of the Kodiak USES was asked, What are they doing in Ko- diak now that they are not building bases?", she replied that most of the work was maintenance work. This work does not pay as high as con- struction although much of the work is similar in nature.
 It was agreed by all members that some workers were now unwilling to accept jobs at the peacetime labor scale Most of the trained construc- tion workers, it was pointed out, however, are leaving the Territory when the jobs are completed; a small percentage of the total stay ing in Alaska to wait for other jobs.
 No Compensation
 Arthur A. Hedges pointed out that with the abundance of work, work CTS who are hesitant about taking job at lower pay may have a diff cult time collecting unemployment compensation.
 It was also announced that labor ceilings are still to be maintained in Anchorage and Fairbanks but in no other Alaskan towns.
 Those attending the meeting are: Jack Carvel, Manager of. the Juneau USES; Nan Holt of the Kodiak office, Milton Ward, Fairbanks USES; Ed Borgen, Manager of the Ketchikan branch; William " Mait- land of the Anchorage office; Fred erick M Tyvoll WING representative from Cordova; and Arthur Hedges, WING Alaska head
 The conferees are to start the journey back to their respective stations tomorrow.
