GROSS SUGGESTS
 IMPROVEMENT OF
 CITY,5. E. ALASKA

A letter from w. D. Gross, Juneau resident now in Los Angeles and Alaska theatre man, was read at today's Chamber of Commerce meet ing, offering suggestions for the i'm provement of Juneau.
 Gross enumerated the following points:
 It is good to improve Juneau, but all of Southeast Alaska should also be improved
 Try to help boatmen get flair and profitable" contracts for carrying mail and more freight between Southeast Alaska ports.
 Have Juneau business men buy some good fishing boats and lease them to fishermen.
 Keep Juneau taxes low to invite more investment.
 Make the schools fireproof and ask Congress for a loan to buy the electric light, water and telephone companies and operate these as pub
 
 lie utilities.
 Since none of the Juneau property owners can afford fireproof build ings, the new fire ordinance should be amended.
 A law should be passed by the Territorial Legislature creating a three month divorce procedure.
 The Territorial Legislature also should pass a law providing that Alaska be free to "all who labor whether to join union or not as they choose. All businesses should be open shop without fear of boy cott."
 Gross said that "also union or ganizers should be controlled so that they will not be able to threaten men and women to join the union through fear of physical injury or boycotts. All that the organizers are interested in is to get the entrance fee from the workers"
 Take care of Alaska's poor, dis abled and aged, regardless of creed, color or race.
 He suggested also that every per son in Juneau making S100 month or more should pay $1 month to the city treasury for pensions for those over 65.

COMPOSITE SCORE

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5--Ken O'Dea's pinch hit single in the eleventh inning this afternoon, scoring Ray Sanders, gave the St. Louis Card inals 3 to decision over the St. Louis Browns in the second game of the 1944 world series, squaring the baseball classic at one game each.
 Today's game was the first extra inning contest in world series since 1937 and the longest since 1895 and was made possible when the Browns rallied to score twice in the sixth inning on Gene Moore's single, Red Hayworth's double, and Frank Mancuso's pinch single.
 The Cardinals took advantage of the defense lapses of the American League champions and four errors, of which Potter made two in one inning on an infield out.
 It was a great game, however, with real ball playing, and the capacity crowd was kept on edge until the final score was made.
 Tomorrow the Browns will be the home team, the Cards starting off.

GREECE IS INVADEDBY
 BRIT. FORCE
Landing Made al Port of Patrai = Airfield Is
 Quickly Taken
BULLETIN N-LONDON, Oct. The Ankara radio said tonight the Germans are evacuating Athens and moving northward rapidly and blowing up bridges and roads to block pursuit.

ROME, Oct. 5-Striking from the sea and air, British troops have landed on western Greece and en- tered the port of Patrai and seized the airfields.
 The Royal Airforce Spitfires are already operating in support of the effort to drive out or destroy the German garrisons.
 The Allied Command, in an- nouncing the invasion, said the landing forces have made contact with the enemy both in Greece and neighboring southern Albania where other units went ashore 10 days ago.
 May End Nazi Rule
 It appears there is strong pos sibility operations might swiftly end German rule throughout the Bal kans.
 There is no immediate report on the German resistance at Patrai, which is Greece's third largest port, or elsewhere, but the Ger mans were recently said to have three divisions on the Greek main land, Crete and Aegean Islands. All of these forces are reported to be ready to flee northward at a moments notice to escape the jaws of the great trap closing in on the whole Balkan area.
 Closing Trap
 The Russians are advancing from the east and Allied forces and Patriot support are striking from the west.
 The landing forces at Patrai are believed small as compared to the major invasions of Africa, Sicily, Italy and France.
 The Allied forces are attempting to cut the enemy communications around Port Sarande, supply base for the German garrison on the strongly defended island of Korfu.
 The British parachute troops struck the first blow in the in- vasion of Greece and seized the airfields.
