Swedish Writer Thinks h. vasion of Europe Will
 Crush Home Front

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 4.-Germany has been shaken to her very foun- dations" by bombing, and the in- vasion of Europe might cause the Nazi home front to collapse, Swed- ish aviation commentator said, writing in the Tidningen Stig Ven nerstroem.
 He expressed doubt that bombing alone could win the war, since this could only wound, not kill the Reich's decentralized industry"
 He added. There is no question that a bomb war is very effective. because it is fact that Germany is shaken to her very foundations by the bomb attacks. How much more the home front can stand is complicated by the question that what happened in Italy could hap pen in Germany at the moment of invasion.'

Juneau Chamber of Commerce. Officials of the Drive emphasized that bond sales made by these or ganizations in connection with the free show will not count on their total sales in the drive contest.
 All organizations who participated in the last drive are expected to assist with the Fourth War Loan Drive, and in addition the Alaska Territorial Guard will be in the competition this time. Since bond sales made on or after January 3 will count in the drive and in the contest, all organizations are urged to begin work at once on their plans
 Of the $315, ,00O quota set for Cas- tineau Channel, $140.000 is the Ser ies E issue, and organizations are asked to keep this in mind. While the total quota is $65,000 higher than that set for the last war loan drive, it is nearly $l00,000 less than was actually raised in the last drive.

TIMBER CAN BE NEW INDUSTRY
 FOR S.E. ALASKA

The forests of Southeast Alaska can be developed into major post war industry if private enterprise takes advantage of the coming post war demand for lumber and short ages of the product in the States, Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzle- man told members of Rotary Club this noon.
 Heintzleman said that Sitka spruce from Alaska is now going to England for construction of Mo- squito bombers, and that the aver age person fails to realize how much wood is being used in the war effort. In 1922 more wood was used than steel in the war. But due tc the lag in housing along with de- struction of property by war much more wood will be demanded as soon as the war is over.
 In the Pacific Northwest, he said lumbermen are beginning to won- der what they are going to use for timber, and this is Alaskas chance to establish a firm numbering in- dustry.
 The Regional Forester said that he plans to devote almost all of his time from now on until the end Of the war on studies for bringing post-war industries into being for Alaska
 Heintzleman will speak at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday on Postwar transportation for Alaska.
