litical Association succeeded the old
Communist party, with himself as
the head of both. He said his Or
ganization of 100000 is supporting
President Roosevelt for reelection,
but isn't spending or soliciting any
money in partisan" sense.
Cites "Laudable Purposes"
Chairman Anderson and Mr.
Brown reminded Mr.. Browder tina,
some persons have linked Com
munists with the CIO-PAC and the
witness said:
Leaders of our organization have
taken the position that the purposes
of the Political Action Committee
are laudable and should be sup
ported"
He added that there are Com
munists also in AFL political COM
mittees.
Asked if he could give names, Mr.
Browder said he would not under
take to list the politics of any indi.
vidual, that such a disclosure is uI
to the individual alone. He stated
that some of his colleagues are
active" in the Republican ano
Democratic parties, in the Elks, ir
the ministerial associations, and sc
forth"

hearing that it is not engaged ir
politics but merely strives to "edu.
cate" the people in favor of consti.
tutional government.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-Allied
planes swept through continent
al skies today after night in
which British bombers dropped
100000 fire bombs on the Ger
man port of Bremerhaven and
attacked Berlin for the 10th
time.
(The FEC said the Budapest

The attack on Bremerhaven, at
the mouth of the Weber River, "a

visibility was good and the
bombing was well concentrated" !"
the Air Ministry declared. -
Bremerhaven would be q logical
debarkation point for German
troops in the event of withdrawal
from Norway.
The attack on Berlin, executed by
Mosquitoes carrying two-ton block
busters, was the sixth raid on the
German capital in a week. RAF
night fighters and intruder aircraft
supported the bombers and shot up
German airfields.
The Air Ministry listed total Brit
ish losses in the overnight operations
as four planes.
Port Left Blazing.
Sweeping in from the sea shortly
after dark, Lancasters covered the
entire Bremerhaven area with in
cendiaries and crews said the port
was left blazing from one end to
the other.
The Importance of Bremerhaven
had doubled since a series of devas-
tating attacks shut down the facil-
tiles of Emden. Germanys two
great liners, the Europa and Bremen.
have sought shelter there. The port
also is known to be harboring sub
marines, motor torpedo boats, E.
boats, R-boats and minesweepers.
Despite the overwhelming odds
against them, the Germans tried
hard to break up the second Allied
air-borne landing in Holland during
daylight yesterday and took a Sc

"0FF LIMITS" HANDICAPs CTS

WITH AMERICAN TROOPS IN BRITTANY - One thing that an- noys doughboys most is that after fighting for days-perhaps weeks to take a town, it immediately is put "off limits
 That means no soldiers are all lowed to remain in town unless they are on official business. The army can't police every liberated town and occupation by troops in- derferes with rehabilitation and civic life-but the infantry cant always see these reasons.
 We even have the Germans trained now" said one disgruntled. doubtboy. "The last thing Nazi does before pulling out of town is hang up sign reading Off lim- it's to all troops.'"

PASADENA PROSPERS UNDER
 CITY MANAGER PLAN
By c. B. Moody Staff Writer. Pasadena lCalif.


 Star-News
 Largely because of the adoption of City Manager government, more progress has been made in Pasa- dena in the past IS years than was accomplished during the preceding 35 years.
 Many of Pasadenas accomplish ments, as set forth by Dr. E. L.. Thorndike of Columbia University, who gives Pasadena first place among BIO American cities, are due to the Manager-Dire form of government.
 Largely through the able admin istration of the manager govern ment, Pasadena did not find it nec- ,essary to borrow during the years of the depression. Instead, it suc- ceeded in the lean period in reduc- ing it's bonded indebtedness.
 It also cut the assessed valuation of Pasadena from $1S7, 7,000,000 to 29,0O0,00O, thereby greatly re- ducing it's income, but living all the time within its means.

NEW SURVEYS
 TO BE MADE OF
 WRANGELL AIRPORT

That Wrangell's airport site, back of Mt. Dewey, is still being considered for post-war develop ment was demonstrated this week when A. E. Glover and Albert Chipperfield, Forest Service offici- als, paid visit to Wrangell for the purpose of looking over possi- biliCies of it's further development
 Visit of the two officials resulted from communications of Mayor Fred G. Hanford with Marshall Hoppin, of Anchorage, head of GAIA airport construction in the Territory,
 The Forest Service men explained that new methods have now been devised whereby muskeg surfaces do not offer the obstacles to hard surfacing which they did a few years ago. Opinion was that the cost of putting Wrangell's site in shape for plane use would not be exorbitant.
 "A town without an airport after this war simply will not be on the map" Mayor Hanford said Tt is up to us to see that Wran- gell is not overlooked.
 Complete data was gathered by Chipperfield and Glover and it is expected that further surveys will be made within the near future.

5000 PLANES HAVE
 BEEN SENT TO REDS
 OVER ALASKAN ROUTE

EDMONTON-Approximately 10,- 900 American-built airplanes have been sent to Russia by the United States since the start of the Soviet aid policy in October, 1941, it has been learned from U. s. military sources here.
 About half that number have been flown by way of Edmonton, Alaska and Siberia.
 It also was learned that more than 20O0 have gone to the Rus sian fighting fronts over the same northern route in the first four months O. this year.
 The planes. are flown from Great Falls, Montana, to Fairbanks by U s. ferry pilots and there taken over by Russian pilots who fly them to Nome and across the Boring sea to Siberia.
 The Siberian part of the route still is shrouded in secrecy. T h e aerial highway, however, is termed the main aerial path from North America to the far east and the 'back door, to the Russian fight ing front.
 F The Great Falls Fairbanks leg alone covers 1900 miles of route opened shortly after the Japs hit Pearl Harbor. Traffic has reached point where the movements of fighters, bombers and cargo craft are like a parade of aircraft tied together with a cord miles long.
 Although none have been seen here, Russian women pilots have played an important part in taking the frontline planes over the wastes of North America and Siberia.

Chinese women now are more ac-

Miss Ruth Cowdrey, who has been
in Trinidad and the Caribbean area
as the representative of the World s

disintegration, or, perhaps more &C

life. Many women. speak wistfully
OF return to normal home life
and the prevalent tendency is
toward more widespread recogni-
