selves it is only fair to say that American
equipment, American munitions and American
supplies played an important part in saving
Moscow.
Now the Russians are in Berlin. They have
advanced nearly one thousand miles against
tremendous odds to get there, and here too
American aid has had its effect Without the
materiel the United States provided the tread
of no Russian soldiers boot, the rumble of no
Russian tank would be heard in the Reich
capital
We emphasize American aid to Russia lest
in councils still to be held on the future of
the Reich it be overlooked or soft pedaled.
NO praise should be withheld from Russia
for the tremendous job it has DONE Russia
has fought magnificiently. But without Amer
lean support and material help, Russia would
have gone down in defeat and Hitler not only
have occupied Moscow but have conquered in
the Caucasus and with the oil obtained there
continued his triumphant march into India.
with all the narrowing consequences that adj.
vance would involve for the Allied nations
opposing the foul purposes of the Nazis and
the Japanese.
We render praise to the Russians for their
entry into Berlin and all the suffering and
hardship they endured to get there But we
cannot withhold praise at the same time for
American industry and planning that helped
make it possible for them to achieve that goal
1t is fitting now to note that the occupation
OF Berlin does not signal the end of this war
In Europe. Dispatches telling of the Russian
entry reveal that the strongest German forces
there, the SIS troops, Hit1er's own Elite Guard
have turned tail and run for safety. They are
headed southwark, with the probable object
OF rallying in the Bavarian hills to continue
the fight as guerrillas as long as they have
ammunition, or until their fanatical courage
runs out.
With other Hit1erites who cannot effect es
cape into Bavaria, but who will continue the
conflict where they are it is obvious that thu
war will 60 on for some time to come Their,
will be no unconditional surrender. Instead
there can only be complete eradication O
Nazi resistance, wherever 1t exists and no
until this eradication is accomplished will it b.
safe to entertain thought Of peace in Europe
It is in this campaign Of eradication tina

Russian Armies not now within or at Berlin

''NAMES ON THE LAND" by
George r. Stewart (Random
House.; $3)


"Stages start from this house for
China, Sardinia, Holland, Ham
burg, Java, Sweden, Cuba, Havre,
Italy and Penn-Yan," a traveller
once wrote from Buffalo,, and
names like these, plus perhaps a
thousand more, applied to our
rivers, mountains, capes, lakes,
states, counties, cities and villages
are traced to their almost innum-
cradle sources in this fascinating
book.
If place names don't matter to
you, Stewards thick volume, well
written though it is, will not mat
ter, either. But if you find them
as thrilling as I do, whether in a
dull and factual giudebook or
woven into novel as Marcel
Proust did it in his great work,
run out at once and get copy
of this. Maybe your home town is
in it, maybe not; but you'll be de.
lighted with the histories of other
names. It's sort of like detective
fiction, on a reputable plane.

OKINAWA-(by Navy radio)-
My company of marines started
moving just after breakfast. We
were to march about mile and
a half, then dig in and stay in one
place for several days, patrolling
and routing out the few hidden
Japs in that area.
We were in no danger on the
march-at least we thought we
weren't, So not all the marines
wore steel helmets. Some wore
green twill caps, some baseball
caps, some even wore civilian felt
hats they had found in Japanese
homes.
For some reasons soldiers the
world over like to put on odd local
headgear. I've seen soldiers in
italy wearing black silk opera
hats. And over here I've seen
marines in combat uniform wear
ing panama hats.
I've always enjoyed going along
with an infantry company on the
move, even some of the horrible
moves such as we had in Italy
and France. But the move we
made that morning here on Okina-
wa was really pleasant one.
1t was early morning and the
air was good. The temperature was
perfect. The country was pretty.
We all felt that sense of ease
when you know nothing very bad
is ahead of you. There is no weight
on your spirit. Some of the boys
were even smoking cigars.
There are always funny sights
in a column of soldiers moving
along. Our mortar platoon had
Communicated dozen local
horses to carry heavy pieces. One
of the marines had tied the pack
onto his horse with a Japanese
oboe-one of those. brightly color

And here came this marine, dirty
and unshaven, leading a sorrel
horse with big bowtie of black
and white silk, three feet wide,
tied across it's chest and another
similar one tied under its belly,
the ends standing out on both
sides.
Troops carry the oldest things
when they move. One marine had

 Lord Cadogan followed Gromyko's words with an appeal for faith and hope. He was seconded by Senator Long Tim" Connally of Texas.
 In the end, Australia's Evatt pro posed that the smaller nations have the right to submit their objections and questions to conference sub committee composed of. four big powers and five small powers. This was all agreed to when suddenly the Texas Senator posed that the sub committee include France, making a total membership of 10 and thus definitely eliminating any chance of the Big Five" being out voted Delegates from the small nations, sighed, reluctantly yielded.

 Cadogan hemmed and hawed, finally gave some answers.
 Would you publish those ans wers so that we can all examine them closely?" Fraser asked.
 Cadogan finally agreed.
 Then up sprang Evatt again and in blistering language tore into the Big Powers right to veto even discussion of an incident. Lord Cadogan squirmed. Evatt was sup ported by The Netherlands, op- posed by the Czechoslovaks.
 Next day Evatt did some quiet lobbying, came to the evening ses- sion with new support. For the

on diplomats engaged in hammer ing out the United Nations peace machinery-especially when it comes to the veto powe~
 Suddenly they have come smack up, face-to-face with the fact that under the Yalta veto formula, their new peace machinery D could not prevent the French from shooting Arabs; @ could not investigate the quarrel between the French and the Arabs; and t3) could not eff fectively tell the French to stop shooting Arabs-unless the French wanted to be prevented, wanted to be investigated, or wanted to be scolded.
 Being a member of the Big Five" the French could exercise their right to veto and stop any real outside interference.
 The absurd paradox in the whole situation is that the U. s. State Department has been sending notes and oral protests to the French urging them to stop. But once the San Francisco peace machinery is set up, the State Department will have little right or power to lodge these protests.
 All this has been the subject of the stiffest secret debates at San Francisco They were held behind closed doors, where the protests of little nations nearly blew the roof off.
 What especially burned up the delegates was the contention that any of the Big Five" could even veto discussions and verbal pro- posals for settling a dispute. We don't mind a veto on a shooting match, because the Big Five" have to carry the burden on shooting" summed up Australia s External Minister Evatt at one closed-door meeting. What we do object to is a veto on talking match"
 All the small nations looked to ! France to carry the ball for them. But the French delegation ducked. The Syrian-Lebanon dispute was too hot and they wanted the right to veto any interference in it. Result was that Australias Evatt, who has turned out to be the most effective small nations operator at San Francisco, picked up the ball, gave the Big Five" a real run for their money. Evatt, a devoted dis ciple of President Roosevelt told friends he was convinced the late President would have agreed with him if alive. Evatt rallied number of smaller nations, started things off quietly at one of the committee meetings at which he had asked

DESERVING PAT ON THE BACK

Juneau's two service clubs-the Lions and the Rotarians-have just done themselves proud with a display of community service that well deserves the congratulations and thanks of all residents of this area We refer to the big task they jointly undertook and efficiently accomplished in dsassembling size able building obtained from the Army, moving large section of it from it's former Duck Creek location and re-erectng it on it's new site at Eagle River where It is made available for use by our Boy and Girl Scouts
 The Rotarians did the first part of the job. They pulled the apart and took of the moving Then the Liens took over and handled the rebuilding job All was accomplished in few weeks by the honest sweat of the clubs members Also sharing in our appreciation those members of either of the service groups who volunteered their efforts to the speedy completion of the task. Those who were unable to turn a hand on the Eagle River job will have their opportunity later when other sections of the original building to be erected at other sites one of them right here in the heart of Juneau.
 Thanks! We say it again--its good job, well done.

first time one of the Latin Am ericans sided with the Australian New Zealand Netherlands group, Stately Chilean Foreign Minister Joaquin Fernandez arose and said
 Doctor Evatt's attitude as to the veto is magnificent. All I can do is say that Chile agrees 100 per cent. Anything I could add would only confuse the issue
 But the interpreter watered down the Chilean's words. Provoked, Fernandez refused the translation, wrote out his speech for the record in English.
 Soviet Ambassador Gromyko then rose to say the smaller nations would have to trust the Big Five
 If the Big Five can't work to- gether, argued Gromyko, there will be no peace anyway"
 Despite this, the opposition slowly gathered steam. Canada, Belgium, Peru, Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador, Fl Salvador, Greece and Norway swung behind the repre- sentatives of Australia and New

HEART AND HOME

This is an suspicious date for max ing domestic plans and practical de- cisions concerning Summer recrea- tions. Young folks will be avid for change and amusement.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 International banking will absorb much attention in the business world. Secret but aggressive forces will seek selfish controls. Reaction ary influences will be felt in Wash ington, but needed changes in mone- tary matters are prophesied.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 New forms of propaganda will be cleverly disseminated to obtain soft peace for Germany. Sympathy for war criminals will be sought and }the United States will show signs of relenting where supreme penalties are demanded.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Pluto in the subversive twelfth house seems to warn of underground currents that Will a11ect all the Al lies except Russia, which will ex- ercise the utmost vigilance and prac- tice realism wherever foes are con- cerned Stalin is under sway that imparts farseeing impulses and pro- tects his country.

SUNDAY, JUNE 3

SUNDAY, JUNE 3
 Adverse planetary aspects are dominant today The stars are for tunate for the aged, especially for those in government offices.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women should benefit from the planetary influences today, which are stimulating but quieting to the nerves. Grandmothers should be fortunate under this sway as it com mands respect for their advice and experience.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 The national income is reaching it's peak and Government economies will be widespread. General pros perity will continue, although many more employees will be released from war industries.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Owing to much discussion of peace topics, public opinion will swing back and forth in regard to Uncle Sams responsibilities. The most powerful nation in the world must accept many financial burdens and must make frequent concessions in the es- tablishment of peace and the re- building of a shattered Europe, the seers declare.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Russia has accomplished wonders in the war and has attained great power. Astrologers point out that always from the east great changes are projected They counsel con- tinued cooperation with Stalin.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of advance ment in which friendships prove helpful.
 Children born on this day probably will be sensitive and high-strung, exceedingly intelligent and indus trious They should be prevented from scattering their interests.
