 AHofher Arrest ordered
 Two additional directives were passed on today to the' Nipponese government, burdened with heavy day of order taking. One called for the arrest of Nobuyuki Abe, former Governor-General of Korea, and the other demanded complete demobili- ization of the Japanese Naval police force before October 31.
 Vice Premier Konoye told cores pon6ents that the constitution pro- hihits the Emperor from abdicating. but he added that Hirohito might step down from the throne in the event of illness. In that case, a regent would serve until Hirohito's death. then the crown prince would inherit the throne--the procedure followed in the case of Hirohito's father in 1924,

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. a. E. A. Rasmuson, Chairman of the Board of the Bank of Alaska, says there is definite need" for dir eet air route between Alaska and tie Middle West
 Rasmuson, an Alaska resident 41 years, termed Seattle's opposition to Q midwest route recommended by the Civil Aeronautics authority ire gretable."
 "Its ridiculous" he asid, ito re- quire Alaska business originating or destined for the east to go through Seattle. One might as well compel Seattle business with the East to come through San Francisco.
 Such procedure is economically unsound.'
 Rasmuson, visiting here from his Skagway home, added that Seattle's opposition is hurting Alaska direct ly and Seattle indirectly and cer- tainly cannot represent Seattle or it's Lest men
 Rasmussen termed more regret able" opposition to the inland route "by some Alaskans," adding that this is not to Alaskas credit. It is merely a hangover of the old con- plaint that Alaskans do not pull to- gether"
 Rasmuson said that new coastal aif routes, Alaska to Seattle, an in- land air route, a coastal Seattle Alaska highway, plus present water facilities twill bring hundreds of thousands of tourists, investors, home-seekers and future citizens who in time will make Alaska one of the great states of the Union"

 PACIFIC x GOAL

MANILA, Sept. 22-Approximate- ly 750000 servcemen in the western Pacific may be sent home by the first of the year. That's the goal tentatively set for replacement centers in the Philippines.
 Even in official circles there is plenty of doubt that the goal can be reached, but everybody's hoping for the best.
 Right now there are more than 10000 men waiting in the two prin- oipal Philippines replacement de- pots for transportation home. And the universal question is Will there be enough shipping? That seems the only bottleneck.

NO CHANGE IN. LIQUOR STORE
 CLOSING HERE.
Council Tables Petitions for Later Hours, for
 Sunday Lolk-up

Presented with conflicting peti- tions on the matter of liquor store and bar closing hours, the City Council last night disposed of the question-at least for the time be- ing = by tabling both.
 The Councils non-actioI leave the liquor hours just as they have been since the last ordinance set them in Februar.i
 Liquor store operators, who had brought up the whole issue with a petition for later closing times, were happy enough to let matters rest after they escaped a threat of total clamp down on Sunday. Those lined up on the other side also appeared content, feeling they had scored a victory.
 Reading of the liquor operator petition was followed by persenta- tion of the second petition by Mrs. Harold Smith Her document asked all day closure on Sundays. It was
  dents, mostly women, and was en- dorsed by the Juneau Womans Club. Following general discussion by spectators and Council members, Councilman Ed Nielsen made the opening move. He proposed an amendment to the present ordinance that would have eliminated the li- quor business hours now authorized on Sundays from l o'clock D. m. un- til midnight.
 After second by Councilman Harry Lea, vote showed only Nielsen and Lea favoring.
 Laid On Table
 Councilman R. H. Williams then proposed, and Lea seconded, the mo- tion that carried-that both petitions be laid on the table.
 A second motion by Councilman Nielsen, to submit liquor hours to expression by the people at the next election, failed of a second.
 Mayor Ernest Parsons and Council
  desire to wait and see how well op- orators of liquor establishments CO., operate with the intent of the pres ent ordinance" toward improving current conditions If action is later thought needed, it can still be talk en before election time, they agreed. Speaking from the audience for Sunday closure were: The petition sponsor, Mrs. Harold Smith; the Rev. Willis R. Booth; the Rev. Rob- ert s. Treat; Dr. J. O. Rude; Attor- ney M E. Monagle, and cocktail bar operator Earl Forsythe upheld the other side
 Mrs. Smith declared the signers of her petition represented the thought of the most respectable citizens" of Juneau. No attempt had been made to canvass the entire city or many more signatures could have been se- cured, she declared.
 The Rev. Booth centered his re- marks on the thought that the ma- Ol kNOpiC III dlc llOb satisfied with the moral level we now have"
 Doctor Talks
 Dr. Rude declared that his profess sion brings him into contact with "the tail end of the effects of liquor" He expressed his idea that those in the business of destroying should be asked to fix" suggesting that sellers of liquor contribute to- ward "a place for recovery of those who get too much"
 A possible horrible example" of the effects of over indulgence in al- coholics narrowly missed his cue. Prominent among the spectators in the early stages of the Council ses- sion was 'one who had quaffed long

WASHINGTON-Chief topic Of conversation at the recent closed dcor caucus of House Republicans was President Harry Truman. Had he been there, he would have dis liked some of the references to him, but he would have felt pleased to note how strong man the Re- publicans think he is.
 For a dozen years, Republican sessions featured vitriolic outbursts against the late President Roose- welt. For a time after Truman went to the White House, little was heard about him in the secret dis cussicns. But now the Republicans have decided that they have just as dangerous an enemy in the White House as when FDR was there.
 Representative Charley TIalleck of Rensselear, Ind, summed it up this way near the close of the session:
 We've got to quit electing Tru- man. The way we're operating here. the only fight Truman will have in 1948s will be within his own party-the fight between the Demo- crats and the Commucrats."
 Plenty of vitriol was thrown on Truman from all sides. He's just as determined to give America away to England and the others in Europe as Roosevelt was" shouted reactionary Howard Buffett of Omaha, Neb. He referred to Tru- man as Harry Truman Fender gast"
 We're in a situation now where it's practically suicide to stand up and make a speech for America" howled Frederick Doe" Smith, of Harding's home town, Marion, Ohio.
 Several analyses of Truman were made, with a strong feeling that he is a more dangerous man than Roosevelt because he is not as fortnight as Roosevelt.
 He has learned at the Fender gast school" said Nebraskas Buffet, and he has learned to appear modest and honey"
 Among other crimes the COP holds against Truman is the fact that he is not a college man-all his simplicity and his lack of polish merely mask a sharp political mind which, in its way, is just as dan- gerous to the COP as was Roose- velt-if not more so.

In the wildly hysterical discus
sion OF the atomic bomb, there is,
as usual. more propaganda than
Silence, more abuse OF the public
intelligence than explanation OF his
torical trends. The argument
seems TO be that as another war is
around the corner, We should:
(a) Keep the bomb secret;
(bJ Give the bomb TO the world
so that no one will use 1t against
US when they discover 1t for them
selves.
Both arguments assume that an.
other war Is In the offing. As only
Soviet Russia is physically capable
OF making war on US, It Is apparent
that our nerves are being sprayed
with two acids:
/. That II we are not good, the
Russians will make war on us;
2. That the Russians will make
war on us sooner or later.
At any rate, anyone who reads
must reach the conclusion that
willy-nilly this country is to be
bombed out OF existence;
(a) Unless we give Russia the
atomic secret;
(b) II We give Russia the ato-
mic secret.
This argument goes into the
situation over the separation Of
troops. when is extraordinarily
slow. The argument is that II the
Army Is to be demobilized quick
ly, the Russians won't be afraid of
use and therefore will make war on
US. and that argument is used In
spite OF the amazing spectacle OF
our ability to raise an armed force
OF 100000 and to create a war
time Industrial establishment that
defeated the Germans and Japa-
nese-the latter practically single
handed.
So those who are terribly hys-
terical say that the Russians will
press I couple OF buttons and blow
us to hell. ignoring the fact that
this country will have a couple NJ
buttons OF its own, and that as
things stand we have the bomb
at the cost Of $4,000, 000, 900 and the
Russians do not.
Then there are those who argue
that all bets are of as TO peace,
that San Francisco is Pre-Atom
and therefore is out; that Breton
Woods is also P. A. and therefore
out. Most OF these soothsayers
were the Breton Woods and San
