MEMORIES OF THE WEEK

The past week has left with us lots of memories, most of them pleasant, a few just the opposite We've space here for only three or four: Our long to be remembered regret over saying goodby on a single night (Monday) to five such attractive girls as Jane English, Mona Everitts, Margaret Femmer, Mary Sperling and Dot Thibodeau, leaving Juneau for college in the States.
 And, on the other hand, the pleasure all of us on the club staff have had in welcoming back to town an old friend in the person of one-time soldier now civilian Bill Gates, of Seattle, genial and smil- ing as ever, who seems to be find- ing the USO as much to his liking as he used to during his days in uniform.
 And our keen enjoyment last night in listening to the fascinating rhythms on the piano as played by Arnold Skenandore, Navy man from West De Pere, Wis, giving us one of the most pleasing musical treats the club has experienced in long while.
 And the fine compliment paid an old friend of ours (and of just about everyone else in the whole town, it appears) in the display of affection with which U. B." Bry- ant, member of Headquarters Com pany, took his leave last week, due soon to be discharged from the Army and headed home where everyone wishes him all the best of everything always.

RECEPTION TO TEACHERS

The resumption of school Tues day was viewed with mixed emo- tions. no doubt, on the part of all young people returning to then books. We know many who are very happy about it. We know a few others who profess extreme sadness over the prospect of an- other year of exposure to educa- tion.
 Down here at the USO we find ourselves whole -heartedly allied with the first group. It isn't, we confess, that we are any more inherently virtuous or more in- clined toward self improvement than the next fellow or that the idea of the daily classroom routine has the slightest appeal to this naturally lazy disposition of ours. No in fact, it's just the re- verse. It's the teachers time spent away from the classroom that appeals to usl
 What we are getting at is this :: We always are eager to solicit new feminine interest in the USO. Each additional girl who comes to the clubhouse makes it just that much more of an attractive and interest ing spot for our servicemen. Now, in this first week of the new school year with a number of new teach CTS having just arrived in Juneau

NATIONAL WAR FUND

I've been in the Navy for al most four years now. In that time I've managed to get nearly over the whole world, it seems. Some how or other until this evening I'd never been in a USO before. But now I sure wish I had, because tonight for the only time since l entered the service you've made me feel that I'm not just another fellow in a uniform but that I'm an individual person that amounts to something really important. You've no idea how good that makes me feel I thank you for that, more than I can say!'
 The young sailor was bidding the man at the USO goodby. The look in those fine blue eyes, the steady grip of that hand, under scored the sincerity of his voice.
 The man has heard few words spoken in the USO that have made the impression upon him made by that phrase he heard just last week-"an individual person that amounts to something really im- portant." And when he heard those words he was aware that here was the true essence of the most sig nificant thing at all (by far the most significant thing about the USO.
 To the millions of men in the armed services the USO has meant recreation, entertainment, food, fun, companionship, important things all of them to his well-being. Yet each of these was something done for him. The thing that was done to him was the establishment in his heart of the certainty that he mattered enough as an individual person to be entitled to all this.

SAYS WAR CRIMES
 WERE DICTATED BY
 NAzI GOVERNMENT

LONDON, June 2--Lt. Col. J. V. Hodgson. U S. representative on the War Crimes Commission, said today that certain types of war |crimes, apparently were dictated by the Axis Governments as matter of policy.
 He made the assertion in sueech to a closed session of the Remember commission, and it was viewed as supporting general belief that the victorious powers would try to pin war guilt on Axis Governments as such on a blanket basis.
 His address, part of which was released through the Ministry of h. formation, urged the establishment of National Recording Office in London to coordinate the separate findings of the member Nations in their investigations of war crimes.

AIRDR0ME5 ON kYU5HU
 HARD HIT
Trains Reported Sirafed in New Aiiatk 7 Tokyo
 Residents Dig In
By Jeff Erickson Associated Press War Correspondent

'Associated Press War C0rrespondent)
 GUAM, June 2-Carrier raids on Japan were renewed today. Tokyo radio reported, in the wake of B-29 fire raids which have inflicted 'shockingly great damage on Nip- pon's major industrial cities.
 Tokyo reported approximately 200' sea-borne fighter planes and an unannounced number of flying boats from bases in the Kerama Islands bombed and strafed air dromes on Kyushu Island for two hours this morning.
 Some raiders also straffed trains in their attack on, the most south- erly island of Nippon. Tokyo said.
 The report followed other enemy broadcasts saying Superfort fire raids on Tokyo had forced the capitals residents to dig subter- ranean homes and predicting mar tial law might be declared to meet devastation inflicted by B-29's.
 Airmen returning to the Mari anas Islands bases from the latest incendiary attack. made on Japai,'s second largest city by more than 450 Superforts yesterday, reported 1t was so effective that the heart of Osaka seemed to be burning out"
 All agreed results were excellent. Some veteran fire raiders placed it among the most successful B-20 raids on Japan.
 The entire city was covered by cloud of smoke so huge4 that the last waves had trouble finding their targets.
 Ten Superforts failed to return. About 36 Tinian- based B-29's landed on Two Jima because they were short of gas. They burned up all their fuel climbing to get out of bad weather on the way to Osaka.
 Losses were attributed largely to intense anti-aircraft fire. Japanese interceptors that weren't routed by 150 escorting American Mustang fighters were timid.
 Japanese airmen did try new crude chain and bucket weapon ln an attempt to bring down the big bombers.
 One commander of Saipan-i based plane, said a Japanese fighter dropped a device made of two cyi- finders about the size of paint buckets linked together by nine- foot chain. The Nipponese released the device about TOO feet above Pearson's plane.
 The pilots aim was bad" Pear son said. and the thing dropped several hundred feet behind us"

 FROM DIV STUDIES
 IN pAC. NORTHWEST

After two weeks of intense study all over the Pacific Northwest, de- voted to determining possibilities for immediate postwar development of wood-using industries in Alaska, Re- gional Forester B. Frank Heintzle- man returned north to his head quarters here by plane yesterday.
 MT. Heintzleman examined poten- tialities of everything from cedar shingles and poles, including timber preservation and furniture manu- facture from yellow cedar, up through plywood and pulp and paper manufacture. He reported that no doubt establishment here of some of them will be eventually consummated, but not until general conditions have more nearly return ed to normal.
 The Forester stated that he ex- poets some groups of men inter ested in setting up in Alaska will visit the Territory this summer, to look into its possibilities.

DAMASCUS STRIFE IS

Fighting Ended Late Yes. terddy-Building Bear Gunfire Marks

DAMASCUS, June 2 Every building in the center of the city from the French delegation edifice today bore the marks of gunfire from the French-Syrian fighting which ended late yesterday.

 Telephone. telegraph and over head trolley lines are down every where. There is no electricity and food is scarce.
 British and Syrian patrols, the latter almost too battle-weary to stand, were maintaining order in the streets, where crowds publicly burned two French cars yesterday
 The dead still were lying on the streets in some places and the number of casualties will not be known for some time
 The city, however, was in excited good spirits as the result of the cessation of hostilities yesterday and President Shukri Quyatli de- scribed the inhabitants as the happiest people ever seen ill the long history of this city,

CRACKING DOWN ON
 GERMANS
Fifty Former Ndzis to Be Shot for Every Attempt
 on Red Army Man

LONDON, June 2.-Indicating the appearance of anti-Russian activity in the area of the shattered Ger man capital, Arthur Werner, the Soviet-appointed Mayor of Berlin, has warned Germans that 50 former Nazis would be shot for every at tempt on the life of Red Army soldier or Russian official.
 Meanwhile, an Associated Press dispatch from Geneva quoted Emil E. Boesch, International Red Cross representative just returned from Berlin, as saying some 500,000 dis placed persons and 100000 Allied prisoners of war still were milling about in the central area of Berlin and needed prompt inter-Allied aid to avoid starvation and epidemics.
 The Russians are attempting en- ergetically to restore order in Ber- lin, Boesch was quoted in the Gen. eva dispatch. He added that the Russians were swamped by the mag nitude of the relief problem, and that the Russians lacked sufficient food, medicines and transportation to handle the job.
 Boesch suggested that relief could be facilitated if relief agencies could be permitted to pass freely back and forth across the line of de- marcation between the Russian and British American occupation zones.

POPE PLUS LA5HE5 OUT
 AT NAzII5M

VATICAN CITY, June 2 = Pope Plus XII today declared "the war in Europe is over It is said that those who take the sword will perish by the sword The entire world today is supplied by the ruins. We had foreseen these ruins"
 Then the Pope dashed out at Naziism in Germany, calling it a satanic influence. He said the church did what it could to keep the Nazi regime on the right path when it was still uncertain what evil course the Nazis would take. And he said that the concordat with Germany never indicated that the church in any way approved the ways of the Hitler Government.
 The Pontiff added that the Nazis had fought against the church, oppressed the conscience of citizens and had otherwise indulged in per- secution.
 The Pope expressed his views to- day in an address before the Col lege of Cardinals. He declared that small and big nations want their liberty-that after their share in the victory, they do not want a new system of oppression.
