 DURING STORM

About $50 feet of the approach to the Douglas City Dock were demol- ished by the recent storm and the damage is estimated at between $50 1000 and S35,o00 The dock itself was also damage but not so ex- tensively
 The storm also took out the old ferry slip and gangplank.
 Douglas residents now look eagerly for the $12,000 recently asked to be appropriated by the Legislature for aid in dock maintenance.
 Repairs must be made, Douglas city officials state, as the cannery or the dock is expected to be oper- ated this season The cannery is one of the seasonal mainstays of the town.
 During the gale of Thursday night other minor damage was done, sev- eral windows being smashed, tele- phone and electric wires blown down and the garage across the street from the City Hall was completely demolished

Congressional Wraih
 Expressed on Housing
 Conditions, Washington

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-Capital old-timers are chuckling at the con gressional wrath over inability oi many of the new (and some olD members to get housing facilities here.
 The actual number of members left out in the cold isn't imposing About 30 members of the House and a mere handful of Senators were unable to get quarters, but the story doesn't end there. Secretaries and stenographers by the scores dis covered themselves unroofed. Many more have had to give so much time to house or room hunting that it's been impossible for them to check into the office for the all-important job of getting the new members off to good start.
 The reason old-timers are chuck ling is that it's something they have known all along and something that many have had to combat without congressional aid for long time.
 There may be worse housing prob- lems in some cities than Washing ton, but not so far as the nations lawmakers are concerned.

PLANE SET DOWN,

Daring Alaska Bush Pilot Makes Spectacular
 Landing, Cordova

CORDOVA, Alaska, Feb. 3-Al- aska bush pilots have always been famous for tricky flying, but Merle Smith, owner and chief pilot of the Cordova Air Service, came up Wlsh a new enc this week.
 Smitty was in the Interior lo days ago, freighting supplies ln a ski-equipped plane, and upon hls return here found there was no snow on the ground nor ice for the skis, so Smitty contacted Pilot Red Underwood over his own radio set to see if he could supply him with wheel equipment.
 Underwood was too busy, so, to save time and money, Smitty de- cided to put his skis down on the bare field. He knew he might damage the skis, but they could be replaced for a matter of 10 bucks.
 He therefore headed for the bare Cordova field, constructed of shale rock blasted from a hillside.
 Wise townspeople, seeing ski equipped plane circling the field, rushed out to watch the impending crack-up. But Smitty dipped his wings and, calmly winding up the stabilizer. settled to the field like 8 feather and came gracefully to "a stop.
 The metal bottom of the skis were scratched by the shale, but needed only polishing in local shop.

 A Berlin broadcast said bombers and fighters formed a sky-train stretching 300 miles to Berlin over the Dutch frontier
 The raid was the 204th on Berlin in which nearly 50,o0o tons of bombs have been dropped, seven times the amount the Germans dumped on Lcndcn in aerial blows.
 The attack today seemed to cause widespread confusion The regular German broadcasts were delayed for more than an hour and propa- ganda agencies seemed demoralized.

The W ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON u,t. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active
 service with the Army

WASHINGTON - several back stage developments point With al- most tragic certainty to a nation wide coal strike on April l, de- spite the present desperate coal shortage. They are:
 1-John L. Lewis has rejected the proposal of Hard Coal Ad- ministrator Ickes to continue the present coal agreement for another year.
 2-Lewis has also rejected Ickes proposal that negotiations for a new wage agreement begin earlier than March l, thus giving coal operators and miners more time to sign a contract.
 3-Within a few weeks, Lewis gigantic United Mine Workers Union finally will be taken into the American Federation of Labor, al which time several AFL leaders will back him in trying to break the Little Steel Formula on behalf of the miners.
 This latter point is where CIO- AFL rivalry comes in. CIO Chiei Phil Murray tried to up the Little Steel Formula on behalf of the steel workers, but failed. Now ii the AFL, through John L. Lewis can do what Phil Murray failed to do, even if it throws the entire country into an even more serious coal crisis, it will be regarded as a big victory.

 Nazi Radio Busy
 The German press and radio sounded the theme of Remember l91s," appealing to the Germans to stand firm against battlefield setbacks and Allied calls for sur render promising nothing
 The German newspapers declared "all of the enemy aims cannot be achieved if the German people have firm will and will not capi- tulate."
 Neutral reports. at the same time, said anti-Hitler posters and slogans are appearing on the walls in the large German cities.
 The Moscow radio said there is no doubt that panic is reigning in many sections"

by suspension of II aiming at Camp DAVIS.

Air Force And Camp Davis

The Army Air Force has been at consid.
cradle pains to explain its action in closing
Camp Davis as rehabilitation and redistribu-
had to provide for maximum load of re-
turnees and be prepared to distribute them
without delay. On this grounds Camp Davis
was included in its schedules and contracts let
for needed physical improvements.
When it was apparent that the returnees
were to be fewer than expected the AT Force
made resurvey of all sites available with
the object of determining which among them
could be abandoned and that Camp Davis
was placed on the list for closing down be.
cause by this means the contracts for i'm
provements there could be cancelled and mon
ey vaguely estimated at million dollars
saved.
The Air Force admits that it is justly subject
to criticism, in the first place for its indecision
with respect of Using Camp Davis, and now
for closing it out after reopening it and send
ing troops in only to transfer them elsewhere
But the Force claims that it's action is COM
menGable because it is saving the taxpay
erS' money and tor this reason tneTe Snoulo DC
no complaint.
1t sounds good when put tbs way but what
Wilmington would like to know is whether
the same decision would have been reached ii
the Air Force investigators had been as will
ing to consider Camp Davis advantages as
they obviously were to see only its disadvan'
tages, TO wit, that the remodeling program
was slow in starting and quarters and all
facilities for housing, eating and recreation
were not completed before the first troops ar
rived
Wilmington cannot discount the reports that
Camp Davis was not judged exclusively on us
merits.
