TWO PAN AMERICAN OFFICIALS HERE ON POSTWAR BUSINESS

1 Sydney D. Smith, Sector Man ager for Pan American Airways, and J. V. Roscoe, Assistant Sector Traffic Manager, have arrived here , to attend the Civil Aeronautics Board meeting tomorrow. They plan to spend a week or so here in Juneau and attend to business matters that have arisen at the Pan American office here. The main object of their visit, which will take in their offices in Fairbanks and Nome, is the postwar planning for the coming tourist travel. Pan American has an extensive sales organization all over the United States and plans for expansion are already being made ] The general public is already conscious of the lure of Alaska" but, as MT Roscoe pointed out, accommodations, travel, entertain ment, etc, is still a mystery and the time to start educating the public is now.
 | Proof of the consciousness of Alaska by the public is the Time Magazine survey of 1,500 subscrib- CTS, picked at random. This survey asked three questions in regard to countries out of the United States How many have visited. 1 2-How many expect to visit in the next five years.
 Slow many hope to visit. ' On question No. 1 in this survey, Alaska stood in fourteenth place; on question No. 2, Alaska took third place, and on No. 3, Alaska stood in first place, taking 35 per cent of the total.
 i Roscoe and Smith will also look over the new office facilities, which will be in the Baranof Hotel, opening sometime about May Is. They also announced they would be interested in talking to anyone in Juneau who is interested in the question of the proposed terminal building at the Juneau airport.
 To date, II trips week are being made in each direction be- tween Fairbanks and Seattle. The schedule, however, will be eX- banded about the middle of May to two trips daily

could air their grievances.
Stain Talks BluntIy,
The Soviet leader is reported to
have asked what contribution Ethi-
opla or Haiti could offer for the
maintenance of world peace. He
told his associates bluntly that
peace could be maintained by force
and that there need be no fear of
wars, revolutions or political dis
turbances, so long as the three
strongest nations stick together.
In the end, Premier Stain Weld
ed to the appeals of President
Roosevelt and agreed to send a dele
cation to the San Francisco meet
ing.
But those who participated at the
last dramatic session at Yalta came
out with the impression that the
Russian premier put little faith in
the "palavers" of the many lawyers
and diplomats who would make up
the bulk of the committees and that
he consented to send Foreign Com
missar Vyacheslav Molotov only be-
cause 1t would help his British and
American colleagues to enlist public
sentiment in favor of an interna-
tlonal organization.
Premier Believes in Power
Stain has demonstrated in the
past that he believes in power and
has little respect for anything else.
He genuinely cannot visualize main
tenance of world peace with the
assistance of countries which have
only meager resources at their dis
posal.
All the commitments agreed on
at Yalta have not yet been revealed.
But from that which is known now
1T is obvious that within less than
week after that historic confer
ence ended, the agreements, as we
understood them here, were subject
to doubt.
The Romanian question, which
had been covered up by our State
Department until it broke into
print through an "indiscretion. :"
was the first indication that Russia
has not abandoned unilateral action.

of meeting Russian troops for the
first time.

dumbfounded when told: 1--WE must
take Paderborn tomorrow night"
Now his columns are slipping like
titanic snakes around the city. They
ploughed through fields, across riv-
ers and mountains. Scattered op-
position broke like eggshells in
front. 1t is too early yet in the
confusion of the campaig, to give
an adequate picture of this weird
day which promises to become a
classic in the annals of armored
warfare.
The push from near Marberg,
farthest east, reached the Allied
troops on the northern front at
dawn in the rain. Much Of the day
was somewhat like a picnic in
wooded New England mountains
a wet spring day. We rolled mile
after mile through dank woodlands.
Stately spruce and leafless beeches
were light purple in the rain.
Miles of silence were broken only
by the rumble of tanks and the
bowling of dogs. We passed through
villages of children-scowling, silent
children. Troops of little boys gath
cred at village corners, little war
baby boys already showing the per-
of their fathers.
People Told to Hide.
Their elders were all hidden away
behind white flags in their windows.
German orders to evacuate when
the Allies were approaching have
been rescinded. The people now are
told TO stay and hide.
In every town and along the road,
constant groups Of Russian, French
and Italian slave labor came out of
hiding, the dapper French still
wearing their brown uniforms and
saiuting snappily, smiling with pa
thetic happiness. Black-booted
Russian women threw kisses. This
was the biggest day of liberation
yet fer these pathetic people.

for our column but at the sides there

blasted fuel depots, shot down at
least eight enemy planes and de-

Gasless Planes Abandoned.
Front-line reports said that the
Nazis were abandoning airflelds full
of gasless planes in Central and
Western Germany in the face Of
the Allies ceaseless air lombard
ment Commenting on these reports
an 9th Air Force staff officer said,
That should be a natural result"
of the Allied air campaign.
March was record month for
both the 9th Air Force based in
Britain and the 18th Air Force in
Italy. and both American groups
had major role in new onslaughts
against railyards, war plants, syn
thetic oil facilities and submarine
pens.
Eighth Air Force bombers alone
slammed more than $4,000 tons Of
explosives and incendiaries on the
Reich during March-an average
rate of 200 tons every daylight hour
every day of the month.
The biggest previous month for
the Britain-based American force
was June, 1914, when more than
$4,000 tons of bombs were dropped,
mostly on targets in France in pre-
pairing the way for the invasion Of
Normandy.
The 18th Air Force dropped more
than 1000 tons of bombs during
March more than in any previous
month by the Mediterranean Stra-
tegic Air Force.

surprised garrisons tried to man
guns at the Crossroads.
This section of Germany has been
practically untouched by war, max
ing a strange contrast with the
scenes of the last three days. The
first crops were sprouting. For the
people, our advance was a most sur
prising interruption of life's routine
but word spread ahead fast.
Great Fires Light Sky.
Dusk started weird night as
We dashed on through burning viii
lagos, the column crashing across
flaming timbers in showers OF
sparks. All around one village
great fires were burning, lighting
the overcast sky. We didn't know
the meaning of these fires. Perhaps
a sniper nest was fired by our ad-
vance troops. Perhaps the houses
were fired by the Germans them
selves as signals.
Miles of road were cluttered with
debris as the German defenders fed
and many bodies lay in the bitches
Prisoners were everywhere as the
enemy surrendered quickly after a
token fight.
In one village, as prisoner was
loaded into truck, his wife
rushed out, kissed him and slipped
something into his hand A sus-
picious MP found he had a handful
of American cigarette butts. His
wife had gathered them from the
mud on the street.
The MP let him keep his Gig
arctic butts, commenting, Il have
nothing against this poor devil, but
wait till I lay my hands on my
uncle. He's German major"
We saw our first contingent OF
German WAC prisoners-women
soldiers working at the captured
airport as telephone and gas pump
operators. Their uniforms were
scanty but they wore high army
boots.
Has Grievance Against MPs.
Each girl was proud she had re-
placed a soldier but surprised when
all 40 of the women were thrown
into prisoner of war camp and
treated just like the men.
One very intelligent red-haired
girl, a former professional photog-
rapher whose sweetheart had been
killed recently on the Russian front
said her chief grievance against the
MPs was that they took away her
nail polish and nail file. This was
necessary as she might kill herself
with either.
But it's an international urge for
all girls to look pretty, isn't it?" she
protested.
These girls get a base pay of 80
marks (about $10) a month, but
are given extra pay so that their
income will be equal to what they
earned in civilian life. They also are
given all upkeep, so they are actually
better paid than American WACS
But former professional dress
maker explained they lost money
because 'in calculating their real
income the Army assumed they
didn't cheat on their income tax
which everybody did"
The girls said they weren't afraid
of the consequences of capture be-
cause they expected chrivalrous
treatment and would ultimately &c
