COPENHAGEN FIRED UPON
 BY GERMANS
Wdrship Crews Resist Dis armament -Danes CeIe-
 brdte Liberation

COPENHAGEN, May 5-German warships in Copenhagen's harbor opened fire with machine-guns, anti-aircraft guns and cannon on several sectors of the city today and sporadic clashes broke out when Danish Patriots sought to disarm the Nazis.
 The German cruisers, Prinz Eugen and Nuremberg, resisted the Patriots efforts to disarm sailors aboard the ships, and many persons were killed or wounded.
 At least 20 more persons were killed in the night throughout the city when the Patriots entered German barracks to disarm the Nazis, and in clashes with Danish Nazis in the streets.
 German officials in the telephone and telegraph offices threatened to blow up the building this morn ing. But the idea was abandoned when Danish personnel walked out, disrupting service for few hours.
 On the whole, the German troops appeared to have withdrawn to their barracks in accordance with the terms of equalization yesterday to Marshal Montgomery, but the arrival of Allied troops was eagerly awaited as quieting factor.
 Werner Best, German Minister in Denmark, placed himself in the custody of the Danish Freedom Council.
 Members of the Japanese diplo- matic staff from Berlin, who reached Copenhagen several days ago, were arrested by the Pa triots and interned.
 Six thousand members of the Danish police brigade, trained be- forehand for the day of liberation in Sweden, arrived from Malmo, Swedish port. early this morning.
 They were greeted by great crowds of Danes.
 News of the surrender of Ger man forces in Denmark to Marshal Montgomery was greeted with ju- bilation last night after five years under the German yoke.
 King Christian x, the 74-year-old Monarch who stiffly insisted upon Danish independence throughout the occupation, was reported to have designated former Premier Orla Buhl to organize a new gov- ernment to lead Denmark into the United Nations family.
 Buhls new government may take office some time today.
 When London broadcasts last night announced that at last Den mark was free, crowds swarmed into the streets happily.
 Singing groups marched toward the Palace Square and would not disperse until Kings representa- tive had come out and given them a word from the Monarch.
 Danish newspapers prepared to issue their first free editions since April 9, 1940, and booksellers dis played Allied literature.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5--For- eign Commissar Molotov was be- lieved seeking instructions from Premier Stalin today on two key changes in the Dumbarton Oaks World Security Plan.
 With these two exceptions - on provisions for reviewing interna- tional relations and fitting regional defense arrangements into the pro- posed World Security Council-the United States, Russia, China and Britain were reported in full &C., cord on Is or 20 amendments to the Dumbarton Plan.
 This plan was worked out in Big Four" meetings at Washington last year as the basis for world peace-keeping organization.
 The Big Four" agreement on so many points appeared to eliminate many sources of possible contro- versy from the remaining weeks of the United Nations Conference. However, it remains to be seen how progressively small nations will push amendments on which the Big Four" have not taken a position.
 Veto Powers Assailed
 Several delegations already have assailed the veto powers over peaceable or forceful settlement of disputes which the big nations would have in the Security Council.
 To compose their joint amend ments, the Big Four" Foreign Ministers Stettinius, Eden and Soong-worked intensively for two days in the penthouse apart ment which Stettinius occupies atop Mob Hill hotel. Their final session broke up just before last midnight - deadline for filing amendments with the conference secretariat.
 Here is what this penthouse di- plomacy is reported by one au- thority to have accomplished:
 Accomplishments
 The United States, Britain ano China agreed on an amendment which would give the proposed world organization authority te review any situation arising any where in the world which might bring about a war This is broader than the original proposal by Sen- ator Vandenberg, Republican, ol Michigan, member of the United States delegation, who asked onl. for power to review treaties.
 Molotov agreed in principle witt this proposition but was unabl' to go along with the other thre, immediately on the exact formula by which it would be put into tn, Dumbarton Oaks Charter.
 The United States, Britain ant China also reached an accord or such regional arrangements a Russias mutual assistance pac with France and the Inter-Ameri can defense system set up a Mexico City early this year. Again Molotov accepted tn principle but again asked for tim to consider the specific amend uept

LONDON, May 5.-Red Army forces liberated all of Slovakia yes terday and the Nazi High Command said Soviet Armor had launched a new drive west of Vienna, spearing toward a junction with American troops which would cut off the Austrian redoubt from Czechoslo- vakia.
 Russian troops smashed forward in powerful 10-mile gains against bitter German resistance in the Nazi Czechslovakian redoubt and staged big tank battle near Olmuetz tOlomouc), Moravian war produc- ton center.
 The entire province of Slovakia was freed of German troops by Mar shal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's Second and Gen Andrei I. Yeremenko's Fourth Ukrainian Armies, which rolled into Eastern Moravia in prep aration for drive toward Prague, Czechoslovak Capital
 The combined armies were smash ing toward Olmuetz along an 85-mile front east of the Morava River Val ley in push to throw back the Ger mans last big salient on the Eastern Front.
 Northeast of Olmuetz, troops of the Fourth Ukrainian Army captur- ed 1000 Germans and the road junction of Vitkow, 24 miles from Olmuetz.
 Eighteen miles to the south, where the German controlled Prague radio said that big tank battle was rag ing, troops of the Second Ukrain- ian Army lost and then regained Krenovice against violent German opposition.

Resistance Ends

PARIS, May Spiritually all re- , sistance to Gen. Eisenhower's forces ended today and Gen. Pat tons Third Army smashed into Czechoslovakia in a knockout of- fensive against the last German troops still fighting the Western Allies .in the south. Patton struck out, capturing Linz in Austria, after the First and Nineteenth German Armies sur rendered internationally to Gen. Jacob L. Devers' Sixth Army Group. The Eleventh Panzer Division, Germany's last full-rate armored force in the west. was among those quitting the battle.
 Supreme Headquarters said all resistance to Eisenhower on active fronts in which his forces were engaged had ended, save for single German Army, the Seventh, in Patton's territory.
 It was first announced that the surrender to Devers included the German Seventh Army, but Eisen- hover himseh issued statement an hour later correcting this. Field dispatches announcing the Patton offensive followed within another hour.
 The German Seventh Army has been opposing units of the U. S. First and Third Armies from Chemnitz south to Linz. The Seventh Army was thus pie tured in the headquarters an- nouncement as the only organized, active resistance to Eisenhower's forces. Norway and small pockets in France remained to be cleared. and the status of Norway is in imme- diate doubt.
 Norway Entered Norwegian and Russian troops have entered the northern section of Norway, and the German-con- trolled Scandinavian Telegraph Bu- reau predicted the Germans ca- pitulation there today. However. the Swedish Foreign Office said it re- garded this report as premature, and Puppet Premier Vidkun Quis- ling called on his countrymen for obedience.
 Today's was battlefield surren- der, like that which yesterday took the Germans in Holland. Denmark and northwest Germany, out of the war.
 The German-controlled Scandi- navian Telegraph Bureau said the Germans in Norway also were pre- pairing to give up today.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active

SAN FRANCISCO-A hot behind- the-scenes fight has developed in the Surplus Property Board which effects the industry of the entire nation, especially on the West Coast.
 It involves the disposition of sev- eral billion dollars worth of ma chine tools owned by the U. $. Government and loaned to big war contractors. How these machine tools are sold is going to spell the difference between concentration and diversification of industry for years to come.
 For instance, Henry Kaiser, the big West Coast boat builder, has ideas about going into the automo- bile business. He figures that if the West Coast can operate some of the biggest airplane factories in the nation, it can also build auto mobiles. The West Coast is dotted with airplane factories all the way from Seattle to San Diego and has skilled mechanics who will be out of jobs after the war. Therefore, Kaiser figures on taking up the slack by making automobiles.
 However, the first requirement of the automobile industry, or for that matter any other large-scale manu- featuring, is machine tools. Billions in machine tools soon will be dis posed of as surplus war property and the companies that get them will control the general peacetime production of the U. s. A. during the immediate years after the war
 If Henry Kaiser could lay his hands on a reasonable quota of the machine tools, for instance, he would have made an important step toward starting the auto in- dustry on the West Coast. If not it would take him two or three years to get other machine tools Meanwhile, Detroit would have a head start which would be difficult for him to overtake.

This is where the row inside the Surplus Property Board comes in. Ex-Senator Guy Gillette of Iowa, Chairman of the Board, believes that independent businessmen, such as Raised, should have chance to bid on these Government-owned machine tools.

force on April l, 1943. such raise Co be effective commencing June 23. l945
 The department heads themselves are not in line for immediate raise in salary. The salaries of such of ficiaIs are fixed by law and the in- ereases contemplated for them can not. under the Act, commence until June g, 1945.
 We now come to the important consideration of what is meant by the following language of the Act, all other Territorial employees"
 This is easily answered as to all officials who employ personnel to fill jobs
 The Appropriation Act for the new biennium shows certain in creases of appropriations for em- ployees salaries of 15 percent over the last biennium. That is true for the personnel of the offices of the GoYerntr. the Attorney General. the Auditor. the Treasurer. the Commissioner of Mines, the Com missioner of Labor, the Librarian and Curator, the Supervisor of Aer- onautics and Communications and the Adjutant General of the Ter ritorial Guard.
 As to school teachers, all are en- gagged an annual teaching contracts either by municipalities Or by the Commissioner of Education. There is no maximum fixed by law upon teachers pay and there is no D. rfoBIiation for specific jobs As far as the Territory is concerned the Commissioner of Education has a program to carry out and is allowed
 ump sum to do it. He will pay teachers or principals with special qualifications for particular posi- 4ious any salary over the legal min mum that their respective bargain ing powers can elicit under a pro cedure of proper school administra- ton. The same situation prevails for the University of Alaska.
 This perfunctory salary increase bin would hardly have been intend ed to directly affect the contracts of teachers. University faculty members and other University em- ployees or the employees of other comparatively independent estab- 1shments operating under lump sum appropriations, ito the abridge- ment of the control vested in the administrative heads involved.
 Other such establishments which, in my opinion and for similar req sons do not come directly under the salary act are the Pioneers Home and the Board of Road Com ,,,issioners in establishing salaries of highway patrolmen, ..
