they be writer's as Shakespeare and
Moliere and IbSen we're, leave little
when they die. 1t happens that the
art they work in is that of the spoken
word and gesture; and nothing is
more ephemeral than what is said
in language and in pantomime.
Thus nobody knows what manner
of man Richard Burbage was, ex-
cept as he is mentioned in the pre-
served papers of such of his con-
temporaries as kept notes of their
impressions of him. A similar
observation applies-to David Garrick
and Sir Henry Irving, to Sarah
Bernhardt and Eleanora Duse.
How then shall any individual now
younger than fifty understand what
ALA Nazimova meant to the theater
and it's public when she was at the
apex of her marvellous. powers? She
came to New York from Saint Peters,
burg in 1905, already celebrated in
Russia as an actress of the highest
distinction. The Shuberts persuaded
her to attempt the difficult business
of learning English in five months
She justified their confidence in her
debut in "Hedda Gabler" in the
autumn of 1906. Other roles in
which she starred were those of the
heroines of THE Master Builder, !"
"a Dolls House." "The Wild Duck, I"
bella Donna" and 1.-THE Marion
ettes." The achievement which won
for her the largest following, how
ever, was her Interpretation of the
principal character in war Brides"
1t was this triumph that led to her
career in the movies. When she
returned to the legitimate stage it
was to appear in "The Cherry
Orchard" "Katerina," "a Month in
the Country" Homecoming" and
Mourning Becomes Electra" Her
part in 1.-THE Good Earth" in 1882,
she declared, was her most satisfy
ing" experience.
The beauty and grace of Nazimova
always will be legend. Her diction,
too, will be cited by historians of the
stage. But those who never saw her,
never heard her speak, cannot COM
prehend her impact upon her epoch.
Only by hearSay will they know of
her, and hearsay is not good enough
for enduring immortality. So ALA
probably will be forgotten. When
she is spoken about in the distant
future, she will be mentioned only
as Mrs. Patrick Campbell and Minnie
Madden Fiske are mentioned-with
appreciation yet colorlessly. Mean
while, the dwindling minority of the
senior generation, moving like her
toward infinity, salute her with
gratitude which is not unmixed with
love and fellow-feeling beyond the
ordinary capacity Of the heart to tell.

Department last January when it
awarded the Distinguished Service
Medal to Colonel Hobby.
In the words of Colonel Westray
Battle Boyce, the able new director
of the WAC, history books will re-
cord Pallas Athene as its insignia,

japan Under Gunfire


mainland" the island of Honshu,
by our Third Fleet has manifold
significance. In the first place, the
boldneSS of the feat is outstanding.
This was no long-range Smelling by
the biggest guns of a feet keeping
well out at sea. The official de-
scription of the operation as in
volving cruisers and deStroyerS in
addition to battleShipS suggests that
It was carried out close inShore, SO
that guns of all calibers could join
in the bombardment for maximum
effect. This was insured and am
plified by major air support, indl-
eating the presence of numerous
carriers. And the amazing thing is
that there was slight japanese re-
sistance. No suicide dive bombers
appeared, antiaircraft fire was wild
and inaccurate, while naval defense
was entirely absent. This spells
complete local sea and air mastery
for our attacking forces.
Equally important is the objec-
tive. The bombardment centered
on the city of Kamaishi, often
called Japan's Pittsburgh. Situated
nearly 800 miles north of Tokyo, it
owes its prominence as a steel
producing center to its proximity
both to rich iron mines and to the
coal fields of Hokkaido, the north
ernmoSt island of the japanese
archipelago, whence fuel comes by
ship and by train ferried across the
narrow Tsugaru Strait, which sep
arates Hokkaido from HonShu.
That strait was likewise a prime
target for our flyers, and the ferry
terminals are reported demolished,
with heavy shipping losses. The
Kamaishi rolling mills having been
destroyed by combined naval and
air bombardment, this disruptS the
entire cycle of steel production in
Northern Japan.
Kamaishi is merely one of many
targets on the 4O0-mfle stretch of
coast which extends from the Tokyo
area northward to the Tsugaru
Strait. Unlike Honshu'S southern
Iittoral, which is indented by deep
bays or sheltered behind the land
locked Inland Sea, the northeastern
coast rises boldly from the Pacific
Ocean, all towns, rail lines and
highroads nesting along the shore
line under the steep hills immedl-
ately inland. This renders the en-
tire strip a vulnerable target for
naval bombardmentS, of which the
stroke at Kamaishi may be consid-
cred the first of series.
Psychologically, the effect of this
operation should be considerable.
Never before in Japan'S long history
has the sacred soil' of Honshu been
attacked in force from the sea. The
only previous attempt was made
centuries ago by a Mongol armada
from China, which was dispersed
by typhoon, called by the japanese
"Kamikadze, or the Divine Wind.
Although our feet suffered consid-
cradle damage in the typhoon last
month, it is still very much in
action. The Japanese can take note
that "the Divine Wind" has failed
them as signally as their human de-
vices. Obviously, their revered gods
are no longer on the job.

Ickes and Indians of Alaska
Portland Oregonian)

Portland Oregonian)
 One cannot but wonder how Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes' program to give Alaska back to the Indians be justified in relation to President Roose velt's statement. after visiting Adak, Kodiak and Juneau last summer, that he intended to "set up a study of Alaska as place to which many veterans of this war especially those who do not have strong home roots, go to become pioneers" And this wonderment is weighted with concern for the Presi- dent given Ickes free hand in Alaska and Ickes has gone overheard the side of historic sympathy with the poor Indian and the retention and enlarge ment of primitive areas.
 The development of Alaska's valuable resources its timber, oil power, agriculture, minerals, fish, and scenic attractionsso long neglected is vitaly connected with prosperity of the Northwest States But important is it that Alaska offers great opportunities to veterans of this war, than 100, coo of whom have been stationed there and have learned that Alaska is not the bleak and forbeiding northand of legend Yet Ickes' idea of Alaskan development is rigid control by Iekes all pros pectors, miners and minerals over fishing and the streams over forests and landsa government bureau cracy which makes development matter of political favor.
 Harold Ickes department was responsible for creation of six Indian reservations in Alaska in 1943 One of them in the Chandaar district is said to B Indians, and the number of is 100000 Hear ings have been held recently in Alaska and Seattle claims of about 200 Indians to virtually all the fertile and forested lands of Southeastern Alaska If these granted there is to believe that Indians and Eskmos may not successfully claim the rest of the Territory.

to have available to pay the bills and then adapt program accordingly? In other words, do we under take and then look around to see what we have to finance the undertaking.
 n We believe that MT. Wiese, and others, have been
 sead by the message of the Governor delivered last Thursday.
 He suggests program for spending, then a pro- gram for getting the money to pay for the program. His premise is that all of these things be pro- vided for in Alaska. And, he follows, if this is so then we must have these new taxes.
 But the premise upon which this taxation pro- gram is based is not necessarily proved. It has not been established that must have all of these things or that we even pay for them.
 MT. Wiese succeeds in putting forth the false impression in his talk that are opposed to all of these things that the Governor proposes for Alaska That is not Only fool would say that these things would not be fine for Alaska
 man who lives in a one-room shack is certainly not going to be opposed to living in mansion with 50 rooms and 57 bathrooms steam heat servants, swimming pool in the backyard and all of the other luxires he might desire.
 But the question is this: is the man in the shack going to be interested in the mansion if he is going to have to pay for and finds beyond his means?
 Mir Wiese thinks SO Not only that, he "has concluded that it merits endorsement (C1O) and the support of all of the common people of Alaska . that this program is what Alaskans need and what they recognize that they want .. that "in this all of us who make up the Little People of nation think alike
 If MT Wiese can convince the members of the Legislature that he has been appointed spokesman for all of the people and that all of the people think this way then the problem is certainly solved and there is no cause for any further discussion They have spoken through MT. Wiese

once again The Empire has come in for little name-callng And as we have pointed out many times in the past-t would be poor newspaper, indeed that followed policy everyone agreed with. So we expect these things from time to tine-and really enjoy them.
 On the front page of todays edition you will find the text for today
 We fail to see the Cordova orators criticism of the news treatment of the Governors message. Ger tainly the that he had proposed a new tax program for Alaska. And we also believe that we listed all of the points made in the Governors speech It waSfwith regret that unable to print the full text of the speech But its length prohibited this
 Neither could we see any personal attack upon the Governor None was intended
 We were happy to see that our assaiant did not wish to attempt to tell that paper what it's editorials shall say .." or apparently did not wish attempt influence infringe upon the freedom of the press by threats otherwise It nice of him to state all this while he came up with such accusations "copperhead viper isolationist com mercial press, monopoly abrogation of sacredness, and so on down the usual list.
 We will state at this time that such orgies of name-calng will not influence us or intimidate into giving up bit of right to present things as we see them and to argue editoriay for what we believe in for Alaska and against what do not believe in.
 MT Wiese is entitled to his opinions and to press opinions of the members of his organization.
 We believe that he came close to the crux of the taxation program proposed when he said;
 After allsno matter what in life we undertake, there are bills to pay. And matter what program is arrived at for the solution of Alaska's problems it is likewise going to have to be paid for"
 Is that the way we live?
 Do we first arrive at program, then pay the bills? Or do We first decide how much going

 MT. Jones: Well, I don't know what you call experts.
