2nd. Div. Program In C of C Booklet

The NUGGET printing depart ment has just recently completed a booklet on the Needs of North western Alaska, and which has been submitted to the Second Division delegation to the 17th Session of the Alaska Legislature.
 In an interview with MT. A. Polet, Chairman of the Commit tee on Legislation of the North western Alaska Chamber of Com merce, he stated: 'sWe wish to invite every citizen who is inter- ested in the future welfare of our section to call either at the NUGGET office or at Polet's Store for a copy of the booklet. "We suggest that everyone study our needs. If it meets with your approval, write to yocr Senator or Representative at Juneau and tell them about it. If there are parts that you do not agree with tell us and also send your crit icisms to them
 sfThis Is the beginning of the compilation of the needs of our division. We feel that we should not expect results from this ses- sion as the war effort requires our full attention, but as we have begun, we shall add and modify our program so that by the next session of the legislature we will be fully organized to assist in the
  development of our industries which have been stunted by the war"
 MT. Polet stated further that in the compilation of this booklet there may be items that reflect on individuals and institutions, but he wishes to be understood that it is entirely impersonal, for the benefit of the majority and furtherance of the best interests of Northwestern Alaska.

Ike Played ByNovyM
 Part of Testimony
 On Merger Attacked

Washington, Nov. 30 - CUP) - Assistant Secretary of the Navy H. Struve Hensel charged today that part of Gen. Dwight D. EisenhoWer's s testimony on the Army-Navy mer- ger issue was pure fantasy
 Hensel appeared before the Sen ate Military Affairs committee. He bitterly attacked merger testimony of Eisenhower and former assistant secretary of War John J. McCloy.
 After accusing the War Depart ment of setting up a party line for merger, Hensel said:
 Gen. Eisenhower ventured a flash guess that we could be militarlly stronger with an expenditure of only 75 per cent of the money if we had one department instead of three de- partments-which to large extent we had during the war.
 ITO support General Eisenhower's flash guess would have required proof of savings of some $66, 0o0,- OOO
 ITO have saved billions of dollars, and particularly some $66,000, ,0OO,- 900 above the savings effected (through excess profits tax and re- negotiation of contracts) is to enter the realm of pure fantasy

Boston, Nov. 29.-OP)-President Truman urged greater harmony be- tween various regions of the nation flor the good of the whole Ameri- can community"
 In a message saluting the New England councils 21st annual con- ference, MT. Truman said:
 All too often in the past, sec tionalism has brought discord and even tragedy into our national life because it was based on a desire to advance the interests of one sec tion by political and economic pres sures at the cost of other sec tions."
 Read to 1000 Men
 The Presidents message which was read to 1000 business men said that the nation twill make greater progress towards economic health and inter regional harmony if we decide what each region can give to other regions for its own econ- omic benefit and for the good of tne whole American community"
 MT. Truman congratulated New England lon the notable contribu- ton you made toward winning the war;" and expressed confidence that you will contribute in the same way towards a prosperous fu- ture for the nation
 He said the six-State area has the ''enviable reputation throughout the country" as being the source of high quality products.
 Interested in Hearing
 If I were present at your con- ference" the President said, T should be interested in hearing how you intend to turn to account this reputation for the greater benefit of New England and the other economic regions of the United States"
 MT. Truman said he also would be interested in learning the coun- cils plans for enhancing the cul- tural and scenic advantages of New England by means of housing de- velopments, new appropriations for public education and recreation and other types of social advancement.
 Developments of this kind are to every region that wants to attract new residents and hold its own young men and women, ne said.
 Gov. Mortimer R. Proctor of Yer mont told the group that New Eng ls.nd "won victory in having the Federal Flood Control Act of 1944 amended to give the states a voice in flood control construction within their borders.
 Responsibilities Obtained
 "Howeverd, We must not be un- mindful that with the return of this right, we have also been handed responsibilities" Proctor said.
 He said that i've in Vermont are certain that failure on our part to take our rightful place in this (flood controD plan will be an in- vitation for a reversal of congress sional policy in favor of a program

observing preparations for the at tack, one of the Army'S outstand- ing soldiers, It. Gen. Lesley J. McNair, was killed by misdirect- en bombs of our own air force. Though his loss was a tremendous shock to our divisions, which he had organized and trained, he un- doubtedly died in the way he pre- ferred-in battle. General Mo Nair was utterly fearless.
 The break-out gave General Eisenhower an opportunity to de- liver mighty blows at the shaken enemy. At the height of this action he wrote:
 My entire preoccupation these days is to secure the destruction of a substantial portion of the enemy forces facing us. Patton's Third Army, on the marching wing of our forces, is closing in as rapidly as possible. His depIoy- ment through the bottleneck near Avranches was exceedingly diff cult but we have now got the strength on that wing to proceed definitely about our business. We have detatched only one corps for the conquest of the Brittany Pen lnsula so as to have the maximum forces for the main battle. With in a week there should be real developments on the present front"
 Speedy Campaign Successful
 He seized his opportunity, di- recting a vigorous pursuit of the shattered German forces. There followed campaign which for speed and boldness has few paral- lels. Following the First Ar1ny's break-through, the Third Army, under General Patton, utilizing a heavy preponderance of armor, thrust foreWard from the Av- raiches breach on 2 August and cut off the Brittany Peninsula by 6 August. isolating the bulk of the 2nd Parachute and 265th, 266th and 343rd German Infantdy Divi- sions. The next move was to es- tablish a southern flank along the Loire to protect our main effort heading eastward against attack from the south. These were pre- paratory moves. While they were in progress, General Hodges First Army and the British Second Army were repulsing and crush ing heavy attacks which the en- my launched in the desperate hope of driving a wedge to the sea through Avranches to cut off Gen. eral Patton's forces.
 On 13 August the Third Army swept north from Le Mans around the southern flank of the German Normandy position in the direc- tion of Argentan. Simultaneously, Canadian forces of the British Second Army drove south from Caen toward Falaise. This pincers movement created the "Falaise pocket" in which 100000 enemy troops were captured, thousands more were killed or wounded, and thousands more thrown into disorder as they escaped toward the Seine through the "Falaise- Argentan corridor" held open by desperate German resistance. The Germans realized that the battle for Normandy was lost and they began withdrawing beyond the Seine under heavy pressure from both the ground and the air. The Seine crossings were raked by fighter patrols. Turning eastward from Le Mans and Argentan, the Third Army raced for the river with such speed that supply by air was often necessary to main tain its momentum. By the cap ture of Nantes on IS August the German escape route was con- fined to crossings of the lower Seine northwest of Elbeuf.
