pAk PLANS EXCHANGE
 FOR ALASKA
Airways Officials Here Re-
 veal Plans for New Service

By the end of this year or early next spring Jun 9auites should be able to fly to Seattle in three-and- a-half to four hours flying time at cost of about $50, according to L. c. Reynol Ids, manager of the Pa- cificAlaska Division of Pan Amer ican World Airways.
 PAA now has on orGer new CO., passenger Lockheed Consultations for the Alaska service. Reynolds said, and the firt should be on the run around the end of the year. The new ships will cruise at 300 miles per hour and schedules will call for three round trips daily during the summer, two daily during spring and fall, and one round trip daily during the winter months.
 Under the mass transportation system, Reynolds stated, travel costs between Juneau and Seattle and other Alaskan points will be cut to about five cents per mile.
 Fares Cut
 The company this week reduced fares between here and Seattle by $10.
 Speaking at dinner for Juneau business men and city officials last evening, the Pan American executive said that his company anticipates a tctal of 34.0oo air passengers year between the States and Alaska in the postwar period. This compares with a total of 19,000 first class fares for all types of transportation be- fore the war
 The world airways also has on order a number of Douglas Aircraft DC-7s for serving a route over AL aska to Asia, Reynolds said. These ships would carry 103 passengers at a speed of 300 miles per hour at an average cost of 366 cents per pas senger mile. These ships would land at only Anchorage in Alaska on their way around the world and there would be one round trip daily.
 Survey Trip
 Reynolds and other Pan American officials are on a general survey trip Of Alaska and are returning to Seattle today. Reynolds said that the primary need in Juneau is a suit able airport terminal building and that some arrangement should be made whereby over period ofStime the operating airlines would pay fer the cost of building.
 Others in the Pan American par ty included William Van Dusen, public relations director of Pan Am erican World Airways, of New York Louis Dowell, public relations ceun- selor for the Alaska Service of PAA, Seattle; Beaudetta McDonough, public relations representative rom Seattle, and Sydney Smith, Traffic Manager for the Alaska Service, Seattle.

The W ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-It may take a long time to find out whether Hitler and his bride Eva Braun escaped to Patagonia. The country is a series of vast Nazi-owned ranches, where German is spoken almost exclusively and where Hitler could be hidden easily and success fully for years.
 The ranches in this southern part of Argentina cover thousands of acres and have been under Nazi management for generations. Be- cause of absolute German control it would be impossible for any non- German to penetrate the area to make a thorough investigation as to Hitler's whereabouts.
 Along the coast of Patagonia, many Germans own land which contains harbors deep enough for submarine landings. And if sub- marines could get to Argentine Uruguayan waters from Germany as they definitely did, there is nc reason why they could not go a little farther south to Patagonia Also there is no reason why Hitler couldn't have been on one of them
 Note-On December 15, 1943, this column reported that ''Hitlers gang has been working to build up a place of exile in Argentina in case of defeat. After the fall of Stalingrad and then Tunisia, they began to see defeat staring them in the face. That was their cue to move in on Argentina" The same column also cited chapter and verse regarding German-trained of ficials who ruled the new Argen- tine dictatorship. At San Fran cisco, Nelson Rockefeller a n q Jimmy Dunn insisted that the U. s. A. recognize Argentina. j.
 Note 2.-If it ever comes to identifying Hitler. Dr. Robert Kempner, former German police official now living in Lansdowne, Pa, has the answers. Kempner,

 BULLETIN = PARIS, July 24- Former Premier Paul Reynaud ac- cused beth Marshal Petain and King Leopold of Belgium of treach cry today in surrendering to Ger many and told the court trying the old soldier for his life that French British union is "an ideal which scme day must be realized" The first witness in the trial of the Chief of State of the yichy regime said that the reason the British attacked the French fleet in North Africa in 1940 was that Prime Minister Churchill did not trust the word of Adm. Jean Dar- Ian, Petain's right hand man.
 Edouard Daiadier, who was forced from office as Premier just before Germany invaded Norway and was fuccceded by Reynaud, was the next witness. He said he was tes- tifying "sorrowfuliy, but without resentment"
 He said he had no criticism of Pe.ain between 1884 and 1939 be- cause "Petain during that period was held in the highest respect by both the Army and the nation"
 Daiadicr, however, declared Pe- tain lowered the Arrny's fund for manufacturing war materials by 20 per cent while Petaip was a mln- ister in 1884, just when we should have been arm-lg."
 PARIS, July 24-Forner Premier Paul Reynaud testified at the trial cf Marshal Petain today that a union of France and Great Britain was "an ideal which some day must bo realized"
 The dapper little politician who said yesterday he despised the old Marshal, described the proposal of Prime Minister Churchill when France was collapsing in 1940 for "a unicn.

 Reynaud said that on the day his cabinet fell June Is, 1940, he did net oppose a "cease fire" order but was firmly against demands for an arnistice. He repeated that he wish ed to transfer the government to French Africa and continue the war from there and was opposed by Peta;n and Gen. Maxine Weygand, commander in chief of the reeling French forces.
 Reynaud said President Roosevelt sent Petain an extremely strong" message warning the Marshal that he risked losing the friendship of the United States government and people because of the terms of the

table gardens in the empty moat
around the ancient walled town OF
Bayonne. Pumpkin vines were train
ed up the sloping side of the moat
No cucumbers were to be seen, nor
any kind of melon. Few summer
squash were to be seen in the gar
dens. although at the market both
zucchini and cocozelle were dis
played.
Pumpkin vines are grown in near
ly every yard. oftentimes trained
along the walls. In the markets the
pumpkins are cut up and sold, few
housewives buying more than a
large piece.
Apparently the local gardens are
unaffected by the disease and in
sects which are common to Wash
ington gardens. I have yet to see a
French gardener spraying or dust
ing his vegetable crops. AS a whole
the gardens seem to be relatively
free from both insects and diseases.
The absence of insects is especially
surprising, for song birds are seldom
to be seen although there are plenty
Of trees and shrubs in this area.
The tomato vines in some gardens
show signs of leaf spot, but this may
be due to the high humidity in this
coastal area.
There Is very little idle space in
the French gardens. AS soon as one
crop is harvested the soil is spaded
and planted to something else. 1t is
the one source of food and they do
not neglect it.
Note 1t is possible that the birds
were used for food as l have been
told.
