WING REPORTS HUGE NUMBER
 CASE ACTIONS

Reporting on the activities of the War Manpower Commission and U s. Employment Service offices in Alaska during the fiscal year end- ed June 30, 1945, Alaska WING Dir ector A. A. Hedges has authorized the release today of the following statement showing a total of more than 31,0G0 job placements made during the year and nearly 100000 office interviews handled.
 Tie WING Director noted that:
 In October of l944, the offices which the War Manpower Commis- sion formerly had in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, and Edmonton, AL terta, were eliminated for the req son that construction was complet- ed on the Alaska Highway, the Canol Project, the Catel Project, and the air strips and air bases which are scattered the length of the Alaska Highway.
 At about the same time two offi- ces were established by the War Manpower Commission in the Aleut- ian Islands at secret locations, in a highly successful effort to curb the huge manpower turnover in that area. In addition to these War Manpower commission field offices, the U. s. Employment Service has regular field offices at Ketchikan, Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks, Ko- diak and Cordova and also main tains part-time representative at Sitka. The Seattle office is also still maintained and is serving a very useful function in guiding the flow of manpower to the Territory.
 The complete, tabular report of the years activities is as follows:

Washington Senator Up- holds Unconditional
 Surrender Terms

WASHINGTON, July 24-Senator Magnuson D-Wash) won applause from uniformed men in the gall leries today when he told the Senate the quickest way to defeat Japan is to say that uncondi- tional surrender means just that"
 Magnuson took the floor during speech by Senator Wheeler CD- Mont) on the United Nations Charter to assert that any soften ing in the American demands might be used by the Japanese militarists to whip up their people" into continuing the war.
 Wheeler had said there is a rising flood of demands for definition of our terms to the Japanese, adding that many be- lieved failure to outline these terms might be prolonging the war.
 Magnuson interrupted to declare that the reverse result might be true if there is any slackening in the demand for complete capitula- tion by the Japanese.

The most disastrous floods in a generation have struck parts of the Eastern United States. Days Of lex- cessively heavy rainfall have caused damage estimated at three and one-half million dollars to roads and bridges.

 Elsewhere in the nation, 1t is generally hot ard moist, and crops are doing well. There is no evi- dence of summer droughts.

The brilliant career at the Metro
politan Opera which began for her
in 1885 with her debut as Bruenn-
hide in Die Walkuere' was cut
short three years ago when she was
Striken with a severe case of infan-
tile paralysis. She refused to be-
lieve the doctors who said, if she
lived, she would be a helpless in
valid and began Immediately to pre-
pare herself to continue her pub
lie career.
Soon the gifted singer was able to
accept few solo appearances where
she was carried on the stage and
sang sitting down. Recently she has
made a brilliant comeback in opera
at the Metropolitan, has given nu-
merouS recitals throughout the
United States and has just returned
from a highly successful concert
tour of her native land, Australia
The constant use of her voice &C
celerated her recovery and she can
now ride horseback and even walk
few steps.
Miss Lawrence began her career
at The top by singing leading Wag-
merriam roles after but few years of
training. She had seen only one
performance of opera before leav-
ing to study in Paris, but three years
later made her debut with the
Monte Carlo Opera as Elizabeth in
"Tannhauser." A contract with the
Paris Opera followed, but she would
not accept Gatti-Cassazza's offer to
join the Metropolitan until some
time later. Besides the Wagnerian
roles, she has sung Italian and
French operas. One of her greatest
successes was her performance Of
the much discussed role OF "Salome. y
The Thursday program will begin
with the aria of Nitocrls from
Handel's "Belshazzar," followed by
three Schubert songs, The Erl-
king" Der Lindenbaum" and "Un-
geduld." After the intermission
Miss Lawrence will sing Caneloube's
"Malurous quo uno Fenno," Ravels
La Flute Enchantee,' Nin's "El
Vito" Harriet Wares This Day Is
Mine" and close with Bruennhilde's
final scene from Wagner'S "Goetter-
daemmerung."
Gorden Manley will accompany
the singer and play between her
groups Brahms Two Intermezzl,
Op. 118" and "Rhapsodie, Op. 10, No.
