MAYOR pEDERSEk LAUD5 HENRIETTA
 kET(HIkAN WORK

Mayor R. c. Pedersen, of Ketch- ikan, today gave moral support to Juneau's City Administration in its insistence on manning the guns in the cause of Howard s. Henretta and his evaluating abilities.
 To an inquiry by Juneau's Mayor Ernest Parsons as to how well MT Henretta's prior work in Ketchi- kan is liked there, Mayor .Pedersen, in letter read last night at Mayor Parsons request to the Board of Equalization, replied as follows:
 Dear Mayor Parsons.
 Tn reply to your wire regarding appraisal of property in Kctchikan as made by Howard Henretta, will state that the program as a whole has proven very satisfactory.
 Tt is only natural to assume that in a program as extensive as ours some errors of judgement and com putation would arise, but they were of limited and minor nature; also, our situation has advanced to the stage where we can safely pass judgement on it.
 The condition of our deficit had reached the point where 1t was ab- solutely imperative that we take in telligent but drastic steps toward putting the City's affairs in good sound financial shape, and the i'm portance of this situation was brought forcibly to the attention of the taxpayers. That factor may have had considerable influence in the success of our plan.
 My personal opinion, which I feel you wish to obtain, is that MT. Hen- retta's services to the City have been very satisfactory, particularly in view of the fact that too few people wish to pay increased taxes, justi- fable or otherwise.
 T trust that this will prove sat isfactory answer for you and may add that at any time I can be of ser vice to you kindly feel free to cal on me. ..

NEW BOMB MAY SPEED
 SURRENDER
British Press Forecasts Sending of Ultima
 tum 10 Japs

LONDON, Aug TIA new surren- der ultimatum to Japan, backed by the threat of the atomic bomb, was forecast in the British press today and the question was raised whether the United States and Britain would see fit to share their secret with other allied nations.
 A London commentator, making the first disclosure concerning the size of the new bomb, said last night it is ten times smaller than a blockbuster but many times as powerful
 British experts on military, scien- tific and international affairs. busy making calculation on the effects of the awesome development, said the bomb would influence all future in- ternational relations and produced the alarming problem" of how to control it.
 How far 1t will be possible or wise to diffuse generally over the world the knowledge of how to make these bombs poses a vitally important problem" said Prof. Gilbert Murray joint President of the League of Nations since l930. There are enor- nous difficulties in keeping it sec ret of one or two nations" The Daily Mail. in a Washington dispatch. quoted reliable sources as saying the allies would serve Japan with an ultimatum threat enine to bomb her into oblivion with the new weapon unless she slirren- dered internationally. The ulti- matum would carry a 48-hour time limit, the Mail said.
 There was no immediate confir- nation from official quarters. Britain's first gasp of amazement at the power of the atomic bomb and the hopes it spurred for a quick end to the Japanese war sobered in- to an awed realization of it's vast potentialities-in peace as well as in war.
 Tt might produce something that will revolutionize all industrial life. said Sir John Anderson. who as Lord President of the Council in Britain's wartime Cabinet shared responsible ity for the secret and costly research which developed the destructive weapon.

EQUALIzER5 ACCOMPLISH
 BUT LITTLE
Only Two taxpayers Heard During Last Night's
 Session

In the first round of their battle of the century with the city tax rolls, Juneau's common councilmen sitting as a Board of Equalization encountered plenty of 'equalizine up" as well as "equalizing down" ir prospect.
 Accomplishment at last evenings Board of Equalization session was nearly nil, however. From all the throng of prospective complainants overflowing the Council Chamber only two taxpayers were heard Nick Rocovich and Mrs. Senna Pow CTS.
 The handling of MT. Rocovich's plaint apparently set the pattern by which the Administration intends to dispose of the dissatisfied. After speaking his piece before the Coun- Gil, MT. Rocovich was shunted into the "baok room" to talk to Evalua- tor Howard s. Henretta.
 The committee three that the Council had, under pressure. per mitted' to the taxpayers, to perform in an advisory capacity only, submit ted it's report and recommendations at the opening of last evenings session, along with a transcript of a conference the same committee had held with Evaluator Henretta. The Board of Equalization read--and ignored-the committees report. Committeeman There ! Member of the committee were allowed to sit in at the Board ses- sion last evening. When assessment entries which the committee had been called upon to investigate came up they were earmarked for further investigation.
 ! Walter Sharpe, Taxpayers mem Der of tEe committee-of-three. was somewhat scathing in his comments on last nights hearing:
 The Council did not equalize a single piece of property. nor did it apply tconstruction) rates or depre- citation rates to a single piece o1 property If taxpayers are not here to protest in person they apparently are not going to receive any consid- eration' Seemingly the Board is not going to check over Henretta's work, but is putting all adjustments up to him, was the gist of Shapes statement.

 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the ArniyD

WASHINGTON-J L. Sulli- van has gone about his new job of being Assistant Secretary for Naval Aviation in a refreshing manner. Even before he took the oath of office, he went out to Admiral McCain's flagship during one of the biggest operations against Japan, cruising within ITO miles of the Jap coast.
 Part of the time, Sullivan held no official position not yet having taken the oathD, so lolled around on the carriers deck in a khaki uniform with no insignia, getting acquainted with the men. He came back with heartening conclusion.
 "The chief American weapon of this war" he said, ''is not any new invention, but the ingenuity and courage and especially the spirit of these kids. It's the most inspiring thing in the world, the way they operate-as inspiring as a religious service. They will be loaf ing on deck as if they hadn't @ care in the world.
 Then, suddenly, the planes start coming in, and they are right on the tob-just as efficient as clock work. And if one group is having trouble with its plane, you'll see another crowd rush over to help them. There never was a greater job of teamwork, ingenuity and especially spirit ever seen in this country-and that's true of all the Navy"
 Sullivan pointed out that of 399 officers aboard his carrier, only five were regular naval officers. That" he added, lis tribute to what youngsters can learn to do in an emergency
 Tn addition to the training of green officers and men, Sullivan emphasized that every ship in Ad- f1iral McCahl's task force was al most new. You look out over the horizon" said the Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy, and as far as the eye can see-ships, ships, and more ships, all their keels laid since Pearl Harbor-another great tribute to American industry, labor and ingenuity.

Commercial Uses of Atomic Energy Were
 Discussed Before War
By JAMES NARROW

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7-Secre- tary of War Stimson has cold watered' the idea that there may be commercial use of atomic energy soon after this war because of dis coveries connected with the atomic bomb.
 He says bluntly.
 Tt will be matter of much fur thur research and development to design machines for the conversion of atomic energy into useful power. How long this will take no one can predict but 1t will certainly be a period of many years"
 But-granted that eventually ato- mic energy can be used for peaceful purposes-vital questions affecting mankind's future have to be answered.
 Uranium is the ore essential to pro- duction of the atomic bomb.
 Before this war there was lot of experimenting with uranium. And there was a lot of speculating on the future of atomic energy. Some of it went like this
 There'd be fio need any more for coal or oil as fuel if the atoms en- ergy could be turned into commercial use. A small capsule of uranium, aspirin-size, subjected to atomic disintegration gives off tremendous heat. The heat makes steam. Steam drives engines.
 So, that a capsule would drive the Queen. Mary on a round "trip Allan tic crossing, would keep an automo- bile or airplane running for days would heat a mans home for year, would keep factory wheels spinning
 But who'd control this power: A few private corporations or the gov ernment. Tn the hands of few cor porations, such control could be a stranglehold on America.
 If the government, how would it operate the power? With such atomic power would there be any need for. water-power dams at all?
 President Truman seems aware that atomic energy may in time re- place power dams, for he said. The fact that we can release atomic en- ergy ushers in new era in mans understanding of natures forces, Atomic energy in the future may supplement the power that now comes from coal, oil and falling water"
 Which brings up this question: How. cheap would the power be? Cheap enough to compete at all with commercial power plants? This too remains to be seen.
