 MT. Nuesse agreed with previous theories that the explosion was probably caused either by a pilot light of the kitchen gas stove, or a spark from the motor of a auto mobile oil burner which began to operate when MT. HanSen's act of opening the front door lowered the temperature.
 MT. Nuesse revealed that the break might have occurred at 3:45 a. m. He said that at that time there was a recorded drop in pres sure on a district regulator meter. He pointed out, however, that such a recording of pressure drop does not indicate the location of a break, if any. He said that the re- corded drop could also have been the result of mechanical trouble in the meter. or, for that matter, any number of reasons.
 Porous Surface
 The engineer said that the break in the main in front of Il Plank Road occurred at a lowered part of the road where water had collected on the surface. He said that the road there was porous, cinderS having been used as fill; and the water could have seeped down and undermined the main.
 He said that the cause of the break had not been determined, and added that there is no reason to believe that it never shall.
 However he asserted that the main had been laid according to specifications.
 MT. Nuesse expects to continue his investigation today He said that he was hindered greatly yes terday by the new fallen snow and by the collection of debris at the scene.
 Corner FraAk T. Healey said that he will resume his investigation today, and added that he has scheduled an inquest into the death of Mrs. Ringenberg for a later time this week.

Supreme Court To oHeorAIien

Washington. Dec. II - (UP) - The Supreme Court today agreed to consider a suit over whether per son can be refused U. s. citizenship for expressing an unwillingness to bear arms in the nations defense.
 The question was presented to the court in an appeal filed by James L. Girouard, a Seventh-Day Adven- tist of Stoneham, Mass.
 Girouard appealed after the First U. $. Circuit Court of Appeals re- versed an order by the U. s. District Court at Boston directing his admS- sion into citizenship.
 The circuit court ruled that under the Nationality Act the citizenship oath could not be administered to an alien who is unwilling to bear arms in defense of the country.

GIVE TO THE WAR FUND

It should be necessary to say no more than that the American Red Cross is conducting it's 1945 War Fund drive.
 During two World Wars and at myriad of disasters and instances of human want in between, the Red Cross has functioned efficiently, superbly, transforming public contributions into real help and comfort Almost everyone knows that, should know that We have heard people who critical of this individual instance that of Red Cross activities, but they looking at nfnitesima specks in magnificent panorama of humanitarian service
 On every front in every cline, the American Red Cross is at work It is doing things which this government would trust to other agency. It is medium of comfort and relief which even our enemies must recognze-as witness the aid to prisoners of war And in addition to all that the Red Cross has done to the hardshps and discomforts of fight ing men and noncombatants amid the horrors of war it also has been the means of saving an ncaculable number of lives. The blood plasma service alone if the Red Cross did nothing else, would justify the very fullest support of the organization by the Am erican people.
 When your turn comes to give, give in the knowledge that every dollar every cent that you contribute will be translated into service where it is most desperately needed.
 The drive lasts through this month and Juneaus quota has not been attained

rent violations, also of Anchorage.
 The U. s. District Court in Fair banks earlier this month fined J. B. Pollestrine, local rental agent, $75 for failure to register housing &C., commentators and changes of ten ancy as required. Beny A. Klessin- ger, a Fairbanks landlord, changed his plea to one of guilty to eight separate charges of violating the rent regulations and was fined $500 by the court. Charges against Klessinger included failure to, reg ister five apartments and collecting from tenants pre-payments of rent for more than one month ip ad- vance.
 Through the excellent coopera- tion of local people working on Rent Panels of War Price and Ra- tioning Boards in Alaska, we have secured a high degree of voluntary compliance. We recommend court action only when violation is fla grant and continued in spite of such efforts stated E. P. McCar- ron, Territorial Rent Director.

Veterans Health
Washington Post)
isn't it?

The Nation has a moral obligation to care for the health of veterans suffering from disabilities incurred connection with their service It has an equal obligation assist all veterans to become readJusted in civilian life and work Rehabilitation of veterans, as the Senates Subcommittee on Wartime Health ana Education put it. lis truly an investment Of highest significance to the Nation Our future welfare re- quires that the millions of returning veterans must have every opportunity to take their rghtful places in society which looks forward to higher living standards than any nation has ever known before"
 The subcommittee's report health needs Of veterans is valuable addition to its recent interim Report No. recommending a national health pro- gram Veterans health needs cannot properly be divorced from the health needs of the country as whole. Indeed, when it is reflected that 1n time something like Is million men will have been ols- charged the armed forces it is obvious that ln matters of health, in matters of employment ana general welfare their future is identified With that of the whole population Only broad-gauged pro- gram for the extension of hospital facilities together with prepayment system for defraying the costs o1 medical care can meet the health needs of so great number.
 Special and distinctive provision must be made however for veterans who have suffered handlcapS as result of their service. It is by no means clear that the Veterans Administration charged With this duty is adequate to the fulfllment o1 It. Criticisms of the quality of service gwen py the Veterans Administration have been made to the subcommittee by organizations and individuals who speak authortatively the report says. Tt has been stated that the medical of veterans does not measure up to the best standards. In addition re- strctions on patient service seriously limit the effectiveness of the care offered
 The Pepper subcommittee points to a special need for treatment of neuropsychatric conditions among discharged servicemen. In spite of the fact that neuropsychiatric conditions accounted -or one third of the reecons of draftees prior to April 1914 40 per cent of the medical discharges from the Army up to that time granted for neuropsychatrc req sons study by the New York Committee on Mental Hygiene indicates that about 80 per cent of thls latter group require some form of psychatrc treat ment According to Senator Pepper and his colleagues proper treatment of these will require some 1900 mental hygiene clinics to be established through Federal-State cooperation. No phase of the read justment of servicemen to civilian life can be con- sidered more important

ACTON AGAINST THREE LANDLORDS
 IS RECOMMENDED

Conducting extensive review of reports on recent rent enforcement drive, the Rent Panels of the An chorage and Fairbanks War Price and Rationing Boards, under the direction of Territorial Rent Di- rector E. P. McCarron, this month recommended to the Enforcement Division of OPA that action be taken against three landlords in Anchorage and two in Fairbanks, who had consistently failed to per- form their legal responsibilities in a defense rental area in wartime.
 AS a result of the enforcement drive, an injunction suit against Will K. Jefferson of Anchorage will be tried this week in Federal Court there, Judge Anthony Dimond pre- siding. Two complaints for per manent injunction were filed against Jack Worklin and John Balios for

FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1945
 After the early morning hours adverse aspects are active today. The stars favor merchants and manufacturers.
 Business Affairs Although the speculative spirit will be prevalent this spring the trend will be toward sound invest ments. War conditions carry les sons that are favorable for con- servative financial policies, and desire for security will be evident among Americans of every class.
 National Issues
 Discussion of our postwar pro- gram will reveal great differences of opinion in Congress and among taxpayers everywhere. There is sign presaging opinion that favors the curbing of our national gener- osity to European and Asiatic war victims. Under Aquarian influences, however, Uncle Sam will continue to play Santa Claus, it is forecast.
 International Affairs
 The seers remind Americans who fear the European game of power politics that it is imperative for Churchill and Stalin to make pre- parations for postwar conditions that will protect the nations that they represent. Those who must live in Europe foresee difficulties that the people of the United States fail to realize.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good prospects and steady advancement. Changes and new ventures are in dicated.

GEAR" FRED VINSON

The Senate's quick confirmation of Judge Fred Vinson as Federal Loan Administrator indicates to some extent the difference between poker playing and non-poker play ing government officials.
 That, of course, is an over simplification of fact. But it is not an r-simplification to say that Fred Vinson and Henry Wallace have just about the same dan gerous liberal views" but Vinson still spends occasional evenings with his old cronies in Congress, talking politics, gossiping about old times, and just being one of them. And the Senate is strongly influ- enced by personal friendship.
 Henry Wallace, always a little shy, never a good mixer, banished the Jack Garner refrigerator from the Vice-Presidential office and knew very few individual members of the Senate. Also he is a poten- tial candidate for President and many Republicans wanted to kill him off.
 But aside from this difference in personalities, Fred Vinson has a long record as a crusading liberal. In the House of Representatives Vinson was a New Deal standard bearer even before Roosevelt en- tered the White House. Later, under Roosevelt, he battled the Presidents none-too- welcome tax bills through Congress.
 In reward, FDR put Vinson on the Court of Appeals for the Dis trict Of Columbia; then when war broke asked him to fill the tough job of Economic Administrator. As such, Vinson has stepped on almost ieveryones toes, from the oil men to organized labor, but has con- tinued to hold their respect. When the oil companies de- manded an increased price last year, Vinson moved a whole filing cabinet full of reports to his apart ment, sat up late every night study ing oil until he became one of the best experts in Washington. He did the same thing when it came to railroad wages,
 Vinson has habit of saying I'll get out my pencil and level on it."
 When he does, callers can be certain that before he finishes he will know more about their problem than they themselves.
 Note-In his youth Vinson was a crackerjack ball player; has been considered as possible successor to Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis as czar of baseball.

national debt limit increased to $500 900 000 Congress now asked to do the figures would be twice the assessed valuation of all the property in the United States
 Stated another way, the authorized debt would be $2 172 for each man, woman and child in the nation. Or in more practical terms, it would represent an obligation of about $60OO for each of the 50o0Oo00 taxpayers in the United States.
 We underscore the point not in criticism of war expenditures because whatever the costs us it will be an expense infinitely less than German victory would have cost But it is time to think about trimming nonwar Federal expenditures to the bone, isn't it?

HOOVER AND TOM DEWEY

Republican friends who have talked with Herbert Hoover recently have been surprised and a little amused at his resentment against Governor Dewey.
 It will be recalled that Dewey, after being reasonably close to Hoover early in l944, dropped him like a hot potato later. Most people credit Hoover with the adroit man. euver by which Governor Bricker dropped his campaign for the Presi- dential nomination at Chicago and agreed to take No. ? place on the ticket. Hoover felt that Dewey was sufficiently grateful.
 Whatever the background of their falling out, there is no mistaking Hoover's attitude now. Talking to some friends the other day he got started on Dewey and made this pungent remark
 Every Republican candidate has lad a personal following even though defeated I did. Governor Landon did. Wendell Willkie had a great personal following. But Dewey is the one exception. People voted for him merely because he was the Republican candidate"

NAZI GUERRILLA WAR?

Those who watched the Filipino Guerrillas closeup in their under ground fight against the Japs have been concerned as to how long Hitler's rabid band of Nazis might be able to carry on an underground campaign from the mountains of south Germany and Austria. Mo- body, of course, knows the answer. Expert observers in neutral coun- tries do know, however, that Hit ler's die-hards have been fiendishly clever in devising all sorts of schemes to fight underground to the bitter end. Guns, ammunition, food, clothing and all sorts of sup plies have been cached away in mountain hide-outs
 Guerrilla fighting might take one of two different forms. It might continue uninterrupted after an armiStice. Or there might be a lull, during which Nazi leaders could get established incognito and organize their underground, fol-
