H00NAK MAYOR lS
 0pTlMiSTIC OvEB
 REBUILDING JOB
Looks Forward 10 Seeing New Village Con-
 stru(ted

Looking forward with complete optimism to the new town of Hoonah that will, in a few months, rise from the ashes of the old Mayor Harry Douglas, who is in Juneau on business connected with construction of the new Hoonah, said he was resting easy now that details for the building had been worked out
 He said some of the people had made rather comfortable homes out of the Army huts and were not suffering although things were a little cramped,
 Douglas said Hoonah would have three light plants, two 85-kilowatt plants and one 45-kilowatt. One of these plants had been paid for by >the residents, a house to house col lection being taken up.
 This week, Hugh Antrim, Con- sulting Engineer for H. B. Foss Company, Douglas said, would SC to Hoonah to make a survey of the new water sites. Harold Floss is due back February 1, he said, and con- struction will start sometime within the first Is days of next month.
 Referring to the fire of June IA Douglas said he again wished to thank the Coast Guard for the aid they rendered. He stated the Coast Guard tied two boats to the dock and fed the homeless people for. two days.
 The Mayor of Hoonah, who has been Mayor for eight years, said the town was different from Rake and Angoon, in that it was not an all-native village but % per cent of the population of 720 were white.
 Douglas said Hoonah was still a dry town and would continue to be dry, lie said, Even if the con- tractor wants a license to serve beer to his men, the Council will not allow it."
 Asked if there was much boot logging going on he answered, Yes, but added that from now on boot leggers selling their wares in town would be prosecuted. He explained this was one reason for his trip to Juneau-to see what could be done to clean up the hootleggers.

BIG THREE AGREE ON CONTROL OF GERMANY

Offer to Escape
To Neutral Nation
Accused Vichy Chief
Offered $4,000
To Barcelona Pilots

BARCELONA, Aug. 2
(UP)-Pierre Laval, in a
last-minute effort to escape,
offered his two German
pilots 100000 francs (s2O,OOOD each
if they would take him to Portugal
instead of to Austria, an eye wit
ness said Thursday.
A Spanish official who was pres
ent at the airfield when Laval took
off said Laval, upon learning Of the
planes destination, tried to bribe
the airmen to take him and his
wife to Portugal, or any other neu-
tral country.
IN GOOD MONEY
Laval said he would pay them in
good money instead of the deval-
uated francs" But the German
creWmen did not reply.
PARIS, Aug. 2. (UP)-Pierre La
val wept Thursday when he was
taken out of his FreSnes prison cell
to attend the formal ceremony Of
sealing the baggage he brought with
him. from Spain by way of Austria.
Laval looked depressed and dis
heveled after night Of solitary
confinement in the prison where he
awaited trial as Frances arch
traitor
French authorities swung imme-
diately into the routine, clearing
the way for his preliminary investi-
cation. Lawyers who will conduct
it visited the prison to place seals
on Laval's baggage.
Laval has chosen no defense law
yer. 1t appeared likely that the
state would have to name one. since
there was no indication that any
lawyer would want to take the case
NO SYMPATHY
The man in the street summed up
the announcement of Laval's arrest
by swapping:
It's about time"
Most F'renchmen believe that La
val largely is responsible for Vichy's
collaboration policy.
Most observers believed he faced
almost certain conviction as trail
tor in the trial which is expected to
occur as soon as the preliminary ex-
aminations can be pushed through.
Laval spent his first night at
Fresnes in a solitary cell with dou-
BILE guards on the outside. He was
barred from any communication
with the 1000 other accused collab-
orators and traitors housed in the
same prison.
