By MARY LEE COUNCIL Secretary 10 E. L. tBob) Bartlett. Delegate 10 Congress from Alaska
CONGRESSMEN REQUEST WAR PRODUCTION BOARD TO LIFT BAN AGAINST GOLD MINING

SSAA V04VAANS
 In letter addressed to Chair man Krug of the War Production Board, Delgeate Bartlett has join ed thirty other members of the House requesting that the ban against gold mining be lifted inn mediately.
 The order against gold mining has been in effect for almost two and a half years, and during that time it is claimed irreparable damage has been done to hun dreds of mines through cessation of operation.
 Stating that they believed the limitation order should not be continued at all after VIE day, the Congressmen joined in the follow ing statement giving their reasons for the request: "It is hard to un- derstand why our gold mines have been closed for two and half years while the gold mines in other countries desperately in- volved in this war have continued to operate and has been furnished supplies for their operations from this country. We are further at a loss to understand why the open ing of our gold mines should be delayed at time when our gov ernment is seeking to reduce the gold reserves behind our currency from forty to twenty-five percent because we are short of gold"
 The request asked for definite date when the order would be liftd so that preparations can be made for financing and reopening the mines. Although assurances had been issued some time ago by the War Production Board that the limitation order would be lifted so that preparations can be mite date has been set by the WIPE. It is hoped that the com bined request of the members of the House will be effective imme- diately.

mo UNEMPLOYMENT
CONDITIONS HERE

The end of the war has MOI
brought any unemployment in the
city R. T. McKeithan, manage,
of the Wilmington office of the
USES, said yesterday. Actually
there are more orders for en-
ployes on file now than prior to
the cessation of hostilities, he adj
ded.
Wilmington has still more jobs
than people to fill them, and I'M
skilled labor remains as scarce as
during the war. There are, OF
course, some individuals who can
not be placed locally because there
is no demand for their particular
skill, he explained.
Claims for unemployment insur-
ance have increased somewhat
since the wars end, but he ex-
planned that this is caused by the
return to this area of workers who
have been laid off elsewhere and
who find here no Job to tit their
skills.

ATHENS. Jan. u (UP)-The
bloody Greek civil war will end,
at least temporarily, next Mon
day under a truce signed by 1t.
Gen. Scobie, British commander

The truce was agreed upon last
night and will prevail during ne

Regent Archbishop DamaSkinoS
and Premier Gen. Plastiras.
Main points at issue between

were believed to be the disarma-

guard and EAM-ELAS forces and
the early trial of Greeks accused
of collaborating with the Ger
mans.

in Poland had started on a broad
front west of the Vistula some
100 miles below Warsaw with an
initial impact which drove several

extremely bitter fighting was rag
ing and acknowledged German
reverses in the first phase of the
battle.
Russian troops and armo
massed in the bridgehead won by
the Red army last summer
mounted the offensive after a
drumfire barrage by hundreds Of
guns, the Germans reported.
Some sources believed this re-
ported attack at the lower end Of
the Polish front would expand to
encompass the northern part of
the eastern front, largely inactive
since the Russians struck into East
Prussia and begged down in the
intricate maze of defenses guard
ing the German homeland.
