German communique told of local breaches by Red Army troops beating toward Stettin from the north, as the White Russian Army to the northeast battled within sight of church spires of Danzig.
 Part of the civilian population and military garrison of Danzig are be- ing evacuated by sea, Moscow dis patches said, but Red Army planes have now blocked the sea escape lanes.
 A Soviet correspondent said "the end of German divisions trapped on the Danzig Coast is drawing near" Farther to the east the siege threat ened on Koenigsberg, the east Prus- sian capital, from which a large part of the population has apparently escaped.

Tom Dyer, heaC or the Rotary Aviation Committee, gave long awaited report on the possibility of constructing a passenger terminal at the Juneau Airport today at the Rotary luncheon, held in the Bar anof Hotel Gold Room.
 He stated that if Senate Bills AT and 48 are passed by the House, then municipe lity may build a terminal at an airport. However, private capital cannot build it. This means, he said, that the City must be ready to float bond issue and before they can do this, a referendum of the voters would be necessary to grant approval.

This is the type of supervision
that is going to tickle vets right
down to their excl feet. The cardi-
nal criticism levelled at Gen. Brad
ley's predecessor, Gen. Hines, was
that VA had been allowed to de-
velop into stuffy, disjointed and
cumbersome agency which was
more concerned with means than
with ends. Obviously, from the
manner in which Gen. Bradley had
left the post the new administrator
does not propose to allow VA to be-
come afflicted with such complac-
ency and red tape. If this is indeed
the purpose and intent of head of
VA, he will find every one of us
running interference for his policy.
And we mean it, too, General.

FUGITIVE IS DELAY
HIS ExTRADITI0N FIGHT

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. ~
(ANP).-Herman Powell, 32-year-
old Georgia fugitive, won a delay in
his fight against extradition to
Georgia prison where he escaped
after serving year of life SEN
tence for the death of a white
woman in an automobile accident
on March 16, 1941. The case will be
heard on Nov. %.
Supreme Court Justice Donges
granted a rule to show cause why
writ of certorari should not be
issued to review June 20 order of
Judge Richard V. Hartshorne, COM
mon pleas court, who fixed Oct. 19
as the date for final disposal of the
case.
Since his arrest here by New Jer-
sey police last May 20, Powell has
been imprisoned at the Essex
county jail.
"I'll spend the balance of my life
in Jail, if they don't kill me-" he
said. '"That's what Pm afraid Of.
Because | made trouble for them,
they will send me to the road gang.
| would not have possible chance" !"
Funds for his defense are being
raised through the Herman Powell

Potter, was joined by Fred R.
Clark, editor and publisher of the
New Jersey Record, and Irvine l.
Turner, well-known singer and
vice chairman of the defense COM
mittee, in the drive for funds to
finance Powell's defense.
Residents from all parts of the
southern states, particularly Geor-
gia, should feel the Importance of
this case and the effect it lends to
the future of other Negroes who
may find themselves in the same
predicament," Atty. Potter said.
Contributions must be sent in now
in order to be ready for the next
hearing"
The NAACP has refused to aid
Powell, Atty. Potter charged. He
said that Thurgood Marshall, the
organizations ace lawyer, told him
''he did not think the case could be
won."
In my opinion, the NAACP of
New York ha sstudiously avoided
any participation in the Herman
Powell case and does not intend to
interest itself in the matter"

work for what should prove to be
an interesting event. The entire
country is going to give this meet
ing very critical observation. The
association has jumped into the
front lines in the contest to secure
full and equitable treatment for Ne
gro veterans, and it's action upon
this issue will be expected to follow
the same effective procedure it had
applied to its approaches in the
past.
This column has already voiced
the expectation that this conference
will develop some worthwhile poll
cies for the association to follow in
consideration of, and action upon,
Negro veterans affairs. In this
hope we will no doubt be joined by
other thousands of persons who
have learned to place confidence in
NAACP activities. For this con-
clave not to measure up to the
standard of past association con-
ferences will be a source of bitter
disappointment. We think it will.

malignment, is not afraid of the
United States with even it's con-
cealed atomic bomb secret; for the
Russians have openly defied us
with the warning that in five years
they will have something just as
good or better. Molotov recently
asserted concerning the breakdown
of the London negotiations that ma
tions cannot be ordered about any
more.
Not only in our decision to monop-
olize the atomic bomb secrets did we
forfeit the greatest opportunity to
render world service of any nation
that ever lived, but our studied at
tempts to condition our financial
help on the necessitous nations
aopting our form of government.
Bought friends are never paid for,
neither are bought international
comrades. Europe is veering to-
wards the left, Britain and all, for
better or for worse. Europe needs
the help Of the United States and
demands it on moral and humani-
tartan grounds. For us to force
upon leftist Europe-by fear-an
theology it did not want would be
the most undemocratic move con-
ceivable.

that truly democratic democracy
was the best defense against COM
munism. More recently Virginius
Dabney of the Richmond Times
Dispatch said that only by our
proving that democracy is better
could we hope to stay the tide of
communism. A color-struck de-
mocracy cannot prove that it is bet
ter than communism. A dollar
struck diplomacy cannot prove it's
superiority. No nation that chooses
as it's lawmakers such men as East
Ian, Rankin, Bilbo, Cotton Ed
Smith and their satellites can COM
mend democracy to the world even
under the speel of one of the might
lest exchequers in history.
The foregoing amounts to the
studied but inevitable conclusion
that the faith destroyed when we
refused to share the secrets of the
atomic bomb, will make inevitable
World War III! Color-struck de-
mocracy and dollar-struck diplo-
macy cannot afford the basis Of
lasting peace.

~ DCNH SOSN'
AS at the close of World War l,
so at the close of World War II, the
United States is in the most strate-
gic position of any of the nations of
the earth in the possibilities Of MAX
ing a lasting peace. AS at the close
of World War l, we muffed our
chances of making good in our stra-
tegic position and thereby contrib
uted to the catastrophe that was
World War II, so at the close of
World War II we are muffing the
chance to preserve international
peace and thereby assuring World
War III.
When the United States AFRO
gates unto itself the sole preroga-
tives in handling the secrets per-
tanning to the atomic bomb, it by
that very assumption makes the
boldest strokes in rending asunder
the hopes of an abiding peace. This
country is not big enough, not rich
enough and not good enough to
handle by itself the atomic bomb
and secrets thereof. Just as power
politics have doomed and damned
Europe for 10 these many centuries;
so our great country is resorting to
fear politics-power politics by
another name-to achieve certain
political detectives in international
relations. 1t simply cannot be done!
If this country had been big
enough to call into it's confidence
ALL the nations of the earth and re-
veal the possibilities of the atomic
bomb, it would have been laying the
foundations Of the faith that must
precede any worthwhile attempts
to achieve a permanent peace But
when we attempt to hide the secret
and boast that we can outdo the
other nations, we simply go about
the race of international armament
in another way and herein lies the
the greater tragedy.
What the race in ornaments has
done to destroy the peace of the
past, the race in science will do to
destroy the peace of the future and
possibly the human race. We are
now committed to the policy of
trying to frighten the rest of the
world with our power. We are
going in strong for a program of
"bull-dozeism''. If fear were eff
fective in critical situations there
might be some hope but nobody is
afraid of anybody elese these days.
A fear policy among the nations
will be about as futile as the fear
policy this country inaugurated
against it's Negro citizens. 1t has
failed for today Negroes simply are
not afraid of the Negro-hating
whites any more. The more recent
Ku-Klux-ism proves the point that
Negroes are no longer terrorized by
fiery crosses and hooded goblins.

know?
She realized that the informa-
ton fitted into place like the miss
ing piece of a jigsaw puzzle. It
explained some of the things she
had overheard on the phone that
night. It accounted for Herbs
harsh order to Adelaide not to
answer the doorbell. And it ac-
counted for Decker's listening in

Were all getting pretty hair
trigger. That reminds me, it was
Decker who telephoned me. He
asked me to convey message to
you if I saw you. He's coming in
to take you home, at your mo-
theirs request, he said"
Decker called for Rusty at the
hospital late that afternoon, after
picking up her bags at Westmore's
place.
He was in gay mood, insisting
they remain in the city for din
ner. He deposited Hank with
some old cronies, then took her to
a dining room on the roof of a
hotel.
AS they dined, they watched a
young spring storm come in,
turning the world greenish gold,
saving that gold to throw in jag
ged lines against purpled night.
And perversely, Rusty thought
of another storm and another
man.
During dinner, Decker remark
ed, After we're married, we'll
run in here often. The trouble
with us ranchers, Small Fry, is
we stick too close to the spread;
our perspective narrows down to
weather and cattle. That's not
living. A person needs to get out
and meet all kinds of people
Right?"
Rusty supposed it was, yet the
radio and the automobile had SC
narrowed the distance between
ranches and towns, she'd never
felt the need of anything more.
I'm going East next week, and
when I RETURN Decker left that
in the air. Meanwhile, how
would you like to borrow a few
iof my hands for your roundup?
III have Slim Jack pick up the
best of the lot and ride over when
you whistle"
Hank made an able chaperon on
the drive home. His tongue loos-
Iened by the 'doggone hair-oil'' his
cronies had served him, he regal
ed them with yarns of the coun-
Itry's early days.
Decker turned on the car radio
and the three of them sang as they
sped through the misty prairie
night. It was fun, it was pleasant,
it was home folks thought Rus
ty. It was good to be back with
her own people.
Sleepy" asked Decker, as
they turned off the main high
way.
She was. Except for a short
nap on hospital divan, she'd had
no rest. Decker rolled a car robe
into a head rest, tucked another
about her, and muted the radio.
She awakened once to become
dimly aware of Decker's arm re-
placing the rug roll, but was too
deeply stepped in sleep to do any
thing. Then she awakened COM
pletely a second time, conscious
of chill and silence. The drivers
seat beside her was empty.
Hank" she whispered.
Ssh" warned the old man be-
hind her, and then, leaning close,
Deck figured he heered shootin'
and druv of the road N turned
off the lights. He's gone back
afoot to look round. 1 got me a
gun here
The two of them sat waiting,
listening, every sense acutely
alert.
A few months previously, she
had sat on this same prairie with
out thought of fear, had spent the
night in company with a stranger.
She marveled now at the fool
hardness of her conduct. How
quickly crime could stain a coun-
tryside, how quickly fear be i'm
planted in its people!
There-both she and Hank
jumped. A car motor was start
ing-a truck motor, a heavy dou-
ble-decker, they estimated.
