PARIS, Aug. IA. - Jane Fro
man is back in Europe showing
them that the wounded can still
sing. She doesn't have to say any
thing about it.
A slim, blue-eyed, midnight
haired girl who sings Gershwin
right out of this world and who
shutters little, Jane is finishing
a job she started two years ago
just as professional entertainer
on her way to do her bit for the
boys in the foxholes and camps.
The job ended before it really
started. The big trans Atlantic
plane crashed in Lisbon and Jane
Froman was one of the ones who
lived-with a shattered body and
a slim chance to survive, much
less pick up the threads Of a
career
In February, 1913, my job was
with the soldiers" she said. Now
my job is with the wounded" =
She sat easily, her leg with its
heavy brace propped up on a
chair in front of her and her
clutches close at hand. A few
seconds later she swung to her
feet, hobbled from the room and
made her first appearance-be-
fore a roomful of soldiers in
Paris big American Red Cross
recreation center, Rainbow Corn
er.
She knocked them right out of
their chairs. She didn't do thing
except walk on her erutches up
to the microphone and sing "Star
Dust" 1T Had To Be You," Be
gin the Beguine' and some other
old and blue numbers the boys
could hum along with her., But
the reception she got was more
than one for a pretty girl with a
throaty voice that has been a part
of Broadway and radio for ten
years.
She's had it, every one of them
knew, and she's kept on going. Be

SINGER STAGES COMEBACK

hind her are Is operations and
bone graftings and Is months
spent in hospitals. In front of her
are two more years and three
more operations before she can
throw away her crutches-if ev-
erything goes right.
In spite of it she's appeared in
a Broadway revue, at time when
she had to be carried on and off
the stage. She's appeared this
winter in a New York night club,
wheeled to and from the micro
phone.
'I've waited a long time to come
back" she said. Il suppose finally
being able to come and do the
things l want to do means lot
to me personally. l want to tour
all the hospitals. / think / under
stand those boys now, and maybe
l can bring them something !
could never have brought two
years ago"
She talked about herself as cas-
ually as though she were discuss
ing a shopping trip.
After year or two you get
accustomed to pain and discom-
fort. That's just one thing. An
other thing is that I'm not going
into those hospitals with any false
gaiety. That can be the most dis
couraging thing in the world -
someone coming up to you and
saying, well, well, you'd never
know you'd been hurt when you
know you look and feel terrible.
IF the boys want to talk about
Things, FL talk with them. Person
ally, I've always talked about it
because it gets so much larger in
your mind if you don't. But I'll
know when they want to talk "

Special services brought her over,
by ship, and she's going right out
in the field hospitals and camps.

ANCHORAGE ACT E LIMITS USE OF
 QU0NSET HUTS

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 16.- The City Council here has banned per,nanent installation of Quonset huts as homes and appointed zon- ing committee to draw up an ordi- nance limiting the use of property, the height of buildings and the density of population.
 The Quonset action was preceded bv public sale of about 50 huts by the government. Many homeseekers were planning to move them into the city to make their homes.
 The City Council held that while the Quonsets offer immediate relief from the housing shortage, they are undesirable as permanent struc- lures. and enacted the ordinance limiting them to two years use.
 Also required is the posting Of a S2 900 surety bond, guaranteeing that they be removed. The zoning ordinance was deemed necessary be- cause more than 40 new businesses have been established during the past year, and many of them have been located in the residential sec ticns, bringing protests from neigh borhood homeowners.

the big aviation companies will de- velop improved models of passen- ger planes. Weight of the craft will be decreased in order to boost the load it can carry.
 However, an increase in small low priced aircraft is anticipated, and estimates of the number of private planes in operation five or ten years after the war range from 10000 to 450,000.
 Commenting on postwar archi- lecture, the Kilgore report says you need not expect the appearance of the countryside to alter greatly, especially when pre-fabricated sec- tions are used. Expected to play a big part in postwar building e-fabrication will follow tradit- ional lines and will drop in cost as the market grows.

HAWK INLET MINE
 DEVEL0pMENT E
 MAKING PROGRESS
Canadian Firm Directing Work Toward New En-
 fry fo Lower Level

A new and important gold produc- CT in Southeast Alaska is anticlpat- cd through development work now under way at the Hawk Inlet prop erty formerly known as the Williams Mine. according to Herbert J. Waugh, of Juneau. who is connect ed with the enterprise.
 The property was acquired about twelve year ago by w. s. Pekovlch and was laters transferred to the Alaska Empire Gold Mining Com pany, of Juneau. It was under de- velopment until stopped in the fall of 1942 by order of the WIPE. That development work, dire'ted by MT Pekovich, succeeded in opening two levels and excavating d glory hole
 About a year ago Norman C. Stines, a mining engineer of vast experience in Alaska and elsewhere, now heading the WIPE in the Terri tory, became interested in the prop erty and, as Managing Director evolved with MT. Pekocich a new plan for development of the Will Hams vein, which is to be follow ed during the development activity new in progress. Later the St. Flu gene Mining Corporation, Ltd, a subsidiary of the Canadian corpora tion Ventures. Limited, through the efforts of MT. Waugh, agreed to undertake the development.
 Since then the lower level of the property has been unwatered, eX- animation made and rehabilitation work, including the erection of re- constructed mill, undertaken. F, A.. Rapp, mechanical engineer, a form CT Juneau resident, designed the layout of the mill. Development work is continuing and is to be ac- tolerated as soon as men can be secured to speed it up, MT. Waugh said
 At present, a new road from the beach is the principal project, in or der that as soon as possible the camp may be moved to the mine anc reconstruction of the mill started before much underground work i' undertaken. It is hoped, however that certain preliminary work dir ccted toward new entry into tht
 lower level may soon be started.

NEW WAR VETS
 NOT AFFECTED

 power Quotas

A shot in the arm for mines IS the likely result of new determ- ination of the status of World War II veterans, disclosed today by the office here of the Alaska Director for the War Manpower Commission.
 The determination has resulted from an inquiry made by mine in the Wasilla district which asked for authorization to employ more than the seven men which could be allotted it under present WIPE rulings by the Coordinator ol Mines, B. D. Stewart.
 The request was forwarded to the Washington, D. C.. headquarters o1 the War Production Board, which replied that it is within the juris- fiction of the War Manpower Com mission to decide on such requests for additional employees.
 The WING reports that it has no restrictions limiting World War II veterans in their work choice They
 
 may accept employment regardless of quotas, as far as the WING IS concerned - which means that mines. or other industries, may employ World War II veterans in any number that can be secured MlCnout regard to personnel limlta- tions applying otherwise,
 The WING office here declared that employers may hire discharged veterans of the Second World War at any and all times, but caution cd. however, that the WING can rot speak for the WIPE which, al though it has apparently tossed the decision in the lap of the manpower control agency, still may have some restrictions that will apply in cer- tain cases.
 The WING urgently requests, however, that employers will clear all veterans they may hire through the United States Employment Ser vice, for three principal reasons;
 l. The USES can thus accord better service to veterans.
 3. The WING will be able to keep a more accurate count on the number of veterans employed in any given community. Such data on the distribution of veterans is vital for the establishing of hos pitals and many other services for veterans. Such data can best be correlated through keeping WMo files up to date.
 8. Clearing through the USES will insure the employer that an employee hired is actually veteran of World War II.

 There are strong reasons to be- lieve that improvements will be less rapid and far reaching than is readily assumed" the report, which was prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Labor De- partment, goes on.
