THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

When the Democratic territorial convention met in Fairbanks on January 24 to 27, 1944, it insert ed as plank No. in its platform the following:
 We affirm our belief in the Am erican principle of equality of op- portunity among all people without reference to race, creed or color and whenever discrimination exists for such reasons we seek to over come it by moral suasion and by law" According to the minutes oi the meeting this was unanimously adopted without objection.
 On April 12, 1914, the Juneau Empire in commenting editorialIy on Gov. Gruening's report to the Secretary of the Interior said;
 We heartily agree with the Gov ernor in condemning racial discrim- ination. We think that the inclu- sion in the Territory's Democratic nlatform of plank urging anti discrimination legislation, largely as a result of the work of Walter P Sharpe from this division, is healthy sign that this will be. taken care of, also.
 On January 31, 1945, shortly after an anti-discrimination bill had been introduced in the Terri torial House of Representatives, the Empire, commenting on the bill, said:
 No law can remedy this situa- tion On the contrary, we honestly believe that law which would attempt to force an elimination of racial discrimination, such as tbis measure now in question, vould only serve to heighten racial discrimination. That is because ra- ciaf discrimination is practiced In so many other ways than simply re- fusing to allow all Indian ln place of business. The effect Will he we believe, 10 bring about on the part Of those who practice ra- claI discrlminauIon greater use of those other ways. For that req son we do not believe this Wise pill" &A
 Among those attending the Fair banks convention as delegates and who, it appears from the minutes supsorleo uue equal rights plank wels Representatives Alaska s. Liack or FairoanNs and Curtis Shat tuck of Juneau. When the anti discrimination b.h, introduced by Representative Edward Anderson, came up in the house among those voting against were Linck anu Shattuck. Editorially against no" appears to be the Empire which seems to have changed it's mind since last April as obviously have Delegates Linck and Shattuck, who are now full-fledged representa- tives. It's an old political trick to be for anything and everything be- fore election and sometimes differ ent afterward.

There's a possibility that Wran- gelI may get it's school bonds can- celled by the present legislature, all because of the much-needed WrangelI sea-wall It happened something like this: Representative Hanford tossed his bill in the hop per asking for an appropriation Of S1O,0OO out of the roads funds to construct the sea-wal. The solons are a little chary about tapping the roads funds for special projects so one of the senators from the inter- for advanced the idea Wrangell might be given something else so he had a resolution drawn up propos- ing cancelling Wrangell's school bonds amounting to $20,000. He held that most of the towns of the Territory at some time or other had gotten special appropriations foi their schools but Wrangell had re ceived nothing-and never asked for anything So far the scheme is just telling but it has prospects Meanwhile, Chairman Hanford oi the Ways and Means committee smiles on-committally; reads pas sages from his sea-wall bill; ad' mits cancellation of the schoO bonds would be a fine thing an( when cornered on the proposal say' something along this line: Nov you take that sea-wall bill ant etc. and etc."

HEADQUARTERS, Handy, Cey-
Ion, Jan. 5.-The city of Akyab,
third largest port in Burma and
for two years an important Jap
anese supply base, has fallen to
British and Indian borne
forces. Allied headquarters an
nou'4ced today. u..
A communique said the attackers
had swarmed ashore on Akyab
Island-on which the city Is situ-
ated-early Wednesday without en-
countering any opposition.
The island is firmly in our
hands" the bulletin declared.
ALyab, which has a normal pop
ulation of about 10000 and is situ-
ated at the mouth of the Kaladan
River on the Burmese west coast,
has been prime objective of the
Allied drive in Southwest Burma
The Japanese were reported to have
had about 1000 troops on the island
at one time, but they evacuated
the garrison and most of their
weapons the night before the Allied
landings.
Japs Leave BOBBY Traps.
The retreating Japanese left be-
hind many BOBBY traps and mines.
In withdrawing, they tried to take
some of the coolie class of the local
population, but many of the edu-
Gated middle class rebelled and
threatened to resist with guns
buried by the British when they re-
treated in 1912.
The Allied landing forces struck
from three directions, some landing
on the northern beaches from naval
craft, some crossing a 4-mile stretch
of water from Foul Point on the
mainland and others crossing in To-
cal boats from Kudaung Island to
the east.
RAF Captain Gets Credit.
The actual capture of Akyab Is
land is credited to Raj Group Capt
w. D. David, who landed a small
haison plane there January ano
found the entire Japanese garrison
had fled New Year day.
The enemy abandonment of Akyat
without firing shot was in direc,
contrast to the bitter defense put
up through two previous campaigns
in which British offensives were
blunted and thrown back.
