has helped equip the British-Indian Army, that this lend-lease has been used not to fight the war, but chiefly to prevent revolt.
 They have argued that if Gret5 Britain is to give any real man. power assistance in the war against Japan, India is the nearest, great est, quickest reservoir of men. But they have also pointed out that the British Government, instead of en- deavoring to cooperate with the United States, has actually pulled in the opposite direction.
 These are strong statements. But they are made by responsible people in the State Department. For instance, last year Wallace Murray, then Political Adviser to the Secretary of State, now U. s. Minister to Iran, addressed a memo to Secretary Hull to the effect that the British were spend- ing money on an anti-American campaign in India. Easing this on high rank king Indian official sources, Murray reported.
 "The British are spending 00,000 rupees this year in India for anti American propaganda and are spending Rs. 100000 for anti Indian propaganda in the United States.
 "One manifestation of the anti American propaganda indulged in by the Government of India is the official attitude towards certain questions asked by British soldiers at lectures.
 "One question that often crops up is Lend-Lease and how does it work. This was referred to New Delhi and although nothing was written down as the standard stock answer, the word was sent around to everybody that the stock answer was to be to the effect that Lend- Lease is means thought up by President Roosevelt whereby after this war, the Americans would control all markets in countries where Lend-Lease exister. A great deal of emphasis was to be lplaced on the effect of American control of trade in India"
 In conclusion, MT Murray com mented: Tt is recognized that the British feel that the American in- fluence is prejudicial to their in- tereStS and that anti American ! propaganda in one form or an- other is encouraged by the British. ' U. $. POPULAR WITH INDIANS , Another significant report, writ i ten earlier, came from John Davies, ' Jr.. Political Adviser to Gen. Stil- well. In forwarding this report from India to Washington, Ambas- sador Phillips commented: MT. Davies views and interpretation of the Indian political problem are entitled to great respect. The mission considers that he has pre- sented an excellent summary"
 We are going to invade Burma, ' Davies wrote just as the Burma campaign was supposed tO get Nnder way in l943 But what as, pray? As silent partners to the British in the reestablishment of colonial domination over Burma?
 "One suggestion is that so far as the British are concerned, the big Burma show is off. I am still as

 Roosevelt tried among other things to tap the vast reservoir Of manpower in India. where the British have an army of around 100000 men, chiefly engaged in preventing Indian revolt. But when the late President suggested that political conditions in India be improved in order to give the Indian Army an incentive to fight, Churchill banged on the table and proclaimed that India was part of the British Empire.

Proposing Putting Atomic Energy 10
 Purposefu! Work

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29-A mil lion kilowatt atomic energy plant - which would help scientists turn to peaceful use the fearsome power unloosed over Japan-is envisioned by Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, whose genius aided creation of the tonic bomb.
 The California Institute of Tech nology physicist who headed the governments laboratory at Los Ala mos, N M, outlined his plan in an address before scientists and stu dents at the University of California at Los Angeles.
 He made it clear that he has not yet put the suggestion before gov ernment officials, but said the plant could be made at least partially lf-supporting by generating elec- tricity.
 He said he had in mind a machine which would produce a gram of neu irons the atomic particles which trigger" the bomb daily, plus large quantities of a type of radio active carbon valuable in medicine.

TREVOR DAVIS IS STILL "BUGS" ON
 PICTURE TAKING

Although a professional photog- rapher in Juneau for the past three decades, Trevor Davis of the Snap Shoppe, has not lost the enthusiasm and love of photography that keeps a camera-fan ever on the watch for an exciting picture.
 Armed with his huge and heavy l2 by 20 view camera, the only one in Southeast Alaska, and probably in the entire Territory. he journeys to the Glacier, Douglas Bridge, Shrine Island, or some such scenic point at least once each week, often much more frequently. The fact that he has photographed these places an mcountable number of times already appears to have no ef- feet on the excitement and eagerness with which he sets out, according to his associates.
 One picture, a remarkably detailed photograph of Juneau at Night was taken several midwinter sea- sons ago from Douglas near Mikes 2 Setting up his camera at the frigid midnight hour, MT Davis stood by to see that wind movement did not

 Today this picture, along with ap-
 proximately a dozen other such shots, is on display, delicately tinted and framed, in the photographers Christmas window The painstak- ing patience and interest that MT. Davis has shown in capturing the most scenic of Juneau vicinity's charms appears in every picture.
 Just before the Alaska Juneau mine was closed for the war-years, he photographed the mine lights blazing out against the harbor line. Dozens of different angles, speeds, and timing were tried before he achieved the one photograph satisfy ing him that the A-J mine had been captured at it's nocturnal best.
 MT Davis has full claim to be- ing one of the "oldtimer" photo graphers of Juneau. Literally de- cades before he became the pro- prietor of the Snap Shoppe in '34, he and his many-siZed, many shaped and weight camera have been a familiar sight along the scenic paths of the surrounding country.

FEPC Head Sees
End Of War Time
Gains For Negro

WASHINGTON - (.ANP) - Ne
gro workers stand in grave danger
OF losing disproportionstely their
wartime employment gains. said
Malcolm Ross, FEPC chairman.
here last week. The reason, he
said, is because these and other
minority workers were concen-
trsted in those occupations and
industries which have suffered the
greatest immediate cutbacks and
have the least postwar future.
Disclosing that Negroes formed
from IS to 50 per cent Of the re-
lief rolls at the beginning Of the
defense period in 194l. he said
that they represented only two
per cent Of all persons in war in
dustries In 1912. But by Novem-
Der. 1914. rs q result Of the de-
mands Of war production and the
national non-discrimination pol
Icy. they were S.3 per cent Of all
war workers. Over one million
Negroes had been added to the
civilian labor force. Ross said.
and the number employed as
skilled craftsmen. semi skilled
operatives and foremen had in
creased from SOC, 900 to 1000, 900.
THE NEGRO'S greatest wartime
advances were in such industries
as aircraft, shipbuilding. aluminium
and magnesium products, ammuni-
ton, explosives. small arms and
pyrotechnics. guns, howitzers. ord
nance accessories, tanks. nortars
and other war equipment Ross de-
clsred. The greatest utilization Of
skill was in the field OF ship
building.
There is much 20 indicate that
the Negro is already suffering dis
proportionately in the present
period OF rehabilitation. Ross con-
tlnued Figures available one
month after VI day showed that
although Negroes were II per cent
Of all workers in industry. they
accounted for Is per cent OF the
total decrease OF employment This
means that not only were Negroes
laid Of! in diSproportionate man
ner in war industries but also that
they found fewer opportunities in

sale Of lands along the Arkansas

located actually belongs 10 them.
In previous years they have also
contended for interest on the
