100000 GERMANS WILL
BE KEPT AS LABORERS

Supreme Headquarters Allied
Expeditionary Force, Paris =
United States armies, which held
2,852,000 German prisoners in
Europe when victory came, will
keep 100000 of them as laborers,
Col. Robert J. Gill disclosed.
Another 100000 to 225,OOO
American-held troops will be
handed over to France for labor
in this country, said Gill, chief OF
the prisoner of war division in
the European theater provost
marshaIs office.
With nearly 100000 prisoners
in the United States and another
$4,000 in Britain, Gill estimated
it would take at least nine months
to cut the total figure to 100000
by various means, some of which
still have not yet been decided
upon.
Gill reiterated previous state
ments of high American military
authorities that German prison
ers would be permitted" to re-
move land mines but declined
further comment on that subject.

Lansing Church
History Is Given

''The present Methodist church
at Lansing, Helton charge,
Statesville district, which was
dedicated last Sunday afternoon,
was organized in May, 1884, un-
der the leadership of DR.. A. c.
Gibbs, district superintendent,
and the Rev. Hobson Houck, who
was pastor of the Warrensville
charge, at that time" it was ex-
planned by the Rev. w. C.. East
ridge, pastor, in discussing the
history of the church.
''There were 80 charter men,
bers when the building program
was begun in 1887 by the pastor,
the Rev. ]. o. Cox. This program
was carried on by the following
pastors, who added their efforts
toward completion of the church:
the Revs. R. j. Startling, J. G.
Wooten, Jr, Pat Murphy, Joseph
M. Taylor, Jr., and the present
PASTOR" it was explained.
'"The building committee was
composed of the following: w. A.
Weaver, L. M. Sturgill, J. H. Gen
try, Burgwin Carter and Mrs. c.
E. Welch. The construction was
under the supervision of w. M
Patton. The cost of the building

every way except for the pews
which are not available at this
time, due to the shortage of ma
terial," it was stated. "Rev. L
M. Bumgarner is responsible fol

\ the Duke Foundation and gen
erous friends, and of all wh(
shared in any way in the build
ing and completion of the church,

PRES. TRUMAN STRONG
FOR A FREE PRESS

Washington - President Tru-
man told IA directors of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors conference that interna-
tional problems will be much
easier to solve if newsmen the
world over have access to the
facts.
He said newspapermen have
responsibility to gather facts rap
idly and accurately and present
them understandingly to the pub
lie.
The Chief Executive discussed
world news freedom for half an
hour with the A. S. N. E. officers,
three of whom are just back
from 40,00O-mile trip to doz-
en- countries where they inter-
viewed Government officials and
editors in the interest of a freer
flow of news in the postwar
world.
The chairman of the three-man
committee, Wilbur Forrest of the
New York Herald-Tribune, told
reporters the group had found
almost complete adherence
among foreign editors, except
those in Russia, to the American
news freedom program. Rus
sian editors only ''agreed in prin-
ciple" to a freer flow of news, he
said.

Government I'm Germany To Be Military

SHAEF, May 16- R Maj. Gen. Lucius Clay, General Eisen- hower's deputy for military oc- cupation of Germany declared "The Allied government in Ger many is going to be military. The Germans know it is going to be military. The United States is go- ing to stay in Germany, in all probability, for a long time"
 Clay said these will be the ini- tial aims of American occupation to smash all that is left of Ger many's potential ability to make war, and to smash all vestiges of Nazism; also ot see that all war criminals are caught and pun- ished.

VETERANS NEEDS IN
 ALASKA ARE STUDIED

The establishment of an office of the Veterans Administration in Alaska at this time Is primarily for the purpose of studying the needs of the veterans in Alaska. Anthony D. Karues, in charge of the office. said today While this study is being made, help will be given vet erans. so far as is possible, in se- curing benefits due them.
 A veteran is defined. Mr Karnes states. as anyone who has served in the armed forces of the United States. in any war. or in peace time. For most benefits available to veterans, 90 days service and all honorable discharge are pre-requi- sites. and most benefits are for wartime veterans.
 The following are some of the benefits available to veterans through the Veterans Administra- ton. Compensation, pensions to de pendents vocational rehabilitation to disabled veterans of World War U education or training of veter- ans of World War II under the G.. IT, Bill, government insurance, death benefits, adjusted compensation for veterans of World War l. medical care, hospital care, soldiers homes, unemployment and readiustment pay, and G. I. Loans for veterans of World War IT.
 As a part of the study of the needs of veterans in Alaska. ques- tionnaires have been sent to all known veterans of World War II now living in Alaska As fast as the names of others are learned, questionaires are being mailed to them. owing to the large number of benefits available to these vet erans, the questionnaire is used: for the present, the number of other veterans residing in Alaska is all that is desired.

Among Christmas greetings re- ceived here from former residents was a note to pr. and Mrs. J. Fl.

The letter continues:
 q will give you the highlights of Ted's Cher son's) experience overseas. now almost one and a half years. Perhaps I wrote you he had been hurt in jumping at night in Normandy on D-Day-was shot at by snipers, taken prisoner of war, was retaken by American troops, later wounded by an 88 mn. which killed the man next to him.
 Ted was evacuated to a hospital in England and had recovered sui ficiently to make the daylight leap in the invasion of Holland. They UEONe LnE NdAlS bul uI ludl pDi llDll of Holland The Dutch were very good to them, but there was the mud. K rations German artillery, bitter cold right out in the open. Ted was commissioned on the field of battle in November and sent to France where he is now.
 Tt won't be a bed of roses in France, but at least he will have officers quarters, stove, mess. etc. Only %, and to have seen so much hell and misery as Ted and other .oys have seen since they are over seas!
 Please tell Mrs. Case she will not receive my annual Christmas card this year, but give her my greetings and tell her when I get stronger I will write her.

 The hospital is considered one of the best built and located of the many erected by the army and navy in Alaska and is said to have cost close to million dollars, including equipment.
 This is Che second military hos pital to be transferred for Che benefit of citizens of Alaska with out capital investment Some months ago the army hospital of 150 beds at Skagway was given to the Alaskan Office of Indian Ar fairs together with a congressional appropriation of S20O.0O0 for it's operation for approximately a year While this hospital will be operat- ed mainly for the benefieiaries Of the Office of Indian Affairs. it has been agreed between the health agencies that certain non-benefici- aries will be accepted for hospitali- zation.
 The Seward army hospital has not been actually transferred" Dr. Carter said. because We do not yet have the funds with which to op- crate 1t. We hope Chat enough Ter ritorial and Federal appropriations will be made to take care of some of the several thousand cases of tuberculosis that need hospital care so desperately.
 We know of no state that is so fortunate as to have been given such consideration by military au- thorities. nor any that can have such expensive facilities without having to build and equip them. We have rare opportunity.

The full import Of all this can [ be certified until after reorganiza- ton of the new Senate in January, when committee appointments ana chairmanships are established But some of it is certain now.
 Senate Minority Leader Wallace H. White Jr., of Maine, already has been appointed by the Republicans as interim chairman of the power lul Republican committee on com mittees. And the man whose job he takes over is Isolationist Sen. Nye. Open on the important foreign rela- tions committee will be the post held by Nye. It probably will go to Sen. Styles Bridges, N. H., who certainly is no friend of the admin lstration, but realignments on the Democratic side of the committee will more than offset that with vacancies left by Reynolds, Clark, Mo-, and Guy M. Gillette, of Iowa, to be filled.
 In addition to all this, the health of Sen. Hiram Johnson, of Calif., once one of the most powerful of the so-ealled isolationists, doesn' | permit his taking the active role he once held.
 There still is an. Important non interventionist bloc in the Senate, greater in number in fact than the six 2ro sidetracked participation in world peace plans after World War I. Just how active it will come to be undoubtedly will depend on pub lie opinion as peace plan ratifica- tions come to a vote.

ON THE WASHINGTON FRONT
By Jack stinnett

WASHINGTON = Make no mis- take about it, the color of the 18th Congress on many matters is going to be quite different from that of the 18th. To explore all shades of 1t will take a whole series of arJi- cles and some of those shades cant be determined until the first battles of next January and Febru- ary make the alignments more clear.
 However, one thing is certain: on the matter of foreign policy, the administration has made it's great est gains since well before Pearl HarboT.
 This is a vital point now, since the resignation of aging Secretary of State Hull. Probably more than any member of the cabinet, Cordell Hull had the respect and admira- ton of Congress. His policy of CO., operation with representatives of both sides of the Capitol did much to dispel the antagonism between the legislative d executive branches.
