War Between Russia

 Russia Breaks Pact

LONDON Russia has denounced its neutrality pact with Japan on ground that Japan is helping Ge-- many with her war against Russia Moscow radio announced that Mol otov has informed the Japanese that continuance of tha pact is impossible since Japap ia lighting Russia's Allies. the United States and Great Britain.
 Tn such a situation the neutral fly pact between Japan and Russia has lost it's meaning" Molotoy said in the note handed the Jap ambas- sador, The break came in the midst of a new cabinet crisis. The pact was signed in April I94I. Whether Russia would denounce it before the opening of the world security conference this month in San Fran cisco has been the subject of much speculation The treaty ordinarily would run until April 1946.
 Denouncement becomes effective April 13. There was no indication in the Moscow announcement of Russia's intentions in her future re lations with Japan. However. staI- in publicly described Japan as "aD nation"

WLB GIVES INFORMATION
 ON WAGE RATES

JUNBAU-Every employer of ev- en one person must file an applica- tion with the War Labor Depart ment, if he desires to increase or decrease his wage rates for a specif- ic job, War Labor Board announced this week Every new business or new department of an established business must have their wage scale approved prior to commencing oper- ations, WLB pointed out. Employers who have granted wage increases or decreases since October 2, 1942 should immediately file an applica- tion and state in detail the history of wage payments and ask for ap- proVal of a legal wage scale, it was said.
 WLB warned that penalties a r e severe and vidence of good faith will support liberal compromises for past violations. Best evidence of good faith, however, WLB said, is the filing of an application and ad- herence to wage scale as approved by the War Labor Board.
 Further information and forms are available at the OPA office with Mrs. Barnes, Board Clerk. Inquiries may be made to War Labor Board Box 2601, Juneau, Alaska.

Surveying for Sea Wall
 Hf-aH. ssazarua.s Construction

Surveys were started this week on WrangelTs sea wall and street to be constructed along the beach in front of the Federal building.
 Representative F. G Hanford. ia the last Legislature made two at tempts to put measures through for this construction and when these failed, he appeared before a meet ing of the Territorial Road Board and placed the matter before that body for consideration. The Board approved it and actual construction will ebgin as soon at specifications are received from Juneau which should be before May 1.
 The street will be 425 feet long and 20 feet wide and will have or namental lights along the wall. The city has had the ornamental lights on hand for several years. Benches will be installed along the walk for convenience of townspeople who care to stroll along the way on warm summer days and enjoy the oNShtl9 Out ONel tue udIDDI.
 The new street, besides being a decided improvement to the Federal building and lawn in front of it, will connect with the road which passes Farwest Cannery and goes on out the highway to the old APA property, thereby eliminating the present "detour" around the Feder- al building.

Resistance
 Increasing On
 OkinaWaI Is. s-asg, aaMRgea

GUAM-Incredibly low American casualties for the first four days of the Okinawa invasion were report ed by the Navy today in announc- ing a sweeping advance toward the north end of the island by 10th Army forces.
 Increasing resistance is being en- countered in the south near the capital city of Naha. Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz said 175 U. S. sold iers and Marines were killed, 798 wounded up to midnight Wednes- day. This reflected the lightness of opposition. He gave no figures on Navy casualties among the fleets HOO ships which aided in the mo- mentous invasion of hte Ryuku Is lands only 325 miles south of Japan proper.
 No Japanese casualties figures have been announced although they are said to be considerably higher.
 Marines in the north scorer gains up to four miles along the narrow Ishikawa isthmus, still finding in effective" opposition but the 24th Corps of infantrymen was moving on Naha city, 66,O00 population, and had run into increasingly stiff resistance among fixed defenses.
 Their advance, which had previ- ously been measured in miles was now only about three thousand yards and it appeared possible that the first big action of the campaign was building up.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: AS a group of regular Sat
urday Nighters and / gathered
around our Fish and Beer, it was
only natural, since everybody was
talking about it, that the subject
of our conversation would be the
Tuesday morning incident over at
the Illinois Central Depot and its
Affect on the civilians as well as
Negro soldiers morale and spirit
and from one phase to another on
the subject it got around to what
could best be done about it, it being
the general idea of all that this
happening was just fore-runner
of what would happen when the
boys started coming back after the
war ended.
After going over some proposi-
tions, the one which appeared to
be the best idea was one, which
stated that Negro leaders should
start a campaign for LAW AND
ORDER and FREEDOM FROM
FEAR, which after all, Is all the
Negro wants anywhere and any
time. All the other things that he
brings up from time to time are
just other ways of expressing his
desire for community where LAW
AND ORDER and FREEDOM
FROM FEAR for everybody is a
campaign that can be taken up by
churches, lodges, clubs, schools,
doctors, dentists, lawyers, preachers,
teachers and just plain people, who
want to live in a community of
LAW AND ORDER AND FREE
DOM FROM FEAR, and as one
fellow said the campaign ought to
start NOW, before it's too late.
