 ANNIVERSARY PARTY
 Over the first weekend of Feb ruary some 3,2Oo clubs and other USO centers, from Hawaii to Ser muda, from Newfoundland to the Canal Zone, and from Brazil to. Alaska, will share in an important celebration. s94{g1S ;
 The occasion will be the Fourth of the founding of the USO as a national organiza- tion. It was in February of 1941 that the Y.M.G.A., the. National Catholic Community Service, The Jewish Welfare Board. the Salva- ton Army, The Travellers Aid So- ciety and the Y.WC.A. joined to- gether to better serve the members of the armed forces.
 Saturday night, February third, is the date and the Baranof Hotel is the place for Juneau's observance of the anniversary. A formal dinner will be followed by dance in the Gold Room.
 Excellent entertainment > is being arranged. It is thought that the affair may even surpass the suc- cess of last years Anniversary Party, so well remembered by all who were in the large crowd present that night.
 Invitations are about to be mailed to as many as possible of the persons known to be interested in the USO. But undoubtedly a not receiving such invi- tations will wish to attend. The fact is: EVERYONE INTERESTED IS INVITED. A capacity crowd is expected. So be, sure to let us know promptly if YOU are coming.

86O-Ship Minimum Urged
As Merchant Marine Goal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
This country's postwar merchant
marine should range between a
minimum of $50 ships and a maxi
mum of 1925, according to experts
of the Harvard School of Business
Administration.
Their report, based on study
made at the request Of the Navy
and Maritime Commission, was
made public without Endorsement of
either agency.
Gross tonnage under the mini
mum goal fixed by the report was
placed at 6,155 900 and under the
maximum at 9,185,o0O.
Estimating that by the end of
1945 the United States merchant
feet would total $500 ships of 1000
gross tons or over, the report out
lined the following suggested alloca-
ton: To United States operators,
1925: to foreign operators, 1850; to
balanced" displacement and
emergency reserve, 1000: to ''resi-
dual" reserve or to be Scrapped,
2,175.
Despite the fact that there will
be large number of ships for which
no use is foreseen," the report said,
there will be deficits of ships for
specific needs"
1t added that postwar construc-
ton of from 245 to $40 ships will be
necessary to fulfill those needs.

1900 D. {. Employees
.WiII Receive Wages
Today or Tomorrow

A total of 1000 District employees,
including 1880 in the Police De-
partment and IT'S in the Fire De-
partment, will be paid today or early
tomorrow, District auditing and dis
bursting officers said today.
At the disbursing Office 1t was said
pay checks already had been given
the Police Department for 1,458 po-
licemen and 122 civilian employees.
The checks reflect the increases
granted in the recently approved
police and fire pay bill.
District Auditor Arthur r. Pilker-
ton said he hoped the fire pay roll
would be ready late this afternoon or
tomorrow morning. In addition, sew
eral thousand other District en-
ployes, including those in admins
trative Offices and institutions, will
receive their pay today. Another
1000 were paid yesterday.
There still are some employees Of
the Health Department to be paid.
Mr.. Pilkerton said he did not have
the exact number, but that he be-
lieved they would receive their
wages within the next three or four
days.
The delay has been caused, Mr..
Pilkerton said, because many of the
rolls came in only recently and many
of them had errors as result Of
changes in the recent Federal pay
bill. He said that one common er-
ror had to do with ingrade promo
tions.
AS an example Of the difficulties
confronting his Office, Mr.. Pilkerton
said that one payroll of nine names
had SO errors.

Miami Paper 10 Take
Contempt Conviction
ToU.5. SupremeC Couri
By the Associated Press.

MIAMI, Fla, July 25.-The United
States Supreme Court will be asked
to consider a decision handed down
yesterday by the Florida Supreme
Court, upholding contempt convic-
ton against the Miami Herald and
Associate Editor John D. Penne-
kamp.
Circuit Judges Paul D. Barns and
Marshall c. Wisehart last December
Is ruled the Herald and MIR. Penne-
kamp in contempt on the basis OF
two editorials and a cartoon criti-
cizing the court. The Herald was
fined 81 900 and Mr.. Pennekamp $3.50.
I'm going to the highest court
in the United States. We stand
squarely on our right to bring the
conduct of our courts to the atten-
ton Of our readers at all times" Mr..
Pennekamp said.
In the Supreme Court ruling-a
5-to-2 decision-Judge Glenn Ter
rell, the majority opinion, said:
"The vice in both the editorials
was a distorted, inaccurate state
ment of facts and with that state
ment were scrambled false insinua-
tions that amounted to unwarranted
charges of craftsmanship and unfair
ness on the part of the judges.
"A newspaper may criticize,
harass, irritate, or vent its spleen
against a person who holds the
Office of judge in the same manner
that it does member of the Legis-
lature and other elective officers,

but it may not publish scurrilous or
libelous criticisms of a presiding
Judge, as such, or his judgment, for
the purpose of discrediting the court
in the eyes of the public.
"*" A free press is no freer than
a free man, the one being as Sc
curely bound by approved canons OF
decency and propriety as the other
Neither Is free to do as 1t will in
total disregard of the rights of
others"
Justice Riers, Buford, dissenting
said he saw nothing in the editorials
or cartoons which imputes a want
Of fairness, impartiality or integrity
to any judge or the court.
Nor do they appear to have. for
their purpose or intent, the inf1u-

Bookbinding Helped
Ease Prison Life for
lnferned Missionary

A knowledge of bookbinding,
acquired in his college days, stood
Elder James S. Russell in good stead
during the four years he was in
termed in German prison camp
and helped him while away many a
monotonous hour.
Now in Takoma Park, Md, Elder
Russell, who is accompanied by his
wife, is comforting with the Mission
Board of the Seventh-day Adventists
on plans to resume his missionary
career which was interrupted when
the steamer Zamzam, en- route from
the United States to Alexandria,
Egypt, was sunk by German raider
in the South Atlantic in April, 194l,
with 322 passengers, mostly mis-
sionaries and their families, aboard.
Elder Russell and his family were
on their way to Tanaganayika,
Africa.
The Russels and their 6-month-old
daughter, Janet, the youngest baby
aboard, were taken prisoner. Be-
cause the United States had not
yCG dCSldlCd Wdl N1l IbUooC11, WllO
is an American, and the baby were
released, but her husband, who is
Canadian citizen, was interned.
He was a prisoner until last April.
Taken to a concentration camp
east of Bremen, Elder Russell offered
to work and started a bookbindery
for the camp library. BY the time
he was liberated library of nearly
1000 books, most of them written in
English, had been collected.
The Germans in charge of the
camp, he said, were not brutal, but
their conduct and the food given
them was a barometer of the way
the war was going. He added that
the Red Cross boxes were a tre-
mendous help.
Recalling that some of the prison.
ers were released temporarily when
they offered to work for the Nazis,
he said that P G. Wodehouse, short
story writer, had been one of the
men in his camp who had taken
advantage of the work offer. These
men, he said, were scorned by their
fellow prisoners and were ostracized
if they ever came back to camp.
Termed PCS for pro-Germans, Elder
Russell said the men in his camp
felt it was particularly appli-
cable to Wodehouse because of his
initials.
The camp apparently was used
by the Allied Air Forces as a direc-
ton finder, Elder Russell said, and
often 1,500 to 1000 bombers would
fly over the camp and then seem to
feather out"
Both Elder Russell and his wife
lived in Takoma Park for several
years, and he attended the Seventh
day Adventist Seminary there. They
are visiting relatives here while
making plans for the future.
