GLENN EDWARDS WRITES

An interesting letter from Glenn Edwards has been received by W. E. Cahill excerpts from which fol- low:
 "Mittersill, Austria, July 28-Now that censorship is not so rigid, can give you somewhat of a des- cription of the kind of country I'm in at present. I am in that part of Austria from which the Nazi Party originated. AS soon as the Americans moved in here, everyone around suddenly became Yugoslavs, Bulgarians, Czechs or Poles, and they had all been fight ing the Nazi Party for years, and they were glad to see us. So they say. These people are very clever, and even the children have been taught to say no when asked if they are Nazi. :.
 "The Bavarian Alps, where I now am, are typical of Alaska, even to climate. It rains every other day, and when it doesn't rain, it's cloudy.
 T have five points for one battle participation, that being against S. s. Troops just before the war ended. There are still a few of those s. S. boys hiding out in the hills around here, and they come staggering in every so often, claim ing nobody told them the war was over.
 "In a few days my outfit is moving back to France. It looks like we are preparing for a trip to the States. I don't think we are slated to go to the Pacific. The war will be over before we ever put troops on Japan proper, think.

 Glenn, who is the son of Mrs. 1 A. R. Edwards of Douglas, was formerly an Alaska Juneau en- ployee and well known here as a musician.

Taken From
Communists
5000 KILLED
Unconfirmed Reports lndi-
cate Casualties Are
Growing Heavier

CHUNGKING, Nov. 49, N -
Chinese Nationalist forces have
wrested Shanhafkwan, coastal
gateway through the Great Wall
into Manchuria, from Chinese
Communist defenders, neutral
sources reported today.
Official dispatches, however,
told of Communist victories in
other civil war-torn North China
provinces, particularly in Shan
tung where Gov. Ho Shu-Yuan
said more than 10000 Nationalist
troops have been killed by the
Reds since the Japanese surren-
der.
While unable to confirm the re-
ported fall Of Shanhaikwan, on
the Peiping-Mukden railroad and
only IA miles north Of Chinwsng-
tao, where American Marines are
on guard, Communist spokes-
man indicated it might be true.
He said the last Communist dis
patch put Nationalist troops only
two-thirds of a mile from the
strategic town, and commented
that four of Generalissimo Chang
Kai-Shek's armies had been land
ed at Chinwangtao for the express
purpose Of forcing the Great Wall
passage into Manchuria.
The forcing Of the Great Wall
might enable Chang to put q
strong force into Manchuria, to
take over cities which the Russians
were reported to be abandoning to
Chinese control.
Official Chinese quarters here
refused to comment on the report
that Chang had appealed to Rus
STA for permission to fly his troops
into Manchuria. But they indirect
ly indicated that this and other
questions were being discussed.
Unofficial SQUIRE S, however,
said they considered it most un-
likely that Chang made direct
appeal to Moscow, pointing out that
if he did and was subsequently
snubbed, this would entail a loss

New Customs Collector

Senator Clyde R. Hoey D-N. c.
said in an interview with Star
representative over long distance
telephone to Washington yesterday
afternoon, that he was not pre-
pared to make any announcement
as to the appointment of Col
lector of Customs for the North
Carolina district.
Revealing that he had recently
conferred with Col. John Bright
Hill, of Wilmington, who is on
leave of absence from the post
while serving in the United States
Army, the Senator reported that
he would confer on the. appoint.
ment with Senator Josiah Bailey,
who is not in Washington at pre-
sent, on the latter's return.
Although he could not set any
date for naming a Collector, he
promised an announcement in the
fairly near future.
Asked his position on the bill, now
before House committee headed
by Rep. Graham Barden, of North
Carolina, to provide Federal aid
to schools, Senator Hoey stated
that he favored the measure say
ing, 1T will do for the nation what
we in North Carolina have done
for our counties"
Senator Hoey explained that
North Carolina, in 1900, had asta-
blished an equalization fund of
$1,000 to provide aid for coun-
ties in which their was insufficient
tax revenue to provide funds for
efficient operation of their schools.
This was done under the regime
of Governor Aycock.
Since then the fund has grown to
Sc, 1000, 600 with the state assuming
responsibility in 1881 for six
months of the school term. In
1888, eight months funds were
provided and finally in 1941 the
entire nine-month period was I'm.
derwritten. Under the plan, 81
counties received aid with SO be-
ing Independent, he said.
The State is now entirely re.
sponsible for the operation of all
schools so the fund has been
abolished.
Senator Hoey stressed that the
states retain full rights under the
bill in administration and conduct
of the school system. The money
is simply to aid those states who
do not have enough tax revenue tc
provide adequate school systems
and to ''universalize" the stand
ards of education throughout the
United States. he added.

Four Day B attic For

BATAVIA, Java, Nov. 13.-(P)-
sultan Sjahrir, youthful Socialist
leader described as a moderate,
became Premier of the unrecog-
nized Indonesian Republic today
and said he probably would fly to
Soerabaja to try to halt bloody
fighting between armed Indones-
ians and British indian troops.
The sweeping cabinet reorgan.

might be settled by negotiation.
In Soerabaja, British forces

lery, continued to edge forward in
the big Dutch naval base, more
than half Of It now reported under
their control.
There was no indication that
the four-day battle was losing
any Of its fury. The British con-
tinued their house-to-house bat
tie against powerful, well-trained
forces, using first-class Japanese
equipment including field artil-
lery.
Sjahrir, whose elevation left
President Soekarno with a title but
with little power, said his first
act probably would be to rush to
Soerabaja with three-man com.
mission to investigate the local
lndonesian leadership and attempt
to stop the fighting.
Heretofore, Saekarno has been
the top executive as president,
without any premier. Sjahrir also
took the posts of Foreign Minister
and Minister of Home Affairs, and
retained only Ministers of Informal
