M(NUTTBA(k TO OLD POST,
 PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6..-Presi- dent Truman today announced the appointment of Paul V. McNutt as United States High Commissioner to the Philippines.
 The President told his news con- ference that he had sent McNutt's nomination to the Senate and that the present War Manpower Commis- sion chairman would take over his new duties as soon as his nom- ination has been confirmed.
 When a reporter asked whether he was considering appointing Rob- ert P. Patterson, Undersecretary of War, as a member of the Supreme Court to succeed the retired Justice Owen Roberts, the President said he had not made up his mind on that appointment.
 At the same time MT Truman said Roberts had finally turned down his offer of an important diplomatic post, which he identified for the first time as that of Judge on the International Military Tri- bunal to try German war criminals.

WAR FUND
 DRIVE TO
 GET START
Next Monday Noon Set for Beginning One Week
 Campaign Here

Starting next Monday afternoon the people of Gastineau Channel will have their chance to prove once more that their hearts are in the right place. Not that this fact needs demonstrating, but because a great cause needs support, the op- portunity will present itself.
 In other words, September 10 is the date for the opening of the l945 National War Fund Drive. And the members of the local organiza- ton, meaning some 90 or 100 of the hardest working Juneau and Doug las folks, are all set to put the drive across in approximately one week.
 "The generous people of this con- munity are going to find 1t pleas ant experience to give to this great humanitarian cause. Because of the nature of that cause, the situation couldn't be otherwise" said Frank Hermann, Chairman of the cam- paign, today. "The responsibility Of our organization is to make 1t as simple and easy as possible to make contributions. We believe we are all ready to do just that"
 By means of the money collected locally, as we'll as in practically every other community throughout the nation, the fund makes possible the world wide efforts of the USO and USO-Camp Shows, the War Prisoners Aid, the United Seamen's Service, as well as the saving of lives in many of the destitute areas of the world that have been so terribly ravaged by the war.
 E. L. Bartlett, Delegate to Con- sress from Alaska and member of the National Board of Directors of the National War Fund, stated to- day: This coming winter, as per haps never before, there will be ur- gent need in Europe for the helping hand of the National War Fund. Even this spring, when I travelled to the British Isles and to the Con- tinent, it was tragically apparent that the winter months would find millions of people desperately short of clothing and food.
 Our help is urgently needed. Through the medium of the Nation al War Fund, Americans have op- portunity to give on voluntary ba- sis to alleviate the sufferings of a stricken world. Alaskans have re- sponded in full measure to this ap- peal in the past and I know they will respond in the same manner this year. Help now will mean that thousands upon thousands will live through who otherwise could not ex- ist Under the leadership of Mrs. John Mccormick plans are now be- ing made whereby every Alaskan will have opportunity to contribute ac- oording to his ability and desire"
