sands of men and women composing
UNRRA's staff throughout the
world who carried on the day-to-
day work Of this organization"
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Acheson's s
address of welcome, UNRRA Direc-
tor General La Guardia declared
that sthe entire Council thanks
you for your kind words"
Later today Mr.. LaGuardia, who
has been critical Of this country's
future plans for unilateral relief
operations, will make his final re-
port on UNRRA activities for the
period between July ! and Sep
tember 80.
LaGuardia to Resign.
Before the sessions conclude some
time late this week, Mr.. LaGuardia
will submit his resignation and the
council will name a successor.
Present plans call for UNRRA to
halt the purchase of relief supplies
for Europe on December 81 and for
the Far East on March 81.
Shipments of food and other sup
plies contracted for before these
dates will continue to move to
needy countries, officials have
pointed out. Thus, ANAL windup
may not come in some areas until
mid -1947.
This, however, will be the last
time the full council meets. The
group Is expected to delegate all its
future authority to the central COM
mittee, made up of the United
States, United Kingdom, Russia,
France, China. Australia. Canada,
Yugoslavia and Brazil.
Other Plans on Agenda.
Also expected on the agenda are
plans for transferring remaining
functions Of UNRRA to various
United Nations groups and the
adoption of a budget for 1947.
The fiery head of UNRRA may
take last slap at proponents Of
future relief by individual nations.
Mr.. LaGuardia seeks formation Of
an organization similar to UNRRA
within the framework Of UN.
Preliminary estimates show that
more than $2,940. .o00. 600 worth Of
relief supplies have been sent needy
countries since UNRRA came into
being in November, l943. OF this
total. about 81, ,178, ,000, 900 has been
for food and more than &682, 900 900
for industrial rehabilitation equip
ment.

ENSIGN CERDES
REPORTED DEAD

Mr.. and Mrs. H. J. Gerdes, 2022

terday by letter from Navy Sec
rotary James Forrestal advising
the parents that the Navy depart
ment considered their son, Ensign
Herman John Gerdes, Jr., de-
ceased.
A graduate Of the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis In
the Spring class Of 1913, Ems.
Gerdes was declared missing "a
action" on Aug. %, 1914 when his
submarine, the USS Robalo failed
to return from a mission in enemy
waters off the Philippines. The
submarine was last heard OF on
July 2, 1914.
The parents held to the hops
that their son was alive; a hope
inspired when the Navy depart
ment learned, following Japan's
surrender, that four unidentified
members of the Robalo crew had
been taken prisoner. However, &C.
cording to Secretary Forrestars
letter received today, diligent
search of American military Of
ficials in Japan had failed, thus
far, to produce any evidence in
dicating the four Robalo prisoners
had lived through their imprison-
ment. Japanese records did not
give the mems names, the letter
said.
Ensign Gerdes attended grammar
school in Wilmington and in
Florence, S. c. He was graduated
from the Florence High School and
while attending the Citadel in
Charleston, received his appoint
ment to Annapolis.
The young ensign married Miss
Billie Brown of Florence in June,
1913, few months before sailing
for his overseas assignment. The
widow is in Italy with the Ameri.
can Red Cross.
In addition to his wife and par.
ents, Ensign Gerdes is survived by

And take it from one who knows, Juneau streets were slippery, hard, ice coated this morning and 1t is perhaps okay to fall, bump once, but when you get up and go bump again, and then do nose dive into a snow bank to prevent an- other bump and can't even see the spot on your anatomy where you lit-it's no joke. Once is enough.
 The rain and wind last night certainly whipped the snow off to certain extent from the streets, leaving that substance where one goes bump no matter how careful you think you are.
 TaxieS were having hard time and out the highway the road was one solid coating of ice and autos and trucks were navigating cautiously.

ROTARY GIVES
 ANNUAL XMAS
 TREAT TO KIDS

The annual Christmas party giv- en by the Rotary Club for members and their small fry were held today ] in the Gold Room with old Santa Claus himself providing the merri- ment. Approximately 50 "Juniol Rotarians" were seated around the small tables with proud fathers delegated to tables in the back ground for today's activities.
 Hank Harmon made a convincing St. Nick, heralding his entrance with the appropriate sound of sleigh bells and plenty of jolly noise. So enthusiastic in his role was Santa that few youngsters took off for the safety of parents laps, but calm was restored when Santa assured the little ones that his sack was filled with gifts for everyone.
 k-in-the-box Buddy Hunter assisted Santa in the enjoyable pro- gram that followed with the boys and girls providing the entertain ment.
 The first number was a song en- titled There is Joy" sung by a chorus which included Gretchen and Helen Jane Adams, Carla Cart CT, Paige Whitehead, Carol Law renee, Nancy Mcdowell, Julia Hud- son, and Billy Case Virginia White head provided the piano accompani- ment.
 The three Blanton children were next on the program with Sandy doing a fine job of Turkey in the Straw on the piano, Suzan reciting There Once Was A Snowman" !" and Tom contributing Christmas hymn.
 Jim Harmon played Jingle Bells and brother Joe followed with a recitation about Jack and Jill. Stuart Whitehead played piano selection and little Jimmy Filler man gave a recitation on the Holy Family in Bethlehem"
 Roll call was taken and Santa greeted each thrilled little guest by name adding appropriate personal comments that pleased everyone The happy hour came to a close with the distribution of stockings filled with Christmas goodies fetch ed from Santas big pack-sack.
