U. ;. NAVY NOW UNFIT 10 FIGHT
 A55ERTS NIMITz


 MIAMI. Fla. Jan. 12 -- Admiral Chester W. Nimitz told Associated Press managing editors last nigh, that demobilization had left the Navy unfit to fight only five months after Japan's defeat.
 The saving grace is there is nobody who threatens to fight us at this time" said the Chief of Naval Operations.
 You all want your boys home as quickly as possible said Nimitz T am wholly sympathetic with the natural desire, even if it is more emotional than practical. The fact remains, however, that it leaves the Navy at this moment unfit to fight"
 The admiral's talk climaxed a day in which editors from every section of the nation heard talks on atomic energy and themselves discussed the problems of editing and reporting.

Huskies PLau CleQn


 Douglas High Huskies, always a clean playing and sportsmanlike quintet, showed surprising strength under pressure last night, and had Juneau guessing. With the score heavily in favor of Juneau during the first three quarters. the Huskies fought desperately for ground and showed teeth-gritting determination tho- ~cckoI no seoond string play ing from the Bears. Only on sub s.-...4~4I w.S n,a,.s on Gne Bears team and one on the Huskies'. The fact that first string Juneau High CTS played the full game indicates how far the Douglas team has come since it's first game this season with Juneau when nine substitutes, prac- tically the Bears full second and third teams, were entered against it Despite the Crimson Bears excel lent defense forces, Bach, undoubt- edly one of the top players in the League this year, scored 20 points
 Defense Support
 Defense support from Bennett Mccormick, Weir and Harju was noteworthy. Many of Douglas Highs former weaknesses had dis appeared last night, particularly in the teams all-over pass work. Strat- egy and aim was good, but fumbles in completing passes were still mo- ticeable. and counted for numerous losses of the ball in crucial moments :, Referees in last nights game were Kessenick and Krogman.

JUNEAUBEARS BEAT DOUGLAS HUSkIE5 4O-35
Fdsi, Exciting Game Played with Record Crowd
 in Attendance

In cne of the hardest-fought and most well attended games of the sea- son.. Juneau High Crimson Bears de- feated Douglas High Huskies by a 40 to 35 margin last night to win two out of the five Gastineau Champion ship sessions of the City Basketball League.
 The two high school teams, back ed by a grandstand filled with cheer ing Douglas and Juneau rooters, played with intense enthusiasm from start to finish. Juneau Highs band and cheerleaders had been transported by bus for the occasion, and Douglas Highs small but spirit ed cheering section plugged away for it's team with unflagging optimism and support Douglas town people were out in full force for the game, and the Crimson Bears were follow ed by a specially chartered bus and many private automobiles filled with loyal fans from Juneau.
 Shots Fall Short
 Juneau High played it's usual strong, well-unified game Shooting was not as good as in previous games, but footwork and heavy defense ac- tion made up for this lack. The Bears scored 40 points, high total for any game, but there were many shots attempted that fell short of the basket by substantial distance, and in several instances, sailed over the blackboard.
 Mead was high scorer on the Ju- neau side with IA points and Aase second high with 10 points. Two ether outstanding players were Mer- ritt, who made the first goal Of the. game, and Hogins, who scored 8 points. Pass work on the Bears team was fast and sure.

 ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-If the national football league bosses are up tn their toes, they'll have a team playing in the Los Angeles Coliseum next fall The only catch is that there's a time limit on negotiations so they'll have to move fast or be shut out by the college monopoly on the big sta- dium. Boston's Ted Collins, the radio guy, was the one who put up Bert Bells name as football commissioner after it was learned that Elmer Layden couldn't muster the one more vote he needed to get new contract. Collins pre- sented such a good argument that no one else was considered. :. And just in case you've been wondering, the football draft defi- nitely will be secret this year. It's another war" measure, designed to keep from revealing any prospects to the All America loop.

THREE STARS IN
 CAPITOL FEATURE
 OPENING T0NIGHI

How love works a miracle in the lives of two lonely recluses forms the sympathetic theme of "The En- Ichanted Cottage" RKO's starring vehicle for Dorothy Mcclure, Rob- ert Young and Herbert Marshall This feature opens at the Capitol tonight for the weekend run
 Miss Mcclure portrays a girl in small New England village whose exceptional plainness has made her something of an outcast, while Young is cast as an Army flyer who, crippled and disfigured in a member crash, has settled in the village to get away from his fam ily's mistaken sympathy.
 The two are thrown together, fall in love because of the mutual af- fliction; and, counseled by blind pianist who understands their prob lems, are married. And it is then that the miracle begins, for the two find that, in each others eyes, they are attractive. The dramatic results of this discovery bring about the stirring climax of the offering.
 Marshall's role of the pianist con- trasts effectively with the charac- terizations of the two stars. Mill dred Natwick, Spring Byington, Hil- 'lary Brooke, Richard Gaines and young Alec Englander have the principal supporting parts.

To Fill Offer to France
BY the Associoted Press

The wheat which Russia has Of
fered to France proved to be mot
yet available" when American ships
called at Odessa to transport it this
week, officials of the War Shipping
Administration said yesterday.
The United States recently offered
nine cargo ships to carry the grain
to France, where it is in short sup
ply, following Russia's proposal to
sell France 100000 tons of wheat
and barley If transportation could
be provided.
VISA spokesmen said, however
that three American ships have
moved out of Odessa without the
grain because of Soviet inability to
produce it.
The VISA agent in Odessa re-
ported he inquired about the wheat
but was told by Russian port au-
thorities that it was not available.
The ships were ordered to proceed
with their originally scheduled
manganese cargoes.
The VISA spokesman said their
Odessa agent acted in accordance
with instructions received from
Washington.
An announcement of Russia S
offer to supply the grain was first
made in Paris by Communist Leader
Maurice Thorez The United States
agreed to provide the transporta-
ton, which the Russians said they
did not have, on Frances request.
