u. S. slaughter of cattle in plants
under inspection during November
totaled 1,407,956 head, new high
record for that month. The total
was 20 per cent more than the s.
year average for that month. The
renewal of government set aside
orders on beef is expected to give
added stability to the cattle market
for several months and may
strengthen the market for lower
grade cattle. Cattle fattened on soft
corn are expected to move to market
in the first three months of 1946.

 Mir. Wood deplored the fact that recent visitors have reported that Federal employees told them Alas ka will never be developed in your life time"
 If I believed that" said the speaker, T would go back to my home town in Colorado and die in peace in the lovely climate of that state, instead of risking my neck in Alaska"
 MT. Wood said his Newsletter is open to all letters of opinion and from Alaskan residents who do not agree with his express sion of truth as I see it."
 In speaking of the work being done by Office of Price Admins tration, Mir Wood said that the office was doing a hard and vitally job in keeping down "gold-rush-day prices" in Alaska.

MansIaughter Plea Made by
 James Willis
Only Meeks Case Now Left on Courts SIafe- -Mur-
 der Trial Monday

Last of the preliminaries to the main event on the current District Court calendar here ended in quick TKO this morning when James Franklin Willis, negro Navy fireman indicted for murder in the second degree, withdrew his plea of not guilty to that charge and substituted a plea of guilty of manslaughter.
 The change of plea by Willis came as a last minute surprise, both Gov ernment and defense counsel hav- ing affirmed yesterday that the case would go to trial.
 With the Willis case out of the way, only two charges against George Harrison Meeks now remain on the District Courts criminal slate. A possible third case may come from the recent Spokane, Washington, arrest of man secret ly indicted by the grand jury here and against whom removal proceed ings have been commenced.
 Meeks' Indictment
 Of the two indictments against Meeks-first degree murder and as- sault with dangerous weapon-the murder charge is set to be heard first and it is anticipated that it's outcome will determine whether the assault charge will ever be tried.
 The Meeks murder trial first scheduled to have commenced Mon day morning of this week, then shifted to follow on the heels of the Willis trial, has now again been set by Presiding Judge J. w. Kehoe. This morning, at the request of U. s. Attorney Patrick Gilmore, Jr., Judge Kehoe set the Meeks trial over till next week-to open next Monday afternoon at o'clock.
 Thirty members of special venire of petit jurors drawn to hear the two murder cases reported this morning for the opening of the Willis hearing, in company with the g members of the regular petit jury panel.
 Special Venire
 Sixty new names had been drawn for the special venire, but only half of that number reported today. No report has been received on jurors served at Sitka and it is possible that more will be coming in from there in time for the Meeks trial Those of the special panel in court this morning were qualified by the U. s. Attorney and excused until ? o'clock this afternoon when they were to report back for instruction by the court. Members of the regu- lar petit jury panel were excused until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, when a civil action-Sam and Iris Adams vs A. s. Glover-is to be heard by jury.
 Before recessing court this .norn- ing, Judge Kehoe ordered the pres ence of all defendants that have pleaded guilty ana nave not yec been sentenced in court this after noon at 3:30 o'clock, when, he said, he would announce the time for their sentencing. Included in the list are: Willis, Thomas Sumstad, Louis J. Sedlauk, Charlie Chuck, Joseph William Johnson, Carroll Hambrick, Jr., and Ernest Mckinney.
 By entering plea of guilty of manslaughter this morning, Willis made himself liable to penalty of from one to 20 years imprisonment The second degree murder charge on which he was indicted carried a minimum penalty of IS years, to life imprisonment.

Surely the appearance Of Wallace IN

That should present a sizeable OBJ

If young Roosevelt feels that Wallace

the situation is critical. This becomes
