1e45 RENT TRENDS IN ALASKh EXPLAINED BY
 OpA RENT DIRECTOR

1 Summarizing the i945 rent trends in Alaska. Earl P McCarron, Alas ka OPA Rent Director, announces that the sum of $3752l.00 was lop- ped off the 1945 Alaskan rent bill with rent reductions ordered in l57 cases out of total of 726 regis tered as rented for the first time during the past year.
 Average reductions per unit were given as Sl883 per month.
 Reductions became necessary be- cause of an inflationary trend in rents throughout the Territory, the Rent Director advised, observing that rents had become higher than those generally prevailing in Alas ka on tfe price freeze date of March l, 1942, for comparable hous- ing accommodations
 During the l945 period 2ol land lords filed requests with the OPA for upward adjustments in rents, chiefly on the ground that they had effected major capital improve ments or increased nthe services, furniture or equipment for the rem tai unit. Adjustments were grant, ed in 57 percent of the cases filed and averaged $8 per month per unit, McCarron advised.
 A converted one-room garage in Fairbanks that was rented for the first time, at S110 per month and reduced by Rent Directors order to S35 ger month, was cited as the most drastic rent cut involved.
 That rents would rise to ab- normally high levels unless con- trolled is rather obvious from our records" the Rent Director stated. We continue to have a serious housing shortage in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Ketchikan, Juneau, Doug las and Kodiak, with less acute shortage in Nome, Seward and Cordova. It is of continuing inn portance that we hold rents down to the 1942 level"

G0ERING ARGUED FOR PEACE NAz!
 TELLS TRIBUNAL

i NUREMBERG, March g. = Luft- waffle Gen. Karl Bodenschatz. one time aide to Adolf Hitler, opened Hermann Goering's Legal fight for life before the International Mill tary Tribunal today with testimony that the former Number 2 Nazi had argued for peace from the Munich crisis to the eve of the Soviet in- vasion.
 Neryously flexing his homb-scar- red hands, which nearly were blown off iii 1944 during an attempt by others on Hitlers life, Bodenschatz -Goering's go-between with Hit ler-said Goering had argued against the invasion of Russia on the ground it violated the principles laid down in "Mein Kampf" against two-front war,
 He said Goering also contended the attack on the Russians would give the British chance to revive their aircraft production.
 Testifying from copious written notes, Gen. Bodenschatz told of meeting Goering held on German soil near the Danish border in Aug ust, 1939, with six or eight Eng lishmen in the English government" at which he said he favored sur vival of the British Empire, pledg- ed his influence to keep the peace and asked his foreign listeners to do the same in London.
 Bodenschatz said Goering, as head of the Luftwaffe, lost grace with the Fuehrer in l943 because of Allied air successes in Germany land never reeaptured his influ- ence, although he tried strenu- ously."
 He told the tribunal that Goering emerged from the Munich confer ence room in 1888 crying happily; That is peace.'
 On ss-exanination by Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief prosecu- tor for the United States, there was audible laughter in the court as Bodenscnatz denied that he knew of any orders to increase the strength of the Luftwaffe after Munich.

Pnmer Commission

 Along the same line, at last nights sitting, Stuart pointed out that prior to the year 1887 Cwhen annual reports to the City were in- augurated) the company had listed yearly average of only slightly more than s2,oOO for repairs and maintenance; other expenditmss properly coming under that cate gory, he said, being charged as capital investment
 Since that time, Stuart continued, the company has reversed the pro- c2dure and has in many cases charged items properly capital ex- penses to operating Costs. The re- suit of the company's practices, the engineer declared, is an "involun- tary contribution to capital" by the consumers, who should not have to pay the company a return on what they have already paid for 100 percent. The recent company policy of building up operating costs has resulted in lower show ings of returns, he Said.
 In regard to most items discuss ed at last nights session, Stuart continued his practice of writing reported company figures down A percent because full system costs had been charged up to Juneau instead of the 76 percent portion properly attributable within this city.
