RAT CONTROL WORK STARTS; SURVEY MADE
Block Leaders 10 Get Busy in Various Zones
 Throughout City

Zone and block leaders from Zones g and 16, met at the Juneau Public Health Center last night to map final plans for the rodent control survey in those respective areas. Films on rat control were shown and the survey sheet, to be used in checking on garbage stor- age and disposal, rat harborage, rat infestation and ratproofing needs, was discussed.
 Within the next few days, block leaders in these two zones will start their survey Not every premise will be visited but a representative cross section of each area will be made Residents are requested to lend every aid to these workers, citizens of Juneau, who have volunteered their time and energy to secure in- formation needed to develop long range rat control program for the city. Zone g, D. G. Taylor, Leader, is bounded by West 9th Street, Calhoun Avenue and Gold Creek. Zone l6, Dr. William Whitehead, Leader, is the area northwest of Harris Street from 3rd to 7th streets.
 According to Frank A. Metcalf, Chairman of the Committee on Zones of the Juneau Rodent Con- trol Program, which is conducting the survey, it has been estimated that the rat population of con- munity equals the human popula- tion, and that each rat costs the people of Juneau about $20 per year to maintain through the de- struction of foodstuffs and other merchandise and damage to build ings.
 Aside from destroying property, rats cause the spread of bubonic plague, typhus fever, infectious jaundice and certain types of food poisoning.
 Tn order to attack the problem, y stated Metcalf, it is first neces- sary to take away their food sup ply, their hiding places and thelr breeding places. When this has been accomplished trapping and poisoning will be of more lasting benefit
 Workers in Zone ' under the leadership of Garland Boggan, will complete plans for surveying their area at a meeting at the Health Center tonight at 7:30 o'clock. By the end of next week workers in all zones are expected to be ready to begin their survey.

CHARGE I5 MADE AGAINST DEFENSE,
 NUREMBERG TRIAL
Claims Attempt Made 10 Disseminate Anti-Sem-
 fife Propaganda

NUREMBERG, April g. Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief United States prosecutor, charged before the international Military Tribunal today that the defense was attempt ing to disseminate anti-Semitic propaganda" through the war crimes trial and had committed Fragrant contempt of court"
 Jackson based his charges on an exhibit of documentary evidence which the tribunals presses had printed for defendant Alfred Rosen- berg. Jackson contended the ma terial, which he described as "vio- lsntly anti-Semite and irrevelant rubbish had been submitted to the printers by Rosenberg's counsel af- ter it had been rejected by the tri- bunal.
 Jackson's charges brought an im- mediate and sharp reaction from defense counsel, whose spokesman, tall, white-haired Dr. Rudolf Dix, replied with suggestion that Jack son retract.
 q stand on the facts,' Jackson rejoined and exhibited to the tri- bunal stencilled copies of the re- jected material.
 Jackson read to the tribunal ex- cerpts from Rosenberg's book of documentary evidence which char acterized Jews as bastard popu- lation X, arrogant, shrewd and crooked"
 ''Ihe United States cannot print and disseminate to the press this violent anti -Semitism," Jackson de- clared.

 Contrasting the opportunities and difficulties that faced the seniors graduating just before the war, dur ing the war, and at present, Klein said that high school graduates to- day have greater opportunities for a more stabilized and certain future than at any time in the past five years.

Bumper Cranberry
cr0p Is Harvested

WASHINGTON. - Turkey eaters,
honing their appetites this holiday
season, will not want for tangy cram
berry sauce, for another bumper
crop of the tart berry that adds
tradition as well as zest to holiday
feasts has been harvested in the
Cape Cod district.
True to form, the Cape Cod sector
again will supply about two-thirds
of the nations cranberry supply.
Occasionally, as in 1914, the Cape
Cod crop falls short of expectations
and the berry is scarce in the ma
tons grocery stores.
Thousands of harvesters, working
with slotted scoops and nimble fin
gers through the fall. months, have
combed the nations boys to gather
more than 100000 barrels. The crop
is second only to the 1887 output Of
877, 300 barrels. In 1912 as well as
in 1887, Massachusetts, marshes pro-
duced few thousand barrels more
than their estimated total of $50 900
barrels for the present crop.
More than $50 1000, 1000 is invested
in the scientific business of growing
and processing cranberries. The in
dustry puts to use about so square
miles of land that previously lay
waste, unsuited to any other type Of
agriculture. The new crop, worth
about $4,000, 900, will reach stores in
the form of sauce, juice and deny.
drafted fruit, as well as in raw fruit
form.

elusive story, SO sent it as a dis

Bile, that, with the ancient Franco
German hatred so recently famed
to new fury, Marianne would take
her traditional enemy to her
bosom.
The story was broadcast and that
was the end, until, some 10 months
later. it was confirmed in matter
of-fact statement of the French min
lister of population, then touring
America.
A copy of the original dispatch
which I exhumed from the files re-
fleets my feeling in its incredibility
as l stood admidst the ruins of a
German city with the memories of
twice-devastated France clear in
my mind. The idea now apparently
is accepted without comment.
How well the plan will succeed,
l do not know. But to me it is
comforting thought that it has
been proposed because it shows so
clearly how war hates are artificial
things, and bear no part in the re-
lationships between individuals.

myl Failure to recognize that fact

military nation of its time to be
licked twice in a generation.
It was this characteristic,
feel sure, which caused Amer
leans of all sorts to swing much
farther toward the conservative
side than they normally would
have done. Their patience had
been exhausted by the efforts of
screaming minority to implant
Communism on our soil and thus
attempt to bring to this country
the very thing from which
America was supposed to be the
escape, tyranny of the minor
ity.
OF late it has become the style to
sheer at the majority. The vulgar
herd" and the "mob" were the con-
temptuous epithets of kings. The
modern majority-scorner is more
careful of his language. He phrases
it so that it will appeal to the "peas-
ant and worker" or to the readers
of persuasive and expensive page ad-
vertisements in metropolitan papers.
The language differs when it comes
from the extreme right and the ex-
IRENE left, but its purpose is the
same: minority rule. Totalitarian-
ism as produced by Hitler or a
Stain is not too different from that
more subtly suggested by the power
full pressure group in a capitalistic
country.
The Both congress has tougher
job than the 10th. We hope it will
be able to handle it. It was not
elected to smash labor. It was elect
ed to carry out a mandate (among
others) to help keep labor from
smashing itself.
