fashioned type coal and wood burn ers) and certain types of household furniture.
 Only once in the three years that Walter Hoepfner has been prisoner of the Russians has the family received any word direct from him. This was a letter re- ceived last Christmas in the form of Russian Red Cross card. At that time, Hoepfner wrote that he was in a lumber camp with about 2C00 prisoners of war in Neshni Tagil. which is a place in South ern Siteria. Since her husband is an artist of exceptional ability, Mrs. Hoepfner feels that the Russians will not release him as quickly as some of the other less skilled pris- oners
 Youngsters Go To School
 Anita and Peter trudged off to public school Monday for the first time, happy and carefree as any Juneau youngsters. There will be no bombs to interrupt studies this year and send the children scurry- ing off to air raid shelters for safety. Mrs. Hoepfner is enthusi- astic over the advantages offered under the local school system and states that German schools are still very primitive compared with American.
 Mrs Hoepfner came to Juneau to be near her brother, Carl tHap- py) Seegert, who has been a resi- dent oi the Territory for ten years. At the present time, Happy is trying to make arrangements for his sister and the children to rent a Quonset hut in Douglas. After the housing situation is no longer a problem, the Hoepfner family will be able to settle down to a normal, happy, American way of life in this land of their choice. Since arrival, the Hoepfners have been living at the Juneau Hotel. The mother hopes to secure work here eventually to support the little family of three.

[ Among the recent arrivals in Jul
 neau is one family especially thrilled to become part of this
 land of opportunity
 The newcomers are Mrs. Walter Hoepfner and her two children
 Anita, aged nine, and five-year-olo
 Peter Among the many American citizens unable to leave Germany
 at the outbreak of hostilities in Europe, the Hoepiners lived through 1 the war years in the midst of bcmbs and destruction that final
 ly shattered the Na2i military ma chine
 Mrs hoepIner a~d her two youngsters are trying to forget the air raids, hunger and devastation Of the year 1945 but they can't quite forget that their husband and father is still in Southern Siberia as a prisoner of the Russians. With hope rekindled in hearts that have experienced long years of fear and privation, the Hoepfners are already building new plans for better, different way of life and are anxious to become useful addition to the community.
 Mrs. Hcepfrer iived in New York until the age of 2l and at that time went to Germany where she married Walter Hoepfner but nev- CT relinquished her American cit izenship. The HoepfnerS lived near Magdelburg, in a farming section of about 4000 population, from the year 1883 until August of the pres ent year. Anxious to return to the United States, she contacted the American consul in Berlin last summer and with her old pass pert had no difficulty in making the necessary arrangements to leave Germany Mrs. Hoepfner said approximately 500 American citi- zens who had been stranded in German territory during the war were aboard the small Liberty ship that brought them across the ocean. Also aboard were some AGO Polish Jews who had been liberated from concentration camps and sent to America as war refugees.
 Recalls l945 Air Raids
 In speaking of the war years Mrs Hoepfner recalls the air raids of l945 when the American bombers came ofer their city three and fcur times a day and again in the night but, although some of the nearby towns. including Dessau and Magdelburg were flattened to the ground, their own city received cnly slight damage because of the famous I. J. Farben dye works nearby. The bombers carefully spared this important chemical works for future use and so the people in the Hoepfner's commun- ity felt comparatively safe during the raids taking place around them. aimed chiefly at nearby airplane factories

Food Rationed


 The new Juneau resident said that although food was carefully divided in Germany during the war years, and despite the fact that much of the stored supplies were ruined in air raids, food available did remain under good price con- trol In the first few years Of the war, everyone received their share of meat, vegetables. shorten ing, etc, but during the last year, food was growing scarce. All food was rationed but many German people grew their own vegetables. fruits. etc, so did not feel the rationing inconveniences.

Chinese Govt. First Army Moves 10 Meet Com

CHUNGKING, April 9. The Peoples Daily said today the van guard of the Governments First Army had reached Kungchuling, it predicted bitter fighting would fol- low Eighty thousand CommuniSt troops are reported concentrated in that area.
 The dispatch, which gave no de- tails, was dated Peiping, site of the Sino-American truce headquarters and source of much news of Man. churia.
 Kungchuling is 40 miles south of Chungchun, the Manchurian capi- tai recently captured by Commun- ists. and is about 30 miles north of Szepingkai. for which Government and Chinese Red armies are fight ing. Presumably, a portion of the First Army by-passed Szepingkai to reach Kungchuling
 Meanwhile. the armed thrust of Communists elsewhere in rich Manchuria, and peace parleys in Chungking moved ahead, with no indication when either would reach a climax.
 General Marshall continued his efforts to achieve truce, and awaited the reply of Chinese Com munists to his demand for proof or retraction of their charge that American planes had attacked them.
 American Army, Navy and Mar inc headquarters said ncne of their planes had been in. the Szepingkai area, where the Communists all legged they had been strafed last Wednesday and Friday.

CHIEF JUSTICE , HARLAN STONE .
 DIES SUDDENLY
Dissenter of U. 5. Highest Tribunal Stricken on
 Bench, Passes Away

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Chief Justice Harlan F. Stones sudden ! death cut the disagreeing Supreme Court to a seven-man tribunal to- day and stirred wide speculation on President Truman's possible choice for the nations highest ju- dicial place.
 The hard-working, 73-year-old Stone fired two dissenting opinions at his colleagues in a prolonged court session yesterday, then fal- tered over the first of three ma- jority opinions he had prepared. He paled and his first words trail- ed off.
 sa Dies Suddenly
 The court session was halted abruptly. Doctors found Stone nau- seated. They said he had indiges- tion. He was taken home. A few hours later his secretary announced his death from "a massive cerebral hemorrhage."
 Mir Truman, who learned of the Chief Justices death aboard the aircraft carrier Franklin D. Roose- welt, termed it "a grievous loss to the country" and said he was ter ribly shocked" The President left Washington Sunday to observe na- val maneuvers off the Virginia coast
 The first wave of speculation touched off by Stones death cen tered on the possibility that MT. Truman might designate a Repub- lican to fill the court vacancy but elevate one of the seven Democrats now on the bench to Chief Justice,
 Successor
 Among the latter. Associate Jus tices William o. Douglas, Robert H. Jackson and Felix Frankfurter were mentioned most prominently and in that order. Other Democrats on the bench are Hugo Black, who now is first in seniority; Stanley F. Reed, Frank Murphy and Wiley Rutledge.
 Talk of Republican candidates for the Tribunal usually started off with the name of Secretary of War Robert F. Patterson.
 The last job Stone completed on the High Bench yeSterday-the reading of a dissenting opinion was symbolic of some of the court work which won him greatest fame. A prolific dissenter in his 21 years on the Bench, Stone had the per- haps unprecedented privelege of seeing two of his dissenting opin- ions later become the law of the land.

Optimistic Prediction Made Alter Survey of

WASHINGTON, April 23-Under- secretary of Agriculture N. E. Dodd said today there is good chance that this years wheat and corn crops will be the largest in the country's history.
 Dodd, who is acquainted with more farmers and agricultural ad- justment agency committeeman than perhaps any man in govern ment, based his optimistic predic- tions on reports he has received in recent weeks from all parts of the country.
 He said the early spring season had enabled farmers to get fine start on planting operations.
 Food officials have said the United States and other major grain producing countries must pro- duca bumper crops this year if current famine conditions in the war-torn areas are to be averted next year.

DISCIPLINE FOR
 C0NGRESSMEN IS
 BEING ADVOCATED
Secretary of Commerce Wallace Makes Im-
 portdnt Speech

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-Sec- retary of Commerce Henry A. Wal lace reiterated his proposals for Democratic party discipline and ad- vocated easier means for forcing bills to the House and Senate floors in a speech here last night.
 The idea of party responsibility, Wallace said, is so on-controversial that even Republicans have sub- scribed to it." He attributed to former Presidents Hoover and Cool idge statements favoring such re- sponsibility.
 Wallace's proposal last month was that the Democratic party should discipline its members in Congress for support of the party's legislative program caused furore among elements of Congress, but the Secretary stuck by his guns for party discipline last night.
 He did not, however, reiterate specifically his earlier suggestion that Senators and Representatives who oppose their own parties on major legislation should be banned from seeking election on their par ty tickets.
 "The most effective way to dis cipline a member who has turned his back upon his party is to deny him committee appointments" he told a rally sponsired by the Na- tional Citizens Political Action com mittee here.

Renewed Demands Made for Dropping Iran Case
 from UNSC Agendd

NEW YORK, April 23.-Russia charged today that some mem bers" of the United Nations Secur- ity Council appear to doubt the veracity' of Russia and Iran and assailed the United States position on the Iranian case as illogical
 Vigorously renewing his coun- try's demand that the council drop the Iranian case immediately, An- drei A. Gromyko, Soviet delegate, said that new attempts are being made to find reasons for keeping this case on the agenda."
 He said attempts to keep the dis pute on the agenda "are doomed to failure" and that these attempts are likely to have the most ie- grettable consequences
 The Russian delegate said that the position taken by Edward R, Stettinius, Jr., U. s. delegate, against Russia's proposal was 'iiiog- ical."
 Stettinius took the floor after Gromyko and said that he again was unable to agree with the argu- ments set forth by Gromyko.
 Stettinius said that the United States delegation saw no need Of reversing the councils decision of April 4, by which the council agreed to selve the Iranian case until May 6.
 He also expressed opposition to the resolution presented by Henri Bonnet, French delegate, which would have the U. N. secretary gather information for a council report to the U. N. General Assem- bly, next Sept. 3.
 Stettinius said that the Bonnet resolution would in effect reverse the decision of April 3 and drop the case from the agenda.
