VERB O "SUzENJSTVU"
v JUGOSLAVIJI

Kako je Helena Meister pre-
zivela nemsko okupacijo, je tudi |
zavito v tajnost. Malo je verjet-
no, da bi jo Nemci pustili pri
miru (kot ona pravi: Germans
didn't bother us too much ~,
&c bi bila pri njih registrirana
kot ameriska drzavljanka. Kajti
po objavi vojne smo vsi ameri-
Ski drzavljani imeli opravka z
gestapom, ali pa nemskimi VOL
mimi oblastmi.
Ko Sc je vojna koncala, je
bila menda zadeva drzavljan-
stva Helene Meister Sc vedno
nejasna. Nobeden ameriski kon-
zulat je ne more pripoznati "a
amerisko drzavljanko, &c ne
predlozi povoljne listine, ka-
terimi lahko dokaze, da je. Teh
listin pa Helena Meister nj ime-
la, kajti v plain Dealerju" sto-
il, da il je bill sele po koncani

Ker je torej niti sam ameri-
Ski konsulat nj naogel priposnati

Sc potem more sahtevati 0d ju-
goslovamskih oblasti, da 10 pri-
posmajo kot takSno saneo mo- te-

Kot ameriska drzavljanka sc
Helena Meister nj nahajala v
"suzenjstvu." To je potrjeno tu-
di dejstvom, da je bilo takoj

ANCHORAGE C
 FOR WHITTIER

Tn a recent meeting of Anchor age businessmen with directors of the Chamber of Commerce, it was decided that it would be advisable for the port of Whittier to be op- ened immediately to civilian trat- fife.
 An emphatic statement was re- leased announcing this sentiment after a vote of 21 to 0 passed a motion requesting the action. Those present at the meeting held that tte opening of Whittier would re- move most of the conditions which made the opening of the Anchor age waterfront seem desirable.
 After a lengthy discussion on the question of whether or not the people wanted the waterfront open ed, the following motion was pre- sented and passed We urgently request that the port of Whittier be opened immediately for civilian traffic, otherwise that ocean trans portation be permitted to use the port facilities at Anchorage"

The Nickel Is Back
Cincinnati Enquirer

Amid all the portents of inflation in trigued by the of the diretcor of the U. S. mint Mrs Nellie Tayoe Ross that the nickel is the nickel again.
 The anomaly is explained by the fact that in wartime both nickel and copper became too precious for to waste on unnecessary thing like a coin and so, for the duration the nickel contained nickel and less than the usual amount of copper. The wartime "ersatz" nickel contained 35 per cent silver, 56 per cent copper and per cent maganese Although sounds like better bargain than the pre- nickel of 25 per cent nickel and 5 per cent copper did not well in circulation disadvantage being that it took yelowish tinge caused by oxidation of the silver Its failure in this regard nowhere near as pronounced as the wartime penny, which looked like dime and despite the calculations of coinage experts kept looking like badly beaten up dime instead of turning the expected black.
 At any rate, the old vintage of 25 per cent nickel nickes is back with us again. The U. s. mint has reconverted if else has. But, frankly, we have been great deal concerned about the purchasing of the nickel than have been with it's tendency to acquire faintly yellowish tinge In fact aren't usually able to hold onto of the cons-any coins to tell much about what color it is.
 The thing of first importance, if dare make a suggestion to branch of the government is to make the postwar nickel buy much the prewar nickel. To heck with the color. It can be flaming purple, for all care

FULL EMPLOYMENT

year after the ending of hostites the 60 million jobs that Secretary Wallace set goal to be sriven for have been exceeded. Census Bureau reports for July put civilian employment at slightly more than 58 million Including 100000 in the armed services, the total comes to nearly 61 million This is an amazing record testfyng to the rapid absorption into the labor market of returning It looks even better compared with the figures of year For, during the intervening period nearly three million women have withdrawn voluntarily from paid positions or been dropped while the number of men employed has risen 66 million.
 For long time to come it looks as if the problem of unemployment would be largely of academic interest Indeed the prospect of labor shortages is the inn to meet the demands of unsatisfed consumers Since shortening of the working week and reduction of overtime have been factors in increasing the demand for labor it is obvious that return to longer working hours will afford relief to hardpressed employers. However, overtime work has the dsadvantage of adding to production costs. Some extra labor can also be obtained by persuading women who have returned to their homes to reenter employment But the surest way to increase production without stepping up pro- duction costs is to increase labor's efficiency.
 The tight labor situation emphasizes the import ance of increased efficiency the utilization of labor not only to employers but to employees whose real earnings Expressed in terms of goods and servcesl

MAJOR WAGNER IS TRANSFERRED;
 LEAVES TODAY

After having spent the past 24 hours in "samouflage" due to anti climatic conditions following a gala farewell party Thursday night, and last minute cancellation of Fridays plane accommodations Maj Chester Wagner, Commander of the Juneau Support, this morning left by Pan American Airways for Seattle Port of Embarkation.
 Although sorry to leave Juneau, where he has been in command of the Support for the past 19 months, Major Wagner is relieved to make true his goodbyes to Juneau, which he declares he has been saying since April Is when the Support operation was turned over to the Army Engineers.
 Shipped ahead of him on an Army tugboat were 19 large cases of Army records concerning Juneau Support and it's former personnel. These will be reviewed at the Seattle headquarters, and state ment of inactivation for the Sub port as an Army station, issued. All records were recently audited and approved by Col. Prentice Wise and his assistant.
 The Support will now be used sole ly by the Army Engineers, Alaskan Department. Lumber piles and all other property there was transferr- ed to the Engineers several months ago.
 Thursday night Major Wagner was guest of honor at a farewell dinner at Mikes. at which approxi- mately 20 of his friends gathered to offer toasts and best wishes. The dinner was followed by a return to Juneaus Bubble Room where the Major was honored with an es- pecially- dedicated song, played and sung by the OReillys, and wished "bon voyage" by numerous Juneau residents.
 He was also complimented with a small private party by Lew Will jams at his apartment on Gold Belt Avenue
 Yesterday Major Wagner was still here.
 After attending a quiet movie, he spent the rest of the time trying to 
 stay out of sight.
 This morning, with backward looks at Juneaus towering noun tains, but a definite sense of re- lief, the Major took off for Seattle

Terror in America
tNew York Times

Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia is not of those defenders of States rights who maintain that outsider" has any business to intervene when terror and violence swept their communities Governor Arnal has telegraphed President Truman his warm appreciation of the full cooperation of the Federal Government the Department of Justice and the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation in assisting State and local authorities to apprehend the desperadoes who lynched four Negroes in Walton County Ga, on July 25" We believe he and other Governors, North and South should also welcome the action of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice in Investigating the activities of the Ku Klux Klan.
 It is not easy to draw the line between State and Federal authority murder not involving the crossing of State line is not often for Federal action. But lynching is not merely murder. It may mean the breakdown of orderly processes of law in munity In Walton County it has obviously meant the terrorization of innocent persons both Negro and white. Major w E. Spence of the Georgia State Bureau of Investigation Indirectly testifies much when he posts handbils giving assurance that the identity of those giving information will be kept confidential" And this situation is not solely of to the w-abiding majority in Georgia It concerns all of us.
 Federal ant-lynching law may not be the solu- tion. But if think of lynchng the tragic crescendo of a chronic denial of civil rights the for Federal legislation may be stronger We may hope for better relations-better human relationS-n Georgia as well in Michigan, California and else- where. But if small and vicious minorteS defeat this hope a vigorous and concerted attack on the problem will have to be made by the Federal Gov ernment and the States alike.

sis over the Czech Sudetenland, Lord Runciman spent weeks in Czechoslovakia passing out secret word that Hitler could have the Sudetenland as far as he was con- cerned. So by the time the Big Four met in Munich, the surrender of the Sudetenland was foregone conclusion-agreed to in advance by British appeasers.
 Historians already are recording the probability that if we had checked the Spanish Fascist, if we had stopped Hitler in the Ruhr, if we had prevented his carving up Czechoslovakia, or even if we had blocked any one of these moves, the terrible tragedy of World War II would not have happened.
 And if we are going to prevent World War III, the gentlemen of the British Foreign Office, with their silk-glove policy of appease- ment, may prove our most danger ouS, though charming allies.

BRITISH UNDERCUT UsA

In an earlier column, this writer proposed that the United States adopt a definite, categoric policy of not appeasing Russia. It was argued that no country takes the first step toward war if it knows it will have to suffer a major re- taliatory war It was pointed out that Hitler never would have in- vaded Austria and the Ruhr if he hadn't shrewdly banked on Anglo French dissension and appease- ment.
 If we are to follow non-ap- peasement policy toward Russia; if we are to demand that she work through the United Nations; if we are to crack down on the first bel ligerent move she makes outside the United Nations, then Great Britain, judging by past perform ances, is our worst ally.
 In 1882, Secretary o1 State Henry D hOllliloOll, illdt Japan had started on major Asiatic con- quest did his best to enlist Bri~ tish cooperation in stopping the warlords before they got started To this end he thought he had a British promise to deliver strong identic note of protest to Japan.
 But U. s. Ambassador Cameron Forbes discovered Iilat after he de- livered the American protest note, the British Ambassador paid two calls at the Jap Foreign Office One was to deliver the formal note of protest. The other was to tell the Japanese Foreign Minister in- formally that Great Britain had promised the United States to de- liver note, but nevertheless the British understood and sympathized with the Japanese position in Man. churia.
 Again, in 1886, when Hitler walk ed into the Ruhr, it was the Bri- tish who hung back, told the French that if they resisted Hitler, they would have to fight alone.
 Again. during the Spanish Civil War, it was the British Foreign Office which secretly played ball with Franco and sabotaged the Loyalist Government, despite the fact that the world knew Hitler and Mussolini were staging a cur tain-raiser to world war.

 But the British have access to all cables leaving London.

Thus Harriman's protest ar- rived before Gaston's cable and helped to nullify it.

CAMPBELL RIVER AREA STRUCK BY
 7OO-ACRE BLAZE
r oresf Fires Follow in Lightning 5 Wake Through
 Pacific Northwest
(BY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)


 Pacific Northwest fire fighters sat waiting watchfully today for a new outbreak of fires in the tim ber-dry forest regions of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.
 Numerous blazes broke out yes- terday in widely scattered areas in the wake of lightning storms. One fire in Oregon's Mount Hood for est was reported to have been man-set."
 Despite the dangerous conditions, C. Otto Linen, Regional Fire Chief, reported "an exceptionally favor able forest fire season" in Wash ington and oregon national forests with only 240 minor fires.
 Only in British Columbia were the flames continuing unchecked and there 300 men backfired a large area and were reported last night to be hopeful of controlling a 700 acre blaze in the Campbell River area on Vancouver Island. Some 100000 board feet of felled and bucked timber already was de- stroyed and another 5000,000 board feet threatened.
 The largest fire reported in Washington yesterday was a 160- acre blaze near Satsop in Grays Harbor County. Two Western Lane County fires in Oregon blackened 100 acres.
