Loss of Notebooks May Re fdrd Memory Not
 Feigning Amnesia

TOKYO, March 26-Former Pre- mier Hideki Tojo used to depend on no less than eight notebooks to refresh his memory, and conse- quently may have little trouble remembering details at his forth coming war crimes trial, his prin- cipal defense attorney predicted to- day.
 The notebooks were destroyed probably when the War Ministry was firebombed. Dr. Ichiro Kiyouse the attorney, told the Associated Press, commenting on report Tojo was losing his memory.
 Kiyouse insisted Tojo has noth- ing to hide and he is going to tell it all'
 He said he was certain Tojo was not feigning amnesia. When a man depends on notebooks as To- jo did, he is lost without them"

RED CROSS DRIVE WEARS $500 MARK;
 S65O0 YET TO GO


 With but four days remaining to complete the annual Red Cross Campaign for funds, Juneau's to- tai contributions up to noon today were nearing, but had not yet reached, the $l 900 mark. accord- ing to an estimate made by com mittee members.
 It has been pointed out that this campaign is the annual drive, and is the only one to be conducted by the Red Cross during the year. Some confusion has resulted from the fact that prior to the war the roIl-call drive had for many years been held in the fall. but Was changed to March during the war.
 The quota for the city ant Douglas is $8.400, and judging by past records there is no reason to doubt this goal will be reached. However, everyone is urged to do his part by leaving his contribu- tion with any of the people listed in a recent advertisement. or any member of the Business and Pro- fession Women's Club.
 A call on the Rotary Club lunch- con today netted the sum of $56.50 and a check from Standard Oil Company added another $l00 to the fund.

STUBBORN FIGHT

NEW YORK, March 26.--Soviet Russia fought stubbofnly today against British and United States attempts to place the Iranian is- sue cn the agenda of the United Nations Security Council. In the midst of the argument Soviet Am- Ioassadcr Andrei Gromyko accused the United States and British dai- egations of being more Iranian than the Iranians.
 Gromyko contended that the pri- vate agreement between Russia and Iran on the removal of Soviet troops from Iran closes the case, consequently there is no need for the UNO Council to consider the matter.
 State Secretary James Byrnes declared that the UNO should have been informed of the details Of the agreement, that Iran has not with drawn her complaint, and there-s fore the Council should go into the dispute. Byrnes promptly got the support of the British representa-. tive. Sir Alexander Cadcgan, as well as other nations.
 That's how matters stocd when the Security Council took a recess before resuming the discussion la ter this afternoon,

BRANCH OF U. A.
 IN S. E. ALASKA
 GIVEN APPROVAL
KetChikdn Veteran Newell Makes Strong Talk in
 Fdyor-ACtion Taken

An eloquent plea for education now = termed more important than loans or bonuses-today won world War II veteran Harry Newell, Jr., of Ketchikan, a spontaneous ana flattering burst of applause in the Territorial House and, more impor- tant. passage of House Bill 63, which appropriates $l,000o00 for a southern branch of the University of Alaska.
 Newell, a lifelong Alaska resident and a member of the Veterans o1 Foreign Wars, said the proposed branch could be ready for students within three months and could be built and operated on $150,000 until the next legislature. He explained that while $150,o00 was the lowest at which the extension could be opened and kept open he did not believe the $1,000,000 called for in H.B. 63 was necessary for the south eastern branch at this time.
 Although he did not go on record as favoring a Ketchikan location stating several times that Juneau, Petersburg, Wrangell or other Southeast Alaska sites might prove equally feasible-he said he knows personally that his home city can house all married veterans and their families, single veterans and prospective women students. He read a letter from Ketchikan civic group offering the city's form CT USO building, valued at between $20,OO0 and S25,000 and surplus Coast Guard barracks for housing.
 Aid To Students
 Of 27 business concerns, contact ed in a hurry-up survey immed- lately after he had been summoned to testify before the legislature, 25 agreed to give veteran students full or part-time employment, Newell said.
 Stressing the urgency of South east Alaska facilities, Newell offer ed the following arguments:
 (ll The overcrowded U s. uni vesities will not admit Alaskan veterans. He read letter from an Alaskan veteran who had applied to IS U. s. schools. getting no from 13 and very indefinite may be later from the other two. The various states admit applicants to their universities on priority ba- sis, with residents high on the list

He quoted the minister as saying Canada had no Federal road bud get from which such an allocation could be made.
 | Tt is 5000 miles from Van oouver to Ottawa" McGeer told Magnuson, but it is 25,000 miles from Ottawa to Vancouver, adding the report from Ottawa was typical of the Dominion governments atti- tude toward the needs of the west.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Today, th ( greatest idea springing from the late war-that nations can solve their differences without resort to bloodshed- receives its greatest test
 The outcome of this test will de- eide whether 12,000,000 men who fought for a warless world shall have fought in vain.
 This reporter, who has occupied a ringside seat at some of the great diplomatic battles of oui time, remembers vividly the other great tests of recent history-and how the people who had most tc lose were let down.
 Those defeats have been like erosion. One tiny rvulet in the flood gates against war opens a small hole. Then another defeat opens another hole, and soon 8 torrent of battle has flooded the world.
 Eighteen years ago, this reporter
 
 sailed to Paris with Frank B. Kel- logg to witness the signing of 2 pact which expressed the hopes and dreams of people all over the world for a warless world. Editor ials everywhere hailed the event as marking new era of peace And Henry L. Stimson, who suc- ceeded Kellogg, honestly tried tc make it so. He used the Kellogg Pact as a real instrument of Am erican policy-a substitute for this country's earlier failure to partici- pate in the League of Nations.
 But on the very day the Kellogg Pact finally was ratified and the diplomats of 40 countries crowded into the White House to commem- crate the occasion, Soviet Russia threatened war with China over the Chinese Eastern Railroad ir Northern Manchuria. The Red Army was massed on Chinese bor- ders. It looked as if the Kellogg

 War Boom Says BeaAy

WASHINGTON. March 26.-The war brought one unwelcome boom to Alaska--in juvenile delinquency
 The House appropriations commit- tee has recommended an additional $150,o00 to provide facilities for 150 more children in the Ekultna school at Fort Raymond, near Sew are, Alaska
 The school now has an enrolment of 3C1 dependent and delinquent children.
 Willard w. Beatty, Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, told the appropriations committee, in testimony published today, that,
 "The present serious situation arose out of the tremendous number of single white males sent in from the states either to engage in labor work or who have come in with the army, and there has been a tremendous amount of debauchery.'
 He estimated about 5000 single men arrived from the United States in 1941.
 Beatty added:
 There has been an enormous amount of immortality and in many cases the children have been aban- doned
 Beatty said that he was refer ring to conditions among the Aleuts adding We have adopted the use of the term natives because they do not like to be called Indians.'

ROTARIAN5 ExT0l
 WORK OF ARC IN
 COMMUNITY LIFE

An lmprOmptu ulScuSSion on Hler- it's of Red Cross work both inter- nationally and locally was fea- tured today at the noon luncheon meeting of the Juneau Rotary Club.
 In reminding Rotarians that only week remained in the present Red Cross Drive with slightly less than one-fourth of the quota at tained, President Herb Hillerman said the drive was rapidly reach ing a critical stage.
 Too many Americans are no longer giving freely as they did during the war" he said They feel victory has been won and they can now rest on their past record of generosity. Actually we on the home front did great job in do- mating toward the war effort, but we must stand prepared to finish the job. Victory has not been won. There is still definite and vital need for Red Cross work. Letting down now would be as unpatriotic as it would have been year ago. Let's not allow Juneau to come in- to this category
 Mayor Ernie Parsons added his support to President Hillerman's comments by saying that locally the Red Cross is doing far more good in the community than many people realize. He asked that mem bers of Rotary back the present drive until we have reached by a comfortable margin this all-inl- portant goal for our first postwar Red Cross campaign"
 It is not generally known, said Jack Fletcher, that many hotel bills and transportation expenses of persons stranded in Juneau are paid each year by the American Red Cross chapter here. The Red Cross just pays them and no com plimentary publicity is given-or expected" he said.
 The main program of the day was composed of brief summaries on the work of Rotary given by five Rotarians Speaking on the specific functions of the commit tees of which they are chairman were the following: pr. w. M. Whitehead, International Cooper ation and Service Committee; E. L. Keithahn, Club Service; Harold Foss, Community Service; Mike Haas, Vocational Service.
 Don Skuse, former Rotarian President, told of his personal ex- perience as member of Rotary and extolled the fellowship and community spirit that may be such an organization.
 In the business session of the meeing, Skuse announced the nom- | mating committees suggested list of members for the Board of Di- rectors to be elected at the April l
 meeting. They were. O. E. Ben. coke, Dr. William Blanton, Rich ard Byrns. Charles w. Carter, Hank Harmon, E. L. Keithahn, James McNaughton, Howard Stabler, and pr. w. M. Whitehead. Additional names may be nominated from the floor at next weeks meeting. MT. Benecke and Bob Bowling were officially welcomed back from their recent trip to the States Among the guests were: Joe Shof- ner, newly arrived band leader for Juneau High; Frank Parsons, son of Mayor Parsons; Dan Moller, Andrew Hope, Ed Coffey and AL r1qr Peterson
