TAFT MAKES HIS
 REPLY TO TRUMAN

WASHINGTON, June - R - Senator Robert Taft of Ohio had his inning today in his debate with President Truman over economic policy.
 Taft asserted that the President created all of the basic conditions which brought on high prices. In a formal statement, the Ohio Re- publican declared that while MT. Truman has talked about lowering prices, every policy of the Admin istration has increased prices and is still doing so.
 Taft's comments came one day after President Truman had said that the Ohio Senator has "falla- ciouS and dangerous economic views. The President referred to an interview in which Taft said that the Administration apparently has dropped it's program to bring prices down in favor of heavy spending overseas which will keep prices high.

FIRE DEpAR!MENT
 WILL HAVE FL0Af,
 JULY 4TH PARADE
Calls Outside of City Limits Taken Up-BdII Game
 Attendance Good

At the monthly meeting last night in the City Hall, the Juneau Fire Department voted to enter a special float in the 4th of July parade. The float will be entered in addition to the usual fire trucks which distributes candy to the kids, and will be created by Assistant Chief William Neiderhauser and committee.
 The pertinent issue of Juneau City firemen going outside of the city limits reared it's ugly head when it was noted that the de- eartment answered two calls of that category during the month. After considerable discussion on this problem, which is extremely vital to the residents of the Waynor Ad- dition, it was voted that Chief Min ard Mill should appear before the City Council for claritication and interpretation of policy.
 DtCI6JdIy COiill uAOi looii iSPoAe ed that the attendance at the ball games sponsored by the department had been very we'll attended. Gate keeper committees were named for the balance of tn first half of the season. Ed Sweeney reported that the Trustees of the Fire Depart ment had voted to set aside defin- ite sum of money toward a new fence for the ball park which will probably be put up next year.
 Continuing the study of fire prob lems in Juneau, Joe Johnston and Howard Dilg reported on series Of apartments which their committees had inspected during the week. Chief Mill stated that excellent cooperation from property owners had been experienced during the three months study of the larger buildings in Juneau. The next prob lem to be taken up by the Fire De- partment will deal with specific fire areas.

 COUP WAS
 QUICK ONE
Put Over by Communists Before United States
 Gould Rub Eyes

BUDAPEST, June 6-tR--Matryas Rakosi, Hungary's No Commun- ist and virtual dictator, has told factory workers that his pary took over control of his country before the United States could rub its eyes"
 We were able to solve the crisis before the foreign press, good and bad, was able to intervene Rakosi said. Before the United States could rub it's eyes, everything was perfectly put over.
 Such a task could only be car ried out when democracy is united and is led by the brave and iron listed Communist Party, conscious of it's aims.
 "This is why the feat has been acclaimed by the lovers of demo- cracy all over the world"

White Crosses Under Apple Treesi in Normandy Silently
 Tell Story of D.Day, 1914
By ROBERT EUNSON

CHERBOURG, June 6.--R-Driv- ing through the checkerboard pat tern of hedgerows in Normandy on this third anniversary of D-Day, the breath-taking sight of endless rows of white crosses beneath the apple trees impressed one more than anything else.
 When elements of five American divisions landed in Normandy-two by air and three by sea-on June 6, 1944, they opened one of the greatest, if costliest. military cam paigns in American history
 Wrestling the Cherbourg penin- sula from the German forces that had vanquished Europe gave the Allies major seaport and enough space to load the continent with striking force that was powerful enough to sweep 250 miles to Paris within one month after the break. trough at St. Lo
 But the men who secured the Cherbourg peninsula had to do it the hard way, and nearly 90,00C of them paid with their blood There are nine U s. Military Gem eteries in Normandy where 28,462 white crosses mark the sleeping places of American soldier dead
 Hedgerow fighting and the hard luck the paratroopers ran into on D-Day are generally accepted as the reason for this overwhelming figure.
 The Nazi machine gunner, lying in wait behind the hedgerows, and the Roche, who turned his ack-ack fire into the clouds of white milk that were American paratroopers took toll of approximately five to one.
 There are only about 5000 Ger mans buried in Normandy-about 5000 at La Combe and another 2,000 at St. Mere Eglise.

The W WaShinqton Merry Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = White House friends say that President Truman is getting more and more concerned over the housing shortage and the failure of either private industry or the Government to do much about it.
 Whether Truman now realizes his mistake in letting his own admin istration officials cut the ground out from under ex-housing czar Wilson Wyatt remains to be seen. However, it is a fact that not only Congress, but also Truman's own housing expediters have begged down on housing.
 Here is an example of how they have begged right in Truman's home bailiwick-Kansas City:
 The other day Dutch Miller, pro- moter of the midget-car races at Olympic Stadium, Kansas City wanted to enlarge the seating space for his spectators. In hot weather he said, they had to sit too close together. So he proposed $8,5Ot worth of new construction.
 However, the Kansas City Citi- zens Committee, appointed to pro- tect the veterans housing program said no. They ruled first that mid get-car races weren't necessary te the life of Kansas City, and second that it wouldn't hurt the spectators to sit a little closer together, any way.
 Whereupon Dutch Miller wen
