DE GAULLE E WINNER
 IN FRANCE
Generals Candidates Far in Lead as Result of
 Sundays 5 Election

PARIS, Oct. Candidates nominated by Gen Charles de Gaulles six-month-old rally of the French people (RPFD were leading in 29 out of 37 major municipal ities today as returns from yes terday's balloting rolled in from all over France.
 De Gaulle's party held sub- stantial lead over all other parties, including the Communists, in the early returns.
 There's no doubt about it, de Gaulle has won," said Maurice Schuman, parliamentary leader of the popular Republican movement (MRP) which lost ground heavily in yesterdays voting. DeGaulle's RPF, although leading the Com munists, did not appear to have dented Communist voting strength in any substantial amount.
 Running on an anti-Communist platform, and competing in a French election for the first time, RIPE was averaging between 38 and 40 percent of the total vote, as against 26 to 28 percent for the Communist, 19 percent for the Socialists and less than 10 percent for MRP.

 Big Celebration
By MARK KNIGHT

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. zu.- tR-The Aurora" the Alaska Rail- reads diesel -motored streamllner, ended its inaugural run from An chorage here yesterday, marking a new phase in Alaska transportation history.
 Passengers from Anchorage met SC guests from Fairbanks at the Mount Mckinley Park Hotel Sat urday night for gay Nineties' ball that will survive in the mem ory of every guest
 There were costumes from Fifth Avenue, New York, shops, Seattle and elsewhere and many evidenced the ingenious craftsmanship of All aska's pioneer women.
 There were a plentiful number of Sourdoughs among the 250 cele- brants and they didn't come to look momentarily and retire,
 For example there was Art Lutro, bewhiskered (not false), Ruby Miner, President of the Pioneers of Alaska; Archie Lewis, conductor of the Aurora" with the railroad through it's 25-year history and Capt. A. E. Lathrop, famed for his steamboating activities in gold rush days and legion of current enter prises. These and other veterans were on the ballroom floor when it closed at am.
 Guests from Anchorage slept in yesterday while the Fairbanks group entrained on the "Aurora" !" at am, to wind up the inaugural run to Fairbanks.
 Ceremonies similar to the ones held in Anchorage Saturday were held when the train arrived here.
 Alaska pride in the streamllner was best epitomized by lady from Seward who said: This represents the greatest forward step Alaskans have taken entirely by themselves in this epochal period of Territorial history"
 Their admiration for the reJuven- ated Alaska Railroad and it's gen. eral manager, Col. John P. Johnson, was apparent on every hand.
 Among the notable guests was Juan Trlppe, President of Pan Am erican Airways, on survey of pos abilities for expansion of Alaska service.
 The trains inaugural run was Tn observance of the 80th anniversary of the United States purchase of Alaska from Russia.

Making Of Recordings By Musicians Is Banned;
 May Prove as Boomerang

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-tRl-James c. Petrillos newest edict, banning again the making of recordings by his 225,000 AFL musicians after December 31, was being measured from all angles today for the shape of things to come in the radio and entertainment fields.
 The head of the American Fed eration of musicians issued the new directive Saturday, declaring that the members of the union were destroying themselves" by SUD- plying their own competition in the form of recordings"
 There will never be any more photograph records or transcript tions made by members of the mu- sicians union" he said, adding that unless a (radioD program has live music to offer, there won't be any music
 The order was received in various segments of the radio-recording industry with mixed feelings.
 Band Leader Ted Weems said it might boomerang on musicians of this country and result in pop ular favorites being replaced by foreigners" and in California a spokesman for one recording com- pany suggested the making of mas ter records might be shifted to Mexico.
 We've been expecting this" said one spokesman for leading rec ording company. "'The whole in- dustry has been recording like crazy for several months" He added that most of the major rec ord companies have an accumula- tion of master records sufficient to keep them going for years"
 We feel that in the final an- alysis it will be the American peo- pie who will determine what they will hear and when and how they will hear it." said Mark Woods, president of the American Broad casting Company. Americans love music" he added, and no indivi- dual can deprive them of it for long,"

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-O of the most important treasures of war infor- nation in existence are the Nazi files seized by the U s. Army after it entered Germany. The Nazis were methodical keepers of records, and almost everything they did, ranging from conferences with Hit Ter to actions by deputy fuehrers, was faithfully recorded and filed away.
 In the opinion of Secretary of the Army Kenneth Royall, these papers, which throw significant light on how we can avoid war in the future, should be made avail able to the American people Am erican soldiers gave their blood to capture them, and Royal has tried to persuade the State Department to open the files to the public
 However, Wall Street banker Bob Lovett. Acting Secretary of State, feels otherwise. And following his usual hush-hush policy, these re- vealing papers have been kept se- cret.
 This column, however, has been able to obtain one sensational Nazi document giving the minutes of the meeting at which Hitler's ad- visers plotted the master-plan for the extermination of European Jews. The meeting was held on Jan.
