MAYOR EXPLAINS
 TOTEM MEANINGS
 AT AKRON RITES
Apiness of Symbolism to Soap Box Racer Qudli-
 ties Emphasized

For his (and Juneau's) part i'll ceremonies dedicating the Alaska Indian totem presented by the Ju- neau Rotary Club to become a permanent fixture at Derby Downs at Akron, Ohio, Juneau's Mayor Waino Hendrickson this evening will explain the significance Of the figures carved upon the pole.
 Mayor Hendricksons dedication remarks, based upon material as- sembled by Edward L. Keithahn, curator of the Alaska Territorial Museum and Historical Library, will be the feature of ceremony in Akron's famed Rubber Bowl, on the eve of the All American Soap Box Derby, which will be run tomorrow with Juneaus tand Alaska's l947 Soap Box Champion Frankie Maier, competing.
 Highiight of Mayor Hendrickson's dedication speech follows:
 
 "The Juneau Rotary Totempo,e consists ef four sections, each sym bonc of something pertaining to the Soap Box Derby. Beginning at the tcp, the pole displays the crest of the Mountain Spirit" (Sha- Yiek) Juneau boys grow up like other Alaskans surrounded by challenging obstacles countalns that beckon or threaten, hem in or guard, are kind or cruel, beautiful or terrifying as cne's own charac- ter interprets or decides. To the Derby Boys the Mountain Spirit is inspiration, a kindly foster father that takes them by the hand, beckons them on to the summits Of achieyement-to the broad vistas beyond.
 Everyone knows that the Frog has a jewel in it's head The jew eI' is an idea and the idea is the father of the act. Derby Boys first conceive an idea or dream and then through action, convert 1t into re- ality. The result is 'Soap-B Box that may one day win at Akron It is a long hop from Juneau to Akron but one of our boys makes it every year.
 Beneath the frog is Old Raven, facing Young Raven. Raw en is wisdom personified and here we have the youth receiving the benefit of his mentors knowledge and experience. Old Raven may symbolize the sponsor, the father the Rotarian or even a former Derby Boy in the role of coach or guide.
 Derby Boys thus learn early in life the value of accumulated ex- perience, respect for age, Knowledge and intelligence, the viewpoint of their elders, tolerance for the other fellows idea.

CHURCHILL WARNS BRIT0NS OF DISASTER
LEGAL ACTON BY
 TERR. TO GET BACK
 VETS BOARD LOAN
Cooperation by Veterans Expected for Early De-
 lision in Friendly Suii

At a meeting of the Board of Administration here yesterday, consideration was given to the refusal of the Veterans Board to comply with the recent request of the Board of Administration for repayment to the general treasury of S350, 100000 advanced in April of l946 for commencement of the Veterans Loan and Bonus pro gram.
 Under the Veterans Loan and Bonus Act, the amount shall be repaid as soon as the revenues de- rived from the tax tgross sales and services taD permit, but not later than four years from the effective date of the Act tAprl 3. 1e45). The tax has now pro- duced approximately one and three-quarter million dollars.
 In making it's demand, the Board of Administration express ed regret that shortage of money in the general fund to meet Terri torial operating expenses compell- ed action which would slow up bonuses and loans to veterans.
 In declining to make repay ment, members of the Veterans Board contended that in consider ation of the number of Veterans applications, the amount of money so far produced by the tax does not permit repayment, and 1t IS for the Veterans Board to decide.
 The Board of Administration, deeming the issue a point of law for the court to decide, instructed the Treasurer and Attorney Gen eral to bring appropriate legal proceeding. Attorney General Ralph Rivers stated that a man damus action would be filed inn mediately and that it was expected the Veterans Board would cooper ate to obtain a decision as soon as possible

By DREW PEARSON
By ROBERT s. ALLEN


 WASHINGTON - One of the Congressional committees going to Europe has an unpublished special mission that may prove very em- barrassing to the high brass ln the War Department.
 The committee will look lnto the activities of It. Gen. John c. H. Lee. Commander of the Medl- terranean Theatre and his high living staff.
 Reason for the committees check up are numerous complaints re- ceived by members of Congress from CTS serving in the theatre and their parents. The latter have Teen particularly indignant.
 Burden of these complaints IS that while Lee and his staff are living in lavish luxury, the enlist ed men are ill-housed and ill-fed and subjected to un-American per- sonal indignities and a Prussian form of discipline. The following are some of the charges contain ed in the letters:
 That Lee has three private resi- dences-in Rome, Florence, ana Viareggio, the last place, resort town, out of bounds for GI's; that he also has for his exclusive use a small fleet of automobiles, a specially equipped CAT transport plane, and a special train. The

 KRUppS
Munitions Manufacturers 10 Go Before American
 Court in Germany

NUREMBERG, Aug. 16 - R - Twelve directors of the S2,500,000.- GOO Krupp munitions combine which for 133 years has been sup plying Germany with guns, were indicted by United States authori- ties today for war crimes.
 They are scheduled to go on trial next month.
 In a 50-page bill presented to an all-American court, prosecutors charged the giant steel and arma- ment firm with waging aggressive war, plundering peaceful countries and exploiting slave labor.
 Principal defendant under the in- dictment was Alfred Krupp Von Bohlen Und Balbach, son of Ber- tha Krupp, after whom the giant cannon Big Bertha which shelled Paris during World War I, was named.
 Brig. Gen. Telford Taylor Chief American prosecutor, said the U. $. would prove that Alfred Krupp and his associates were Nazi party members, confidants of the Ges- tapo, supporters of Adolph Hitler, instigators of rearmament and vio- latcrs of the Versailles Treaty.
 Taylor accused Alfred Krupp of carrying on the policies of his father, Gustav, who is now senile and unable to stand trial.
 The indictment charged that Krupp donated more than $4000, ,00C to Nazi coifers Taylor said evi- dence would be presented showing an intimate relationship between Krupp and the principal Nazi lead CTS, including Fritz Sauckel, the Nazi labor boss who was hanged at Nuremberg.
 The indictment accused Krupp of spreading NaZi propaganda aboard with personal letters and pamphlets outlining the Nazi view point for foreign industry's per usal.
 Taylor charged that Krupp par ticipated in invasions and in crimes committed against hundreds of thousands of slave laborers and plundered Austria, the Netherlands Greece, Russia and Yugoslavia.
 Indicted with Alfred Krupp were Ewald Loeser, Karl Pfirsch, Max Inn, Karl Eberhardt, Heinrich Korschan, Frederick Won Buelo Heinrich Lenmann, Hans Kupke Eduard Houdremont, Erich Muel- Ter and Friedrich Jansen.

 TOLD MUST
 KEEP PEACE
Brazil Diplomat Eleeted President of Conference,
 Calls for Safeguards

QUITANDINHA, Brazil, Aug. l6. -lRL-Brazils Foreign Minister told the Donation ter-American Con- ference today that if it failed to set up the machinery to preserve continental peace, others less. fit ted to accomplish it will take our place"
 Raul Fernandes, 69-year-old dip- lomat elected yesterday as Presi- dent of the Conference, opened it's second plenary session with an ap- peal to the delegates for safe guards for the defense of indivf- dual rights, liberty, justice and well being" W
 The conference was called for formulation of an American defense treaty. A compromise seemed in the making op the issue of the vote needed to invoke treaty sanctions against an aggressor.
 Before the delegates assembled, Ricardo Alfaro, Panama's Foreign Minister, told a news conference Panama would never recognize the present government of Nicaragua, and said it was "a certainty that Mexico, Guatemala, Venezula and Bolivia will join Panama in opposing the admission to the cnference of any representative except one from the rightful Nic- araguan leader.
 Hope for settlement of the vot- ing issue was raised last night when Secretary of State. Geosees C.. Marshall told correspondents the United States, in response to a Mexican compromise proposal, had modified its stand.
 Argentina has insisted that a unanimous vote of treaty sigma tories be necessary to put into effect any measure against a na- tion attacking any American re- public.
 The United States, on the other hand, has held that two-thirds majority vote should be sufficient for all such measures.
 In last nights news conference, however, Marshall said the U. s. while still recommending that the thirds rule apply on most var ieties of sanctions, had agreed to accept the use of armed force from this rule.

FREIGHT STAYS ON

Optimism for an early settlement to the strike of Alaska longshore- men was seen today in an an- nouncement by Henry Green, Ju- neau agent of the Northland Transportation Go. He announced that freight, destined for Juneau which the longshoremen refused to unload when the SS Alaska last called here, will be left aboard the Alaska when it sails from Se- attie next Tuesday.
 Green said that the Juneau freight will be left on board, by
 the instructions of Northland's Seattle office, in the hopes that the strike will be settled by the time the Alaska returns to Juneau.
 Bridges and Local Disagree
 A difference in the demands of the longshoremen was seen today in unconfirmed reports that local longshoremen have not asked for and do not desire preference in hiring over seamen for discharging cargo. In San Frantisco, Harry Bridges, ILWU chieftain, has de- manded that Alaska longshore- men receive preference for unload ing ships over the seamen with whom the steamship companies have signed a previous agreement
 Local longshoremen are report ed to have stated that they do not have enough members to assume this responsibility. Authoritative sources stated that the longshore- men have not even been officially advised of this demand and that the only reason they are on strike is because of the clause which they have asked to relieve them of liability in the event of strike.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-lR- President Trumans intervention in the 12-day Alaska CIO longshore- mems strike, which has closed the Juneau, Ketchikan and Seward ports, is asked by the Territorial Governor.

 The ILWU leader made the state ment at a San Francisco confer ence with Alaska Steamship Con- pany representatives and Federal Conciliator Nathan Feinsinger, the Governor said he was told by Clark.
 Major point at issue is the un- ions demand for settlement of all disputes outside the framework ol the Taft Hartley Labor Law.
 The Governors appeal for MT Truman to intereede in the strike was made in a telegram to Oscar Chapman, acting Secretary ot the Interior, which stressed that tht shipping tieup is delaying defense construction and the movement ol badly-needed winter supplies to tho interior

 Solution for Britain

1 LONDON, Aug. 16.--tB-Winston Churchill told the British people tonight they could solve their grave economic crisis only through system of free enterprise and asserted acceptance of the labor government program would mean national disaster.
 In a political broadcast to the nation, the leader of the Conser- vative opposition accused Prime Minister Attlees government of failing to solve the country's econ omic crisis.
 There can be no dispute about the Socialist failure or it's grav- ity," he declared.
 The choice which lies before the British nation about the form of its society is between system of competitive selection and system of compulsion.' the wartime Prime Minister added.
 Both these forms of society are hard. The struggle for life is un- ceasing There is no easy or pleas ant road. It will Le uphill all the way.
 But I am sure it is only by personal effort, free enterprise and ingenuity, with all it's risks and failures, with all it's unequal prizes and rewards. that anything 1 like 47,0O0,o00 people can keep themselves alive on this small is land, dependent as it is for all it's flood on selling high quality goods and rendering necessary services /! to the rest of the world RETURN CRITICISM
