AERIAL MAPPING
 OF S. E. ALASKA
 COMPLETED NOW
Navy Does Job Ahead of Schedule e-Pittures Giy-
 en to Forest Service


 Two complete sets of aerial pie lures, totaling 45,026 in all, were recently accepted for the Forest Service at Annette Island by Divis- ion Supervisor c. M. Archbold frcm the Navy Mapping Squad, headed by Commander Thomas F. Pollack.
 The project was completed ahead of schedule because of the unusual number of clear days since June. All of Southeast Alaska from the boundary line at Portland Canal to Yakutat was covered. This pho tographic mission was probably one of the largest single projects of this eype ever completed, and the Navy Department is to be complimented on job well done,
 Six Navy Neptune two engine medium bombers were converted by the Navy for the photographic mission. Pictures were taken at 2c,oo0 feet with two separate cam era mountings. A six inch cam era taking vertical pictures on a scale of one to 10000 was used for a complete coverage for the U. s. Geological Survey
 Two twelve inch cameras mount ed tandem taking IS degrees of ob- lique from split vertical on a scale of one to 20000 were used to obtain a full coverage. for the Forest Service. The Forest Service pictures come in pairs with pie lures to the right and left on the flight line.
 Both sets of pictures, weighing about one ton, will be forwarded to the Forest Service in Juneau where they will be mounted for use and one set returned to the Division office concerned The pictures come at an opportune time since they will be of great value to both the Geological Survey and the For est Service in completing inven- tories of mineral and forested lands. They will hasten the pulptimber surveys and be for great value in timber use and land use blaming.

wasn't even very funny to the
President, who was compelled to
make a goat of Gen. Vaughan, his
friend.
The Immediately current version
of the affair was that Gen. Vaughan
once more spoke out OF turn and
had to be spanked for it, but this
is not quite true or fair to the
general. It was, of course, a rather
natural assumption, as Gen. Waugh
an has frequently lightened the
present stodgy White House scene
by putting his large foot into his
Icapacious mouth.
The fact is that the President did
plan originally to make his old
friend National Defense aide, rank
ing three underlings in War, Navy
and Air. This would repeat the
unification pattern, which. puts the
Secretary of National Defense in
the cabinet, with secretaries for
the three departments reporting to
him. Aide John Steelman was di-
rected by Mr.. Truman to devise the
plan.
That the President should so de-
eide to elevate Gen. Vaughan Is a
true reflection of their intimacy
Mr.. Truman has a close and peculiar
tie with his old Missouri National
Guard comrade. 1t is possible to
imagine that other members of the
Truman administration would be
here if some one else were President
but not Gen. Vaughan. That cheer

fort
We started frost fishing just after
nine o'clock, at time when the
moon was wearing an overcoat, the
stars had slipped on their mittens,
and the ocean groaned in misery
from the cold.
MY host, Mr. Boggs, was gracious
enough to let me be the first man
to start wading. This was tanta-
mount to letting me be the first
to shoot myself when there were
only two bullets In the gun. One
minute after I had walked in the
ocean that rolls in from Nantucket
and Marthas Vineyard, my dear
little feet were in such condition
that, had stuck them In a deep
freeze, all the meat and vegetables
in 1t would have jumped out to
preserve themselves from freezing.
After five minutes and no fish, I
suggested to my host that he try
it a while, hoping to have a chance
to get on the beach and flap like q
lovesick penguin to warm myself.
But, with the authority that made
me want to stab him in at least
three vital organs at one time, he
said, "No," for me to stay in the
ocean until I got myself a net full
of Tou Cod. So. there was nothing
for me to do except to keep walk
ing along, praying that the fine
and clean life had lived had given
me the stamina and strength su-
ficient to withstand this New Eng
land kindness.
How long do we keep doing this
If there doesn't seem to be any COG

to Britain and France would put
them on a wrong footing. II they
accepted, they would have to agree
In large part to Hitler's terms; If
they refused, they would incur the
blame for having rejected peace.
Our decision not to act did not
prevent the peace rumors from con-
tinuing. It seemed to us that many
of these rumors emanated from
Germany, and were designed partly
to create the impression that Hitler
was always ready for peace, and
partly to confuse the Allies with
alternate peace rumors and inva-
sion rumors.
Charge d'Afaires Kirk cabled
from Berlin on November 5 that
Hjalmar Schacht indicated he
would like to come to the United
States, ostensibly to make q non
political address, II he were assured
of being received by the President
I so that he might present his idas
on how to settle the European con-
flict.
Schacht's move appeared to us TO
be part of a general effort by the
German government to establish
contact with other governments
through unofficial agents who ap-
peared to be acting entirely indie
pendently of the German govern
ment and, in fact, in some ways In
opposition to it.
German Invasion Forecast.
When King Leopold of the Bel
gians suddenly went to The Hague
and Joined with Queen Wilhelmina
Of the Netherlands in offering their
good offices to end the war, Ambas-
sador Davies cabled the President
and me on November 7 that their
move had been prompted by infor-
nation that Germany would invade
the Netherlands on November 9.
Dutch Minister DR.. Alexander
Loudon called on me on the 9Th.
Very wrought-up, he conveyed a
message to the President and me
from his government to the effect
that the neutrality of the Neither
lands and of Belgium might be vio-
lated in matter of days, even hours
Then, on December IA, Ambassa-
fdor Bullitt cabled me from Paris 8
statement to him by Alexis Leger o'
the French Foreign Office that Mus.
! solini was seeking to bring about {
premature peace that would preserve
the Nazi regime in Germany ant
thereby protect his own regime
in Italy. ...... H..
i Leger believed that. Mussolin
u wanted to return to the basic prin
ciples of the four-power pact among
Britain, Germany and Italy, which
the Italian Premier had proposed
in 1888.
Meanwhile, the President had beer

Balkan areas; and (2) the American
and British governments, alarmed
at the prospect of Russia quitting
the war, decided not only to meet
every demand Moscow was making
on Germany, but to 60 the Nazis
one better.
The Soviet government at that
time was clamoring - directly and
through its agents in the United
States and Britain-for an imme-
diate second front in France.
The Russian general staff had
been fully informed that neither
America nor Britain was ready to
take such a chance without risking
a major defeat. RusSia's campaign
for second front was merely pre-
text for her attempted realignment
with Germany.
Hull Rushed to Moscow.
When top-secret information
reached President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill that
Prime Minister Stain was about
ready to abandon his allies, prin-
cipally because he feared that they
would want to honor the Atlantic
Charter which Russian Ambassador
Maxim Litvinoff had signed 18
months earlier, they decided to rush
their foreign ministers to Moscow.
Secretary Of State Hull and Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
went to the Soviet capital and met
Foreign Minister Molotov. They
had no power to sign away the
independence and sovereignty Of the
small states-which are now behind
the Iron Curtain-but they reached
agreement prior to the Big Three
Conference at Teheran, where
Stain obtained such a great victory
that further negotiations with Hit
Ter were improbable.
The documents in the possession
of the American Government deal
ing with Russian German negotia-
tions through neutral countries
reveal in detail all the proposals
and counterproposals between the
two relationships up to the time oa
the Teheran Conference.
These papers are said to show
conclusively that If the American
