breaking On entlIe Cooe system.
One or even several messages
might no do it. A great many
must usually be obtained and
over a long period Of time,s For
codes are frequently alternated
- hourly, daily, monthly or
yearly. /,
But any decided message
might fill in the final gap in a
code breaking job WHICH might
have been going on for years.
Breaking American, codes
would have been much easier be-
fore the war than now. Early in
the war the State Department
and armed services began to
make a widespread use of code
machines. With these a great
many more code systems can be
employed, and they can be
changed more frequently.
Code making and code breaking
is an age-old war between eryp-
tographers and cryptic analysts.
The former devise the codes. and
the latter try to break them.
American crytoanalySts achiev-
ed gigantic victory when they
broke the Japanese and German
codes before the last war. What
they had done was revealed in
the Congressional Pearl Harbor
investigation in 1945. r. $
After years of arduouS effort
they devised machine which
decided messages that might
have lost the war for the Japan
csc. Next to the atomic bomb
project it was perhaps the most
secret operation of the war. ~
With the machine our govern
ment learned Of JAPANESE prepar-
atoms for the attack toh Pearl
Harbor and facts about Jap naval
activities which led to OUR VIC
tories in the Coral Sea and at
Midway. 1t directed H. s.. sAbs
in attacks on Jap conveys. 1t re-
vealed the messages from the
Japanese Ambassador in Berlin,
sometimes telling what Hitler
had said of his war plans.
The japanese didn't change
their code all during the war. It
would have been difficult for
them to do so because Of the
completely of their language.
Whatever might have been
learned of the American codes
through the Chambers documents
would have benefited a foreign
power only for a limited time,
since even then we changed our
code systems at intervals.
Infinite precautions, moreover,
are taken to keep code messages
secret. A first principle Is never
to let a copy of the code lpessage
be attached to or identified with
the same message decided. For
highly secret messages, the code
is as complex as possible, requir-
ing the solution of a whole series
of ciphers or codes before the
message can be read in the clear.
Personnel in code rooms are
the most carefully screened of
any. And a great effort is made
to keep the personnel turnover as
low as possible. The staff is well
paid and we'll cared for.
A large number of systems are
employed. Some are simple,

SNOW FLOWS ARE
 BEING BUILT TO
 WORK AT SUMMIT

SEATTLE, Oct. 4-tR-An Alaska Freight Lines official said today the company is building four snow blows to keep the 30-mile summit section of Alaska's Richardson highway open this winter.

 He said the company will concen- trate all rut one or two of its ,6-truck fleet on the Richardson highway this winter. In the past it las divided them over various high way routes.

TW0-WAY HELP FOR ALASKAN BUSINESS IN WARNE'S PLAN
Rofarians Hear Alaska De. veIopmenf Corpora
 lion Idea

The Interior Department idef now called the Alaska Development Corporation Bill would be the an swer to Alaska's present need fol risk capital, according to William Warne, Assistant Secretary of tht interior
 He spoke in detail about the plar when he appeared before the Jul neau Rotary Club at it's noor meeting in the Baranof Hotel to- day
 Admitting he couldn't anticipate the fate of the bill, Warne said that, if it passed, it would further the development of the Territory in two ways.
 1. Low-cost loans would be ex- tended by the Corporation to pri- yate individuals for financing needed and economically feasible businesses and industries in locall- ties where such businesses and in dutries do not already exist.
 He called Alaska's lack of build ing material industries shameful, and said that the low-cost loans would encourage the development of such needed industries.
 2. The Corporation would under take by itself to establish projects which would produce to ill a need but which are not yet economically practicable for private development.
 Hydro electric development could be undertaken by the Corporation, he said. He reviewed the history of the Grand Coulee and Bonne- vile power projects on the Colum- bia river to show how Alaska could attract industry through the de- velopment of it's natural resources.
 The projects undertaken by the Corporation would be leased or rented or leased on a purchase basis to private concerns, Warne said.
 The corporation plan calls for a board of directors made up entirely of Alaskans with the main office of the corporation in Alaska.
 He pointed out that Corporation projects would not be established In competition with already exist ing privately-owned concerns.
 The Gill is not yet in writing but Warne was hopeful for it's suc- cess because of growing interest in the development of Alaska ir Congress, the Capital and the United States"
 He promised to circulate a draft of the proposed Alaska Develop ment Corporation Bill in the Ter ritory before it is presented to Congress.
 Warne was introduced at the Rotary Club meeting by Kenneth Kadow, chairman of the Alaska , Field Committee of the Depart ment of the Interior.
