BILE was Typhoon Gloria, which
raised roofs and injured many,
killing one child, last summer.
Mr.. Crawford had arrived just
in time to greet Gloria and was

claimed that the typhoon had
packed twice the wallop of the
one which wreaked havoc in

after TIE invasion.
Gloria lifted the roof from
the largest movie building on
the island, and today, pending
the construction of a permanent
building, troops and their de-
pendents are enjoying" the
same amphitheater arrange
ment that the first garrison
forces knew in 1945.
Stateside communication is
much better than it was in 1945.

port of call for all surface trans
portation. Commercial as well as
military ships are stopping at
Okinawa these days. Mr.. Craw-
ford said. noting that on his
daily rounds of the islands he
generally spots four or more
itinerant vessels.
The town Of Naha, fought for
as bitterly and as many times
as any other plot of land dur
ing World War II, has not been
rebuilt from the shambles to
which Jap and Yank artillery
reduced it in 1945. One reason
for this is the lack of factory
production, primarily sugar.
which Okinawans turned out
before the war. Not one of
the sugar refineries has been re-
built. Okinawa native activity
is mainly centered in agriculture
and selling.
The natives themselves, Mr..

He looks forward to getting down
on that level.
The new Army Secretary talks
rapidly and earnestly and Is al
ways saying parenthetically that
he must hurry along to get all his
facts across and round out his
ideas. He has an informal feet
on-the-desk manner and i'm
presses one pretty much as an
honest country boy selling some
prize eggs at a crossroads store.
Two years at fashionable Hill Pre-
paratory School at Pottstown,
Pa; four at Princeton and three
years at Harvard Law School have
left him with no discernable af-
fectation.
One Of the most amazing things
about Mr.. Pace is the inability to
find any one in Government cir
cles who has anything harsh to
say about him, to admit that he
has any shortcomings. Appar-
emily his willingness to consult
fully with them over budget mat
ters and then make a fair and
factual presentation to the Presi-
dent even when he disagrees-in
sharp contrast to some of the star
chamber proceedings at the bu-
reau in the past-have convinced
almost everybody that he's tops.
Don't you have any enemies?"
Mr.. Pace was asked. %i.,
Makes No Enemies
"Well." he drawled. I'll admit
I've had to say no pretty posi-
lively to a lot of people in this
| job-I've had to turn down about
SO out of every 100 congressional
requests, for instance-but as far
as I can see none of them have
ever taken it personally. They may
have thought my Judgment was
bad, and undoubtedly a lot of
them have thought so, but, as far
as I can find, none of them ever
persenalized on the subject"
In explaining the difficulty of
cutting. back expenditures, Mr..
Pace has frequently been quoted
that about "a per cent of the
budget goes to pay for past wars,
lefforts to avert another war and

very best.
The new Army Secretary sees
eye to eye with Mr.. Truman and
Mr.. johnson on uniflcation-he
has no preconceived ideas about
military problems as such.
II hope I can be a factor ir
promoting unification even fur.
ther," he stated. II recognize that
military needs must be continu-
ally revaluated in the light of the
world situation"
Personnel Problem
What problems does he think he
will face in the new post?
Il don't feel I'm in a position
to answer that-I'll have to take
a closer look after I'm in Office a
while" he replied cagily.
Perhaps the No. l problem fac
ing Mr.. Pace will be to keep the
Army ranks filled with good. in
telligent youngsters-up to the
ceiling Of 100000 officers and men
which he himself had a large part
in setting.
Mr.. Pace also will find himself
arguing for new equipment, which
the Army lacks in adequate num-
bers. and for Alaskan housing
which the department repeatedly
has said has kept it from keeping
a sufficient garrison in the stra-
tegic Far North during the bitter
winter months.
A fourth major problem facing
the department today is Japan
There have been reports that the
Army and State Departments did
not see eye to eye on this problem
that those differences hastened
the resignation of Undersecretary
OF the Army Tracy S. Voorhees,
Although these reports were Off
cially denied, they still persist

something about Government

TOKYO.-Easter morning five
years ago was gray, an over
cast 5000 feet thick hiding the
rising Pacific sun. From their
position in the small personnel
boats, eager-faced young SOL
diers and Marines could barely
see the cloud of smoke and dust
that sporadically leaped from
the shoreline as -lobbed
shells struck at Japanese de-
fenses.
Then, with a slow, mechanical
precision. the circling personnel
boats unwound, began to push
toward the beach. Easter morn
ing. 1945. at 0600 hours, the in
vasion of Okinawa was on.
Three months, three days
and $4,000 casualties later, a
flight of Psi fighter planes
took off from Naha Airfield and
bombed and strafed cities of
the japanese homelands. Okin-
ava. the last steppingstone to
Japan, was ours.
It remains so today although
the strength of our garrison
forces is less than one-tenth
that which stormed the island
and one-f1fth of that with
which the japanese sought to
defend it.
Aside from the number of men
other things about Okinawa
have changed considerably.
And they are due to change
even more as United States
concentration in the Far East
appears to be shifting more
toward that major island of the.
Ryukyus chain.
Antidote for Typhoons
Zed Crawford, supervisor Of
American Red Cross operations
on Okinawa, who arrived last
May, points out that significant
face-lifting has been accom-
plished even since he arrived.
Permanent buildings are going
up all over the southern end
Of the island. replacing the
temporary frame and Quonset
structures which had housed
garrison forces and offices since
the island was secured in June.
1945.
The permanent housing con-
struction was instituted as an
antidote for Pacific typhoons
which generally hit the island
three or four times each year.

Hemisphere.
Tomorrow the all-important
OAS Council is scheduled to begin
consideration of the five-nation
Peace Commissions recent report
on the political and revolutionary
conSpiracies that have agitated
the Caribbean for more than two
years. AS one of the most astute
and cautious Latin diplomats In
Washington sees it, the outlook
for a clearcut adoption of the rec
concentrations contained in the
document is not too promising"
After an on-the-spot, gloves-off
investigation. the committee. ap-
pointed by the Council and headed
by DR.. Jose A. Mora of Uruguay,
came up with sensational findings
against several of the governments
OF that area. 1t declared the
Dominican Republic, through
henchmen of President Rafael
Trujillo. guilty of harboring and
giving aid to revolutionary plot
ters seeking the overthrow of the
government of Haiti. It also
established that officials and
prominent citizens of Cuba and
Guatemala had abetted the
Caribbean Legion" and other sub
versive groups in repeated plans
to invade the Dominican Republic
and unseat Dictator Trujillo.
Stronger Council Urged
The singing report of the fact
finders is not only an innovation,
but unprecedented in hemisphere
relations. But the Mora commit
tee feels that it is not enough
merely to turn the spotlight Of
publicity upon the would-be ag-
gressors. Exposing the culprits
will not be enough to put an end
to political pickering and back
biting in the American neigh
borhood.
The committee has called upon
the Council to take steps to make
itself more positive, not to say
more powerful, in enforcing its
decisions against such trouble
makers. 1t recommends that the
Rio defense treaty. which pro-
vides for all sorts Of political and
economic sanctions in case of ag-
greSsion, or threatened aggression,
either from within or from with
out the hemisphere, be invoked
without delay against any and all
who persist in creating disturb
ances in the American family of
nations.
The investigators also say, in
effect. that unless the pan-Amer-
lean organization, through a
watchdog commission. or some
other agency of it's own creation,
keeps a keen eye upon those al
ready guilty Of political indiscre-
tions against their neighbors, it
will imperil its own prestige. The
group recommends that the Coun-
Gil see to it that the Dominican
Republic prevents its officials from
"tolerating. instigating. stimulat-
ing, aiding or fomenting subver-
sive movements against other gov
ernments." It further recon-
mends that the Council call upon
the Cuban and Guatemalan gov
ments to wash their hands of 1.-The
Caribbean Legion" and stop the
traffic in arms which so many of
their nationals have been carrying
on with various subversive ele-
ments in Latin America.
These are some of the decisions
with which the OAS Council is
now confronted. Washington OBJ

FILM ANOTHER E

 AT 10TH CENTURY

Capitalizing on the current trend toward realism, Twentieth Century Fox has given the campus fresh new look which the rah-rah breth- ren of the raccoon twenties and the frantic thirties wouldn't recognize.
 According to previewers. the Tech nicolor comedy. Mother Is Fresh man." starring Loretta Young and Van Johnson. due tonight at the 20th Century Theatre, is college movie where students really act like students, with no chorus of shapely chorines. no absent-minded professor or not even a game-win- ming, last-minute touchdown in the final reel.
 Instead. there is projected against a realistic college background the novel story idea of a lovely young widow, who. financially embarrassed after years of luxury, discovers that she is eligible for a college scholar ship. Following her sophomore daughter to the campus, she enrolls as freshman and promptly falls in love with the handsome profess sor of English literature, with whom her daughter is also enamoured. Then the story starts.

''LU5T FOR GOLD" COMING SUNDAY,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

When a Hollywood picture. pur- ports to be the true story of any, thing. many movie patrons register their disbelief. attributing this claim to the healthy exaggeration of the advertising copy writer.
 It so happens, however, that Co., lumbia Pictures uses this terminol- ogy in the full realization of what it means in describing its latest of- fering, Lust for Gold" co-starring Glenn Ford and Ida Lupino at the Capitol Theatre Sunday and Mon- day. '"The true story" the movie ads proclaim, "of secret treasure, reaching back through 100 years of daring, jealousy and murder" That this is a conservative statement is borne out by the source material upon which the film is based and the further fact that it's authenticity is vouched for by no less than the Governor of Arizona, the state in which the dramatic events occurred.
 Lust for Gold" is based upon Barry Storms factual book. "Thun- der Gods Gold" which is the true tale of the finding of the fabulous Lost Dutchman gold mine in Ari- zona's Superstition Mountains and of the many men and woman who fought and killed for $2O,00O,00O in gold hidden in it's bowels.

 It's the chance of a lifetime for Hein Ten Hoff, but the betting odds say he won't cash in on it. Walcott is ruled solid favorite.
 It's the Germans first big inter- national ring show since Hitler started them fighting with guns in- stead of gloves. Some 60,000 will probably cheer their national cham pion. Walcott's cheering section will include about 5000 American soldiers.

vFW OFFICIALS, ON VISIT TO JUNEAU,
 GIVE ACTIVITIES

lWeIty-SeVen years memDerSnlp in the Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization, years of service and activity. is the rec ord of Mrs. Bessie Hanken. Past National President, and 25 years for Mrs. Doris Holm, National Chaplain, two women who are in Juneau this weekend for the de- partment of Alaska conference of vFW being held here from today until Tuesday morning.
 Mrs. Hanken, who Is member of Post $40 in Revere, Mass, was first elected National President in 1928 and has held various national offices since. Her greatest distin- ction and honor. she said yesterday
 n an interview, was being elected president of the board of trustees of the National Home, situated in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, home for orphans of war veterans.
 Mrs. Holm was elected National Chaplain last year at Miami and previous to that had served as National Conductress and National Chief of Staff. She is member of Post 3598 in Evanston, Ill.
 In most of their interview, their talk was not of themselves but of the National Home, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and in which Alaska has also played a contributing part.
 The home consists of 27 bunga- low units, fully equipped hospital. chapel, guest lodge and nursery for babies. There are at present about 261 children in the home and the time has come, Mrs. Hanken said, when children who were themselves raised in the home (some from 18 months of ege) are bringing their own children back for visits. This year six youngsters from the high school were sent to Europe, as a good will gesture. one to go to each major country and they will bring back with them six young foreign children who will spend the summer in Eaton Rapids. The six VFW children were picked for the trip on their scholastic records.
 Alaska's part in this program was the contribution of $750 to furnish a room of the hospital, besides it's regular contributions for upkeep
 Another important function of the VFW Auxiliary is the cancer program.
 In 1947 when the Roscoe Jackson Memorial cancer research labora- tory at Bar Harbor, Maine, burned, the Auxiliary pledged $110,00 to rebuild a portion of. the center. Alaska's Auxiliary contributed $550. The cancer center has been com pleted and this year the Auxil- iaries will contribute $50,000 toward cancer work among children, the contribution to be memorial to Grace H. Davis, first director of Children's Mercy Hospital in Kan sas City, Mo.
 Mrs. Hanken is in charge of all hospital work for VFW Auxiliaries, and came here following tour of hospitals in the southern states and a meeting with Gen. Gray, in Washington, D. O., head of the Veterans Administration, on hospi- tai work.
 Ms. Holm will go from here to Montana and other midwest states, to attend var Jus state department conferences.

enough water to run through them.

Frank Clark of the Coop main
tenance crew visited the source
of supply this week, and found the
area very dry.

night Wednesday. 1t will continue
until a more adequate flow of water
reaches the Co-op's storage tanks.
