NOE Naval Station

The designation of the navy base eight miles from town is being changed from Naval Operating Base to U. s. Naval Station, officials revealed this week.
 Under the new designation, all separate components of the NOE, MAS, and other depart. ments, will be grouped under one head for greater efficiency in administration
 Orders for the change came from Washington.
 This is a peacetime set-up the navy said, and in the event of an emergency and enlargement of each depart ment, each would again be- come a separate entity as it has in the past.

who have long sneered at the humble penny, paid 30 cents for % cent items and 20 cents for something!that sells 2 for 35, can now dig the stray pen nies out of their banks and plan to spend them.
 Ben Kraft has started the ball rolling in his grocery de- partment where items are now marked to the closest penny, not nickel. In explaining the revolution ary move, Kraft said that "there are too many people here from outside now who are used to pennies, and in other Alaskan cities they price items to the penny, not the nickel. We are following suit. " Mrs. Kraft is chuckling, this week over the woman who came into the store to buy an inexpensive" baby gift. Any ideas" Mrs. Kraft said. ':'No," said the custo- mer, "but the mother sug- gested a couple of dozen diapers!" When she learned how inexpensive" diapers are, the customer ended up with a rattle. ..

TRUMAN HITS BOTH PARTIES
 FOR BLOCKING
Lashes Out dt Opponents of Government Agencies
 Reorganization

WASHINGTON, May -R- President Truman said today that he did not distinguish between Re- publicanS and Democrats in his call for the removal of "obstructionists' from Congress.
 The President added at his news conference that he does not con- slider as an obstructionist everyone who votes against any part Of hls program.
 He said he applied that label only to those Congressmen who are against everything.
 MT. Truman called for removal of obstructionists from Congress in his speech to the Jefferson Jub.see at Chicago last Monday.
 Reporters asked him today just what he meant by that term.
 From his reply that it could in- clude both Republicans and Dem- ocrats, MT. Truman swung into olldlD Oii A1 Congress who have blocked several of his proposals for the reorganiz- ation of government agencies.
 Four of his plans have been killed by the Senate. One of the biggest fights was that on his plan to reorganize the National Labor Relations Board. Senator Taft (.s- Ohio) lead that. Taft contcnded it was an attempt to repeal a part of the Taft Hartley labor law.
 Democratic senators sponsored resolutions of disapproval that de- feated MT. Truman's plans for the Interstate Commerce and Federal Communications Commission.

ARMSTRONG, OF
 12O'CL0Ck HIGH'
 FAME, DUE FRIDAY

One of the most colorful figuSes in the United States Air Force heads the list of celebrities coming to Juneau for Saturdays celebra- tion of national Armed Forces Day
 Mai Gen. Frank A. Armstrong Jr., commanding general, Alaskan Air Command, will arrive tomorrow and remain until Sunday.
 His exploits in World War Il were so outstanding that the rave movie "l2 O'clock High" was based on them and on Armstrong's per sonality.
 In the war, Armstrong special ized in heavy bombardments with B-l7 aircraft. He lead the first deep penetration aerial attack or the European continent in 1942 and initiated low bombing tactics during daylight raids in Europe a strategy that changed the course of the war there.
 Alaska's air chief also had tour of duty in General Bakers 8th Ali Force in Europe, and in the South Pacific, under General Curtis Le- May, It. General Nathan F. Twin ing, who is overall Alaska mili- tary commander, and General Carl Spaatz.
 With Gregory Peck as the star, the Air Force picture of "12 o. Clock High" depicts the life of General Armstrong, called Gen. eral Savage, who inherited the 9l8th Bomb Group stationed at Arch bury, England, and the problems of the men who flew the B-17 Forts
 General Armstrong was the in heritor of this sick command. The 9l8th sustained terrible losses and had tasted the bitterness of d. feat at a time when the entire future of Allied Armies hung in the balance Worse, the fliers were licked" in their own minds
 WiIllOuI lSSdiu lOl liiiioCii, tie general put forth superhuman eff ort for the rebuilding of that Air Force unit. He told his men a few blunt facts about themse:,es and their job; he taught them to fly and worK as a team; he fought with and for them.
 After only 10 days in which to whip the group into shape, mis- sions were handed down. The major mission-termed a suicide one-was a daylight low-bombilIg attack deep into German territory to Hambrucken. This raid is the highlight of the movie, which in corporates sequences of Air Force combat film.
 General Armstrong will bring three big bombers and formation of jet planes here for demonstra- ton on Armed Forces Day.

States joined Britain, France and Canada in announcing Washington will continue it's association with Europe's economic recovery after the Marshall plan ends in 1852.
 First step before the 12 nations now is the appointment Of deputy foreign ministers to serve on the permanent defense committee These deputies will be named with the least possible delay" so that full time chairman-likely an American can be appointed from their members.
 This high command will be in virtually continuous session to block every aggressive move against the Western World, whether direct attack or Trojan Horse" thrusts.
 "A years experience" the com munique said, has shown that on the political side the meetings ot the council have been too infre- ouent to permit a sufficient eX- change of views on matters of common interest within the scope of the treaty. On the military side, the strategic concept of the treaty has been adopted and defense plan drawn up, and the corresponding estimate of the nec- essary forces is being established"
 The Big Three ministers also dis closed they have agreed on certain changes of policy toward Austria, but they decided to keep tas changes secret for the tune being. This is thought to concern change from military to civilian rule in the western powers occu- pation zones in that country.

yet if I sign my letters to them as

merely Jane, which I think most
unsuitable. Please let me know
