A large part of the Norwegian and| Danish merchant fleets now falls into Allied hands and becomes available for Allied war purposes. Thel eived no more handsome in this or in any other British and French have re present from their ene; i, - | Norway may be small in population and in fight- | ing power, but her merchant fleet is the third larg- est in the world. At the start of the war it totaled | 4,834,000 tor almost 25 percent of Britain’s world- | wide tonnage. In human life Norway has lost heav- ily to German depredations by submarine and mines; | but her ship losses up to the middle of last month amounted to less than 100,000 tons, a tiny fraction of her total, and even this may have been replaced by new launchings since the war began. Denmark’s total tonnage last summer was 1,174,000 tor ship sinkings have reduced it by only 50,000 tons, These ships operate in all oceans, and only a comparatively small number of them are to be found | in their home ports at any one time. The Germans claim to have caught many Norwegian ships in Bergen, Trondheim and other harbors when their blitzkrieg struck Norway's coasts; but Scandinavian ships can hardly sail the seas in Germany's behalf | countries. as long as the Allied fleets still ride the waves Hundreds of Norwegian and Danish freighters must have been in neutral ports when the war hit Scan- dinavia; many of the Danish vessels, at least, prob- ably will be interned for the duration of the war. But Norway is now one of the Allies, and in Allied ports there must be a vast fleet of Norwegian ships which cannot return home and will be taken over by the Allies. It is true that many of the Scandinavian ships have been doing the Allies’ work already, especially on Latin-American sea routes, in bringing supplies to Great Britain and France. But the net gain to Allied shipping resources will be enormous all the same. The Norwegian ships that formerly supplied | the homeland will be used for bringing food and war materials to Norway's allies. Britain's lost| sources of food supply in Denmark may be offset | HOROSCOPE \ “The stars incline i but do not compel” e s s O WEDNESDAY, MAY 1 Benefic aspects rule today. Therc is a sign read as of great promise to labor which will benefit through wise comprom Good news of national interest is presaged. Poli- tical leaders are subject to a sway that is fortunate. Heart -and Home: In the after- rnioon the stars smile upon young folk who will be fortunate in edu- cational matters, Serious interest in study will be emphasized among by the greater imports which now can be brought| from overseas in Norwegian and Danish bottoms. After all, the Allies’ total losses at sea amount l()i only 800,000 tons, a little over three percent of their total maritime resources. Their acquisitions in ship- ping as a result of the Scandinavian war may run into millions of tons. It will be more difficult than ever for Germany to starve the British by her sea| warfare, or to prevent the Allies from building up a | crushing preponderance in war materials CORRECTION Through a typographical story on Governor Gruening's return ington, the Governor was made to say in exactly the opposite of what he said in reality Referring to the impending investigation of steamship rates by the U. S. Maritime Commission the Governor said he had no information to indi- cate rates were excessive, or’even adequate. A line of type was dropped out of the Empire story, making error in yesterday's from Wa prin it read: “The Governor said rates were excessive,| or even adequate.” He said nothing of the kind, of course, The Empire is sorry for the error and| hopes this notice will make amends for the slip Frowns to the Right of Them, Frowns | To the Left of Them (Philadelphia Record) No, they're not storm clouds over the Mediter- ranean. They're the frowns of Il Duce, winner of the International Sourpuss Sweepstakes for the years 1 to 1940 inclusive. The Duce can throw black looks farther than any other dictator, and right now he’s throwing them | at every point in Europe, Africa and the Near East where the British, French, Turks or Egyptians have any interests. Fascist editorials suddenly suggest that Italy is| going to war on Hitler’s side. Anti-British demc strations pop up with the spontaneity characteris of totalitarian stage management. The Italian fleet sneaks up on the Dodecanese Islands—and II Duce entertains military men from Berlin. Whether he’s frowning at them, too, time will tell. What's it all about? No secret. The Duce is bargaining. He doesn’t want to go to war. Nor do his people. But he wants to squeeze as much as he can out of promises to stay out or threats to go in—squeeze from the Allies on one hand, the Ger- mans on the other. It would be manifestly absurd for the Duce to | launch invasions in every direction he's frowning— at the Dardanelles, Egypt, Tunisia, Suez, and poinfs south and east, But the bigger the frown, he hopes, | the bigger the concessions. | When TItaly actually goes to war, then we ¢ n | be sure of one thing: that in the Duce’s opinion | the side he's joining has the best chance to win.| Right now, he's watching to see whether the Allies “go to town” in Scandinavia. The results there will mean much. But the frowns—they mean nothing. One Definite Gain (New York Times) Passengers on Italian ships plying between Genoa and New York consist chiefly of refugees. The mounting stream of these travelers from Italy is continually fed by her ally’s invasion of neutral Passage rates have been doubled and in most cases are paid in United States currency. Thus the Berlin-Rome Axis seems to be working out profitably for the southern partner.

Have Own Opinion About Other Games By DILLON GIBBON ; NEW YORK, April 30.—Many no- | pitched better games even in defeat. None of the “perfect game” hurl- ers I've talked to thought they were in great form that particular after-| rnoon. Good, surely, but not unhit- table. Bob Feller rather supported this| idea when he commented on his| no-hitter against Chicago on upen-‘ ing day. “I couldn’t seem to throw a curve very well,” he explained. “The ‘ball seemed slippery and the wind kept it from doing its stuff. I think I've been a lot faster, too.” Skipper Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox agreed: “I've seen him better.” Bob’s remarks reminded me of the time when I caught four no-hit game pitchers together in Washing- | ton—Vernon Kennedy, Bill Dietrich and Ted Lyons o the White Sox and Wes Ferrell o the Senators. (Ken- | nedy is now with the Browns and Ferrel with the Dodgers). Not Their Best They all agreed that they had had more stuff and pitched better games than on the days when they threw themselves into the Hall of Fame. Kennedy, Dietrich and Ferrell thought almost to the end that an early inning scrateh hit had spoiled things. Lyons knew what was hap- pening though. “Nervousness gets you in the late innings and you be- gin to give more thought to every pitch. Your heart jumps into. your | mouth every time a ball is hit,” he| said. The last Boston batter against Lyons in that 1926 gam> banged one | far off first base but Earl Sheciey made a brilliant backhanded catch, “Luck and fine fieldine count the most,” observed Dietrich. “Batters can hit the ball hard and ye. drive it right into a fieldei’s h ‘ “When I heard the crowd yelling I knew I was near a perfect game,” said Kennedy. A running catch by Al Simmons saved Kennedy while Hank Bonura made a couple of nice stops for Dietrich. | Feller Unruffled While these hurlers told me that the late inning pressure was almost unbearable, Feller intimated it did not bother him. “Sure I knew I had a no-hilter— hit game pitchers believe they have| | hushing each other on the bench for Bloom; Original Script, Miss Alice as in ON, A unstressed, accent FIRST syllable). “The insult aroused a | wild combative impulse in him.” The Charles W.

While waiting for the Queen, they listen to the flowers sing and dance but fall asleep only to be awakened by children singing in the woods. Heralds appear announcing the approaching Queen and her proces- sion. After the crowning she is seated upon her throne and is entertained by the children of the woods. The May pole dance is given in her honor. As a grand finale the entire group sing to their May Day Queen. This May day program, an event of tomorrow evening in the Juneau High School gymnasium, is an orig- inal fete planned and produced by their Patty Hill blocks.
