M()Nh\' l'()l( ROADS Delegate Dlmm)ds achievement of the difficult task of getting the House Roads Committee to in- crease the statutory limit on Alaska forest highway funds from $400,000 per year to $500,000 will mean a lot to Alaskans in years to come. Forest highway funds are apportioned nationally according to a formula which takes into considera- tion the area of forest land and its value in each State. But Alaska gets different treatment. Under the formula, because of our large forest areas, we would receive twice as much for road purposes as| | we have been getting in the pa: So Congress Join in this | ! arbitrarily sets a limit on the Alaska apportionment. A few years ago it was $350,000 a year, Delegate| | Dimond fought to have it increased, and it was, to| $400,000. Now for the first time Alaska is to get| half a million a year for forest highways. The new sum will be available for the fiscal years 1942 and| 1943, If Alaska needs anything, it needs roads. This increase in funds available to the Public Roads Ad- ! ministration will have a direct effect upon the de- velooment of Alaska. DA! June 16 has been set as the date for elections| tn the Karelian-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic. That republic, in case you've forgotten, is the| chunk of Finland grabbed by Russia in the recent | war. | In these parlous times we are especially umm‘ about making predictions. But on this occasion we| are moved to take a chance. We predict that \\hcn‘ the votes are in, no matter what the question, the vote will be at least 98 percent: ‘Da!” That's Russian for The Train That Slipped Pa ht thc Sentry “Jal” | (Philadelphia Record) German exploit of sending a troop train Norway “disguised” as a Norwegian troop train is unmatched in recent military history for ! sheer audacity. | It inevitably recalls the Trojan horse, or at least the exploit of Mutt (or was it Jeff?) who returned to his airfield after a few hours’ absence during the World War to report that he had destroyed the rail- road communications between Berlin and Constanti- nople by sneaking into the railroad station and steal- ing all the tickets. The Germans reversed this, through enemy territory on a pass. They went | beneath the guns of Hegra fortress after notifying both the fortress and the Norwegian railways that | their train a special one running under orders !from the Norwegian Government. | It would be easy to exaggerate the military im- portance of this feat. The east-west line taken by a few hundred Ggrmans does divide Norway between north and south. Butsonly in a superficial sense. | Norway north of Trondheim is a long, narrow | coastal strip, without any major north-south rail or highway connections. The Germans did not dam- age British control of the Northern Norwegian coast by traveling inland to the Swedish border. | | But the exploit of the railway trip from Trond- heim to the interior is important in indicating the | temper of the German mind in this war. They are taking wild chances as an extension of Hitler's what- can-we-lose attitude. The British, burdened by the knowledge that | serious slips may cost them world dominion, move | | with the greatest caution, while Hitler can afford | lto blithely disregard all the rules of sfrategy and tactics on the gamble of victory. The expedition from Trondheim, which involved | ‘mrthr-r treachery by Norwegian officials, is only one of many such actions the high command may risk. | If enough of them are successful, Hitler's hold on| Southern Norway may be consolidated in a few weeks, and with less than 75,000 troops. If that happens it may tax he whole power of the British army, navy |and air foree to dislodge him. i | That is why every minute, counts in the bpecd-\ “ing of Allied aid to the Norweglan defenders, The | longer the dt‘lm. the tougher the task. And the Crocodile \M-pl. | The across Their train traveled (Cleveland Plain Dealer) German papers protest the “brutality” of a Brit- ish air attack upon Bergen's air fields, where Hltk'ri parks his planes. They denounce the “crime of the | bombardment of a civil population in an open city,” though there are no reports of civilian casualties. ‘Warsaw, bombed incessantly in the opening days of the war, Cracow, Poznan and a score of other Polish cities will doubtless be touched by this tender solicitude. A man on our street is so befuddled by the re- ports and denials of warship sinkings that he wants to try a lie-detector test on the European war news censors.

FOR SPRINGTIME ; By ALICE MAX“PLL | AP Feature Service Writer PARIS, May 2.—Not even war has wilted the Frenchwoman's flair for| clothes.

Tailored suits are seen in almond green and in light shades of airforce | blue.

Brown’s a Winner The dark horse in the spring color scheme at the races turns out to'be brown. Costumes all brown. with the exception of the beige stockings, have been rampant at Longchamp and Auteuil. This means usually a brown felt hat, brown wool suit. and gloves, shoes and purse in brown suede. Brown and beige achieve a nice harmony in an outfit consisting of a sraight-line top coat of beige wool worn with a dark brown dress and a brown felt hat having a casual gold chain across the front instead of a ribbon. Brown suede makes the gloves, shoes and bag, the last with gold mounting. These togs were seen at the Ritz. Regulation airforce blue is con- sidered dull from the feminine cloth- es viewpoint. The same slatey cast moved several tones up the color scale, however, is considered tops among swank spring shades.
