From the documents which came to the congres- ional investigating committee it is clear that the Nazis planned a military uprising in Uruguay. The country was to be taken over at a propitious moment Reich and as a base from which to operate against South American nations. For long Uruguay has been a center of German intrigue. From there the elaborate Nazi organization had close contact with the large bodies of German settlers The conspiracy is traced through an elaborate setup of Nazi organizations which regiment the Ger- mans in South America as thoroughly as in the Third Reich itself, right to the door of the German legation in Montevideo.

Mr. Zweibel had just returned to his Chicago headquarters from a sojourn in India before he started to Alaska for a survey of Pabst business in the Territory. His Alaska trip will take him to Fairbanks and Nome by plane, to Anchorage, Ko- diak, Seward and return to Juneau by steamer so that he can see Co- lumbia Glacier enroute. “I have probably flown more miles than a lot of pilots,” Mr. Zweibel said, “and I can't say enough in praise for Pan American Airways. Its service, all over the world, and 1 have travelled most of its lines, is Electra from Juneau to Fairbanks is only another trip. Except that his PAA flights are usually in South America, across the Pacific to Man- ila, or through Central America and the West Indies, and he hopes that weather will permit his seeing glac- iers enroute to Fairbanks. Zweibel arrived in Juneau on the Columbia on his first trip to Alaska and yesterday with Barney Kane, local wholesale representative, saw his first glacier. “I've flown over the snow-capped superb. It is the best way to travel in the Pacific, especially since the war. Just think of flying to Manila in five days, in place of taking 30 days by boat!” While in Juneau Zweibel is a guest at the Baranof Hotel. — e, — The Daily Alaska smpire has the largest paid circulation of any Al- aska newspaper. g A G e Empire Classifieds Pay! is the ordered and calculable | | ROBERT SIMPSON, OPT.
