C., delivered to Gov. Ernest Gruening's office ye: bore really glad tidings to gold mine operators in Alaska Signed by Donald M. Nelson, director of priori- ay, ties in the all-important OPM office, the message and the major objectives of the Royal Air Force ’ue‘ informed the Governor that mining machinery for | gold operations, including placer mining develop- ments, have been placed in classification A-3 by the | priorities board On the face of it, this cryptic classification might be a little bewildering, but boiled down to its true significance, this means that mining machinery | has been given a preferred rating in the priorities | set-up. It means that while deliveries of many | other goods will be slowed up due to the rush to‘ produce defense materials, mine operators nc-edim, equipment to sustain their present operations or lnw expand their activities, will receive Lollsldlrdflunl second only to the delivery of actual defense needs | such as steel plate for battleships, arms, planes and other vital war goods Not only the mine operators but the Territory has cause to rejoice at this preferred pri- ority rating granted mining machinery. If mining operations in Alaska had been slowed | down or forced to close in some cases, because need- ed machinery to replace worn eqmpmon( could not be obtained, or because machinery for further de- velopment of ‘mines was not to be had, a critical condition would have been created in the Territory. | When the present defense boom has subsided, Alaska will need more going industries than ever | before to put old residents back to work and keep | new residents brought here by the defense work steadily employed. The mines must play an im- | portant part in thi§ rehabilitation era. Mining men, disturbed at the prospect of not | being able to secure needed machinery, had nlready} been holding meetings around Fairbanks. A move | was being started to request the OPM to place mine \ machinery on the preferred priority list. At the same time, moving toward the .samp[ goal, Gov. Gruening for the past several weeks has | been in airmail and radio contact with Mr. Nelson’s priorities division of OPM. Gov. G)uemng had recommended that the m1n<‘ entire | ers ever since.

That the mining has been earmarked for the A-3 bracket, tion with e ~winery m; rating for any non-defense material, is considered a fortunate move for Alaska. Britain’s Aerial Offensive (Cincinnati Enquirer) Although unable to land troops on the continent next best thing, this year, the British are doing the which is to maintain a heavy and growing aeriul, offensive against Germany's industrial and trans- I port centers. Ever since a fortnight before the in- vasion of Russia, the Royal Air Force has maintained a daily schedule of air raids, most of them in the Rhineland, but some ranging as far as Berlin. It become an offensive fully comparable to the series of attacks made by the Luftwaffe against London and other English cities last year. On a recent Sunday night and Monday morning Berlin suffered the heaviest raid of the war date—a dusk-to-dawn attack in great strength which left the German capital a mass of fires, large and small. The magnitude of this raid, which came ex- actly has London, reflects the growing strength of the Royal | the preoccupation of Marshal Goering’s | squadrons in the East, and the tactical advantage to| Air Force, the British of longer hours of darkness. There is no possibility, of course, of a British “blitzkrieg” against the German Reich, or any part of it. Blitz tactics call for relentless bombardment day and night against a limited objective until the cities, seaports, and transport services under attack are so demoralized that capitulation follows. For many reasons, the British are not able to undertake such a campaign. Instead, they must rely on the gradual accumulation of dam- | age—to German production, transport, and morale. We have only the damage done in Berlin and other German cities, in contrast to the detailed, eyewitness accounts sent back from England last year. Consequently, we have no of evaluating Britain's aerial offensive. But in any event, sensational results for Germany is a large country widely scattered. Air bombardment is a slow and | costly way to reduce an enemy’s war potential. Nevertheless, added to the havoc wrought by the | {Red Army, Britain's air offensive is beginning to count, especially in reducing the output of Ger- many's war industries. Whether the results are discernible now or not, the handicap imposed on | Germany will be important, and perhaps decisive | next winter and spring. Yehudi II (Philadelphia Record) Staggering about in a tiny cage in the bacterio- logical laboratory at Notre Dame University is 'Yehudl II, the only germ-free monkey in the world. And science is watching this little simian with pro- |found interest, checking her every motion. Her? Yes, her. For Yehudi II is indeed a she. Professor James A. Reyniers is responsible for donsmg the apparatus by which Yehudi II was |brought into the world, germ-proof, and by which she has been kept so since. It was quite a feat. Yehudi’s mother was first cleansed and sterilized, and then Yehudi arrived via a Caesarian operation, this taking place in a closed chamber, also steril- ized, and so constructed that the scientists them- selves were on the outside. Most humans, from birth to death, are chock full of gtrms. So most animals, Babies get their first germs with their first breath and in their first milk. But Yehudi II gets only milk and food which have been sterilized, and it is introduced into the cage through germ-excluding “air locks.” So it goes, and will go. Yehudi II will live |inside her germ-proof cell indefinitely, while her “progrcss is studied. Her reactions will be duly inoted, her appetites likewise. Already, science has determined that she does not like spinach. It is all very wonderful.
