Our men were so exhausted at the final hour that they could not walk 50 feet. They had no air force whatsoever. The Japanese had unliinited sup- plies of food. The Americans were blockaded for the entire five months except for one shipload of supplies which sneaked through. Our men lost an average of 25 percent of each person’s weight. The cavalrymen sacrificed their mounts for food. At the end, our men had nothing but rice—and no salt to go with it. They surrendered because they could do nothing else. Perhaps the ones who lost their lives were lucky, at that We don't hate the Japs near as much as we should yet Empire President d Business Manager PRESS local news published MORE RUBBER NEEDED JOHN W.

In Teller he was to change propellors on the Maude, substituting two bladed ice propellors for his Arctic trip. H. A. Harland, uncle of Mrs. P. R. Bradley, arrived in Juneau on the Jefférson and was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley. Mr Harland had retired from business after spending 30 years in South Africa where he was mill superintendent with the Robinson Gold Mining Company. L. L. Harding, secretary to Gov. Scott C. Bone, and Mrs. Harding returned from duPont where they had been house guests of Mr. and Mrs, Paul Abbott for several days. Postponement of the annual meeting of the Territorial Board of Dental Examiners from July 10 to August 1, was announced by Gov. Bone. Dr. E. H. Kaser, of the firm of Kaser and Freeburger, was Presi- dent of the board and the membership was distributed thioughout the Territory. b I I Voting for the Goddess of Liberty contest had gone over the hundred mark and Miss Leona Graber was in the lead with 125 votes. Miss Dorothy Olson and Miss Goldie Ham had, however, an even chance to come out ahead before the contest was over. Miss Olson had 94 votes and Miss Halm, 88. & Mrs. Willis E. Nowell, wife of the agent here for the Alaska Steam- ship Company, arrived in Juneau on the Jefferson after spending the two previous years living in Seattle with her daughter who was a student in the University of Washington. Twenty men had turned out the preceding night for work on the city playgrounds and recreation park and forty men were requested to turn out in the evening, said J. Latimer Gray. Work was to begin at 7:30 o'clock and everyone was requested to bring his own tools. Miss Mildred Hooker, daughter of Mrs. Katherine Hooker, returned to Juneau from Wrangell where she had been visiting Mr. and Mrs. seek spiritual direction and com-|P.C. McCormick. Miss Leila Ptack, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ptack, returned to Juneau on the Jefferson, having completed her second year at the in postwar University of Oregon.

Leader of this undercover drive for Brown is his close buddy Sidney Weinberg, Wall Street banker and Nelson’s executive assistant. In inner WPB circles, Weinberg is credited with being largely responsible for the retention of so many business-as- usual minded $1-a-yearers in WPB. Meanwhile, other advisers are urging Nelson to appoint Louis Holland of Kansas City, who last year did an outstanding job of organizing small plants in his area into co-ops, which succeeded in ob- taining war orders. Holland intim- ately knows the problems of small business, is a forceful and able exccutive and would make an ace choice for head of SWPC. Another champion of little busi- ness urged for appointment to the board is Pete Nehemkis, who did an outstanding job on the investiga- tion of monopolies two years ago, and who knows intimately the problems of little business. Also proposed for the board is Elizabeth Brandeis of the University of Wis- consin, daughter of the famous Supreme Court justice who ‘spent a lifetime crusading for little busi- ness. (Note: Secretly, Nelson already has promised a place as board mem- ber on SWPC to Theodore Granik, New York-Washington lawyer with potent Tammany connections, and conductor of The American Forum of the Aijr.)
