U ‘\'hkl'LAlN‘l' D EVACUATION ‘The unexplained unqlmhrmd shift of the Alaska offices of the National Resources Planning Board from Juneau to Portland, Oregon, where it will become the Alaska Division of the Northwest Of- .m(l fice seems to be an unwise move. When the Alaskan area was finally deemed im- portant enough in Washington, D. C.. to warrant the establishment of a branch of the National Resources Planning Board, it was apparent that the officials of the new office would accomplish much more work with less expense involved if the office was set up in the area which the planning experts were to study. To move the office back into the Continental United States at this time, especially when military officials are doing all in their power to cut down on unnecessary travel between the Territory and the States, just doesn’t seem right. Although much of the work done by the National Resources Planning Board never reaches print as re- leased by the planning ofiicials themselves, the agen- cy has been busy in Alaska. Its primary duty is to study the problems faced in the development of Alas- ka and to make reports to the President of the United States. The Alaska office of the Board has of late spent much time in the study of Alaska’s transpor- tation problem and that iuformation has been passed along to the proper authorities in Washington, through the Office of the President. Much of this work has been kept secret in view of the war. But both military and civil ag2ncies have found the find- ings of the Alaska office of the Board very helpful. Just how the shift of the Board’s office from Juneau to Oregon will affect the Board’s efficiency may only be determined by the future. But it is our belief that the Board’s work will be slowed up quite considerably. Board members in Alaska can give no reason for the shift except that it been ordered by the Washington office. has Y New Position (Cincinnati Enquirer) Chile, along with Argeniina, remains in “friendly” relations with the Axis powers. The two continue outside the framework of inter-American cooperation in relation to the war. But in contrast with Ar- gentina, where the Acting President gives no evi- dence of sympathy with the United Nations, Chile has adopted a clear-cut and on the whole very satisfactory attitude.

That is a welcome prospect. Symbol For Free Men (Cincinnati Enquirer) Many a small hamlet proudly bears a name made famous by a great city. But perhaps never b@furel did a community take with such pride the name of | a village as when, on Sunday, the people of Stern | Park Gardens, I, rededicated it as the town of Lidice. Lidice—it is a name which a few weeks ago was familiar only to a very tiny fraction of the earth's| population. But now it 1, a name known in every quarter of the globe—a name and a symbol, immor- | talized in one savage act ! The Gestapo agents and Storm Troopers who un- lertook to eradicate the village of Lidice in Czecho- 3lovakia just a month ago did their work with| ‘haracteristic thoroughness. Not a man, not an| slder boy among the several hundred families of the village was missed in the roundup. Not a one was excused as they stocd them in a line and the machine guns began chattering. And as they fell, | they were prodded with tie toe of & boot. A few still lived, with the machine gun bullets in them— sut just for a few seconds more, because the Nazis e efficient. | The great Adolf Hitler, or one of his terroristic inderlings, had ordered Lidice utterly and completely wiped out—because it was suspected that some of its residents had harbored the executioners of Rein- | hard “the Hangman” Heydrch. So after the men and the older boys were dead, | every last one of them, and a few clods of eurlh} thrown over their still warm hodies, the Gestapm agents and the Storm Troopers assembled the wom- [ and children. Nor did they miss a one of them—| the women destined for tiie hell of the concentration | camp, and the children destined for institutions to teach them, so they would never forget it, that the Germans were the master race. And then, as these pitiful processions were getting | under way, the men with the torches started. They did not miss a cottage, a store, the church, or even a shed. All went up in fiames, all of the commun- ity that generations of industrious Cgzechs had built and where they had worked and reared their fami- lies—the boys just shot, and the children on their way to institutions. Then the records, all records referring the Lidice, were destroyed. And the Nazis had made good their boast. Lidice was no more. Or so they thought. But now Lidice is a symbol of what we are fighting against, and for. And men will remember it long after none can recall the name of Berchtesgaden. not been Lhe same in this old world ago when the girls started hav- —Londo Free Press.

His private secretary, Miss Grace Tully, who helps shoulder the ter- rific burden of work, sits at a cesk only three steps from the door of the President’s office, Here is a tppical slice out of one of her days: A stack of mail is on the desk, the telehone in her hand. Through the hall door comes Capt. John Livingston McCrae, the President’s Naval Aide. “Can I get in there, Grace?” says the captain | “Leon Henderson is with him.” “Let me know when he leaves. T've got something urgent.” Miss Tully puts down one phone and picks up another. She calls Marvin McIntyre. “Mac, when Mr. Henderson goes out, hold everything. Capt. McCrae wants a minute.” MciIntyre agree to hold every- | thing, which in this case happens | ises somebody to attend to some- mum full time of adult workers from $1,000 to $1200. The phone rings, and Grace prom- thing. By now, Henderson has gone, and Capt. McCrae slips in. Next comes the Secretary of State, but not through Grace's office.

He strides out of the room to wait his turn for an interview. At this point, Grace Tully leans back in her chair and remarks that her job is a three-ring circus. For fourteen years she has worked with the President, before that with Car- dinal Hayes in New York, “It was quieter then,” she says with a sigh.
