JUNEAU, ALASKA, THURSDAY, O TOBER R ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS [, 1942 ARDINALS DEFEAT YANKS BY 4-3 SCORE President in Secret Swing TOUR OF TWO WEEKS ENDED BY ROOSEVELT Chief Executive Visits Al Sections of United States CompleiesTTip of 8,754 Miles Inspecting All War Industries WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 The White House lifted its two weeks’ censorship today on the movements of President Roosevelt and disclosed in a formal statement his return from an inspection tour of war fac- tories throughout the country. The statement said: “The White House announces the return of the President to Washington after a most successful two weeks' inspec- tion tour of the country. “The President left Washington Thursday evening, September 17 and returned shortly after noon to- day, completing a trip of 8,754 miles, during which he inspected Army and Navy bases, shipyards, tank, airplane and shell producing plants, Army and Navy and Marine train- ing centers, supply depots and em- barkation points. “The President travelled through Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota on the way west to North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and ‘Washington down the length of the Pacific Coast and returned through the southwest states of New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana and thence to Washington, stopping at Army cantonments in Mississippi and South Carolina.” The Washinoton Merry - Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert 8. Allen on active duty.) WASHINGTON—When the his- tory of his war is written, it will be found that the man who had most to do with getting real quantities of supplies to Russia was unobtrusive, harassed Henry Morgenthau. Almost no one knows it outside the inner circle, but it was Morgen- thau who finally got a statement in writing from the President saying that, with Hitler about to launch the biggest attack in history sup-’ plies to Russia must come first. This was around March 10 of this year. Prior to that time, supplies to Russia had gone in driblets. Aus- tralia was pressing its demands. Britain needed supplies for Egypt, India, the Dutch East Indies. China needed bombers. Russia had been solemnly promised munitions, except in infinitesimal quantities, they were not shipped. Everyone agreed that if Russia was able to hold this summer, Hit- ler was well on the way to defeat. But even so, Russia did not get the munitions. So finally Morgenthau put the matter flatly before the President and got a statement from him in writing. Incidentally, the President, through some whim, wrote his chit on an old piece of paper with the heading “Assistant Secretary of the Navy.” He had kept it for 22 years, ever since the days of Woodrow Wilson. Morgenthau then got the chit photostated and sent it around to the war chiefs. When Donald Nel- son demurred over sending large supplies to Russia, Morgenthau sim- ply said: “Well, here it is in writ- ing.” So beginning at that .time, sup- plies really left for Russia. NOTE — The nation can also thank Morgenthau for being more farsighted than anyone else in the cabinet about building planes for France and England. When a French pilot cracked up in Cali- fornia, Morgenthau was panned se- verely on the Senate floor and,the Senate Military Affairs Committee proposed an investigation.

Undle SdfiMeeIing Some Swell People On Account of War BY JACK STINNETT WASHINGTON, Oct. 1--One of the few blessings of this war is that Uncle Sam is meeting some swell people in this world he hardly knew existed until now. One of the latest acquaintances and maybe: someday one of our best neighbors is that little fellow from down under—New Zealand You can find all the physical facts about New Zealand in any good encyclopedia, but that won't tell this story. First our military call on New Zea- land. Admiral Ghormiey, who bs d the Solomon Islands attack, had (and for all I know still does have) his headquarters there. Brig.-Gen Pat Hurley, one-time Secretary of War, is (among other things) Min- ister to New Zealand. From all reports, there is nowhere S. sailors and marines feel Honorable Peter Fraser ister of New Zealand, Washington, and if at home on Avenue as he is on the Auckland or Wellington, ting on a flawless act. When General Hurley recently in troduced Fraser at a luncheon, he said: “I have been asked many times what New Zealanders are like If you dropped down in a parachute there and the people came out to meet you, you wouldn't know that you weren't in Kalamazoo, Tulsa Okla., Dallas or Fort Worth. “¥You would notice only two dif- ferences. The New Zealanders have a slightly different accent and their coffee isn't the same. United States and New Zerjand coffee have two things ip common. They both are mace from the coffee bean and they both- are served in cup. There, all similarity ends.” Prime Min- is visiting fsn't he Pennsylvania of much streets he's put- a «Continued on Page Five) Kaiser agents planned to hire 20,000 New Yorkers and REDS BRING NEW TROOPS OVER VOLGA Stalin TelepITones Orders to Yield No More of Namesake City (By Associated Press) Backed up by a stream of rein- forcements across the Volga River and barrages of roving guns from the Volga flotilla, Russian infan- trymen under fresh telephoned or- ders from Stalin to yield no more, are reported crunching forward northwest and southwest of Stalin- grad. Dispatches to the Russian Army newspaper Red Star from Stalin- grad, frankly pictured it as “in the most decisive moment” of its trial, as an increasing weight of Axis troops and machines was thrown into the fight. Counter-offensive strokes on the wings of the constricted front, de- signed # wipe out or offset the new wedge driven in the northwest- ern flank, were made by fresh Ger- man infantry divisions. The Germans, however, seem un- able to deal a decisive blow. | At the same time, Volga boatmen are keeping communications open across the river and are bringing up Russlan reserves under the fierce German air attacks The Red Star said that 600 to a| (Continued on Fage Three) AID ON WAY T0 RELIEVE STALINGRAD Reuter's Dispatch Says Forces Coming from North Russia LONDON, Oct. 1.—~A Rcuter’s dispatch received late today via Stockholm says that Marshal Timeshenko's forces are battling to relieve Stalingrad and have broken through the German defense positon at some points along the Don River northwest of Stalingrad, laughter, Gordon, Rolfe; sac~- rifice hit: Mooy stolen bases: Riz- zuto.

Teams are traveling tomorrow (Friday). ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.—Stan Musial, |cara rookie left fielder, clipped a line single into center field in the eighth inning today to score Enis Slaughter from third and give the National Leaguers a 4 to 3 victory over the Yankees in the second game of the World Series. Keller had squared the count at 3-all for the Yankees with a two- run homer in the Yanks' half of the same inning. The huge crowd gathered at St. Louis had just been plunged into despondency by Keller's mighty wallop over the right field roof when Slaughter and Musial com-~ bined efforts to pull the game out of the fire. With two away, Slaughter banged a double into the right field corner and raced for third. Rizzuto, Yan- kee shortstop, let the throw trickle through him. Then Musial, whos failed to hit yesterday in the ninth inning with the bases loaded came through this time to send the crowd home happy. The victory was credited to 23- year-old Johnny Beazley, freshman Card hurler, and tied the classic with one win apiece. That leaves the two teams in a dead heat as they board trains for New York tonight. The third game will be played in Yankee Stadium on Saturday. (An inning-by-inning account will be published in the Empire). SEPTEMBER PRODUCTION NOTGOOD WASHINGTON, Oct. 1—Donald Nelson reported today that the munitions output of September was still “spotty.” indicating that the month's output of planes# tanks, ships and ordnance could not be closer to the goal than the August production record, which he de- scribed as not a record “we can brag about.” The WPB reported yesterday that allotments on materials for civilian economy will be stripped down to the absolute essentials in dividing up the nation's total supply among military and civilian claimants for the next three months. Nelson said, however, it probably will be “four or five months” be- fore the consumers will feet the offect, because considerable stocks of materials are in the hands of the manufacturers,”
