Miss Smith formerly was with the Territorial Treasurer’s Liquor Enforcement Division and before that with the Unemployment Compensation Commission. | D ALASKA EDUCATION COMMISSIONER 1S BACK FROM JOURNEY Territorial Commissioner of Ed- ucation Dr. James C. Ryan re- turned to Juneau last night after 'a trip of five weeks spent in car- rying out the Commissoner's an- nual inspection of schools to the north and westward. Dr. Ryan reported that although it has been difficult to secure teachers, all but two of the schools were able to open on sched- ule this year, although several of them are operating without their quotas fulfilled. Supplies, too, have somewhat hampered educational ef- forts. Dr. Ryan said a surprising fea- ture of his trip was to learn that practically all city schools he visit- ed have had increases in enroll- ments. He said this is apparently due to the fact that many fami- lies from outlying regions in Al- | aska have moved into cities. Dr. Ryan visited schools in Cor- dova, Valdez, Seward and vicinity, Anchorage and vicinity and Fair- banks and the surrounding region. area.

E. Swanson of Petersburg, o AL B to be free again. All Must Be Free Cate said that while it may not necessarily be our business to free France, we can’t stay free alone, that all countries must be free or the American dream will be lost. Cate, whose home is in Boston, is an old friend of Gov. Ernest | Gruening. He went to France in 1620 and left in December, 1940. He told of how the Germans be- gan preparations for war as early as 1927, pointing out that the Ger- {man Chemical Warfare Research | Division in Berlin then was work |ing 24 hours a day, and as early as 1926, a Berlin rea] estate man had told Cate that Germany was will- ing to take all of the twentieth century to fulfill the task of dom- inating the rest of the world. Skipping to 1935, Cate told of the growing strength of th€ Hitler Youth Movement, regiments of boys who were supposed to b€ learning agriculture, but who in reality were training seriously for war. America Included In the same year, he pointed out, the German propaganda office had a North American section il oper- ation, proof that Germany' knew that the divergent isms of the Nazi and American way of living would some day clash. The Nazis were pointing toward world dom- ination—and that included Amer- ica. Potential American friends <were listed in one set of files in the North American section of the pro- paganda office, and potential ene- mies in another file. Cate also spoke of the powerful (ifth column movement in France, made up mostly of German-minded residents from the Alsace-Lorraine an ammunition train was Heinrichs Is Named | Cordova Postmaster WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Presi- | dent Roosevelt today nominated Hollis Heinrichs to be postmaster | at Cordova, Alaska. — - GOING OUT TO SCHOOL | Richard C.
