CARLLLOMEN | REPORTSNOME HAS BUSY YEAR Both mining and commercial | companies in the vicinity of Nome,| Alaska have had a successful and active season according to Carl J.| Lomen, chairman of the Lomen} Commercial Company who arrived late yesterday from the company headquarters at Nome. i Mr. Lomen is staying at the Bar- anof Hotel while waiting for trans- portation to Seattle where he will be in the company office during the winter. Mrs. Lomen, who has: been visiting her father, former Congress- man Andrew Volstead, in Minnesota | during her husband’s absence in the north arrived in Seattle yesterday to meet Mr. Lomen. | Ralph Lomen, who has represented the family company in Fairbanks as Alaska representative of the Allis- Chalmers Company and the Chicago Pneumatic Tube Company during the last summer, expects to leave in the near future for Seattle as does| Alfred Lomen, who heads the com- | pany activities in Nome. | The Lomen brothers have been! among the most prominent residents of the Second Division for many years and both Alfred and Ralph are well known in Juneau as former members of the Territorial Legisla- ture. The recent decision to stop all gold mining operations for the dur~ ation will of course, affect all min- ing activities in the Nome district where mining has been very succes- sful during recent years. However the operators all expect to resume mining as soon as is possible, accord- ing to Mr. Lomen. DR. HAYS LEAVES ON SITKA TRIP Dr. George A.

The announcement was made in the 1orm of a communique widely circulated by the Tass Agency, con- taining the reply of Soviet Foreign Commissar Molotov to a ten-month- old communication from a number of European governments in exile. British official circles were star- tled by this entirely new conception of international retribution. In Lon- don there were expressions of fear that action along the line suggested by Russia would bring wholesale re- taliation against Allied nationals | now in German hands. Already the Germans have initiated the mass shackling of prisoners of war. A Foreign Office attache, while saying that “Hess, of course,” is considered vulnerable to Allied plans for indictment of war criminals, re- marked pointedly that the former deputy fuehrer made his parachute aescent in Scotland on May 10, 1941.‘ more than a month before Germany attacked Russia. e GOVERNOR BACK; MISSES FLIGHT OVER JAP CAMP Has Been on Tour Organ- izing Alaska Terri- torial Guard Gov. Ernest Gruening returned to Juneau late yesterday after an ex- tended trip throughout most of Al- aska, during which he went as far northwest as St. Lawrence Island, and as far west as further than our most westward base in the Andre- anof Islands. The trip was mainly for the pur- pose of carrying out organizational duties for the Alaska Territorial Guard, of which the Governor is Commander-inChief. Alaska's Chief Executive also made a tour of the Aleutian area and started out in an Army bomber for a flight over Kiska Rad weather forced the flight back, however, just new Aleutian offensive by Alaskan forces and said that the campaign is progressing very satisfactorily. Medal for Senator Is Proposed; He Is Great Fighter Against Odds (Continued from Page One) undoubtedly bore some fruit in the 82-to-0 vote by which is bill was finally passed. In that long Thursday afternoon session, Brown didn't smile once. Even after adjournment, his face was. clouded until in the halls a weather- beaten man walked up to him and grasped his hand. ‘;Senator, I'm a farmer, an Indiana corn and hog farmer, and by God I'm for you.” It was then that Brown smiled Brown came to the Senate in 1936. He had served two terms in the House, before he ran for the Senate . He had been the Mackinac County prosecutor for 12 years. He had interests in banking and lake shipping. Both in the House and Senate, he has been a quiet, genial fellow, given to hard work (he's a member of six committees and Chairman of the Committee on Claims). The anti-inflation measure is un- doubtedly the most important piece of legislation he has sponsored. His handling of it proved his years here haven't been wasted. ————————— Use of fuel oil for locomotive power is confined almost exclu- sively to railroads in the West. jernment calling for immediate trial | (5 pe scores of others pillaging on |and punishment of any German | the high seas in all waters.” Alexander said some of the sink- ings were done when attacks were made on United States forces but the figures do not include those accomplished by Russian sea forces.
