The Treadwell emergency hospital, in charge of Mrs. George Getchell, was closed the previous night by the company and, until further notice, all injured or ill were to have treatment in Juneau. Medical attention for the company men and their families was to continue to be administ- ered by Dr. W. J. Pigg, physician for the company. Miss Helen Kelso, former teacher in the Juneau Public Schools, who had been visiting for several months in Juneau, left for the South on the Admiral Watson. John G. Brady, U. S. Forest Service official with headquarters in Anchorage, returned from Sitka where he spent the Christmas holidays and expected to leave for the Westward on the next steamer.

Looking back over the year, we can't overlook the fact that regardless of red tape, confusion, bu- rean building and other things, America is no longer loging the war in the Pacific. The Japs have made no important advances on any front for the last six months. We have started on the long, tough road back. The enemy had started on December 7, 1841, from Indo-China. The Japs needed only five days ' in which to conquer Thailand, five for Guam, 14 for | Wake, 54 for Malta, two weeks for Singapore, three months for the Dutch East Indies.

Martin shot back that these were war times, also that the Republi- ;can party would have to abide by any new committee arrangements, arrived at now, if it regained con- |u'ol of the House in future years. | Martin added that there were a | number of second-term GOP House members not on major committees, such as Foreign Affairs, Naval Af- fairs and Military Affairs, Many first and second-term Democrats were grabbing off these choice spots, Martin pointed out, and he said it was high time the Republi- cans were getting recognition. After an hour and a half of i futile haggling, Rayburn prevailed on Martin to meet again with him and McCormack after the opening of the new Congress.
