AIR PRISONERS IN GERMANY | The fate of American fliers in the Doolittle raid has raised lh‘,“[ question: What happens to airmen | who go down over Europe? Here is the answer from an officer of the U. S. bomber command in England. If fliers bail out and get down safely - over France, Belgium or occupied Europe, their chances of getting bgck to Englagd are pretty good. They become prisoners of war, but in the course of exchansing maners, they may soon get back to base. If they bail out over Germuny there’s not much chance of zet- ting back. But so far as we know, the). tréatment of air prisoners is s&mh w that of other prisoners, aud. varies' according to rank. ‘ There is one incident, however, that damns the German record— the story of Paddy Finucane. Most | people suppose that the famous RAF ace lost his life because his Spitfire crashed into the channel after being hit over France. The truth is—though this hah jand they are obliged to pass tests in pistol fire once a month. 'On 'the firing range in the Treasury | Building, these Secret Service op- eratives are put through several types of pistol practice. One is the slow fire, for accu- racy rather than. speed. Another is “time fire,” in which all five shots must be discharged at the v.mgcz within ten seconds. Timing includes a test of speed from the holster to the moment of striking the target; in other words, draw and fire, Another test is to hit a moving target.

FRENCH JOIN BRITISH The Nazis have threatened to |stop French fishing boats from op- " |erating off the Atlantic coast near Gibraltar, because of the large inumber- of crew desertions to the British.

He was on his way South to purchase equipment | for the new structure. Col James G. Steese, President of the Alaska Road Commission, and Capt. A. P. Agnew, returned to their headquarters in Juneau on the Estebeth on which they had made a trip to Sitka on official business. Pronounced one of the most beautiful dances of the year, the Leg- islative Ball took place April 28 at the A. B. Hall. Dancing began at 10 o'clock when Gov. and Mrs. Scott C. Bone led the grand march, and continued until early in the morning. One of the largest crowds ever assembled at a social function on the Channel attended the charming dance and all remained throughout the entire evening. The beautiful formal gowns worn by the women enhanced the effect of the effective decorations and an atmosphere of gaity and friendliness prevailed. H. T. Tripp, 33rd Degree, Deputy of the Supreme Council, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Eree Masonry, left Junecau on the Admiral Evans on a tour of the Westward and Interior towns on Masonic busi- ness. He was accompanied by his son C. K. Tripp and planned to go down the Yukon River from Fairbanks to St. Michael and Nome. Miss Bess O'Neill arrived in Juneau on the steamer Queen to take up her duties as assistant in the office of the fiscal agent, U. S. Forest Service. Miss O'Neill had been transferred from the Forest Service office at Ogden, Utah. C. W. Perelle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Perelle, of Juneau, ar- | rived on the Admiral Evans from Seattle and was to leave on the Estebeth for Sitka, where he was to join the Dahlquist survey party doing work in that area for the General Land Office. Weather was fair with a maximum temperature of 40 and a mini- mum of 39. \ Daily LeSséns, éfi‘EflgliSh ¥.
