NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Building, Seattle, Wash. _— ATHE’\I ATICS Raynond B. Fosdick, president of the Rockefeller | Foundation, discloses in a recent report that America | may be destined to become the mathematical capital of the world Warring nations, with the disruptive effects of war, never have proved themselves capable of fur- nishing fertile ground for the development of the higher sciences. And it seems natural that the Unit- ed States, a young country but one old enough to prove its sincere aim to bring about a peaceful world, should become the natural home of culture, Back in 1926, the International Education Board, | founded by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., made an ap- propriation of $275,000 to the University of Gottingen in Germany to build and equip a Mathematical | Institute. For many decades, Gottingen had been an im- portant center for mathematicsm but the first World War left it impoverished. The new funds in_ 1926 helped it not only to add to its physical facilities for mathematical research, but to strengthen its already brilliant faculty. So, in a few years, Gottingen became the world’s physics, and students aniwd in increasing numbers from all over the world. | Then the Nazi regime took over. The Jews on the faculty weres thrown out, and most of their colleagues of Ayran stock, shocked by this intolerance and unable to live in the stifling |intellectual atmosphere, resigned. By 1939, only one of the original faculty re- mained. Most of the others came to this country. In view of the past few years, it is indeed ironic ithat this German institution was brought to matur- {ity through the use of American funds. But an |even deeper irony lies in the fact that the blind fanaticism of the Nazis succeeded in driving to America, a nation which the new German regime knew it would meet in war, many of the worlds {leading mathematicians. These men are now serving the United States in ‘nx great war effort as teachers, researchers and con- 'smmnts in many important posts. | Says Fosdick, “To assist Hitler in the develop- ment of America as a. great mathematical center, | the Rockefeller Foundation has made a number of grants over the last few years.” There is indeed a universal feature about intol- |erance—it reacts on those who practice 'it. Liberal Tears Aid Hitler (Philadelphia Record) In a strange mixture of military and moral ar- gument, two British liberal weeklies have attacked American daylight bombings of occupied European | countries. The military argument, lack of precision in the |secret American bombsight, appears as often in the imcnths of Britons who don't like Americans as Ire- land does in the months of Americans who don’t ‘hke Britain. We can leave it to technical experts. But the argument that we are needlessly killing cmzom of occupied countries is something else again. {It goes far beyond the importance of either the New | ‘Stal.esman and Nation or the Weekly Tribune, the | two papers that have been sounding off. | Willlam L. Shirer in Sunday's Record showed ithat the Nazi propaganda machine is moving in ex- |actly this direction—stirring up resentment against Americans and British for the bombings now being | carried out. Moreover, Shirer warned, the campaign is having lan effect. He pointed out that last week a com- | mittee of seven Britons petitioned the British Gov- lernment to “stop bombings civillans in Europe.” Nobody wants to see French or Dutch or Bel- | gian civilians killed. Nobody, either, wants to see | | French or Dutch or Belgians starve because of the blockade against Germany. But it's impossible to bomb military objectives | ;wilhout killing innocent men and women no matter 'how accurate' the bombsight—and it's impossible to blockade Germany without blockading occupied countries. Our strategists have decided on the blockade as a weapon, and on around-the-clock bombing of Ger- many and the occupied countries as a weapon. That innocent people get hurt is part of the inevitable horror of war, and part of the price of our final | chief center for advanced study in mathematics and,lvicwrysand theirs. ———e s"o.-mmn | lhen the meeting |and Navy chiefta; nest King, Chief (Continued trom Page One) |marine menace within four to six soul in this hour of peril,” one day. “I am that soul.” | At his conversational best, the President gesticulated dramatically | |umt recipe from your brother.” There was a howl at this, !a discussion of the war |tons, predicted that the Nazi sub- he samwume we would have a large num- .bnr of esccrt vessels for convoys. |usher there before, tne war, sir.” and | Gen.

He| was one of the toughest, !Wc-flsledi fighters I have ever met. Now,| General, what I would like to know | is this—how can you be Joan of | Arc one day and Clemenceau thel H next?” | Lest some of his listeners might | I get the wrong impression from h&si fun-poking at DeGaulle, the Presi- that “lib- dent added in serious vein he was interested only in the eration” of France, and would not| 3 until the French people are; rfl jeved of the Nazi yoke.

CORN LIKKER Beer flowed freely at the White House meeting and large quantities | of crackers and cheese were con- | sumed. The President kept a glass of beer at his. side from which he sipped moderately. When some- one jokingly referred to his ‘“ca- pacity,” he remarked.with a grin that .he had no doubt developed it in Georgia during Prohibition days. There was a knack to getting good corn liquor in Georgia, the President recalled. The. sheriff al- ways sold the best stuff. However, even this was sometimes too potent | to be taken straight. “J had a recipe for mixing two | kinds of corn liquor together in a cocktail,” Roosevelt = grinned. "It wasn’'t so bad that way.” Turning to Representative Sidney Camp of Georgia, he added: | P-40s, 187 | »xperience ROXY'S FLIGHTING 'COLORS ‘lntev'msed' afnana VR B Gen. Henry H.

Foster, member of the Territorial House of Representa- tives, was. elected City Attorney of Cordova by the newly-elected City Coungcil. Other officers chosen were K. G. Robinson, Municipal Magistrate and City Clerk and Dr. W. W. Council, Health Officer. B. F. Heinztleman, Assistant Supervisor for the U. S. Forest Service, was to leave Juneau on the Forest Service boat Weepoose for Takatz Bay, on the west side of Baranof Island, to make a survey of a water power site. He planned to be away about ten days. Sawyer-Reynolds Company, loggers, had purehased 1,700,000 hoard feet of Sitka spruce and western hemlock on Kosciusko Island from the U. S. Forest Service, according to an announcement made by officials of the Forest Service. Work of cutting the timber was to begin at once and the logs were to be milled at the Juneau Lumber Company. Mrs. John Mills, of Douglas, was surprised at her home the previous evening by a number of her friends to honor her birthday. About 15 |women were present and cards played for pastime, prize winners being Mrs. G. Grundler, Mrs. O. Swanson and Mrs. Guy Smith. The women presented Mrs. Mills with a lovely nugget and ivory pin as a reminder of the event. The Elks' Hall had been converted into a spring garden scene with pink and white blossoms, a silvery moon and a refreshment booth banked with chrysanthemums and greens, in preparation for the May Day Dance to be held in the evening by the American Legion Auxiliary. In accord- ance with the atmosphere of spring, the dance was to be informal, with On the committee in charge were Mrs. Scott C. Bone, Mrs. Anna Winn, Mrs. Harrlet L. Nordling, Mrs. Charles Goldstein, Mrs. C. J. Skuse, Mrs. H. R. Shepard, Mrs. C. V. Westlake and Mrs. Robert Simpson. Attractions at the theatres were Agnes Ayres and Conrad Nagel in “The Ordeal” at the Coliseum and “Orphans of the Storm” at the | Palace. Weather was cloudy with a maximum temperature of 52 and a minimum of 46.
