In areas where such schools are not maintained, no child should be turned away from a Territorial school in the sz\mo! area.

Miller, speaking at a luncheon of the Muncipal League, declared that the next great naval battle was to be fought in the Straits of Juan de Fuca for the Puget Sound country which he asserted was the poorest defended on the Pacific Coast. The Congressman strongly urged establishment of a naval base and coal station on the Aleutians as an outpost against attack from the Orient. How they overpowered armed Russian guards who had been sta- tioned on their vessel after it had been seized at Anadir, Siberia, by Russian Reds, and sailed out of the harbor in the teeth of a gale and battled their way through the ice floes in a heavy fog towards the Alaskan coast, was related in Seattle by members of the crew of the power schooner Iskum, which had arrived in port at Seattle. U. S. Marshal George D. Beaumont was to leave Juneau on the steamer Aldska for the States. He was expected to return in a short time by way of Hyder on official business Bart L. Thane, Richard Wulzen and Robert Semple, representing the Alaska Gastineau, and G. Ishakawa and J. Tomito, Japanese engineers, lwho had been investigating conditions for pulp, paper and ammonium | sulphate manufacturing at Juneau, were to leave on the Princess Alice {for the South. ‘ A city force was to start laying a new sidewalk on Main Street from The Empire to the cable office.

It is probably the greatest lend- lease operation on record. The plan was to have the Red Army ride to victory on tires made by U. S. machinery. This operation was carried through despite the opposition of Rubber Administrator Big Bill Jeffers, who found after he first came to Wash- ington that the deal already had been made. He declared, however, that our own synthetic rubber pro- gram would require all the tire manufacturing capacity the country has ever had—and more—and that a whole plant should not be carried off to another country. Lend-Lease argued that the U. S. rubber shortage made the Ford plant that it would not view of the new synthetic rubber. ; Jeffers even carried the question directly to the President. But FDR told him that a commitment had be idle long, in production of been made, and a protocol ltrea_\yy | been drawn up with Russia by which | the tire plant was promised in writing.

Incidentaally, the tire-plant program is being paid for by the industry, involves no cost to the government. MERRY-GO-ROUND { There was a very important hush- hush discussion inside the Demo- cratic National Committee regard- ing the recent meeting of Young Democratic leaders in Chicago. Real fact was that the President and Frank Walker didn't want the Young Dems to meet, felt that a political meeting of this kind was not in keeping with the war, also that the Young Demos would be sure to run up against the unan- swered but all-important question: Crossword Puzzle | ACROSS | 1.
