BIG CHIEF IS NAMED FOR AIR FORCES Sir Arthur ngder Next in " Command Under Eisenhower LONDON, Dec. 28—In a move that clearly foreshadows the mighty role that power will play in the main invasion of Europe, Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder, Great Britain’s master air strategist, has been appointed Deputy to Supreme Commander Eisenhower of the Al- lied Invasion Armies. The selection of Tedder, who cleared North Africa's skies of Ger- man air forces, and directed the air ons of Sicily and Italy, has the approval of London. The appointment is regarded as assuring of the building of great air strength to gain new momentum. Gen. Sir Bernard Paget, who \AUIHORITIES 10 NOW BEAR DOWN ON DISORDER[IES Inez lvhmon nnd Hazel Coffin, turned over to the United States Marshal's Office by the City Police on charges of disorderly conduct, | were sentenced to six months in the F‘odmal Jail by U.

At Walla, Washington, they attend=g the annual executives com:aittee meeting of the North Facific Union Conference of Seventh-Day Adven- tists. Here the mission superintend- ent presented the annual report of the Aiaska Diocese and the 1944 operating budget. 1 ‘The report showed splendid pro- gress and the budget for the coming year amounting to over $65,000 was passed. This is by far the largesi budget voted for mission operation in the history of the Alaska Mis- sion. This sum included expendi- tures in the operation of the Mal- anuska Valley Hospital which the Seventh-Day Adventist mission has been operating the past year. Mr. David Hoehn, medical direc- tor of the hospital accompanied Pastor and Mrs. Wood to coufe ence committee meetings and r ported marked success in the gper- ation of the hospital for the first year, in spite of the shortage of nurses throughout the country.

TROOPS IN {ENGLAND, Dec. 28.—In the biggest { war maneuvers ever held, thousands | of rough and tough battle-eager | young American soldiers are getting | practical training day and night for | the forthcoming invasion of western Europe. Naval forces, all kinds of army units including amphibious infantry, armored, and air forces, engineers, and supply outfits are participating in this massive dress rehearsal. The operations extend over a desolate stretch of coast and for miles inland. | The exercises are much more ad- vanced than war games in the Unit- ed States. As in actual invasion, troops and tanks stream ashore under live gunfire, and defending groups troops and planes are simu- | lating conditions under which Am- ericans will one day meet the Ger- mans. Casualties naturally result’ from | these operations. Members of an amphibious forces were drowned when a flat bottomed tank landing craft upset in a 20-foot waves in attempting to reach the shore. The waves were so high the drivers of | the ducks were unable to see where they were going except on the crest | of a wave. ———.——— PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY Have a portralt artist take your picture, Hamersley Studio.
