He outlines seven rules for the practical application of this fundamental proposition, as practiced within own famous Eighth Army General Montgomery regards the air force as an his MEMBER OF ASSGCIATED PRESS The Assoctated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- wise credited in this paper and also the local news published berein.

But he also regards it as an interdependent weapon which must depend on the army for good landing grounds. The army is, in turn, dependent on the air force for both the pre- liminary defeat of the enemy air force and for direct bombing of enemy positions during the actual battle “You must win the air battle before you fight a land or sea battle,” he says, and he adds that “the afr aspect dominates the plan of operations.” But, as is also being emphasized in Washington, it is the infantry ch must decide the victory and n and hold the ground won. For that reason, says General Mont- gomery, the air force and the ground force must be knitted into one sinble entity. Their commanders must be in the same headquarters, and there must, be complete trust and confidence between them. ‘They must be very great friends.” That sounds like a sensible proposition. General Montgomery does not speak of the strategic air force for long-range bombing, such as is now being inflicted on Germany. Nor does he speak of the navy, which is an integral part of the amphibious operations that | play so large a role in Allied warfare. But the prin- | ciples he outlines apply to all. They allot the greatest NEW RECORDS SET An indication of the tremendous scale on which | United States is moving essential war cargo and | the personnel by air to the four corners of the globe is | evidenced in the preliminary estimates of Pan Amer- | ican Airways for the year 1943 Onc Pan American div nine times as many Atlantic crossings for the Army's Air Transport Command in 1943 than the entire Pan | American System had made prior to Pearl Harbor.

HEART AND HOME: Extremes| of human experience will be evi- dent through wartime. While many families suffer bereavements, others appear happy and untouched by world conflict. A few may realize long-deferred hopes. | BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Architects| and builders, engineers and con-| tractors are to have a postwar per- jod of unprecedented prosperity. They should begin now to plan for the rebuilding of foreign cities as well as the improvement of our own| big centers of population. NATIONAL ISSUES: Subversive gencies will subtly introduce peace | propaganda into women’s clubs, church congregations and business | organizations. Weak-minded pa-| triots will be easily won.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: With the| war in its most critical phases, re- conversion of war industries will start this year.

IF IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your business and financial inter- ests should be fortunate but love% affairs may be disappointing in the coming year.

The herring pack on Cook Inlet during the previous three months’ run had been a large and good one, according to R. E. MeIver, Alaskan Manager of the B. Bortz Company, herring packers. Five thousand barrels of herring had already been shipped South from the plant and 900 barrels were to be shipped South on the next trip of the North- western, which would clean up the large pack. Approximately 60,000 pounds of halibut were sold here this day by 12 vessels of the local fishing fleet to local buyers, the Juneau Cold Storage Company, purchasing for the San Juan Packing Company, and Sam Morris for the Sebastian-Stuart Company. Both buyers paid 13 cents and nine cents. The fish was to be shipped South on the steamer Victoria.
