NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Blde., Seattle, Wash, Since March, 1941, the producuon lines of this country have turned out 150,000 airplanes. We have retained 122,000 of them for our own use and have sent 28,000, three-fourths of them combat types, to the air forces of our Allies. The implications of this production miracle, announced recently by Foreign Economic Administrator Leo Crowley, will scarcely be | lost upon our enemies, whose productivity in planes has been dwindling. Here is a literal realization of the goal of 50,000 planes a year which seemed fantastic when President Roosevelt set it for America three years ago. Here is a measure of fulfillment of the pledge that we would serve as the arsenal of democracy. It doesn’t much matter whether these planes are [ flown by Englishmen, Russians, Chinese or Amer- icans. They serve the same purpore in any hands. l month in advance. Most, but by no means all, of those that went to our Allies were shipped under lend-lease. About 7,000 of them were paid for in cash by foreign purchasers, principally the British, before the Lend-Lease Act came into operation. And it is worth remembering that when these planes were ordered the American aireraft industry was in its infancy. It could not have reached its present stature had it not been for the timulus to production it gained from these orders placed back in the desperate days of 1940 and 1941. They laid the foundation for American rearmament. It should be remembered, too, that the British and the Russians produce, themselves, most of the planes they are using in this war. Add their pro- ductivity to ours and you have a power which canmot fail to overwhelm the Axis. Over Berlin, on Russia’s eastern front, in Italy, in the South and Southwest Pacific, inside China, the combined air forces of the United Nations are whittling down the enemy'’s strength, destroying the means by which it can be replenished. We are entitled to pride over our share in this achievement. But pride ought not obscure the fact that it has been a joint achievement, product of united and coordinated effort. a (Cincinnati Enquirer) The recent revelation by the President that the Italian Fleet will be divided equally between Britain, Russia and the United States brings up some inter- esting speculation. It is, of course, an indication that the cooperation between the powers is as close—per- haps closer—than it ever has been before. Russia played no part in the Italian victory, but as a member of the three great powers she has a right to share in it since the surrender was to the Soviet as well as Britain and America. The announcement, however, has set us wonder- ing as to what use the Russians will make of the new fleet units. There are several possibilties, of course. She may take over the Murmansk convoys, thus free- ing British and American ships for fighting duty. She may attempt to make an agreement with Turkey, under which the new fleet could pass through the Dardanelles and into the Black Sea—where, right now, | they would of inestimable value to the Russian fight against Germany. ‘There are other places to which the fighting craft might be sent. The Baltic, for instance, provided they can get there. Or they might be used with British and United States ships, in staging the in- vasion of Europe from the west. Then there’s Vladivostok, over on Russia’s east- ernmost coast. It's an important port, in a highly important part of the world . Should some of the Italian battle wagons be sent to those waters, waves (lmy would stir might rock the world. day.

The other day, Rankin got off another of his many speeches, In it, he tore the hide off Baruch regard- ing war contracts, claiming that, vi} 1921, Baruch single-handed had up- set the entire stock market. 1 Newsmen later got Baruch on the phone and asked him to comment.

All meals and liquid refreshments on trains (though not itemized as such) also are charged to the Gov- ernment. Anything goes under a cost-plus contract. The War and Navy Departments also follow the war contractors’ sys- tem. The railroads now have a standing order to reserve 50 per- cent of their Pullman space one month in advance for service people traveling on war business. Between the war contractors and service travelers, Congressional in- vestigators who have to travel out of town on short notice frequently are up against it. Not long ago, Representative Ed Izac of Califor- ia tried to get 10-day advance re- ervations for a Naval Affairs sub- committee, but couldn’t. When he complained to railroad officials, he was told: “Sorry, Congressman, but two big industrial concerns cleaned |us out several weeks ago.” (Copyright, 1944 by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.). —— . homa's recent special electio Oilman Moore led the Republican‘ fight for candidate E.

All planes reached Prince Rupert .n the afternoon, the Boston being the first to reach there at 4:5¢ Yeloek. The flagship Seattle, with Major Martin aboard, commanding the fliers, was damaged in landing at 5:35 o’clock, two struts being broker when the pontdons smashed into the water and made a quick stop. The Sther planes landed safely. With a record of 262,000 tons of ore mined in March, the largest by considerable margin cver produced, the Alaska Juneau Mine was rapidly proceeding to further increase its cutput. Of the 262,000 tons mined in March, 114,000 tons wére milled and the balance, 148,000 tons, was dis- carded on the waste dump in Gastineau Channel. William Carlson and J. L. Carlson were to operate their salmon traps this year but were not to can any fish at their Auk Bay piant, according to announcement. They planned to sell their fish to other salmon packers. | | The previous evening at 8:30 o'clock, Miss Mary Gertrude Halm and ‘\Lr Hatry Sperling were married at the home of the bride's parents, | Mr. and Mrs. Matt Halm on East Street. The ceremony was performed | by Judge V. A. Paine and attendants were Miss Goldie Halm and Mr. | James Morrison. Mrs. Hdlm, popular in musical circles here, was pianist | for the Coliseum Orchestra and Mr. Sperling was Purchasiily Agent for he Forest Service. Just after the wedding was performed a fire gong sounded and the fire department staged a run to the Halm residence and kidnapped the bride and groom for a ride around town. The couple had taken the Sam Feldon house on First Street. Weather report: High, 37; low, 34; clear.
