THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE VOL. XLIL, NO. 9781 “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” : ———— JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1944 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENT§ ————n NEW BLASTING IS GIVEN TO REICHLAND RIGA FALLS TOPOWERFUL RED ARMIES Latvian Cam Last Great City on Baltic Taken from Germans MOSCOW, Oct. 14—The fall of Riga, Latvian capital, the last great | city on the Baltic, captured from the Germans( has thus released two powerful Red Armies for the thrust southward towards East Prussia. Announcement of the capture of Riga, city with a population of 385,000, was angounced tonight. The troops, Yeremenko’s Second Baltic Army and Maslennikov's Third Baltic Army, made the cap- ture. The Soviet drive on Hungary now may be compared with opera- | tions last year in Italy, during which time Montgomery’s British | Eighth Army marched up the| Italian Peninsula, six days after| crossing the Messina Strait.

The response was quick and generous. At the suggestion of Linn Forrest, President of the Association, the meeting unanimously approved the| allocation to the War Fund of $25 from the Student Body fund. This was not all, however, for the reso- lution provided that the gift was being made “in honor of our two Gold Star Servicemen, Jacob Britt| and LeRoy Vestal.” | “These young people,” commented | Mr. Fletcher, “certainly have dem- | onstrated a perfect understanding | of the true significance of this drive.

This is the second raid on Cologne in less than 18 hours. The German industrial city is less than 40 miles east of Aachen, on the road to Ber- lin. British Mosquitos gave it a softening up blow last night.

Lt BATON ROUGE, La.—Through uncensored diplomatic sources, the inside story of the fall of the Tojo cabinet has just been received. It indicates the increasing diffcultes the Japs have been experiencing.; Also it indicates more and more| friction between the Jap war lords and the Jap merchant princes, both now jockeying for power. To some extent the row inside Japan has had its parallel in the feud between the U. 8. Army and Navy and certain $l-a-year men in the War Production Board. News is so censored out of Japan that the true picture is hard to get. But, according to this authentic report, Admiral Tojo's overthrow as premier resulted not only from military defeat but from his in- ability to control the giant Jap cartels—Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumi- tomo and Yasuda. These firms were founded by the merchant princes of Japan after Admiral Perry opened Japan's doors to the out- side world, in 1854. They own ship- yards, steel plants, munitions fac- tories, steamship lines, department stores—almost every major indus- try in Nippon. About three months before Pearl Harbor, Japan formed the “New Economic Structure.” Most U. 8. and British commentators got the (Continued on Page Four) |end of December. materials will permit their conver-| sion.
