Alaska Juneau
Mine Case Draws
Attention of WLB
The National War Labor Board
is being asked today to take “ap
propriate action” in the dispute
case of the Alaska Juneau Gold
Mining Company, as a result of
| a resolution passed yesterday by
the 12th Regional War Labor
Board in an executive |ession,
Dr. George Bernard Noble, board
chairman, disclosed today.
The board informed the na
tional board its previous actions
in the case had been according
to proper procedure. It was de
cided that the issue of retroac
tive pay, which the company in
sisted last week was not proper
ly before the board, was a part of
the wage dispute issue, and was
within the board’s jurisdiction.
Records on the case have been
dispatched to Washington, which
outline the regional board’s prior
actions.
The company closed the mining
operation after the regional board,
had awarded a common labor
wage rate of 90 cents and other
rates in proportion. According to
the majority opinion, even after
the award, the wage rate was
still below the common labor
rate of 97 cents in Alaska. The
issue of retroactive pay then had
to be settled, the company con
tending the case was closed si
multaneously with the closure of
■ the mine. The union contends
money for time worked from the
expiration date of the last con
tract to the closing of the mine is
still due the men. The expiration
. date was May 1, 1943. The par
ties were agreed on all issues ex
cept wages—which issue was re
ferred to the 12th Regional War
Labor Board.
A spokesman for the board
said, “This may turn out to be
a test case. If it goes ihrough the
courts, it could result in liens be
ing placed against the company.
The mine has shut down and re
opened several times in its his
tory as is not uncommon in mine
operations, and may reopen
again.”
NEW PASSES ARE
TO BE ISSUED
Major Phillips, public relations
officer, announced today that all
persons who wish passes to the
various areas, present themselves
at the Travel Control Bureau,
in the rear of the M. P. Station,
for the purpose of being photo
graphed.

Nugget.

New Fighter
’uTfige Widens
Invasion Threat
AP Features
LONDON — Despite a greatly
increased range of invasion due to
the development of new long
range American fighter planes,
the Allies have vir'ually no hone
of achieving a comnle'e strate
gic surprise in opening the
Western Front.
There is no chance to achieve
such a mil tarv advantage as was
obtained in North Africa when
'he Germans were caught flat
footed.
Two years ago Norih Africa,
Norway, France, the Balkans,
Italy were open for assault. To
day any new blow must come
from the west.
*t hasi become an axiom of
modern warfare that any large
scale invasion, requiring days
and weeks of steady fighting,
must have the support of land
based fighter craft. Thus the
possible points of any major
thrust are limited to ‘he fighter
range of Allied aircraft based in
Britain.
A few months ago this was lit
tle more than 100 miles. Then
came the Salerno landing, sup
posed by fighters based 250
miles away. Within the past
two weeks, American P-51’s and
P-38’s have flown atad fought
over Berlin 600 miles from Eng
land.
This new fighter range places
all of the western coastline of
Europe from Denmark to Spain
within invasion range.
Bu* behind the European westj
wall built by the Germans is a
vast, efficient network of rail
roads and highways. As proven
in Italy no amount of bombing
' can wholly block these arteries.
Then too, the Germans can
eliminate large sections as un
suitable for possible landings be
cause of cliffs, unfavorable tides
or bad beaches. By placing mo
bile armies at key points, the
Nazis can plug almost any point
in this west wall quickly.
What the Allies can achieve is
a tactical surprise.
The Germans will not know at
where or when the heaviest blow
will come. They will have to
wai* until the main effort devel
ops and then it may be too late.

The Germans are certain to be
able to move men faster by land
than the Allies can by sea. In 'he
initial stages they will enjoy a
superiority in land forces. The
Allies, however, will have sea
and air superiority.
Granting that ‘here cannot be
any degree of strategic surprise
the success or failure of the in
vasion then will depend on men
and material.

CANT BE PULLED
PINE BEACH, N. J — <APi —
The innate modesty of Adm ral
Chester Nimitz was revealed in a
World War I anecdote by Ad
miral S. S. Robison, U. S. N Ret.
now superintendent of the Ad
miral Farragut Academy here,
but then Nimitz- boss as com
mander of the Atlantic submarine
forces.
English officers tr.ed to pull one
of the Nimitz. sea legs by giving
him a workout on an attack train
er. Says Robison, the device, then
brand new, involved figuring out
"he target ship's course and speed
and. after three observations, fir
ing a torpedo.
N mitz emerged from the test,
perspiration streaming down his
lace. ‘ I wouldn't do that again
for a thousand dollars,” he said.
The joshing English officers
i,vere astounded to find tyimitz had
-nade a hit on his first try.
