nurse examining
BOARD APPOINTED
The first Territorial Nurses’
Examining Board, created by the
Alaska Legislature, this spring,
was named by Gov. Ernest Gruen
ing.
Three nurses from as many Al
aska towns were named on the
new board. From Juneau, the
board- members is Mrs. Lola Wal
tifrer. She will work with Mrs.
Helen Hendricks of Ketchikan
1 .:ss Margaret Durm.gan, of
Fairbanks.
Ike new law, which provides
a system of registering nurses
who wish to practice in Alaska
and prohibiting any persons from
nursing as a registered nurse un
less he or she meets Territorial
qaulifications, ’is contained in
Chapter 46 of the 1941 Session
Laws of Alaska. It was approved
by Gov. Gruening on March 27.
The Governor also named four
men to serve on the Alaska Aero
nautics and Communications
Commission. Only new member
of the board will be William L.
Lavery, of Fairbanks, who re
places Jce Crosson, now in Seat
tle and no longer a resident of
Alaska.
Re-appointed to the Aeronau
tics and Communications Board
were Sheldon Simmons, of Ju
neau; John M. Cross, of Deering,
and Thcmas M. Donohoe, of An
chorage.

JAPAN POISED FOR THRUSTS
Black arrows indicate points where Japan’s armed forces were
poised for thrusts that could take them north orsoiyth. The pres
ence ofl7 divisions in Manchoukuo provided new threats to Rus
sia’s maritime province armies. From occupied Indo-China, light
ning thrusts were possible against Thailand, Singapore and the
Dutch East Indies. The nomination of Douglas MacArthur, mean
time, to head a United States army in the Far East made Manila
wore important in a defense setup.
Key Industrial
Areas of Soviet
Far from Nazis
N?z; forces thrustin? s''|es’
^ea^s 'nto Soviet Russia are not

ha hue? indus‘rial plants, steel

‘ors of the USSR J. D. Littl°
”fe. manager ,0{ the Chichagof!
M'"e told The Fmnire recently,
as he stopn'd of! in Juneau on a
business trip.
Littlepage was a mining oper
ator in the Soviet for 10 years
and is familiar with the country
over which much of the fighting
is now reported. He is the author
of “Russian Gold,” one of the
outstanding boks on Soviet Min
ing properties.
“So far,” Littlepage stated,
“country where the fighting is
going forward is of no industrial
importance, so far as supplying
the Russian fighting forces are
concerned.” '*
Iron Mines Safe
The important iron mines of
Krivoi-rog are 150 miles south
east of Kiev, Littlepage pointed
out, and the aluminum produc
tion center of Dneiper-P'etrovsk,
where federal a'loy plants are
located, are 200 miles from Kiev
in the same direction. Likewise,
the steel plants of Kurk and the
tractor factories of Kharkov are
beyond reach of the Hitler arm
ies, unless a strong offensive is
launched and Red armies thrown
back before winter sets in.
Where fighting is now taking
p ace, the area is an agricultural
belt, Littlepage said. In the win
ter, the mercury sinks to 40 be
low in this region, he said. The
only improved highway to Mos
cow along the line of German ad
V3nces is the Minsk-Smolensk
highway, being held by the Red
forces, according to Russian re
ports. Other roads, as winter set
t'es down, will be impassable for
most motor vehicles, Littlepage
believes, although he said tank
corps could progress along other
routes.
Ural Plants
People generally do not real
ize the fast industrial develop
ments in the Ural mountain re
gions Littlepage believes. Over in
western Siberia, far from the
Nazi forces, he said, there are
huge plants. Munitions works at
Sverdlovsk and a caterpillar trac
tor plant and alloy steel mills at
Chelyabinsk are able to keep
turning out war materials for
the Soviet fighting forces without
any immediate threat from the
Nazis he said.
From these Ural mountain re
gions, three good railroad lines
run to Noscow, Littlepage stated.
POSSIBLE JAPANESE MOVES SEEN
Observers in Shanghai believed the Japanese, reported concentrat
ing at Hainan, were planning a move into French Indo-China. Far
Eastern experts in Washington believed Japan’s reported new de
mands on Indo-China were based on determination to place Jap
aese forces within striking distance of Singapore and the Dutch
East Indies and that a move into Indo-China would also put them
in position for a blow at China’s Burma Hoad supply-line. Arrows
indicate these possible objectives; shading, Japanese penetration
of China.

Nazis Substitute
Wood for Cotton
BERLIN ifiT1) —Wood fibre may
dethrone “King Cotton” in Nazi,
Germany.
Big-scale preparations, based
on work by the Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute for Research, are being
made to insure a continuous sup;
ply of wood. About 48,000 acres
have been devoted exclusively to
growing of “giant” poplar trees
considered best for wood fibre.
The trees, cultivated from pop
lar trees from Siberia, North Am
erica and the Rhine, grow 20 to
40 per cent faster than ordinary'
poplars, according to Dr. von i
Wettstein of the institute. Two1
years after the young trees have
been planted their sprigs can be
harvested.
Three Persons
Killed Seattle
Gun Battle
SEATTLE — All Seatle speak
easies were ordered closed recent
ly by new Police Chief Herbert
iKimsey after three men were
shot to death and seven wound
ed in a ten-minute night club
hold-up pistol battle early Sun
day.
Kimsey .identified the gunman
himself critically wounded, as
Edward Linton Yager, alias
James Green, 28. who left em
ployment at the Bremerton Navy
Yard last month. He said Yager’s
parents live in Walla Walla.
Battle in Club
The battle in the basement
club at 410 Second Avenue South
cost the lives of Monte Brown,
61, Vice-President of the Seattle
Journal of Commerce; bartend
er Gum Galmantos, 48, and John
Linder, bystander.
Still in danger are Police Pat
rolman Leon Brown, 42, who an
swered a call for help at the j
club at 5 a.m.; Carl Johnson, 28,
bystander who received a chest
wound; Nick Galmatos, brotherj
of the slain bartender, who re
ceived a chest wound; John
Nordstrom, 60, janitor, shot in
neck; Horace Smith, 43, hotel,
clerk, shot in the foot and Police j
Patrolman Wedard Barr, 40, shot
in the arm.
Deputy Prosecutor Rawls said
Yager answered “I did” to the
question as to who shot the bar
tender and admitted other de
tails of the shooting, declaring
that he had an accomplice whose
name he did not know.
Bandit Doing Solo
Witnesses to the shooting, how
ever declared there was no ac
complice and gave evidence that
the gunman arrived at the club,
stepped behind the bar, waved a
38 calibre special revolver at the
bartenders and demanded the
cash.
,Just as one of the Galmatos in
dicated the cash drawer, the rob
ber, aparenptly without provo
cation, began firing, killing Gus
and wounding Nick Galmatos. He
then stuffed a. handful of bills in
ais pocket. Brown summoned a
club employee and then dashed
downstairs amid a hail of shots.
He dropped with a bullet near
lis heart.
