Says LI S. Is
Buying lime
Secretary of War Henry L.
Stimson. in his testimony before
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, emphasiz-'s that the
United States is “buying” not
“selling” under the Lend-Lease
bill. He insists that this country
is "buying time to prepare” com
plete national defense.
The Secretary realizes that the
problem of national defense has
been tremendous'y complicated
by the fall of France and the al
liance signed by Germany, Italy
and Japan, directed against this
country.
No individual is wise enough to
read the future and. consequent
ly, no man can say positively
that Germany. Italy and Japan
•will or will not attack America.
This means, und r present cir
cumstances. aid to Great Britain
in order that the totalitarian
powers will not become supreme
and free to attempt a combined
offensive against th: Western
Hemisphere until the United Siat
es is strong enough to defend it
self, unaided against all enemies.
japan Sees
The Handwriting
Th; situation in the Far East is
very delicate, with the Japanese
probably convinced, for the first
time, that the United States is
ready to take all risk necessary
to put an end to further aggres
sion.
While there is no way for the
layman to know the position of
the United States has probably,
been made plain to Japan. The
Tokyo statesmen now know that,
regardless of th:ir Axis alliance,
they will have to face the Ameri
can fleet as well as British forces
in the Far East. They realize, of
course, that th-ir alliance with
Italy and Germany is a broken
stick so far as any help is con
cerned in the Far East.
Attorney Gen.
Jackson Is For
^ ire Tapping
WASHINGTON, March 19—At
tornoy General Jackson told the
House Judiciary Committee yes
terday that legislation permitting
wire tapping by F deral Bureau
of Investigation agents will b;
necessary if the Justice Depart
ment is to meet adequately the
sabotng and espionage problem
resulting from the present de
fense emergency.
Jackson appeared before a se
cret se sion of the judiciary
group to urge prompt action on
pending legislation which w'ould
permit law' enforcement agencies
to resort to wire tapping.
Labor and liberal groups thru
out the country have opposed
vigorously the' proposed wire tap
ping legislation on the ground it
would violate individual rights.
Jackson said that in order to
meet the oposition he would sug
gest the wire tapping be limit
ed to cases involving sabotage
and espionage.

Hubbard Ridi
cules Invasion
Of Alaska
NEW YORK, March—The Rev.
Bernard R. Hubbard, whos^ ex
p’orations in Alaska and the Far
North won him the title of “Gla
cier Priest,” depreciates the pos
sibility of any invasion of the
United States by way of Alaska.
Lack of gasoline and absence
of transportation would mak
the invasion “impossible and ri
diculous,” he says.
“You ccuid send 20,000 airplan
es and perhaps take over Alaska
as a whole, and then what,” he
asked, pointing to Alaska’s prox
imity to Japan and Russia.
He declares that poor weath-r
on the Aleutian Islands preclud
es the establishment of air bases
which wcu d be effective.
Narrows Bridge
Will Need
Complete Job
OLYMPIA, Wash., March f/P)—
The towers, cables and ap
proaches, only parts of th. Tac
oma Narrows bridge left stand
ing when the span disintegrated
and plunged into Puget Sound
last November, were twisted and
sheared b yond further use and
must be dismantled if the struc
ture is to be rebuilt, the gover
nor’s office reported.
The report was based on find
ings of a sp cial board appointed
by the state toll bridge authority.
The board members minutely
examined the wrecked span to de
termine the causa of its collapse
and estimate the cost if it were
rebuilt exactly as it stood.
The board, composed of three
prominent engineers, reported
net restoration would cost $4,
473,000, but said an explanation
of the collapse couldn’t be made
until what remains of the bridge
is torn down and studied.

PAUL SATKO’S OWN STORY
iN ALASKA SPORTSMAN
A new three-room house will
be r ady for occupancy by Cap
tain Paul Satko and his family
this spring, and another probl m
will then confront the Modern
Noah — what to do with the
"Ark"?
In the new issue of The Alas
ka Sportsman magazine, the Ap
rii number, Satko has written the
slory of his adventures and prob
lems since arriving safely in Al
aska last June from his four
thousand mile ‘‘boat trip” by
land and sea from Virginia, and
of his present outlook for the fu
ture.
Chiefly the attentions of the
Virginia w lder and his family
have been confined to becoming
settled. This problem they solved
by selecting a homestead in the
Eagle River Valley a few miles
north of Juneau, clearing land,
and beginnnig construction of a
permanent home. The building
wi 1 be a log structure, 20 feet
by 30 feet in size.
The family will move ashore as
ton as the house is finished, Sat
ko says, and their long stay
aboard their home-made boat
will be ended — permanently.
But what to do with the Ark,
Satko does not know. N-xt on
his program, he says, is to cul
tivate his and and raise produce
for himself and his family and
for housewives in Juneau.
GINGER WEEPS OVER “OSCAR”
The excitement was just too much for Ginger Rogers (left) when
she was named the movies’ champion actress for 1940 for her char
acterization of “Kitty Foyle,” and she broke into tears over her
“Oscar" (foreground) when she got back to her table at the Motion
Picture Academy Awards banquet in Hollywod. Her mother, Mrs.
Leila Rogers (center), also was weepy as David Hempstead, her
producer, tried to soothe both happy women.
