BREWSTER FAVORS UNIFIED COMMAND

WASHINGTON, July 20 (U. P.). —Senator Ralph O. Brewster (R. Me.), a member of the senate committee investigating the war pro- ¥ gram, said today that lack of unifled command is “endangering” the defenses of Alaska. “Every - consideration and argument for a unified command applies with greater force to Alaska and the Aleutian islands where all operations must be amphibious,” Brewster said in an interview. “A successful defense requires the closest co-operation between the army, navy and air force.”

FLOODS IN EAST TAKE 10 LIVES

High Waters Cause Millions Of Dollars in Property Damage.

BRADFORD, Pa., July 20 (U. P.). .—At least 10 persons were known

dead today in floods which swept the upper reaches of the Allegheny river, leaving hundreds homeless. Five were reported dead at Port Allegany, Pa.; three at Olean, N. Y.; one at Johnsonburg, Pa., and one at Coudersport, Pa. A 15-year-old boy was killed by lightning near Lyndonville, N. Y., during a heavy storm accmopanying the floods. Coast guardsmen, civilian defense workers, doctors and nurses were mobilized in both New York and Pennsylvania for relief work. Families living in the lowlands were evacuated to higher ground. A dam burst at Olean, pouring a 10-foot wall of water over 14 blocks of the town, causing property damage estimated at thousands of dollars. Only the business section and a few residential areas escaped damage. The storage dam of the Williamson Pulp and Paper Co. was washed away at Austin, Pa., nearly leveling the village of 500 persons. At Ridgway, Pa., two plants working on war orders were flooded. Several highway and railroad bridges were swept away as the river surged, and officials feared the total damage would amount to millions of’ dollars.

ALLIED YOUTH HEAD RAPS COCKTAIL HOUR

PORTLAND, Ore., (U. P.).—Society has failed to help youth choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, in the opinion of W. Roy] Berg, executive secretary of Allied Youth. Mr. Berg explained: When young people make a choice -about drinking a cocktail they do it in a split second and theif choices are made under a lot of social pressure. “There is seldom fruit or tomato Juice on the tray to make their

decision easier.”

Churchill Move Linked to. New Pressure for Second Front.-

Minister Winston Churchill has of-

net post which may be linked with the problem of establishing a second front this year, well informed political quarters reported today. The report, although not confirmed officially, lent emphasis. to ‘the current British-American talks here which are expected to determine whether the allied armies will attempt to invade the continent before winter. Russia is believed to be exerting considerable pressure on Britain to open a second front immediately, warning of the possible dangers if German successes continue.

Fear Attack on Siberia

Further, some allied quarters fear p

that Japan may soon attack Siberia. Informants who sponsored the Beaverbrook report said that Beaverbrook now was considering an offer from Churchill but that he withheld his decision hoping for some sort of assurance that a full scale invasion of the continent would be attempted. Beaverbrook, Canadian-born newspaper publisher, served for a time in the cabinet as minister of aircraft production and minister of supply. His friends held that he had speeded up production; his enemies that he had not. British and American leaders here are re-examining all the probiems which confront the allies as the result of the continued German drive against Russia and of the threat of a Japanese sneak attack. The atmosphere for the talks was growing more tense.

Crew's Spitz Left by Japs

WASHINGTON, July 20 (U. P.). —Sasha, the white spitz that for four years has been the constant companion of Ambassador and Mrs. Joseph C. Grew, has become a war casualty in Japan, it was learned today. Under the exchange arrangements for American and Japanese diplomats, no dogs were permitted aboard the exchange vessels to and from the Orient. Sasha, therefore, has been left behind along with the pets of other members of the embassy staff.
