Special Bureaus. In all coast cities, special bureaus will help the Japanese-Americans liquidate or establish management over the property they own. Seattle, in proportion to its size, has more Japanese than any northwest city, and a survey Jus completed here shows what a bold the Japanese can get on any city. It upsets any calculations that Japanese moved from the Coast would be content to work as low- paid agricultural workers. In Seattle, for instance, there are approximately 6,000 Japanese and their descendants out of a total population of approximately 450, 000.

But- Japanese control 17 of Seattle grocery stores, in all parts of the city. They own or manage two-thirds of the city hotel accommodations. Nearly one-fourth of the cleaning and dyeing works in Seattle are owned or controlled by those 01 Japanese blood. They operate almost half of the city 500 restaurants. And more than one-half of the greenhouses in the Seattle area are operated by the Nipponese.

Japanese are making plans for moving eastward; just where, it has not been determined. One group 01 Catholic Japanese has asked to be moved as a unit. Along the whole coast, Japanese mer chants are holding "evacuation sales." Slowly but Surely. At each hearing of the Tolan Congressional committee on Japa- nese migration, held In coast cities, civic and business leaders, as well as officials such as Mayor Earl Millikin of Seattle and Gov.

Even the sinking of Chilean ships is not expected to sway her from her present course. It is said here that Chile this year will snip a record-breaking 500.000 tons of copper to the United States, as well as some 800,000 tons of nitrates.

Also, Bethlehem Steel will ship about 1,600,000 tons of high-grade iron ore, to be smelted in the United States. Under a recent agreement, the United States will buy all the gold, silver and other metals that Chile produces for the next three years.

It is said that unless he succeeds in clearing himself, he will be forced to resign his post. Flynn is accused of paving a courtyard at his country estate at Lake Mahopac, N. with 8,000 paving blocks owned by the Bronx borough government, the work being performed by New York City employes. Flynn is Democratic boss of the Bronx.

After the news became public, restitution was made to the Bronx with 8,000 other blocks obtained from a private source, and the city payroll records were doctored, it is charged, to make it appear that the city employes did the work, for Flynn while on leave. They were then paid with funds furnished by Flynn's law firm, it Is said. The Democratic leader, vacationing in Florida, denounced the charges as a pack of lies, and demanded the privilege of appearing before the Grand Jury, waiving immunity. According to the testimony of witnesses already examined by Paul J. Kern, ousted Civil Service Commissioner, and William B.

Herlands, Commissioner of Investigation, at least 24 Bronx employes were involved in the gratuitous paving job. It is charged that the time sheets and paving records were later altered in an effort to cover it up. On Feb. 2 Flynn made a radio speech in which he said that "no misfortune except a major military defeat could befall this country to the extent involved in the election of a Congress hostile to the President." Public reaction to this address was so unfavorable that Roosevelt made haste to explain that he wanted Congressmen, regardless of party, who would back up the Government.

They dominate the eastern Mediterranean and protect the flank of rickety Italy from the Allied forces of the Middle East.

An assault on the shores of Italy demanded by bold strategists would be possible only if the United Nations first conquered the Bal kans. An Invasion of the Balkans by the Allies also has been urged to save the brave Greek and Serb guerillas and to divert Axis divi sions from the Kussian front. Important Diversion. The Axis has kept about 20 divisions in Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete. Such a force, if released, could conceivably turn the tide of many crucial battles in Kussia.
