Edwards, Roseburg resident, now employed at Anchorage. "This city," he writes, "Is a lit tle smaller than Roseburg with one short paved street and the balance like the upper North Umpqua road. Houses are very small and built tight Two and three-room homes rent for $60 to 590 per month and sell for about $5,000 If you could get one. Ev erything Is unratloned, except tires and motor vehicles. Candy bars are five cents and gasoline is 26 cents a gallon. There is no road tax because they have no roads. For some reason tnose two Items are low. Everything else Is at least double tne ftoae bure prices. "Wages are high but are not in proportion to living expenses. Any taxi pickup is $1 minimum. Transportation is largely by air. They claim a private plane to ev ery 40 persons. The small planes nave iioais or skis, especially in winter when snow is deep. Then thev can set down any where. There is practically no timber large enougn to make a cross-tie."

Armies Lack Supplies Economic difficulties, Inflation and shortages have made the lot of the people Increasingly miser able. The armies fight without even a minimum of necessary arms. They are In many Instances poorly led, and they feel they have less and less to fight for. The allied command setup Is regarded here as hopelessly com plicated.

Mountbatten in turn Is subject to decisions of General Auchinleck, India com mander, for. troops. Auchlnlcck's primary concern is to preserve or- uer in inaia.
