Northern Defenses BY ROBERT nAEGER ment bas engineered four plans to keep the papers going and in the hands of "reliable" persons. Plans Proposed. The plans are, in descending order of desirability 1. Privateiease agreements between be-tween plant owners and present operators of papers. 2. Fifteen-year leases; this term is being pushed by military government and present publishers publish-ers as necessary to protect the "new" press. 3. Five-year leases, If owners refuse to sign 15-year documents. 4. If all the above fait military government's property control branch steps in and decrees a five-year lease. Under such agreements, agree-ments, the owners would receive a just rental, as determined by though they refused to sign any lease. The villain of the piece, so far as military government is cont cerned, is Dr. Martin Loeffler, an attorney who served the defense in the Nuernberg trials. Opposition Organized Loeffler has rounded up a group-of ex-nazi plan? owners and spearheaded a . campaign against long-term leases. Because his clients cli-ents have now been politically Sons of Pioneers To Hear Report A complicating factor in th whole situation is the shortage of printing equipment in Germany.. Hopes that present licensees can -start out for themselves if the old, 1 owners get their plants back arej dimmed by the fact that only two s firms in. the American zone manufacture man-ufacture rotary presses and there is a waiting period of from two, to eight years between orders and;, deliveries. , It all adds to the feeling of in- United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN (U.R) After two years trying to build a democratic press in their zone of Germany, Of Pioneer Tr American authorities face the threat of a gang of ex-nazis grabbing grab-bing the product of their labors. In licensing more than 40 newspapers, news-papers, with carefully selected editors ed-itors and publishers, the Americans Ameri-cans took, over whatever printing plants were available, most of them nazi-owned. Now many of the owners, "purified" by German denazification courts, demand the return of their property. , American military government press officials estimated that more than 70 per cent of the zone's newspapers are endangered by the threat. To combat it, military govern Verl G.

By JACK HOLPER , NEA Staff Correspondent ATTU (NEA) One hundred enemy soldiers, combat-trained and equipped, could seize Attu any time they chose almost without resistance. Probably they would need no sea or air cover. Attu is just a little rock island far out in the Pacific, closer to Siberia than to the mainland of North' America. But there are a lot of American graves on Attu the graves of men of the Seventh Division, who paid a high price in May, 1943, to recapture Attu from the Japs. There are 1000 Americans here now 600 navy, 200 army who are moving out whatever military property is worth taking, and 200 civilians building a permanent weather observatory for either the navy or the CAA to operate. But bgr the end of November all but 100 will be eone. And even today there are only 4'0 men : teen age Marine boots on guard duty who are trained to shoot guns.
