 Costs are so high in Alaska. that Is the point. And income, at the start, so small. And today's pio- neers don't mold tallow candles and weave cloth, and build their own blows. and make their own shoes. That day has passed.
 Today's pioneers buy all these things, and in a year or two just these little things can run up into thousands of dollars of debt.
 There is one thing about Mata- nuska Colony that had never realized before. and that, is that It's to become cooperative com ii,unity. O. "e,
 From now on. every colonist must sell, and buy, through the association. It seems to me a good thing. For otherwise the colonists would soon be cutting each others throats dumping their products on the Anchorage market. And with living costs the way they are in Alaska, the minute you cut your neighbor's throat, you cut your own.
 There can be, and Is, success in Matanuska Colony. But the col- onists of this generation, it seems to me, are never going to do much more than live. The government men themselves say that this gen. eration won't reap the benefits from Matanuska. It will be the grandchildren of today's colonists, they say, who will garner the full benefits from tl1ig new land.

BEHOLD BETTY
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Little Betty Brown has blossomed out And she isn't yet sixteen; We sort of liked that little girl
 Before she went from chubby to lean. Long hair tied with a bow She'd come running down the street; She had such very pretty ways
 And always looked so sweet. Suddenly we lost track of Betty, Missed her morning hello" Looked in vain for her long light hair Tied so nicely on top just so But Betty, 1t seems Is still around, She's grown up,-and what splurse! A composite of dozen screen stars A fine example of the cosmetic urge. Her blond hair is even blonder,
 Her eyes are lost in fringe; She wears her clothes a la Crawford, She looks all set for binge. Betty is here but still she isn't,
 She's fashioned herself from the screen; There's little left of her former self, Though she's referred to as some queen. Somehow we regret the re-making, The new edition seems to estrange Us from the little girl we once knew That's life-"oh time and change!"

Further notes on Congress.
 The court debate, anti lynchine act and the struggle over con firmation of Senator Black to the Supreme Court drew the largest crowds, in the order named.
 Tn the House. members reported privately, no such cloakroom rage had ever been observed as that exhibited by northern urban and western farm state congressman when the southern cotton bloc put over the $65 100000 authorization of customs receipts for subsidies experimenting the loans to guar antee Recent cotton. This last- day 0utburst of sectional feeling biased on the idea that cotton prices were no more important than other farm prices and the wage.hour bill - probably will carry over to the next session. Only the combined appeals of the southern leadership kept it from tying up adjournment.
 Most Washington correspondents were surprised at the number of private confessions from members of all parties and factions that they wanted Ito get home and find out what's going on." Pro and anti-administration members alike seemed unwilling to trust reports from friends at home or the con- sensue of office mail, insisting they must go out and mix with the rank and file before they could be sure how the bulk of their con- stituents felt about their own per- formances and national issues.
 Apparently the mystery has been settled as to whether Con. gressman Edward E. Cox of Ca milla, Ga, one of the Democratic rules committeeman who kept the wage-hour bill off the floor, ac- tually bet $50 In advance that the bill wouldn't come to vote.
 Hearing reports that Cox had offered to make such a bet, cer- tain indignant members com plained to Majority Leader Sam Rayburn. Rayburn returned, re- porting Cox had said 1t was "a windy" meaning a rhetorical bel made with no thought of an actual wager.

Richbers Still Hopes for Revival of NRA. Ad- ministration Vetoes Idea .. Last Congressional Notes Wage.Hour "Windy."

Washington, Aug. 2S - It seems impossible to get this thing settled whether there should be another NfSA or whether we should have straight wage-hour bill.
 That man Don Richberg, fOr- ner assistant President and still a close Roosevelt confidante, Is back again with his begulling words just when nearly everyone thought there just wasn't any more argument about 1t.
 Wage-hour legislation, Richberg says publicly, must be supple mented by a law to preserve fair competition in business and in- dustry if the interests of labor are to be protected.
 This would mean, according to those who wish Richberg would please stop, return to the NRA days when industrialists promised to observe various wage and hour schedules in return for exemption from the antitrust law and the right to fix prices, stifle production and otherwise restrict competition Squeeze Play
 There is a widespread impress sion here that NRA, among other things, served admirably as a de- vice by which big fellows squeezed out little fellows whose price competition, beneficial to con- sumers, had prevented monopolistic price fixing.
 When the administration turned to thinking of a wage-hour law early this year, Richberg fought behind the scenes for a virtual revival of NRA. He lost before he started because the President had decided on 8 straight wage hour bill, with standards to be fixed by government, no precious privileges to would-be monopolists in return for compliance, and plenty of punishment for non- compliance.
 Senator Hugo Black, now Su- preme Court justice, wouldn't lis- ten to Richberg at Labor Commit tee hearings on the wage-hour bill and had him file the statement presenting his views.
 Richberg loves the wraits of N7A and believes in the theory that big business, small business, labor. government and consumers can sit down as one happy family without anybody's throat being cut. The administration, for the time being, at least, scouts that theory. But Don Is mighty per- sistent
