ALASKA'S NEED OF CONTINUED
 COOPERATIVE EFFORT

One of the major factors which mas brought about marked progress toward development of the Territory during the last six years has been the excellent spirit of cooperation between the officials in Washington, Delegate Dimond and Territorial officials. The Delegate with the aid of western Senators and Rep resentatives has been able to drive home the needs of Alaska as representative heretofore has been able to do; and at the time he has had a sym pathetic audience from the White House, from Con- gress and from department heads.
 That same spirit of cooperation, if continued will bring about other important advances for Alaska which in the making.
 For example there is the defense program for the north, which means Army and Navy bases in the Territory; there is need for further development of commercial aviation with and improved air fields and communication systems there is the road program to open up of isolated but rich mineral areas there is the need for actual develop ment of the tourist and recreation business which the cooperation of all agencies and individuals there is the International Highway. These are but few of the major undertakings in the process of realization in which Delegate Dimond is a powerful and moving force.
 To continue that program, the Delegate needs solid support in the Territory The people of Alaska to its realization need to place public office men of broad vision; men who are in accord with the development program of Alaska, who know its prob lens and willing to strive toward their solution.
 Territorial Legislature which would be poiti- caly antagonstic to the Delegate and the national administration could well retard the advances which have been made and the progress in the future Alaska in its drive toward development and ultimate statehood has years to waste in political pickering. Alaska moving a united front is looking further than mere political victory It is looking the cul- mination of the program of development under way. Thus it becomes vally important that Alaskans who in accord with the Delegates efforts and the broad national policies of the administration are placed in office in the Territory to support the program.
 Next Tuesday when Alaska voters go to the polls to select public officials again. they will find the names of such men the ballot.
 Heading the ticket, of course will be the Dele gate himself, whose record alone should win him the greatest vote of confidence the voters of Alaska he has ever received There will be the name of Oscar G. Olson who is asking return to the Treasurers office and who is in complete accord with the Alaska program. For the Legislature there will be Henry

Grounds for Divorce?
(New York World Telegram

We are vaguely troubled by the news from Prague, In Czechosovakia, where the wife of a 69-year-old pensioned Schoolmaster has sought divorce because her husband insisted on preparing telephone book with the names spelled backward.
 His idea was that such directory would be help ful to people who might forget the first syllable of name but not the last It is novel notion but these are times when many proposals certainly no less contrary to established custom, are being advocated and even put into effect by individuals and govern mentS

of free Ireland is still dreamed in the Irish heart
Today it is longer dream. Only yesterday Irish

Lauds BOGke Carter

It is with much frankness
that I feel I must express my
self with reference to a certain
person who at this time is be-
ing investigated by the State
Department and immigration
service, and that is Mr.. Boake
Carter, who I rate as one Of our
foremost commentators, If not
the best that we have had in
recent years, even though at
this time he is being accused
of being a Fascist or Commu-
mist.
It may be true that he was
born Of Irish parentage in Rus
sia, but why must they dig this
all up after his being in this
country since 1921? II there
were more people permitted on
the radio and to write in the
paper such things that pertain
to the truth, which is all Mr..
Carter speaks, I believe this
country would be far better off.
The people in general are very
much disguised with some Of
the programs on the air, but it
seems as long as big corpora
tions pay large sums to keep
them on the air there is nothing
to be done.
It is very evident that very
little freedom Of the press ex-
lists at this crucial time, and
what little there is doesn't
amount to anything when some
one complains because truth is
told. The truth, whether it be
on the Bible or on the political
question or other subjects, hurts
some people. Truth is like a
sharp sword, it cuts and Slays.
Our family has always en-
ioyed Mr.. Carter's radio pro-
grams because our motto is
truth" and do hope that
through all adversely he will
come out on top and continue
to speak on the ether waves
and also that you will continue
his articles.
