KETCHIKAN HAS WHAT IT TAKES

This week new fisheries technological labora- tory building costing $580O0 was dedicated by the Fish and Wildlife Service Its location is Ket- chikan.
 Last month U S. Coast Guard headquarters in Washington announced the site of new $250,OOO communications station to keep in contact with cutters on the North Pacific The site: Ketchkan.
 The Army is building one large airbase in South east Alaska a job which will probably take five years Barracks are being constructed already for permanent force of ITS The base is being built on Annette Island Daily boat service connects t.le base with Ketchikan
 Last week word came from Washington that the Juneau District of the Coast Guard had been renamed the Ketchikan District. When this separ- ate Alaska section was set up year ago. the orders from Washington to establish headquarters at Juneau When the new Commandant of the District arrived in Juneau he couldn't find office quarters He moved his office to Ketchkan "tem- porarily" Last weeks order permanently changing the name of the District said "the change was made to avoid confusion. The Juneau District was so named when that city originally intended for the location of the Coast Guards main offices in the Territory"
 Commander F A. Zeusler, returning from Wash ington last week. said the Ketchikan Coast Guard dock would be enlarged and that third story would be added to the Coast Guard depot. He said bids would be called immediately for the quarter million dollar radio station which is to be built just north of Mud Eight All construction is to be in concrete There will be one large building for receiving ad- mnistration, laboratory auxiliary power house a separate power supply and transmitting building and large residential quarters for petty officers and assistants who will staff the station The site is mile wide and two miles long to allow for future development
 
 the Coast Guard District headquarters the fisheries laboratory the big new communications station anc an Army airbase. In the period of time Juneau has been selected as the site of the following new enterprises
 This peculiar disparity is not just happenstance Observe how Ketchikan works on it's prospects,

District was created Capt. Ralph c. Parker was appointed Commandant and given warship the gunboat Charleston, to serve as his floating headquarters. Juneauites hoped fondly that Captain Parker would make this port his base-hoped and nothing more. The Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce has written radiograms and letters to Navy officials asking that they inspect Ketchikan and determine what part the city may play in national defense. " special committee of the Chamber has suggested to the Commandant of the 18th Naval District that Ketchikan facilities be used to repair steel and wooden ships and to construct smaller wooden vessels for the Navy Captain Parker has been in vited evauate the actual and potential facilities by which Ketchikan contribute to the Navy's expansion program" AS result all Ketchikan ship building firms, machine shops, mills and other n- dustral plants received questonaires from the 18th Naval District requesting detailed information on her facilities And Juneau still hopes this will be the sectors headquarters.
 We're not criticzing Ketchkan far from it. We are pointing to that community and its progress sive community spirit example. There is nothing underhanded about the way Ketchkan goes after new establishments for the city In fact, the Ketchkan method is remarkably straightforward. 1etchkan doesn't have to cover its efforts along this inc. No other community seems to be very much interested in any of the valuable things Ketchkan is winning for herself with such regularity.

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Milton Kaufman, executive vice. president of the American News paper Guild, denied that he ghost ed John L. Lewis report to the CIO convention which condemned Roosevelt and the defense program. Other CIO authorities credit Kauf- man with being the author of the report as well as being leader of Lewis inner council at the con- yention George Washington's statement on national preparedness was as follows: If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful inStru- ments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war" It was no accident that Gardner Jackson. tWo-flsted crusader and outspoken critic of Representative Martin Dies, preceded the Texan in his conference with the President. Roo- sevelt purposely arranged his call ing list so that he talked with Jackson at length while Dies cool ed his heels in the outer office.

Failure of an Axis Campaign
(Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 Correspondents in Germany have been preparing for weeks to cover the shotgun wedding of Germany to most of the remaining nations the Continent But the story that begins to that the brides aren't showing up at the altar.
 Definite announcement comes from Berlin that Bulgaria won't join the Axis that other nations are expected to join at present
 The Italian press adopts an "of course' tone explaining that Bulgaria won't join because that might provoke Turkey into hosttes against the Axis. There "of course" about it few weeks ago. Then, the Axis policy to isolate Turkey and Greece by inviting all other Powers into the new order"
 It is hard to believe that the Axis efforts were devoted solely to the end accomplished by bringing Rumana Hungary and Sovakia into an alliance that already included Germany, Italy and Japan. These last three countries constitute logical if vicious alliance against the democracies. And these three countries, plus the rest of Europe, would be tre- mendousy impressive.
 But tieup of Germany Italy and Japan with Slovakia, Rumania and Hungary immediately be- conspicuous for the nations 1t leaves out The Axis had its three new" partners in all but name before the negotiations began The new alliance lacks diplomatic symmetry; it looks like un- finished job
 Another bride who hasn't turned up is Soviet Russia The Molotoff visit to Berlin is now defin- itely in the past-and nothing apparently has come of it. Hitler was supposed to have asked Molotoff to bring further pressure to bear on Turkey If it was brought, there is sign of it. The Turkish press is increasingly unfriendly to Italy The Turk ish Government has declared martial law in the northwestern provinces.
 Hitlers conversation with Franco also failed to bear any discernible fruit. Nor have Lavas versations with Hitler resulted in any further CO., operation between France and the Axis
 Why these conferences so highly publiczed in advance if nothing meant to of them?
 Meanwhile there reports of serious Nor wegian sabotage against Germany The Oslo- Bergen railway has been blocked in 10 places by avalanches apparently created deliberately.
 No real revolt in German-co conquered territory can be expected until Germany is in trouble else where. But sabotage can be expected to act as a barometer of waning German prestige. There can be no concealment of the diplomatic setbacks of the Axis since the beginning of the Ito Greek war. The Axis road to Suez and Axis control of the Mediterranean further away than at any time since Italy jumped into the

has dual distinction. In addition to extending civil service rating to more unclassified government en- ployeeS than any similar law in his- tory (about 100000 it also required longer to sign.
 The long drawn out signature was because the President had promised a pen used in the signing ceremony to each of the three peo- pie: Representative Bob Ramspeck of Georgia and Senator Jim Mead of New York, co-sponsors of the bill; and Representative Jennings Randolph of West Virginia, ranking member of the Civil Service Con- mittee.
 This meant splitting his signature into three parts and using diff ferent pen for each. The three pens were placed on his desk when he was ready to sign, but when he looked for the inkwell, it had mys- teriously disappeared. After sev- eral minutes, White House Clerk Rudolph Forster finally produced the ink.
 Then as the President was half way through his signatre, the sec ond pen splattered large blob of ink on the law. This required an other pause, while the President painstakingly mopped up the smear with the corner of a blotter. Fi- nally the signing was completed, having consumed ten full minutes.
 "I'l bet" grinned Roosevelt, that's the longest time any Presi- dent ever took to sign his name.' ?

BRITISH INVASION

The British are coming to Wash- ington at a rate that almost amounts to a second invasion. Even in 1914, when the Redcoats burned the Capitol, their force was scarce ly more impressive.
 Actually there are 430 represen- tatives of the British Government in Washington today-l30 members of the Embassy staff, 300 members of the British Purchasing Com mission and British Air Commits sion. The figures includes every cne-officers, clerks, messengers and chauffers.
 The British Embassy and Chan cery now is the largest diplomatic establishment in Washington, but it is not large enough. An annex has been added to care for an overflow of coding clerks and of ficials of the office of Economic Warfare.
 Meanwhile the two British Com missions occupy space in four oth- CT buildings. They started out in modest quarters in the Hibbs build ing, expanded to the entire top floor of the Willard Hotel, added further space in the Adams build ing. and most recently have taken ever Andrew Melons old apart ment building at l85 Massachusetts Avenue to accommodate the Air Commission.
 These are the British in Wash ington alone. In addition, the New York office of the Purchasing Commission numbers 1000 persons, plus 500 inspectors who travel about the country testing the wide assort- ment of articles from ships to air planes, which are being purchased in the United States.

REFORM VIA ARMY

The Army's greatly expanded food requirements may become the means of forcing long sought labor reforms in the canning industry. which is noted for its low labor standards, particularly among small plants.
 In the past. the Army bought canned goods chiefly through local Jobbers and wholesalers. But with consumption increasing hundred fold, the Army plans to sidetrack the jobbers and go direct to the canpers. C
 This opens the way for reuuir- ing the canners to comply with the Wage-Hour and Walsh -Healey Acts, both of which have been a bitter

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compe"
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13

FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is
 Although this is an unlucky date according to superstition, there are few evil portents in the horoscope for today. There is a sign read as presaging disappointing news affecting business, but trade today should be brisk. Women are under threatening sign.
 Heart and Home: AS holiday preparations proceed women may have to change the usual plans for family celebrations, but they must accept disappointments philo- sophically. In many parts of the country bad weather may interfere with social programs. With the motto, The best time is now, there should be an effort to make each day @ memdrable. Readjust- ments in social customs are pro- phesied for the future. These changes must be faced with de- termination to make the most of American freedom.
 Business Affairs: Stimulation of many industries now will presage new year of prosperity, but vast governmental expenditures will in- crease taxes. The trend toward self -sufficiency in communities small and large, will be marked before the end of 1941, year in which many lessons in economics must be learned. With the infil- tration of refugees many farming regions as well as many small towns will expand. Speculation should be prevented as progress is made by means of slow but sure methods of trade buildups.
 National Issues: Schools will find it imperative to alter courses of study and to train the rising gen. eration for world that is changed In period of national crisis practical patriotism which enables every man and woman to contrib ute to the progress of the nation must be taught. Perils in the pur- suit of pleasure will be recognized as the results of careless spending are seen. Work must be substituted for play among young and old.
 International Affairs: Spain is to be pawn in the Nazi game until the day when dictators vanish. AL though Hitler has enjoyed sudden victories over peace-loving nations his eclipse will be slower than his rise to the midheaven of power Through the winter there will be revolutionary impulses that spread but delivery from the tyranny ot the Nazis will come through the final triumph of Britain, the seers prognosticate. Strange new pacts and alliances will form. Treachery will contribute to the downfall oi the dictators whose weapon it has been.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair ly good fortune. Unexpected favors from new connections are indicat- ed
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be high-strung, restless and changeable. They should be talented and lucky all through life

 Army purchasing chiefs also are working on plan for centralized buying of the enormous quantities of canned goods, meats, vegetables and other perishable foods which the draft army will need Behind this is the desire to avoid a situa- tion where various Army quarter masters would bid against each other--to the enrichment of spec ulators and expense of the tax payer.
