Generals Lay Corner Log Of USO Building

Dedicat;ng the structure to "closer cooperation, deeper un- cerstanding and stronger friend ship between the military and civilian communities of the sec ton, Major Gen. Simon B. Buck ner, Jr., commanding general of the Alaska Defense Command, laid the corner log of the new United Service Organization building recently at Fifth and G Streets in Anchorage.
 More than 400 persons witnes- sed the colorful ceremony for which Brig. Gen. Jesse A. Ladd, commanding general of Fort Rich ardson was the principal speaker.
 The Fourth Infantry band par ticipated. The American Legion post furnished a color guard and J. s. Morris, department com mander of the Legion in Alaska, was master of ceremonies.
 To Furnish Club Rooms
 Interest in the building which will furnish club rooms for ser vice men in Anchorage, proved so keen that spectators braved cold weather to hear General Ladd and see General Buckner place the log in position.
 Said General Ladd:
 This is to be a beautiful build ing. It's staff has been well chos- en. Already a comprehensive pro gram is being drawn. In this time of emergency, that which will be done through the minis try of this building will be time ly. It will relieve the loneliness of our soldiers. Ii will afford a meetings place for soldiers and civilians. It will cement the ties between these two.
 Sees It A Monument
 Sharing in it's activities will bring to rich glow the patriotic fervor of us all. In the years to come, when the threatened al- arms of war are stilled, this  building will continue to stand here, serving the interests of An chorage but also a monument to what was done by Anchorage when the liberty of America was endangered"
 Forrest P. Knapp, U. s. o. re- presentatives, said more than 200 men made use of the temporary U. s. o. quarters in the basement of the Episcopal church during the afternoon and evening, many discovering for the first time that limited facilities are available there.

Governor
Reviews State
Progress
Reporting To People
On Anniversary
Of Election

Paying tribute to those who have
cooperated in bringing about the
improvement, Governor Harold E.
Stassen in a radio address this past
week on the anniversary of his
election three years ago reviewed
the accomplishments Of his admin
istration, arrayed against the con-
ditions that prevailed when he took
office.
Reporting to the people on his
stewardship, the Governor said
frankly: I'VE have made mistakes
We have not been perfect. We have
been human" He then proceeded
upon this background to picture the
progress that has been made as
compared to conditions before he
became governor.
Not merely on terms Of records
and statistics, did he draw the
picture. RULES and procedures and
records" he said, Should not per-
ment to the people to become cold
NIT the relationship Of a govern
and stern" He reported instances
Of services rendered by the state
opening up new opportunities to in
dividual citizens.
Members Of the legislature, state
officials, department heads and en-
ployees Of the state all have CO
operated, Governor Stassen said, In
bringing about the improvement in
state government Minnesota has
enjoyed in the last three years
Among the highlights in this rec
ord, he said, are:
The Minnesota unemployment
compensation department was a
tangled mess three years ago, with
workers having to wait for weeks
and months to get their unemploy-
ment compensation checks. The
federal government placed Mime.
sofa in 45th place among the AZ
states in slowness in getting these
checks to the workers. Reorgan-

matters are to be discussed con-
cerning the affairs of the Associa-
ton, and the welfare of the re-

improved its efficiency that it rec
emily was ranked first among ths
states in promptness Of getting un-
employment compensation checks
to unemployed workers. Morrow
er, administrative costs have been
reduced enough to save 81, 900, 900
in overhead costs in three years.
The highway department has
made splendid record under Com.
missioner Mike Hoffman. Chang
ing a 100000 shortage Of three
years ago into a cash balance with
a reserve of 100000, the depart
ment has carried on a construction
program of $13,500, 900 this year, the
largest for many years, and the
U. s. Bureau of Public Roads has
given Minnesota the highest main
tenance rating in its history.
The total state debt Of $134 4,0OO,-
600 of three years ago has been
cut down $20,000000.
For the first time in five or six
years, state school aids have been
pdlu ouI III tillC Iiilo year COiAi-
pared with delays Of three to five
months in other years.
The new social welfare division
under Walter Finke has reorgan-
lied the important services in this
field, cut administrative costs 30q6
and increased payments for old
age assistance and aid to depend
ent children.
Millions of dollars have been saw
ed by the new commissioner Of ad-
ministration, Leslie M. Gravlin, and
his assistants. Deficits and over
drafts and shortages of three years
ago have been changed into a bal
anced budget"
Minnesota's new labor peace law
has so reduced the number of
strikes and lockouts that out of
100000 workers in the state, less
than 100 now are on strike, and
none affects national defense.

Stassen Goes
To Capitol on
Oleo Order
Governor Will Make
Further Effort to Modify
McNutt Ruling

Governor Harold E. Stassen wa.
in Washington this week seeking
support for proposals which will
help farmers and small business
men over difficulties that now be-
set them.
One of the problems occupying
his attention is the threat to dairy
farmers of Minnesota and other
states resulting from the much de.
bated oleomargarine regulation
promulgated by Paul ". McNutt
federal security administrator. Nc
Mutt announced this past week af-
ter repeated appeals from state Of
ficials and farm groups that he
would not reopen the oleomargar-
inc question for further hearing.
Governor Stassen announced
promptly that he would go to
Washington and make further ef-
forts to obtain a favorable decision
from .McNutt and If this fails see
members Of the Minnesota delega.
tion about getting through Con-
gress measures that will nullify ef-
feet of the McNutt order.
"McNutt's order will be a severe
blow to farmers Of Minnesota and
other dairy states If it is allowed
to stand" Governor Stassen said
1T sets up standards which will al
low manufacturers of oleomargar-
inc to add coloring and flavoring
matter and other ingredients which
make it an almost exact imitation
of butter. This will prove extreme
ly disastrous to our farmers, and
we must do everything possible to
prevent it."
Governor Stassen said he would
seek also to obtain some modifica-
ton of the regulations on distri-
button of raw materials. Many
small firms, not engaged in defense
work, are finding it difficult or i'm
possible to get needed materials, he
said, and face uncertain prospects
He said that he would try to get
a revision of provisions for alloca-
ton Of raw materials, giving these
business men greater opportunity
to get materials.
