British Health Stands Up
(The Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Like the morale of the country, the health of the British people is standing up under the impact of total war This may be attributed partly to lessons learned in the last war, partly to the abundant sci enfc progress made in the quarter century between the last conflict and this one.
 The British Government entered the last war without food policy. In this war there has been efficient food control from the beginning Most of the present ration allowances higher than those of 1918, and none is lower.
 Further the government has taken variety of steps to prevent malnutriton All expectant mothers and young children obtain milk at reduced prices or where necessary, free Higher rations of cheese allowed farm workers, miners, and others Com munal feeding centers being opened in all in- dustrial areas. Mobile feeding ceners available in adequate numbers to be rushed to any bombed area.
 These measures account, in large measure, for the fact that diseases due to deficiency in vitamns have not appeared In addition, all margarine is reinforced with Vitamns A and D, whole-wheat bread is being made available on grand scale and next year all white bread will be fortified with call cium and Vitamn B-1
 What effect the strain of total war will have eventually on the health of the British people is impossible to prophecy For the present and for the probable extent of the war British health is good.

 Then they began to forcibly take over the opera ion of the government ferry at night, when the regular operator was off duty The government sta- toned deputy marshal duty to protect the ferry from illegal use, but truckers alleged to have assaulted him and disarmed him. When the again brought to court, Grand Jury refused to ndict the truckers.
 Then the truckers brought injunction suit against the superintendent of the Alaska Road Con- mission the grounds of the toll regulation being void but the district court decided against them The truckers did not appeal this decision.
 This spring, the truckers built their ferry and ferry slips homestead sites abuttng the highway, on either side of the river and until gently have evaded the freight tolls by simply going around the government ferry, where the tolls collected.
 Then the Department of Justice authorized the stationng of two deputies at gate the high way at Shaw Creek 12 miles north of the ferry. The deputies given orders not to allow any truck to pass unless the driver could exhibit receipt for tolls paid at the ferry.
 The gate built and the deputies ready to start their work-then morning it found that someone had htched truck to the gate and pulled it from it's fastenings and destroyed it.
 So George Folta, and attorney representing the truckers got together to figure out peaceable method of settling the long dispute. If the regula tion allowing collection of the tolls is upheld in the court the truckers have agreed to pay back approx matey 25 percent of the tolls which they avoided by using their own ferry across the Panama In the meantime all tolls paid being held in escrow, until after the highest tribunal in the land has made decision on the case.
 Certainly, the trail through the courts of this toll will be closely watched by Alaskans.

JUDICIAL REFEREES

It may be commentary on the civilization of Alaska at any rate the bitter fight between truckers on the Richardson Highway and the Department of the Interior concerning the collection of tolls freight on the highway is going to be peacefully set tied in the United States Supreme Court
 At least that is the prospect right now, as the truckers pay tolls on their freight loads, with the understanding that the toll payments will be held in until after the court decision has been cast If the U S. Attorney Generals office approves the case it will be filed in Fairbanks soon. according to George Fota Alaskan attorney -at-large for the Department of the Interior. It is anticipated that the loser at Fairbanks will immediately appeal the to the U s. Supreme Court
 And thus will end of the most coorful fights against Federal regmentation in the current history of the Territory
 In 1892, when the Secretary of the Interior took the supervision of highways in the Territory he was empowered to make rules of highway use. in cuding the collection of tolls for hauling over the roads
 So he issued regulation, imposing tolls on freight on the Richardson Highway The tolls were to be collected at the ferry across the Panama River at McCarty, which was changed to the post office name of Big Delta because of it's similarity to Mc- Carthy. Tolls to be collected there it was de- eided because of the ease of collection The govern ment operated the ferry and there was no way of avoiding use of it.
 Last year, the truckers began to buck against paying the tolls They claimed the toll regulation was Void because they said it gave the Secretary of the Interior powers which had not previously been approved by Congress. They also pointed to the tolls as being negotiable, because they said freight could be hauled along the highway to any point between Valdez and the Panama River without payment of tolls
 In protest, they parked trucks across the high

 Personally, Douglas is content where he is. But last June, before departing on his vacation, he indi- cated he was ready to give up his lifetime job on the Supreme Court if the President summoned him.
 They were lunching together and as Douglas rose to leave, Roosevelt said: Have nice time, Bill. And hold yourself in readiness for a pos sible change when you get back. l may have to call on you to step into the defense picture"
 "Ill be ready whenever you say the word, MT. President" Douglas replied.

DEPARTMENT OF SUPPLY

Inner Administrationites, increas- ingly disturbed by the chaotic sit uation in Defense, have quietly re- newed pressure for the long overdue shake-up.
 They nave nau plan ready for months. Roosevelt has gone over it, discussed it, but has always laid it aside. Now with defense production continuing to drag and with arma- ment clamor from Army command CTS and Britain increasing, White House lieutenants are hopeful that the President will move.
 The plan calls for new depart ment called the Department of Supply"
 Headed by an executive of cabinet rank, this new department would take under its wing OPM, OPACS, Prlorities, the Defense Coordinator of Transportation, and all Army and Navy purchasing functions. The De- fense Mediation Board would remain an independent agency but continue to work in close collaboration with OPM as at present. The Defense Housing Cooordinator also would re- | main independent.
 Roosevelt has had such a depart ment in mind as far back as 1883, when by executive order he set up the Procurement Division within the Treasury. This was to be the first step In the gradual creation of a department to handle all govern ment purchasing, including the Army and Navy. But the late War and Navy Secretaries Dern and Swanson objected.

LIEUT.. COMMANDER WINCHELL


 Lieutenant Commander Walter Winchell, U. s. Naval Reserve, in spotless white uniform, buttons pol ished, slightly nervous, reported for duty the other day. Saluting brisk ly. he announced to Executive Of- ficer Lieutenant Wilson Starbuck that the famous Broadway column had been put on the shelf for a month, and he was ready for sea duty.
 Lieutenant Starbuck, kindly, court eous, wanted to put the naval rookie at ease. After several friendly uues- tions, he asked: Do you still write dramatic criticism, MT. Winchell?"
 "Yes - for The New York Mir ror.'
 Do you remember the show at the Maxine Elliott Theatre last year called Sea Dogs'?" asked Lieutenant Starbuck.
 Yes" replied Winchell And I remember what wrote about it. I said, It's rotten"
 q was the author" replied Win chell's executive officer. "As a mat ter of fact" he grinned, that is what all the other critics said.'
 Later Winchell was asked to fill out a blank regarding his various duties. But he was little nasty and Lieutenant Starbuck handed the paper back. Here, you forgot to fill in your 'peacetime occupation"
 Winchell filled out the form and handed it back It read "Peacetime Occupation: Dramatic critic"

STATE DEPARTMENT CONFERENCES

In these days of war, the public has the impression that the State Department is bursting with infor- nation for the press and that a press conference with Secretary Hull must be something to tell your grandchildren about.
 But here is about an average con- ference with the Secretary of State.
 Asked about German plane over Iceland, MT. Hull said he hadn't heard of it.
 Asked about his conversations with the French Ambassador. he said he had nothing especially new in mind.
 Asked about Ambassador Crews report from Tokyo, he said he had nothing more at this time.
 Asked about the U. s. mission to Russia, he referred the question to the White House Mf1e did add that Stalin was agreeable to having a conference.
 Other questions brought the an- swers that he had nothing on the subject, that he was not able to let the question pass. and that the ques- tioner should ask the Post Office Department.
 The only affirmative statement was to commend speech given by Jus tice Murphy to the Knights of Co., lumbus favoring aid to Russia. Copyright. 1941, by United Feature

 Benefic aspects rule today wher- ever there is buying and selling. Adverse planetary influences are active in the morning when delays and Instructions may be nerve wracking.
 HEART AND HOME: Discontent and unrest may mark the early hours today when the young may be inclined to resent what seems to them injustice in necessary de- fense and war regulations. Girls will be more strict in their rules safeguarding daughters who may be preoccupied with romance in which uniformed young men figure. Under the chaotic world conditions sensitive natures will react unhap- oily to strange, disquieting vibra- tionS.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Criticism of the state department and other branches of the Federal Govern ment may be expressed as reports of sales of oil and other commodi- ties to hostile nations continue to be disseminated American diplo- macy intended to encourage neu- trality or to enlist support for the Allies will cause resentment when curtailment of domestic needs are required. The seers declare tn at gain and not loss will result from commercial neutrality. rit
 NATIONAL ISSUES: With a closeup of war the United States will be aroused to extreme activity which will develop fierce antagofi- ism to well-meaning isolationists who have gathered substantial fOl- lowing Hatred of war is a charac- teristic of democracies and especi- ally of the United States, astrolo- gers emphasize, and for this reason tolerance should be practiced in the midst of frenzied preparations for national defense.

 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Bible students familiar with the prophecies disagree on the ques- tion whether this second world war is really Armageddon, mentioned only once in the Scriptures.

With the dawn of period in which the much-heralded Aquarian age will be foreshadowed human pro- gress is forecast.
