borne, chairman Of the State utilities
commission. and the T. V. A. are
praying for rain, and lots of it, be-
tween now and December |.
Plentiful doWnpourings are about
all that can staVc off necessity for
iioning in the southeastern states.
Also these dcVoutly-Wished rams, If
they m~aterialilc, would take T. V. A.
off a real spot and would end the
prospcct that North Carolina must
share some Of its Wlsely-proNlded
power with less proVldent states.
What all this means is that the
second battle of Atlanta" the pow
or conference in the Georgia capital
Tuesday, was fought to something Of
a Stalemate. 1t brought the very
strange alignment Of Mr., Wlnbornc
and the Federal T. V. A. on the same
side, and that at the decisive stage.
AS outlined to your reporter by
Mr., Winborne, here's a brief story
of the conference:
Officials Of the states of Georgia
and Alabama wanted an order from
the federal power commission call
ing for a drastic curtailment of pow
cr use, November San order which
would be followed as a natural result
by another order forcing North Car
DINA to share its power with less
favored states.
T. V. \. officials opposed this on
the grounds that their hydro plans

| supply power until December |, at
least. They contonded there's no
point in applying immediate cur
tailmcnt orders, because 1t always
rains in November and if this yeal
follows pattern there will be enough
rainfall to restore something Ike
normal power production.
Then it was that Mr.. Wlnbnrne
ordinarily a sharp critic of the |

provide any auxiliary steam plant'

A Lane" Through the Nazi Blockade?
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 In World War I, Admiral Sims, American induced the British to adopt the convoy system of protecting merchant vessels. He thereby probably saved England from near starvation.
 Now Americans are reported urging the British to abandon conveys which are proving inadequate in this war These U. S. advisers to Britain said to favor lane system to replace conveys. Under this plan the British Navy would assign 50 desroyers to patrol the Great Circle route from Labrador to the British Isles.
 Forty destroyers would be duty 24 hours a day while 10 would be refueling Each destroyer would have 50-mile stretch which it would tra- yerse 10 times every "A hours No merchant ship would ever be more than an hour away from de- stroyer.
 This system has obvious advantages over the convoy plan In conveys, the whole group must travel at the pace of the slowest ship When at lacked by surface raiders much as 35 percent of ships in a convoy have been sunk. Also conveys make better targets for air attacks carried out at great heights
 The disadvantage of the "lane system is that would require fast well-armed destroyers, rather han the armed merchantmen which the British are using to escort conveys. These destroyers are needed in the North Sea- the Mediterranean and elsewhere.
 Establishment of lane system" across the North Atlantic raises in another the question of more U s. destroyers for Britain. It even sug- gests the desrability of the U S. Navy protecting ,he western half of the lane.
 This is of the most practical suggestions for overcoming the German air-submarine blockade that has been advanced in a long time. If the United States help break this blockade it should do sc There is no point in a-out aid to Britain if the aid IS going to the bottom of the Atlantic.
 Figures released last week show that nearly 5O0O00O tons of shipping have been sunk by the Nazs since the war began.
 Britain cannot stand that pace indefinitely The rate of loss must be cut before the end of 1941 if Britain is to fight off the Nazi threat to the world

Safety Lies in Strength, Unity
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

The imminence of disaster to British and GreeK forces in the Balkans and the threat from Tokyo that Japan and the United States will be at war by June lend new meaning to defense efforts upon the Pacific Coast
 There is no discounting the seriousness of the international situation. Yet there is one cause for qualification National leadership has foreseen the possibilities. The nation is striving nightly toward full preparedness.
 Especially is this true upon the Pacific Coast A few years ago Alaska almost entirely undefend- ed. Today Army and Navy air bases are taking form, to protect territory of immense value from a material standpoint and of even greater impor- ance when it's strategic possibilities considered
 Arpane factories and shpyards are humming with activity. And of greater importance, eventually, may be the newly concluded arrange ments by which the facilities and resources of the United States and Canada will supplement each other in all matters connected with North American defense.
 The United States has striven to build up its defenses in the hope that may be kept from our shores. Whether the American peace may be pre- served is still open question. But today there can be dspung the assertion that to the extent that we are strong the safety of territory and our people will be advanced.
 Citizens of the United States appreciatng, as never before the necessity for armed strength. ona unity and the willingness to sacrifice that will bring this land the highest degree of safety that is possible in today's war-torn world.

CIO MEDIATION SUBS

The President has been under considerable public criticism for ap- pointing CIO leaders to the National Defense Mediation Board. But the public doesn't know the half of it.
 Real fact is that CIO members Phil Murray and Thomas Kennedy have been sending in unauthorized substitutes to act for them on the board. Except for the first meeting, when they sat for their pictures, Murray ard Kennedy have been conspicuous by their absence.
 Anticipating this, the President, when he set up the board, designated an alternate for each of the Il members. The CIO alternates were Emil Rieve, head of the textile workers. and Clinton Golden, re- gional director of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee: If these two always filled in for Murray and Kennedy, there would be no com plaint
 But more often than not, Murray designates pinch-hitters who, tech- nically, have no right to sit on the board. Among them have been AL

TERRITORIAL BASES

The island bases of the United States are now considered our best safeguard against invasion. But Army and Navy brasshats will get a scorching rebuke in report soon to be made public by the House Ap- propriations Subcommittee that n- spected territorial bases.
 Written by Representative James c. Scrugham of Nevada, Chairman of the group, the report will Vigor- ously recommend the immediate creation of an independent air force" This would be intended to correct two chief abuses:
 D The location of army and navy bases almost side by side in flat. unprotectd country, thus "n- viting destruction by enemy bombs @ Failure to build hangars, repair shops and other facilities under ground.
 Regarding the first criticism the Scrugham report will state. This policy of concentrating highly es- sential military or industrial struc- lures in very limited areas cannot be too strongly condemned, and may constitute an error of grayest con- sequences. This is as true in our

MUSSELS-OPPORTUNITY FOR
 ALASKA

Mussels-not the manly, but the marine, variety tone of the most abundant of sea foods, furnishes example of waste of natural resources in America through failure to it."
 The quotation. furnished by the Fish and Wild life Service characterized the situation with regard to this first cousin of the clam and oyster quarter of a century ago and pretty well characterizes it today. Only about s2OOOO worth of mussel meats were produced for the entire United States last year the New York market swallowing up almost the entire total
 This is a strange state of affairs, in view of the fact recognized by gourmets, diettians and scien- lists that mussels best and abundant" sea food In a single year, England Holland and France among them produced and delighted epicures with half billion pounds of these juicy shelfsh There may be opportunity here for Alaska, which has mussels in abundance, all neglected merciany at the present time. Most persons con- slider mussels either inedible or unpalatable. Quite the contrary is true we are assured
 As of natures most easily digested foods, equal or superior in flavor either clans oysters mussels cheap and easily taken The quan- tty of actual nutrment contained in the edible DOT tions is slightly greater than in oysters and clans. The mussel contains at least as much food pound for pound as is found in related sheltfish in com use
 From the consumer standpoint sea mussels have
 
 out and in the New England and Middle Atlantic states where they best known, are in prime con- dition from December to July. The human body use practically all of the nutriment contained in the meats and liquor of mussels, and persons of weak digestion have found that they eat them with impunity when other foods distress. Being palatable, nutritious, digesble, wholesome and cheap, mussels could be food for rich and poor the well and the sick
 Preparation Of muSSels is said to be simple. The consumer should make sure, in gathering pur chasing them that the typical blue-black shells are tightly closed They should be washed well before cooking They opened with knife like clans steamed open. The only inedibe part, except the she'll is the little tuft of black hairs known the byssus, beard, which is readily detached after cooking Mussels may be cooked in the ways as oysters and clans and in other ways distinctly their We have seen recipes. for instance, for fried mussels a la Colbert, mussel chowder, New England style, mussels the half shell la Mar iniere, pickled musses sea musses a la Newburg, mussel broth mussel bsque and musses and rice provincial

territorial as well as our continental defenses.
 The lesson of the destruction of the Polish air force by the Germans at the beginning of the war seems to have gone entirely unheeded (by the aeronautic bureau chiefs re- sponsible). In flat country, pro- tected air facilities may be imprac- tical, but where there are adjacent hills, it seems ineXcuSable to de- llberately build |. bases invitingly located for bombing attacks, and so closely together that an enemy plane can hit one if it misses the other. Everywhere the story is the same, from Hawaii to Puerto Rico, from Alaska to the Virgin Islands, Jam aica and Trinidad Also, no ade- quate plans have been formulated for water reserves, except to con- tract for drilling a few wells, with grave uncertainties as to quality and quantity"
 Scrugham's conclusions will be that a tragedy of the first magni- tude" may develop unless immediate steps are taken to rectify conditions at the territorial bases. His solution IS the centralization of all military air forces under a single head with Cabinet rank.
