BAKER SPEAKS
TO LOCAL UNIT
AMERICAN RED eros

ASAAAA@@-@@
Reporting that the Red Cross is
now on a war time basis and equip
ped for immediate action, if neces-
sary, Henry M. Baker, assistant man
ager for the Pacific area, American
Red Cross, spoke to a group of
WrangelI citizens while in Wrangell
last weekend.
Baker suggested that Wrangell or
ganize Red Cross First Aid course,
instructed by DR.. J. H. Clements
with the view of training instruc-
tors for future classes. He commend
ed the local chapter for its fine vol
unteer service production under Mrs
E. C. Anderson's craftsmanship, and
pointed out that the Red Cross acts
as a medium between Army, Navy
and civilians, handling enlisted
mems furloughs ETC., and urged the
local chapter elect a Home Service
chairman.
Under Civil Defense, of which
Governor Gruening is chairman in
Alaska, Mr.. Baker said Red Cross
activities consisted of providing
food, shelter, clothing and medical
care resulting from any emergency
such as fires or air raids and should
be prepared for any such emergency.
He mentioned that of 369 Red Cross
shipments to England on commercial
vessels only IL have been lost so
far.
Baker left Monday to continue his
trip which will take him to all parts
of the Territory.

KNUDSEN CALLS FOR
GREATER AMERICAN EFFORTS

WASHINGTON, July - William
S. Knudsen in a speech this week
called upon the Nation for greater
toll, sweat and sacrifice that "our
children may be ensured against de-
potism and slavery" Noting that
Friday is the Fourth of July, when
the Nation rejoices in its freedom,
the director-general of the 0PM
said, perhaps all Americans do not
realize the ugly fact that this free
dom Is being threatened"

HI LnnEYl

It's Lieutenant, Senior Grade,
Tony Schwamm now, USNR, ac-
cording to word received this week
by Wrangell and Petersburg's well
known pilot.
Lieut., Schwamm, formerly an ar
my pilot, trained at Brooks (Ran-
dolph) and Kelly Fields in Texas in
1926 and held a First Lieutenant's
rating. He transferred to the Naval
Reserve and his new promotion
gives him a higher rating than his
discarded army silver bars.

Americans can hardly be expect

the removal OF the alleged pro-Axis
President Arnolfo Arias and the
establishment. of what is considered
a pro-Dsmocrst government.
Considerable apprehension has
been telt here over the political sit
nation IN Panama ever since Arias
became president a year ago. Great
est concern was felt about canal
defense WORK. Many questions re-
Earding the Canal Zone have re-
NAMED unsettled. including the con-
struction Of defense highways

OF most immediate interest is
the new governments attitude with

Panamanisn cabinet in prohibiting
the srming of foreign owned ships
under Psnamsnian registry. There
are 104 Amsrican-owned ships IN

% them already have been provided
with guns. The situation is one OF
the reasons given by President
Roosevelt for wishing 10 amend the

Of each OF such states. Or else
or else what?
Well. suppose state has, say,
ten congressman, chosen by their
respective districts, and suppose
that state gains a congressman,
but doesn't redistrict itself. In
that event it continues to elect its
original ten by districts, as before,
but the eleventh is elected at large
that is, by the whole state, like
a senator.
There usually are at least two
or three congressman at large on
Capitol Hill and occasionally a
state, which has grown rapidly and
been derelict in redistricting, has
more than one.
Two Lost in Discard
But suppose a state, with a con-
gresham at large, having fallen
a bit behind in its proportionate
population growth, loses a seat,
but doesn't redistrict. That state
simply has its congressman at
large Topped off. Some years ago
Illinois and Ohio actually did lose
a congressman apiece, but each
had two at large, and one Of each
went into the discard, their pair
of delegations remaining otherwise
unchanged. II was rather painful
for congressman who-were
cancelled, but didn't make much
difference as to the general con-
gressional alignment.
However, suppose a state with
no congressman at large loses a
seat and doesn't redistrict. Then
that states whole delegation is
chosen at large at the next cleo
ton.
Such is Pennsylvania's Ak at

the opposite hand. the Republicans
are hopeful that they can recover
their old-time control of the COM

Disposed TO Gamble
They both show signs of a dis
position to take a chance on it.
OF course, a congressman in an
area that's safely his way greatly
prefers redistricting in his own in
terest to accepting a doubtful
statewide risk, but the higher-ups
take more comprehensive view.
A number Of other states aren't
redistricting, but there's no other
state in which such bloc Of seats
is at stake.
II that particular one doesn't re-
district, it may decide the partisan
color Of the next house Of repre-

the entire country.

entire issue.
