NSViitthuCu AiolIt EiSCSuAlB EdBSi firms that have been getting the cream of defense contracts.
 They want the new plants located near theirs, so that when the national emergency Is over the companies can absorb the plants easily and cheaply.
 This issue has caused sharp clashes behind the closed doors of the Defense Commission. Chester Davis, agriculture coordina.or, backed by Leon Henderson, price control, Sidney Hillman, labor, and Miss Harriet Elliott, consum- CTS, have repeatedly stormed against Army and Navy plant awarels-but the brass hats listen politely and then do as they please.
 Usually siding with them have been William Knudsen and Ed- ward R. Stettinius, the two big industry members of the Commis- sion. Knudsen sometimes comedies the logic of Davis arguments, but shrlnks from overruling the military.
 NOT FOR ELWOOD
 A typical example of the Navys attitude was the case of Elwood, Ind, home town of Wendell Will Hie, which has been a ghost city since the big tin mill shut down. Badly needing a new industry, and strategically located, the city did It's part toward securing an ordnance factory by getting Q low price for the vacant mill.
 So the Navy located its new ordnance plant in Indianapolis, where 1t promptly ran into the irate opposition of the citizenry.
 The Army, on its part submit- ted nine sites to the Defense Com- mission, six of them in crowded, exposed Eastern centers. When Davis and his group protested, the Army replied that contracts already were drawn and it would take weeks to change them. In other words, the Commission had no choice except to approve what the brass hats had decided on.
 The bulk of Army and Navy contracts had gone to five areas the Eastern seabOard, Ohio Valley, Southern Cali fOrnia, Birmingham, Ala, and Kansas City. Biggest lump dur ing first six months of rearma- ment went to New Jersey, with Massachusetts second and vir- ginia third.
 Three Western states, Idaho, . Montana and North Dakota, didn't get a dimes worth. Me- braska got $5,00O. Other dis tressed areas have likewise been ignored.
 FLORIDA SHIP CANAL
 Roosevelt has told them he favors a bill to authorize con- struction of the canal, provided no appropriation is asked for. He wants no more drains on the Treasury at the present time.
 This gives FIeridians a tOe- hold, and they are not Asking any more. But they don't want the issue tangled up with the St. Lawrence waterway fight.
 A number of Senators, other. wise favorable to the Florida canal would vote against 1t # it meant swallowing the St. Law. renee project too. These include, Senators Connally and Sheppard of Texas. overton and Eilender of Louisiana, George and Russell of Georgia. and Radcliffe Of Maryland.
 NOTE -s5 ,925. 900 already has been spent on preliminary work on the Florida canal. and Sen. aioF sheppard Of Tsxas has in- Iroduced a new bill 10 authorize iis completion.

The Rev. Hubbard Men. lions Two Harbors for
 Subs in Territory

LOS ANGELES, April 28 The Rev. B. R. Hubbard. Glacier priest" in an interview Saturday night said: Nobody could invade Alaska against ordinary defense Nothing is more improbable. The climate of the Aleutians and the rocky islands of Alaska is so con- trary to air activity as to prevent it" @
 The Rev. Hubbard is cooperating with the defense program, supply ing the War Department with data on the climate and geography Of Alaska. The alarmist things che hears nowadays about thi country being in danger simply amaze me- he said. Alaska can be held easily by the first bunch that gets in there. We are already there. The Army has good de- fense program in the Aleutians. however there are two fine harbors at Kiska and Adak which should have submarine bases. Submarines are better than airplanes because of weather"
 Kiska is an island in the Rat Island group near the tip of the Aleutians. Adak is an island in the Aleutians east of KiSka.

cennial census taken in Alaska has become known under such terms that the membership of each house will be limited to eighteen as in the present bill.
 New Districts
 One further provision of the bill gives new authority to the Legisla- ture to establish geographical legis- lative districts from which members of the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives may be elected, to pre- scribe the boundaries of such dis tricts, and to make necessary pro visions for the election of members to the Legislature from such dis tricts Many citizens of Alaska think it is desirable to have comparatively small legislative districts for the election of individual members Of the Legislature. Under the present system of divisions, it has been found that sometimes all or nearly all of the members of the Legisla ture from division will be residents of one city. This feature of the bil gives home-rule power not now pos sessed
 Membership of 36
 The Alaska Legislature, under the proposed bill, will have a total membership of thirty-six, while the present Legislature has only twen- ty-four members. This is appropriate in view of the fact that the popula ton of Alaska increased 22.3 per cent during the decade between 1929 and 1889. and that since the taking of the census of Alaska in 1889, the Territory has gained several thou sand in population. There is every prospect that a similar rate of in- crease will be experienced during the next ten years. Accordingly, a total legislative membership of 3t is not out of proportion to the pres ent population of Alaska and will b5 even more modest when compares with the greatly increased porula ton expected in the near future.
 American Legion Idea
 Tt is deserving of note that az long ago as 1885, the American Legion Department of Alaska, a it's Sixteenth Annual Convention adopted a resolution urging propor- tional representation in the Legisia- ture and inviting attention to rht declaration on that subject em' braced in the Ordinance of 178T governing the Northwest Territory Ohio and adjoining States) by say ing, It is therefore, hereby resolv-

Division There is every prospect that the disparity in numbers be- tween the populations of the several divisions will increase. In fact, it is certain that since the 1940 census was taken in Alaska (and it was actually taken in 1939) the popula- tions of the First and Third Divi- sions have materially increased out of all proportion to increases in some other parts of Alaska.
 Population to Be Guide
 The only remedy which is in harmony with democratic principles lies in the distribution of legislative representation in accordance with population. This is sought to be achieved in the bill introduced by providing for membership of IS in each of the houses of the Terri torial Legislature and further pro- viding that one member shall be elected from each judicial division to each of the two houses for each 4,000 of the population of such divi- sion, or major fraction thereof. The use of 4,000 as a population unit gives to the most sparsely settled division, the Second Division the same total representation in the Legislature which it enjoys at pres ent. Under this plan, the four divi- sions will have memership in EACH

Since the houses are to be equal in number, the representation from each division is the same in each house For example, at the present time, the Second Division has four members in the House and two in the Senate, of total of six Under the new bill, it will have three in the House and three in the Senate, again total of six.

ports about amazing cures" for arthritis 1t is
becoming more apparent as each day goes
by. that there is no specific for this dis
ease. Many things can cause it and many
things may--in some cases-aid 1t.
But the best of all treatment say ply

When the doctors say rest for arthrius
they mean much more than what the lay
man usually thinks of the word. Rest to a
doctor goes way beyond the mere cessation
of activity. To a doctor rest means the re-
storaton of circulation in the tiny blood YES
sells under the skin. 1t means the removal of
strains on painful joints which allows them
to get over their in1amed conditions and
start processes of repair. 1t means the relax
alton of the nervous system so that nervous
energy will not be dissipated in maintaining
muscle tone; a relaxed muscle needs less
nervous energy than one which is taut and
ready TO work And rest permits the body TO
turn food into energy without using that
energy up in mere physical activity.
