FomiIy's Experiences

Any young couple can find "op-
portunities, fun and adventure" In
Alaska, members of the National
Geographic Society were told last
night by William Albee. who, with
his wife and two small children re-
turned recently from 10 years Of
wandering through the Yukon.
A color movie depicting the fam
ily's adventures was shown to mem
bers of the society last night and
Mr.. Albee lectured on life in the
Far North.
These regions are not reserved
for rugged individuals" he declared
ANY normal young couple can find
opportunities, fun and adventure up
there, If only they have the right
point of view-that same point OF
view that our forefathers had when
they settled these United States"
Mr.. and Mrs. Albee were employed
as teachers by the Office of Indian
Affairs. Besides teaching 48 Eskimo
children they had to manage a herd
Of $4,000 reindeer, supervise native
cooperative store, act as postmaster,
secretary to the village council, ad-
ministrator for a P. w. A. project
and see that the Eskimos got medi-
cal treatment.
Their films showed a trip they
made during their summer vacation

Through woods and over streams
lakes and valleys the party made its
way. averaging to II miles between
sunup and sundown
They lived largely of the land
feasting on ducks, grouse, rabbits,
fish, wild berries and vegetables
The rain, which fell one day out of
three, and the mosquitoes, which are
mans worst enemy in the region
were the only things which marred
the trip.
The rivers and lakes supplied
drinking water as well as bathing
facilities-at temperatures around
so degrees. They Travelled light and
built RATS when it was necessary to

Germany Is Reported
Seeking Balkan Peace

SOFIA, Jan. 18 GA highly
reliable informant said last night
that Germany was endeavoring to
end the Italian-Greek war by
negotiations in Athens.
One informant suggested the
presence of German troops in Ru-
mania was part of diplomatic
argument" designed to spur peace
negotiations with Greece.
In Berlin, authorized sources
said there was no change what
ever in German relations with
Greece, and therefore it could
be denied, they said, that Ger
man diplomatic activity had
been intensified in Athens. Ger
many has maintained her nor
NAL mission in Athens through
out the Greek-Italian hostili-
tieS)
German sources here did not rule
out the possibility of armed Nazi
intervention in the Greek Italian
war, but declared Germany GER
tainly would welcome peaceful
settlement.
1t was believed by some infor-
mants here that Germany in at
tempting to negotiate peace would
indorse proposals that Greece rea-
sonably could accept even if they
gave Italy poor return for her
war efforts.
These sources pointed out it OBJ
viously was to Germanv's interest
to prevent an Italian rout, and that
aid and advice to italy was directed
to that end.
There have been some reports
that part of the negotiations were
being carried on in Sofia following
a series of visits to the Foreign
Office here the last three days by
German, Greek, Yugoslav and So
Wet ministers.

Glass Believes u. ).
Should Declare War
On Germany Now
But He Adds Thot State,
War and Navy Experts
Should Determine Matter

By The Associated Press.
Senator Glass, Democrat. OF Vir-
ginia said today it was his personal
view that the United States should
declare war on Germany now, but
he added the question was one
which should be determined prl-
marily by policy experts in the State.
War and Navy Departments.
The 83-year-old Virginian, who
has criticized many administration
measures, but has supported Rres!-
dent Roosevelts foreign policy, was
selected by the Democratic Steering
Committee yesterday for member
ship on the Foreign Relations Com
mittee which will handle the ad-
ministration's aid-to-Britain legis-
lation in the Senate.
In an interview he declared that
he would like to declare war on
Germany at once, 80 far as am
personally concerned"
But I don't know whether that
would be strategically advisable.
he continued. ut is a matter pri-
marily for the experts of the State
Department and the Army and
Navy.
Their opinion should carry great
weight"
Senator Glass added that he
would like to see Hitler at the
bottom of the sea"
The Virginia Senator previously
has expressed the view that this
Nation would be justified in send
ing its vessels into war zones to
carry goods to the British-trans-
portation now barred by the Neu-
trality Act. He also has argued
that the United States justiflablv
could escort conveys Of supply ships
to Great Britain.
Meanwhile, Senator Nye, Repuo-
lican, of North Dakota reiterated
his contention that 30 Senators
would vote now for declaration
of war if the President asked. Sem
ator Nye said that administration
efforts have been designed to lead
US into war" and that administra
ton leaders had managed to build
| up some war sentiment" in Con-
! greSs.
But, he declared, the country's
feeling is growing against war. This
gradually will bring about chance
in congressional sentiment, he de-
clared.

Defense Mobilization
Should Have a SinqIe
Head, Baruch Says
System Of Compulsory
Priorities and Ceiling
On Prices Also Urged
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Bernard
M, Baruch, chairman of the War
Industries Board during the World
. War. has advocated to important
industrial leaders that mobilization
for total defense should be entrusted
. to single head, it was learned yes
terday.
Mr.. Baruch, who at a private
meeting December 9 spoke to a
group of industrialists and econo-
. mists under the auspices of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board,
allowed his remarks to be made
public.
Authority for defense mobilization
IS now shared by William s. Knud-
sen, formerly president Of General
Motors Corp, and Sidney Hillman.
representing labor in the defense
effort.
While the World War production
car mentioned neither of these men
by name. he cited this rule of 1917-18
setup:
COMMITTEES for counsel, a single
responsible head for action"
Other Steps Recommended.
Other steps which MIR. Baruch
recommended included a strict sys-
tenn of compulsory priorities over
men, money, materials and trans
portation; a ceiling" on prices, with
changes to be made only with the
consent of a Government body;
limitation on profits and payment
of as high a proportion as possible
of defense cost through increased
taxation.
Taxation should be increased to
pay as we go as far as possible
and I think we can go very far"
Mr. Baruch said.
He said price fixing was a neces-
sary outcome of a system of priori-
ties for Government needs over
those of the ordinary consumer, and
that of all the methods suggested
"I know OF none which has so few
objections as that of placing a CELL
ing over all prices of goods, services,
rents, everything, as of date be-
fore declaration of war, when there
is some relationship between the
activities within and without the
Nation, such as now"
This system, he said, 'is pres
ervation of a natural determina-
ton" while any attempt to fix indi-
vidual prices of specific goods or
services is "a substitution of a
collection of artificial determina-
tions."
Labor Draft Unnecessary.
Regarding labor, Mr.. Baruch said:
I'VE heard much talk about labors
demands. There are certain stat
utes on the books. They should be
observed and modified only in an
emergency. War should be no
reason for changing any status quo
ante unless it should become self
evident"
Mr.. Baruch recalled that in 1917
1o the Government had not at
tempted to tell workers where or
for whom to work, but that it had
insisted on the principle work
or fight"
"The draft of men for industrial
employment is not only impossible,
It is wholly unnecessary" was the
World War plan and was adequate
today, Mr.. Baruch indicated.
Labor already has an agency
within the Government and on the
present Defense Commission. I
think labor should be given broader
representation in the conduct OF
the war" Mr.. Baruch said.
