 ArmOry Misrepresentation
 A good deal of misrepresenta- tion about these armories was propagated by the Lobby As far as the public has an opportunity to express itself, it registered the attitude of patriotic Americans The people of Nome, in a mass meeting, enthusiastically endors- ed the armories and when Repre- sentative Shattuck in an endeaV- or to bolster up his opposition to them sent a wire to the Nome Chamber of Commerce asking ii to follow the position taken by the Juneau Chamber in disap- proving the arrnories bill, he re ceived a merited rcbuke in a mes sage which said the Nome Cham Der of Commerce did not care to oppose the unanimous eXpres- sion" of the people of Nome and added we realize with them the necessity and urgency of coopera tion with the Federal Govern ment which is spending millions. Shall be be blinded by selfish in terest and offer no sacrifice to- ward preparation to defend our homes?"
 Yet Cochran and Sullivan who owed their election chiefly to the people of Nome, did everything in their power to delay, obstruct and finally to kill this national defense and civic msasure.
 Chambers of Commerce are mo- tably conservative; they object to expenditures, often, in Alaska, it would seem, unWisely, when certain expenditures are really community investments which will bring better living condi- tions, more business activity and more revenue to their towns. But fact is that a number of our Chambers of Commerce are con- trolled by resident lobbyists, men whose one and only loyalty is to their absentee employers, whose patriotism is only to their pocket book. Yet the Chambers of Ketchikan, Fairbanks and Nome all endorsed the armories bill. Anchorage and Juneau did not. Juneau witnessed the de pressing spectacle of one or two of it Heading citizens employ ing every means to defeat mo- tion before the Chamber to sup port the only bill before the Lzg islature to build the armories re- quired. Of course patriotism that consists merely in breast-beating and fag-waving on holidays, but balks at a single cent of eXpendi ture, especially of his absentee clients, is the type which has made the rise of totalitarianism possible in the world. When Adolf Hitler, in one of his ire quent sneers at the free institu tions of our world, declared, De mocracies are impotent; while they talk, I act; they value their ease and wealth above all else, he could have found here in Al aska recently a confirmation of that caustic condemnation of dem ocracies.

Hints To Gardeners by Gordon Morrison
 Vegetable Expert

According to national gardening leaders, the countrys home-garden output is now far under that Of 1917, with only about half as many gardening families now as then.
 Tn the face of these facts, home gardeners are advised to do two things: Plan to devote increased space to vegetable gardening in the coming season; and perfect plans for the i94l garden so as to get the greatest possible yield from the space available.
 Tn stepping up yield from vege. table gardens of limited size, two major devices should be relied on: First, companion cropping - the planting of fast-growing crops like radishes and onions and lettuce be- tween rows of slower growing veg etables like tomatoes and spinach and cabbage. The fast growers VIII be pulled and used before the other crops need the space.
 Second, succession cropping - the repeated planting of major crops such as beans, sweet corn, radishes, carrots, beets, lettuce. Moderate size, new plantings made at regular intervals during the early part of the season will provide a steady supply of the fresh vegetables until seasons end.
 More frequent plantings can be made of the faster-maturing vege- tables like radishes and lettuce, than of slower maturing items like sweet corn and carrots. Care must be taken, when planting succession crops, to plant only as much as can be used before 8 succeeding plant. mg is ready to pe harvested.

IHENDEY STRIKE WILL CONTINUE
Workers Want Federal Arbitration; [; Request to
 Return Is Refused
Special to The Denocrat)

Torrington, Sept. ll-Striking em- ployes at the Hendey Machine con- pany showed no disposition today to back down on their stand adopted at meeting last night at which time 1t was voted to remain out on strike until definite assurance of ar- bitration by the National Media ton Board is assured.
 Both state and federal concilia- tors have been sitting in with rep resentatives of the company union and the management this week In an effort to bring about settle- lnent of differences which arise from Q demand on the part of the union for a closed shop. The man. agement refuses to grant this re- quest and has also withdrawn an of- fer of 6 5-cent an hour increase made last week. The union Is not asking any wage increases with its closed shop demand.
 More than 800 of the plant work CTS gathered at the City Hall last night and voted to stay out on strike despite the fact that Alex Me- Gowan, regional director of the In- ternational Union of United Auto mobile Workers, with which the lo- cal union is affiliated, said: "The international union takes the posi- tion that the strike should be called off immediately, since 1t was defi- nitely @ violation of the contract with the company which expired in June."
 Other JAW officials also voiced a similar request, but they were all turned down last night.
 Participating in Q company union conference yesterday were Morgan R. Mooney, deputy state labor con- missioner, and Edward McDonald, conciliator for the U. s. Department of Labor, as well as company of- ticials and the shop negotiating committee.

redistribution of weight. Now the extra weight is in the front, due to the engine and the steady moving of the passengers forward. To move the weight to the rear would rear range the weight of the whole car. It would change the tractive effort of the rear wheels, change the steer ing, and call for entirely new bodies with the millions of dollars worth of new tools and dies that would be required. As long as the defense emergency continues, rear-mounted engines are out of the question.
 Another major factor in cutting down weight and thereby stepping up economy is the plastic body. Ford recently exhibited a new car with plastic body, but production of such cars is not on the immedi- ate horizon. It is true that many small parts are now made of plas- tic but not sufficient to make any difference in weight. AS with rear mounted engines, there are many production problems to be worked out on plastic bodies, involving a full set of new machine tools equip ment. This again is an impossible ity now with machine tools form ing one of the chief bottle-necks of the defense program.
 Another slight hitch is the ten- dency of plastic to disintegrate at low temperatures. A motorist up in cold New England. northern Mime sota or the Dakotas would get the shock of his life if he wer driving along in his plastic auto on nice sunshiny sub-zero day and all of sudden his car fell to pieces like the wonderful one-horse shay.
