THE LAST CHECKMATE

Juneau folks who at one time lived around Skagt Valley in northwestern Washington, will probably remember Fred Ornes
 Certainly they will remember him if they were readers of their community weekly newspapers.
 veteran editor and publisher of weekly papers in that section, friendly Fred Ornes died last week in Mount Vernon at the age of TO- He died on a Sunday from sudden heart attack, which came upon him as he was busy with the activity which held second place to his newspapers in his affections chess.
 MT Ornes was supervising the annual Northwest Chess Tournament at the time his heart failed him. lover of the game, he largely responsible for the organization of the Northwest Chess Association and certainly the leader in keeping interest in the game active through the northern Puget Sound country during recent years The annual tourna- ment was one of his prime pleasures.
 Fred Ornes founded The Twin City News at Stanwood was later publisher of The Anacortes American and has for a number of years published The Mount Vernon Argus.
 His paper in Mount Vernon is a weekly and competes for circulation and advertising with daily paper in the same city. Yet because of the respect in which Skagit valley farmers have always held Fred Ornes and because, too, of the wisdom of his editorials and the excellence of his coverage of agri cultural news, The Mount Verion Argus has never taken back seat

that "a great deal~remains to be- done in Alaska by Alaskans to organize their unparalleled attractions on tourist basis--and then go after the business in terms of Chicago and New York"
 People in the states have heard lot about our splendid fishing in both fresh and salt water, and of course tales of big game hunting and the chance for splendid studies of wildlife to be found in Alaska have been widely circulated But just how often does the average tourist with the aver age income and modest amount to spend for a vaca- tion get a chance to do any of that fishing hunt ing or snapshot snapping?
 The wealthy sportsman or camera fend can always charter boat or plane to take him where the game is most thick and the scenery most grand But what is the couple who would spend from $0 to s35 on fishing trip or camping junket to do?
 In Washington, Oregon, and especially in South ern California, these arnusements would be made easy for them Live-bat boats from Santa Monica daily take loads of tourists for deepsea fishing trips supplying them with poles tackle and bait for small sum- If you want to go camping, busses will take you to the place where the trail into the tans leaves the highway and in many places there are cabins along these trails just days hike apart and
 There are probably a hundred of these tourists with moderate vacation budgets who would like to stop over between boats at Alaska city and take trip into the wds by themselves, for every one wealthy sportsman who can afford his outing on grand scale.
 Alaskans aren't making the most of their mar velous tourist attractions until they find of giving MT. and Mrs. Typical vacationer the sort of outing they will most enjoy and longest remember

 Lewis sought this control, first, to strengthen his recapture of the CIO presidency from ailing Phil Murray; second, to foster his po- litical ambitions as an anti-Roose- welt, isolationist champion.
 Crux of the undercover fight at Buffalo was control of the Auto Workers executive board, in which Lewis and his leftwing allies were defeated twice.
 Lewis also was floored on the question of the CIO presidency He couldn't afford to oppose a Murray endorsement openly, as he would be certain to be licked, which would be disastrous for Lewis. So Lewis henchmen tried desperately to avert any declaration on the question. But the anti-Lewisites outmaneu- vered them and the convention went on record overwhelmingly for another term for Murray.
 John L. also changed his secret plan to deliver surprise address at the meeting. This had been quietly arranged by George Adde's, JAW leftwing secretary treasurer, but sensing the anti-Lewis senti- ment at the very start, John L. did not show up. Instead Allan Haywood, CIO national organiza- tion director, went to Buffalo to try to do Lewis axing for him. Outstanding leaders of the convention were the young Reuther brothers, Victor and Walter, who led the successful fight against the Lewis-leftwing forces. Vice Presi- dent Richard Frankensteen, who before the convention did a lot of loud talking about how tough he was going to make it for the left ists, folded up and played hand in-glove with the Lewis clique.

TOURISTS ON BUDGETS

The Alaska tourist season is drawing swiftly to a close With the schools of the nation due to open week in most cities and rural sections the Ter ritorys best tourist customer the school teacher, must quit her travels and go back to work for the winter.
 The summer of l941 hasn't been the best tour ist season in history for Alaska but it has been at the Territorial Museum here show it one of the best years travel since the Wall Street crash
 The Alaskan cruise trip has lot more to offer the lazy tourist than almost any trip he could take. The traveller who wants to rest and avoid excitement and exercise can lo on steamer decks and see more other "effortless" trip available to him from the shores of North America.
 Perhaps however, Aaskans could of the active tourist types to north by providing them with facilities for getting out and doing things after they arrive in the Territory.
 Yesterday commented on the radio broadcast series of Todd Hunter, Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tenn news analyst, who visited Juneau during the past summer Hunter who reported things just as he found them here, commented that the tourist business in Alaska has been woefully neglected for territory that has much to offer in the way of scenery, fishing and hunting" .a
 Part of ths,' Hunter continued may be at tributed to the undeniable fact that boat and plane accommodations to Alaska are packed and jammed it is More such facilities needed. But coup led with this there is evidence to justify the belief

 Adverse planetary influences are strong today. Again there is an adverse sign for labor. Industry may be hampered because of wrong ideas regarding war policies.
 HEART AND HOME: Until eve ming women may find this day of difficulties, delays and even dis appointments. This is read as an suspicious date for entertaining on a large scale. It is fortunate for recreations provided for men in uniform. Girls will discover that romance flourishes under this sway which quickens sentiment and in- spires a desire for companionship, Engagements and marriages will be numerous as summer flirtations reach a close.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Housing again becomes a problem. Much home-b building will mark the early autumn when demand for small houses will be unusual. Refugee families will increase in number for it will be imperative to let down immigration bars. Purveyors oi food and clothing will profit. Bene- fits through national hospitality are prognosticated since Europeans oi talents and achievements will con- tribute greatly to American pro- gress. This is time for stubborn optimism. 'seH
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Teleyision is to become a factor in everyday life It will serve to bring to persons o1 every class vivid glimpses of worlc happenings.

AUTO CUT

That fanfared OPM cut of 26h percent in auto production drew no cheers from War Department chiefs. To them it was a big dis appointment.
 First of all the cut looks a lot bigger than it actually is. For one thing the OPM carefully did not reveal in it's hoopla press releases was the fact that even with this curtailment auto production still will be 10 percent greater than in 1888 and 1939
 In other words, notwithstanding the increasing shortage of strate- gic raw materials, such as steel, rubber, alloys and other metals, auto production is to continue at higher levels than in the peaceful years of '38 and '39.
 Another reason for the Army gloom was that it wanted an i'm mediate cut of at least 50 percent
 For months War Department heads pleaded and argued with OPM moguls for drastic curtail- ment, on the ground that the ma terials going into pleasure cars are desperately needed for planes. tanks, ships, guns and other vital ,arma- ments. But for months the OPM master minds did absolutely noth- ing. t@e
 Finally, in July scrappy OPACS Director Leon Henderson, who has seen eye-to-eye with the Army on this issue from the start, took the bull by the horns and for dered" 50 percent slash
 OPMs reaction was to hit the ceiling. It refused to accept the ruling. And while OPM battled be- hind the scenes with OPACS, au- tos continued to roll off assembly lines in record breaking numbers. However, Henderson's bare-knuck- ling finally took effect. The 26ls percent cut is a little less than half of what the Army and Hen derson wanted, but it is 6h per- cent more than OPM's original fig ure.

is an extremely important factor. Also, the necessity of travelling in slow conveys further reduces th e amount of shipping available. Some experts estimated this reduction as high as 50 percent. In addition the British sometimes take an exces- sively long time to unload cargoes.
 So the tank problem thus also becomes an acute shipping prob lem. One bright spot in the situa- tion is the great reduction in ship losses in the last 60 days since the extension of the U. S. neutrality patrols. But the basic problem of securing more cargo bottoms still remains.
 NOTE-Since January 1, U s. shipyards have turned out a total of 56 cargo vessels.
