WHEN The bidding lnolcates

hold all Of the high honors that

pay you to count on his partner

WHITE HOUSE CALLER

A man dressed in old clothes neatly alarmed, came to the White House gates at seven o'clock the other evening, declared that he had a message sent him by an angel warning that Roosevelt would suf- fer a violent death if he got the country into war.
 "Oh yeah?" said the policeman at the gate. And who are you?'
 T am seventh cousin of tht President, and I must see him be. fore it is too late
 Gently but firmly, the police es corted the caller to less comfort able quarters than the White Hous, and booked him as mentally de ranged.
 NOTE-In addition to guards in side the White House grounds, ; policeman is detailed every nigh between Il pm. and am. to driv, constantly around and around tn mansion looking for suspicion characters.

WHEN TO APPROPRIATE?

That was interesting suggestion made tn other day by the Board of Budget that the Legis- lature pass the regular appropriation bill within the first 30 days of the session.
 It could be done of course. In the past it never has It is always the last bill to be passed usually after the session is according to all the clocks in Alaska except the in the Legislative halls, which have been stopped just before midnight Clearly this no way to conduct business which nowadays has payroll of than two million dollars year. Appropriation measures should be afforded more careful study than this method per- mits
 The Empire yesterday carried story from Wash ngton that the independent office supply bill had been passed by the House. This measure is the national equivalent of the Territorial appropriation bill The 77th Congress has been in session less than a month. The budget not submitted until several days after the opening. And the bill has already passed the House. Surely if measure as complex and covering as broad field national appropriation bill be whipped into shape and passed in three weeks, Territorial appropriation bill could be completed in the same time.
 Our prediction, however, is that the Legislature will pass the appropriation bill usual, the last day of the session

One of Vice President Jack Gar ners last chores before leaving Washington was to find a job for Tom Hardy. his veteran chauffeur Hardy drove the late Vice President Charley Curtis and his one-time rip-sncrting predecessor. Charles Dawes : Inside reason why the California Republicans in the House took the unusual step of bouncing Representative Albert Car ter as chairman oi their delegation was the piling up of personal re- sentiments, over 2 number of years. When the numbering, socially-am- bilious Oaklander was axed, his California colleagues received many private congratulations from other members. =. As in the historic arms embargo battle of November,

about $700000,000 and that about $290,O000O0 of Federal funds will be diverted for this purpose
 Charles F. Palmer, who has been acting as housing coordinator for the National Defense Ad- visory Commission, steps into the chief responsibility for this task with his appointment by the President to head the newly created Division of Defense Hous- ing Coordination He will have to be tactfu as well as forcefu for some communities fearful of overbulding with consequent drop in real estate values and there is bound to be tug of between those who wish to build for the duration only and those who wish to build for permanence
 Probably middle way will have to be found and here it will be useful to consider the possibilities of pre-fabricated demounable housing that could be utilized elsewhere than at the point of its construc ton after the present emergency is over Mir Palmer and his advisers will be wise if they build with local problems in mind, do not ask too much of commun- ties in the form of extended services and strike as hard blow as they can at the shacks and sums

 There will be unduy suspicious persons 70 doubt, who read of the departure of American soldiers for Newfoundland with fear and trembling They have heard much about sending American boys o foreign lands to fight; and they know that New oundland is foreign land. If they better in- ormed than most, they will even know that New foundland is definitely foreign, and not a part oi Canada
 The sending of American troops, in reality has very different meaning. It is measure of defense l the best and most realistic of the word merican military writers have been arguing for ears that we should have strong, fortified base somewhere Newfoundland, particularly since .rge part of our most vital industry lies in the posed of Southern New England.
 The extraordinary circumstances produced by his war, and the new solidarity of Great Britain nd the United States evoked by this war, made it possible last summer for our government to acquire chain of naval and air base sites beyond At .antic seaboard The value of these bases will be calculable-certainy immensely than the value of 50 average destroyers.
 In time shall have defenses off our Atlantic shore even better than those have accumulated n the Pacific The departure of troops for New ioundland is a tangible proof that great new defense system in the Atlantic is moving ahead It cannot go too fast.

DEFENSE HOUSING IN ALASKA

Housing is in two ways part of the national defense program in Alaska: first as an emergency necessity while defense bases are bringing new workers by the thousands to communities; sec ond, as lasting contribution toward a healthier population.
 Since the emergency housing now being rushed at Anchorage, Kodiak and elsewhere is mainly for families living good wages, it need not except in special cases demand a Federal subsidy It may quire REC FILA mortgage guarantees. The coun- try over it is estimated about 100000 emergency dwelling units required, that their cost will be

FRIDAY, JANUARY 31

Adverse aspecss are mildly active on this last day of the month, which is fortunate for the taking of stock regarding the business or achievements of the beginning of 1941.
 Heart and Home. This evening is promising for social affairs Friendships quickly develop under this configuration which is favor ale for sympathy and understand ing. Older women will find pleas ure in contributing to the we'll being of their friends, also in prac- tical philanthropic work. The study of mental maladies will encourage patience in caring for many per- sons who find haven from war hQf- TOTS. The seers declare that it is imperative for normal persons L to maintain a calm, hopeful and posi- tive point of view that recognizes only stimulating and encouraging aspects in world affairs. Out of carnage, loss of relatives and homes, need and suffering, new world IS to rise with the progress of the Aquarian age, the seers predict.
 Business Affairs: Good times will be enjoyed as midwinter comes with severe storms. Trade in rub Der, leather and woolen goods will be lucrative. Food, so plentiful in the United States, will be exported in great quantities and in new con- densations. The plight of Europeans who have had to surrender their stores of grain and meats to the conquerlng Nazis will inspire majo relief measures along novel lines.
 National Issues: Extension of relief to Great Britain, financial as well as in the form of war im- plements, will cause division of opinion, but the stars are read as warning that there should be no limit to our aid. The new Moon Of this month carries evil portentS which will cause anxiety in Wall Street as well as in Washington One or two serious defections in the British Government are pres aged and there will be imperative demand for extended assistance. International Affairs: Suffering Europeans will be restive and re- bellious as mortality lists mount due to starvation and lack of hu- man living conditions. Even in England there may be rising oppo- sition to the government. The next few weeks are to be the most ter rible in their development of des- perate spirits as well as suffering bodies Illness will spread over Eai. rope, removing men and women iol all ages and children in great mum. bers.
 Persons whose birtf. date it il have the augury of year of aver age good fortune. The year vii be busy and successful.
 Children born on this day ma, be exceptionally brilliant Endowe, with unusual talents and stron bodies they should enjoy long an, fortunate careers.

The Senate Campaign Fund h. vestigating Committee disclosed that the Pew family of Philadelphia gave $90,000 to the election chest of Wendell Willkie But they are get ting most of this back from the Government.
 The War Department is putting S72,500 into the Pew coffers as pay ment for a second hand yacht.
 J. Howard Pew, President of the Sun Oil Company, received this tidy sum for his 12-year-old stee yacht, "Egeria." He and his brother Joseph N. Pew, boss of the Pennsyl- vania COP, were top-flight con- tributors to the Republican cam paign. chest. The Senate commit. tee declared in it's report that the s90,00O from the Pew family was only partial" accounting.
 While the War Department is paying big money for the "Egeria, the Navy has acquired five yachts at a total cost of $5. The following turned over their yachts at a dol lar each: Major Edward Bowes : Alfred P. Loomis, w. P. Murphy Joseph Seaman, and Robert S. Her. rick.
 However, not all the yachts ir Navy service were obtained that cheap. The Navy forked over $l50,- coo for "Hi-Esmaro," owned by H E. Manville; $l80,0O0 for the "No- paro," of Norman B. Woolworth and $275,000 for the Alder" oi w. B. Thompson.
