Jury Asks Curb
 On Liquor

Demanding stricter enforce. ment of local liquor laws. partieul- arly with reference 10 sale of intox- icating liquors to minors, the T. S. Grand Jury turned in it's report this week To Federal Judge George F. Alexander at the Ketehikan term of court The jury made up of six women and 13 men were in session eight days. returned 12 true bills and one not true bill and made the fol- lowing recommendations:
 L We recommend that the local liquor laws be more strictly enforc- ed with particular reference to the sale of intoxicating liquors to min ors.
 2 That the diligence of the local police officers be maintained in cleaning the streets and public pla- ces of intoxicated persons, and that the local eurfew law be more strict ly enforced.
 3. We suggest our recommeu- dations on law enforcement be given serious consideration by other com munities in this division.
 1. We recommend more intensive policing of rooming houses; also, certain places of business catering to minors, by enforcement officers

DAMN THE T0RPEDOEs,
 FULL SPEED AHEAD

If you read Walter Davenport's s article in a recent Golfers, "The American Miracle, you will have an inkling that America isn't entirely begged down in it's defense effort. On the contrary, the wheels are turn ing at rush speed; by 1922 we'll be over the hurdle and by 1943 at the peak with a two-ocean navy and all the other essentials of total defense.
 But national defense has lacked one thing. It lacked a slogan or motto; potent phrase which sum- med up the entire picture. Keep 'em flying" was all right, Buy Bonds" had it's points There are many others equally meritorious, but all lacked a punch.
 On Monday night last, that mjs- sing ingredient of the American Mir acle-a motto-Was supplied by Franklin Roosevelt when in his Ma wy Day address he declared the Ma " was on the job with it's attitude Damn the Torpedoes, full speed ahead"
 Those six words are going down in history even as Don't Give up the Ship, Fire when you're ready, Gridley9 and other great American phrases. Ever-unconquered Americans can put their teeth into that one. Our national attitude to be just a little tough, without boasting about, our native spirit of drive to get things done and our love of expres- sions which say something, all are typified in those words.
 Herr Hitler and his racketeers of terror have been out-propagandizing the world with words since the pre- sent European fracas began. They have been and are without doubt the worlds supreme liars. They have turned some neat phrases with utter disregard for the truth. But theiI best from now on will be just a little flat.
 Uncle Sam in performing the Am erican miracle, turning out guns tanks, planes, a two-oeean Navy and an Army and Navy personnel which is swinging into action, back ed by united people whose slogan shall be:
 Damn the torpedoes, ful speed ahead!"

PROPOSAL REFUSED
BY RYAN COMPANY
Rejects New Wage Suggestion
Offered BY CLIO Workers
AS Strike Threatens

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Jan. H.-R'
The strike-threatened Ryan Ae-
ronautical company rejected a new
wage proposal Of the CLIO united
automobile workers today.
Harry Malcom, federal concllia-
tor, said negotiators were 'aga'n
deadlocked" on the issue.
The union, empowered by a 731
to q membership vote, previously
had announced a strike would be-
come effective next Tuesday II a
settlement were pot reached. 1t
would involve 1000 workers en-
gagged on a $11, 400, 900 government
defense order.
Malcolm said he would be in con-
tact with Washington by telephone
''quite often" tonight to. discuss
with DR.. John Steelmen, national
director of Cancellation, another
plan to prevent the walkout.
He explained he could not dis
cuss the plan, but some observers
said it might involve a suggestion
of arbitration.
Earl Prudden, company vice
president, declared in a statement
the management did not believe,
after examining the proposal, that
the union was "endeavoring to
settle the matter"
1.-THE counter proposal from the
CIO organizing committee which
had been anxiously awaited by
the Ryan management az a basis
of possible approach to an amic-
able settlement of differences
proved to be a keen disappoint-
when it was found to call
for rates in excess of those which
had been previously discussed" he
said. .
