ALASKA AIRBASE LOCATIONS

Defense bases in Alaska have been located, says the Rev Bernard R. Hubbard, for of con- venience rather than of strategy. The man who calls himself the Glacier Priest" declares at San Francisco that politicians and real estate dealers are responsible" for Alaska airfelds being where they are, rather than at such strategic locations as Aniakchak and Pilgrim Springs.
 The Associated Press story carrying this express sion of opinion also states that Father Hubbard is heading for Juneau. When he arrives, we hope he will answer these questions:
 A. What bases in Alaska have been located at the behest of politicians and real estate dealers?
 B. Who are these politicians and real estate dealers" who have imperled the defense of Alaska and the nation for the sake of personal gain?
 C. How were these persons able to talk the Army and Navy into building their bases in these aegedly inferior and unstrategic locations?
 D. What have Anakchak and Pilgrim Springs to offer arfield locations which would make them of greater strategic value than the fields already un- der construction?
 Father Hubbard speaks specifically of arfields Presumably he speaking of the fields at Anchorage Fairbanks, Metlakatla and Yakutat As the land fol all these bases except for a small part of the An chorage site) was taken from the public domain at no expense to the Army, it is difficult to see how haps the Reverend Father means realtors have beer using the arbases sideshows to attract prospects to adjacent subdivisions As there is no land ir

parties since the days of Napoleon III featured the social life of Paris
 Feeling completely safe behind the Maginot Line, many Parisiaus entertained as never before, especi- ally the munitions makers. Some of them even rented villas and ducal estates from the old French nobil- ity and did them over merely to give one party for one night.
 Nobody seemed to worry about what happened in the front lines.
 In the U.S.A.:
 Last week one of the most lavish debutante parties in years was given by the former U. s. Ambas- sador to France, William c. Bull lit. A special airport was arranged on his country estate outside Phila- delphia for special airplanes to bring guests to the party for his daughter.
 Three orchestras, especially inn ported for the occasion, jazzed out dance music from various corners of the estate. Snow-white swans giided on a moonlit pond. Spot lights played down upon giant blue china frogs No less than eight champagne bars were located over i his acres so that no matter where his guests strolled, they would not be without a drink.

DIES COMMITTEE OUT

Representative Martin Dies dis maj showing in the special Texas election last Saturday torpedoet more than his senatorial ambitions It also wrote finis to the investi- gating committee which for three years has furnished him an un. failing open sesame to press head lines.
 House leaders aren't saying sc publicly but as a result of ths election they have definitely de- cided not to give the Dies com mittee further extension when il expires this year
 Dies has been able to force re- peated extensions and $10O,OOO ap- preparations on the claim of pub- lie backing. He entered the Senate race confident that his reputeo popularity would sweep him easily to victory. That he ran a poor fourth is taken by House leaders as conclusive proof that his claim to popular support is a myth.
 If he couldn't carry his own state they contend, making no se- cret Of their delight, he certainly is no hero elsewhere.
 For Dies his defeat is a crush ing upset. Secretly he was shoot ling for bigger stakes-the White House. He mad figured to use. the Senate as a springboard into tht national arena in 1914. But thost dreams are all over now. Some

 Y "The sturs incline but do not compel"
TUESDAY, JULY 8


 After the morning hours adverse aspects rule today Good news may be followed by denials. Labor trou- bles are indicated with the em- ployers on the losing side.
 Heart and Home: Busy days are forecast for women who will find in their homes so much of beauty and comfort that they will turn to public service with keen regret for lost hours in domestic environment Communities should organize for careful sanitation of cities and wise supervision of public health, for epidemics are to be widespread in the autumn, it is forecast. Begin ming in small centers national ser vice engaging women's best efforts will be coordinated so scientifically that dulication and waste will be avoided. ana Business Affairs: Rumors of graft and extravaganza in Government projects will disturb taxpayers at this time when the cost of war will be alarming to businessmen who understand the technique of wise use of money Prosperity will con tinue and generous spending will distribute the wages of workers Pursuit of pleasure will be fea- ture of the summer when thou sands will enjoy costly vacations The stars encourage present. day joys without thought of tomorrows
 National Issuues: Dissatisfaction regarding promotions in the Unit ed States Army and Navy maybe aroused to become fuel for fifth column inflammatory work. Poli- tical pulls will be suspected where there is no cause for criticism Press and radio will be employed for statements of fact. The stars indicate a wonderfully coordinated machinery when the defense plans are ultimately put into complete operation. True democracy is to be illustrated in all branches of the service. 'e'
 International Affairs: III health is prognosticated for two of the dictators. Both Hitler and Musso- lini are to suffer from the effects of serious diseases. Secrecy regard ing the exact physical condition ol Hitler will be maintained as hiE associates carefully prepare for any emergency" Astrologers long havt foretold that this year is to mark the decline of both the Nazi anc the Fascist leaders Before autumn there will be changes among tht supporters of the dictators.

and banned their cooling draughts of beer.
 Colorado's tall, numbering Sena- tor Ed Johnson, isolationist Demo- crat and foe of the defense pro- gram, sneaked over the dry scheme in the guise of a substitute for a House bill outlawing prostitution within a reasonable distance" of military reservations. The War De- partment had asked for this bill, and when it reached the Senate, Johnson offered a substitute whose language appeared to be the same His colleagues assumed he was try ing to grab off some political ku- dos and didn't examine it closely
 But tucked away in Johnson's bill was a provision that set ur rigid liquor control in Army camps and also in an undetermined area around the camps. Had this Ian guage become law, prohibition could have been restored throughout large sections of the country.
 Johnson's scheme passed unno- ticed and his bill was on its way back to the House for concurrence when Senator Bob LaFollette, who had been absent, stormed in witt loud cries of alarm.
 Sheepishly the Senate jerked tG life and began undoing its boner The process required several hours and four quorum calls. Then John son tried another tack by offering a substitute limiting the scope oi his dry scheme. When it got no- where, he frantically started scrib- bling another compromise But by this time the Senate was openly laughing at him. so he threw IF the sponge.

 Ryan is now at it, as Assistant Director of Civil Defense for AL aska. And the War and Navy De- partments probably don't know that those excellent aerial maps of AL aSka they are receiving from Gov. Gruening are the work of Ryan, who was turned down for Army service because of poor eye sight.

Duhamel Is the FederatiOn's
Walking History Book
Delegate of Oldest
Inhabitants to Be
50 in August

The Federation has a walking
history book" who attends nearly
all its meetings and volunteers de-
tails about Washington problems
of the past which most of the dele
gates could only read about.
Whenever the discussion of an
issue starts off with Back in 1870"
or some such medieval reference,
there is one active delegate who is
probably doing the talking-James
F. Duhamel, representative Of the
Association of Oldest Inhabitants,
who will be 63 years old next Au-
gust.
Although he is only year older
than John B Dickman, ST, delegate
from Cleveland Park Citizsns' Asso-
citation, MI. Duhamel is the history
specialist of the pair and often takes
the floor to recall an incident in the
old days Most of the time he sits
listening. however, his hands cupped
behind one ear when ne wants par
ticularly not to miss what is being
said.
Last meeting Of the Federation
the Federation Health Committee
brought in a report for rat control
in the District The chair recog-
nized Delegate DuhameL
Back in 1870" ne recalled, "the
old Center Market burned down.
The inhabitants stood around and
killed rats as they fed the burning
structure. BY the time it was all
over there was a pile of dead ro-
dents fully feet in diameter and
3 or 4 feet high from the building. -
The delegates wasted no time
unanimously approving the control
program.
Mr.. Duhamel, a patent attorney
by profession, is a native of the
Capital and interested in local suf-
frage. He is a member of the Fed
eration's Committee on Local Suf-
frage and on Public Celebrations. He
is a member of the Society of Ma
tiveS and interested in the Colum-
bia Historical Society.
He lives at 4105 Eighteenth street
NV. and often walks the miles
Evening star., 1941-03-09

from his home to his Office. AL
though he has twice been hit by
automobiles when he was over TO,
he has recovered from the injuries
sustained in each.
Mr.. Duhamel served for a time
in the Army of the Potomac and
after practicing patent law in New
York was elected for a period to the
New York State Legislature. He
saw Lincolns inauguration more
than three-Quarters of a century
ago. A nature lover. he is particu-
larly fond of dogWood. but friends
think he enjoys as much as any
thing the chances he gets to rem
inisce at meetings of the Oldest
Inhabitants.
