Radio Used To Detect
 

WASHINGTON, June = Am erican technical experts were of fered regular salar;ed, non-com- blatant positions last night in the battle of Britain.
 Offices of the British Civilian Technical Corps were set up in New York to consider applica- tions from Americans willing to go to the British Isles under em- ployment contracts.
 Need for Radio LOcators
 The technicians are particular ly needed for servicing and main taining the new secret radio locat ors which show approaching bombers for British air fighters and anti-aircraft crews. British Air Commodore Pierie, who is air attache at the British embassy, described the radio locators as perhaps the most spectacular scientific development of this war"
 Salaries to be Paid
 The American volunteers will be paid $38 weekly for foremen posts down to $24 weekly for bas ic workers. There is particular demand for experts in radio mechanics, skilled engine filters and metal workers. Members of the civilian technical corps will be given free food and lodging. They will wear a uniform and in slgnia but will under no condi- tions become combatants. Commo dore Pierie said they would, how ever be subject to the same dan gers as the civilian population of Briatin.

Alaska Gets
 Bulk Oil For Many Points

Bulk delivery to the Aleutian Islands and Boring Sea ports of petroleum products and the com pletion of storage tanks at im- portant points for better serving needs of mining and fishing indus tries over a large area is announc ed by the Standard Oil Company of California. The move is one of the most important affecting Al aska made in years, writes E. J. Dalby in the Seattle P.-I.
 Bulk storage tanks construct ed by the Standard Oil Com pany at central stations, such as Dutch Harbor, Platinum, Bethel, and Nome together with a com mercial bring bulk distribution to the area. Heretofore it was de- pendent upon supplies shipped from the Pacific Coast in iron bar rels and cases.
 Over Wide Area
 This further development of the company's Alaskan service is of particular importance to mine operators and salmon packers in the Boring Sea range where in the past. in some localities, con sumers have had to place orders a year in advance.
 The change in method of sup ply will result in a substantial reduction in cost to consumers and is expected to have an accel- erating eject on operations of in dustries.

longs among the tiny number of
wonderful people who know how
to be successful without losing jot
of human warmth and genulneness.
In this, Mrs. Milligan is running true
to the example set by her mother,
Anna Steese Richardson, that noted
pioneer and leader in women's ac-
tivities and clubs throughout the
country.
A great joiner and espouser of
causes. Mrs. Milhgan is also an astute
business woman and heads up the
women's division of the National
Association of Manufacturers. This,
in itself, would constitute full-time
Job for most people, but Mrs. Mllli-
gan is also president of the National
Council of Women, and chairman of
the Women's Emergency Committee
which is cooperating with the govern
ment in the nutritional defense radio
series known as Listen, America!
And Just recently she has been made
chairman of the newly organized
National Defense Committee of the
General Federation of Womens Clubs.
In regard to nutrition as defense
measure. Mrs, Milligan emphasizes
the fact that our case is not like that
of European nations, There is plenty
of food here and if, as nation, we
suffer from nutritional deficiencies, it's
from not eating the right things, not
from having too little to eat, she says.
The importance of vitamins for in
stance, has been very much empha-
sized: but there's still an immense
amount of emphasis needed. We must
use all our means of communicating
information: telephone, telegraph,
radio, daily press, magazines, and
back-door gossip. Mrs. Milligan points
out. Then, perhaps, we can make
everybody nutrition-conscious and
get rid of a lot of the remediable
nutritional weaknesses which war,
or the threat of war, always reveals.
All these public achievements and
so many national projects sound for
midable - until you meet Mrs. Milli-
gan herself, small, plump, affable and
fifty, attractive and disarming. AS
one of her friends says of her, "she is
friendly, warm and sympathetic, and
people lust naturally gravitate to
her, telling her their problems, their
hopes and plans" She makes you
think of the generation of women
who humored their husbands, under
stood their sons, ran big households,
mothered the servants and managed
the whole neighborhood.
These are, indeed, just the things
Mrs. Milligan has done. She moves
about in great metropolis like New
York City as if it were just some over
size town; and whenever any new
women's project gets under way there,
Mrs. Milligan is pretty sure to be in
the center of it. Nor is she ever de-
flected from the primary business OF
her life as the wife of Harold V. Milli-
gan, who for twenty-five years was
organist and choir director of DR.,
Fosdick's famous church. She is de-
voted to her two sons, both graduates
of Columbia University and due to
enter the Army at any moment now.

ALASKA'S COMMERCE

There is a great deal oi good news and en- couragement for Alaska in the annual report of Col ector of Customs J. J. ConnoTs on the Territory commerce u 1940. The statistics show total in- bound and outbound commerce during the year of more than a hundred million dollars. This turns out to be slightly $500 worth of commerce for every man, woman and child in Alaska.
 Total commerce in 1940 was up approximately two and onehalf million dollars 1899, which was also good year.
 e Especially significant is the great increase in value of inbound shipments. These worth almost 50 million dollars and almost four mil lion dollars greater than in 1889. As we have con- tended before the prosperity and well-being of the people of Alaska is measured more in what they are consuming of the goods of the world than in what they sending Outside from this great Northland treasure house.

WHEELER AND KENNEDY

There was time when Senator Burt Wheeler, then an anti Wall Street crusader, and Joe Kennedy newly appointed SEC chairman just fresh from Wall Street, didn't think very much of each other. But that's all changd now-thanks to Roose- velt's militant British aid policies which they both oppose.
 Kennedy called on Wheeler before he made his radio attack on the lend-lease bill, and spent severa hours in earnest pow-wow. Last month, the Montanan returned the visit--at the Ambassadors swan ky home in Palm Beach, Florida.
 At Wheeler's office there was z lot of secrecy about the Palm Beact pilgrimage. First it was denied that the Senator had left Washington Ihen 1t was asser d that hi. whereabouts was unknown. At Sena. tor Wheeler's home it was admitted he had gone to Florida, but his des. tination was refused on the ground that he desired a rest and did no want to be disturbed.
 To isolationist colleagues, befor, he departed, Wheeler was very chip per. I'm going to get bombshell he exulted, that I think will blov this bill out of the water"

 When a startling departure is suggested in paraphernaa, the response is usually less jeer- ing than that which greetS the revolutionary inven tions of peacetime. The vast majority of the sug- gestons for winning the war" which reach the heads of the warning nations utterly worthless But the British Government, for example patiently sfts the chaff of worthless ideas for the possible grains of real value.
 A new weapon or new implement of may determine the success failure of campaign even war. The tank, which the British high command did not regard as highly did Winston Churchill and made only in limited quantity at the start, held the possibility of smashing defeat of the German Army in 1917. debacle similar to that of the panzer drive through France last spring within the reach of the British But they hae not prepared to press the advantage given them by the surprise appearance of the rolling forts. They might have driven to the heart of Germany with 500 of the strange new contraptions but they had made only 50 for trial purposes and had mapped no general offensive to accompany their introduction
 The German dive bomber likewise weapon of decisive importance in the Nazi break through into France last year. This unique plane might have held the key to successful invasion of England had the Germans turned them out in sufficient numbers to take the fullest advantage of the sur- prise element. They remain highly effective i'm plement of aerial bombaroment but some degree have been checkmated by the development of faster powerful, and heavily armed fighter planes
 In the line of new defense proposals one of the most interesting is the suggestion of Simon Lake Inventor of the submarine, that cargo-carrying sub marines be constructed answer to the suh marine and aerial blockade of England. MT La. declares that craft 400 to 450 feet in length capab of carrying 751O tons of cargo--or much as fair-sized ocean heighter-can be constructed fol net more than s2,O0C,o0O each That of course, is much costly than the equivalent surface craft But it's value means of keeping England fed and supplied would be incomparaby greater because it would be so much less vulnerable to submarine and air attack, travelling submerged by day and or the surface only at night
 If the Germans try and fail in an all-out attack upon England, Simon Lakes proposal may be found to be practical means of blasting any Nazi hopes of winning of attrition Stranger things have happened.
