OPA BLUNDER

The recent announcement by the Office of Price Administration that fationng being applied in the States may also be applied in Alaska, and the statement by Rupert Emerson, OPA official in charge of Territories that he sees reason why rationing should not be applied in Alaska-s absurd.
 Since the beginning of the war, shortly there after Alaskans have been encouraged to hoard stock up, throughout the Territory When such an an nouncement was made by Secretary of Alaska E L.. Bartlett it was made only after the situation had been fully explained to the OPA office in Washing ton At that time, OPA officials apparently under stood the situation perfectly Why the sudden lack of knowledge?
 As Alaska Delegate Anthony J Dimond puts it, any such plan is just plain screwy."
 Many residents of the Interior must stock up during the summer with enough supplies to last the whole year. In the dead of winter, such an Alaskan can't be expected to mush few hundred miles every five weeks for his pound of coffee and every week for his pound of sugar
 And at the same time the expense involved in setting up elaborate rationing program would not be justified in Alaska The amount of gible. Yes and the amount of food used by the approximate 8oOOO residents and the expense which would be involved in rationing forms a lop-sded picture
 Transportation difficulties have left some Alaska communities without any food to ration Storage facilities in most Alaskan towns are not adeolate Consequently when boat arrives with food Alas kans should be encouraged to shift the storing of the food from inadequate warehouses to their pan tries. There also is the ever-preSent danger of a raid on many Alaskan towns by the enemy A hit on warehouse stocked with food that is being ra- tioned would be just too bad

The Rajah of Dholpur
(New York Times)

(New York Times
 A bit of feudalism in modern clothes speaking cultivated English stepped the sunlight of New Delhi the other day for an interview with cores pondent, Herbert L. Matthews His and titles, given in the resulting dispatch the Maharaj- Rama of Dhopur, Sir Udai Bhan Singh Lokindra Bahadur. In all he has about two dozen names and titles, but his mail reaches him under those given. His principality is south of Agra, on the edge of Rajputana, in North Central India. It has an area of little under 1900 square miles and population of about a quarter of a million It is thus almost exactly the size of Rhode Island and it's population is about one-third larger than that of the Borough of Richmond It is of 562 Indian States, allied by treaty or other contract with the British Crown with total population of about 93 O00000 peppered and spotted India, ranging in size from almost the equivalent of Great Britain to no more than Kansas farm
 The Maharaj-Rana believes this is as it should be There is no feeling for democracy in India," he says, but there is complete understanding accep tance and desire for personal ruler His attitude is fatherly and, doubt benevolent. Many of the other princes take the position few are working toward constitutional government In inter- nal matters they quite independent, though the British have ways of keeping them from abusing their privileges Under the abortiye Indian Const- tuition of 1885 they were to have been given the choice of joining not joining the Indian 
 Americans may have some sympathy with the argument often made that the British cannot force the princes to cede their sovereignty if this involves breaking treaties. It does incongruous, how ever that these relics should survive outside of Axis territory in the year 1942 An absolute prince may be pardoned for doubting his subjects feeling for democracy" It is his profession to doubt it. But absolutlsm cannot long survive in India or else where, if the United, Nations win this war The princes are the weakest link in Britains case against immediate self-government for India

 The Japanese will not be driven out of Kiska by editorials Not even colunin-long editorials punc- tuated with exclamation points and decarative sentences.
 But the landing of American forces on the An dreanof Island group in the Aleutians is a definite step toward that objective. Necessarily the com munique could not give details as to the size of this new expeditionary force the exact location ot the new bases. (The AndreanofS stretch 24O miles from east to west The farthest western island IS only l25 miles east of Kiska the easternmost is 365 miles east of Kiska)

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31
 Benefic aspects rule today which is favorable to the Navy and the air forces of the United Nations. There is promise for persons who start new business ventures on a small scale.
 HEART AND HOME: In the household, the men of the family are under favorable direction of the stars. Better incomes are lndl- cated for older men and good luck should attend boys fighting in the war. This is a date suspicious for making plans, time for syste- matic programs for winter activi- ties. Girls should volunteer Tor whatever work they can, do best. Women will be in demand in all the industries. Thousands will wear uniforms that announce devotion to many forms of duty.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: At the end of the month war regulations will add much to bookkeeping tasks which should be simplified, astrologers foretell, because there are to be more complicated tax regulations in the future. Even with ten percent contributions for war bonds the real pinch of war sacrifice will not be felt until after the first of the year when there is sign presaging many economic problems. Thrift should be prac- ticed now wherever possible.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Freedom from fear will be much preached | in coming weeks when too much thinking of the war will have seri- ous effects upon older men and women. According to the stars this is a time to build up strength of mind and body Character is to be severely tested as our part in the conflict becomes more and more prominent. Danger of epidemics in the winter will be diminished by careful observance of health laws now.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Success of American plans to send food, clothing and medicine to war victims in Europe and Asia will encourage even more generosity than in previous weeks The stars presage severe winter in many parts of Europe; aStrologers fore cast extreme need of warm cloth ing. This is the time, it is fore told, for every man and woman who has two coats to part with one. If gratitude really blesses, the seers declare that the people of the United States will be most fortu- nate.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ups and downs with the ups winning. Gains, expected and unexpected, will smooth many rough places.
 Children born on this day .prob- ably will have eventful lives. They should be extremely gifted, but they may be determined to use their talents in their own ways.

COAL DUMPED ON SHoRE

COAL DUMPED ON SHORE
 The conflict came to a head at meeting held in the office of Ed McGrady, labor adviser to the Undersecretary of War. Stories were told at that meeting which. though discounted by War Transport Sery- ice, were still tough enough to be disturbing.
 One story, told by Harry Lund- berg, head of the Seafarer's Inter- national (AFL), dealt with the Wanderings of the S.S. Chirikoff. which was sent from Seattle to AL aska with load of coal But the Alaskan port was found to be well supplied with coal, so the shin re- turned, only to be sent to another Alaskan port, which was also well supplied. The same thing happened a third time, and the crew in dis gust dumped the coal on shore
 This story was confirmed by J. D. Bryan of the Pacific Ship own CTS Association, who added another story of his own.
 A disagreement occurred between 9 ships master and an Army officer over the proper way to load some big artillery bound for Alaska. Though the officer won the argument, the master declined to sign the papers and sailed with out doing so. On reaching Alaska, he had to rig up special boom
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-10-30

and tackle to get the heavy guns out of the hold. After unloading one. the second fell from the tackle, broke the boom, and all most went through the bottom of the boat.
 The captain weighed anchor and sailed back to San Francisco for repairs. Finally, period of 45 days was consumed in delivering the guns, compared with a mini mum of four days for the Alaska run.
 UNION HOURS
 On the other hand, Army and Navy officials accuse seamen of malingering even in zones of war. In a foreign port, destroyer ap- proached a docked merchant ves- sel and called out, Throw us a line" But the merchant crew, hay ing done their eight hours, was ashore, and there was no one to throw a line.
 In open harbors, subject to enemy bombing, Army and Navy officers want to unload transport vessels in a hurry, regardless of the eight hour day. But merchant seamen quit on the stroke of the clock, they say. t
 Chief difficulty is that the old antagonisms between ship opera tors and seanen have been carried over into the government opera tions. One former ship owner. for example, is now stationed in Aus tralia, representing Army Transport Service. Named IT. c. Plant he earned the nickname of Tear Gas" Plant, from Pacific Coast, seamen
 SKID ROW BUMS"
 Tn some cases when a ship comes back after an Army run, there IS
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-10-30

a 100 percent turnover in the crew. These one-trippers are called by old-timers the skid row buns men who want to get experience at sea, or want to dodge the draft (Selective Service will not take seamen). They sign on for one run, then come to the unions or the War Shipping Administration for regular berths under better condi- tionS.
