 Dr. GarieIson has extended the invitation 10 present briefs. IL is up 10 the industry and those con nected with il to see that they are presented in the strongest possible terms. based on fact and figure The Lord knows there are plenty of facts. which apparently have never come to the attention Of Dr. Cab rielson or anybody else connected with the Fish and WildHfe Service, or they have been ruthlessly ignor- ed by the men who make medicine in the fish bureau. If they have been ignored. 1t is time to find out about it.
 The point Of the entire war ef- fort. of which the fishing industry is a vital part. is 10 get rid of a guy called Hitler. If the industry is 10 continue to give it's utmost to the war effort it is time to be sure that there is no one with a Hitler attitude calling the goose step over Alaska fishing
 The way to do it, We reiterate. is to get the strongest possible case be- fore Dr. Gabrielson before Deeem- Der 91, 1942. and pray for a pros porous New Year.

Joe Meheriu. in the distribution or alcoholic beverages in the territory of Alaska and as such wish ta supply you with "the other side of the story" Rather than make assertions of my own, which I assure you can be backed up with positive proof. I would ra- ther suggest that the parties who made the complaints to you should contact the War Shipping Adminis- tration Office in Seattle and Bob Bartlett, Secretary to the Governor of Alaska. The latter left here yes terday morning for Juneau
 After a serious investigation on the part of both the local office of the War Shipping Administration and Alr Bartlett who came to Seat tie to make an investigation for the purpose of reporting to the AL aska War Council. neither were able to find a single instance where alcoholic beverages were loaded on d ship and food left behind
 From now on I take it upon my self to furnish you with some in- formation which evidently has not been supplied by the people who have made the complaints In the first place there has not been a single case of beer. wine or li- quor leave Seattle for any point west of Cape Spencer for nearly six weeks.
 Your attention is also directed 10 the most important fact Of all which most citizens of Alaska do not realize and that is the trem- endous amount of beer which has gone to Army Post Exchanges dur ing the past twelve months. For every case of beer that has gone to the commercial trade, l would venture to say that there have been five cases shipped to Army and Ma " Post exchanges in Alaska. In addition, you must remember that a certain percentage of beer that has gone to commercial trade has

 l deeply appreciate the informa- ton which you sent me in your letter of August 18th regarding the shipments of liquor to Alaska. l am much concerned to say only those things which are facts. but so many reports came in that liquor Was given priority over food in shipments To Alaska. including res olutous of the Chambers of Com meree of several cities, that I thought there was no question of the correctness of what l said. I suggest that you give similar information to the newspapers and radio stations in Alaska.

Wyoming to Pacific
Pipe Line Is Proposed
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2S.-Im-
mediate construction of an oil pipe
line from the Rocky Mountain
States to the Pacific Coast, with
eventual extension into the mid
continent States, was proposed as
a war emergency measure today by
r. A. Steinmayer, associate profess
sor of geology at Tulane University.
He said in a statement the pipe
line should run from wyoming to
Washington, with feeder lines down
the Pacific Coast. The main line
could be extended into the mid
continent area and eventually into
the Texas oil fields.
Mr.. Steinmayer, former oil and
railroad company expert, called oil
transportation "the most serious
problem facing U.S."
The urgent need Of the Western
pipe line must be realized in view
Of the fact that practically all oil
for the military needs of the Far
East is shipped from the California
coast, he said.

can be met only by total war-and
that means that every citizen must
do his or her share. We sre doing
everything possible"
Reviewing Australia's contribution
to the war so far, the Minister said:
Il think we approached this fairly
