The W ashingtun Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert $. Allen on active duty.)


 WASHINGTON The Baruch Committee on rubber hasn't set down its final findings yet, but already things are shaping up so that some pretty accurate conclus- ions can be reached.
 The chief conclusion is that mile age rationing' is unacceptable. It will be called mileage rationing instead of gasoline rationing, but it will mean exactly the same thing.
 All sorts of alternate plans have been considered instead of gasoline rationing, because this is the last thing the President wants to do.
 Here are some of the plans which have been proposed so far, but SC far rejected.
 1. A voluntary plan not to use your tires, with an appeal to patriot ism. However, this has been virtu- ally discarded on the theory that people always figure miracle will happen, or that some new discovery will produce lot of synthetic rub Der quickly or that the war will be won sooner than any one expects As a result it is feared they would not limit themselves severely enough 2. Issuance of certificates of wal necessity. This plan, advanced py Defense Transportation Coordinatoi Eastman would permit SO many miles of travel to certain occupa- tions, but is opposed by the OPA or the ground that it is impossible te check mileage. Speedometers are too easily moved back, and caliora- ton of tires to gauge mileage i inaccurate.
 3. Government purchase of one third of all U. s. cars or tires. Under this plan, however, it would bt difficult to ascertain which cars art not essential, since most cars serve a combination of essential and non essential purposes.
 Therefore, the only practical al formative boils down to gasoline ra' tioning, which will be accompanied bv A propaganda campaign to ex plain to the citizens of the Midwest

UNALASKA, Alaska, August A. To the Juneau Empire: Recently my attention was called to quoted statements made by the (ex) mayor of Unalaska, relative to the air raid attacks here by Japanese on June 3rd and 4th.
 l. As a civilian and as the local United States Commissioner and the attorney for the City of Un- alaska, I wish to refute many of the exaggerated as well as untruth- full statements attributed to MT Fletcher and appearing in many papers.
 I resent, as do the other civilians here, MT. Fletcher's alleged state- ment that our military forces would have been more effective had there been coordination between the army and navy. This is not only fabri- cation; but it casts a reflection upon our fighting forces here which has no basis in fact and most cer- tainly is unjustified.
 I am sure that I personally wit messed more in detail the attacks on June 3rd and 4th than did MT Fletcher, for the primary reason that immediately upon the frs

 Baker of Alaska }. }.

SEATTLE. Aug. 31-L. w. Baker, general manager of the Alaska Steamship Company. denies that large quantities of liquor have been transported to Alaska from Seattle while food and other war necessi- ties are left behind on the docks.
 Delegate to Congress Anthony J. Dimond said recently in Washing ton that in one instance 1t was reported to him that requests were made for spaee to carry V tons of freight. but only IF tons were loaded on the ship. which carried $6O000 worth of beer and wine north.

That about noon on the preceding Saturday, the War Shipping Administration ordered cancellation of all reserva- tions and directed the ship to sail as soon as possible after it's ar rival, with a capacity load of pas- sengers for the Navy
 Beer and liquor was loaded on this ship because it was the only cargo on hand. There were no shipments of food. clothing, build ing materials or other vital cargo available. It had all been moved on previous sailings." he said.
