TRAVEL CURTAILED

Travel as usual" is going to become more and more difficult during the coming months according to Joseph B. Eastman, the nations Director of De- fense Transportation
 Eastman expressed sympathy with the needs for vacations and recreation but said at the same time that military movements would place such a heavy demand on common carriers that little vacationng could be expected
 This is to be expected in time Right now, the American people should be devoting their en- ergies toward helping the Japs trave-back to Tokyo
 Most Alaskans already have realized that there is no room for tourists in Alaska this year-that there is no room for pleasure seekers on the boats the planes. After the is will be the time for seeking pleasure and tourists from the States from all over the world, will remember be reminded of the vacationng opportunities that await them in the Territory.

VETO POWER OF
 GOVERNOR TO BE
 EXTENDED 10 DAYS

At the request of Gov. Ernest Gruening, Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond introduced a bill, H. R. 6846, on March 24, which is intended to extend the time in which the Gov ernor may exercise the veto pow CT
 At the present time, the Governor is given three days in which to approve or veto measures as they are assed by the Territorial Legis- lature.
 The resent volume of legislation is such that it is not felt that three days is sufficient length of time in which to study the measures adequately, it is claimed.
 The resent bill simply amends the existing law by inserting the word ten" in lieu of three in the last two sentences of Section 430, Com fled Laws of Alaska (37 Stat. 512).

changing tide of Mexican politics. he was forced to leave the country, came to New York City, enrolled as student in Columbia Univer- sity. Padilla has been half Yankee ever since He has a good com mand of English, fondness for American cigarettes, rises early, goes to the office early, has no siesta after lunch, loves golf and billiards.
 In spite of this friendliness, it would be false to say that all prob lems have vanished in the sunshine over the Rio Grande. There re- mains the fact that Mexico's Min ister of Interior, Miguel Aleman, is dangerously pro-German, and the still more troublesome fact that the Presidents brother, Maximino Avila Camacho, continues to do business with the black listed Swed- ish industrialist, Axel Wenner- [ Gren.
 But these troubles are small com pared with what Mexico was in the dark days when Witzke, Jahnke, Dilger, Hermann, Hinsch, and that motley crew of German spies and saboteurs crossed the border to re- organize in Mexico the machine that had been disrupted in the United States.
 And Ezequiel Padilla is the man who personifies the change in Mex ico-the Mexico which broke re- lations with Japan four hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

 We are keenly aware of the danger" says Padilla. T believe the peril of fifth column activity is the greatest problem for Mexico today. And the same thing is true for other Latin-A American countries, such as Brazil, which has 100000 Japanese; and Argentina and Chile which have large settlements of Germans"
 In contrast to this. Washington officials remember 1917, and Lothar Witzke.

HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN
FLAG (Continued)


FLAG (Continued)
Since 1918, additional stars have
been added 10 the flag of the
United States of America. until
today there are as on the flag
No law has been passed 10 desig-
nate how the stars shall be ar
ranged. Al one time they formed
a design of a larger star Now
by common practice, they form
six rows of eight stars each.
Betsy Ross, ii is said, lived al
233 Arch street, Philadelphia, and
not at 239. She made flags. but
says Theodore D. Gottlieb, she
never made the first Stars and
Stripes. He adds:
THE department of state, the
war and navy departments, the
historical sites commission Of
Philadelphia and other official
bodies repudiate the legend.
The book and pamphlet mate
rial available Is Overwhelmingly
against the legend.
THE story arose for the first
time on March IL, 1870, when
William j. Candy read a paper
before the Pennsylvania Histori-
cal Society In which he stated
that In 1885. when his grand
mother. Betsy Ross, was ~
years old and he was IL, she
told him the story.
WRITES OUT NOTES

until 1887. when at the sugges-
ton Of his Aunt Clarissa, oldest

conversation.
Nothing further was done
until 1870, when he wrote his
paper. The Historical Society of

Cecil Travis, Washington's third

handles the hot corner assignment
for Dizzy Deans All-Stars in a

of reversing the 81 decision they
received from Paige's All-Stars last
Sunday at Chicago. Its cinch
I'll be trying to leave good impress
sion here and if few of us get hot
we might do more with Paige than
a lot of folks think"
At the same time, Cece gives Paige
credit for being a really good pitch

a good motion. He doesn't give you
anything good to hit and he quickly
gets hep to batter's weakness"
Dean is expected here tonight or
