The War and Alaska
Cincinnati Enquirer


 The tour of Alaskan defenses by group of Sen ators representing the Truman Committee and the Senate Military Affairs Committee seems to have travellers. One is that the Alaskan region provides an ideal highway for offensive against Japan, and the other is that need complete unity of com mand'-quoting Senator Harold H. Burton of Ohio in this theater.
 The latter conclusion probably is of more immed- fate importance Presumably. the Senators and their accompanying military experts gained insight into an awkward and potentially dangerous division of military and civilian command in the Alaskan In any event of course their for special cern the point should be matter of interest to Congress and the administration
 The democratic nations have suffered enough from inefficency and division of command in the early stages of the war-so much in fact that warning of a possible repetition of disaster from the same cause should go unheeded. Alaska and the Aeutians a theater of all to themselves and should be treated such in the concentration of authority and responsibility. There has not been much fight ing yet this theater but the results thus far indi- cate that our position there could stand improve ment, either in the quality and organization of mand, the amount of supplies and endorsements
 It is discovery, of course, that the Alaskan Peninsula and the islands jutting westward from it offer most promising avenue of attack upon Japan. simple glance at the map is sufficient to suggest this. Indeed it was President Roosevelt himself who mentioned the Kamchatka Peninsula in worldwide broadcast possible future springboard of attack upon Japan-and to Kamchatka lead the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutians.

OUR GOVERNMENT

The American system of government, which, like Topsy jest growed" is almost fantastic agglo- meration of administrative units William Anderson,
 professor of political science at the University of Minnesota undertook the staggering job of counting them in 1881, and found the total to be 17541S. He counted them again last year after a decade of de- pression and emphasis governmental retrench- ment and found there still 165 O49 units of gov ernment in the naton-not counting the Federal and state governments.
 During the decade, only three counties passed from existence although virtually every state in the Union could get along on half their present number of county governments. In Georgia two counties were eliminated by consultations, and in Louisiana the city government of New Orleans absorbed the New Orleans Parish government.
 Some progress has been made in reducing the number of school districts Professor Anderson noted that there 69 per cent fewer school districts in 1941 than in 1881 But most states have a bewild- ing multicpliciy of special districts to finance ditches and roads, to administer poor relief and at tend to other functions which, in most cases could be handled efficiently by other means Illinois found to have 15629 local governmental units. But only 13 states of the Union have fewer than 800 units each.
 The Minnesota educator recommends through the Public Administrative Service, that a reduction of 90 cent be effected in the number of local gov ernmental units for the sake of efficiency. He be- ieves the state should have about 370 units instead of nearly $500 Under his proposed re- organization county types of government would prevail in the main urban centers, and would handle all the functions of city and county governments and school districts. In rural or semi-rura areas the county would be the main unit for performing services of statewide importance such as school ad- ministration

STIMSON PLAYS POLITICS

There is a cablegram which would be of interest to Secretary of War Stimson.
 The cablegram was sent from Cairo by Chester Morrison, Ameri- can war correspondent in Libya, shortly after Republican Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu- setts returned from a,''ve duty as tank corps major in Libya, doffed his uniform and began a hot cam paign for reelection.
 Opening gun of his campaign was publication of a letter from Republican Secretary Stimson, pay ing high tribute to Lodges "experi- ence under fire in the combat zone. ' Stimson also lauded Lodges know ledge and understanding of military strategic considerations which will greatly enhance your usefulness to the country as a United States Sen ator."
 This letter raised a howl of pro- test that Stimson was putting the War Department into politics, SC Louis Ruffel, former Columbia Broadcasting System publicity di- rector, started to investigate on his own. Through a friend he cabled Morrison for details regarding the young Senator's war activities" ir Libya. Here is Morrison's reply dated August 21, 1942:
 Lodge chaperoned the first con- tingent of tanks to Cairo and used his personal prestige to insure theil comfort. He turned over his com mand to Captain Stelling, who com manded their first action. Lodge unsaw action. He made Cooks toul of safe desert areas and then went home.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER

IHURSDA4, OClObER
 This is an uncertain day III planetary direction In the morn ing good news from war fronts may be expected but late in the day naval activities may be unsatisfac- sory to the United Nations.
 HEART AND HOME: Women may find this a day of delays and illustrations. There will be demand for them in many lines of industry but this is not an suspicious date for signing contracts or making out applications. The stars are read as presaging> great success for girls oi the United States who assume hard asks but there has been only beginning in their demonstration of splendid possibilities. Thousands more will he employed this time next year when their industrial army will be counted in millions, it is predicted.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: While great activity will mark this month in all parts of the United States and prosperity will continue, warn ing again is given of the perils Of nflation. There is an ill omen read IS presaging suspicion that affects he relations of employers and em- ployees. Profiteering that will be uncovered among contractors and merchants will have a bad effect upon labor. Today there is an ad- verse influence for capitalists and manufacturers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Criticism of our Government in it's war poll- cies will be encouraged as lists of the cost in human life are pub lished. This branch of fifth column work must be cut off since it will be far-reaching enough to affect even men in the service of the na- tion. While the next few weeks will strengthen all the evidence of com ing victory for the United Nations, severe experiences will test our country. Heavy losses of supplies are forecast and many illustrations in minor campaign plans are prog noSticated.
 INTERNATIONAL A AIR S.: Failure of our supplies to reach destinations where the need for them is desperate is prophesied as among the trials to be met through the autumn. Our splendid strength which must be scattered will de- velop alarming possibilities but the seers again foretell surprising suc- cesses against frightful odds. While there is always the prophecy of final victory, the United States is to pay the highest price and bear the heaviest burdens for it is. pre- dicted that the war will be pro longed through several years.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ex- ceptional luck but constant caution should be exercised in all financial matters.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be gifted and popular. They should be carefully trained in protection for they will meet with treachery.

tContlnued from Page One) of OPM, on the contract-distribu- tion policies of the War Production Board.
 Hillman has been in retirement since the reorganization which put Donald Nelson in charge of war production last winter; spent much of the time in a hospital recover ing from the strain of OPM days
 Now restored to health, he is planning to voice some of labor'S disapproval of policies which have led to placing contracts in com munities already choked with war work and short of manpower, while other large sections of the country notably New York City-face se- riouS unemployment.
 Figures show that in recent months more than a fourth of all contracts have been placed in areas where labor shortages now exist that another 9 percent have been sent to communities where short ages are anticipated. Result has been migration of workers, over crowding, and use of critical ma- terials to build new homes, new sewers, new buses. new school houses.
 Another sore spot in labor cir cles: Word has been passed along that six steel executives suggested by labor as acceptable to head WIPES Iron and Steel Division, were turned down because Big Steel felt they were too friendly to labor.
 Head of the list friendly to labor was H. E. Lewis, chairman of the board of Jones and Laughlin. Also on it were vice presidents of two United States Steel subsidiaries.
