it brings includes far more than the wavs of

The American citizen turns to the domestic

What the citizen THINKS is based upon

the newspaper goes further to bring him the

The Army Air Corps uses much lumber. The spars frames skin covering. cross banding pilot seat and nonstructural parts of training planes made of wood. There 40.0Oo board feet of lumber in every C-62 Commando cargo plane. Observation planes and some bomber trainers contain just about as much lumber Gliders much lumber.
 Alaska already is sending many board feet of high quality spruce to the States for in building airplanes, Specially designated mills, approved by the government will process the spruce,
 But at the time, it seems sad that many Alaskan mills far under normal capacity this last year when they should have been running far ahead of normal production rates. Manpower was the chief cause for the lag Higher wages may have to be paid and higher prices charged for lumber But the mills should run. The government is inter- ested in Alaskan mills It is believed that govern ment aid in manpower and other problems will make the saws buzz a little faster next year

Wire-tapping has become so bad in Washington that some people are taking the advice of Ambassador Bill Bullitt. When he was in Mos COW he never talked on the phone without assuming in advance that his wire was tapped. So he adopted the practice of tapping pencil g ainst the mouthpiece of the phone, which, Bullitt says, jars the wax recording of the conversation and makes it unintelligible Jus tice Felix Frankfurter is convinced that his phone is tapped. He has friends call him up from time to time to test his wire Undersec retary of the Navy makes no secret of the fact that a dictaphone is in his office to take down converse tions.

Bolivar Buckner, U. s. Commander in Alaska, was addressed to Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, member of the Senate Military Ar fairs Committee Buckner wisely stated tha the didn't trust letters, so wanted to come to Washington and tell Bridges some things.
 Various letters written by minor government officials were critical of their chiefs. Many letters were high ly amusing, but gave absolutely no military information.
 In fact the only letters the Sen ators examined which might have contained military information, told of snowstorm in Alaska, and an ice avalanche.
 Before Gov. Gruening testified be- fore the Senate Judiciary Committee he got the approval of his chief, Secretary Ickes, to call on Byron Price, efficient Chief of Censorship. Accompanying him were Anthony J, Dimond, Congressional D l e a e from Alaska and Ben Thoron, Chief of the Bureau of Territories.
 Gruening argued that the prac- tice of censoring mail between dif- ferent divisions of the United States should stop.
 Its mAmerican," he argued.
 Its very useful information, !" countered Price.
 Yes, and it also might be useful information if we censored every letter mailed by 130,000,O00 people, , replied Gov Gruening. Besides, !" he added, tits unlawful"
 Price admitted that there was no law to back him up, but did not mention that a law was pending in Congress, in fact had already passed the House.

Job Well Done
Cincinnati Enauirerl

Months ahead of schedule, the difficult engineer ing feat of highway construction between the Unlted States and Alaska has been completed. Already army trucks, carrying men and supplies, are rum bling over the 1900 miles from border of the United States to another.
 It has been herculean task, accomplished Tn record time. The construction work itself was tre- mendous but the project presented also intricate political problems.
 First, it highway primarily for the use of the United States, but running through Canadian territory This situation might have resulted in untold delay and qubbling But authorities in both countries fully cognizant that they faced the same threats in the Far East, quickly cut the red tape
 There were too the ever-present political prob lems presented by the demands Of our own sec tional interests. Citizens of the West Coast seeing the future commercial possibilities of the highway argued long and strong for coastal road There another group which sought route along the base of the Rocky Mountains. Still another fought hard for inland route, the plains of Canada We shall not attempt to compare the routes as to their different values; suffice it to say that each sought to forge the same chain; that red tape and useless argument again put aside and the job rushed through.
 The accomplishment has been finished none toe soon. During the winter months, with dirt roadbed frozen solid, untold amounts of material can be rushed to northern fronter-a frontier which lies close to Japan-a frontier which must take the first force of Japanese advance if, and when, il comes toward our continental shores.
 The Alaskan Highway is tribute to United States and Canadian cooperation; to American engineering genius; to the toughneSs of American determination; to ability to start and to com plete, tasks of extreme difficulty in spite of the worst hazards of nature and politics

LUMBER FOR WAR

Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman brings word from the States that all possible efforts will be put forth next year to greatly increase the lumber production of Alaskan mills. This certainly seems to be well within the vital project bracket for the war effort.
 The Army is doing things in Alaska, using much lumber shipped up from the States that could be mlled in the Territory. Lumber has become one Of the most critical materials of At least 90 per cent of the lumber output of the United States today goes to the Army and Navy.
 For every man in the Army, 1,360 to 1850 board feet of lumber are needed for the various kinds of construction ranging all the way from barracks to chapes The furnishings of Army buildings are made mostly of wood The soldier sits wooden chairs recent order for 100000 wooden chairs by the Army saved 4OOO tons of vital steel
 The locker box at the foot of a soldiers bunk is wood So are most of the hunks. Army orders for 225oOOO hunks have saved 42OOO tons of steel
 Even in warehouses, timber trisses and connec- tors are being used in place of steel saving 100000 tons of structural steel Tent poles and billings, water tanks and pipes rifle racks tool handles frames side boards and platforms for tents among many other things made of wood for the Army.
 The shoe a soldier wears has wooden core that has saved the Army 75O of rubber in outfittng four and-a half million If the soldier has ciarand rifle the stock contains five board feet of wood
 It is estimated that billion board feet per year goes into the Army and Navy boxes and crates ot various kinds

 AS the bill was about to come up for a vote, Senator George Norris of Nebraska, who had learned what the bill was all about, gave notice that he would launch long at tack, unless it was sent back to the Judiciary Committee for further consideration. Other Senators also got rebellious

 They proposed the name of Dan Tobin, AFL Teamsters' boss, as Secretary of Labor and head of Manpower. The President, however, countered with the name of Secre- tary Ickes.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

THURSDAY, DECEMBER r

i Good and evil balance in the planetary influences today. The morning may be under adverse as- poets which cause delays and ob- structions in carrying out plans or programs.
 HEART AND HOME: The eve ming should be fortunate for wo- men and their social affairs Girls should find it lucky for meeting young men, Love affairs will be prevalent and should be happy in their development. There is a sign seeming to promise tn e granting of favorS This should be an suspicious date to apply for promotion or for advances in salaries, for persons in authority are under a sway that encourages understanding and even gratitude.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Business executives are under configura- tion which presages hearty support and approval of their policies. The President of the United States and the heads of our naval, military and air forces should benefit from better comprehension of their war plans and preparations. Coop eration between business and farm interests is to prove more satisfac- tory in the new year when na- tional unity is to overcome many l obstacles that have affected the promotion of war tactics.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Induction of boys of eighteen into our armed forces will prove fortunate for the nation, it is forecast. Since this is an all-out war each persons quail lications must be carefully used where they will be most effective. The reckless courage of youth is needed in modern warfare, tn e seers emphasize, and they declare that among older men and women will be found training, experience and tried talents, which are in- valuable. When all the retired sci entists, executives, inventors and businessmen have been mobilized there will be new miracles added to the many performed in the in- dustiial world, astrologers fore tell
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Astrologers who foretold the Sec ond World War long before the peril was recognized again predict that the conflict will be an ex- tended one. While victory is prog nosticated as inevitable it will be costly in men as well as in prop erty. The seers advise all to make the most of each days blessings. This Christmas should be most reverently and thankfully celebrat- ed with prayer for a new year that is bringing supreme tests of courage and endurance.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of un- expected happiness and prosperity It is important to avoid selfish !, expenditures of money.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be versatile in talents and strong in character. Girls should be popular and boys most successful.
