SOLON ALBERT
Few of you know that Scion
Albert, general director of the
Dramatic Oratorio + e t i V
Foundation, in New York, was
born in Mount Clemens where
he lived until 1914. This infor-
nation, which, frankly, is news
to us, comes from Whose Who
in American Music which lists
Albert. All of this came to light
when Mrs. Charles r. Ullrich,
the Well-known pianist, scanned
her Whose Who recently.
"A letter to- Albert brings
this response: II do not be-
iieve that l have any relatives
living in Mount Clemens at
the present time, and am
very sorry to say that l have
not been back there since my
family left there many years
ago. My family moved to Chi

where l lived until l914."

LIQUID SUNSHINE

JUNEAU, Alaska. - The remark liquid sunshine is used throughout Southeastern Alaska often as a re- ference to the heavy rainfall and the absence of the sun. While this reference is made somewhat as a joke, persons little realize that it does not take an expert to find much truth in that remark.
 Watch the sun evaporate any water or moisture that is present and notice that the breeze also evaporates and purifies this moisture only for it to return to earth in the form of rain and be absorbed by vegetation in those rainy regions. Vegetables grown under these con- ditions are best for you as they have absorbed and contain that LIQUID SUNSHINE.
 I have a sizely pile of LIQUID SUNSHINE GROWN TURNIPS, but not enough to go around to every one in Juneau, so I am offering them through local grocers who have stocked up on them in the order named:
 George Bros, Berts Cash Grocery, Gastineau Grocery, Home Grocery, Thrift Coop, James Ellen Cash Grocery, Thibodeaus Cash Grocery, Irving's "Whing Ding; Feusi and Jensen in Douglas.

 Bennett Sends Wire
 Bennett, New York's Attorney General, conceded the election to Dewey by sending him a telegram from New York which read:
 T wish you most successful ad- ministration."
 Later, Dewey issued statement calling for united and unswerving loyalty to President Roosevelt as our "Commander-in Chief" an d asserted, i've are all Americans to- gether.p
 New York's last Republican gov ernor was Nathan Miller who de- feated Al Smith in 1920 for two year term.

servers here, Lewis plan had this advantage: his opponents were all ready divided.
 In addition, there are some potent independent unions that have nothing to do with either the CIO or AFL, which might be re- cruited on new front s-.o o.
 Considering these things, is it any wonder that Lewis was will ing to call for new stack and another deal?
 The talk of a labor peace" be- tween the AFL and the CIO has been picked around ever since Lewis led the original rebellion. There have been times when 1t appeared more impossible than it has in recent weeks. But to those who know the extent of the juris- dictional differences, it never has appeared likely. The war effort hasn't changed the situation at all. In many instances, it has wid- ened the gap. A quick glance atsthe rapid growth of union member ship in the last year or so will make that understandable. Where the AF'L and CIO once fought over hundreds of members and jurisdic- tion on a score of jobs, they now i have to settle those same problems multiplied by hundreds.
 Probably much more in1por- tant factor in the now three-cor- nered labor union struggle is the trend, which manpower legisla- tion will take.
 | If 1t comes down to a work-or- fight ultimatum, with wages con- trolled, the union game may have to be. called off for the duration for lack of cards-at least so far as the three leaders are concerned
 As a matter of fact, with James F.. Byrnes now firmly in the sad die as stabilization czar, and likely to be able to call forth any further Legislation necessary to enforce l economic controls on all fronts that time may already have ar rived @

MODERN HISTORY MADE BY ALCAN
 HIGHWAY CREWS
North, South BuIIdozers Meet South of Alaska
 Border

WHITEHORSE, Y. T., Nov. A. In the spruce forest of Yukon Ter ritory today the final link in tN Alaskan Highway was complete1 with dramatic suddenness.
 Corporal Refines Sims, Jr., of Philadelphia, driving a bulldozer from the north, saw trees starting to fall toward him. As he quickly backed his big machine away, a bulldozer driven by Private Alfred Jalufka, of Kennedy, Texas, broke through the underbrush.
 Crews Meet
 Working from the north and south, the crews on. the highway at last had met. Corporal Sims, a husky Negro, leaped from his bull dozer and warmly shook Jalufka's s hand. It was the Yukon Territory version of the driving of the golden spike
 Three men were nearby when the historic moment occured-Lieuten- ants Ralph w. Hunt and G. F.. Jones, and Harold w. Richardson of Chicago, Western Editor of the En- gineering News-Record. q never saw anything so exciting and filled with history" Richardson said. Formal Opening Set
 Immediately after the meeting took place, both Sims and Jalufka turned around their bulldozers and began widening the trail they had opened, In fact, Jalufka had been forcing his machine through the forest so fast that his face was bloody from branch scratches.
 The meeting occurred 20 miles east of the Alaska Yukon International boundary at Beaver Creek. Not fa1 from that point officials of Canada and the United States will formally 1 dedicate the Alcan Highway on No vember 20, with many. dignitaries in both civilian and military life attending.

BOND QUOTAFOR
 AUGUST LOWERED
S1S5,OOO,OOO Deducted From Previous Quota;
 July Sales Fell Short

Washington, Aug. 3-(UP)-The nation was given e $l85. 1000, 900 "breather" in the August war bond quota today.
 Lowering of the August quota from 5000 100000 to $815 ,0O0,0OO was announced by Treasury Secre- tary Henry Morgenthau, Jr.
 He reported that July War Bond sales fell nearly $10O, 100000 below the $1 900, COG, 900 set for that month.
 Morgenthau said he still expects the country to buy an average of $1, GOO, ,0O0, 900 of war bonds month, but seasonal variations in income distribution" made @ uniform monthly quota "impracticable." Some months, he said, will have quotas of more than 5000, 900 ,000.
 July bond sales totaled $900 900, GOO which Morgenthau said was high ly gratifying" He was particularly pleased with the sale of $508, COG, 900 of "E"-"Little Man's"-Bonds, 8 sharp increase over June.
 This increase, he said, was due largely to the 10 per cent payroll savings plan. At the end of July 11O,0 firms employing more than g, 900 900 persons were using that payroll deducation plan. In that month 100000 workers authorized deduction of $20O, 900 900 from their pay for war bonds.
 The treasury estimated that more than 100000 individuals were war bond holders at the end of July.
 New York again headed the state quotas for August with a goal of $l60, ,O00, 900. Nevada was the lowest with a quota of $970, 900.
 The quotas by states and territor- les, included:
 Connecticut &l9, 900 900; Maine $4,- 500, 900; Massachusetts $3O,5OO ,O0O; New Hampshire $2,900, 900; Rhode Island 5000. 900 and Vermont $1,- 100000.

 New Rationing Psychology?
 With rumors of more rationing in the offing, many consumers are clamoring for it. Though they dislike the red tape, here is their argument: When you think an article is getting scarce, but aren't sure it's to be rationed, you are tempted to hoard. When you know 1t is to be rationed, you expect to be able to get fair share of 1t, so you don't hoard.

LABOR GROUPS MAY
 END ALL RIVALRY
ClO President Murray Pro- poses AmalgamatiOn to
 President Green of AFL

Pittsburgh, Aug. 3.-(UP)-Amal- gamation of the American Fedora tion of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organization was seen to- day, stemming from CIO President Philip Murray's offer to recommence negotiations with the AFL.
 Competent labor observers point ed out that some basis for labor unity must have developed behind the scenes for Murray not only to make his offer but to name a com mittee to treat with committee of the AFL.
 William Green, President of the AFL, was not immediately avail able for comment, but there was no doubt that Murray's offer would be accepted at once. The AFL has maintained a committee for several years authorized to deal with the C1O on the question of labor unity.
 Conspicuously committed from Murrays plans was John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work CTS, the CLOS largest affiliate which hasn't paid its per capita dues in months, and, consequently, Is not in good standing. Lewis had been chairman of the CLOS previous peace committee. By naming new committee, Murray rubbed him out of the picture.
 But there have been developments particularly the organizing activi- ties of district 50, United Mine Workers, in fields not connected with coal mining, such as dairy farming--Suggesting that Lewis is planning to establish national labor federation in opposition to both the AFL and CIO. This may have hastened Murray's decision. Lewis recently busted him as a vice. president of the United Mine Work CTS.
 Letter To Green
 Murray made his proposal in a letter to Green. Tomorrow they will both be in Chicago--Murray to ad- dress the convention of the United Automobile, Aircraft and Agricul- tural Implement Workers, Green to attend a meeting of the AFL ex- ecutive council.
 Pending the continuation of unity negotiations, Murray suggested to Green that they establish joint committee which, with the aid of an impartial arbitrator, would settle all jurisdictional disputes--this being to prevent interference with war pro- duction such as occurred at Pontiac. Mich, last week when such a dis pute between rival grocery clerk unions closed two war plants.
 Murray's proposal of unity negot- iations seemed added to his letter casually, as an after-thought, sug- gesting further that much prelim- mary spade work had been done. He recalled that the AFL and CIO had set up a joint labor victory commit tee to meet with President Roose- welt to deal with labor's part In the war effort. He told Green he thought the work of this committee should be intensified"
 Then he reminded Green that the two organizations had joined with government and management to prevent work stoppages whereby the CIO and AFL agreed to submit all industrial disputes to the war labor board.
