crop during the period of last war
was about 10000, 900 boxes. To-
day the average yearly crop Of
oranges is more than 100000
boxes. A family which before the
last war bought oranges only about

Christmas stockings probably had
begun to use oranges for breakfast
and dessert in the 1920s and today

Grapefruit came into their big pop

Oranges and grapefruit contain sew
eral minerals and vitamins as well
as other food values. but their most
important contribution to the diet
Is probably vitamin c. They are one
Of the very richest sources of this
vitamin which every one needs every
day In winter-or whenever fresh
fruits and vegetables are scarce
meals are likely to run low in this
vitamin. The result is often such
common winter ills as aches in bones
and joints. rundown feeling, lin
gering colds or sore gums. Studies
of vitamin c show that large
orange or a grapefruit day will
keep these vague ills away.
Army rations must contain plenty
Of vitamin C foods, and the citrus
fruits are among those that our
armed forces depend on. The Brit

currants and rose hips, for example

TOBEY FLooRED

Senator Charles w. T'obey had his
eye glasses fixed recently, but he is
keeping it strictly to himself. For
behind those busted spectacles is an
untold story of one of the most
hectic and notifying incidents the
bald, organ-voiced New Hampshire
Senator ever experienced.
1t happened in his home town
of Temple, whose citizens several
months ago sent their Senator a
large, flamboyant umbrella as a
token of their indignation at his
appeasement affinites with the late
Neville Chamberlain.
This time Tobey received another
expression of this public disap-
proval-from an irate, l5o-pound
woman who. believed in less subtle
methods. She was seated in an
automobile in front of the village
post office, waiting for her husband
when Tobey drove up. AS he got
out of his car, she went up to him
Are you Senator Tobey?" she
asked.
I am, madam" was the dignified
reply.
Without further ado, the lady let
ny a punch TINT landed Tobey on

own
Tydings followed this advice. He
called Knox, told him bluntly how
Congress felt, counselled frank
report and the immediate appoint
ment of board of inquiry in which
both the public and Congress would
have confidence.
There can be no pussyfooting,
Frank Tydings said. Feeling Is
very strong here about the Pearl
Harbor affair and unless you and
the President act quickly and de-
cisively, Congress will take matters
into its own hands"
The next day, after long session
with the President, Knox made
public his report disclosing heavy
losses and admitting that the
Hawaiian commanders had not
been ION the alert" The following
day the President appointed the
board of Inquiry headed by Justice
Owen j. Roberts.

Typhus in Poland
New York Tines

New York I1meS)
Typhus is reported TO have broken out in Po-
land. If there is any disease that armies and gov
ernments dread it is this. They dread it so much
that during the first World War the Germans for
time kept aloof from Serbia, where 10000 died,
but not before 2500o0oO Russians infected.
Typhus is transmitted by lice and fleas. Since
the starving inhabitants of Poland, especially those
of the ghettos, huddled in close quarters with
no soap, no plumbing no heat, and forced to sleep
in their clothes to keep warm, it is little wonder
that even the Germans alarmed What is now
reported to be local epidemic may well spread to
other countries unless bathing and delousing es-
Establishments are provided and the Germans realize
that their own people are threatened by something
far worse than enemy attacks from the air. There
is present hope that vaccines even if they were
available, would do much good. Moreover, Professor
Rudolf Weigi the leading German authority on
yphus and experimenter with vaccines the one man
whose advice would be priceless in this extremity,
was driven from Berlin to Paris, where he is said
to have died--one price that may have already been
paid for persecution
During the last war the Germans shifted troops
between the Western and Eastern fronts time and
time again and established remarkable record for
good health--a triumph of management. If Tass,
the Soviet agency, is correct in announcing
that whole companies of enemy soldiers in Russia
are infested with lice something is radically wrong
with the German Armys medical organization, and
the plight of Poland becomes more understandable.
The Germans hardly attribute these reported
military typhus infections of troops to their re-
verses. There enough during the final
stages of the last war Moreover Poland is far
from the of conflict It's typhus is the direct
result of studied German cruelty and disregard
of elementary sanitary standards. Nor the Ger

WE'RE INSURED

Apparently, the government isn't enough worried
about the chance of bombing damage in Alaska
cities refuse to protect property against
damage due to action.
AT least the War Insurance Corporation
has extended its activities to include this Territory
which may be some indication that Uncle
Sam looks upon his northern possession
parativey safe from devastating raids by the enemy
Recommendation that Alaska be included in
the provisions of the new war insurance agency set
up under the Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
was made here recently by the Juneau Chamber of
Commerce. Word first received here last week
that benefits of the Federal insurance set-up had
been extended to the Territory.
With Jesse Jones, Federal Loan Administrator,
at its head, the War Insurance Corporation is pro-
vided with capital of sl0OOOOOoO to provide
sonable protection against losses resulting from
enemy attacks which may be sustained by owners
of property through damage to- or destruction
Of buildings, structures and personal property, in
Guiding goods growing crops and orchards"
Some items are not covered by the insurance.
No Insurance is offered for the loss of accounts,
bills currency, debts evidence of debt money notes,
securities paintings and other objects of art Nor
will protection be given to of property who,
lin the opinion of the President are unfrendy to
the United States"
Set up hurriedly at the time OF the outbreak
Of the war, the War Insurance Corporation has yet
to complete details of its organization. Eventually,
there probably will be forms fill out and declara
lions of property be made on the part of citizens
who wish to take advantage of this insurance. Pos
sbly there will be nominal premiums to pay for the
protection
For the time being, however, premium will
be charged for this protection, and declaration
reports required, unless there is loss Jones has
announced
This insurance is no guarantee for Alaska
against an attack by japanese raiders. 1t might
mean, however that government agencies in ex-
tending provisions of the insurance to Alaska feel
the Territory is pretty good risk At least have
not heard of the war insurance being Offered citi-

is not known, but around six thai
evening, Walsh and Representative
Carl Vinson, chairman of the House
Naval Affairs Committee, got, a
hurTy-up call from the White
House.
There the President asked them
to look over his speech. After
reading it, Walsh indicated he was
disappointed that it did not in
clude more information about Pearl
Harbor losses Walsh strongly
urged Roosevelt to be more frank,
but got nowhere Except for few
minor changes in text, the President
stuck by his original draft.
In the Senate the next morning
reaction to the speech was sour
The feeling was general that the
President had not been frank, and
the cloakrooms buzzed with talk of
ordering a congressional investiga-
ton to uncover the facts.
Vice President Wallace was dis
turbed by the situation and con-
suited his old Iowa friend, Gillette.
The Senator warned that something
had to be done quickly and urged
Wallace to go to the President and
tell him SO.
THE feeling is strong here that
the President held back and is
covering up" Gillette said. If
something isn't done right away
to allay anxiety, there will be a
congressional investigation and
nothing will stop it,"
Wallace said he didn't relish the
job of advising the President. He
knows what he is doing" the Vice
President demurred Il don't think
it would do any good for me to
see, him"
However, the next day private
word reached Senate leaders that
Knox had been ordered to Honolulu
for a first hand inspection.

holiday gifts of money will prevail,
despite government warnings.
Again the seers counsel thrift and

within the next six months.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Economics

the majority and wrote Roosevelt
assuring his sincere support and
offering TO serve in any capacity

So in this Naval Affairs meeting
Gillette determinedly challenged
the proposal of his fellow COM
mitteemen to call on the President
and urge him to include the Pearl

Il have been against the Presi-
dent many times in the past, Gill
lettc said. But the country is at
war now and the President, under
the Constitution, is our command
er-in-chief. 1t is not the business
CT this Committee to assume the
right to advise him on public state
ments. If you go through with
this plan, then 1 want the Presi-
dent to know that the Committee
did not act unanimously and that

But our purpose is only a
friendly one.' a committee member

] see two compelling objections TO
it. First. in time of war it is the
function of the Army and Navy
TO advise the President on military
matters. Second, if this Committee
goes to the White House, public
confidence may be seriously af-
fected. 1t might look like Congress
is jittery and has no trust in the
President and our military leaders
1T would be tragic if such a
thought became widespread. l warn
