trusted to keep from the enemy any news which might be useful to him We have groaned and sweat cd under arbitrary limitations that seem to be sense less to us and think a great deal of them are no matter how important they might have appeared to the officials who made them. s
 The newspapers have played ball at the price of sacrificing much that was questionable. Given intelligent cooperation by responsible officials, the newspapers can take care of whatever comes along The newspapers have been taking great deal to date with very little cooperation on the part of the ceilsoring news-siraners
 The need for free journalism in the United States has never been greater than it is now. The urge to muzzle that freedom always is present among the ircompetents who be completely eliminated from the Government and who are especially likely to be on hand in the greatly expanded activities of war times
 Newspapers cannot be stand-offish for sec ond in the face of any legislation that seeks to seal official lips or hide the ordinary processes of govern ment behind the al-inclusive screen of national defense"
 The consequence would be disastrous

SOCIAL SEtJhHY :
 EXTENSIONS ASKED

Legislation which would prevent workers entering the armed forces from losing their federal insurance protection was asked of Congress last week in report from the So. cial Security Board by Federal Sel curity Administrator Paul V. Mc- Mutt. H ls
 Consideration was also asked for the safeguarding of insurance rights of persons taking civil defense jobs with the Federal Government which are not covered by the Fed eral old-age and survivors insurance system.
 The Board also believes that old- age and survivors insurance protect ton should now be extended tc farm laborers. domestic servants and all other excluded groups oi workers.
 In the field of unemployment in- surance, the Boards report sug- gested more extensive coverage;

CONFIDENTIALLY

Recent dispatches which have reached Alaska from the States indicate that an i-informed public is going to be ill-informed, if that is possible if the War Secrets Bill" introduced recently by Attorney General Francis Riddle is passed by Con- gress.
 Under the guse that the new act would prevent military secrets from reaching the enemy, the bills packers have taken of the iniquitous stabs at freedom of the press that has been brought before an American Legislature.
 Proposed is law imposing fine of 5000 and two years Imprisonment for revealing by publica- tion either the contents meaning of any record which administrative officer of the Government has seen fit to mark confidential"
 By the terms of this proposed law any scheming minor executive in Washington and there are many of them could cover his incompetence by simply rubber stamping all papers pertaining to his ad- minstration confidential" What the bill would establish would be arbitrary censorship
 It is obvious that the bills very language is sweeping enough to cover many other things than genuine military secrets. It creates dangers much more real than those it purportedly seeks to pre- vent One Of the easiest ways to lose this would be to clamp down the lid that freedom of dis cussion and of criticism without which mistakes of judgment and of policy cannot be corrected promptly
 The bill is sweeping in its powers that it would sanction the release of information to par tcular persons certain classes of persons" These classes not defined and this could mean for instance that it could be proclaimed that all data shall be given to only redheaded persons and not others The bill is that poorly drafted
 If there has been any great spreading of mili- tary information by the press, information that would aid the enemy We have failed to see any evidences of it. We readily see how loose talk on the part of the civilian population, loose talk en- couiaged by the fact that the civilian population now is greatly restricted in obtaining any kind of news through censorship regulation and administration we can see how some of this word of mouth babbling may have helped the enemy Fifth Columnists AK The past few months have proved to us that newspapers and newspapermen of America can be

 The two New Jersey men who paid more than s4O0O to a thoughtful stranger who promised to teach them how to be detectives and get jobs with the Federal Bureau of investigation made mistake They have indeed got in touch with the FBl alter two years conscientious work and sem-starvation but their introduction not happy. They are held as material witnesses against their teacher There is next to no chance that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover will care to employ them
 One prays that one will ever follow thelr example A country full of amateur detectives pre- tending to be G-men would be unpleasant But one has kind of sneakng sympathy with them They had good time while it lasted They had three ring code They shadowed people. They lived on 20 cents day in order to get hard. sardonic smile fingered faintly on their lips as they toyed with their doughnuts and coffee and watched other persons wolfing down steaks They were often cold and hungry but they felt mysterious and superior They dreamed of a day when the headlines would carry their names in connection with frustrated plot to blow up the Rocky Mountains or let the water out of New York Harbor.

especially seems to offend the boys in the Office of Facts and Fig ures.
 So when they went over pro- posed speech by Assistant Secre- tary of State Adolf Berle the other day, they returned it with couple of split infinitives noted on the margin.
 It happens, however, that MT Berle is quite stylist himself. He taught for many years at Columbia has written two or three books, and has assisted the President with many of his speeches. So Berle is now suggesting that the State De- partment set up a board to cor rect the punctuation and grammar of MT. MacLeish's poetry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Juf1eau's Baranof Hotel was just three years ole last Tuesday By now there has been ample time for the Alaskans skeptcs in 1889 to realize that this huge s6OoO0o business venture 1000 miles from nowhere" is no white elephant
 Three years ago, the building of such large hotel anywhere in Alaska was thought to be an extremely ambitious business venture Today, the Baranof Hotel has become known throughout the United States as "the best hotel in any town this size" Its excellent has fully justified the optimism of the men who projected it.
 The Baranof Hotels value to Juneau cannot be measured It has become social center for many local activities and has helped to put the town on the map Alaskans should be well proud of It.

 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, MARCH 13

 HEART AND HOME: Women are under an suspicious rule while this configuration prevails. It is most promising for domestic ties and seems to foreshadow romance for the young Whatever contributes to amusement of the finer sort is under good sway. Players on stage, screen and radio should bene- fit. This should be happy we'd ding day and one that will prove how silly are many oldtime adages.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is a lucky day for signing contracts and for launching new ventures in busi- ness. Chemists and inventors will be responsible for novelties that be- come the foundation for pioneer ventures in manufacturing Substi- tutes will multiply as long-used ma terials are withdrawn from the markets; many of which will gain lasting popularity, Retail shops should profit this month when thrifty women lay in stores of clothing and food for future use.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Old ideas will vanish as Negroes prove their ability to compete with men of any race. The stars presage the recognition of heroes and civilians who contribute brilliantly to Ameri- can achievements in the war EX- traordinary talents will be discov- cred among the colored folk of the United States. Writers, musicians and painters will receive recogni- tion. Architects will win fame in postwar building which will as- sume novel characteristics.
 | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Air engagements of the United the superiority of American fight States will prove in coming weeks CTS as well as American airships Df all varieties. Since domination of the air is necessary in gaining vic- tory concentration upon production of late models of bombers and other splendid mechanisnls will focus na- tionaI attention.

day, however, under McCornlack's leadership, the bill was defeated 226 to 62--a tally which left no doubts about who spoke for the majority"
 Note Two undercover factors were responsible for this vote, which probably did not reflect the general sentiment of the country. one was a tremendous pressure drive by the AFL and CIO in the district of each Congressman. This was particularly effective with Re- publicans. who. with their eyes on next falls congressional elections, are very political-minded. Second, was the failure of the farm bloc to support the bill because 1t feared labor reprisals against the parity and other poodle grabs which the farm bloc is after The bloc has been counted on to kill the 40-hcur week, but the laborites served blunt notice that if the bill was passed, labor would ax the farmers Re- suit, the farm bloc ran for cover and the bill went into the ashcan.

FORMER JUNEAU RE5lDENT HAy1
 SONS FOR NAVY

A former Juneau resident is do- ing her bit in the present war, getting her three sons, who attend ed the public schools here. into the Navy and when this is done, she is going to apply for enlist ment. The former Juneau resi- dent is Mrs. Grace S.. Neiderhaus- CT. The Seattle Post -Intelltgencer, of date February 2l, had the fol- lowing article: st
 A mother who had already given one son in the navy escorted an- other into the Seattle navy recruit ing station yesterday, then made plans to join the navy herself.
 She is Mrs Grace s. Netherlands CT Of Alderwood Manor, regis tered nurse in the employ of a Se- attle physician for the past eleven years. s ss'} z

The congressional pension act created furor. but one banker is publicly on record for it. He is J. H. Nakdimen. president of the City National Bank of Fort Smith, Ark, who defended pensions for congressman on the ground such a system would do much to elimin. ate corruption" The next time beefy isofationist Representa- tive Frank Keefe of Wisconsin tries to defend his voting record on de- fense and foreign policy bills, it's a good bet he won't tangle with c. E. Broughton. scrappy editor Of the Sheboygan Press. Broughton went to the trouble of digging up a detailed record of Keefe's votes and the result didn't make good reading-for Keefe, who faces a tough reelection fight this year.

4O-HOUR FIGHT

The furious battle over the bill to suspend the 40-hour week in war plants caused a personal rift between two House leaders that may take a long time to heal.
 When Representative John Me Cormack, Massachusetts liberal, was elected Democratic Floor Leader one of his strongest supporters was colleague who had nothing in common with Mccormack except friendship-anti- New Deal, anti-La- Dor Representative Gene Cox of Georgia
 It was with hushed astonishmeut, therefore, that the House listened to Cox's bitter attack against Me Cormack during the stormy debate over the anti-40 hour proposal. His voice strident in anger, Cox de- nounced Mccormack on the ground that his opposition to aboliShing the 40-hour week was not good sportsmanship, and I wonder if il is good leadership"
 T have hoped" the Georgian thundered. that at some time the g n l e m n from Massachusetts would come to a realization that he is supposed to speak for tht majority of this House rather thar for somebody else
 Friends rushed to Mccormack! defense, but he made no reply. Mex

 migrated to Canada and applied his New England shrewdness to building grain elevators and pulp mills. Today he and Premier Mac kenzie King are the two strong men of Canada.
 Howe has no objection to the U. s. Army flying over Canada, but like good many U S.-British busi- nessmen he is looking beyond the war. And he seems adament against a U. s. commercial airline getting foothold over any part of Canadian territory = especially a route which after the war will be the shortcut over Alaska to Asia And he haggled for several weeks. while precious time passed, vital to the strengthening of Alaska.
 On the other hand. the Army finds that commercial airline, accustomed to flying under winter conditions. can develop air routes quickly and efficiently, permitting the Army to concentrate on other things. That is why Northwest Air lines finally will do the job for the Army
 Note: On the American side of the negotiations, the Air Corps got only the most dignified and cir cumspect help from General Stan ley Embick. coast artilleryman, who feels toward the Armys ground forces as the Admirals do toward the ha ff1eshin
