semi skilled and unskilled. You're
going to need every worker you
can get. But labor Is going to Be
short, very short. That means that
no worker can be overlooked. It
means that skilled workers must
not be wasted on unskilled Jobs
It means that we must get our
whole labor force to work. with
every man doing a Job that Ats
the limit Of his skill and strength.
On the availability ot Negro
workers, the booklet points out:
There are 120,000,000 white
people In this country There are
almost 100000 Negroes. More than
100000 Of these American Ne
groes are workers. They are men
and women of all skills and trades.
In all parts Of the country. Over
$4,000 of them are already equip
ped for skilled and xhite-collar
work, and more are being trained
daily"
Declaring that the whole nation
pays the cost of discrimination,
the pamphlet states:
LIMITS PRODUCTION
Discrimination limits produc-
tion-because 1t keeps needed work
ers out Of war plants: it keeps
skilled men on unskilled Jobs; it
creates artificial labor shortages.
every time you pass over a
Negro worker, for no other reason
than his color, either in hiring or
in promotion, you pace che more
obstacle in the path Of all-out
production
POINTING out that owe are using
them but we are not using them
enough" the booklet declares:
Negroes are beng used today
in all branches of war industry. In
United States Navy Yards, in
arsenals, In Army environments,
and at naval bases, thousands OF
skilled and semi-skilled Negroes
are at work Before the Govern
ment tackled the problem, how
ever, nearly three-quarters Of all
our defense plants refused to hire
Negroes except as janitors. Many
of those who did hire Negroes for
industrial work confined them to
jobs below their skills. Can we af-
ford to limit production-merely
because of the color of a workers
skim"

FieId'Laboraiofy Aid
To Health Protection

Field laboratory equipment and
personnel to aid physicians in the
identification of certain diseases
and thus assist in controlling out
breaks of diseases in early stages
can be furnished upon short notice
throughout the Territory by the
Division of Public Health Labora
tories of the Territorial Depart
ment of Health.
The field laboratory has been in
strumental in the discovery of hui
man carriers of contagious disease
and the isolation of these carriers
has accounted for the disappear
ance of endemic cases of the di
sease in sthe locality where previ-
ously reported, according to the
department authorities. In this
connection surveys have been made
in areas where sporadic outbreak
of meningitis, typhoid fever ana
diphtheria have been discovered.
During the current emergency
this division has been able to offer
its services to the Alaska branch
of the armed forces in the sani-
tary control of their water and
milk supplies as well as in labora
tory diagnosis of certain communi-
cable diseases. This service will be
continued until adequate laboratory
facilities have been developed in
these branches of the service, ac-
cording to the Health Department.

Museum Gets
Kinda Hat

One of the finest Thlinget cere-
monial hats ever placed on display
went into the showcases at the
Territorial Museum here today.
1t is the Kinda hat, which ORR
ginally belonged to Annahoots.

museum by Lloyd Winters, Juneau

presented with the hat.
The high-crowned headpiece is
made of spruce roots and painted
with native paints.

Just as the tone of the magazine
was changed, so was the tone of
our own news and international
broadcasts that go to South Amer
lea, changed to meet the deluge of
Axis CUFF. The nations TO the south
had the facts of the Pearl Harbor
and Philippine attacks as soon as
they were made public here. And
in recent weeks, they have had a
lot more information about the
great acceleration of our defense
efforts than they had in the days
of mere education and culture.
Not so long ago, there were
only 200 employees in the
Rockefeller office. Today, there
are approximately 500. There
are IL international broadcast
stations operating in this coun-
try, and although not all are
directed entirely to Latin AM
erica, many of them are.

As one example of how
quickly we moved to defeat
this: when the Japs pulled their
sneak attack on Hawaii, EN-
Guardia,' the Spanish and Por-
tuguese nguage magazine
published by the Rockefeller
office, was on the presses. I'm
me6iately, the first five pages
of the magazine were killed
and factual news stories of
events in the Pacific and of

New York, Dec, 24-tUPl-Presi- dent Ford Prick of the National League clubs training in Florida in iszS in line with the general move to curtail wartime transportation problems.
 Prick added that as far as he could see there was no need for post poning the opening of the major league season.
 "There is no way of knowing, ot course" he said, what may develop in the next few weeks but now as ! see 1t, the season should and will open on time"
 An Alonee
 As far as could be determined, only the Cincinnati Reds remained com- mitted to training in Florida.
 The Dodgers. Giants, Yankees, Athletics, Cardinals, Pirates, Cubs White Sox and Browns all have made plans to switch to training sites nearer home. The Pirates Cubs, White Sox and Browns all previously had trained in California while the others used sites in Flor ida for their conditioning.
