WILL BE TRUSTEES

As he so aptly puts it.:
THE legislators will be the
trustees for the boys in the armed
services, for our priceless heritage
and the right of free government.
This is no time for special inter-
ests to be sneaking laws through
while we are concentrating on
winning the war"
The senator promises to wade
through the verbiage of every bill
which comes mp for consideration.
He has found long worded bills
usually are the ones with the jok-
ers in them. As an example he
showed this reporter a proposed
law that consisted of many pages.
With lightning-like speed he
picked fault after fault with it.
This sort of trickery," he
emphatically said, wont get
by this session"

ried Tina Gregg. She is the proud
mother of three children.

against the late Wesley LLOYD.
McCutcheon admits that the year
80 was not the one for Repubh-
cans 10 venture out. He was de-
feated by large majority.
McCuteheon was the only
Republican from Pierce eoun-
" in the l94l session of the
legislature and will he the
only Republican senator from
this county in the session this
year.
Contrary to popular belief, this
will be the first war session in the
states history. McCutcheon points
out that the state legislature met
in 1917 and had adjourned before
war was declared. He feels that
nothing matters in 1943 but vic
tory and a safe return of our men
in service.

he could pass them and obtain

LIFE PALLED ON HIM

Europe, with all its intrigue and
political maneuvering. began to
pail on McCutcheon. He was get
ting homesick for the west coast
of America. He admits that he
was also lonesome for q lass by
the name of Tina Gregg in Che
halls. Finally in 1920. he took
the fastest boat and train pos
sible and headed for home. The
biggest thrill in McCutcheon's
journey home was when the train
began to cross the Cascade noun
tains.
THE smell of the salt air
was like heaven TO me-" remi-
nisces McCutcheon.
The 26th district senator, with
a flare for getting things done,
decided to attend the University
of Indiana and get a law degree
in the shortest time possible. In
less than two years he absorbed
all that law school had to offer
and was ready for his bar exams
He passed.

LONDON, Jan. 20-Deputy Prime Minister Attlee, at the opening ses- sion of the British Parliament, said that Great Britain can look for ward to l943 with justifiable con- fidence" and successes scored by the Allied Nations last year may be viewed with sober satisfaction.
 The Deputy Prime Minister, de- scribing the Allied objective in North Africa, as one for total de- struction of the enemy forces.
 The Deputy Prime Minister told the House of Commons that bad weather in Tunisia restricted the movement of motorized forces and also seriously affected the provi- sions of the airfields."
 In conclusion, Attlee added: We have every confidence in American Commander-In- Chief in North Af- rica, It. Gen. D. D. Eisenhower, and British Task Force Commander, It. Gen K. A. N. Anderson, of the AL lied forces"

Second of two articles on women
 in the war effort
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-When Mrs. Roosevelt came back from Eng land, she had a great deal to say about the contribution of British women to the war effort. She un- derscored her opinion that it wouldn't be necessary to have a womanpower draft here.
 The War Manpower Commission and the Department of Labor paid a lot of attention to what she said. It hasn't been determined yet whe- ther we will have registration of men is more remote than that. Still, both of these things could happen here soon. That's why the Labor department and WING are study ing the English system. The results it has obtained have been remark able.
 If you want statistics, here they are, In Great Britain, of l7,250 900 women between IA and 65 years old, in late summer about 5000 900 slightly less than 50 per cent were in frll-time military or war industry jobs.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Jan. 2O.-- Expressing approval of Maj. Gen. Simon B. Buckner, Jr,'s request that Alaska liquor dealers cease bottle sales at pm. and bar sales at midnight, the Ketchikan Min isterial Association has wired Gov. Erneht Gruening, chairman of the Alaska War Council, that such &C., tion will cause an immediate de- crease in drunkeness among sol diers and civilians alike.
 This action followed a protest sent to Gov. Gruening by Mayor Harry Mccain who said forcing the dealers to close early would instigate bootlegging. The War Council approved the Alaska De- fense Commanders request la tt week and the issue is now up to the various city councils.
 Juneau and Wrangell already have amended ordinances to comply with the request.

The w ashinqton Merry Co Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. - The outsider who doesn't know the merry-go- round of Washington would never believe the extent to which wires have been pulled, and wheels with in wheels have been turned to get Charles E. Wilson, WIPES new pro- duction wizard, to go back to the old General Electric Company post whence he came.
 Paradox is that for months the Army has contended there were no top-flight production men on the War Production Board, there fore they must take over all pro- duction But now that. they have a man who has put new life into the airplane program and is per- forming production miracles, tn e Army wants to get him out of Washington.
 All of which indicates that actu- ally the Army's chief ambition, no matter what happens, is to run the show.
 Here is the inside story of what has happened.
 Not long ago, It. Gen. Brehon Somervell brought to Washington David Sarnoff, head of the Radio Corporation of America, made him colonel and had him survey the products which General Electric is producing for the Army.
 General Electric happens to be competitor of the Radio Corpor- ation of America, and to most peo- pie it seemed strange that Col. Sarnoff, the head of a strongly competing company, should be checking on General Electric. How ever, this was done just the same.
 Col. Sarnoff reported that out of 62 products General Electric was making for the Army, it was behind on two.

Women for War Work May Be Drafted; Plan
 In England Given 0ui

women are subject to draft if they are between 20 and 30 years old. So far, only 20-to-2 -year-olds have been called. But there is not much necessity for draft in d nation when half of the female popula- tion, capable of military or in- dustrial service, is already on the job.
 In England, the women's draft gives them most of the privileges extended to men. They can appeal for deferment in hardship cases. Every appeal board there contains at least one woman. True con- scientious objectors also have the right to deferment.
 An important factor is that with the great increase of women in industrial work has come some of Great Britain's major reforms in improved working conditions. Nur- series are provided for the child ren of working mothers. Women workers have representation on la por-management committees a nd increasing the efficiency of women employees.
 English girls l8 and over are accepted for war training as freely as men. Employment of women there is under far more government
