 SEN FINlBIL = PBlRIgGOPE

From some of the observers who have sat in on the Haas-Sharpe- Walker labor department fiasco hearings, details of which you will read elsewhere in this valuable fam fly journal, we get it that the up- shot will be about nil aside from furnishing interesting reading and providing a political topic for the lawmakers in Juneau during their 60-day session. Legal experts say that nothing of a criminal nature has been unearthed against either Haas or Walker. They did admit to some political indiscretions while on official business, but nothing that hasn't been done in political office since the first man sought Ito serve the public as the office seekers put it. Reaction, say these observers, is likely to be a public feeling that Haas and Walker were persecuted a little, and it may ul- timately boost their political stock On the other side of the fence, ourI observers express the opinion that 1t might act unfayorably against Commissioner Sharpe for having raised the issue in the first place. Dope is that Haas will continue with his better job with the U. S labor setup, that Senator Walker will continue to be a senatorial re- presentatiVe of the first Division and that Sharpe will carry out his mandate of the people as Labor Commissioner. The boys, however, according to the best information, won't be having their cocktails at the same bar, at least until time has healed some of the wounds, al- ways left in the wake of a political controversy.

 Territorial House has put the skids under the bill which would have given the Governor extraor- dinary war time powers. After the Senate had approved it five toI three, House turned it down nine to seven. Dope it that had the Gov ernor been an Alaskan, House would have approved the bill in the general interest of the war effort, but they hesitated to delegate pow CT to a man whom they still label an fOutsider;" main point being that it was a slap at the old cryI for home rule Why, they argued, delegate powers to a Federal offic- ial while consistently plugging for home rule? Many Alaskans will agree with them
 **&*
 Chance for Alaskans to get the opportunity to elect their Governor is seen in the Puerto Rico situation. President Roosevelt in trying to dis entangle the Tugwell mess in the southern island possession, has pointed out that it will be the pol icy of the Federal government to extend such election privileges. Should Puerto Rico elect it's Gov ernor, observers see the same pos sibility for Alaska and Hawaii, if proper stress is placed in the right spot.
 At any rate, it would appear the

The Coming Millennium

revolution is being planned in the American way OF
life If those in Washington who have been planning things
for the past years have their way the America that
will emerge from the will have little resemblance to
what it has heretofore been The United States News,

overall picture Of what is being planned by the super
