that following a custom long in ef- feet. all salmon canned in Alaska had to be shipped to the States and then returned to Alaska. This struck me as a highly wQsteful and costly procedure, both in war time and in peace, since 1t utilized valuable car go space both on the run outside and the run back, to say nothing of the additional costs of handling. In wartime, considering the great shortage of cargo space and the shortage of manpOwer, this waste seemed to me nothing less than than criminal.
 'I began at that time an effort to have this condition changed. It has required over a year to bring this about, but am now able to announce that the situation has been rectified. As far as the Army is concerned, it is now permitted to place its orders locally and to have the salmon delivered directly from the nearest cannery to the Army post requiring it. As far as civil ians are concerned the War Food Administration has just issued an order which provides as follows:
 Tn order that merchants in Alas ka may obtain supplies of canned salmon directly from local canners 1 for consumption in Alaska by civil ians, the following procedure is re- commended:
 (1) The merchant should place his order with the canner specify ing the quantity and pieces of can ned salmon desired;
 (2) The canner receiving the or der should immediately communi- cate with the Food Distribution Ad- ministration, Washington, ask . ing that he be authorized under par agraph (h) of EDO A to make de- livery to the merchant of the quantity of each species orders; and
 (3) the Food Distribution Ad- ministration will then notify the canner as to whether he may make the sale or delivery from his gov- ernment."

 War agencies have been giving Alaskans an even break despite some of our grumbling, perhaps be- cause of it. At any rate, it wasn't many weeks ago that clamp down on meat shipments to Alaska was ordered for the Territory. With the Governor and Delegate Dimond car rying the Alaska protest in stern terms to Washington, OPA recon sidered; let Alaska meat shipments come through. Latest in this line | is action of the War Production 1 Board exempting Alaska newspapers from the restrictions of the inven- tory provisions order which is real ! ly limitation on stock order. It is probably true that Alaska newspa- pers would not have been able to comply for the same reason that other Alaska businesses can't be op- erated on the same basis as those in the States. But, regardless, WIPE saw the point; exempted Alaska newspapers.
 General rationing is another on which We in the north have had more than an even break. Fact is we've been fairly free from ration ing. There are other instances, all of which leads this colmun to but one conclusion. Next Thursday, September g, the Third Victory Bond drive opens. Alaska's quota

 Arnold, being a full general, out ranks both commanding officers of the other two Army commands - ground forces and special services.
 In addition, the U. S. air forces based in the Mediterranean and in Great Britain already have adopted the independent Royal Air Forces plan for establishing tactical air force commands, which bomb en- emy war installations far behind fighting lines.
 The greatest resistance to a sep arate air force has come from the Pacific, it was said, where Navy brass hats have been unbending in their opposition to any change in the present set-up.
 Such resistance even from minor ity groups, has been known before to result in blueprints being allowed to gather dust here until they be- came obsolete. It might happen in this case yet.
