Eastern Drivers
Face New Slash
Despite Trip Ban

WASHINGTON, Jan. s QNS).
Many quarters today viewed
.OPA's ban on pleasure driving as
an emergency stopgap which must
be followed within a week or two
by additional action to bring the
EaSt's petroleum supply and de-
mand picture into balance.
One official frankly stated that
he did not believe the prohibition
against use of the Atlantic Sea-
boards nearly 100000 passenger
cars for anything but family per-
Isonal necessity and occupational
driving would provide a solution.
TWO ALTERNATIVES
lie foresaw two alternatives:
An improvement in the
supply situation, extremely diff
cult as result of bad weather
and floods which have reduced
tank car shipments Of petroleum,
or;
"a cut in the Az gasoline
rations held by some 100000
motorists in II eastern states
and the District Of Columbia.
1t was explained that the re-
cent cut in gasoline coupons from
four TO three gallons; the 10 per
cent reduction in fuel oil coupons
of residential consumers for heat
ling period three in the East and
the p per cent slash in fuel oil
Irations of commercial users had
not wiped out the daily deficit.
I The OPA ordered its inspectors
Into action and enlisted the aid OF
state. county and municipal police
in enforcing the ban on pleasure
motoring. Specifically, OPA ruleC
that "A, "B' and CO books may
land may not be used as follows
"NO person to whom a basic
ration has been issued may use
or permit the use of such ration
for-any driving i'm the gasoline
shortage area other than family
or personal necessity driving
for which no adequate aiterna-
tive means of transportation are
available, or OccupatiOnal driv-

 The paper has criticized the Darlan deal the Governments policy labor and treatment of Ne groes. It has also according to Attorney General Riddle, discouraged participation in the by de- claring the war is only "an imperiastic clash"
 Post Office Attorney William c. OBrien declared it made difference whether everything said by The Militant is true He did not show that par ticipation in the was actually discouraged, or even whether such effect was intended.
 The American Civil Liberties Union is helping to carry the to the District of Columbia courts and resolution has been introduced into the Senate asking for investigation.
 We agree with almost nothing The Militant says. But we believe it has right to say it unless it is proved the effort is actually injured by it's out bursts
 That only be proved by open public hear ings in our Courts.

Insignificant?
Cincinnati Enquirer

i~ Cincinnati Enquirer
 Plane losses were Insignificant compared with the destruction our attack brought on the enemy"
 Often in going the days war news, we read sentences similar to the one above They al- ways set us wondering
 "Insignificant?" Perhaps, when the magnitude of total effort is considered the losses of a plane or two, with their crews not serious im- pairments to victory But to the folks at home those losses come with staggering force. ' Short terse teegrams from the War Department, announcing with regret that Private Smith or Cap tain Jones is missing in action" often the most significant events to in the lives of those who receive them. To the homes where these mes sages fall all hope all joy for the time is obteraed by fog of distress. Even eventual victory for which those loved died is forgotten. The thing that remains is heartache and tears; loneliness and sorrow. To many father and mother, wife and child it seems for little while, that the could be won that the things of life they held most dear already had been lost
 But when the first shock is gone there must to these who left realization of the tre- mendous value of the gift they have made to the world They have given part of their hearts that freedom might be preserved for all men. Theirs is a great glory; theirs a noble contribution
 Those the things think about when we read of insignificant" losses No sacrifice however small comparatively is insignificant when it is laid the altar of international liberty; when it is de- signed to win happiness and laughter for all the men and women, boys and girls who shall live in all the worlds tomorroWS.

IN TROUBLE BEFORE

It is now revealed that the Car negie-Illinois Steel Company, re- gently indicted for falsifying rec ords for steel plates for ships, had an experience of this kind once before.
 Back in 1894, the Carnegie Com pany was also charged with deceiv- ing the Government. Furthermore, the charges against it were almost identical with those made by the Truman Committee and the Jus tice Department today.
 At that time Charley Schwab, later head of Bethlehem Steel, was superintendent of Carnegie, and when called before the House Naval Affairs Committee, admitted most of the charges Schwab was one of the founders of the Navy League, organized by heads of the big steel companies to promote a bigger Navy, and Carnegie at that time was engaged in making steel armor plates for Navy battleships.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not cOmspe"
FRIDAY, JUNE IS

After the morning hours adverse planetary influences dominate to- day. Shipping is subject to threat ening sign.
 HEART AND HOME: Nerve strain may be felt by many per- sons as summer temperatures pre- vail. elf-discipline that conserves the strength of workers of every class is enjoined by astrologers who foresee much illness in midsummer when physical resistance is reduced by weariness as a result of devo- tion to war tasks. The safeguarding of health is a distinct patriotic duty of everyone and especially Of all who are engaged as employees in Government industries.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Civilian needs which become more pressing each week will be considered to a limited extent by the Government, Household necessities in the form of labor saving devices will be man. ufactured more and more as the season advances. Women who have gone back to the washtub will find relief in the restoration of modern methods of doing laundry work. This recognition of domestic diffi- culties will be helpful, it is fore cast, but there is sign which presages the breaking down Of much household machinery.
 INTERNATIONAL A F F AIR s.: Increased progress in our effort to annihilate Axis submarines is to be expected next month when new inventions will facilitate un- derseas bombing and prevent the success of group U-boat attacks on United Nations shipping. The full moon of this date eliminates at Washington and gives added as- surance that the United States will be the final arbiter of world des- tiny, according to a London as- trologer.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of strange experience. Good fortune will be realized but there is danger of ir1- position or deception in love af- fairs
 Children born on this day prop ably will be remarkably clever ana talented. They should be cheerful in disposition and most compan- ionable.

COMMUNICATION
Taku Harbor,
 June Is, 1943.

Ac3 AChcs To the Editor:
 June 14th, l943, was observed re- gently by the Filipinos and Ameri- cans in Taku Harbor as a ''Taku Harbor Big Day" It is very inter esting to note that, that was the first time in the history of Alaska that an American Flag was raised on flagpole about 100 feet high erected in front of the Filipino Bunk House overlooking the calm, clear blue water of Taku Bay. It was celebrated with a short but very patriotic program in which more than 100 Filipinos and Amer jeans participated.
 Never before, in the history of Taku, has there been such an ob- servance in which all of us had shown up our wholehearted coop eration in making that remarkable day great success. An American National anthem was sung by the crowd, accompanied by the newly organized Taku Jazz Band, while the flag was raised little by little It was raised in a military way by the guidance of MT Artemio Ra- elmo, veteran of a foreign war and at present a licensed pilot by
 
 citation of U.S.A.
 One of the most important things which made the day very wonder ful was the honorable presence of our beloved Superintendent MT. Al N. Minard. Other high ranking employees of Taku Harbor Cannery which added to the beauty and happiness of the day was the par ticipation of our bookkeeper Mir. Mark Matthias and our assistant bookkeeper MT. Kenneth S. Eber- hart, and our cannery foreman MT A. w. Burrell.
 AS the flag was waving up in the air, seeming to be watching and smiling at the crowd, the writer himself delivered a welcome ad- dress, and MT. Frank Carrancho the delegate gave the closing fe- marks. The Taku Jazz Band with their wonderful and newly invent ed instruments played lullaby like music at intervals of the other part Of the program. Never before have I heard such wonderful sounds of instruments like those Members of the Taku Jazz Band are MT. Mike Bobila, leader and Messrs. Jimmie Corpuz, Rafael Nina, Ale. jandro Callejo, Leo Bolos
 It is indeed great privilege for all the Filipinos in Taku Harbor

the President, what are we fight ing for? Are we fighting for free competition, or for Nazi monopoly. How do we know that Cyanamid won't go back to it's old dealings with In'G. Farben after the war? Why not let the various Mexican companies do business with any American drug and chemical com f,any they want to? We don't have to give the business all to one com pany?"t h
 eThe Vice President and Attorney General Riddle supported Leo 100 percent. But they could not con- vince Rockefeller, Taylor and Ache son. Finally, as the debate con- tinued, Crowley remarked.
 "Well, have in my pocket a note from the President which may settle the matter" And he pulled out a memo addressed to Wallace.
 The President had put himself definitely on record against the proposed monopoly That settled the matter

JAP-AMERICAN

Martin Dies, looking for new bo- gesmen to keep his Committee going Since Stalin dissolved the Comintern, has picked on the in- termed Japs, many of them Ameri- can citizens. This recalls an incl dent which occurred in Pottstown, Pa, some time before Pearl Har- Dor, when Willard Dorang got a letter from Japanese on the West Coast saying that he had been a buddy of his son, Chuck Dorang, Killed in the last war. He wanted to visit the family of his old friend.
 MT Dorang consulted Pennsyl- vailia state policeman who had served with his son in France, but who assured him that there was no Jap in their outfit. The police man suggested that when the Jap arrived he would take a great pleasure in pinching the phoney.
 When the Jap did arrive, he be- gan talking very intelligently with the Dorang family about his dead alleged comrade. when suddenly a motorcycle pulled up in front of the house, and the cop came in- side. The family expected an im- mediate arrest.
 ss+'Good Lord" yelled the cop, its Tokier' &#
 It was Toxic Slocum, Japanese American, to whom the President gave the pen with which he signed the bill giving citizenship to Jap anese who fought in World War I.
 s"In France" explained the police man afterwards, we never consid- cred Toxic a Zap He was just an other American fighting side by side with his buddies 9R
 When Pearl Harbor came, how ever, Tokie Slocum was interned along with thousands of other Japanese Americans, many loyal, some not, one-fourth of them cnil- dren. He has since been released, together with others who have

under the guidance and good man. agement of our loving foreman, MT. Anacleto Abella in bringing the wildered looking surroundings of the Taku bunkhouse to a better and more wonderful shape. In front of the, bunkhouSe is a Victory Park which is planted with trees and Bermuda Qawno grass; on one end of the bunkhouse is a Victory vege- table garden which can supply, without any shadow of doubt, the whole Taku Harbor Back of it is a big, clean raspberry farm; and at the other end fish pond where lots of trout and many different kinds of fish are swimming gayly. f AS you walk along Paradise Ave nue, you can see different kinds of, sport games such as swinging rings, parallel bars, horseshoes, shot-put, pingpong table, volley ball court and many others. There are lots of things around here now which are very alluring to the eyes. All of them make Taku more beau tiful and it might be considered a very fascinating place and a real paradise of the midnight sun, AS a matter of fact the Taku of today is very different from the Taku of yesterday.
 Because we would like others to know what we are doing at our cannery, I am writing this for The Empire.

The grand jury, in Pittsburgh, after indicting the company itself refused to indict company officials The result is important. Under the law, a corporation cannot be sent to jail. It can only be fined. Indi- vidual officers can be jailed, but in this case mere fines will be paid The Truman Committee is waiting to see whether these fines can be deducted from cost-plus contracts and showed on for Uncle Sam to pay himself.

ALASKA HEALTHY

The Alaskan war zone despite it's drab weather, "is perhaps the healthiest front in the world, says Army doctor Col Dwight Young, who has seen serv- ice in China and the Philippines. There are no body lice, hence typhus. Lockjaw is almost unknown in Alaska since the soil has not been contaminated with the organism yet. There are no bedbugs. Malaria does not exist although there are malaria carrying mosquitoes There are few sources for the spreading of social diseases in the Aleutians.
