Following War

Washington, Sept. 2 up A
wartime boom in the population of
Alaska has removed one OF the
principal objections TO masking that
huge territory twice the size OF
Texas-the 49th state OF the union.
and renewed drive TO pass a
statehood bill is expected In Con
gress this fall.
Delegate Anthony J. Dimond OF
Alaska, who is now completing a
tour OF his territory to sound out
current sentiment on statehood,
estimates that nearly 100000 PEG
pie are living in Alaska now, com.
pared with 72,524 listed by the
1910 census.
The smallest state at present,
Nevada, had a population of no.
247 in 1910. When 1t was admit
ted to the Union in 1864. How
ever. its population was only $4,000.
The last state to win admission
was Arizona on Feb. a, 1912.
Alaskans in the past have feared
that too small an electorate could
not support a state government,
but this objection is said TO be
rapidly disappearing. Letters re
ceived by Dimond's office here
indicate that many OF the new.

Tapering Off of War Work
Becoming Major Controversy

Washington, Sept. ? APP -
Whether war contracts should be
ended abruptly or tapered off
gradually when peace comes has
developed into a major controversy
among postwar planners.
The issue was brought into the
open by DR.. Stanley F. Teele.
deputy director OF the War Produc-

vision, in a speech at Chicago
yesterday DR.. Teele pumped for
prompt termination of contracts,
quick cash" from the government
to reimburse contractors and aid
their reconversion, and the use u
federal funds to pay dismissal
wages to workers.
The WPB official gave this as a
personal hope, stressing that
opinion in Washington had not con-
gealed. Other officials here dis
closed that industry itself is divid-
ed on the question.
Those industries to which the
war has brought unparalleled ex-
pansion and to which peace would
bring a swift and probably last
ing deflation. advocate a gradual
shutdown on war production to
minimize immediate postwar dis
locations. Typical OF this group
are shipbuilders, mining operators
and machine tool makers.
In the other camp are those

farewell to war goods and

If the caterpiller is not willing to die, he will not become a beau tltul butterfly. If I am not willing to die to self, cannot expect to be- come a beautiful character for Christ. To take Up our cross daily and follow Him, is to die to self. Have you heard the tale of the

 Away in the sunny cline? By humble growth of a hundred
 years
 It reaches it's blooming time: And then a wondrous bud at it's
 crown
 Breaks into thousand flowers; Ihls floral queen, in its bloom

 Is the pride of the tropical

 As they drop in the blooming

 Grow lively and lovely a.

God love this sailor and have mercy on this engine It was making forty more turns than he had ever run 1t.
 Oil, Air Bubbles
 We got to the spot and I gave the signal to let go. Chow down Q yelled the cook. (This he had yelled whenever he let go a depth eharge) =. Bango went the depth charge. The Mack let go with two charges. There was now a large amount of air and oil bubbles over the surface. but we were not satisfied.
 Orders for another attack were given, and we left a buoy there to mark the spot. Just then another contact was made by the Mack. The sound was so loud. it sounded as though they were having engine or propellor trouble. It was not long before the periscope was again seen by the two ships, and the Foremost made a dash for it.
 We cracked the submarine hard. knocking our false keel about eight inches out of center. The impact was terrific. We felt as though we were running over a rock pile. The Foremost dropped two more depth charges and then the Mack came up behind us with two charges and did she finish him off! The sound man heard no more. Large gushing bubbles of oil and air came to the surface constantly from the spot and covered the area for miles. The buoy remained to mark the spot. where oil was still coming to the surface as we left the next morning.
 That morning We were again sent on another sub search 30 miles north of the area involved, but none was detected. We hated to give up if there was another one there. We definitely would like to get another. We wonder if the Japs are as anx- ious as we are to pay our respects.
 Well Done"
 At 2300 we received a dispatch. Well done from our district cap- tain, and orders were given to stand by for relief on the following day That was not hard to take. I passed the word to the crew. You can bet your bottom dollar we won't relax our vigil, for maybe the last big fellow We searched for today may hunt Us tonight"
