NAVY: Today is Navy Day.
This year, and last, have been
the only years in which the
Navy Day celebration hasn't
been important. Its purpose has
been accomplished.
Years ago, the Navy League
and its friends started plugging
for strong navy, and chose the
Navy Day date by taking Teddy
RooSevelt's birthday. Their cam
paign certainly was justified by
Pearl Harbor.
We were watching some of
the recruits at the Navy Club.
One man who enlisted In the
Seabees had three children and
another had four. Chief George
Beauregard said father of
eight had volunteered the day
before.

there.

and group of women from Mt.

Among other things. they have
secured jobs for 600 wives of
navy men.

sion of the George Washington Bi- centennial celebration, February 22, 1883, and the words of the original eommander-in-chief, in creating the order were used: to persons in the United States Army who perform any singular meritorious act of ex- traordinary fidelity or essential ser vice"
 The misconception undoubtedly arises because the order specified that citations prior 10 Feb. 2, 1892, should be for members of the AEF who had received the meritorious service citation certificate, or who had been wounded in action under conditions which permitted them to wear the wound cheyron.
 Since the WACs are now members of the U. S. Army, there Is nothing in the order to prevent them get ting the citation.

WASHINGTON The blueprint for a separate air force has been drawn.
 I have this information from sources which there is no reason to to doubt. While these sources would not go into details, 1t is hinted that the blueprint might not lead i'm mediately (perhaps not even until after World War ID to a unified department of national defense with coequal chiefs of staff for the Army air force and sea forces, but that it would elevate the air force chief to equal status with the Army chief of staff and commander in chief of the United States fleet.
 The reasons given for the delay thus far in establishing a separate air forces are:
 CD That until comparatively re- cent months the United States air force didn't have the experience personnel, or even equipment to as- sume it's responsibilities as the third great independent cog in our war machine and that the powers that be wouldn't permit it's forma- tion until it could stand on it's feet.
 CD That the change wouldn't be made (and may not yet) until it's positive that it will in no way dis rupt the effectiveness with which the air forces have been operating. (9) That for psychological reasons and the morale of all services in- volved, it has been thought best not to make the change while civilian controversy rages over its potential faults and benefits. (And there have been very few lulls in this critical storm.)
 It has been said with some amuse- ment, in Army circles at least, that while these controversies have been blowing over the land, the Army actually has been inching closer to the separate air force idea until now, in effect, it already fits the blueprint.

The last humpy has made the can, or he's on his way there migh- ty fast. Fishing season in South east Alaska officially closed We'd nesday night after a three-day eX- tension in northern Clarence strait. Other districts previously had been closed. Pack figures, not yet com pleted. indicate that the run the last few days of the season meant the difference between an abnorm- ally bad year and one just about average. The Southeast is definite ly down from past years, but when the tally is in, it will average up to normal years. Bristol Bay came through with the biggest pack since 1928 for & total of 293,889 cases. Fishermen who have been watching it over the years will tell you that when Bristol Bay Is good Southeast Alaska is invariably bad, or mild normal.
 Canneries for the most part are in the clear; some with little to spare. Seiners, with a few excep' lions, shared average Of around $500. some more, some even less One boat crew was reported $2,0OO a share, but this was an exception.
 Meanwhile, up in Juneau, Gov Gruening has been bothered over procedure which resulted in salmon packed in Alaska, being shipped outside and some of it thence back for ultimate consumption in the Territory. For some time he has been trying to have something done about it. This week he issued the following statement:
