Drama of Production
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 One of the most dramatic stories to come out of the war tells how American industry put into mass production and shipped, newly designed sights for the United States Armys super gun, the clumsy looking effective-operating "bazooka In less than I2O days machines for these parts set into op- eration and the sights rushed to the battle fields How many Allied lives thus were saved, and how much the Allied cause advanced can only be estimated.
 Representatives for two prime contractors were called by the Army and were told the importance of the new sights which had been designed on the fields of North Africa by American soldier These contractors went at into the field to seek plants where parts for the sights could be made-there were 16 of these parts They found small plants, one of them on chicken farm, talked to the owners and sped them into production. They even drew on high school principal and 26 of his teachers to aid with the vital job In IA days the sights were built and shipped; in 20 days they were blasting Axis tanks on the Tunsian battefieds
 This story carries all the hghlights of romance and drama The men and women who helped, could see the importance of the job they were doing they could see the need for speed and care Unfortu- nately these elements are not so apparent in the average work of the average worker the civilian production line Could that be true, all our prob lems of output including strikes and absenteeism would be solved forthwith.

A Timely Step

A llHcIy Otcp
 Whether Alaska is ready for statehood is ques- tion that will have to be determined of these days, presumably in the light of postwar conditions It is our judgment that the importance of the Ter ritory the world map of the future will be such that statehood will not be long delayed.
 Meanwhile, Alaska is patently ready for one i'm mediate reform in its status.
 Aaskans should have the right to elect their ter ritorial governor proposed in a bill introduced by their Delegate in Congress, Anthony Dimond fol lowing a unanimous vote by members of the recent territorial legislature in favor of such action.
 As well pointed out in the Daily Alaska Empire of Juneau the bill represents the principle of extending democracy among our own citizens that is represented in Puerto Rico President Roosevelt has Specifically recommended that the organic law of that territory amended by Congress to permit Puerto Ricans to elect their governor.
 Certainly if the Puerto Ricans ready for this extension of self government Alaskans are more than capable of determining for themselves who should serve as their chief executive officer To per init them to make this determination would be vel come and timely step the path toward full state hood.

Knox's day begins with 9:30 meeting with Admiral King and other Admirals, discussing war de- velopments of the previous 24 hours. Admiral Train, Chief of Naval Intelligence, gives them the latest news. For a conference with Secretary of War Stimson, Knox generally goes to Stimsons office across the river, since Stim- son outrankS him. But if sev- eral Admirals are to be involved in the conference, Knox telephones to Stimson and says, Harry, can you come over to see us?" :. Knox goes to church every Sunday = when his wife is in town. One of his best friends in Washington is John Sullivan, Assistant Secre- tary of Treasury. Both men come from the same home town-Man- chester, NH. Though a Re- publican in a Democratic cabinet Knox is credited with playing nc politics.

Churchill seemed to roresee both of these developments when he said in a paper on Air Power, written in 1917, that nothing we know about warfare can lead us to be- lieve that bombing for terror alone can cause such morale collapse as to force a major nation to sue for peace.
 Churchill emphasized that air power must single out and attack transportation, factories, and other enemy installations, upon which the enemy making ability de- bends.
 England's survival of the blitz gives dramatic support to the first part of that statement, and AL lied air power is now proving the second part.

THANKS DESERVED

Due to small group of hard workers with the right community spirit, and also to members of the armed forces who enjoyed the chance to repay Ju- neau's hospitality, Juneauites had one of the best times ever the last Independence Day weekend.
 Members of the American Legion, the Moose, Elks, Rotary Club the U. s. Army and U. S Coast Guard, along with the business men who put up the money for the entertainment deserve the thanks of the community for their efforts.
 Making the arrangements, and carrying them cut for such occasion is thankless job the surface, but we're that all of the people of Ju- neau appreciated the holiday festivities.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
THURSDAY, JULY 8

This is an uncertain day in plan etary direction. There is a morn ing aspect promising to persons in authority but in later hours ad- verse influences are active.
 HEART AND HOME: Midsum- mer heat is to make popular in- ventions to tighten domestic labor This summer will bring to the householder limited supplies of kitchen gadgets which are to be- come common in the future. Inas- much as the American servant problem has been solved by the elimination of domestics, machin- cry is to prove satisfactory in as- suring comfort and luxury in home life. Housekeepers who have worked in war industries will apply sys- tenn and technical knowledge to the domestic routine so successfully that numerous oldtime irritations and difficulties will be forgotten.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Imitation may be ignored but it will make headway, despite Government ef- forts to prevent it. With pockets full of money, wage earners will enjoy the thrill of spending their dollars. The standard of living will rise as provision for proper housing is made in all industrial cities and towns. Merchants who survive war time expenses will profit hand somely. Vacation plans will be made with little regard to trans portation difficulties. Hikers will be numerous; so will fishermen.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Political scaffolding for next years nation al campaign will be built this sum- mer at many conventions and con- ferences devoted to science, educa tion and other special interests. Partisan methods will be indirect but effective. Labor unions will be active in preparing for an election which will be of special importance to workers Again the seers declare that there is not likely to be a change in the highest office in the nation until after victory has been won. sf.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS As the United Nations demonstrate that their part in the Second World War has been slow but sure, the Axis is to resort to desperate meas lures which will arouse the su- preme might of the Allies. Thi S month and next will continue to be decisive in many hard-fought contests The progress toward vic- tory for the Allies will demonstrate what careful and deliberate plan ming can accomplish. Broad vision, extensive knowledge and splendid training are to be every day dem- onstrated in United Nations leader ship.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of suc- cess which wins the right rewards Health should be safeguarded.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be lucky and successful Many talents should belong to them.
