MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRES
ALASKA OPA 0VERLO0Ks ONE SIGNIFICANT FACT

Way back on April !, 1942, Maj or General Simon B. Buckner, Jr., Commanding General of the Alaska Defense Command, issued what was called Public Proclamation No 1 in which he declared the entire Terri tory of Alaska designated and estab- Hshed as a Military Area In other words, Alaska is and mas been since that date a war zone of military operations, just as much in a mili- tary sense as is Guadaleanal, North Africa and a dozen other places on the globe.
 Unfortunately, it appears, there are still some who fail to realize that this is a war zone, a military zone of operations in which the Army has supreme command over every individual, and may restrict any one from the area. It can, in cooperation with the Navy, say what can and what cannot be trans ported to Alaska. It's responsibility is as great for the civilian popuIa- ton as for the military. This is not martial law, but military law by proclamation, and, it might be add

 One of the organizations which apparently has failed to realize it is

 expensive people to admfnistrate
 Rather, 1t is that OPA is attempt ing to regulate prices on eommod- ities which can only come to the Territory if the Army and Navy see fit. For example. your local merchant can order supplies from his wholesaler in Seattle and that worthy can fin the order and lis patch it to the dock. The transport ation of it from that point to Alas ka Is dependent entirely. as f should be. on the demands of the Army and Navy.

But. says the 0PA, regardless of all this. you sell for certain price and we'll tell you what it will be True, the OPA is attempting to compute freight costs, general cost of doing business in the Territory and so on. We be lieve, honestly and sincerely. It is attempting to set a fair price. no doubt. The big point we think it has overlooked is getting little information from the Army and Navy. which controls the entire Al aska area. on food stuffs to the Territory. and enlightening the average merchant and average con sumer to that end.
 We still are of the considered opinion that one person in General Buekners office in Anchorage. an other in the Governors office in Juneau and one at the port of em- barkation in Seattle could do all the food rationing and price con- trolling Alaska, as war zone con- taining so few people aside from the military, would ever need so long as We do remain a war zone.

However that is only an opinion and doubtless many will consider it 3 poor one. 70

 I'd call the sergeant and tell him to get some men and put up the pole" was the reply.
 Obviously, most town councils iu Alaska had heard the story and were pretty good soldiers.

 Elsewhere in this valuable paper you will read about dimouts. Tip: Just remember the sergeant and the pole. Don't ask Us where you are going to get something to cover your windows. Ask your local mes- chants and they'll probably ask the 0PA. II would be worth recording for posterity if OPA should happen to ask General Buckner.

 One of the big stories of this war cracked the front pages and the radios this week when announce ment came of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill con- ferring for 10 days in Casablanea, North Afirca. Aside from the state ment of policy, which could have been issued from either Washington or London, one of its significant angles was that Allied fliers are in control of some mighty important air routes when two such inter national figures can be flown such long distances to a war zone for a conference without any trouble from Goering's Luftwaffe. It could we'll mean the beginning of the end for the Axis.

FOOD CONFERENCE
 MAY BE DELAYED
Schedules May Make It Impossible to Conclude
 Session June }
By H. o. THOMPSON United Press Staff CorreSpOndent)

Hot Springs, Va, May 28-(UP)- A new idea for feeding man so that his physique, health and efficiency in future years will far surpass present averages was emerging to- day from the United Nations food conference.
 It also was becoming apparent that the ambitious work schedules laid down for the delegates may make it impossible to conclude the conference by the scheduled date of June 3,
 The work on nutrition already has covered a wide field and has resulted in the setting of standards which seem high by comparison with present-day practicts. It is con- ceded by delegates that it will be a long time before the ideals fixed at this conference can be translated into actualities-as British Foreign Undersecretary Richard K. Law put it in a radio speech last night: Here at Hot Springs we're doing no more than turning the first sod, preparing the site for a building that our children and their children may live in
 Reports from delegates continued to emphasize the cooperative spirit being demonstrated here among the representatives of A united and as Sociated nations.
 FL. McDougall, economic adviser to the Australian high commissioner in London and member of the Australian delegation, said he had attended every League of Nations meting for eight years and never before had seen such will to work together as was being shown here. Canada yesterday indicated a will ingness to scrap it's British Empire tariff preference if it could be made part of world movement to re- move barriers of international trade.
 Judge Marvin Jones, president ot the conference, paid tribute to the spirit of Allied cooperation being shown here by the Soviet delegation

OPA TO ACT IF

Increased Revenues Will Be Considered; Savings

Hartford. Conn, May 28-(UP)- Speedy action will be taken by the Office of Price Administration Eff conclusive evidence is found that dairymen need increased revenue to maintain production" State OPA Director Chester BoWles said today.
 BoWles said that facts gathered at the tWO-day milk hearing held this week by State Milk Administra- tor Donald O. Hammerberg, and at tended by OPA economists, "as well as other material related to the milk problem, are now being studied by our price division.
 "The energies of the milk admin iStration and the OPA always have been directed toward insuring Con- necticut citizens of all the milk they need to keep healthy and to keep on the job.
