members of a union"
Following Governor Bricker's
speech delivered last week at
Nashville, Tenn, Ted Silvey, Sec
rotary treasurer of the Ohio Indus
trial Union Council (CIO), charged
that Bricker still is living in the
Horatio Alger age.
Said the Governor: 1.-THE great
mass of laboring people want the
opportunity to save some money,
to start a small business and to
build it into a big business"
Rebutted Silvey: "The Governor
is expressing an ancient concept.
Working people want job tenure
and security with an assured an
nual income to provide a reason
able standard of living. Working
people do not want their trifling
savings In a small business that
has no chance to succeed in the
face of corporation power. Work.
ing people have learned that they
cannot climb to success on the
backs of other workers. The Gov
e1nor should know by now that
individual competitive enterprise
largely has given way to group
and cooperative enterprise. The
security of each worker is found
in the security of all workers
through their unions"
Note: William E. Evatt will con-
tinue as state tax commissioner,
thank to his good friend, Governor
Bricker. Our congratulations to
MI. Evatt and to every major cor
poration in the state. Congratula-
tons also to the Ohio Chamber of

Potato Club Spends Time In Harvest

Members of the Northern Light Potato Club spent a week recently harvesting their crop of fine quality tubers. Director of Exten- sion Lorin T. Oldroyd and Club Leader Mrs. B. J. Bingle super vised the activity.
 Digging equipment and truck to haul the crop into market were called into service from the University Experiment Station, as well as men to operate the equipment and handle the heavy bags of potatoes.
 Quality of the crop can be best judged, perhaps, when it is stated that the crop raised by these boys and girls graded bet ter than 90eo No. Is. "This is in- deed a high percentage of first grade commercial potatoes, and the members are to- be congratu- lated" comments Mir. Oldroyd.

A LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

All AaSkans should be interested in the subject of Statehood. What would it mean to us? In what ways would Statehood change mode of thinking or our way of living? What would Statehood cost the people of Alaska? Are we ready for it and do want it at this time? Residents of the Second Division are more concerned with mining than any other industry We recall groups who during the early days shipped in gold dredge stalled it in some creek, and commenced prospecting The lie of such enterprise was short Came others who secured piece of property ascerained the values in the ground, and when sufficient secured the proper equipment and operated successfully We appreciate that there is gold in Statehood and duty is to prospect the question thoroughly to ascer tain:
 How much overburden there is to work off. How deep to the pay.
 How much pay.
 Cost to tf1e citizen to secure the pay. Under the heading of pay" might be included all of the advantages of Statehood that could accrue to The "overburden" would be those expenses Aaskans would under Statehood which hereto fore have been considered have been borne by the Federal Government

Biancavilla is only two miles from

Adrano, on the road skirting Mount

Allied planes shattered the last
Axis escape port of Messina with
$50 tons of bombs in an unprece-
dented raid, and smashed commu-
nications in growing aerial Often
slve such as blasted the way to

1t was a five-day battle of the
most savage fighting the Americans
nave encountered, and it took three
days of concentrated fire power to
destroy the enemy defenses on the
high positions.
premature field reports on
Tuesday had said Troina was
taken)
Other Objectives.
Possible objectives now ahead of
he Americans besides Randazzo are
Bronte, II miles east of Troina;
Cesaro, 8 miles northeast. Troina's
inhabitants we're bitter against the
Germans.
There were no reports of the
progress of American troops on the
north coast, or British forces push
ing up the east coast.
About 100 Italian soldiers and
sailors were captured at Ustica, and
ZIG Italian civilian prisoners were
found on the island used as a
Fascist penal settlement. The Ger
mans had abandoned the isle, two
miles long and mile wide, on
July II, and many civilians were
destitute and lacking water.
Besides pounding the Eastern
Sicilian coastal road near Taor-
nina, British warships patrolled the
eastern waters and minesweepers
began clearing the channel into
Catania. American destroyers and
patrol torpedo boats ranged the
waters about Northeastern Sicily
seeking to break up evacuation at
tempts by sea.
The air war rose to new heights
with the assault on Messina, the
fifth raid this month on battered
Naples, and hundreds of sorties by
bombers and fighters to collapse
Axis resistance. Aerial bombing
brought the fall of Biancavilla, and
other towns were being similarly
/ softened up. There was closest CO.
operation between air and ground
| forces.
Allied flyers made nearly $50
bombing sorties over the area Just
west of Mount Etna.
The crusher blow on Messina was
dealt by Flying Fortresses, Yelling
tons, Marauders and Mitchells, with
bombs rained on docks, shipping and
road functions in the narrow area
about the strait. Adrano, Bronte
and Randazzo in the Mount Etna
area were heavily blasted.
Canadian Wellingtons raided
Naples to prevent help from there
to the Sicilian garrison, and one
pilot said there were so many flres
in Naples last night that he first

and couldn't tell the difference
until we got over the target area"
Blockbusters added anew to the
fearful wreckage in the port.
The many hundreds of missions
flown yesterday cost eight Allied
planes.
The concentration of antiaircraft
guns at Messina was being thinned
out by the hail of bombs. Scores Of
small boats used to pull some Axis
troops out of Sicily have been de-
stroyed.
The Fortresses hammered road
functions, Marauders escorted by
Lightnings hit roads at nearby Bad
jassa, and Mitchells pounded the
arteries in the village of Gesso
Seven barges and a merchant ves-
sci were hit in Messina Straits, and
80 landing craft were bombed on
the beaches.
Forty eight trucks were wrecked
near Randazzo, and American
planes blasted % more on the west
coast road near Rosamo on the
toe of Italy. Heavy bombers from
the Middle East joined in, razing
the railway sidings and ferry ter
