TRAVELLING IS NO
FUN, SAYS ALLEN,
AFTER TRIP SOUTH

Travelling is no fun nowadays
according to Tom Allen, manager
of PIGGY Wiggly Company, who re-
turned to Juneau on the Princess
Louise yesterday. after a five weeks
business trip south.
In fact going places by train or
bus is so difficult that Mr.. Allen
didn't even get to his date ranch
between Indio and Palm Springs
in California. He spent two weeks
in Sacramento at the home of his
brother-in-law and sister, DR.. and
Mrs. John Turner and with his
mother and another sister, Mrs
Mary Cox, who have moved to Sac
ramento.
Only satisfaction of the trip, Mr.
Allen said. was that he was able tc
secure merchandise for Piggly- Wig
gly-and his happiness at returning
to Juneau when the trip was over
Though travelling is discouraged
trains and buses and boats are
crowded, Mr.. Allen, mostly ne
doubt with defense workers, anc
trips unless essential are to bt
avoided.

BACK FROM TRIP
ON SPRUCE JOB

Regional Forester B. Frank
Heintzleman, returned to Juneau
from Ketchikan by plane late yes
terday afternoon after two-month
absence during which time he went
to Seattle, Ketchikan, and Edna

Log Project.
Heintzleman's trip was concerned
with details of the project in which
Alaska spruce is being sent to Sc
attic where the logs are sold by the
Alaska Spruce Log Project to one
of three or four mills which have
been designated by the Government
as specializing in the production of
spruce lumber for airplane manu-
facture.
Nine large logging contractors
now are operating full blast in
Southeast Alaska, taking out the
airplane stock and incidentally sup
plying logs to local Alaska sawmills.

FOOD RATI0NING
IS NOT GOING TO
BE IN N0RTHLAND
BY ANTHONY ]. DIMOND
Delegate From Alaska

WASHINGTON, April 3-(Spec-
ial Correspondence Quoted be-
low is a copy of self-explanatory
letter dated March % addressed
to me by Price Administrator, Hon.
Prentiss M. Brown, relative to a
letter l wrote him regarding the
application of food rationing to Al
aska
This is in reply to your letter
of March IL regarding the applica-
ton of food rationing to Alaska.
1--WE are indeed happy to have
your counsel and guidance in this
regard. The views which you ex-
press do not depart in any material
way from those which have con-
istently been held here. Right along
from the beginning we have recog-
nized the administrative difficulties
of establishing system of ra-
tioning which could be expected to
accomplish any measurable food
conservation under Alaskan con-
ditions and which, at the same time,
would not work an unnecessary
hardship upon people who, as you
say, cannot buy groceries from day
to day, week to week, or even
month to month. For these reasons,
we feel fully Justified in the posi-
ton which we now hold with re-
spect to food rationing in Alaska
and which has previously been ex-
pressed in a joint Press Release by
the Regional Administrator for
Region TX. and cur Territorial Di-
rector for Alaska. We would be in
clined to state the same position
more firmly today than we did at
that time.
ION the other hand. the author
ity vested in the Office of Price Adj
ministration with respect to ra-
tioning carries with it the moral
obligation to take any necessary
precautionary measures for any
crisis or emergency which might
arise and which could be mitigated
in whole or in part by resort to
rationing Conscious of our moral
obligation and responsibility to the
Congress and to the people of Alas
ka in this regard, we are giving
consideration to such precautionary
measures. At no time, however, have
we had in mind definite rationing
plan for Alaska, nor have we ever
seriously contemplated adopting in
Alaska the complex rationing pat
terms now effective in the States.
We are definitely of the opinion
that the Alaskan food problem is
mainly problem of supply.
Il am therefore glad to be able
to assure you that the Office of
Price Administration has no in
tention whatsoever of introducing
in Alaska the food rationing pro-
grams now in effect in the rest of
the United States nor would any
rationing programs be adopted for
the Territory without thorough ex-
animation of Alaska's special needs
and problems. You are at full lib
erty to use this statement in writ
ing to your constituents or in any
public statement you may choose to
make.
Through our Director in Alaska.
we are in constant touch with Gov
ernor Gruening with reference to
all phases OF the Office of Price
Administration program in Alaska.
We are only too happy to have
your advice and counsel at all times.
We wish to take this opportunity
to assure you that before any posi-
tive measures in the direction of
rationing in Alaska are taken, we

Detroit evening times., 1943-01-10

THE exigencies OF war have
- brought TO an end the tradi-
tion of presenting famous Euro
pean artists at the Metropolitan
Opera House-a tradition gener-
ally in practice since 1888. Until
this war is over we will not look
10 Europe to provide singers for
the opera houses Of America.
The Metropolitan is undergoing
a transition from foreign sue
ceSses TO the discovery and de-
velopment of American talent,
The opera-going public seems TO
have sensed this.
Recently a Metropolitan Opera
audience was part of a drama
that unfolded on the well-worn
stage Of the Thirty-ninth street
house. They were watching and
hearing young American So
prano make her operate debut
under circumstances that have
had few parallels in its long his
tory.
With Lily Pons i'll. and with
"Lakme" scheduled for the eve
ming of December ., Miss Marie
wilkins of Lawrence. Kan. was
called upon 10 step into the role
at "a hours notice

fore by many sopranos al short

of this occasion was the fact

Taxi Drivers Dream

The English have been here
quite a long time and obviously
intend 10 stay. There is no use
trying 10 change their customs
OF speech or manner. The thing
10 do is TO acknowledge this and
proceed at your own risk.
This town is a taxi drivers
dream. There are not enough OF
them and it has given them a
special brand of superiority. OF
course it is not legal 10 refuse
a fare unless the cab Is down 10
no petrol, but of course the men,
at-the-wheel do as they choose.
At night they reach new
heights of indifference. TIL e
other night jumped into a cab
and was ordered out by the
driver who said: I'm this
country it's the custom 10 ask
the driver il he wants TO take
you" Cute kid
And on another occasion when
a number of us were riding
home from a party and happily
singing away, the driver banged
