Jeffriies
BY HAROLD sCHACHERN

Breaking a precedent of %
years. the Detroit Municipal En-
ployes' Association endorse
Mayor JeffrieS for reelection in a
radio address last night over
WXYZ by Edward w. Frey, preSi-
dent of the association.
Frey agreed to pinch-hit for the
mayor in the radio address be-
cause JeffrieS was attending a
war conference at Fl. Knox, Ky
During the past few days"
Frey said. "the officers of the
Detroit Municipal Employees
Association have made an i'm
portant decision. After - years
of strict neutrality in political
matters. these officials-fOllOw-
ing much thought and careful
deliberatiOn - unanimously de-
cided that we have reached a
point i'm our career where we
can no longer take passive
interest i'm much matters.
I'VE do not propose To have
our achievements sabOtaged.
What are the reasons which
caused the advisory council of
cur organization to break this
precedent?
First of all. we wish 10 re-
tain a civil service system which
cannot be controlled by any
selfish group who would use il
10 their own interests.
secondly, we wish Ia develop
and protect our pension system
10 the end that men and women
who have served the city con
ScientiOusly and we'll may reap
their just reward when infirm-
ity or old age makes retirement
necessary.
I'VE be ieve that strikes
within government are totally
unnecessary because the city
charter adequately proyid es
means of redress of grievances.
ION all of these questions. we
find Mayor Jeffries has been
fair"

Japan Is Worrying
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer)
Japan, through announcements by military
spokesman to the japanese people, formally recog-
nzed the dangers of attack from the north-attacks
routed from the United States and Canada through
Alaska and China Already plans are in progress
for direct telephone communication between tn S
country and China; in addition air bases are
being built on the Chinese mainland; these were
among the warnings issued by the enemy military
press chief
1t is apparent then, that American activity in
the northern territory including the construction of
the new Alcan Highway, OF considerable worry to
the Nipponese TOTO knows full well the offensive,
we'll the defensive, possibilities of northern
bases, some OF which are only little more than
2,2oo air miles from the capital city OF Tokyo.
He see too, the possibility of Russian and
American cooperation for new land route directly
into China from Shorthand Alaska-to the north
and east Such land route, like proposed aerial
routes, would reduce supply lines into China from
possible $4,000 to something under 1000 miles.
japanese military leaders do not share the skep-
ticism OF certain OF our own people who wonder
ing how Alaska be base for any mass attack on
points thousands of miles away The distance these
skeptics say is too long for efficient attacks against
supply route to air bases within easy striking distance
of Tokyo.
1t should be remembered in this country-just as
Nippon is rememberng-that IL short months ago
plans for bringing the wilderness gap between Daw-
son Greek, British Columbia, and Fairbanks Alaska
still were undecided that short months after
construction, trucks moving along 500 miles of
new highway.
When he figures how close TO his own mainland
another 1000 miles, westward from Fairbanks would
put American Army forces the Jap plucks his chin.

soon as possible on legislation which would enable
the government of Puerto Rico by Governor elect

And at the same time, said the President, it has
long been the policy of the United States govern

self government of its Possessions and Territories
The Empire has argued for years that this should
be the policy of the Federal government. We are

it took 80 years.

paying out about $4,000 a day to
help meet the cost of moving oil
to the east coast. This is in adj
dition to the Governments invest
fnent in pipe lines.
The payment is made to meet
the difference between the cost Of
shipping oil by tanker and h e
cost OF shipping it by tank car. In
short, it is a subsidy to meet the
higher cost of rail transportation.
When the submarines drove us
to overland oil shipment, officials
figured that the difference in cost
would be about IS cents a barrel
Should this be added to the cost
Of the gasoline and oil, and be
paid by the consumer?
OPA said mo, it's a war cost and
should not be borne by eastern con-
sumers. Furthermore, it will in
crease the spiral of initiation.
So the Government absorbs the
difference
What actually happens is that
Jesse Jones, through his Defense
Supplies Corporation, pays an av-
erage of 95 cents a barrel on al
oil shipped from the Gulf area
TO the east coast. And since the
oaily movement by tank car is
tbout 100000 barrels, the bill run.
