 AIR FIELD
No Figures Received on American Losses
 Will Be Heavy

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-Within four days after the initial attack on the Japs at Tarawa in the Gilberts, the Americans had the air field in use. This was disclosed at press conference with Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox.
 The figures on American losses were not received here, he said, but he repeated that ''the fighting was very bitter" implying as he did be- fore that heavy losses should be expected.
 When asked about the reason for the heavy losses, Knox called attep- tion to the reports on one assault, when waves of Marines ran into trouble when wind and sea condi- tions changed unexpectedly. They became hung on reef while ex- posed to heavy fire from the Jap anese on the shore.

RICE AND AHlER5 QUITS PLUMBING,
 HEATING SERVICE
Enters Retail Field : New Firm Is Organized by Clark and Feero

The Juneau Plumbing and Heat ing Company has taken over the plumbing, heating, oil burner and sheet metal work of Rice and Ahlers Co. and, in the future, all services performed by Rice and Ahlers Co. will be taken care of by the new company which is owned and operated by Jack R. Clark and B. E. Bill" Feero, for mer employees of Rice and Ahlers Co Both men are well known and competent and deserving of the support of the community in their new undertaking.
 J. R. Clark has been foreman on all large contracts for Rice and | Ahlers Co.,, including the BaranOf Hotel, 20th Century Theatre Build ing, Cooper Building and Hillcrest Apartments at Juneau: Sitka Hotel, Lutheran Church. Sitka High School and USO Building at Sitka Westward Hotel, Anchorage, and is capable of handling contracts of any size when new construction is again allowed.
 B. E. Feero, more commonly known as "Bill", has been install ling and servicing burners of all kinds in Juneau and vicinity for the past five years. Last May he start ed in business for himself under the name of Juneau Heating Ser vice but he soon outgrew his small quarters on Second between Frank lin and Seward and, to better take care of his customers, he has join- ed MT. Clark in a new company so that well rounded service of all plumbing, heating and sheet metal needs may be properly taken care of.
 Rice and Ahlers Go. will devote its time to the retail selling of plumbing and heating supplies, oil ranges, oil heaters, oil burners, etc. This change in operation was made necessary due to the fact that the business of Rice and Ahlers Co. grew to such proportions that it became impossible for it to take care of the retail business and give proper attention to necessary repair and service work
 John Ahlers says: T am happy to recommend Messrs. Clark and Feero and want to assure all my customers that I carried on the service work to the best of my ability during these trying times until I felt sure that this branch of the business could be turned over to reliable parties
 The Juneau Plumbing and Heat ing Go. will conduct its business in the shop formerly operated by Rice and Ahlers Go. and can be found in the same location on Franklin Street near Third. Rice and Ahlers Co., will conduct it's re- tail store at the corner of Third and Franklin as usual.

cabbage both are higher in vitamin c than
head lettuce.
Endive is often grown as a substitute
for lettuce and in a similar manner. II is
better to mature the crop during the cool
season of the year, preferably in the late

II is somewhat slower growing than
lettuce and must be started earlier, about

ETTUCE is the most common and most
l. popular vegetable in the home garden.
Usually the leaf lettuce varieties are
grown, but under certain conditions head
lettuce can be grown with fair success.
In most cases, especially small back
yard gardens, leaf lettuce will be the
selection. One important thing to remem-
Der is to keep leaf lettuce constantly
growing by succession cropping and use
of fertilizer so it will be tender and of good
quality.
Sow the seeds one-half inch deep in
rows Is inches apart. Do not seed too
thick, but allow the plants TO stand , to
3 inches apart in the rows Sow lettuce
seeds, perhaps TO 10 feet of a row, every
two weeks from as early as possible until
May Is TO June /. Then again seed leaf
lettuce about August to 10 for late fall
-crnp--
For those gardeners of larger areas
who would like 10 grow dozen heads Of
lettuce, here are a few simple rules:
First select a good variety either
Imperial A or Imperial SAT. Second,
direct seed az early as possible in hills with
10 seeds per hill. When the plants
come up about an inch high, thin TO only
one strong plant per hill per foot.
In other words, space the plants one
foot apart the row. You can repeat
this planting about July TO July Is. This
crop of head lettuce will then mature in
the cool fall weather of September. Tying

HEAVIEST BLOW

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-A
Senate in open rebellion against any
food subsidy program slapped down
an Administration compromise and
voted, SO to %, to block any rollback
in prices.
The Senate voted to send back to
the White House the same bill the
President vetoed last week and would
almost certainly veto again. This left
rollback and other consumer subsidy
plans suspended in midair.
The price revolt quickly spread to
the House, where Appropriations
Chairman Clarence Cannon tried to
force an immediate vote accepting the
Senate ban.
During a dramatic 10 minutes,
Speaker Rayburn left the rostrum and
tried unavailingly to persuade Cannon
to withdraw his motion. When Can
non demurred House Republicans
came to Rayburn's aid. The bill was
sent to conference by two-thirds

Postwar Job Rights
Of Seamen Protected

Washington, D. C. Re-employ-
ment rights of merchant seamen who
leave civilian employment to serve in
the American Merchant Marine are
now protected by law On June % the
President signed the law assuring
economic protection after the war for
men who volunteered to serve the ma
tion in war time in the Merchant
Marine.
The new law provides that merch-
ant seamen leaving civilian positions
do SO on furlough basis and are en-
titled to unemployment without loss
of seniority 1t also provides that they
participate in insurance and other
benefits offered by the original en-
ployer. The new statute specifies that
seamen cannot be discharged without
reasonable cause in less than year
after restoration to their original
jobs. Each seaman serving in the
Merchant Marine after May 1, 1910,
who completes substantially continu-
Gus service during the war shall be
granted by the War Shipping Admin
istration certificate of service which
shall include record of any special
proficiency or merit obtained.

FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1943.
LABOR STAND SUPPORTED

That the abolition of experience
rating is essential to the sound opera
tion of unemployment insurance legis-
lation, particularly in the postwar
period, is the conclusion of expert
ence Rating versus Social Security,
pamphlet just published by the
American Association for Social Sc
curity. The publication follows g
decision made at recent special con-
ference, attended by officers of the
association and other interested ex-
perts, to conduct an energetic cam
paign against experience rating,
which is opposed by organized labor.
Arguing that experience rating
has not succeeded in stabilizing en-
ployment, the pamphlet demonstrates
that it effects no considerable saving
for the large employer, leaves the
small employer entirely out in the
cold and has deleterious effect upon
the working man.
"But the most serious aspect of ex-
perience rating is the instant danger
that it is undermining our system of
unemployment insurance altogether" !"
the pamphlet declares. The danger
that the fund, reduced through the op-
GRAFTON of experience rating, will
prove utterly inadequate to take care
of the large-scale unemployment that
may occur in the postwar era is
shown to be imminently serious. "His-
tory itself has now established that
experience rating is uneconomical,
unwise and unsocial"
The pamphlet urges that it is a
patriotic responsibility to strengthen
the reserves now by repeating the ex-
perience rating provisions. 1t calls
upon the Federal government to re-
move clause 1602b of the Social Sc
curity Act, and upon the legislators in
states which have enacted the provi-
sion, to repeal it. Other states are
warned to be wary of the pitfalls of
this scheme" The pamphlet is being
circulated to legislators, governors
and interested persons and organiza-
tions.

the Congress and legislatures may act
wisely is necessary to the successful
functioning of free democratic insti-
tutions, but of late years legislators
have been showing surprising
amount of irresponsibility and sheer
ignorance.
Not long ago in a New England
state, two hours before the legislature
adjourned, the legislators abolished
the civil service system. They took
this action in rank ignorance. Some
one brought in a blind bill for the
amendment of certain section of the
state code. Without looking up this
particular section, the legislators
voted and then adjourned, and the
states official family would have been
