obtained a commission as lieu

lions section. Now Senator Wheeler
has got Lieut.. Cooper assigned back
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee.
Wheeler went right to the top
to swing this little deal. He urged
Navy Secretary Knox to permit
Cooper to return to his old job un-
til the telegraph merger bill passed
Congress. Wheeler explained that
Cooper's services were sorely need
ed because he had given great
deal of time and study to tn e
legislation.
Knox referred the request to
Navy personnel officials, with the
result that Lieut. Cooper was given
an indefinite leave to assist Wheel
er as long as needed. He has been
occupying an office close to Wheel
er's in the Senate Office Building
since February /.
Just what his duties are remains
mystery. All studies relative to
the merger bill were completed last
year, and the bill was sent to the

WILL HELP WIN THE WAR

AS the war continues and the pinch becomes
more severe the value of bill passed without oppo
stion by both Houses of the Alaska Legislature and
now law will be known.
1t became evident last year with the absence of
rationing regulations in Alaska that the way
paved for what might well become black market
of astounding proportions in which unpatriotic Alas
kans could buy products in Alaska that rationed
in the States and peddle the goods in the South.
Just before Christmas, many Alaskans took adj
vantage Of the situation to send gifts to friends
and relatives the States such choice rationed items
as coffee sugar buttereven nylon hose and girdles
That the amount Of goods thus shipped out then
could have upset the balance in the States was i'm
probable But there was danger.
Secretary of Alaska E. l.. Bartlett was one of
the first to see the threat in the practice, and we
remember that the only solution probable at that
time was to attempt to halt the practice by pleas.
There was no law against the shipping out of
the goods And the OPA regulations were not ca
pable of hating the shipments True enough, reci-
pients in the States should have declared all such
shipments received But it difficult to enforce
this regulation Even now the OPA has no right to
search pantry According to the Fourth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, still secure
in our persons houses, papers and effects against
unreasonable searches and seizures" Search war
rants could only be resorted to in extreme cases.

TIP GIVEN ON HOW
10 MAKE ELECTRIC
RANGE LAST LONGER
BY GLADYS DEGNER
A.P. Features Writer

Our fighting men are getting
the materials That go into electric
ranges, too. So, while they're tax
ing care" of our. enemies, the least
you can do is take care of your
range. You can keep it cooking fol-
a long time to come by following a
few common sense rules.
First of all don't pretend to be
a repair man. When the units start
baking, call the man who knows
how to fix them He can then check
on whether your stove is level, see
that the vent is clean and make
sure the wiring is in tip-top shape.
Be fair to each surface unit.
They'll all last longer if you ro-
tate using them. It's just habit to
heat one 80 percent Of the time
usually the left-front unit.
Sparkling cleanliness will pro-
long the life of your range. Don't
wait until Saturday; wash the ena-
.-~S- "AsaA oOoPy WdeCI OIlce Gay,
and dry it. Spilled acids-fruit
juices, vinegar and milk-duil
enamel unless you wipe them up inn
mediately. After using the oven,
wipe it out, too. A mild abrasive
may be used on the pan beneath
closed units, in the oven, for the
broiler pan, and on chrome bands
around the units.
Food spilled on open surface units
should be burned off. A stiff brush
or sharp instrument may damage
the heating coils. Salt, soda. sugar
and soap are especially injurious to
the coils.
Want to save electricity, too?
Then use pots and pans that fit
the surface units. A little pot. on
a big unit is wasteful So is using
high heat when low heat will do.

The fact that the bill passed both Houses with

lawmakers

which is rationed elsewhere in the States.
Excepted. of course, such items that are
manufactured produced or canned inside of the

Evidence capable of action would be the
following:
Possession of food or stores in excess of ordi-
nary requirements aboard any vessel aircraft or
vehicle leaving the Territory.
The sale of and purchase possession of any
such commodity by any person about to leave the
Territory except for immediate consumption
The law also gives the Alaskan producers, deal

to violate the act

FARM" BLOC
MAPS STRATEGY
FOR CONGRESS

An about fight to upset the govern
ment's price control program will be
the farm" bloc's contribution to the
new session of congress which begins
January 9Th. The target selected by
the farm" bloc is the President
executive order that fixes a net lin
itation of $4,000 on salaries and con
tinues the present formula for com
putting parity.
The farm bloc had already sue
ceeded in getting the house to pass
the Pace bill at the last session OF
congress, but it decided to postpone
action in the senate in order that
Senator McCarran might continue his
one-man filibuster undisturbed The
Pace bill requires that additional
weight be given to labor costs in fig
uring parity and would therefore have
the effect of lifting the lid not only
on farm prices but also on the prices
OF all items processed in whole or in
part from farmstuffs.
In attacking the Presidents execu-
tive order, the farm" bloc at first
remained silent about the $4,000 sal
airy limitation and sought to maintain
that they were solely interested in
the re-definition of parity. However,
two leaders of the farm" bloc, Rep.
John Taber IN. W and Sen. Thomas
(Okla) have now come out publicly
in opposition to the $4,000 salary
limitation
Rep. Table, who is ranking republi-
can member of the house appropria-
tons committee, let the cat out of the
bag and confided to newspaper re-
porters that plot has been Matched
to nullify the executive order at the
next session of congress. The plan
calls for rider to the first important
bill that comes along-a rider which
will deny funds to the Treasury for
enforcing the executive order.
The farm" bloc expects to be even
stronger at the next session as re-
suit of the November elections, and
Rep. Taber boosted of his committee,

Grain marketbs fluctuated but little

during the holiday shortened week

Wheat futures tended higher, influ-
enced mostly by trade expectations
that flour ceilings would soon be
raised and that higher prices would

some Independent strength but the
closing prices on other grain futures
were mixed. With mill demand re-
stricted by the present narrow mar
gins, cash wheat was steady OF 1c
