fight to the enemy in keeping with
American naval traditions.
He sought the enemy deep in
his own waters and well within

Japanese despite their superior
number of guns and greater speed.
When he was through, the Jap

The victory was won through
good seamanship and good shoot
ing This action changed the his
tory on this front
The Jap at present is intent
upon getting supplies to Kiska and
Attu, determined to the extent that
he brought up what he believed to
be an overwhelming force. They

deserves a well done.
The commander of the American
task force in q press conference

Navy proposed a medal for our
ships consisting OF rabbits feet,
surrounded by horseshoes and sur
mounted by four-leaf cloyers."
He added seriously, There were
times when l didn't think I would
bring back my ships out Of the

WELFARE BOARD
SETS POLICIES
DURING SESSION
Old Age, Civilian War AS
sistan(e, New Juvenile
Code Decisions Made

With several new fields coming
within the scope of the Alaska De-
partment of Public Welfare, the Ter
ritorial Board of Public Welfare had
some knotty problems to handle
during the past weeks of its session.
Problems of old age assistance,
civilian war assistance programs,
regulations and forms for the newly
adopted Juvenile Code, the new
manual for medical care, and the
administration of department pro-
grams, all came up for study and
decisions.
The Territorial Board of Public
Welfare which met in Juneau March
30, concluded its session April 20
and all members are preparing to
return to their homes on the first
available transportation.
Members of the board included
Governor Ernest Gruening, Chair
man, John H. Walmer of Juneau,
Howard Lying of Nome, Mrs H. H.
McCutcheon of Anchorage, and j..
r. Rivers of Fairbanks. The mem
bers from Nome, Anchorage and
Fairbanks expect to leave Juneau
the latter part of the week for their
homes.
At the suggestion of the Bureau
of Public Assistance OF the Social
Security Board, the Board of Pub
lie Welfare revised its regulations
concerning residence and removal
from the Territory, and its appeal
and fair hearing procedure, in order
to comply with the Federal require
ments. Under the new regulation
on removal from the Territory OF
recipients of Old Age Assistance
they may continue to receive their
grants until such time as they are
eligible to receive Old Age Assist
ance under any other State plan,
providing that when they left the
Territory it was not for the purpose
of giving up their residence. Such
was the Interpretation placed on the
new. regulation by Director Russell
G. Maynard.
Relative to the new regulation
governing appeals and fair hearings,
said Director Maynard, it was a
procedure set up for the purpose
of hearing any appeals from de-
cisions of the Director affecting eli
gibility of recipients or applicants OF
Old Age Assistance.
1t was also announced by the
board, that consideration of var
ious matters concerning public well
fare and assistance in the Territory
was given to various subjects re-
sulting from the effects of the war.

Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
major Robert s. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON. - Although food
was supposed to be the chief topic
of discussion at the recent White
House conference with farm lead
ers, actually Foodczar Chester Da-
Wis did his best to sell the Presi-
dent on pay-as-you-go taxation. He
proposed it as an authorization
measure to drain off surplus in
come and ease the work of income
tax payment on the average citi-
zen.
1--WE have simply got to come
to it, Mr.. President" argued the
food chief. 1T was unfortunate
that pay-as-you-go taxes were given
a black eye by the Ruml plan. But
pay-as-you-go taxes should go hand
in hand with rationing to prevent
overspending.
The President didn't commit
himself definitely, but indicated
that he would favor a pay-go plan
if windfalls to the wealthy, as pro-
vided for in the Ruml plan, were
completely eliminated.
Ed O'Neal, President of the Farm
Bureau Federation and Ezra t.
Benson, Executive Secretary OF the
National Council of Farmer Coop
eratives also took up the cudgels,
O'Neal contending that taxpayers
wouldn't be able to meet next years
assessments unless the pay-aS-you-
go plan or forced saving were
adopted

Severe Spankings Are
Given Two Freshmen
Members Of congress
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, April 81. - The
House OF Representatives has just
administered public spanking to
two of its freshmen members.
Although the oldsters wouldn't
admit it openly, the reason for the
spankings is quite simply that the
two youngsters violated one OF the
oldest traditions OF Congress-that
freshmen should be seen and mo-
heard and the less seen the better
The two recipients of legislative
ehastisement were Representatives
Clare Boothe Luce Of Connecticut

CLEVELAND, June 25.-President
William Harridge of the American
Baseball League declared today that
unless there is sharp tightening
of the manpower situation" team
owners plan to operate next year.
He also predicted that "the league
as a whole would enjoy profitable
1943 season.
Harridge's remarks were made in
a telephone interview with the
Cleveland Plain Dealer and followed
prediction by Babe Ruth that
major league baseball would become
war casualty next year-if not
sooner.
Speaking only for the American
League, we certainly will finish this
season and the league as a whole
will finish in the black" Harridge
asserted. There may be two or three
clubs that will lose money. Perhaps
there will be only one, and perhaps
none"
Ruth, here as a guest at a news
paper carrier-boy party sponsored
by the International Circulation
Managers Association. said yester-
day he had "a hunch baseball won't
survive the current season." and
its a cinch they won't open the
