Some reports of the Truman In
terview stated this exchange was
in a bantering mood.
Walsh, however, declared in his
statement 'if there is any reform
ing to be done, I am going to work
to do this myself, but within the
ranks of my own party, which I
shall not quit. 30
He said he believed that the
United States should take the ini-
tiative in working to maintain
peace after the war but not at the
expense of constitutional guaran-
tees, now existing.

man mean by the word isolation.

Two Infantry Divisions

oath U. S. Army Corps, including
the 18th and 96th Infantry Divl-
sions, performed most gallant
w. its assignments in the Phil
inpine INVASION" Gen. Douglas
Macarthur said today in a mes
sage to Honolulu Army head
quarters.
MacArthur's praise for the corps
was in reply to a congratulatory
message sent him at the outset
of the invasion by 1t. Gen. Rob-
ert c. Richardson, commanding
general of the Army forces in the
Pacific area.
Richardson, as area comman-
der, directed the training OF the

Walsh No lsolationist
Like Churchill, Stain

BOSTON, Oct. 31.-LR-Sen. Da-
vid I. Walsh, D-Mass) said today
he resented being called an isola-
zionist if the term means being put
into a type with Prime Minister
Churchill and Marshal Stain.
"The two most outstanding iso-
lationists in the world today" he
added in a statement, ARE Chur-
chill and Stain, who are always
doing everything possible to pro-
tect, and in some cases expand
their imperialistic powers"
The senior bay state senator,
who on Sunday endorsed the state
and national ticket of his party
during a visit here said he stood
with those who believe in fullest
possible international cooperation
for peace consistent with our con-
stitution.
Walsh's remarks on isolation
were prompted by an assertion by
Truman in an interview yesterday
in Providence. There, asked by a
reporter, what the difference was
between the 'isolationist record OF
Senator Walsh and that of the eight
Republican senator's Truman had
urged Governor Dewey to "repudl-
ate" Truman had replied INC diff
ference except that Walsh has
two years to serve and we have a
chance to reform him.

TAX RATE IN
JUNEAU WILL
REMAIN SAME

By unanimous vote the City
Council at meeting last week, re-
jected the proposal of the Executive
Committee of the Juneau Chamber
Of Commerce to increase the tax
rate of the City of Juneau az mills
to the full 20-mill limit. The rate,
therefore, remains at 1712 mills.
The assessed valuation receipts of
the city was raised by the Board of
Equalization to $267 sos.
There was decrease in the valua-
ton of automobiles and trucks and
a large increase in the number OF
people assessed personal property
tax. According to announcement
any person residing in the city and
whose personal property is worth
more than 5000, is subject to this
tax.
The Council reported that the
general business condition in Juneau
did not justify both a raise in valua-
ton and raise in rate at this time
and attempted to make taxes more
equitable by increasing many valua-
tions and the number of persons ON
the tax roll, some of whom had for
years neglected to declare their per-
sonal property.

DON'T Send
CANNED FISH
SOUTH NOW

Canned salmon has been restored
to point value in the States and
persons in Alaska who have a desire
to send some of the famed Alaska
products to friends and relatives
should remember that by SO doing
they may deprive the recipient of
enough meat points to serve them
month or more. That is accord
ing to announcement made today
by Mrs. Helene Johnson, Territorial
Rationing Executive of the Office
OF Price Administration.
During the summer months, Mrs.
johnson explained, canned salmon
was not removed from the list of
rationed commodities but was re-
duced to mo point" status. Effective
August Is it was restored to point
value. Persons receiving shipments
must report them and sufficient
meat points must be surrendered
to cover them.
so if you are planning to send
some succulent home-canne sal
mon to the folks outside, don't dc
it" Mrs. Johnson cautioned, lat
least not until you've learned they
are willing to surrender precious
meat points when it reaches them

JUNEAU STREETS ARE
pR05PE(T0R'S DREAM

Juneau streets are paved with
gold! Well, maybe not really paved,
but at least lightly sprinkled.
Ed Jahoda who is employed at
the George Brothers Market can
attest to that The other day as
he was working in front of the
store he noticed a small shining
object in the pavement. He man
aged to pry it out with the point
of his jackknife, only to discover
himself the possessor of a gold
nugget.
The logical explanation for this
unusual occurrence is that tailings
from the Alaska Juneau gold mine
were used in the construction of
the pavement. OF course, there
may be more of the precious stuff
mixed in with the concrete, but
the Empire is not advising the
townspeople to begin tearing up
the streets. Anyway, it wasn't a
very big nugget.

JAMES DAVIS, 0pA
ADMINISTRATOR, IS
NOW VISITING HERE
Official Trying 10 Become
Familiar with Alaska
Problems

James P. Davis, Regional Adj
ministrator for the Office of Price
Administration, is in Juneau at
the present time. He is in charge
of Region g. which covers the Ter
ritories and Possessions of the
United States, and is visiting Alaska
in order to become familiar with
business conditions and problems
here.
OF the OPA, Mr.. Davis says: "All
we have ever tried to do is to give
people the benefits of the Act
which makes available prices within
reason. The program is as val
liable to business as it is to citizens
Alaska business has the benefit
of ceiling prices in the States. This
has taken the usual speculation out
of business in a war theatre, such
as this. 1 am very pleased that
business communities have realized
the need of the OPA in Alaska
and have cooperated to make ii
effective.
Il was asked to take an active
part in steering OPA legislation
through Congress last spring, and
never once did I hear any sug-
gestion from the legislators that
the OPA was not needed. They
realize that we have done a very
good job in stabilizing prices, and
know that our work must be con-
tinued until normal conditions have
been resumed.
mo one in the OPA has any
desire to continue this work after
| it is essential We are all hoping
that it and other war control Of
| fices may be discontinued in the
very near future.
while I am here, I would he
very glad to meet and discuss OPA
problems with any business man
or interested party"
1t was SO degrees in Washington
when Mr.. Davis left there, and he
reports that the cool Juneau eli
mate is a welcome relief. He is
very pleased with Alaska, but a
little disappointed in the unsucess-
full fishing he has done here.
On Thursday the Administrator
will be guest speaker at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
and will also attend the Rotary
luncheon. He is hoping to be able
to visit other Alaska towns but
must be back in Denver by the
31st of this month to attend a
meeting of Regional Representa-
tives.
