Christmas cards, geared to war
time simplicity in design, are selling
faster than ever before, according
to survey conducted by The Star,
but many persons win receive cards
just like the ones they send.
Because of Washington's greatest
demand-cards to send overseas
most stores started selling them In
August or early September. Greet
ing card counters have been
swamped ever since. As one clerk
put it, isn't it awful? Sure makes
the Christmas season long,"
Few are the military designs this
year, however. Consensus is that
men want to get away from remind
ers of their insignia, uniforms, etc,

production had been cut 10 per cent,
another one-third. Several stores
started running out in September.
A trend toward speciality, or "rela-
tive" cards Is noted. A dime store
counter now carries nothing but:
"Just for you sweetheart" ITO my
girl Cor husbanb In the service" I"
ITO Special Friend" or even ITO

Despite the lack Of variety of pre-
war years, there seems to be q suf-

Ha||eck Hits Setup
OF War Surplus Board

Representative Halleck, Republi.
can, of Indiana, charged in a state
ment last night that "the smoke Of
scandal envelops the whole scene"
Of plans for disposing of surplus
Government property.
Describing the New Deal record in
this matter as shameful" Mr.. Hal
leck asserted "it now appears that
Harry Hopkins, the all-time cham
pion waster, again is playing Santa
Claus through certain of his pro-
teges who will administer this vast
undertaking
Two Democratic lame ducks al
ready have been named as stoogs
heads of the Surplus Property
Board" he added. They are alb
solutely without retail selling expe-
rience. Yet their responsibility viii
be to conduct the greatest selling
job Of all history. CHASTITY is the
only word which describes the prob
able economic results of the unin-
formed efforts" of this board.
President Roosevelt so far has
nominated Robert A. Hurley, former
Democratic Governor of Connecti-
cut, who was defeated November z,
and 1t. Col. Edward r. Heller for
positions on the three-man board.
The third place is expected to be
filled by Senator Gillette, Democrat,
OF Iowa, who was defeated for re-
lection November 7.
Representative Halleck charged
that efforts of conscientious" mem
bers of Congress to write effective
and economical legislation for dis
posal of surplus property were
wrecked by administration schem-
ers." The act is 80 loosely drawn"
he said. but added that "an abls
and conscientious board" could ad-

claims have been recognized by the Department sets a precedent which may eventually spread to all parts of the territory, since all of Alaska may eventually be proved to have been occupied by aboriginals, and reservations will have to be set aside for the whites.
 It is preposterous that the white people who have invested their lives in the development of this territory should be barred at this late date, when, as never before the prospects seem bright to exploit the resources which, to date have been developed by the initiative of white men. and with precious little en- cOuragement from the federal gov ernment The Department of the In teriOr is exceeding the intent and authority granted it by Congress in proposing to make such vast reser- yations of the territorial lands and waterways. The Indians claims, if valid, should be presented to the United States Court of Claims, and their legality established in the proper way. As it is, the white peo- pie have no recourse to the courts to present their side of the ques- ton.
 For many years, Alaskans have been endeayoring to interest outside capital in investing in the future of Alaska, and recently there have been encouraging signs for the postwar period. notably in eonnec- ton with the pulpwood forests of this southeast Alaska section.

ON THQE WASlHflETGJ TON
 FRONT
By Jack Stinnett

WASHINGTON = Regardless of the fact that this is a national .elec, ton year when under ordinary cir cumstances Congress would limp off to an early Christmas holiday after the pre-November campaign battles, it begins to look as if the 78th ses- sion will end in a shower of legisla- tive fireworks.
 The Senate already has started debate on the controversial s. 375,OOO.O00 postwar highway con struction bill. The reconversion and surplus property disposal bills have yet to be passed.
 But these aren't the real pyro- technics that are expected to keep Congress blowing off until it is re- formed in January for a new ses- sion.
 Because the end of the war in Europe still is uncertain and be- cause elections are so near, mem bers of Congress won't discuss the real dynamite at all, but here it is:
 Sometime between now and De- cember 31, Congress has to decide
The Wrangell sentinel., 1944-09-29

whether rationing will be continued and for how long and on what pro- duets. On that date. rationing ends automatically unless Congress con- tinues it. There is a provision to extend 1t for a year incorporated In the extension of the second war powers act.
 When that comes up. special in terests will be in there fighting to get the bars dropped on their par ticular products. Members of Con gross whose constituents are so yi- tally affected will take up the fight
 
 Also before the first of the year, Congress has to decide whether the control over distribution and allo- cation of raw materials will be con- tinued.
 To put an end to the intricate system of priorities would be virtu- ally to put an end to the War Pro- duction Board. However, if the war in Europe is over, observers here think that the pressure to do that very thing would be considerable.
 Most guesses here now are that the rationing of gasoline, tires, cars. fuel oil, coal and some foods will be continued; that WIPE won't

WHAT'S BEHIND THIS ?

Since 1867. with the assurance of the Government of the United States that the Territory of Alaska was open for settlement, and it's re- sources open to all, pioneers with vision and determination have been coming north to develop the vast potentialities which were practical ly untouched before the purchase of the Territory from the Russians
 Recently citizens of southeast Al aska were alarmed by the news that the Interior Department would hold a series of three hearings at Rake. KIawock and Hydaburg into the claims of the Indians by which they sought to secure aboriginal rights to large areas in those dis tricts. Those hearings have just been concluded and a continuation held in Ketchikan during the past three days.
 Now comes the almost unbeliey- able news that the Wrangell, Doug las Juneau and Sitka Indians have filed similar petitions with the In terior Department The Thlinget Indians in the Juneau area are de- manding the whole capital city, to- gether with the famous Alaska Ju- neau mine. Protests have been filed by various chambers of commerce throughout the territory, as well as by other interested individuals and groups. Whether these will have any effect on the powers-that-be is highly debatable The fact that the
The Wrangell sentinel., 1944-09-29

be dropped but that its activities may be considerably curtailed; that the agencies involved will them selves relax rationing and price controls as soon as it seems feas- ible
 However. when the war in Eu- rope ends, the pressure to throw off restrictions on nearly all produc- ton, distribution and prices is ex- pected to reach a new high.
