The W ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON As n.t. Col. Robert 6. Allen now on active service with the Army0

WASHINGTON-Tom Dewey fin ally developed the FDR knack of relaxing while he campaigns. He travelled 5000 miles to make six speeches, finds he can do lot of quiet thinking on trains, prefers to make a speech, then get back to Albany for important strategy talks.
 DeWey's special car on the cam paign train is named the David Livingstone He sleeps soundly in a large compartment, Mrs. Dewey occupying room adjacent. En route to make his St. Louis speech however, Dewey did not sleep SC soundly Feeling a piece of metal under his pillow, he turned on the lights, found some wag had pinned an FDR button under it.
 The Dewey routine on his special train seldom varies. He rises at 8:30 a. m., eats exactly the same kind of breakfast fruit juice toast and coffee, as at Albany Mrs. Dewey, garrulous, boyish-look- ing Paul Lockwood and Elliot Bell State Superintendent of Banks and key ghost writing aid to the Coy ernor, usually join him.
 Meals are prepared by special chef in the private car, are served at a neat, lockwood table seating four persons, which can be enlarged to hold eight diners. Dewey's own waiter accompanies him.
 Dewey hates fish, eats red meat only once a week, enjoying fowl and vegetables the rest of the time. He is good eater, licks his plate clean, does no drinking while out campaigning. Other times. he enjoys a highball or two before

WAR LABOR BOARD ATTORNEY TALKS TO BUSINESS MEN HERE
Roy Jackson Advises
 Against Trying to Hide Violations of Law

Alaskan employers who have vio- lated the Wage Stabilization Act by paying unauthorized wage increases since October, 1942, should take steps to make the correct adjust ments now or they'll be paying for dead horse" later, Roy Jackson, attorney for the War Labor Board, told members of the Juneau Cham bers of Commerce today.
 Jackson, Chief Enforcement At torney for the War Labor Boards s Twelfth Regional Office of Alaska, Washington and Oregon, while ad- hitting that the stabilization act is one of the most drastic pieces of i legislation pass d by Congress, pointed out that it must be enforced and there are means of enforcing it..
 One Means 1 He said that when the Internal Revenue Department notices in in- come tax returns evidence of viola tions, the returns are disregarded by the department and turned over to i the War Labor Board The. War Labor Board also may secure evil dence of violations. through conn., ] pany records and audits. Stabilization Act
 Since November l, 1942, all en- ployers are responsible under the stabilization act. Before that time those who employed eight or fewer persons who did not belong to a union other than a small company union, were exempted.
 Jackson urged all employers in doubt as to their status to get in touch with the War Labor Board office in Room 204, Federal Build ing, of which pr. Charles T. Battin is the director.
 Penalties
 ! Penalties for violations involve i the disalloWance of deducting labor costs from income taxes. However, when employers ask for voluntary 1 settlements method of determining i the penalty has been worked out which may not hit as hard.
 Jackson said he came to Alaska on an investigation trip after com- plaints of alleged violations by AL askan employers had been received in the Seattle office. Jackson has made investigations and settled cases in Fairbanks and Anchorage. Sev- eral Juneau firms are involved at i present.
 Drastic Regulation In pointing out how drastic the Stabilization act is, Jackson related that the courts have held that the courts have no jurisdiction over the i War Labor Board regulations. In other words, these regulations go be- yond the power of the United States Supreme Court.
 Jackson prefaced his remarks with brief history of the stabilization program and told of the standard | SCO Dy tllC 41lUtiC k)tLS4 AO1biaAeA in July of 1942 when the national board decided that 15 percent wage increase would be allowed be- cause the cost of living had been increased by that much.
 Now, he said, the pressure is on by the labor unions to crack that ceiling, but the Little Steel formula apparently won't be junked until the eve of election or possibly after wards.
 Answering the question of whether we will have a War Labor Board after the war, Jackson said that it is just as unlawful to decrease wages as to increase them, and the need for such an agency probably will exist for some time after the war has ended.

CRUSHING DEFEAT IS GIVEN JAP FLEET
G| Joes Are Given Low DownAbout Farming;;If
 Is Work and Plenty 0i x
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. - For every CT Joe dreaming away in some rain soaked foxhole or on a hospital cot about that perfect little farm when he gets out of all this, the Department of Agriculture has just issued pamphlet that is an absolute must.
 It has the simple title: Shall I Be Farmer?" It recognizes the fact that thousands of GI Joes who are fed up with war and muck and blood are dreaming of the day when they can settle down in nice little house, with a loving wife, healthy kids, friendly neighbors, a big barn and enough acres to raise whatever they want.
 Make no mistake about this. The Department of Agriculture isn't out to shatter any CT dreams. Secretary Wickard, in preface, states un- equivocally that the government and his department are out to help make those dreams come true. It's just that they don't want the boys com ing back and jumping off the deep end with their heads full of dreams and nothing else.
 Shall I Be a Farmer?" is about the most realistic and helpful of the small government publications have seen. It's only B pages and smaller than the pocket-size maga- zines by half.
 It emphasizes that that CT dream farm can often be nightmare; that farming is alarmed hard way of making living; that it takes capital-lots of it--and experience; that the cash returns are often pain fully small Bat through the whole little booklet there are implications of compensations that aren't so diff ferent from those CT dreams if a man is willing to face the realities and hardships.
 The authors of the pamphlet think about the Mrost thing future farm CT could do would be to plunk his savings down for a farm if he has no knowledge of farming. To get this experience, they suggest hiring out for a couple of years on the type of farm in mind For those who haven't finished their educa- tion, there are agricultural schools. For those who have, there's the de- partments extension service.
 After that, potential farmer has to decide what kind of farming he wants to do, where he wants to do it, and how he's going to pay his way getting started.
 The pamphlet lists by States the approximate costs of family farms. These range all the way from $3,5OO in some Southern States to ten or twelve thousand dollars in Texas, Iowa, Illinois and some Western States.
 It also points out that investments in equipment and stock may range as high as the original farm cost

Economist
Advocates
World Plan

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Global BIZ
metallism Is advocated by Prof
Humphrey Michel, Canadian econ
omist, as sound system of hard
money that would function salts
factorily as a medium for world
trade and avert a repetition of the
disastrous breakdown of monetary
systems that followed in the wake
of the first World war.
Only four steps would be involved
in agreement between nations to
establish international birnetallism
so that it would work, Prof. Michel
says. He lists them as follows:
l. A fixed universal mint or legal
ratio of silver 70 gold, agreed upon
and put into effect with free con-
vertibility of one metal with an
other, subject to certain limitations.
This ratio must be fixed at or near
that of the two metals ruling in the
bullion market at the time.
2. Gold and silver coins must be
put into free circulation and all
banks be required to exchange their
notes for gold and silver at a fixed
ratio between the two metals.
8. All silver coins must be re-
stored to a fineness of 925 parts in
1000 and given unlimited legal ten
der value.
f. The minis of the various coun-
tries must be required to accept
silver coinage to an unlimited
amount, charging a small brass
age" fee for their services.

ITO read the press reports of
these speeches" said Senator Scrug-
ham, ''one would think that scarcely
a pound of ore of any kind is left
in the United States. Nothing could
be, further from the truth and If
our domestic mining industry does
not defend itself from this insidious
propaganda we win soon after the
war find ourselves with our mines
closed down and our markets flood
ed with cheap foreign minerals and
metals. The smaller mine operator
win be the greatest sufferer. I do
not mean to say that we should
cease importations where they are
really necessary.
Il want to point out the danger of
minimizing our domestic resources.
Further, think that we must keep
on making new discoveries and de
veloping them and only healthy,
prosperous mining industry can do
this. We must not be caught again
with our mines shut down and
have to undergo the hazards of inn
porting to supply the bare needs
of our industrial machinery until,
by the expenditure of large sums
of money and desperate efforts on
the part of our mine operators, we
can build up our own output.
"Stockpiling, as everyone agrees,
win act as insurance against fu-
ture emergency. AS much of these
stockpiles as possible should be
acquired from domestic sources.
Not only will the minerals and
metals in a stockpile be truly con-
served but they viii be ready for
use at a moments notice. My pro-
posed bill, S. 1882, would accom-
plish this purpose as well as save
the postwar markets from uncon-
trolled dumping of war SURPRISES.
Finally" said Senator Scrugham,
our mining industry is entitled to a
return of it's wartime investment as
surely as is the manufacturing in
dustry, yet no Baruch formula or
variation thereof has been advanced
to secure it from loss. The domestic
mining industry wants no more
war mineral relief acts; all it asks
is a square deal all around"

GOVERNMENTAL on.
EXPERIMENTS FAn.
TO SCORE SUCCESS

Government participation In the
oil business has not been a highly
successful one, according to George
A. Hill, president of the Houston
Oil Co, who recently addressed a
meeting in Washington of the Pc
troleum Industry War Council
Neither direct engagement in
nor regulations by foreign govern
ments of their respective oil indus
tries has resulted in success com
parable to that of the privately
owned and privately managed oil
industry of the United States" Hill
said.
The executive pointed out that
Russia is the largest land mass
under one sovereignty in the world.
It also possesses the largest poten-
tial oil reserves. Under government
{ operation, the 1043 oil production
averaged $4,000 barrels daily or
considerably less than was produced
each day in the State of California.

NEW YORK, N. War de
mands have been so heavy upon
American deposits of copper. lead

ceived the Charles F. Rand memo
rial medal from the American In
stitute of Mining & Metallurgical
Engineers.

sources" and that mo new mine of

Alaska War
Population Is
Hunting Gold

Soldiers and construction workers
in Alaska have joined the new gold
rush. Man has always been inter-
ested in gold, even if our present
government is not. Tales of the
fortunes made in the days of '9S
are known to every one. The nat
ural result is that many of the
men propelled to Alaska by the war
are spending their spare time look
ing for gold. Because most of them
know nothing of the prospectors'
lore, they are taking advantage of
the extension courses of the Uni
versity of Alaska.
The university is holding short
courses in various towns In the
territory. The course is of two
weeks duration, five nights a week,
and one hour night. No charge
is made, but the students must
provide their own textbooks. The
course covers mineral deposits,
geology as it applies to prospecting,
mineral identification, and mining
laws.
Despite the current interest evil
denced by the service men and
construction workers, it win not
be until after the war that the
real import of this work will be
demonstrated. Then it viii be seen
how many of these men viii re
turn to Alaska to make her future
their own.-Mining Journal.
