duced in the Senate to authorize the Secretary Of the Interior to lease certain public lands in Alaska, more specifically providing that the Secretary may
 lease or grant revocable permits to for agrcul- tural industrial commercial any other purposes, any of the public lands of the United States in the Territory of Alaska tracts not to exceed 160 any part of which lies within 80 rods of any navgabe or other waters including lands within shore space reservations"
 Abe Fortas undersecretary to Ickes, says in a letter to Speaker sam Rayburn of the House that the main objective of the proposed bill is to grant additional authority to this Department with respect to the management and of the shore lands in Alaska"
 Obviously such law would simply mean that the Secretary of the Interior might well let you use
 little piece of Alaska today and give you the boot tomorrow, depending on how he feels.
 Delegate Dmond, responding to query from the Clerk of the Committee Public Lands and Surveys of the Senate concerning whether or not Dimond was in favor of the bill, has this to say:
 The answer to the question is no. The bill is tically all residents of Alaska The purpose of the bill is to confer large discretionary powers with respect to certain public lands upon administrative officer In my judgment the public interest is much better served under the present law where men who desire public land can title to it under law and are not dependent to their property rights upon the views of temporary administrative officials

SATURDAY, DECEMBER

 Adverse planetary signs again dominate today It is a time to avoid business decisions.
 HEART AND HOME: Especial care in choosing gifts is enjoined today. Judgment may not be trust worthy and the inclination to spend money foolishly may be strong. Unnecessary fatigue must be avoid ed, for the stars presage epi- demics affecting stomach or lungs.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Heads of big business will be occupied with plans for the new year which of fers amazing opportunities as well as hazards. The seers warn against suspicious and conflicting ambitions which may affect postwar com merce among the United Nations and liberated countries. This na- tion must exercise extraordinary foresight, wisdom and justice in all international agreements.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Demands will be insistent that the principles of democracy shall rule in plans and appointments of the Admins tration in Washington. Racial and religious prejudiees must be elimi- mated from all programs for re- organization, the seers declare.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S: Study Of war cycles seem to prove that international conflicts belong to idealistic periods and that civil uprisings accompany mechanistie development, indicating a universal rhythm in civilization The outlook for coming months is good, victory will preface such mass construction and such rebuilding as never has been envisioned by any dreamer.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury Of a year of do- mestic problems and readjustments which will assure happiness. Specu- lation should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be gifted~and ambitious, high-strung and energetc. Success ful careers are indicated

Russia, in which Roosevelt would have found himself right in the middle.
 The President acted as middle man between Churchill and Stalin at Teheran in ironing out the Balkans, plus the time and place of the Second Front. FDR swung his weight with Stalin when it came to the Second Front, and also veered toward Stalin regarding the right of Russia to influence Bull garia, Rumania and the eastern half of the Balkans.
 However, a lot more problems between Stalin and Churchill have arisen to be ironed out and Presi- dent Roosevelt is thinking twice before plunking himself down in the middle. One is Iran, where Moscow newspapers already are complaining about the presence of United States troops, even though those troops were sent there to speed lend-lease supplies to Russia.

against the New Deal. All they get is a me too candidate who winks at them as he passes
 Halleek demanded that the Re publican National Committee go to work at once, or else be by passed for the next couple of years by COP members of Congress who, working independently, would carry on as they see fit.
 If the National Committee doesn't go cut right away and start a big fund-raising program, then we will do it here" said Halleck
 He was referring to the Republi- can Campaign Committee which he heads.
 There's plenty of money now, Halleck said, and it won't be available later. If the National Committee doesn't get it, then my committee will and we'll run things our own way too"
 The meeting adjourned with the decision to let the assembled Con- gressmen's recommendations go to the COP National Committee for action and approval.

Republican Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Charlie Hal leck of Indiana held a very sig nificant secret post-mortem on the elections last week.
 Nine lower chamber COP big wigs attended the session in a Washington hotel, devoted four hours to letting their hair down, setting up a program for l945 and 1946.
 Most insistent demand of all was voiced by Halleck, who wants to start working at once for the 1948 Presidential campaign. Halleck de- manded that the Republican Ma tional Committee stop fumbling, forget about vacations, start col lecting money at once for an en- larged staff, plus an enlarged pro- gram to swing the nation to the COP.
 Joe Martin tried to name man of his own who would actually run the Republican National Committee under the chairman. But he was stymied. Martin said he thought Herbert Brownell would be okay in the chairman's chair for the next couple of months, but suggested that someone be appointed execu- tive director of the committee to do the bulk of the work under Brownell. This was vigorously op- posed by Cliff Hope of Kansas, Les Arends of Illinois, Tom Jenkins of Ohio and others present.

DIFFICULT PROBLEMS AHEAD

Another is the Dardenelles and Russia's cherished ambition for an outlet through the Black Sea. Another is Greece, where British and Russian interests could be a lot more harmonious. Then there are the still difficult prob- lems of Poland and the states bordering between Russia and Western Europe.
 All of this has made the Presi- dent think twice about landing in the middle of a Russian-B British clash of interest. This clash, it is recognized, is bound to exist. It has existed between the British Empire and the Russian Empire ever since the Crimean War, when British troops went to the side of Turkey to prevent the Czar from penetrating through the Darde- nelles.
 It is the century-old fight by the British to keep the Slavs, with the greatest land mass in he world, bottled up, with no warm water port giving them access to the sea
 While the President must face this problem eventually, he is be- ing urged to wait until Stalin is in mcr9 negotiable frame of mind. The British, on the other hand, believe these problems should net ha postponed, should be faced immediately. They are urging that the Big Three conference not be postponed. For the time being, however, the President seems to favor postponement.

Cleveland, O., April 10 = Mayor
Frank ]. LauSche Is heading out
to the farms and hamlets Of Ohio
even to where the creeks go dry
and call 1t quits = in a campaign
to convince gubernatorial voters to
hitch their ballots to his rising po-
litical star.
The star began its ascent when
Governor George White appointed
Lausche (rhymes with ''how She'0
to fill Municipal Court vacancy in
Cleveland in 1882. Lausche, a Dem
ocratic ward leader. was Just 81 at
the time.
The fortnight young attorney
had had try at politics 10 years
before, when he ran for the state
legislature and was beaten. One
reason for his defeat was that,
in a campaign speech before a
w. c. T. U. meeting, he told the
ladies that he favored light wines
and beer.
DECLINED FIRST CALL
Three years on the bench and
a fearless campaign against law
less elements in Cleveland spot
lighted the judge. The Cleveland
Press, in a front-page editorials,
urged him to run for the mayors
office, to aid a "city torn by law
leSsness and violence, ridden with
graft and spoils politics, infested
with racketeers and plug ugIies, I'M
certain about its civic policies,
needing a clean and honest and able
leader"
That was great come-on for a
young and ambitious jurist, but
Lausche demurred. His refusal to
enter city politics paved the way for
Harold H. Burtons election and re-
election. Anr Burton, from an I'M
known in politics, went to the U. S.
Senate.
Meanwhile Judge Lausche went
ahead in his cleanup of gambling
and labor racketeering. Finally he
entered city politics-though he
prefers to call it civic service
and easily became mayor.
Amazing things happened. Cam
paign promises were fulfilled, cost
of city government was lowered
despite pay raises to civic employees,
bossism of both parties waned, and
jobs were given on merit.
SETTLED ALL STRIKES
Clevland found itself with
mayor who was a humanitarian,
big, black-haired fellow of humblest
Slovenian descent who wanted to
see 1.-The people" get break. He Or

strike and dispute brought before it.

tives found themselves working to-

gether. War production went up.
The formula, as Lausche found
it. ives extreme sincerity and SIM
plicity.
Catalyst to the formula was a
knack for seeing thousands of peo-
pie at every opportunity. In the
summer, Mayor and Mrs. Lausche,
who were married in 1923, would
turn up at the dozens of little ma
tionality picnicS that were held
each Sunday in the groves and
parks in and out of Cleveland.
Unannounced, the Mayor would
drop in on Serbs, Slovenes, Greeks,
Italians, Swedes, Poles, and Rus
slams. He and his slim, pretty wife,
Jane, would have bottle of beer
and sandwich, maybe help judge
a footrace or needlework contest.
Then, a quick round of handshakeS
and the Lausches were off to an
other picnic.
HE'S BASEBALL FAN
Golf provides the Mayor with his
greatest form of relaxation. He
shoots in the high COS. Before the
first war, he was good enough at
baseball to play professionally with
Duluth in the Northern League. He
was offered contract with Atlanta
in the Southern Association but re-
fused it to turn to law. Today he
wistfully wishes he had continued
in baseball "just to see how far I
could have gone" 1t is only natural
that Cleveland sandlotters enjoy
spacious playing fields, and many

Of its Poll on the Peace. Polling

discloses several unexpected trends
in the thinking of a large cross
section OF INSTRUMENTATION
American Christianity:
81 percent voted to punish the
leaders of the Axis, but a majority
of 70 per cent voted against punish
ment for the people of the Axis ma
tons; there was definite insistence
that the punishment be inflicted in
a spirit of justice, and not in re-
venge.
10 percent favored punishment Of
under-off1cers and soldiers guilty of
atrocities; II PER cent would dis
arm the Axis completely and Al per-
cent would deprive them of their
colonies. SO percent wanted collec-
tive responsibilities for all colonies
as opposed to continued national
ownership; 40 percent would de-
mand indemnitieS of the Axis: "a
percent wants to conscript Axis
manpower to rebuild devastated
areas. The highest percentage of af-

TO COMBAT RISE
IN CHILDREN'S
TRAFFIC DEATHS

washington, April 19-UP)-As
q result Of the alarming upswing''
IN deaths due to traffic accidents in
1913. the National Education Assn.
has opened q drive to make Ameri-
can students safety-conscious.
The National Commission on
Safety Education, created by NEA
for this program, will channel into
the classroom the specialized know
ledge Of highways engines, auto
mobile manufacturers and traffic
directors In an effort to cut traffic
fatalities.
Accident victims under IA years
Of age account for the 1913 death
rate increase, according to Willard
Z. Givens, NEA Executive Secre-
tary.
8 Per Cent Increase
while all other age groups ex-
perienced a decrease in 1913 COM
pared to 1912, there was an eight
per cent increase in traffic deaths
among children under a." he said.
The increased accident rate
among children is attributed large
" to the abnormal laxity of child
supervision in homes where en-
ployed parents are away during the
day.
Other factors include inefficient
enforcement resulting from the mil
1tary drain on police and other traf-
fic authorities; increasing age of
cars and trucks. with correspond
ing increase in defects; the deterior-
alton and neglect Of highways, and
general wartime filters.

be taken up.
The 12-member commission will
have representatives from the ele-
mentary, secondary and college
levels, including specialists in class
room instruction, highways and
traffic engineering, public admin
iStration and finance, and transpor-
tation.
1t is headed by Robert w. Eaves
who resigned as Administrative
Principal, and Chairman of the
