CAIRO NOT IT'S ORIGIN

CAIRO. Jan. 20 1NS) - A
thorough checkup OF official rec

revealed today that the Cairo
datelined rumor printed by Tho
Russian Communist Party paper
Pravda on alleged Anglo-German
peace talks did not originate As a

Neither the British nor Egyptian

Adding TO the mystery Of tho
origin of Pravda'S sensational story
was the fact that there never has

Russia is our ally only so

plus War Property Administration was charged with the disposal of all surplus war goods in the United States and it's possessions.
 The actual work of this disposal was placed in the hands of seven agencies of the National Govern ment, ie.: The Reconstruction Fin anee corporation. The Procurement Division of the Treasury depart ment, The United States Maritime commission, The War Food admin istration. National Housing agency, The Federal Works agency, and the Foreign Economic administration. Each of these agencies was entrust- ed with the disposal of the type of commodity which it was best fitted by past experience to handle.
 Because of the special conditions in Alaska, some changes have been made in the procedure as followed in the States. The most important of these is designation of the Re construction Finance corporation as the sole disposal agency for all of Alaska. and all surplus property wherever located in the Territory is to be handled by it. David E. Browne has been named as Special Representative in charge of this work and the address is as follows: Reconstruction Finance. corporation, Box 1349. Fairbanks, Alaska.
 The chief objectiyes of the dis posal program in Alaska are as fol- lows:
 a. To effect as full utilization as possible of all our resources in dhe prosecution of the war.
 b. To get idle equipment and tools of production back to work in the economy of Alaska
 c. To do this with the minimum of interference with normal chan nels of trade and in such a manner as to assure the use of these goods in productive rather than specuia- tive Use.
 d. To secure as fair return to the Government as is possible, consis- tent with the above objectiYes.
 The actual machinery for obtain ing these oDjectiYes in Alaska is, at present, set forth as follows:
 ]. The War department or other agency ill possession of the proper ty will first determine, within it's own organization, whether or not the property is surplus to it's needs both in the Territory and else where.
 2. Any surplus so found will be reported to the Reconstruction Fin ance corporation as such.
 8. The Reconstruction Finance corporation will set up inventory records of this property and will

News Out of India

Foreign news dispatches tell Us that the Madras Government in India has suspended the Prohibit ton Act. It was enacted in 1889, and it prohibited the sale and con sumption of intoxicating liquors in four important provinces.
 No, we didn't gloat with glee be- cause we have a job with a distill- cry, but we dug-in to find out why the Madras Government suspended the Act, and-got the answer. Pro hibitiOn in Madras created a steady increase in illegal distillation, ac- eompanied by many of the we'll known offenses. Penalties did not curb violations. The Government also discovered that badly needed war funds went elsewhere instead of into it's coffers. So, on January 1, 1944, legal liquor shops were re- opened in the four districts where, since 1899, Prohibition did not prohibit.
 We believe that the average man and woman really views the subject as not being a question of wet and dry, but rather as a question of legal and illegal liquor. And, surely, if one is not entirely satisfied with the experience in the United States, one can gather a lot of corrobora- tive evidence from other countries, namely, Russia, Sweden, Norway and Finland. And then add the Canadian Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia. Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan. All these have experimented with Pro hibition and all of them have found the experiment ''ignoble."
 Color, race, creed, and geography don't seem to make much differ ence. We ought to learn something from that and profit from our learn ing. Some sage once said, 'There are three kinds of men, the wise, the part-wise and the unwise. The unwise man never learns anything; the part-wise man learns from his own experiences; the wise man learns from the experiences of others.

SURPLUS WAR PROPERTY
 IN ALASKA WILL BE SOLD

In Alaska, as elsewhere in the United States, the disposal of the enormous stocks of material and ex- tensive plant facilities made nec- essary by the war presents one of the most important and difficult problems facing the American peo- pie. The changing conditions of war and the successes of the United Ma tions resulted in the accumulation of quantities of equipment which are no longer needed for their ori- ginal purposes and in many in stances are surplus to the entire war effort. The efficient redistri- button and utilization of these ma terials is of primary importance to the successful prosecution of e war and the expected recOnyersiOn to peace.
 With our experience in the last war as a guide, the general proce- dures necessary to attain this objec- tive were recommended in the Bar uch-Hancock report of late 1943. The machinery to carry out this program was set up by Executive Order in February, 1944, and was called the Surplus War Property Administration, commonly referred to as SWAP" Finally the Surplus Property Act of 1944 was passed by Congress and approved on October 8, 1914. Under these Acts, the Sur

 5. After sale, the purchaser will be given an order upon the owning agency for the property purchased, and the property will become his as in any private sale.
 Suggestions To Purchasers
 A list has been prepared by the Reconstruction Finance corporation for distribution to every post office CT town in Alaska, and will be available for inspection at the post office or other public place. This list classifies all material goods which may be available for disposal into separate groups. each of which is preceded on the list by a three digit number. Any prospective pur- chaser should, if possible, consult this list and determine what type of products listed thereon he might be interested in acquiring A letter should be written to the Recon struction Finance corporation, Box l349, Fairbanks, Alaska, stating the number and name of the group in which the product desired falls, together with any more detailed de- scription or comment that may
