An experiment in collecting
scrap aluminium was conducted by
the government in Richmand, Va,
and Madison, Wise. The response
was generous. Nearly everyone in
town gave one or more items. The
last collection was made by the
Boy and the Girl Scouts calling
at every door. When the col
lections were totaled and weighed
they furnished basis as to what
could be expected from a nation
wide drive for scrap aluminium.

SITTING TIGHT

Perhaps we are getting older
and wiser that we sit tight and
wait to pass judgment on accept
ing new governments that are
formed through revolution. We
are now reserving our acceptance
of the Bolivian set-up, as an ex-
ample of caution. The reason is
that we are not sure as yet wheth-
er there is Axis politics back of
this, although we hear from good
sources that the revolution was
due to the treatment of the work
ers in the tin mines by the tin
barons. There was almost mass
starvation in Bolivia and distress
of this nature is apt to lead to
revolution. We must be under
standing of our neighbors, and
must be sure that the government
that represents the people is a
friendly one to America.

FOURTH WAR LOAN DRIVE

This Fourth War Loan Drive
calls for $l4,000,000 900 for the
further support Of the war in
which we are still engaged and in
which we will still be fighting
long after this above amount is
expended, probably. General Els
enhower says: eve will win the
European war in 1914" Secretary
of State Cordell Hull says: "The
war in Europe can be .ended in
1914 provided all peoples of the
United Nations redouble their eff
forts and work in greater unity
This might be the theme song for
our drive, but without the audi
ence joining in the chorus the
show won't run. A pledge of vic
tory by the fighting forces, only
if we at home make the gain pos
sible. We cannot storm a fort
ress without proper equipment,
conquer an enemy without finan-
cial backing. All nations have
been able to train fighters, to get
up an army from all walks Of life
and even fight for all kinds Of
causes. We do not belittle the
ability of our enemies. But in
any army, the winning side, the
superior force, the one who will
finally succeed, is the best
equipped one. Force in numbers
does not mean much if the men
are not given the needed tools and
the best and newest and safest
goods will speed them to victory
the sooner. Why do we expect to
win the war? Because we know
we have superior equipment. We
know we are going to supply our
boys with the best food possible,
the finest medical attention avail
able. This, the peoples war, means
not only. to man the supply, but
to supply the men. This is why
new War Loan Drive is neces-
sary. Make every dollar fight

American hospitals are now en-
gagged in collecting 100000 quarts
of blood to make powdered plasma
for this country and Britain.
Plasma is the straw colored liquid

said to be just as useful in trans
fusions as whole blood. Dried
plasma may be kept indefinitely
and can be restored to usefulness

REGULATIONS ARE ISSUED IN REGARD TO FROZEN 5EAF00D

Finishing touches were recently put on new regulations of the Ter ritorial Health Department regard ing frozen clans, cold pack" shrimp and crabs, and other un- sterilized shellfish. Increasing pro- duction of these types of sea-foods in Alaska has been investigated by the Health Department in order to prevent insanitary procedures which might be dangerous to the consu- mers of the foods. These regula- tions were given the effect of law by the Territorial Board of Admin istration after various conferences with the packer and a substantial agreement by them that such action was the proper thing for everybody concerned.
 Persons who plan to pack such products are required to apply to the Territorial Health Department for permits which will be granted after inspections of the plants have determined that they are properly equipped and sanitary procedures are followed. Employees of such plants must be examined by a phy- sician to determine freedom from communicable disease and permits to work will be issued by the local Health Officers. Cooperation from the Seattle office of the Federal Department of Foods and Drugs has been promised in this new activity.
 Full text of the new rules and regulations have been supplied to packers and cold storage plants in Sitka, Wrangell and Petersburg where this type of sea-food indus try is being developed

BULLETIN-SEATTLE, Jan.

 Board announces that union
 officials and government rep
 resentatives are to meet this
 afternoon in an effort to settle
 the present walkout of foundry
 workers. One official stated the
 10000 now idle will soon swell
 to 10000 or 30,O0O.
 SEATTLE, Jan. 19.-Government agencies, war industries and workers waited tensely today for any devel- opments which might lead to 8 break in the strike of 5000 vital foundry workers in 79 plants in Washington and Oregon.
 Denzil Hailey, spokesman for the employers, said the most serious blow will probably fall on landing tank ships which have the highest priority rating in this area"
 The, strike was called when de- mands for an increase of eight cents an hour to journeymen and mould CTS was denied by the War Labor Board.
 The strike is hitting many war industries, shipbuilding, trucks tractors, ship repair work and the Boeing Aircraft Company producing Flying Fortresses.

SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGISLATURE
 MAY BE CALLED

In response to increasing demands that the Territory take action tc permit Alaska soldiers to vote in the 1914 elections and to consider other urgent legislative matters Acting Governor E. L. Bartlett is polling members of the Sixteenth Legislature by radiogram to obtain their views as to the necessity fol a special session.
 Tt is apparent" said Bartlett there is a growing feeling in many sections of the Territory that there are pressing problems facing us which cannot be deferred until the next regular session of the Leg islature in 1945, and which must be acted upon by the legislative rather than by the executive branch of government.
 Congress has not yet acted to permit soldiers absent from their places of residence to vote under a Federal system and there is no guarantee at all that even if Con- gress does act the Territories would be included in such legislation. Therefore, if the Territory itself does nothing, Alaska soldiers, absent from their homes, would have to rely upon absentee ballots if they desire to vote and for all practicable purposes this would mean the right to vote would be denied them"
 It was also said that a special session, if called, would probably pass on the desirability of granting additional money benefits from the Territory to dependents of Alaska servicemen These benefits would supplement those already received from the Federal government, and have been urged in view of the higher living costs in the Territory. Likewise, individuals and groups are insisting that something be done in the matter of raising the maximum amount payable for old age assist ance. This amount has remained unchanged all during the war period when living costs have increased appreciably.
 Some members of the Legislature believe any special session ought to provide for a referendum in the 1944 election on the question of statehood. Coordination on a ter ritorial scale of the various com munity and individual groups which are busily engaged in planning for the postwar period has been sug- gested and this also would probably be considered, if special session is held
 Two members of the House are now in the Army-Representative John O'Shea of Fairbanks and Rep- resentative Egan of Valdez. Senator Stuart Stangroom of Nome has moved to Seattle and has resigned from the Senate. A special session if called would be the last one under the system which has prevailed since the first Legislature in 1913. The 1945 Legislature will be com- posed of a Senate of 16 members and a House of 24 members instead of a Senate of eight members and a House of Is members as at present
