Allen Shattuck, veteran Alaskan and Juneau can didae for Territorial Senator in the special election which will be held next Wednesday is called, among other things "an Alaskan counterpart of New York's Ham Fish" which is just about the worst label that could be attached any political candidate Shattuck is also attacked conservative without just basis for the accusation
 As we all know, anyone wishing to check the legislative policy of any former member of the Legis ature need only peruse the recorded journal Some of MT Shattuck's friends have done this MT Shattuck served last in the 1941 session. The record shows that he voted for such measures as bill which would widen the coverage of the Unempoy ment Compensation Law. measure which would have provided that employers of only one person come under the law Before that time only employers Of eight or more workers were liable.
 He voted also for a bill which would have, accord ing to the sponsors of the at that time set up more efficient tax system for the Territory.
 He voted for bill which set up Department of Labor for the working of Alaska. He voted for and urged passage of blanket primary law to take the place of the present primary which he believed to be unavoidable.

 It is never an easy job to find good men who are willing to give up two months of their time to serve in the Legislature. We think it is deplorable when any candidate receives such unjust treatment

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23
 Conflicting planetary aspects are active today when there may be a sense of confusion and frustra- tion
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under fortunate influences that en- able them to contribute much to the comfort and happiness of under privileged children. Weari- ness from over-exertion may be prevalent in households where GUS toms of holiday hospitality are ad- hered to-
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Hotels, restaurants and night clubs will be well patronized over the weekend. A mad rush for pleasure is forecast. The most costly Christmas in many years is foreseen by astrologers. NATIONAL ISSUES: There are signs of general reaction toward ! old fashioned standards of life. Fashion leaders will exercise salutary influence in modes and manners.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: London's chart for this month which has shown the likelihood of upheavals and changes in govern ment leadership, contains promise of better conditions in the new year. There is bad omen for royalty; illness is indicated. Epi- denies among the much-bombed people of the great city is fore cast.
 1 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pro- gress which may be slow but cer- tain. It should be a lucky year for the young.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be clever and well-bal- anced. Although generous and phil anthropic, they will be careful in money matters.

Bartlett, who had resigned that office prior to taking up his official duties as Alaska's Delegate to Congress.

Other officers include Dr. James c. Ryan, Secretary, and James McNaughton, Treasurer. Comprising the remainder of the Board are H. R. Wander Leest, J. B. Burford, Dr. J. O. Rude and H. L. Faulkner.
 The current status of the various projects were discussed. Dr. J. C.. Hayes, senior surgeon (R) and ex- ecutive officer in the Territorial | Health Department, announced that school children in Ketchikan had had X-ray diagnosis and that this same program would soon be extended wherever possible through out the Territory.
 Mrs. Bess Vim, executive secre- tary, reported that the rehabilita- tion program for Alaskan patients in Washington sanatariums was making favorable progress, that not only were the arts and crafts prov ing popular, but that school courses were also eagerly sought after.
 According to Mrs. Vim, the sum of $l20 has been donated by the Alaska Association toward the gen. eral library for patients. It was also stated that the seal sale was far in access of expectations, since the members of the Alaskan armed forces added their generous dona- tons to those of the citizens.

NEW YORK, May 4.--Chairman
James A. Farley OF the Democratic
State Committee said last night he
had asked Gov. Thomas E. Dewey by
telegram on April ~ to order spe-
cial elections to fill two congress
sional vacancies and that he had
received no reply from the Gov
ernor.
For Gov. Dewey not to call these
elections at this time can only be
for political reasons" the former
Postmaster General said.
Il sincerely trust that IL the Gov
ernor has had any idea Of not hold
ing these elections, he will recon-
slider same and call them immedi-
ately."
The vacancies were caused by the
deaths Of Representative Cullen on

Warren for Data
On Junkets

Senator Bushfield, Republican, OF
South Dakota today made public a
letter In which he asked Controller
General Lindsay Warren who au-
thorized the junkets abroad Of Gov
ernment officials apparently at the
taxpayers expense and seemingly
with no ofIicialy duties to perform. .
He also asked who audits their ac-
counts.
The inquiry, the Senator said, was
made in behalf Of a constituent who
inquired particularly about the re-
cent North African tour of Secretary
Of the Treasury Morgenthau and the
coming trip to China by Vice Presi-
dent Wallace.
No reference was made by the
constituent, Senator Bushfield wrote
ito trips by Mrs. Roosevelt or the
South American tour of Mr.. Wallace
My constituent did inquire, however
why airplanes are available for these
junkets and others when the New
Deal contends there Is not enough
plane space to carry the ballots OF

Victory for Pepper.
Indicated by Returns;
RunoH for Governor
BY the Associated Press.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May A.
Senator Pepper, one of President
Roosevelt's vigorous supporters, ap-
peared today to have won renomina-
ton over four opponents on the
basis of nearly complete returns
from Florida's Democratic primary.
In the oloseIg contested race for
the Democtatic nomination for Gov
ernor, it looked as If Millard Gald-
well, Tallahassee attorney and for
mer member of Congress, and Rep
resentative Green would go into a
runoff primary May %, with the
winner succeeding Gov. Spessard L.
Holland. ~
Senator Pepper rolled up $500
votes more than his four opponents
combined.
Unofficial returns from 1,349 of
l ,496 precincts gave Senator Pepper
1888 votes, County Judge j. Ollie
Edmunds OF Jacksonville 1888 and
three others $3.50.
Unless onicial returns-to be tab
ulated next week, along with ab-
sentee ballots and soldier votes not
included in the unofficial count
change the indicated outcome, Sem
ator Pepper will win denomination.
Florida's 18 votes at the Demo-
cratic National Convention may be
cast en- bloc for a fourth term for
President Roosevelt, 1t was indi-
Gated by incomplete returns.
Roosevelt-pledged delegates were
leading in IA contests and candi-
dates pledged to Senator Byrd OF
Virginia were ahead in four. How
ever, under State party rules all
Florida convention votes must be
cast as a unit If two-thirds of the
delegates agree on candidate. The
fourth-term candidates have two
more than the required two-thirds.
In the gubernatorial contest, Mr..
Caldwell's total was 100,864 and Mr..
Green's 98,387, with $50 precincts
still to report out of 1896. State
Senator Ernest Graham of Miami
slipped into third place with 85,718.
Three others trailed far behind.
Representative Cannon, who has
the President on some
major legislation, won denomination
In the sixth district. Represent
atives Price of Jacksonville, Skies
of Crestview and Hendricks of De-
land also won denomination over
opponents.
Attorney General Tom Watson,
supporting a constitutional amend
ment which would abolish organ
lied labor's closed shop practice in
employment, defeated two oppon-
ents, Representative Martin Of
Plant City and State Senator Ernest
H. Householder of Sanford. Re-
turns from 1,243 precincts gave him
l46,838 votes to 73,481 for Mr.. Mar
tin and 1921 for Mr.. Householder.

Plans for an international educa-
ton agency, designed to help re-
build war-wrecked educational sys-
TENS and promote a free exchange
OF ideas among nations, will be laid

stitution for the international edu-
cation agency will deal with the
question Of international press free
dom-the ideal OF a free exchange
OF ideas among all peoples.
At q press conference at which
the State Department announce
ment was made. Mr.. Fulbright said
the Senate and House Foreign
Affairs Committees would have fun
opportunity to investigate the pro-
posed agency, to be known as the
United Nations ONCE for Educa-
tional and Cultural Reconstruction.
He predicted that the proposal
would be favorably received, and
said 1t probably would cost an
amount equal to about 10 per cent
OF the cost Of the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Admins
tration.

The first purpose of the agency
Will be to provide books, pencils and
