G.L K. SMITH IS QUIzzED ON
 AMERICA FIRST

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-Gerald L. K. Smith told a House Com mittee his America First Party never sought to undermine the war effort" adding that his own son was wounded while with Mer- rill's Marauders in Burma.
 Smith was questioned by Chair man Anderson on the campaign expenditures of his committee; for the literature his organization dis tributed dealing with rationing, and on this country's relations with Russia and Britain.
 We didn't oppose the rationing program as a whole" Smith in- sisted We just didn't like Harry Hopkins giving S5,000 parties with five kinds of meat and Secretary Wickard hoarding 500 pounds of butter and 700 pounds of lard in a freezer on his farm while telling Americans they had to pull in their belts"

PRESIDENT BUNNELL
 OF UNIVERSITY HERE

| President Charles E. Bunnell, of | the University of Alaska, arrived in Juneau last night enroute to his home at College.
 President Bunnell has been in Ketchikan for the past several weeks in connection with plans for the opening of university branch there. For some time the citizens of that city have discussed the l formation of a southern branch of the University of Alaska, and the idea is now under serious con- sideration.
 Enrolment at the Fairbanks in- stitution this year is about the same as that of last year, Presi- dent Bunnell reports. Approximate | ly 75 students have entered the school, as against BOT three years ago
 We are facing the same shortage of male students that other col leges throughout America are facing" the President declared. However, accommodations foI more than the registered number could not have been provided, due to the fact that the Army has taken over about two thirds of the floor space. This is gradually being turned back to the University and probably, by next year, the full amount will have been restored.
 President Bunnell plans to re- turn to Fairbanks by air on the first available plane. While here he is a guest at the Gastineau Hotel.

 Anne Birok Is still with us, but we believe that by the time this is off the press, Anne's name won't be Birok any more. Censorship has so far prevented US from disclosing more details, or even finding them out. And then there's our old friend, Maud Paskewich, who left us for Iowa, but is now returned to the night shift.
 We are all happy to see Sandy Lane once more. Sandy returned. but is now assigned to Department 302. Since Edgar Johns took over the trapezes. there Is probably plenty to do in 302 to take over where Edgar left off.
 Gardening is being discussed again, which must be a sign of spring, and we expect that we shall again this year have some more horticultural whoppers from Jack Leatherman and Frank O'Connor. Frank has no illusions that plant ing a few coins in his garden will grow green leaves with numbers on them, but he thinks 1t may get his garden dug for him at leS1 than he would have to pay to get 1t done.
