What Lies Ahead
Cincinnati Enquirer

It seems impossible that any large slice of Am erican opinion believe that the conversion of industry from war to peacetine production is about to begin Yet the of such absurd talk has brought an immediate and emphatic denial from the district manager of the Office of Price Admin istation Production of few civilian items which badly needed and which be made without inter fering with the pursuit of victory has been allowed But there is reason to believe that such program even be seriously considered
 The in Europe has been going well The reason for the success we have met be found in the fact that America has converted all her industry to turning out the goods of To change that program would be suicidal for the greatest de- mands of still lie ahead of us.
 When the real fighting begins-remember that will see the giant reserves have been building the United States hasn't begun to lose men or ma teria in ratio to the losses which lie ahead-then eaten away by the force of battle To conquer those reserves must be replaced faster than they de- stroyed That will mean production at rate even in excess of the rate of recent months To convert any of previous machines, material manpower to unessental civilian supplies would be in the back for boys in the fox holes and the battle lines
 The OPA statement expressed the opinion that there probably will be no output of civilian auto mobiles until after the end of the with Japan. While the in Europe may come to conclusion before the first of 1945, there is hope in the mind of any student of military affairs that Japan be conquered except after years of effort. For us to imagine that effort relax even for instant, before victory is achieved in the Far East as well as in Europe would be mistake of the greatest magnitude.
 We who have been tempted to believe that this world conflict can be won by America without real tough American sacrifice only retardng the day of final victory So far we're sliding along pretty much the old schedule. But before we can return to complete enjoyment of prewar standards living we must go through months in which our standards will be close to those which exist through out Britain today which existed throughout France in the last
 Such living is in the cards We'd do well to face the facts and accept them patriotic people should

DoUGHTON LED REVOLT

First to rebel was 80-year- tenacious "Muley'' Bob Doughton, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, who called a closed door session of his commit tee. The session was vehement and bitter.
 I've always gone along with the President before" said the rugged six-foot North Carolina mountain eer But this time I'm not going along. I realize it would have been desirable to pass bigger revenue bill than this one, but when it has been proved that it is impossible to do so, I don't believe in throwing the bill overheard. That is what the President wants, and I have no alternative but to oppose him
 Thunderous applause from the Republicans. Only one Democrat, Representative John Dingell of Michigan, had the courage to de- fend the President during the name calling melee which followed.
 I'm going to vote to support the President" announced Dingell in fighting tones. I'm getting sick and tired of these everlasting raids on the Social Security tax. I don't give continental what the rest of you do, but I'm going to fight against overriding the veto"
 Representative Jere Cooper of Tennessee also stood with the Presi- dent-but silently.
 It was significant that when Chairman Doughton called second secret session of the Ways and Means Committee. both Cooper and Dingell were absent. one of them

ANVIL CHORUS SMELLS

At the second session, Democratic Representative Willis Robertson of Virginia led the anvil chorus, spur red on by leading questions from COPS Roy Woodruff of Michigan. Robertson charged the President with trampling on Constitutional rights.
 Its the function ot Congress, not the Executive to assess the taxes" he stormed. There has been a lot of trifling with the Con- stitution by the Administration, but no more shocking example than the Presidents veto of this tax bill
 Doughton also put in some fol- low-up cracks, proclaiming that, though he was eighty years old, he had plenty of fight in him yet, and that the Presidents veto was the

LAY THE GROUNDWORK

Dr. Ira N. Gabrelson Director of the Fish and Wildfe Service, is of the opinion that the area in Southeast Alaska has the greatest possibilities of any outdoor recreation area Coming from this source it is an opinion which is highly respected.
 The only trouble is, he pointed out. everything is here the way of scenery waters full of game fish and other more or less natural advantages-but lack ing cheap transportation lodges and cabin resorts which can be made available to those with moderate incomes and moderate vacation budgets
 Speaking from the point of view of the pre-war tourist Gabrelson said that vacationers in this bygone era got nice boat ride and the waterfronts of the towns they passed through but little else.
 This is probably all too true.
 Here in Juneau have the advantage of having fine road which leads to coastal area which is unsurpassed in beauty and it's waters offer the finest game fishing of any. However, few tourists a vacation jaunt get little out of this potential recreation area than glimpse at the glacier and a glimpse at the water and the beaches.
 The construction of large, not fancy, lodge with smaller cabins adjacent at any of the beautiful harbors and bays inlets "out the road" would do much toward perpetuating the tourist trade for this And not only that but such place would offer much And there many of these who cannot be among the fortunates who own their own cabins or summer homes the Glacier Highway.

 Again, just few days before the veto message was sent to Congress, the President called in Bark)ey and Speaker Raypurn and let them read the first draft of the message. Both were furious, but the Senate leader gave no hint of resig,.!ng his post, even though he noted the sharply worded tone of the message
 However, Barkley did tell Senate friends that the President could get no help from him in sustaining the veto, while Speaker RaybiGu quietly spread word that he wouldn't be offended if the veto was over ridden. This sub-rosa re- volt spread like wildfire, long before the veto message actually reached Congress

 Only one Administration sup porter, Aime J. Forand of Rhode Island, was present. When finally given a chance to speak, he con- fessed under the daggerlike stares of his colleagues, that he hadn't made up his mind what to do.
 For everyone else present, good time was had by all Never before had they had such an opportunity to get off their chests the gripes of twelve long years against the man who led them to victory but whom most of them do not like except as a means of keeping seniority sine cures on committees.
