November in Washington and that issue of the Post was received here only this week. We have not yet seen the full text of Ickes' letter
 The Secretary ridiculed any idea that the present unsettled land policy as result of these aboriginal rights hearings would discourage any industrial devel opnent of Alaska This much know from the report yesterday
 We fail to see anything funny about it. It should be apparent that any potential investor is bound to be influenced by what these hearings may or may not mean In other words, starting a new business in Alaska at any time is risk. But at present it is just plain impossible In the first place, if your venture requires land, whom you going to deal with? The Department of Agriculture which ad- ministers to our forests? The Department of the Interior which controls about 90 percent of the land in Alaska? The Indians who may be able to establish prior rights to the land at any time?
 Perhaps even established business men sn Alaska are beginning to wonder if what they have is really their own at this time. If the Indians are able to establish prior rights to large tracts of land and water areas anywhere in Southeast Alaska, there is certainly nothing to keep them from gaining owner ship of the city of Juneau which they claim After all the city of Juneau is nothing but corporation.
 Ickes says the hearings are "an attempt to find out what lands do belong to the Indians and Eskimos of Alaska" We do not believe the answer will be found in our lifetime.
 We do know that at this time it is unfortunate that such a problem should be forced upon Alaska by the Interior Department There is no question but what further development is stalled until the question is settled

times Governor of North Dakota he is the first Democratic Senator ever elected from that state.
 Brien McMahon of Connecticut Democrat, replaces isolationist Sen- ator Danaher, Republican. McMa- hon knows the Government from A to z, trained in the Justice De- partment as Assistant Attorney General, prosecuted the Harlan County coal murders, was probably the first man since the Civil War to jail any one for practicing slav- cry. He convicted an Arkansas sheriff for using Negro prisoners as his personal slaves.
 Clyde Hoey of North Carolina Democrat, replaces isolationist Sen ator Bob Reynolds. Addicted to wing collars, swallow-tailed coats and old-fashioned oratory, Hoey comes to the Senate after serving in Woodrow Wilson's last Congress later becoming Governor of North Carolina Brother-in-laW of ex-Governor Max Gardner, he and Max frequently tangle in the court room, call each other all sorts o1 names before the jury, walk out of court arm in arm. s
 Gov. Olin Johnston of South Carolina, Democrat, replaces the famous Cotton Ed Smith who except on race questions, usually voted more Republican than Demo- cratic. In the replacement of Smith of South Carolina and Reynolds of North Carolina, though they are Democrats, Roosevelt actually gains two new Senators, since he could depend on neither of the present incumbents Johnston, twice Governor of South Carolina, wa born in a mill town, came up th' hard way as "a textile worker, i sympathetic with labor, will be Roosevelt supporter on everything except Federal anti-lynching bill poll taxes, and the price of cotton

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IS
 Adverse influences are active to- day. It is forbidding for any in itiative and may be unprofitable to merchants and manufacturers. HEART AND HOME; Whatever is constructive should benefit to- day. The stars presage' for women of all ages work outside the home. In America the leisure class will shrink each year and social life will change definitely, astrologers prophecy.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Shopkeep- CTS and manufacturers with little capital will profit in the winter months. Government plans to pro tect the small businessman will be partially successful The trend, however, will be toward employ ment with the great, expanding corporations.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Education will focus more and more attention as necessary adjustments following the war will be widely discussed. Utilitarian college courses will ex- tend in scope but will not com pletely replace the old academic standards of learning.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Stubborn and desperate conflict will mark the Pacific war, despite the splendid attainments of United Nations air forces. From now until victory there will be times of end-of- -the-war optimism fol- lowed by impatience at protracted fighting.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of gain in income and progress in business or war service. ,
 Children born on this day should be fortunate in their careers but may be unlucky in managing their financial resources.

A good Governor of Iowa, Hickenlooper has the reputation of being a fair fighter Senators who preside over the Senate will be grateful that they merely recognize The Senator from Iowa." won't have to call out his name.
 In addition to the above list, some of the Presidents staunchest past supporters on foreign policy, such as Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, are back on the job for another six years. So If the Presi- dent doesn't write a peace that will stick, it will be his own fault. His Senate will not only cooperate, but probably be a bit ahead of him.

When the blow fell, it fell at the

others depended, instead of at the outer
fringe where the enemy was ready for

from the dispatches-an impression
which may prove unjustif1ed when more

Inc pattern OF our offensive
operations in the South Pacific
in New Guinea and New Britain in
the direction of Rabaul and in the
Gilbert and Marshall Islands several
hundred miles northeast of Rabaul
lis the pattern of a giant pincers
movement taking shape against
Japan's great sea and air base at
Truk.
Situated roughly 800 miles directly
north of Rabaul and similar dis
tance west of the Marshalls, Truk
has been pretty much of a mystery
ever since the end of the First World
War when it was inundated to Japan
along with the Carolines Archipel-
ago and other former German pos
sessions in the Pacific. Since then,
it has been shrouded in secrecy, but
enough information has leaked out
to expose the fact that the japanese,
in violation of their treaty obliga-
tionS, have converted it into
fortress outpost comparable to our
own Pearl Harbor, and in some
respects perhaps even stronger.
In doing this, the Japanese have
found nature their ally. For Truk,
an island group made up of more
than 200 small volcanic formations,
is ringed in by a guardian reef-a
veritable rampant of coral - that
runs triangularly around the base
for a distance of about 120 miles.
Inside this wall, which is capable of
ripping the bottom out of almost any
ship is vast lagoon. 1t is in this
lagoon, quiet and deep and big
enough to accommodate at least the
entire Japanese Navy, that the
enemy has built his base, complete
with long-range guns to ward of
surface attack, antiaircraft bat
teries, underground plane hangers,
great docks. foundries and other
facilities to service the biggest fleet
and air units.
To smash and seize this fortress
will require all the might and in
genuity our forces can bring to bear.
To realize this we have only to keep
in mind the coral rampant that sur
rounds it. For short of meeting and
inflicting a decisive defeat on Japa-
nese sea and air power on the ap-
proaches outside, we shall probably
have to battle our way in, and there
are only five wide entrances, the
other breaks in the reef appearing
to be too narrow to permit the in
gress of big waves of invaders. It
need hardly be added that in such
situation, with only five major gates
to watch, the defenders enjoy
extraordinary advantages.
II this war has proved anything.

IN the contacts between our nlgner au-
thorities, both military and civil. and
the British have been reported Differ
ences of opinion, of course, are unavoid-
able and right. Differences and dis
cussion are the way to arrive at true
agreement The danger is that these
differences may settle into something
more serious and rift develop.
Those who have noted the symptoms
are not apprehensive lest they affect
the conduct of the war. That will not
be affected. There cooperation is more
complete, as Mr.. Churchill once said,
than ever before among the Allies. And
it will continue so until the end. There
need be no concern about that. 1t is
not the effect on the war but the effect
on peace that those aware OF the feel
ing between individuals and the sort
of undercover talk that is current are
disturbed about. These reiterate as axi-
omatic that no permanent peace is pos
sible except through British and Ameri-
can cooperation.

Stain certainly has not forgotten the
Tuchachewsky affair of only seven
years ago. A conspiracy of generals is
possible-but much less likely of sue

Also there is a difference whether
you have one army and concentrate all

Is an Aslatic country, with a long from
tier on China and an immediate inter-
est in all that happens in the Far
East. The Soviet Ukraine is in Europe
The Caucasian republics are in the
Middle East.
Thus, many economic and cultural ties
are possible for these three republics
which are not of interest to the whole
OF the Soviet Union. Had the Soviet
Union any fear that the internal CO.
hesion was weak, these various repub-
ncs might be centrifugally attracted.
But since there is no such fear they
can nope Tor the opposite-namely that
the nearby states in both Europe and
ASIA Will be centripetually attracted.

Juvenile DeIinquency

Representative D'Alesandro and
other members of the juvenile de-
hnquency subcommittee of the
House are to be commended for
their desire to keep the current in
quiry into problems of Washingtons
wayward youth on a sensible, prac-
tlcal plane. This gives character to
a study which otherwise would be
lacking. For this problem seems by
It's nature to invite emotional flights
into dramatic but Improbable fields
of fancy.
That there is a serious problem
here is indicated by police reports
that during the past fiscal year
arrests of minors totaled more than
1000. But to conclude that there
have been startling increases in
juvenile crime without balancing
these figures against the tremendous
increase in population and other
factors would give a false picture.
To overemphasize such items as
the misadventures of the few moth
ers who keep their infants late at
night in beer parlors, serves no USE
full purpose as to the general prob
lem, and no doubt the Dale
sandro subcommittee realizes this.
The Juvenile Court judge, Miss
Bentley, and the Scout executive,
MIR. Drake, among others, have
emphasized that one of the greatest
needs is larger stats of trained
personnel for Government and pri-
vate agencies dealing with children.
Recreation officials have disclosed
the lack of facilities, personnel and
progress and, on the Senate side,
new light is being shed on the effects
Of alley dwellings and other sub
standard housing, accentuated now
by wartime excitements and nerve
tensions.
The processes of getting added
personnel with expanded, supervised
and wholesome recreation, better
housing and more effective co-ordi-
nation of community efforts are

have suggested, but they are neces-
sary.

1t is during this interval that the de.

the present instance. by the device of
landing troops on islets adjacent to

hWaJaleln islands, and using land
oased artillery from these preliminary
positions to support the landing forces.
These guns could fire with great ac-

support than would be possible from
ships or any other aircraft than dive
bombers.
