KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Oct. B. - SpeciaD - According to present plans, the U. s. Coast Guard Auxiliary will not be dis enrolled at the conclusion of the war"
 This statement was issued re- gently by Captain J. P. Murray, acting District Coast Guard Off cer, correcting an erroneous re- port recently released to the press.
 The announcement that the Auxiliary would cease to function at the wars end was the result of a misinterpreted statement pub lished following a two-day dis trict conference of flotilla rep resentatives in Ketchikan.

NORTH-SOUTH 1914 STYLE

AN ALEUTIAN BASE, Oct. 23. - Saturday inspections have resulted in many novel explana- tions, and the Aleut, the soldier daily newspaper on this post, has recenly uncovered new one.
 It seems that chance had plac- ed together, in the same quonset hut on this island, four GI's from Michigan and an equal number reared in the South, and they were apparently living together in perfect harmony. At least there had been no reports of pitched battles or re-enactment of the battle of Bull Run.
 Just before the battery com- mander finished his regular Sat urday inspection of the hut, he noticed a white line painted down the center of the floor. Turning to the sergeant in charge, he re- marked:
 Well, sergeant, if I'm to con- gratulate you on the condition of your quarters this morning, I'll have to hear a plausible explana- tion of the white line that is painted on the floor"
 The sergeant, a jolly, rotund true gentleman of the south was quick to reply:
 "Well, you all see, suh, ever since those bloomin' yankies done moved in hyar with us, we all had been inclined to have a few trifles. In order to keep ordah in this hut we had to make boun- dary line. That line you all see, suh, is the Mason-Dixon line"

the remaining months of this year with the peak coming in October.
 This, of course, will mean that American in dustry. must hit a gait un-
 recedented in history and that all available man. power be used.
 To quote Gen. Somer- we'll:
 This is the final round. There isn't any doubt about that, and if you can give these fighting forces what they need, all the heavy artillery they need, all the trucks they need to haul the ammunition' if you give Macarthur the tents he needs so he can take care of his men without
 topping to build shelters, they'll push along fast enough and everybody is perfectly willing to do it" -(Juneau Empire).

PRODUCTION LAGS

According to It. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, chief of the Army Service For ces, shortages of essential materials on the battlefield are lengthening the war because production on the home front has failed this year to meet the demand.
 One general had to call off 100 bombing missions because he didn't have the right type of bombs.
 Another commander had to abandon $500 trucks because he couldn't get parts needed for mainte- nance.
 On the whole, according to Somervell, the Army is in fine shape with respect to supplies. He might have added that compared to the armies of the Axis. ours is in excellent shape. But the Army is short in about 320 critical items. Produc- tion expected during the first part of this year fail ed to materialize. As a re- suit, production for the second half will have to be expanded further than planned. Hence the recent new regulations in the manpoWer field.
 Deliveries during the first six months of this year averaged only a tenth of one percent more than the 1943 average, and deliver ies during this June were 2.5 percent below the 1943 average. To take up the slack and provide the ma- teriel for the final blows in Europe, production must be stepped up to where it will be 14.5 percent above the 1943 average during

The villain in the piece seems to
be Santa Claus. The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, without hav-

out . favorable report on nominal

Senator Connally was in tough

House Sill Must Act
|0n I Of fS D. c. Bills
Passed by Senate
BY DON 3. WARREN.

The record-breaking speed with
which the Senate, late yesterday
passed Is District measures within
is minutes will be followed by
prompt consideration on the louise
side OF seven of them still requiring
action there. Chairman Randolph Of
the House District Committee prom
ised today.
Eleven Of the bills were adopted
by the Senate in the same form
in which they came from the House
and now 60 to the White House for
signature into law, but the more
important measures are among those
still needing House action as to the
whole subject or amendments.
One of the seven awaiting House
action is the bill of Chairman Bilbo
of the Senate District Committee to
create q commission OF nine men,
bers to make study and report and
to have plans drawn for q proposed
self -liquidating Washington ma
tional memorial stadium as q post
war project. House committees
have been considering other stadium
bills, to authorize = definite project,
but there is little hope now of ac-
ton at this session, and attention Is
directed to the Bilbo commission
measure.
Three Other Measures.
Three others, already passed by
the House but amended In the SEN
ate, are expected to be called up
for action on District day in the
House Monday. They are the meas
ure to expand the administrative
powers of the District Commission
ers, given q minor addition yester-
day on the Senate floor; to revamp
the financial setup of the District
Boxing Commission, amended in the
Senate as to pay OF civilian box
Ing commissioners, gate tax and
financial reserve; and to subject
Government restaurants to Health
Department sanitary inspection and
regulation. amended by the Senate
to exempt the House and Senate
restaurants at the Capitol.
Thesthree others Of the 18 passed
by the Senate but shunted to the
House are those to apply to the
District the uniform stock transfer
law already adopted by 80 States,
which has been approved by the
House District Committee and is to
be offered for House passage Mon
day; to set up formal system Of
voluntary apprenticeship In the
District, on which there has been
no House action: and to permit the
Women's Christian Association to
dissolve and turn Its property over
to the Phyllis Wheatley YWCA.
On the latter measure, action was
deferred this week by the House
District Committee because spokes-
men for 20 woman boarders in the
Thirteenth street home OF the asso-
citation protested impending evic-
ton. While hoping legislative sc-
ton might be cleared next week,

TedCplOfl. ~"sN 'sV'
The views of the new Undersec-
retary, Joseph C. Grew-as well as
his long record-are well known
which accounts for the disposition
of many Senators to excuse him
from public testimony. He has re-
vesled his understanding of the
forces that determine japanese
policy and behavior, his knowledge
of their capacity to make war and
their capacity to make peace. He is
acceptable to the Senate.
The big question mark Is raised
against Will L. Clayton, nominated
for the assistant secretaryship deal
ing with economic affairs. Opposi-
ton has been voiced by men who
speak for labor and by those gen.
orally called liberals. 1t Is remem-
bered, among other things. that Mr..
Clayton was a member of the Lib
erty League during the days when
that Du Pont foundation was bat
Ting the New Deal. Certainly Mr.
Clayton's views should be given to
the public.
In his behalf, it Is said that when
his opinions are known it will be
seen that the President has named
a man well equipped to carry out a
liberal international trade policy.
That he is an expert in this field
of business is well known, it being
said that he is one of the biggest,
II not the biggest, of American ex-
porters. He knows the techniques
of trade In all the countries of
the seven seas. What is not so
well known, according to his
friends, is that he comes close tc
being an old-fashioned free trader
In his philosophy. Carrying or
Cordell Hull's reciprocal trade
. agreement program, it is said, is
something he would and could dc
without coaching. 1t is said that he
is on record in speeches before busi-
ness organizations, speeches OF the
kind seldom read by the public, in
advocacy of bringing trade barriers
down in every direction.
II we are to provide employment
for 10000, 900 persons, as suggested
by the Presidents Chicago speech,
MI. Clayton is quoted as saying we
must be prepared to accept imports
of as much as 8 or 10 billion dollars
a year; if we are to have a great
market for our goods abroad, with
the work that that will provide at
home, We must offer market for
the industries OF foreign countries
In this 1t would seem that Mr.. Clay
ton has philosophy no different
from that of the CIO.
Poet Faces Hostility.
OF the others, the grandson OF
John D. Rockefeller curiously
enough appears likely to arouse less
hostility than does Archibald Mac
Leish, the peoples poet-the people
poet in the sense that his poetry
pleads the hopes and needs Of the
people, not in the sense that the
people understand him and have
made him their favorite poet. II
will be surprising II Mr.. MacLeish
doesn't have the experience, painful
to any author, of being asked to
interpret some Of his famous verses
