0PA Fixes Ceiling Prices
For FIashIight Batteries
b. the Associated Press.

B" the Associated Press.
The OPA has set ceiling prices of
10 cents each at retail and 512 cents
wholesale for about 100000 flash
light batteries to be sold as surplus
property.
This action followed by a few
days a congressional investigation
of plans for disposal of these bat
teries. After disclosing they were
to be sold without publicity, the
Senate War Investigation Commit
tee directed that these items and
all other surplus war commodities
must be disposed of openly.
Army officials had expressed be-
lief, the committee was told, that
because there was a temporary
oversupply of small batteries the
public might assume there were
surpluses in other types.
Plans had been made for disposal
of the 1ashlight batteries at cents
each through the Treasury Depart
ment's Procurement Division. The
original cost to the Army was II
cents each.
The surplus resulted, it was said.
from a cutback of requirements in

N eWs Item s From Skagway

SKAGwAY, Alaska Special Cor respondent)- -Skagway now has a radio station. KSKA, which is non- profiting and is owned by military personnel and supported by gener- GUS citizens of the town.
 The station was first conceived by Pfc. Gordon G. Bunnell of the Alaska Communication System who has long been an amateur radio technician. An enlisted man of the Alaska Communication System, "A Darrell s. Harris, had a record playing machine with oscillator to which a microphone was attached for testing purposes. Bunnen read in the Q.S.T., official radio maga- zine, about the use of Carrier Cur rent transmission in the states for civilian defense, fire departments, etc, and, since it was not under the jurisdiction of the FEC, 1t seemed a very practical method of "broadcasting. Bunnell took advan- tage of his radio knowledge to con- struct transmitter which would utilize broadcasting by Carrier Cur rent. The transmitter was tested and worked successfully so was im- mediately put into operation.
 When the station opened, the staff consisted of Bunneli, Harris, Pvt. Glenn E. Churches, formerly of Station KXA, Seattle, Pvt. James G. McDaniel The station operated from o'clock until midnight (which schedule is still adhered to) and it's popularity grew rapidly. The call letters KSKA were cho- sen since SKA are the first three letters of Skagway, and the ire quency used is 908 KC. Shortly, an- other ACS man, Pvt. Grant w. Yerden, joined the staff
 The appreciative public soon made small contributions which helped build Up the record library and the Special Service Division of the Army was interested and were the first ones to put on a remote broad cast. A line was strung from the station to the local gymnasium where Special Service was conduct ing basketball games and these were broadcast. Special Service also was conducting weekly quiz pro- gram from the USO and a remote line was strung to that building Again, the remote broadcasts were successful and plans were made to string remote lines throughout the town. Lines now reach to the gym nasium, USO, Presbyterian Church, and St. Marks Catholic Church.
 One Of the most important things in putting the station over, accord
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-01-24

ing to the personnel, was the SUD- port of the local residents. Since Army personnel is located in Skag- way, the station both serves to en- certain enlisted men as well as the local people. Letters were received from many residents and from the mayor and City Council offering their whole hearted support.
 Growing in popularity, KSKA soon was given a space in the beau- tiful USO building through the generosity of Mrs. Jane Hope Whitney, newly selected USO di- rector, and with the support of the Post Engineer, new and modern istic, soundproof studio and oper- ating room.
 The staff of the station now has each a particular assigned duty. Pfc. Bunnell is chief technician and in charge of installation and main tenance, TIA Harris is Business Manager, Pvt. Yerden, Program Di- rector, Pvt Churches, Chief An- nouncer, and ITS McDaniel, An nouncer. All personnel do announc- ing when on duty at the station. The men donate their time in ad- dition to their regular hours of mil itary duty.
 There are many to whom credit is due in connection with the sup port of the station but special note of appreciation is extended It John A. Lind, Jr., Officer in Charge, Alaska Communication System at Skagway, for his whole hearted support and aid in the op- eration of the station, to Mrs. Whitney for her kind cooperation and also to the American Red Cross, Special Service Division of the US. Army, the Post Engineer and the Post Signal Office.

UsO NEWS ITEMS

Once a month, weather permit ting, trip is made up the White pass Yukon route to visit every Outpost between Skagway and Whitehorse, Mrs. Dahl, Chairman of the USO Management Board, who usually makes the trip with Mrs. Jane Whitney, Director of USO, had gone outside for the holidays and it seemed imperative to make the trip. There were sev- enty large Christmas packages sent to the USO for the Outpost men by the Business and Professional Woman's Club of Montrose, Cali fornia. A group of three GSO mem bers and three men opened these packages and reassembled them to make a hundred and twenty five, so that every man on Outpost duty would have a package. The music room of the USO was closed for two days while this task was under way At the end there were 125 packages labeled with a mans name, as personal as any package one would get from home. They contained excellent items: woolen socks, linen handkerchiefs, cards, toothbrushes, paste, shoeshine kits, sewing kits, books, shaving bowls, dice, small games, in short just the sort of things men in remote spots could best use.
 As a reward for faithful service, two of the most active GSO mem- bers made the trip with Mrs. Whit ney leaving Thursday afternoon, the week before Christmas. Col. Baughn, whose men they were serv- ing, sent them in the 200, the su- per car used for visiting officials. As they arrived at each station, they alighted and delivered. the packages in person and talked with the men. Only half of the posts were visited that evening, because of heavy snow the going was slow. It was midnight before the train reached Bennett where the group enjoyed a supper. Whitehorse was reached at o'clock the next morn ing and after breakfast in the Rail- load mess, the three started back for Skagway. Posts which had been missed the day before, were visited at this time Snow, mountains of it everywhere was falling in huge, si- lent flakes. The rotary blow was in action. Men were working under the most adverse conditions and some hadn't slept in two days. They were tired, dirty, but not dis gruntled. By this time Mrs. Whit ney and her girls were just as dirty as the men werer and they hadn't slept either Wherever they touched they were greeted warmly The men were so pleased with their presents and couldn't quite figure out how individual names had got ten on the gifts. Quantities of good hot food were consumed by the

The public was so shocked by this pro-
posed trade that the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council decided to employ
counsel, at its own expense, and attempt
to enjoin the proceeding.
They hired Messrs. II. L. Maury, Earle
N. Genzberger and A. G. Shone to present
the rights of the taxpayers to the courts.
The case was tried before the Honorable
jeremiah j. Lynch. He speedily, and with
a learned and vigorous opinion, enjOined
the School Board from entering into the
trade.
The County Attorney, who is the off
cial legal representative Of the School
Board, the Honorable Frank j. Roe,
brought suit for $47,5O0OO damages
against the two mining companies in be
half of the School District. Appraisers
were appointed to assess the damages.
These were assessed at $46,20000.
On the 2nd day of September, before
the Honorable T. E. DOwney, Judge pre-
siding, the complaint was amended to
equal exactly the appraisement Of $46,-
10000, and the two mining companies an
nomced, in open Court, that neither one
of them would answer the complaint.
Judgment was Immediately entered for
$46,200.O0, in favor of the School District,
and against the two Companies.
This paper knows that the amount
charged by Messrs. Maury, Genzberger
and Shone to the Trades and Labor COun-
ell for services was only $25000 In all
fairness, the School District should reim-
burse the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Assembly for the attorneys fees paid
their counsel. The work of the Trades
and Labor Council and their attorneys,
has brought into the School Treasury
$46,2OO.OO.

conda Copper Mining Company and the
Butte Copper and Zinc Company from es-
Gaping all payment of damages for the

ground mining; also mineral rights were
to be transferred which the School Board
owned; also all claims for damages were
