 ALASKAN BOOK
CaIdweIIs Nearing End Of Extended Tour After
 First-hand Falts

Arriving in Juneau for a second time, and having just completed an extended automobile trip through out the interior, soft-spoken J. 5. Caldwell has almost finished his five years of research, including travel in Alaska. and is ready to begin his
 informative book on Alaska for people in the States.
 After spending from four to five years in research work on Alaska and writing a series of articles on this topic for the Alaska Sportsman Magazine, which, incidentally, was later compiled into pamphlet form, MT Caldwell decided his research work would make interesting book material and so set about making contacts and preparing for a trip here to gain first hand informa- ton to give people on the outside and inside true picture of life in Alaska"
 MT. Caldwell, accompanied by his lovely wife, started the journey on August II of this year in Paris, Texas, motoring in their car up the coast to Seattle where they shipped their vehicle to Ketchikan. Arriv- ing at the start of their destination, they motored over the roads around the Ketchikan vicinity, and then shipped their car to Valdez, where they travelled over the Richardson Highway, to it's end, as well as the Glenn Highway. On this trip they have travelled through the Matanus- ka Valley, went to Circle Hot Springs and as far north as the Yukon Riv- CT. MT Caldwell has interviewed miners, government officials, U. S. employment officials, professors; in fact everyone whom he thought would give him first hand informa- tion." From here they will again return to Ketchikan where they will spend a few more weeks of re- search.
 Mir. Caldwell feels now he is almost ready to return to his home in Paris, Texas and finish compiling his book, which will be published sometime rext year, before the great influx of tEe thousands of tourists and settlers which he is positive will start journeying here.
 This book, which will be only in- formative material of true facts about Alaska, will be composed of F chapters: General information; Hunting; Fishing; Sight Seeing and Photography; Transportation and Lodging; Homesteading, Farming and Ranching; Trapping and Fur Farming; Prospecting and Mining; Lumbering and Associated Indus tries; Commercial Fishing; Other Alaskan Possibilities and Alaska, Its People and Development. Ten tatiye publishers of the book at present are c. P Putnam's Son in New York. However, there has been no contract as MT. Caldwell is free lance writer and is making this trip at his own expense.

boys lost their lives in 1929. There
met a Jewish family who had
lived in one house for three gen.
erations. In the next house an
Arab family also resided for three
generations. The relationship be-
tween the two had always been
friendly; however, during the riots
the Arab family attacked the
Jews, because they had been ter
rorized into doing so by their
own people. Yet the Jews never
retaliated.
Democracy is the rule of Jew

all races. In Hadassah hospitals
there are no private rooms, for
all patients are treated alike.
The love for the higher culture
by the Jews of Palestine was
demonstrated to me by the chill
dren of Meier Shefah. The even

asked what they wanted for their
hour of recreation. They express

Dear Sir:
believe that everything pos
sible should be done and must
be done to help and save as many
Jews as possible, but not only
Jews, but all people. After the
Atomic Bomb and this war, to try
to separate the problem of the
Jews from those of the rest of
the world in my opinion can't
be done. It's my feeling, and of
course I might be wrong, that
many, many, middle class Jews in
the Zionist movement, rather than
face. the realities of fascism, and
move in the broad stream of peo-
pie to smash it once and for all,
find it much easier to shut their
cys, or say, too bad, to all the
vicious anti-Negro, and anti
semitic forces, and try to appease
both their responsibility, and
their conscience by contributing
money to alleviate the suffering
of Jews, or assisting Jews to set
tie in Palestine. Yes, many of
these same middle class Jews own
slum property where people live
in far from the healthiest condi-
tions, and some of these middle
class Jews turned a pretty penny
selling scrap iron to the japanese
fasciSts; it's all history now, but
there it is I believe that
Jew honorS himself and his peo-
pie more, when he devotes the
bulk of his time and his energy
helping all people. If the Jew
in the South was in the forefront
for Negro rights, he would do a
thousand times more to smash
Gnti-semitism, than donating a
few dollars to Palestine, because
we all know that anti-Negro and
anti-Jewish propaganda 60 hand
in hand.
I have always felt there are

two ways to face the problem OF
anti-semitism. One is destroy
ing the cause of anti-semitiSm, in
other words fighting it tooth and
nail wherever it rears its head,
and the other way, which in my
opinion is the Zionist approach,
is to put the bulk of the emphasis
on alternating the condition of the
Jew, but not putting all his ener-
gy to stopping the disease. That
again, in my opinion springs from
mans class interests. And by
that, l simply mean how much
money has he got. If man is a
Jew, for example, and has stock
in Montgomery Ward, and the
head of Montgomery Ward is a
vicious anti-semite, of course it
is easier to shut your eyes, and
keep clipping coupons. If a Jew,
on the other hand, is working at
Montgomery Ward, he is going to
fight with all the other workers
to make his union grow and to
see that the anti-semitic, anti-un-
ion head of Montgomery Ward .
is retired from his position.
AS a Jew, of course am hor-
rified by the slaughter of Jews
in Europe. I also am Mortified by
the slaughter of Frenchmen, Span
iards, Russians, etc. :. Because the
Jew never suffers alone, he suf-
fers with others. Hitler got away
with slaughtering Spain, and
soon the world war came. If
Hitler could have been stopped
in Spain, think of the millions of
people that could have been saw
ed, end, of course, millions of

feel that what is happening in
Japan and China right now will
determine whether my son and
sons will fight and die in the next
war. If our government policy
is to appease the Japanese million
aires, and allow the millionaire
Hirohito to step into power then
the people of the whole earth
will suffer. AS for Palestine, I
intellectually support every
progressive move of the new Brit
ish Labor Government and feel
that all Jews, as well as all pro-
gressives, should fight for a just
immigration policy for Jews into
Palestine, this policy should be
worked out justly and honestly

You point out that the British
are betrayers of Palestine. But
again you must ask yourself, what

the millionaire Englishman, who
are not better, and no worse than

course Imperialism stinks. It is
the enslavement of the many by
the few. What the British Mil
lionaire did to both the Jews and
the Arabian, they do to the Negro
in Africa, the Indian in India.

does in other parts of the globe

Dear Sir:
AS President Truman's request
to Prime Minister Atlee that he
permit 100000 Jews into Pales-
tine was turned down, I felt the
injustice of it all as keenly as all
the Jews of the world must feel.
Perhaps I feel it a little more
keenly because l saw the beauty
of our work before the war, when
visited Palestine. Why must we,
who have built so much beauty
and have restored an ancient and
desolate land to it's former grand
eur and glory, go begging for
something which is our just right.
It is even harder to understand,
when one contrasts the memory
of Henrietta Sold, as I met her
in Jerusalem, with the Arab
bandit-prisoners that were on the
train with me while l was on
my way back to Meier Shefah.

"Captaln Eddie" the incredible panorama of the amazing life of Q man whose every move makes head lines, is now playing ct tthe Loew- Poli theater. Starring Fred Mac- Murray in the title role. the cast of the hit also boasts Lynn Bari, Charles Dickf6rd. Thomas Mitchell, Lloyd Nolan and James Gleason.
 Ask anyone who Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker is and the answer will be, He's the man who shot down % planes in the last war" His record as American's Ace of Aces may be the most spectacular in his career but RIckenbacker has been many things besides Q fighter pilot, Making a motion picture about Q living person presents problems not encountered in any other type Of story and when lt concerns 6 man whose whole life has been packed with colorful exploits and adven- lures, such e project is fraught with production pitfalls.
 To film the human and humorous ''Horatlo Alger" story involved, among many others, the simple" tasks of reproducing 6 1903 assem- ply line of automobiles, reconstruct ing the i3.year old Eddie's per- petual motion machine from old bluepeints his mother had and making his first "airplane"-a gen. eral tie-up of boxes, wheels and umhreila-from the memory of eye- witnesses to its famous 2.foot night, to say nothing of tuning up Spads and other World War I combat planes and of obtaining 1920 speed cars for sequences of Ricken- packer as one of the worlds great est racing drivers.
 The story, built around a boy sharing the growing pains of the automobile and airplane industries, spins through forty years of the most exciting developments and his- tcrical moments in Americas corn- ing of age.
 For Fred MacMurray, the coveted title role of Captain Eddie" is the most important of his career. Known for tine most part to movie audiences for his outstanding success in film musicals and comedies, MacAdurray is currently being credited with one of the years most outstanding dra- matic performances. Tn her first lead in super-production, lovely Lyun Bari is seen as a Columbus, Ohio girl, who was captivated by the daring young automobile sales man and became Mrs. Rickenbacker.

When their three-room cottage at Hitchcock Lake collapsed Wednes- day night, three persons, one Q sole diers wife, escaped serious injury.
 Mrs. Lawrence LaPage and her two children, Marlene, ', and Dee mise 5, had been living in the cot- tage for thre years after her hus- band, Pvt Harry LaPage, stationed at Camp Gordon, Ga, entered the Army.
 At the time of the collapse the two children were in bed and re- ceived no injuries ct all while Mrs, LaPage, who was in the kitchen, was thrown across the room and show. cred with various kitchen utensils, She received several minor bruises.
 Rotten piles under the cottage, which, according to Mrs. LaPage, showed signs of giving away for some time, were unable to further hold the structure, 1t was believed.
