Detroit Tiger outfielder and first
baseman confided:
II would like to manage a big
league club, and I know can ham

Greenberg added, however, he'd
like to try his hand at playing first.

RED GROSS RALLY GOES
 OVER BIG

The Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel was filled at last nights big Red Cross rally, which was held in honor of Red Cross workers and the residents of Gastineau Channel rather than to solicit funds.
 The belief was expressed by sev- eral of the speakers that Channel residents do not need to have the Red Cross "sold" to them, and they cited the fact that no drive has yet failed to attain it's quota They said it was only matter of cooperation between the Red Cross workers and the general public, and were optimistic about both do- ing their share in this drive.
 The program, arranged by E. L. Keithahn, was ably conducted by Zach Gordon of the USO. Major Carl Scheibner gave an interesting talk, followed by Gov. Ernest Gruening, and there were several reels of Alaskan movies shown, which were enjoyed. Mrs. Lillian Uggen "wowed the house as she always does, with several songs in her own inimitable way, and there was ommunity singing, with George Schmidt leading.

 Yesterday, March 2, was the fortieth day of the current Legls- lative session, and the last day or which new measures could be ln- troduced in either house without first obtaining suspension Of the r,lles-which action requires a two- thirds vote to carry.
 Pointedly, the most far-reachine measure of all those introduced yesterday in the Senate was Senate Bill No. ST, by Senator N. R Walker. It would provide for a referendum to the voters of the Territory for an expression Of then desires, for or against a blanket primary election ballot and or direct election of national commit teemen of political parties. It was referred to the Elections Commit tee.

to compel motorists to keep their

This, by itself, will not necessarily
reduce the number of accidents.
Only careful driving will cut the
fearful toll of injury and death on

The question seems to revolve
itself into the best method Of in
surfing careful driving. We think
that this can be best accomplished
by rigid enforcement of all traffic
regulations. Certainly, every driver
would be impressed with the neces-
sity of obeying traffic rules and
regulations if he were reasonably

Take Care Of The
Disabled

JIMMY WILSON, Private First
Class, has good reason to appre-
ciate the generosity of Americans
but, on the other hand, Americans
have good reason to appreciate the
sacrifice that he made for his coun-
try.
The soldier lost both legs and
both arms in a plane crash and
through newspaper publicity re-
ceived gifts aggregating more than
$4,000. This was a splendid ex-
hibition of concern on the part of
The people of the country but that
concern should be extended to all
men and women who were wound
cd in the wars that have ended.
Private Wilson, according to
press dispatches, in the midst of
his good fortune, thinks of an
other soldier, now his roommate in
the hospital. He asks that the
proceeds from articles to be auc-
toned off be given to another sol
der who lost both legs and his
right arm.
The pation faces a serious re-
sponsibility in relation to it's dis
abled veterans and the public
should not be misled by the good
fortune that comes to individual
soldiers who profit by the directed
generosity of many citizens. So
far as possible, the nation should
take care of its disabled veterans
IN generous fashion, putting theii
welfare above that of veterans un.

That isn't such far-fetched

of "the biggest business in the

Of the hardest jobs in the govern

it sounds almost too good to be
true.
We had been talking about the
details of the reorganization of
the agency which is now going on

infinitely familiar. Then / asked
him what it was, if anything, in
his military training and experi-
ence that he could use in his pres
ent position.
He said that he thought it was
the same with all jobs such as
this. And here is the theory on
which he works:
First, build your organization
on functional lines. Second, get
the right man to head up each
function. Third, give him full re-
sponsibility to act on his own au-
thority."
