TERRITORIAL GUARD

The new Territorial budget which members of the Territorial Legislature will take up when they meet later this month contains request for S100400 for the Alaska Territorial Guard, approximately $30O00 over the amount appropriated for the last biennium.
 Two years ago the Legislature appropriated 9400 for the Guard and of September 30, 1944 $45,254 of that amount still had not been used by the organization.
 While the layman is in no position to determine whether or not another $100000 should be spent the Guard during the next two years, believe it would be wise obtain from the military and naval commanders in Alaska statements concerning the need for an expanded home guard organization.
 Budget requests for the next two years exceed anticipated by $1655576 It is doubtful that during the present period of high Federal taxation that Territorial taxes be raised. So there will have to be some whiting somewhere along the line If the Territorial Legislature fit to appro priate this year for the Guard then this will probably be done at the expense of cutting down appropriations for regular agencies.
 It may be that military authorities still need for such organization n Alaska.
 The last year however, has seen the disappear

Prize Winners
(Washington Post

The preatness that historical circumstances have suddenly thrust upon the United States was well
 illustrated the other day in New York where, for the first time since their institution, the award of the Nobel prizes took place American soil Five Of the prize winners Americans, and the sixth was a Dane now resident in this country. The literary prize had previously been awarded to another Dane Johannes Jensen.
 This present American preeminence in scientific activity comes to us principally by default. The climate of Europe these past half dozen years and more has certainly not been proptous to scientific or intellectual achievement. Perhaps the same might be said of Asia which claim at least one Nobel prize winner Tagore of India. It will probably be long before either of these parts of the world return that condition of social stability and tranquility which most conducive to great scientific accomplish ment. This leaves the United States with tremen- dous opportunity for scientific leadership and a tremendous responsibility in the exercise of it.
 Today however, Americans have rather less faith than they had a few decades ago that science, of itself will be able to chart the way of salvation They have grown that the discoveries of scientists can be applied to destructive ends as easily as to benignant ends. This being so it is perhaps not strange that of the speakers at the prze-award ceremonies should have sounded slightly defensive or at any rate somewhat less self-sufficent note than formerly President Dodds of Princeton said that while it is the duty of both scholars and sclentstS
 to apply scientific methodology 1t is also ther duty recognize their moral and social responsibility to history" Dr. Herbert Gasser, cowlnner with pr Joseph Erlanger of the prize in medicine observed in complicated metaphor that the strands from other domains of human striving" must be woven with the threads provided by the comradeship of science, y, if there is to be strong fabric of human motive to give stability to the peace Bur Dr. Henrik Dam the Danish winner of the chemistry prize, thought that the scientific principles which have worked so well
 in medicine and industry could be successfully applied to international relations and to the distribution of wealth.
 The Nobel Peace Prize which in former and more hopeful days attracted the greatest attention of all, has not been awarded since 1939 The roster of previous peace prize winners melancholy testimony to high intentions and lost aspirations The nations whose representatives have been most often honored for their services to peace among the nations which are now most bitterly embattled, namely, the United States, Britain France, and Germany

pEws FINANCE MISSOURI

Fair-minded Congressmen more and more are demanding revision of the Corrupt Practices Act as a result Of certain delft operations revealed in the recent election cam paign. They say that the Corrupt Practices Act, supposed to clean up elections, now counts for about as much as the Volstead Act.
 In St. Louis, for instance, it has now developed that the powerful Pew family of Philadelphia handed out healthy contributions to finance not only the Republican State Committee of Missouri, but also the Republican City Committee of St. Louis
 Philadelphia is long way from Missouri, but Joe Pew of the Sun Shipbuilding Company and his brother, J. Howard Pew, head of Sun Oil, together with Mary Ethel Pew, an obliging relative who knows nothing about politics, each plunked in S1 1,000 to both the COP city and state campaigns, making a total of $6,000 from the Pennsyl- yania Pews to Missouri politics.
 In addition. the COP organiza- tion in Missouri got S2,000 con- tribution from the Republican Fin ance Committee of Ohio which seemed to be plentifully supplied with cash.
 Then Joe Pew also paid for sev- eral million postcards printed by the Government Printing Office featuring a speech by Congressman Busbey of Illinois which were franked all over the country. Pew's man Friday. Emil Hurja, publisher of the Pew-owned Pathfinder

BYRNEs GETS MILITARY HELP

Ever since he became war mob ilizer, Assistant President James Byrnes has had the help of two trusted South Carolina friends, his former law partner, Donald Russell, and an old newspaper friend, Walter Brown. Russell and Brown are co-owners of radio station WSPA in Spartanburg, but ever since the war they have remained in Washington to help Justice Byrnes.
 Last fall, however, when Byrnes decided to retire, Russell joined the U. s. Army, was commissioned major and transferred to England. Later Roosevelt persuaded Byrnes to remain longer as war mobilizer, so the ex-Justice told the War De- partment that he wanted his right hand man, Donald Russell back again.

HOROSCOPE E "The stars incline
 bat do not cOmpeW
FRIDAY, JANUARY 5

Adverse aspects seem to rule to- day which may be depressing to sensitive persons. It is not a fav- orable date for launching new pro jects.
 HEART AND HOME There is a sign that seems to warn Americans that they have enjoyed too many luxuries through the war period and must expect something like real sacrifice before victory is fin- ally achieved.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Impera- tive need of heroic treatment Of black market operations is to be recognized this month, when some incident may emphasize the spread of interruptions trade. Buyers as well as sellers of commodities will be punished, it is predicted, under a severe new law.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Problems concerning recreation and enter tainment will be of wide concern at this time. The stars indicate a trend toward improvement in the standard of amusement. Orchestras that provide classical programs will gain popularity and there will be wide demand for good music as a part of the national reconstruction movement.
 INTERNATIONAL A F F AIR S: For Europe, the most terrible winter in history will reach its peak of agony at this time. Des- perate Germany will continue to put hope in intrigue and misrepre- sentation after it's last secret Wea- pon has proved useless to prevent absolute defeat.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of varied experiences. It will be well to guard emotions. Nasty love affairs should i be avoided.
 Children born On this day prob ably will be fortunate throughout their careers. They may be fre- quently involved in love affairs.
