Miss Wilma Zimmerman, (picture able) of Tacoma, Wash, National Membership Chairman of the Na- tional Federation of Business. and Professional Women's Clubs, will leave this week on field service trip to Alaska to form a territorial organization and to introduce the Fsderation's new program.
 Appointed last summer to the National Chairmanship, Miss zim- merman was formerly Washington State President and member of the Membership Expansion Committee which introduced new methods for expanding and stabilizing member ship. Membership of the National Federation has increased LOGO in the past year, making the total membership 91, ,000 at the present time.
 Miss Zimmerman, who is an in- structor of speech and drama at the Lincoln High School in Tacoma, will visit existing Business and Pro- leesional Women's Clubs in Juneau and Ketchikan to help orient plans and to give the Alaskan Federation members news of the National Fed cration's Executive Committee and National Committee Chairmen meet ing held recently in New York.
 This will be Miss zimmerman's second trip to Alaska. In l941 she visited clubs in Juneau and Ketch- ikan to report on the National Fed eration's convention in Los Angeles.
 Miss Zimmerman will meet with the presidents of the existing Busi- ness and Professional Women's Clubs in Juneau to discuss the formation of a territorial organization, which will be similar to State Federations. She will take information and ma terial from the National Headquar- ters in New York to the clubs. Her trip will take her to Seward and Fairbanks where she hopes to stimu- late enough interest to creat new clubs in both places.
 Active in the Washington State Federation of Business and Profess sional Womens Clubs for several years, Miss Zimmerman also will visit Anchorage in hopes of affiliat- ing the club there with the National Federation. The Anchorage Club, which was formed in 1941, has ap- piled for affiliation with the Nation- al Federation of Business and Pro- fcssional Women's Clubs

ATOMIC BOMB


 According to what gathers from preliminary reports concerning the destruction wrought by Am ericas new atomic bomb if there is another war after this one it will be the last for the terrible and awesome results evidently capable of destroy ing entire cities and nations.
 One bomb, dropped the Japanese city Of Hiroshima, wiped 60 percent of that city of more than 300000 inhabitants from the face of the earth The city was six and ninetenhs square miles in area Four and one-tenth square miles were destroyed in one blow And we must remember that this is only the first of such bombs When the TINT. bomb was first developed few dreamed that the day would come when two-ton blockbusers would be used in l0O0-plane raids.
 One thing seems certain. Unless Japan can counter with the same type of weapon-and soon Japan will be forced to capitulate much sooner than many of expect Japan should be able to judge for herself what may from weapon which is equal in destructive force 10000 tons of dynamite Am erican propaganda broadcasts are keeping the enemy

"The Man" Bilbo also threw in his two-cents' worth on reconversion.
 T am not politician" he opined, but from a practical standpoint, we Democrats had better do something damn quick or the Japanese war will end and we'll have five or ten million people looking for jobs. There will be riotous conditions throughout the country and when we come back here for the next Congress, there won't be enough Democrats around for our own funerals. We've got to do something damn quick to provide 60,000,000 jobs
 Bilbo, however, couldn't accept all the 12-point program. Raising the minimum wage level was too much for him. This caused Senator Pepper of Florida to remark jok- ingly that it wasn't proposed to raise farm wages Mississippi being largely an agricultural state.)
 Don't think that I'm dumb" shot back the Gentleman from Mississippi You raise industrial wages and you won't get anyone to stay on the farm. I can't grow

Declining Incomes
(NeW York Tines)


 Large cutbacks in production have already resulted in a decline in consumers purchasing power decline which will become much larger in the months ahead It is important that we evauate these declines in their proper perspective. The wartime pressure for price increases has arisen fundamentally from the large expansion of consumer purchasing power financed in part by bank credit. Because of wartime needs it has not been possible to expand civilian supplies to meet this demand Not until con- sumer incomes and civilian supplies come back into balance will there be significant abatement of the pressure for price It is rather paradoxica therefore to find Judge Fred M. Vnson stating that in the immediate future "our task continues to be one of holding the line without, however, permitting defationary drop in purchasing power
 It must be emphasized that not all declines in purchasing power will be deflationary. Clearly, if purchasing power is eliminated the pressure prices will be reduced and the task of holding the line will be considerably simpified Such a decrease is not properly described as deflationary. If, on the other hand measures are adopted to maintain the wartime volume of purchasing power then it follows that the problem of holding the line will continue to be difficult
 Some groups insisting that the highly ab- normal purchasing power situation during the war must be substantially maintained by permitting up ward adjustments which will offset factors making for reduction In other words, we have had an abnormal situation long that some people are beginning to believe that this is the normal one and that any change would be misfortune. drop in consumer purchasing power however would be a healthy, not unhealthy development particularly to the extent that such a decline represented a reduction in the amount of credit created by the banking system There is merit in having large number of pieces of paper (noney), all of which cannot be converted into goods at the existing price level.
 Of course, if purchasing power were to fall too far because of unduly large reduction in incomes then downward spiral might be inaugurated. But not all reductions would have this effect. It is mistake therefore to label all decreases in incomes as defationary, particularly so long as the result will wipe out the present dangerous excess. Such practice can only confuse the public mind and lead to the adoption of ill-advised policies.

ARMY, NAVY MODELLING

New York's Senator Mead, who succeeded Truman as Chairman of the Senate War Investigating Com mittee, remarked:
 Its about time this country be- gan to shift from a two-war econ omy to a one-War economy. The Army and Navy have got to stop sitting on billions of dollars worth of materials they don't need and which industry does need.
 Not only materials" continued Mead. They've got to release man. power we need in the coal mines, the steel mills, the railroads. We can't keep our civilian economy going. At least the Army and Navy can release 100000 key men for these industries. We've got to speed up for the reconversion pro- cess.

Poor Digestion? Gn :.
 headachy? DO Sour or Upset? DO Tired-ListIess? DO

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day. Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails. your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly - often in as little as 30 minutes. And. you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract ndigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only l0t and 25s.

under a constant psychological bombardment
 At present the Japanese leaders are attempting to calm the populace by speaking of working out way to counteract the effect of the bomb, but this must be a false assurance.
 Some speculate that if two-thirds of the city of Hiroshima was destroyed by one bomb the concusson must have killed almost every nhabtant of the city The city of Tokyo is said to have been spared the first attack in order to give the Japanese chance to view a convincing demonstration and capitulate before it is too late.

NATIONAL ISSUES

Although astrology indicates an amazing growth of political and economic power among women, they will be secretly opposed by men. In making important appointments men will choose weak women, the seers prognosticate, but the stars seem to indicate that eventually nothing can prevent equal rights and even dominance.

I2-POINT PROGRAM

I2-POINT PROGRAM
 The federal action" proposed by Senators Kilgore and Pepper was outlined to the other Is Senators immediately after the luncheon in the form of a 12-point program.
 T am tired" said the West Virginia Senator, "of seeing the opposition use us as chopping block. The time has come for some action-and now
 Each Senator then discussed the program. The comment was deadly serious, most of them worried over what will happen in our economy after the war Only levity occurred when Senator Bilbo of Mississippi, whom some Senators had not ex- pected to be present, was intro- duced by Pepper as "Poll-TaX Bilbo." The Gentleman from Mis- sissippi sat grinning as Senator Elbert Thomas of Utah jokingly remarked.
 We have a program here for postwar prosperity. Our slogan, in which we expect you to join, Sen- ator, is Support the Fair Employ ment Practices Act"
 Bilbo laughed and replied:
 Jim here has one of those Con- mittees in his state" He gestured toward Jim Mead of New York, where a Fair Employment Act re- gently was signed by Governor Dewey. Let's see how it works out before we start worrying about it down here"
 IF JAP WAR ENDS SUDDENLY
 One of the most interesting in- terchanges took place between Maryland's Senator Radcliffe and Connecticut's Senator Brien McMa- hon. Radcliffe expressed general approval of the program but added that he knew of no unemployment problem in the nation Whereupon McMahon interrupted to say that there was a growing unemployment problem in Connecticut.
 "We're in for a bad time if the war in the Pacific should end dur ing the summer, before adequate legislation has been passed to pro- vide for additional employment, McMahon continued.
 Tt seems to me" he added, "the Administration is on the horns o1 q dilemma. If we don't spend tC provide employment. we'll be in g bad way; if we do spend, our huge public debt will continue to pile up."
 There is no problem there" in- terrupted Rhode Islands agile IT. year old Senator Green, himself g millionaire. There is only ont course. If we do not have a high level of employment and genera well-being among the people oi the country, then we are headed for bankruptcy anyhow.
