EngIe Advocates
Continuation of
Metals Subsidy

WASHINGTON, March % CUP)
Rep. Clair Engle, Cd, Cali
fornia, Wednesday asked the house
to support a senate bill to extend
the life of the metal and mineral
subsidy program. He also sug-
gested an investigation of the War
Production Boards office of met
ais and minerals.
Engle said the WPB office was
in charge of cancellation of prem
ium payments.
If it guesses no better than
when it authorized the cancella-
ton of the mercury and tungsten
programs he said, this division
is scarcely to be trusted"
Engle criticized as 'rediculius"
the appointment of Walliam C..
Keeley, vice president of the Air
Reduction Company, New York, as
vice chairman of the office of
metals and minerals.
What bothers me is why a man
with Mr. Keeley's qualifications
would take such a job Engle
said He questioned the appoint
ment of James Douglas as Keeley's
deputy.

I am not prepared to make any
predictions until I have an oppor-
tunIty tc look the other clubs over.
You may say, however, that I do
predict that the team will not wind
up in last place"
Bert Keller, sports scribe for the
San Diego T.ibune-Times. who has
been in El Centro during the train
ing season, had the following to say:
Unless the club runs into unfcre-
seen hard luck, it should finish in
the first division, possibly in third
place. Pepper has young, hustling
team tkat should 90 places"

Pepper denied that he is planning
immediate trades or buying players,
saying that he has q full quota Of
25 men Cthe league limit and will
start the season with them
I have nine promising pitchers

DEVELOPMENT AGENCY

The Juneau Chamber of Commerce scored vic- tory in the Senate yesterday with the passage of the S12OO00 development agency bill with only two dis senting votes With Governor Gruening swinging his weight behind the measure whole heartedly passage in the House seems to be certainty. This seems to be one measure which all concerned believe to be a worthy and much needed step
 The bill provides for the appointment by the Governor of four-man board which will in turn appoint manager for the agency. The Governor also will serve as member of the board in the capacity Of chairman The board under the bill may set the salary of the manager at any figure within the limits of the appropriation. There are no residence quail ficatons set up to the choice of either the members of the board the manager.
 If the objects of the agency, set forth in the bill are accomplished then this will be money well spent Indeed it will be money well spent if only some of the aims are accomplished The success of the measure however will depend upon who is chosen as manager.
 In the meantime no existing agency Of the Territorial government should for one minute after this measure is enacted into law consider that the creation of this and elaborate agency will take

Army Orientation
Washington Post)

Stars and Stripes thinks that nothing comparable
 to the clarity of purpose existing in the Red army exists among forces. "A bitter fact also go record" it asserts"that there 18,ooo American soldiers in the European theatre of operations who haven't the fantest idea of what this war is about who seemingly know nothing about it's causes-and care less about it's outcome" The Army newspaper refers to men who AWOL-whose number, accord ing to a recent statement by General Reckord, is actually only about 5000. Even this represents another among many indications of theological con- fusion in the American Army.
 Now the Army has what is called orientation program designed to remedy such confusion It has been prepared by Gen. Frederick H Osborns In fomation and Education Division Officers who were supposed to make of it for orientation courses however have often skimped skipped it. The top command of the Army has given it great emphasis. Many soldiers declare that they received little or no orienaton guidance or that what they got was pre- sented unmpressively and uninterestingly
 Of course General Osborns division confronts orientation job much more complex than that of the Red army. It would be surprising indeed If Soviet soldiers in view of what their homeland has endured had any illusions about the Germans. And it is con paratvey easy for them to know what they fighting for, since their national purposes are unequvocaly determined by a single leader. Moreover, the status in the U s. s. R. and the glorious deeds of the Red army make service in it glorious privilege which IS regarded such throughout the Soviet Union Those deeds treasured and retod to recruits of the units that them and regaled to the nation so as to elevate the status of the Red army.
 In these respects the American experience is dif- ferent. Pride in a particular unit, with few excep- tons as for instance the Marines is not fosered by indoctrination of what that unit has already accom- plished This could be remedied Theological indoc- trination is more difficult Here there are lively differences of opinion, some of them fundamental, about the principles fighting to defend and the obectves we seek to attain. Not unnaturaly, these are reflected among the men in uniform. General Osborn finds himself frustrated for example, when he attempts to teach soldiers elementary doctrine as that all created equal. There are influ- ental Americans Capitol Hill who consider this subversive and unAmerican idea. The Army can scarcely give it's clear views issues concerning which they deep cleavages at home.
 But the Army must give the men at least sense of zeal and conviction about their cause. If we are divided as to what seek in agreement as to what we fighting to avert. The nature of the enemy and the mortal threat he has raised against our national security beyond controversy If men are sent into battle without understanding of these subjects they in real sense disarmed. Such knowledge essential part of their military training and eQllipment.

PEACE-LOvING ICKES

The Senate Judiciary Committee, passing on the qualifications of Judge Nathan Margold for the Federal Bench, was moving quietly along with his old chief, Secretary Ickes, on the stand As usual dur ing the reading of prepared state ments, the Senators let their at tention wander.
 But suddenly Senator McCarran of Nevada snapped to attention What did you say, MT. Secretary? he asked.
 Ickes smiled innocently, then re- read from his prepared statement "As everyone knows, am a very amicable and peace-loving man. don't like fights, legal or other wise"
 Startled McCarran replied, "Is that a statement of fact. MT. Sec retary?'
 "Of course it is" replied the tempestuous MT. Iekes in his bes' butter wouldn't melt-in-hi -moutl manner. Its a fact, and that! why I'm putting it in the record.
 McCarran smiled, advised Icke' to proceed.
