On a recent Tuesday, for no reason whatsoever, Mrs. Mary Colton and Mrs. Eleanor Dooley dressed up in their Sunday-go-to meeting clothes. Pieces-de-re- sistance of their outfits were two large black hats.
 To friends they confided: r. They were having fun fooling people, who, seeing the hats, nat urally assumed there was a boat in. 2-After going to such great lengths to dress if they didn't get their names in the paper they would never do it again.
 One of their friends (?), want ing to encourage such dressiness, came over to the office to tell us about it.
 And naturally we're for any thing for the betterment of the community.

There was a man in our town recently, who, Tn all his life, in cluding many years in Alaska, made it bis policy never to enter a liquor establishment of any kind.
 Desiring to make a trip from Kodiak by plane, a problem pre- sented itself, as the Alaska Air lines agency is in the Club Liquor Store. His solution: he sent a friend to buy his ticket
 Whats more, on the day of the planes departure he made several trips to the ore to check on the hour of leaving but each time he stood out in the street to solicit the desired information.
 We breathed a sigh of relief when he got away safely without defection in his decorum.
 Now that he is gone we can divulge that his abstemious record was broken during his so- journ in Kodiak. He once ENTERED the Club Mont martre.
 But that was VE-Day, and

 Wants Atomic Bomb
 Defense Plan First

Washington, Nov. 30 CUP) - Development of the atomic bomb requires a study of future defense needs before a compulsory military training program is adopted, Dr. James B. Conant, Harvard Univer- sity president, said today.
 Conant, one of the leaders in de- veloping the atomic bomb, testified before the House Military Affairs committee in opposition to legisla- tion calling for a years compulsory military training for 18-year-olds.
 He told the committee he had heard many categorical state ments" since development of the atomic bomb-some saying large bodies of trained men are obsolete and others that military training is more urgent than ever-"but have not seen a paragraph to support the unqualified statements.
 Conant said he represented 34 college and university presidents who asked:
 l. Extension of selective service on a year to year basis" but with service limited to IS months.
 2 A vigorous voluntary recruit ment program with special empha- sis on adequate pay and retirement opportunities.
 3. Appointment of a national de- fense commission to study future military needs, including scientific research,

COP SoIons Join in Row
 Clash on Authority
 For UM0 Delegate

Washington, Nov, 30.-(UP)-Re- publican senators clashed yesterday over proposed restrictions on the American delegate to the United Nations Organization Security Councitl.
 Senators Warren Austin, R., Vt., and H. Alexander Smity, R., N. J., attacked a proposal to let the U. s. delegate vote for action against an- other nation only if he is convinced that the decision would help bring about international justice as well as international peace and security"
 The limitation was sponsored by Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., as an amendment to a pending bill detailing American participation in the UNO.
 Austin and Smith argued that it tion according to the principles of justice. At the same time, Austin said, any restrictions might lead to debate and delay.
 What we want is action-imme- diate action as soon as some nation gets out of step" Austin said.
 "Whhat if the IndoneSians should attack Singapore?" countered Taft. ''The quickest way to reestablish peace would be for the United States Army to help put down the attack, but I think the question of justice also should be considered.
 What if the United States at some time should declare war on somebody? Our delegate to the Se- curity Council-if he didn't have to consider matters of justice then would be obliged to ask all the United Nations to attack America .''
