These included con- tincing to make the post elective instead Of appointive as the bill had first suggested, and setting the salary at 5000 per year. The proposed bill would be introduced in the Senate as substitute for the wage collection measure which was introduced in the House.

5u!pt. Change For pioneers' Home Advised
Legislature lnspeciion Committee Reports on
 Institution at Sitkd

Intimation that a change in the Superintendent would be of benefit to the institution is the high point of the report of the Legislative h. vestigating Committee that recent ly inspected the Alaska Pioneers Home at Sitka.
 The joint report of the House and Senate members making the trip was presented yesterday afternoon to the Territorial Senate by Senator ! Andrew Nerland, chairman of the upper chambers Committee on | Territorial Offices and Institutions. It was concurred in by the three other committee members, Senators O. D. Cochran, Joe Green and H. H. McCutcheon.
 The report, which was voted to be i incorporated in the Senate Journal, was accompanied by stenographic transcripts of hearing held at the Home and attended by approximate ly fifty residents of the Home, and of interviews with individual pion- eers. Both favorable and unfavor- able comment on the conduct of the institution was heard at the hear ing.
 In general the inspecting com- mittee found the condition of the buildings satisfactory, both inside and outside. The rooms were clean and well-kept The cemetery was in good condition. The hospital at the Home was well maintained and was found ample for the needs of the institution itself. However, it is the cnly hospital serving both the home and the town of Sitka and there is only one physician in Sitka. 1 The committee recommended, therefore, that as soon as possible, the city should provide it's own facil- ities. Need for a diagnostician at the Home was also found.
 ' The meals served were declared l by the committee to be wholesome, but it is recommended that more substantial meals would be advis- able, particularly the noon meal. { It was pointed out that the cook, i, who is paid $500 per month for his services at the Home, is also em- ployed as steward at the Sitka Moose Lodge It was thought that this outside employment impairs i the performance Of his duties at the Home.
 It was recognized by the commit tee in its report that Superinten- dent Filler Hansen has been in poor health, which fact may have result ed in his not being able to give full time and effort to the management of the institution. It was suggested that superintendent enjoying bet
 Ger health could give the operation of the Home fuller attention. Uncounted thousands of miles of nerve fiber comprise the brain and

WASHINGTON. - While specu-
lation mounts as to the effect the
current Russian winter offensive
ant the conference of the "Big
Three" will have on the future of
eastern Europe, observers here be-
lieve the Soviet government has
just now seized a unique opportu-
nifty to propaganda for what it
intends to do in Poland and the
Baltic States.
The opportunity came in the
series of questions put to Ivan v.
Polyansky, chairman of the Soviet
Council on Affairs of Religious
Cults, by correspondent for Am
erican newspapers. Mr.. Polyansky,
it is held here, made the Soviet
best of that opportunity.
Declining to answer a question
which he did not want to meet
head on, and slicing off at tan
gent when asked what charges had
been leveled against the bishops
and priests sent to Siberia by the
Bolsheviks, Mr.. Po;yansky made the
most he could of other questions,
and may have led some unwary
persons to think there really is re-
ligious freedom in Russia.
Catholic priests barred
But where the Soviet official
outdid himself was in answering
the question whether the Russian
gCvernment might change its policy
which in the past has prevented
Catholic priests from entering Ru-
sia. Mr.. Polyansky said he saw
no need for Catholic priests to
come into Russia from the outside;
that "Russia's own talented and
hard-working clergy is capable of
handling the situation, especially
as the training of new priests is al
ready proceeding.
This all sounds very we'll, but it
it misleading.
Asked to explain about this
training. of new priests, the So
Wet official said theological semi
naries for Roman Catholics are
functioning in Wilma and Kaunas,
where the Russian government is
now in control. The seminaries

he cites as examples arc not in
Russia and are not Russian but are
in Lithuania.
Great number exiled
1t has been estimated that there
were five million Catholics in union
with Rome residing in Russia when
the Bolsheviks came to power. No
figure is at hand as to the number
of priests. Countless numbers of
the faithful, with their priests and
bishops, were sent into Siberia by
the Bolsheviks. How many of them
survived, what has happened to the
survivors, is not known.
1t is certain, however, that the
number of Catholic priests surviv-
ing in Russia ir very small. Could
Mr.. Polyansky have meant, some
ask, that the number of Catholics
also has been so far reduced that
these priests can care for them?
The Soviet official did not say new
priests are being trained in Russia.
What observers dwell upon,
though. is Mr.. Polyansky's delibe-
rate citation of Catholic seminaries
in Wilma and Kaunas as examples
of places where priests are being
trained for Russia. This, they say,
is just another way for the Soviet
government to drive home the point
that it intends to take and keep a
free hand in eastern Poland and
the Baltic states.
Propaganda trick
Incidentally, it is pointed out, if
people can be brought to entertain
the happy illusion that there really
is religious freedom in Soviet Rus
sia, and fix it in their minds that
Wilma and Kaunas are shining
proofs of the fact, then they will
come easily to think that Wilma and
Kaunas, not as Lithuanian territory
but as Russian territory.
Many things are wrong with Mr..
Polyansky's picture. What is there
to indicate that Russia now wants
Catholic priests at all, after trying
so long and so arduously to kill
them off and keep them out? Con-
sidering the way priests have been
slaughtered in Poland and Lithu-
ania, is there any guarantee Rus
sia will want them there? If
priests are permitted in these
places, won't the Poles and the
Lithuanians need all that can be
trained for many years to come?
And, who can picture the Russians
permitting. much less sending, Po-
lish priests to work among the
Russians?
MI. Polyansky wouldn't answer
the question, according to reports,
whether Soviet law permits an an
swer to be made to an attack such
as the late Orthodox Patriarch Ser
gius recently level against the
primacy of the Pope.
Mr.. Polyansky said too that the
question of ones religious belief
"plays no part in the selection of
persons for government posts"
Have you ever heard Of a member
of any church being Russian Of
ficial?

Some years ago boy who had been born and reared

department who whiz He made snowy
display of his knowledge about furniture customer
could ask him question but that he had clipper
Yet he knew very little about furniture On the other
hand the Michigan farm boy did know something about
it. for he not only had studied furniture and the woods
from which it made but he had also got books the
subject studied them asked questions and tried to master
his product But still the snowy salesman put it all
him.
One day the ex-farm boy asked the other salesman
how he managed to make many sales than he did
The showy salesman replied
"Its really very simple. l bluff When l don't know

They check up If you'd do bluffing,
instead of admitting ignorance you'd get along faster
