NEW DIES COMMITTEE

The House Committee on Un- American Activities is getting more and more like it's predecessor-th Dies Committee. With freedom of the press something to be reserved only for those who support the committee, it's members have started to investigate the radio scripts of four liberal New York radio commentators-Cecil Brown, Johannes Steed, Sidney Walton, and William Gailmor. When someone informed the committee last month that MT Sam Karp, a Connecticut filling-station operator, and brother -in-laW of Molotov, was financially interested in the Bridge port Conn, Herald, Karp was inn mediately called down for ques- tioning. He denied owning any part of the paper.
 Later, committee members and Chief Counsel Ernie Adamson ad- mitted they had never seen copy

Furnishing the JobIess
Washington Post)


 The shelving of the emergency unemployment compensation bill by the House Ways and Means Committee act of petty responsibility It irresponsible because it ignored the urgent national need for cushioning the consequences of It was petty because it done on the shabby pre- text that the current of strikes disqualified the genuinely obless from receiving national assistance This is nothing than form of robbing Peter to pay Paul It is vindctive punishment of those who have jobs at all for the supposed sins of those who have jobs but are dissatisfied with them.
 Representative Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas, who offered the shelving motion in the committee exposed the utter meretricousness of his reasoning. How, he asked can you determine how many unemployed people there when many are out on strike?" We'll the answer this is very simple Strikers are people who have jobs and very much mean to hold on to them. Unemployed people, if they to become eligible for unemployment compensation, must register with the employment service and be willing to take any reasonable job offered to them. The num- Der of people unemployed can be determined very readily by consulting the rolls of the unemployment service.
 One of the calamitous effects of the strikes now in progress is to slow down reconversion and thus delay the unemployment of men discharged from war plants These men, then, themselves victims of the strikes And the Ways and Means Committee find no better outlet for it's ire than to penaze them for their misfortune Its action will certainly make no contribution the orderly settlement of labor dis putes It will merely persuade all workers whether they are out strike jobess that the Federal Government is deaf to their demands and hostile to their interests.
 While shelving the unemployment compensation bill the Ways and Means Committee agreed to start work at bill to proved tax relief Congress long ago provided relief for the employers affected by contract cancellations The unemployed, who are the real sufferers from contract cancellation, no less in need of relief than their employers Aid to the is no less part of the reconverslon problem than aid to taxpayers Indeed, the unem- at tha necessitous of all those caught in the maelstrom or the wars aftermath They urgently need help as victims of the wars dislocations And at the same time from the point of view of the national welfare they need help because maintenance of their morale, not to say their purchasing power, is prime factor in the restoration of economy.

ALASKA DAY

Seventy eight years ago today at Stka, the Am erican Flag was first raised over Alaska, marking the transfer of the Russian Colonies in America to the United States.
 It was on October l8 1867, that the ceremony took place Captain Aexei PeStchouro1 represented Russia and Brig General Lowell H. Roussea was the Russia and Brig. General Lowell H. Rousseau was the representative of the United States The flag used is on display today in the Territorial Museum.
 Our Secretary of State William H Seward was the American responsible for the purchase and Baron Stoeckl who was the Czars Minister to the United States sold the transaction to Russia After the sale it was learned that Russia would have sold the desoate country for a patry $5000000 but the Baron was shrewd and managed to get $7,200,000.
 A lot of things have changed since that time. Today another shrewd Russian is trying to touch" the United States for $6OOO000000, and if Secre tary of the Treasury is smart he'll remember that in 1867 Russia asked for than she expected to get and might be able to settle for only five billions Meanwhile cur envoys from the "old country in Washington D. C., who visited Alaska this year to see how the step-chidren were behaving comment that Alaskans are still ignorant as ever far too ignorant to manage their affairs and if we don't get out and raise more taxes we aren't going to get help from Washington to do lot of things we should
 l We think it would be swell idea if the United States would sell Alaska back to Alaskans for the original purchase price. We could all cash in our war bonds and raise that much in hurry That might solve many of our problems and cure good

HOROSCOPE 'fThe stars incline
 but do not cOmpe"
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19

Benefic aspects seem to be strong ly opposed by adverse planetary in- fluences. The morning is a time for routine work.
 HEART AND HOME
 Threatening signs seem to warn women to be cautious in love af- fairs today. Those who have not been faithful to pledges made to Servicemen overseas are to be pe- culiarly unfortunate this month, it is forecast. There is sign indicat- ing the uncovering of much that is hidden in mind and heart.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Disposal of surplus property pro- vided for our armed forces will pre- sent many problems and cause much unjustified criticism. Many trade considerations are involved and minor mistakes in valuation and other matters are to be numerous.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Complete cleansing of the na- tion's jails and changes in methods of handling prisoners will be de- manded by the public. Increase in juvenile delinquency makes impera- tive attention to children under ar rest for trivial offenses
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 France is subject to the most stimulating planetary influences which seem to promise amazing re- covery from the frightful war eX- periences. Paris is to regain much of the fame it gained as fashion center of the world
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which changes of occupation may cause temporary perplexities.
 Children born on this day probably will be exceedingly original and res tive under discipline. Many will be greatly talented.

SNAPPY TRUMAN

It's always difficult to advise a President of the United States, but friends of Harry s. Truman are hoping he will get away from hlS habit of making snap decisions. This includes even some cabinet members who benefit from his quick decisions.
 Newspapermen who attend White House press conferences long have commented privately on Truman's tendency to shoot out an answer. He comes out with statements which neither Roosevelt, Coolidge, nor Hoover would have made with out careful consideration.
 Cabinet members find the same is true in private conferences. They are delighted to get such quick de- cisions, but sometimes wonder whether it is a good idea to omit consultation with other interested departments. The snarled-up Pa cific Island bases, which Truman gave to the Navy without consult ing the Army, State. or Interior Departments are cases in point.
 The quick decision regarding the atomic bomb bill is another. h. siders say Truman never saw the bill which the Army sent to Con- gress.
 (Note-Most memorable world shaking result of White House snap statements was when Warren G Harding, replying to a press ques- ton, ssid that under the Pacific Security Pact Japan would not be able to build bases on her own main islands. Charles Evans Hughes, then Secretary of State had to deny this and sign special protocol to unsnarl the Harding error. After that, and up until the Roosevelt regime. questions were handed to the President in writing

SCIENTISTS UNION

eManWhile, the scientists have or ganized into virtual trade unions, ' chiefly with the aim that their secret be used for the benefit of mankind. The organizations they have formed so far are:
 1--The Association of Amos Scientists in New Mexico;
 2-The University of Chicago Scientists;
 3 = The Manhattan District Sci entists;
 1.-The Oak Ridge Scientists.
 They also have issued memoranda to the general effect that almost any nation possessing sufficient material uranium, platinum gra- phite. and heavy watep, can pro- duce the bomb on the basis of in- formation which the War Depart ment already has disclosed
 Tt is -unrealistic," say the Oak Ridge, Tenn, scientists, that na- llOilo VIII ltilOuliCt lilS uoS Ol tllt atomic bomb in war The only major weapon which has been re- nounced is poison gas, doubtless due to its comparative ineffective ness.
 We believe there is only one way open to us. Every attempt must be made immediately to ar range for the control of this weapon by world authority. This means an effective international control of the production of the vital materials, and of their use by all countries Only the world authority may manufacture atomic weapons, and by the fact that they alone are in possession of these weapons, enforce international law and peace"

STORY OF SAIPAN

I knew that each day that passed
meant one day closer to battle. The
ship passed the International Date
Line on June 5th. The next day was
June 7th, thus completely emitting
the 9Th, Invasion day Of France.
On June 9Th we saw land, this be-
ing Kwajalein in the Marshalls. We
anchored there for a few days, and
together with an enormous convoy,
set out for Saipan.
AMMUNITION DUMP HIT
We sighted Saipan ON June 18th,
D-Day for the Marines. I'll never
forget that night. The ships were
Smelling hell out of the island and
I knew the damn JapS were catch
ing hell. During the Smelling a Jap
ammunition dump was hit. I can
still see those great flames in the
sky. Sure was one beautiful sight.
The following day I stayed aboard
ship, and thought for sure that any
minute we would get our call to go
to shore, but no dice. The next day,
the 18th of June, was different
story though. Our call came through
to debark as the Marines were meet
ing very stiff resistance. My heart
was in my throat and I felt chills
run up and down my spine Again
a million things came to my mind.
1t was too late now to start worry
ing as our orders had already come
through. Over the side went. again
into a LCVP, and then We headed
for the beach of Saipan. About a
