DELIGHTFUL PARTY

Over the two and a half years of it's existence the USO Forum Club has had many delightful par ties. One of the most enjoyable of all was that of last Monday night.
 The affair was given at one of the ACS outposts. Our hosts were the five Signalcorpsmen stationed out there. All their guests agreed that they did themselves proud in putting the party across! It was Bob Cook, of Seattle, Wash, reg ular Forum Club member, who had the original idea of extending the invitation to us; it was Cliff San dine, North Bend, Oregon, who se- cured permission for us to come i; and these two were ably assisted in arrangements and hospitality by their associates, Marvin Roseberry of JefferSonville, Indiana; Harold Siegrist, of Wenatchee, Washington, and Jim Wheeler, of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. To these fel- lows and to It. Robert Dalton (Who authorized the use of the facilities) all of us who were guests owe a deep debt of thanks for the fun we had that night.
 This report would be incomplete without a separate paragraph de- voted exclusively to the subject of Bob Cook as a chef Especially outstanding were his toasted tuna fish and cheese sandwiches -estab- fishing our friend definitely as a real Cook in deed as well as name.
 The emphasis on refreshments reminds us again that this Forum Club of ours invariably inclines much more to the gastronomic than the forensic. It's the good food to eat, and the girls to eat it with, that combine to form the greatest attraction for the men every Mon- day night.
 We've just had brainstorm-

AFL Submits Proposal In. stead of Improved Edu-

WASHINGTON, June IA. The American Federation of Labor to- day advocated "a comprehensive program of improved education and health service" for the nations youth as a substitute for peacetime draft legislation.
 The AFL views were presented to the House Postwar Military Policy Committee in a statement prepared by Lewis G. Hines, National Leeis- lative Representative. Hines recall ed that the Federation's Executive Council last February adopted a resolution opposing universal mili- tary training,

SIINDAY HIKE

Last week we promised to tell you today more about the plans for this Sundays hike. It will be the first of the season sponsored by the USO.
 The time of departure is set for 3 o'clock, the destination is Per- severance Mine; and the GSO girl in charge is Winona Monroe, just back from the University of Alaska. Don't get us wrong. Winona didn't HIKE back from up there-We didn't mean it quite that wayD

Butter Shortage Looms

The coming butter crisis was dis cussed by the Chamber today after it was explained by Jack Fletcher l that all the butter coming to
 Alaska is out of Government stor- age. By July it will be stopped and Alaska will be handled like the
 rest of the United States reducing
 the supply from 50 to 90 percent. After much discussion it was
 moved and seconded that the Sec !, retary write to four other Cham ] bers of Commerce to discover their attitudes on this matter and to assure them of Juneau Chamber of Commerce's backing, keeping in
 mind the original plan when
 Alaska was not rationed. Kenneth Alexander and Curtis Shattuck
 were appointed as committee of l two to follow this through, and re- port at the next meeting. Invite Truman The secretary was further in- structed to send a telegram to President Truman, inviting him to include Juneau in his visit to the West.
 1 An invitation was extended to !, the members from Alaska Airlines, via Jack Fletcher, to attend the |.christening of their new Douglas
 transport plane tomorrow. The
 plane will be christened 'Starliner
 Juneau by Mrs. Ernest Gruening. Guests at the next Chamber of Commerce meeting will be mem-
 bers of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce.
 Guests at this meeting were: w. c. Arnold, lawyer from Ketchikan; ,E. B. Kluckhohn, Vice President of the Seattle First National Bank
 Seattle, Washington; M. N Paredes Marine Ways in Gastineau Chan
 mel area; Miss Imogene Ward, Dis trict Home Demonstration Agent of Ketchikan, Alaska, and MT

ON THE ROAD TO PEACE

~ THE reports from the San Francisco
Conference are confusing, and the conclu-
sion is that many of the major questions
still remain to be solved. is there any
way by which the public opinion of the
world can be modified against a country
whose government threatens to become an
aggressor?" asks David Lawrence, one of
the most level-headed writer's in the United
States, and his answer is that the ''so-called
veto power whereby the Security Council
would be prevented from enforcing dsci-
pline on major powers will remain UNI
changed"
The Big Three at Yalta agreed that
such changes could be enforced. 1t re-
manned for Senator Vandenberg of Michi-
gan to push through and secure proof of
an amendment to the Dumbarton Oaks
Charter that permits the assembly of the
United Nations organization at all times to
investigate -"any situation regardless Of
origin ..ft.
II is hardly to be expected that the
rulers of countries like the United States
the British Empire and Communist Russia
would be able to agree upon all details.
But they have one common objective, which
IS permanent peace" The nations iupqled
with hat issue in the First World War and
failed It doesn't seem reasonable TO he
lieve that this terrible War No II will fail
in preserving peace. That wouldn't make
sense.

After sittaag !, in the mayors
lap and crying liAl baby, l fl
nally got hi . agree to make
a citywide ..ec.ion of cans if
II would get lolks to put them in
bags or boxes and set them out in
front of the house On q certain
day. Fine, I was really getting
somewhere. :
| went on the radio and pleaded
with folks to gather all the cans
they could, wash them, take the
labels off, cut both ends and smash
them flat, then put them out in
front where we could get them.
! went to bed the night before
the pickup day, dreaming of
mountains of nice, prepared tin
cans. I was sure we'd get cou-
pie of carloads. Well, the next
morning l drove around town
looking for cans. About every six
blocks I'd find box or bag of a
dozen or so. Altogether we didn't
get much more than a truck load
and we had covered the whole
town.
Then | took some time off and
interviewed a lot of folks to see
if could find out what the trou-
bic was. The answers l got con-
WINGED me that the public is not
sold on the proposition. f
Is Ever since Pearl Harbor they
have been asked to save scrap
iron, aluminium. tin, tooth paste
tubes, rags, bottles or what have
you. Most folks took those ao-
peals seriously in the beginning.
They did save the stuff and car
ried it to salvage depots only to
see it lay around for months and
finally be hauled to the city
dump. House wives saved cans
and delivered them to their gro
Ger and then saw them lay around
and rust. They collected all their
waste paper, tied it IN bundles
and left it on the curb. In some
cases it lay there for a week, or
blew over the streets.
In the meantime, over the ra-
do and through the newspapers,
the frantic appeals continued to
BE made. 1t got to be an old story.
Just how we are going to over
come this apathy don't know. I
can't say I blame folks much.
Maybe before we wind things up
in the Pacific, some of our bright
Washington bureaucrats will fig
ure out what we need and set up
a definite, intelligent plan for
ssttirrg it, as the matter stands
now il seems we are doing won
derfti job of running around in
circles. ..,t sass .ae

RUSSIA In THE PACIFIC

RuSSia's future role In the Pacl1lc w ar
may still be unpredictable, but until now
her policy of benevolent neutrality has
been consistent with Allied overall STRAIT
egg. Some Americans have been disap-
pointed and resentful because we have not
had Russia's active participation in the war
against Japan, or at least the use of Rus
sian air bases in Siberia. But this viewpoint
has never been expressed officially IN
Washington, and there are many reasons
for believing it never represented the
wishes of our high command.
What many Americans wanted most
of Russia in the Pacific was the use of
Soviet air bases in Siberia. A one-way look
at the map showed these bases were only
600 to 1000 miles from Tokyo, which
would have been fine if it had been the
full story. But it wasn't. Because some of
Japan's strongest air bases are only 100
miles from these same Soviet bases! Vladl-
vostok, for example, was not only subject
to terrific mass attacks from nearby jap
anese air fields in Korea and Manehuria,
but could have been isolated, and perhaps
eventually captured, by Japanese land
mafch OF less imam lou miles. =.
The fact that our use of Russian bases
against Japan would have inevita bly,
opened new ffighting front huadreds of
miles in leng from Allied sources of
snffrfss:~sheN conveniently near J,apan's, is
the best ereNnlent IN favor of Russia's past
ffNacH. OurlmiIftary stra coy from the OUT
SCI of the war was to defeat Germany first,
h,.i,a
of Allied strength-British. American and
Russian-to bear in Europe first. 1t meant
concentrating our strength on as few fronts
as possible, so that our forces would not
be dissipated and Intellectual everywhere.
And it is inconceivable that the war
with Germany would be over today if we
had opened new front against Japan in
Siberia. Millions of additional troops would
have been required merely to hold that
front. Supplying them would have been
an almost impossible undertaking when
the Allied supply problem on all fronts was
desperate. And we would have been de-.
p1iyedeof these men and weapons in Europe
when .they wererneeded to turn the tide
against Germany. ...,. -....-.@
Il By wagiRg, merely war of nerves
against Japan, Russia has accomplished
for the Allies all that could have been &C:
complished under the circumstances By
never making it clear whether she intend
ed to move against Japan before Germany's.
defeat, Russia forced Japan to concentrate
millions of her. best troops along the Si-
berian frontier where they were unable to
interfere with our 6,000-mile march back
across the Pacific These Japanese armies
still are intact but with or without Russia,
we are now in position to deal with them
with a mighty club in each hand

got me in a weak moment and
talked me into accepting the post

He had a good line and assured

and the city, assisted by the De-
Tense Council, would take care

Well, my appointment was an

then I've been getting more te1e-

body had a bundle of paper OF a
mess of tin cans to dispose of and
they were taking pains to tell me
about it..
What | didn't know at the time
was that the Merry-go-round'
has broken down. The Army had
baen collecting the stuff but had
disc ,niinued the service when
their equipment was moved out.
TIE city promised to Go what
il could but the sanitary depart
n.ent didn't have enough trucks
or men to take care of the regu-
lcf garbage collection, let alone

The War Production Board kept
screaming for more paper and
more cans and sent me about a
ton of printed matter designed to
sell mo on the need of greater eff

expediters around to prod me in
to action, but nobody seemed able
to figure out ? way to collect the
stuff and geJ it to tire mills.
