John Marin
 Passes Away

John Marin, popular owner of the Douglas Inn, at Douglas, and the Derby Inn at Skagway, suc- cumbed to a stroke this morning at St. Ann's Hospital, at the age of 50 years. III for only a very short time, he had entered the hospital Monday.
 Born in Italy, he came to this country as a boy, and had lived in the Gastineau Channel area since 1912. His wife. Ruth, preceded him in death about year ago.
 During the early days on the Channel, Marin was employed at the Mexican Mine, and also at the Treadwe1l Foundry Later he entered the butcher trade during the Treadwell days. In 1881 he opened pool hall and recreation rooms in the Eagles Hall, which was burned out in the 1887 fire
 Following the fire, Marin built the Douglas Inn, and later opened the Derby Inn at Skagway, where he spent most of the last two years. He returned to Douglas last month, with plans for remodeling the Douglas Inn, and had the work underway at the time of his death.
 The remains are at the Charles ". Carter Mortuary.

Vandenberg met the argument that what really was created at San Francisco was military al- liance among the UnlGed States Great Britain and Russia with the agreement that so far as peace en- forcement is concerned "there is substance to this contention"
 But hasten to assert" he said that so far as force is concerned, the world is at the mercy of Rus Sia, Britain and the United States regardless of whether we form this league or not. Those happen to be the facts of life.
 Curb on Military
 But I submit that the world is even more at their mercy without the San Francisco Charter than with it. Without the Charter there is no curb upon these great mili- tary powers except the rivalry be- tween them-and military rivalry has never been the hamburger of peace"
 It is his view, Vandenberg said, that in the Charter the United States would sacrifice none of it's essential American rights. This is no world super government, he added.

WASHINGTON - I'm embarrass- cd. Everyone has a postwar en- plcyment plan but me.
 Eut maybe I'm saving myself lot Of criticism. Because it seems as though every time the next guy or the next group or the next govern ment-man announces a new after the-War employment plan, the rasp- berries start to be handed. The hco.s all seem to be various versions Of either He's just a dreamed or Wrong time to talk about re-em rloyment. Don't va know the wars still on?"
 A postwar employment plan ap- pears to be natural target. Every tcdy starts to shoot at it at once. They talk only of why it won't work instead of trying to build up it's good points.
 Anyway, we have the 1944 War Mobilization and Reconversion Act MT. Justice Byrnes, the first Direc- tor of the Office of War Mobiliza- tion and Reconversion, gave way to Fred Vinson. An Advisory Board of twelve members was named by the President and the Senate confirm ed. I have little idea how far the Advisory Boards reconversion plans have progressed Tn way I'm glad I don't, because I doublt if I could understand the intricate scope of the problem
 Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, speak ing as Administrator of Retraining and Rel Employment, gave a talk in New York City before the Academy Of Political Science that was WOW The job was created under the War Mobilization and Reconversion Act.
 I got copy of the speech from the Office of War Information, and I wish every veteran and service man would read it.
 I'll confess that parts of it were too deep for me, but it shows that the government sure is going ahead with some big plans to help build and sustain millions of postwar private jobs. And it shows that ap parently business and industry and the professions are increasingly working with the government.
 Now along comes the American Legion. It has program for max mum employment. Also it has a big organization which is spread all ever the country. It intends to use it's organization to put the plan ovei.
 The American Legion's goal is 55 million postwar jobs. That is three million more than we have right now. The Legion says it can be done and goes on to show how it thinks it can be done.
 The plan isn't at all complicated, though the details are too many to outline here. Its central argu- ment is that the bulk of the new jobs must be found in the service and distribution field. To the American Legion this means sales, marketing, distribution, finance, ser- vice, and retail and wholesale trade. It says the place to develop such jobs is in the thousands of local communities all over the United States-the same places where local posts of the American Legion al- ready are operating.
 We will produce all we can sell, says the Legion. This is far differ ent from the old theory that we could sell all we could produce. To cring tEe Legion idea to reality, we would have to develop a market for goods that we know we can produce. Developing such a market would create millions of new service and

 distribution jobs. And that, says the Legion, is our answer It is ready to prove it by doing it.
 But creating jobs is different from getting jobs for veterans. It's in this field that any big coordinated scheme has been missing. I don't think it follows that if the jobs are created, veterans will get them.
 Quite while back, folks in AL toona, Pa., recognized this, so they got themselves an idea to intro duce the returning service men of their community to the right job. But that scheme will have to go over until next time.

BALL PLAYERS FOUND TO MAN
 MAJOR SQUADS
Associated Press Uncov- CTS 460 Draft free
 Horsehiders

NEW YORK, Jan. 25. - Profess sional baseball probably has enough 17-year odds and players over 38 to man the 16 major league rosters, if conditions necessitate such action. A nationwide survey by the Asso- ciated Press has uncovered almost 46O players whose l944 experience ranged from the big leagues to Class D squads. S9s VI N ss@
 Many of the players reported by the survey would still be available if all now of military draft age should be taken. Teams formed from this material wouldn't play big league ball but might serve as an acceptable stop-gap if proposed na- tiofial service legislation is passed and put into immediate large scale operation.
 There has been no official indica- tion from either the sport or the Government that there is to be any radical change from the attitude ex- pressed by President Roosevelt's $ Garry on, if you can message. Big league executives have continued to make training camp plans and play CT deals and to mail out contracts, on the assumption that the season will open, as usual, in April.

TIER PRIMITIVE
 MAN' SHOWING
 A5 CAPITOL BILL

Her Primitive Man." which opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre, is diverting comedy in which brilliant cast, headed by Robert Paige, Louise Allbritton, Robert Benchley, Edward Everett Horton and Helen Broderick keeps the acticn and laughs geared to a fast pace.
 Paige and Mice Allbritton hold up the love interest in this, their sec ond co-starring picture for Uni versal Studios.
 Paige delivers highly creditable performance as the none-too- scrupulous adventure author who voluntarily turns guinea pig when socialite anthropologist invades the jungle in search of a man eating head hunter.
 As the anthrcpolQgist who brings a specimen of primitive civiliza ticn to New York to learn what makes him tick-and then falls in love with him-Miss Allbritton is both beautiful and plausible.
 Benchley's appearance on the screen as the publisher of Paige's pseudo adventures, whose wrath is aroused to the boiling point by his writer-client's machinations, keeps the audience on the verge of hys- terics.
 Made to his order is Edward Everett Horton's role as the bar tender pal of Paige.
