NEWS FROM THE ISLES
 (NeW York Times)

Many will await with keen interest further reports from the isles of Jersey and Guernsey. These two small bits of land off the French coast are the world famous homes of two of our most popu- lar dairy breeds, Jerseys and Guernseys. For generations cattle from these is- lands have been exported to the United States. Many of the prominent herds in this country have been founded directly on bloodlines from famous breeders on the islands. Agricultural experts fear that the Germans have slaughtered many of the breeding animals and thus destroyed the results of long years of breeding.
 They are especially concerned to learn whether the Germans have brought out side cattle to the two islands. The Chan mel island herds have always been free of tuberculosis, unique and valuable consideration to purchasers from many countries of the world If the wartime conquerers introduced this disease, it will pose grave problem for the inhab- itants, whose animal husbandry has been famous among breeders every where. British dairymen in particular
The Nome nugget., 1945-08-01

have big stake in the situation. Brit aims dairy industry is in a serious situa- tion so far as disease is concerned, and the islands constitute vital source of supply. Farm leaders hope that enough "seed cattle" are left to restore the breeding operations, but admittedly fear that German ruthlessness has perman- ently injured two of the worlds unique farming areas.

The division of opin'on is fur ther highlighted by diffe ences in viewpoints as to whether burdens which Alaska would have to as- sume under statehood would not overbalance the advantages.
 Actively opposing the state hood question have been certain mining interests. These feel that, as state, Alaska would impose land taxes not now being levied. Canning interests also do not pay levies which would be probable under statehood.
 It would be necessary for the state to bulk up its income since it no longer would be ale to rely so heavily on the U. S. govern ment.
 Secretary Ickes has said that the United States has no colonial po':cy. He has indicated, however, in the instances of Puerto Rico and the Philippines, that if they want and can exist with freedom they should have it.
 This attitude is expressed by other insular affairs officials in Washington in connection with the Hawaii-Alaska pleas. If they really want it, they say, statehood should never be refused without reason.

WASHINGTON IN WARTIME
By JACKSON s. ELLIOTT

WASHINGTON-From the sum- ny beaches of Hawaii and the storied snows of Alaska have come demands for statehood.
 Each territory asks for Sena- tors, Representatives, votes in Congress. The pleas bring up ar guments both for and against the action.
 There is one shining argument in favor of statehood-more is done for states whose votes can be used in serious bargaining on legislation.
 In consideration of statehood for Hawaii, three main arguments are advanced against it:
 1. Geographical location. Ha- waii is not a contiguous part of the United States or even of the continent.
 2. Some sentiment has been ex- pressed against probable repre- sentation in Congress by persons of Japanese blood, although the Hawaiian Japenese have a laud- able record for loyalty to the United States.
 3. The third argument-never publicly expressed - is that the Navy, remembering Pearl Harbor, reportedly would like to reduce the independent powers of Hawaii and place it more under naval jurisdiction as a protective mea- sure.
 One resolution has been intro duced in Congress recommending transfer of supervision of the gov- ernment of Hawaii ot the Navy. It now rests with the Interior De- parment.
 With Alaska, it is an entirely different question. Opinion has not crystallized. Ninety per cen: of Alaska is public land. Those who ask statehood also ask that control and rights to all natural resources be turned over to the state if one is formed. This is in direct opposition to the policy of the United States. Control of pub lc land in the states rests with the federal government.

SUICIDAL STUPIDITY
 (Anchorage Tirnes)

The Jap war machine teaches young student the rudiments of flying, seals him in plane and sends him on a sui eide mission against American ships. It hops up a young soldier with crackpot patriotism, straps his body with explo- sives, and sends him hurtling into the American lines. This country, on the other hand, is constantly improving equipment with view toward saving more lives and planes and ships.
 The Jap suicide pilots cause serious damage-when they hit. The suicide in- fantrymen do likewise - when they reach our lines. But whether they suc- ceed or fail life is expended in both in- stances and, in the first, plane is lost as we'll.
 American pilots sink ships, too. Amer ican infantrymen have wiped out half dozens and dozens of Japs single-handed And in the majority of such cases they have lived to fly and fight another day
 The Jap is not only inhuman, he is also inefficient.

there is complete denial of any
secrecy in the holding of meet
ing of the Bethesda Chevy Chase
Democratic workers from every
meeting of the Caucus Committee
the following night. "The Caucus
Committee meeting followed six
days written notice of $50 active
Democratic workers from every
precinct in the county," the state
ment says. Bethesda Chevy
Chase workers claimed that they
were ignored in the selection of
appointees in their community.
They were told that the record of
official vote in their areas failed
to impress county Democratic lead
erfs although they were promised
greater representation in the
future. Censure of the workers
in the Bethesda Chevy Chase
precincts is couched in the follow
ing language: owe continue to
believe that the results of the local
public efforts of some of the
Democratic officials and some of
the party workers of the Bethesda
and Chevy Chase Precinct have
not, as a general thing, in the
past several years, attracted suf-
ficient support among their neigh
bors and the citizens of their COM
munities. Many Of us in other
parts Of the county believe that
the Democratic Organization eff
fort in the Western Suburban
County should include more indi-
viduals and more groups of peo-
pie and that the scope and amount
of activities of the Democratic
effort should be increased so as to
prove more adequate"
Meanwhile oid-time opponents of
the Democratic Organization and
hopeful Republicans are viewing
with delight" the reports of riffs
in the majority party ranks.
Senator Hampton, who is chair
man of the Caucus Committee as
well as the United Democratic Or

pointed health educator of the
County tuberculosis Association
told the committee that the aver
age of thirty deaths each year
costs the appalling sum of about
100000. Estimating that each
death in the County from Tuber-
culosis costs the community appro-
ximately $4,000. would it not
be BETTER" Miss Galiher asked the
group, "if some or all of this
money could be diverted to preven-
ton of this dread disease before
the deaths occur?"
