' WASHINGTON - A snowball has started rolling. It's still pretty small, but it's definitey rolling, and gath- iering size and momentum.
 It's the snowfall of decentraliza- .ticns Decentralization means taking Tauthority from one central agency ediks the Veterans Administration here in Washington and handing it rout. to many branch offices.
 Tn fact, that's what General Brad rley.l the ". A. Administrator has Sdone. He has set up IS branch of-
 fices of the Veterans Administra- ,tion, and each eventually will have -abo4t the same authority as the
 central Washington office now en- joys.
 But that's only part of the snow
 ball In his recent report to Con-
 gress, President Truman said, The real work Gin acclimating veterans
 to the civilian way of life) must be done in each community, through
 the cooperation of the industrial
 labor and civic organizations inter-

AAASKANS MAY GET MEDALS FOR WORK
 ON DRAFT BOARDS
Diretior ]. McCormick Re. turns After SeIecfive
 Service Conference


 Returning this week from the an. uual Selective Service Conference in Washington, D. C., John McCor- mick, Territorial Director of Selec- tive Service, announced that plans are underway to present a Con- gressionally-authorizsd medal to un- compensated persons affiliated with Selective Service in Alaska, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the States.
 The medal, for which Congress re- osntly passed a special appropria- tion bill, will be given with fitting ceremonies to all local members of draft boards, examining physicians and unemployment committeeman who have served two years or more as uncompensated persons.
 The award will probably be pre- sented by Gov. Gruening or his rep resentative flying to all central vi- entities of the 24 local boards throughout the Territory, MT Mo Ccrmlck said. Approximately 115 Selective Service men in Alaska are expected to be eligible for the award.
 Definite details of the medal-pre- sentation program in the Territory VIII be discussed with Gov. Gruen- ing upon his return from the States some time after the first of the year, the Selectiye Service Director said.
 PoStlGar Policies
 During the four-day Selective Ser vice Conference which was attended
 y 5l delegates, one from each State and U. s. Possessions, plans toward formulating various postwar policies of draft selective services were dis cussed under the direction of Gen eral Lewis B. Hershey, chairman of the conference.
 Need for continuation of selective service in order that occupational troops may receive replacements was dioQ ttlSCltcoCNl. 1liC OGlCCLlNt EOtl = vice Act expires May IS, 1946, unless further extended by Congress. MT Mccormick reported that repressn- tatives at the conference showed { general concurrence in favoring con- tnued induction of IS to 25-year-old men.
 A hand vote taken at the meeting indicated that approximately 30 per cent of the delegates approved pas sage of an act authorizing compul- sory military training under civilian direction.
 On the second day of the confer enoe, MT. Mccormick and all other delegates were invited to visit Presi- dent Truman at the White House Following their introduction to the President by Gen. Hershey, they were photographed on the White House steps with the Nations Chie1 Executive.

SALMON RUINS, ESCApEMENT
 SUMMARIZED

tTnis is the first of a series of reports prepared by the Fish and Wildlife Service, under the direction of the Fisheries Management Sup ervisor Of Alaska, picturing condi- tions prevailing during the 1945 ! packing season with the results of stream surveys conducted following the close of the fishing season This initial report deals principally with the Southeast Alaska area)
 Runs end EScapement
 The canned salmon packs for Alaska in 1945, totaling about 4,296.000 cases, represents the small est pack produced in the Territory since 1927 when the total was about 3,566,000 cases, and a decline from the 1944 final by almost 100000 and from the ten-year average by about .1,179,000.
 The Pink production in Southeast Alaska, about 1,O12,0O0 cases, fell below the poor pack produced in the preceding cycle and is 8 decrease of almost 752 GOO from the ten-year average. Southeast was equally dis appointing for Chums, with a pack of only 258,00 cases, when the ten year average is ever 432,o00 eases. Output of canned Red salmon was about normal, as it was for Silvers and Kings, considering the produc- ton of fresh, frozen, and mild-cured for the last two species mentioned. A considerable amount of Chums were also frozen.
 The Chum and Pink runs were very weak and discouraging through out Southeast with the possible ex- ception Of part of the Southern Dis trict, until about week prior to the date specified by regulations for closure. From that time until fish, ing terminated, including one or tWC-day extension of season in most districts, good runs of Pinks came in; however, they were somewhat spotty for the area as a whole. Ab- normally heavy runs continued on the West coast of Prince of Wales Island for about ten days after the season closed. Post-season observa- tions and surveys revealed that sim liar conditions in parts of Sumner, Clarence and Chatham Straits, Fred rick Sound, and the West coast of Baranof. This condition resulted in abnormally heavy concentration of spawners on the West coast and in parts of the other areas mentioned sboye With the possible exception Of Icy Strait, other districts and areas of Southeast, including Yaku- tat, received what is generally be- lieyed to be satisfactory escape ment.
 Observation of the streams showed that the runs aseended to the spawn ing grounds quite late and in most instances the bulk of the run did not enter until the latter half of Sep- tember and early October. Also, like the run during active fishing. the seeding was spotty in some areas. Certain streams carried heavy spawning population while others closely adjacent were poorly seeded.

Evening meal-Roast beef, corn
biscuits, Army spread, hard candy,

This sounds like a good ali round
days food, but it also represents
solid research. All the clements
of a balanced diet are present, in
Guiding sufficient calories. And
the amount of study which was
required to get it in such small
compass is better imagined than
described.
But, frankly, for those on a
Lenten reducing diet, it is too
much. You may initiate it to the
extent Of including the different
elements in order to make it bal
anced, but don't use so much of
each. After all, you are not land
ing on a sandy beach in the Pa
citic.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
G.. AL perspire excessively
during the night. Is that serious?
Answer: Certainly ii calls for an
examination. 1t should include a
careful examination Of the lungs,
sputum, if any, and N-ray Of the
chest. Aside from nervousness, the
condition suggests tuberculosis,
chronic sepsis and thyroid dis

idea of making him disgorge the
dope about where the gold was. I
thought, when you got back up, you
saw Calder playing with that fox in
its cage. thought he'd just ambled
in here after leaving Sarah's house
to get a highball-or something"
Il tell you, Aggie, if somebody did
all this"
The professor waved his hand.
1T was my impression that b.
garty told you he hadn't yet seen
anybody. But there was Calder,
toollng with the fox so Calder
could report tina. Bogarty had
reached the club. I supposed that
Calder opened the cage to pet the
fox and it bit him and escaped. A
dog the size of a fox'-you said
once. That was smart! Disarming.
Il thought you hit Calder with
something, too. Thcn-as | figured
it - you turned out all the club
lights and put Calder in Hanks car
and carried him up on the lumber
road. You had all night to build
that deadfall and run that car into
Upper Lake. But you found ous
Bogarty didn't know where the gold
was! And YOU couldn't turn him
loose!
Il thought-you watched the ex-
element about Calder'S death and
Bogarty's absence grow, hoping n
Of the people who owned the gold
would make a move to check it,
Calder was dead and Sarah had
humps. presumed you'd kept close
tabs on DR.. Davis and Waite. And
I'd imagined Davis went down to
his wine supply II day, maybe let
ting you know it-and you followed
him. That led you to the gold-you
probably watched him work the safe
combination. Only - Davis has no
wine down there any more. You
realized that he could spot you as
the thief, if you moved whatever
was in that safe. He knew you'd
seen him go down to the cellar and
he might reason that you, alone,
could know he'd gone there when he
had no wine.
"Maybe there was some other
item but you knew Davis could
spot you somehow, and you knew
you had to kill him. You knew he
was already trying to work out who
killed Calder = because you'd no
doubt followed him enough to see
that he was taking pictures Of
everything-thc deadfall especially
and developing them in that dark
room. You had a knife like this
one"
Aggie's hand came out of his
pocket. Browne finchcd. A hunting
knife landed lightly on the bed at
his side. Jack picked it up.
Plum went on talking. 81 was
pretty sure it was You. That veal
bone on the cellar floor. | think it
slipped out of the fox cage when you
carried the cage to the furnace to
burn it. There's my knife; it's the
same type as Hanks. Of course

Aggie asked old Mr.. Waite where
Jack was and got the usual, irritable
"How should | know. In
his room, | guess
Aggie took the staircase in agile,
noileless bounds. Tho floor above
was carpeted. There was a transom
over the door of the end room,
painted black to keep out the hall
light. In the hall, on a small ma
hogany table. stood Il vase of artif-
cial flowers. ACgie removed the vase
and carried the table 10 Jacks door.
He stood up on it Gingcrly; his face
came level with the painted tran
som. He moved his head until he
found a crack in the paint and
pressed his eye close.
The partial view of Jacks room
was adequate. 1t was in fevcrish
disorder. Two bullying suitcases
stood on the windowsill and n
other, nearly full, was on the bed.
A revolver lay on the bureau.
The professor restored the table
to its place and knocked on Jacks
door. 1t sprang open. Browne stood
there in a shirt, tie, and gray Stacks,
with a fedora cooked on the back of
his head. When he saw that it was
Aggie, his face relaxed. He even
smiled. "Something | Fan do"
Aggie stepped toward him. "Take
your hat off, Jack. You're not going
anywhere"
Browne backed into his room.

1and." His voice rose. Don't come
in here!" His muscles twitched as
he yielded ground-twitched with
the restrained will to grapple with
Aggie. Professor Plum kept coming
in, and Jack kept backing until he
bumped against his beostead. Then
he tried to turn.
Aggie, one hand in the pocket of
his jacket, said, Il wouldn't 90 for
that revolver if l were you"
Jack sat down or the bed, his face
shiny, his chest rose and fell jerkily.
His eyes had a look of frantic spe"..
lation which subsidized as Aggie did
nothing more sinister than to push
back some magazines on a desk and
sit on it.,
Jack said, "Why are you coming
in here-like this? Suppose l om
getting out? I can't stand this job
any more! l hate the people, The
orders! And this summer has beer
too much-already. My nerves are
shot to DicccS'"
The professor continued t. stare
at him. He was now a little closer
to the bureau than Jack. The trap
door" Aggic said, is in your office.
You cut it yourself. l presume. And

Jack said, "Arc you nuts? What

A@gie's face was like that of a
Judge listening to testimony where
by a prisoner was hanging himself.
