made during the war should not be
extended in peace.

OF the leading railroads in the
country. Unemployment demands
are taxing the facilities of the rail-
roads even more than during the
war"
Col. johnson told the association

He lauded the railroads for their
war work, stating that he was proud

LETTERMAN ICKES

Mister Ickes is certainly in the middle of the alphabet soup with the numerous alphabetic branches under his immedi- ate supervision and he seems to take great pride in living up to the letter of the law, even those which are old and obsolete.
 One of these seems to be a power which can be wielded at his discretion even though the outmoded law has long since ceased to be necessary.
 Mister Ickes has seen fit to take fur ther lands for the Indians of Alaska, in spite of the fact that there are fewer and smaller Indian villages today, than at any time in Alaskan history There is the possibility that Mister Ickes considers taking over the control of the cities of Alaska, because some politician says the Indians (the poor, downtrodden h. dians), need more land and water rights
 This actually does not mean that the Indians of Alaska will fare better, but it does mean that white man has no right to stake the ground or obtain it for any purpose without paying to the De- partment of Interior premium for that permission.
 Mister Ickes, himself, states: ''I think

LITTLE RECONVERSION TALK
American Exporter

(American Exporter)
 In no field is the contrast between World War I and World War II more startling than in airplane production. Total production of aircraft in World War I, including Service planes, was only 1889, and of these the U. s. Army had only TAO combat planes at the time of the armiStice in 1918
 In contrast with this, the production of military and special-purpose planes from July, 1940, through February, 1945, totalled 266,194
 Moreover, the trend of development of military plane construction during the latest war is clearly indicated by the fact that, whereas the average horse power per aircraft engine unit in 1941 was 912, the average figure for March, 1945, was 1887, an increase of 80 per cent in 3A years.
 Average production of air planes in the United States in April, 1945, was 256 per working day. This was g per cent less than the preceding month, but it re- fleets diversion to larger planes.
 With promised stepping up of war in the Pacific, which requires many long, distance planes, there has been little public discussion of reconversion of the industry to a peace-time basis.

Fish Shortage Next Year

CHICAGO-A severe shortage of fish next winter was predicted this week by the Fish and Wildlife Service on the basis of current holdings of frozen fish, which on June 1 totaled only 40 million pounds or 25 per cent below aver. age.
 Holdings of fish in freezers anc cold storage houses normal, reach the lowest level of the yea May 1, and thereafter begin t built up sharply to a peak in lat fall. These fish serve as a reserv supply for the winter season, whe fishing operations are restricte by bad weather, and many speci of fish are unavailable.
 Holdings this year increas' eight million pounds between M l and June 1, but the normal crease during this period is abo 13 million pounds. Last year abc 70 million pounds were in stora on June 1, compared with present holdings of 40 million
 Fish and Wildlife Service cials said that production genel ly is running ahead of last ye figures, but current market mand for fish is so heavy that tie is left for freezing. With serves of frozen fish low and a small percentage of the pacl canned fish available for civil this year an acute shortage of next winter is expected.

JONES ACT WAIVERS EXTENDED

War Shipping Administration has recommended to the Treasury Department. upon urgent repre- sentations made by Delegate Bart lett and other vitallv interested Alaska residents, extensions of the Jones Act waivers in the fol- lowing conditions:
 1. For Alaska inter-port trans portation of passengers and mer- chandise on Canadian vessels ex- cept frozen fish, ninety days be- yond July 31.
 2. For transportation on Cana dian vessels of fresh fish, ninety days beyond July 31.
 3. Transportation of merchan- disc on Canadian vessels other than frozen fish bewteen ports in southeastern Alaska and ports in British Columbia and from the United States to British Columbia for transshipment to southeastern Alaska ports, thirty days beyond July 31.
 Frozen fish is excluded specifi- cally because the American lines have reported they can handle this commodity satisfactorily. Limitation to a period of thirty days beyond July 31 of transpor- tation as set forth in the third sec tion is accounted for by the fact that the Alaska Transportation Company will soon have the Taku back in service and expects to be able to serve Skagway satisfac- torily. This particular section was especially drawn up so that Skag- way, not served at all by North land and very infrequently, if at all, by Alaska Steamship Com pany during the war period, will be assured of continuation of ser vice by Canadian vessels until i+ is demonstrated American ship ping interests can give the re- quired service. The second section was written to permit movement of fresh fish by smaller Canadian vessels in the entire absence of suitable American shipping for that purpose.

 MAXIMUM PRICES ON SEINE AND GILL NET SALMON DESCENDED
 The Office of Price Administra- tion, in retroactive order effec- tive June 28, this week rescinded regulation which had caused a storm of protest from fishermen of Alaska.
 The regulation had placed max imum prices on gill net and seine caught salmon at levels asserted to be much lower than those pre- viously enjoyed by gill net and seine fishermen. The regulation had not applied to trap caught salmon, and inequality in this re- spect had been argued in protests made against the regulation. The Office of Price Administration had been informed that the regu- lation would be bound to lead to black market activities.

4 AFIT'TE sent other letters besides the one to
- Gov. Claiborne some apparently written by his
lawyer, Edward Livingston, one by Pierre Lafitte,
according to Lyle Saxon.
But the letter advising the American military
leaders of the British plan of attack could not
have been written by either. Livingston had
not yet become the pirates lawyer and Pierre
Laftte was being held prisoner.
There is more than little reason to suggest il
may have been phrased by the mysterious woman
of Barataria-the woman now believed to have
been the daughter of Aaron Burr.
Anyway, New Orleans was saved and Jean
Lafitte and his buccaneers were at length put
out of Louisiana. She is reported to have left
with the departing pirates and is known to have
been with them as late as 1916.
After that year there is no further reference
TO her She may have died In the malaria epidemic
that swept that entire region at the time she
may have been one of the many who became
victims of the catastrophe hurricane that de-
stroyed Campeachie.
But infinitely more important than that-who
was she? Was this gallant woman believed by so
many to have provided the margin of victory at
New Orleans an unknown American captive?
Was she the mysterious Mary Mornton or the
woman called Madam Del Norde?
Or, she TheodoSia Burr?
