Gold Bridgework
Traded For Food

Back home after nearly four
years in Japanese prison camp,
Capt. Fred l. Nystrom, veteran
Seattle steamship captain, said he
probably owes his life to the gold
he had in his bridgework.

vatiOn," the captain explained.
But 1 sold the gold from my
bridgework for 1000 yen, which
enabled me to buy a duck each
day from the black market"
Captain Nystron, was skipper of
the freighter, Admiral Y. S. Will
liams when the vessel was trapped
in Hongkong by invading Japan
csc. He was held in the prison at
Sham ST Pu, China, for three years
and eight months.

Eighty Piekers
By Chatwood Hall

TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, Sept.
25 (ANP)-Russia's S new improved
cotton picking machine can do the
work Of 80 cotton pickers. This ul-
tra-modern agricultural machine is
being assembled at Chirchik agri-
cultural machinery factory.
The new machine, which was
constructed by group of engin-
eers of the Tashkent branch of the
all-union agricultural machinery
building industry, gathers ripe cot
ton from the boil which spindles
horizontally while encircling it's
own axis. A demonstration ma
chine gave excellent results. One of
these machines will replace 80 cot

specialists in agriculture, worked
some years in Uzebekistan to help
improve agriculture, especially cot
ton culture in the central Asiatic

President Truman Has Failed
To Indicate How The
FEPC Will Continue
By Ernest E. Johnson

WASHINGTON, Sept. rs
(ANP)-President Truman has
failed to indicate how he intends to
continue the FEPC through the per-
iod of reconversion in spite of his
promise, both to the committee and
in his message to congress.
Meanwhile, the committee is in a
dilemma as to what to do, first with
cases pending before it and, second,
with regard to it's own future.
Five members of the committee
called on the President on August
22 and handed him a memorandum
containing proposal for handling
the work of the group. He assured
them he would give serious consid-
Grafton to their proposals and that
they would hear from him by a
specified date. According to the
highest authority, that date has
come and gone and the chief execu-
tive has not yet indicated the pro-
cedure he intends following.
In his message to congress on
Sept. President Truman stated
that ''the FEPC is continuing dur
ing the transition period" He ex-
pressed his support for permanent
FEPC legislation also but did not
seek to give the impression that
this was the method he had in mind.
When the committee met on Sept.
5 it was with the hope that they
would be able to continue their job
on the basis Of the Presidents ex-
pected decision, but that decision
was not before them. 1t is now pos
sible to disclose that at that meet
ing three alternatives were consid-
cred in terms of the future:
l. The committee might devote
all.of it's energies to enforcement of
the non-discrimination policy in
government. When the war ended
this was the only area of jurisdic-
ton left to the committee.
2. The committee might proceed
in the manner it had been following
for the past four years until it runs
into an open challenge that it is ex-
ceeding it's authority.
3. Finally, it might just pub
licly state that it is closing up shop,
and go out of business.
Whatever decision is made, eth
er by the President or the members
of the committee, must be made in
light of its effect upon the fight for
permanent legislation. FEPC
knows that it must advise the chief
executive on this point.
At the same time, it is acknow-
lodged too that the President is be-
ing influenced by others who also
have his ear, notably the attorney
general to whom he would naturally
look for legal opinion.

Drive Starts With $7OOO

The first team of Victory Vol unteers to report to chairman O. A. Torgerson in the current canvass conducted in the Vic- tory Bond Drive were Roy Sny- der and Carl Pajoman, and with theit task still incompleted they sold over $7000 in bonds. Other teams plan to start next week.
 The goal for Kodiak in the drive, which lasts until Dec. 8, is $35,000.
 Emphasis is being placed in this campaign on the need for funds, to counteract any opinion that with the war over the bond sales are not so important
 The money is needed, it is stated, for: l-debts incurred by cost of the war 2-maintaining an Army and Navy until order is restored 3-mustering out pay 4-cost of bringing armed forces home 5-medical care for 500, 900 6-reconversion.
 And bonds are still doing their work in preventing imitation, and in providing a safe investment.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD- The $150,000 earmarked for a post office site and building for Kodiak is included in legislation designed to grant authority to the Public Buildings Administra- tion to purchase sites, prepare working drawings and specihca- tions and construct those build ing projects most essential to ef- ficlent operation of the federal government.
 Commissioner of Public Build ings, W. E. Reynolds, points out that the inclusion of building in the eligible ist is not an lndi- cation that a recommendation for Its construction is to be ex- pected Tn the near future, as many may not be constructed for years.
 But under the legislation the Public Buildings Administration will be able to start construction of those buildings having high priority and will do all prelimin- aly work on the others.
 1 hen if it is judged in the pub- lie interest to undertake a large scale Federal building program to combat a recession, the gov ernment will be in a position to do so.
