The War Production Boards action in finally lifting the ban it had enforced gold miningalone of all indust1ies-s indeed good news, far it goes The concensus of informed opinion is that it doesn't go much of anywhere.
 But it is good news if only for two First, the action indicates turn toward normal conditions of free enterprise Second it revokes what is gen. erally considered injustice Gold mines unique in being singled out as a complete sacrifice to the prosecution of the effort It is difficult to see why such harsh treatment as they been subjected to was necessary
 Few will argue that gold mines contributed enough to the effort to any special consideration in the way of priorties but most fair minded persons feel that they could have been treated on the same basis with other nonwar industrieslef to shift for themselves best they could as long as they did hinder carrying the battle to the enemy. With out priorities for securing of and replacement of equipment they likely would not have been much of a factor but least their right to exist at all would not have been denied them
 However, right or wrong the ban has been lifted effective the first of next month Gold mines are told they may operate if they can. That's the catch-very, very few of them
 Aside from discharged veterans of this war, who are free to work where they wish, there few workers eligible to accept employment in gold mines And the general of wages prevailing in the gold mining industry is not at level to attract veterans those others who free to work in the mines Gold mines for the most part have been completely shut down They must go into the short labor market and recruit practically 100 percent labor if they would resume operation. That's an almost impossible obstacle as beginning but it's far from the only
 Testimony the last legislative session here when the proposed income tax act being considered in the Senate, revealed the plight of most of Alaskas mines at least. Placer operations have had good share of their equipment stripped from them. Drag lines and bulldozers were pressed into service Other placer equipment and almost all the operating facilities of lode mines were beyond efficiency before the shutdown order was invoked Re- placements not available, and will not be for a good many months, were the mines granted priorities-as they distinctly have not been

LAPS YEARN FOR USA

Naval officers who talked with hard-hitting editor Palmer Hoyt of the Portland Oregonian after his trip to Two Jima got some inter- esting ideas on Jap psychology and what it may take to persuade the Japs to surrender.
 Hoyt had the unique experience of interviewing 200 Jap Navy land- ing troops just taken prisoner on Okinawa. They were considered crack troops, especially selected for their size and intelligence, and Hoyt was amazed to hear that what they wanted most was to go to the United States and become naturalized citizens.
 Reason for this was that, for them, life had ceased at home. Any Japanese who is taken prisoner is considered dead He can never go home. A curtain has shut down between him and everything in OoPo4A+ N14lh AlltSt HIGH, lldNlllB llO future wanted to come to the United States.
 However realizing that they probably would not be accepted ! here, their next hope was that the United States would take over some mid-Pacific island and let them live there as wards of the USA.
 While the 200 prisoners were being interviewed by Hoyt, they kept looking. fascinated, at Ameri- can bulldozers preparing an airbase a few yards away. They had been told by their commanders that the fate of every Jap prisoner is to have an American bulldozer run him over. However, no bulldozer came their way.
 Hoyt concluded from his talks that some way must Joe found to persuade Japanese troops that they will not be mistreated once they

all of them, make poor reading But, the facts men, toned should be enough to show that there is little to be expected right away-at least in Alaska from the reversing of the order suspending the operations of gold mines. Perhaps of the California dig eines may be in a better position to resume Cutting back of aircraft and ship contracts may ease their manpower difficulties that they can do haywire job of mining with what facilities they have on hand but that's about all that be looked for right now
 The lifting of the ban does, however put mine owners in better position to start looking ahead, to ready themselves for the day when every employment possibility of the Nations industries will receive favor able attention in the effort to absorb the slack of swing -shifters whose war jobs have vanished They may place their orders for tractors new mill equipment supplies of powderpace their orders and wait for their turn to come up-when the men are ready perhaps the materials will be too.
 At least--it would seem--the darkest years for the gold mining industry are past.

to give him everything he wants In fact, he's having considerable difficulty getting full-scale inves- tigation of the purchase of the Nashville Tennessean, even though it is being pushed by McKellar's great pal, Nevada's Pat McCarran, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
 The Nashville Tennessean has been a leader in the fight against the Tennessee poll tax, and the powerful political machine headed by McKeilar's political sponsor, Boss Ed Crump. So McKellar is out to persecute the paper by in- vestigating it's original purchase.
 The investigation, of course, is supposed to be made by the very impartial" Senate Judiciary Com mittee. But Sen. Scott Lucas of Illinois had some idea of who was master-minding the project, and. as Chairman of the Audit and Control Committee, he refused to grant the s5,OOo requested for the investigation. Instead, he allowed only s3,o00 McCarran has now re- turned to Washington after his long absence in the West and col leagues are wondering what his next move will be in this back scratching job for brother Nickel lar.

 It was at this tightly deadlocked moment that Harry Hopkins final ly advised Truman that the thing to do was stop writing notes and have someone put his feet under the same table with Stalin and talk things out instead
 Result: Hopkins persuaded Stalin to reverse his previous firm stand from which he had said he could not budge an inch.

There S Bitterness
in St. Louis Today
BY BOB MURPHY
Sports Editor

Baseball doesn't seem TO be.
doing itself any good in ST. Loui
The deal that sends Mort Cooper
TO the Braves certainly must
serve to embitter the fans towards
the St. Louis Cardinals.
. And it's likely thing that
Walker Cooper will follow in the
footsteps of his brother when he
gets out of service. The two are
inseparable.
1t isn't bright chapter in base
ball-this Cooper brother thing.
The story is that Mort and
Walker signed for $12, 900 ceiling
and then learned that Marty
Marion, the clubs shortstop had
been boosted to $4,000.
II isn't the fashionable thing
these days for an athlete TO argue
about his salary, particularly
when il is up in the five figure
group. But the thing that burned
the Coopers was the run-around
they figure they got from owner
Sam Breadon of the Cards.
