GH0STLY GLOW
 INVESTIGATION
 DIGS UP ONIONS

Inquiries by the curious, regard ing mysterious glow of light from the south side of the Day Apartment building on Seventh Street, between Gold and Franklin, during early morning hours have elicited the following disclosure:
 The ghostly gloow emanates from an especially-designed "hot frame dimensioned about five by seven feet, enclosed in glass and with a small, but deep pit in the center in which is located a common ordinary kerosene lantern which is used to heat the interior. The bed within the enclosure was planted with flowers and garden seeds-including onion sets, lettuce kohlrabi and radishes-on April H. by Fred Geeslin, who is looking forward to his first crop in less than month.
 Later on, this improvised green house will be used for growing to- matoes and cucumbers, it is re- vealed by Juneau's Victory Garden committee.

Gold vs. NatiOnalism
(New York Times)

r. (New York Times)
 The monetary plan embodied in the Breton Woods agreements Lord Keynes assured the House of Lords is 'he exact opposite" of the gold standard Now the international gold standard when it was in
 it's fullest operation in the early part of the present century, represented the closest form of international economic and monetary cooperation that the modern world has ever achieved Through it the value of each nations currency tied in with that of all the rest Through it, likewise each nations economy was tied in with that of the rest of the world. r
 Yet a strange situation has arisen in recent
 months is the bankers and others who are critical lof the Breton Woods Fund Agreement-in part, pre- cisey because they fear that it really is the exact opposite" of the gold standard-who are today being denounced in some quarters "isolationists and enemies of international cooperation It is some of the very people who are insisting on the Breton Woods Fund Agreement, on the other hand many of them precisely because they believe that it will permit the continuance of managed inconvertibe paper money systems who try to arrogate to themselves alone the title of "internationalists."
 This strange paradox is brought out in a review in the Political Science Quarterly of Prof Edwin K Kemmerers book Gold and the Gold Standard" As Professor Kemmerer points out the most international standard is gold while the most national is paper or some other non-god currency.
 nation that formerly adhered to the interna- tional gold standard, it is true, did not sign any formal document of monetary cooperation with other nations but the cooperation none the less real and thoroughgoing nation that wished to stay on the gold standard had to keep its own currency stable in terms of gold. To do this it had to make it's cur rency convertible demand into definite and fixed quantity of gold To make that it's promise of converbility would be kept it had to keep its budget in reasonable balance and see to it that an natonary expansion of bank credit did not take place within its borders It had to allow freedom of gold export To make sure that this did not drain it of gold 1t had to maintain two-sided trade balance It could not take its economy far out of line with the world as to cut off it's exports and take in too great an excess of imports.
 It is precisely because the gold standard did have these international implications that nationaists and the advocates of domestic managed economies ana o1 auarchy were opposed to it. It is no accident that the literature of nazism is so full of denunclatons o the gold standard and of international bankers. v But now, in topsyturvy argument it is the bankers who are being denounced, not as internationallsts but as solationsts because they prefer restoration the international gold standard to system under which nation individually would be free to follow whatever unsound policies it wished, while the na- tions collectively would have to bail it out of the difficulties into which it fell as a consequence.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE

Don't forget that today marks the opening of The Salvation Army drive to raise the modest sum of S4 200 to enable this service organization to function effectively in Juneau for the next year.
 Of all of the too few such organizations which have proved so helpful during the war The Salvation Army ranks high, not only at home but on the battle field.
 In England where our soldiers must have place to sleep before being granted leaves from camp, The Salvation Army always has room for one more. The Army's chaplains among those attending the spiritual needs of those on the very battlelines.

GET SET NOW FOR VICTORY GARDENS
 SAYS COMMITTEE

With the armed forces requiring more and larger food shipments, Victory Gardens are a must" this year, according to the Juneau Victory Garden Committee. Every pound of food grown locally aids in the war effort, it is declared.
 The committee urges everyone to grow garden this summer. Peas, lettuce, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, potatoes, kohlrabi, bets, turnips, onion sets and many other vege- tables grow well in Southeast Alaska, the committee says. It is announced that the Victory Garden plots in the Burridge Tract, two miles from Juneau on the Glacier Highway, will again be available for this year and persons having assignments in tbe tract last year will be permitted to use their same plots again this summer Vacant plots in the tract will be assigned to new applicants. George Brothers have leased their farm at Salmon Creek, so Victory Garden CTS using parts of that land last year will have to find garden plots elsewhere.
 Any person having excess lands suitable for Victory Gardens, and those who have no land but are desirous of doing a bit of Victory Gardening, are asked to call Miss Gayle Tomlinson, telephone 779, be- tween the hours of 8 a. m. and j5 p. m. However, it is requested that wherever possible arrange ments be made directly between land owners and prospective gard enerS.

Under Secretary of War Patterson bucked him on this, and the Army tried to whitewash it's own derelic- ton. But Truman stood his ground. And in the end, the guilty officers were court martialed.
 Though it was called the Truman Committee, actually, it operated as a team. Truman believes in team work, and teamwork between all his Cabinet members and Administra- tive agencies will now be the chief goal of the little man who didn't want to be president.

COURAGEOUS SENATOR

Though Harry Truman dreaded the possibility of becoming Presl- dent, as Senator he never ran aWey from a fight.
 ! His chief Senatorial battles were as Chairman of the so-called Iru- man Committee. The name resulted from Harry's crusading determine ! tion to investigate war scandals or anything else interfering with the war. Harry was so fervent that even Republicans on the Committee came to admire and respect him. Republican Senator Ferguson of Michigan, one of the most fearless men in Congress, joined the Com mittee under the impression that Truman was playing politics. He soon learned to the contrary. If the Administration was to blame, Tru- man said so Ferguson came to be a rooter on the Truman team.
 Time after time also, Truman stood up against the Army and Navy Some Senators put their tails between their legs where the brass hats are concerned. But Tru- man made Gen. B. B. Somervell writhe in anguish over the Senate blasts against the Army's uneco- nomical pipeline to carry oil over the Arctic wastes.
 He also told the truth about Jesse Jones delays in providing synthetic rubber, exposed the secret deal with the Aluminium Corpora tion for the Shipshaw plant in Canada, prodded the Navy for fail ing to accept the Higgins landing craft, thus delaying the European invasion.
 Truman's Committee also goadeo the Army about its terrific waste of food, called attention to the way dollar-a-year men in the War Production Board were favoring their own companies, and revealed the disastrous delays in aluminium and steel production.
 One of his most significant battles was with the War Department over some cracked airplane engine cyl finders built by the Wright Company at Cincinnati which had been passed by Army inspectors. At first

the Morrison Hotel. Walking down crowded State Street, Truman re- iterated to friends that he didn't want the job. He was nervous, tense, and worried.
 "Why don't you go into night club and have a drink??" advised a friend.
 NO, I don't think I will said Truman, T think I'll just duck Ill and see a movie"
 He did.
 Next day, when the Vice-Presi- dential ballot was finished, the owl-like little man from Missouri was seated on a box behind the rostrum eating hot-dog and drinking a bottle of pop as voice came over the microphone: Will the next Vice-President of the United States please come to the rostrum?" The voice had to boom out several times before Harry Truman, the man who didn't want to be President, laid down his pop bottle and reluctantly came to the microphone.

INSIDE STORY OF CHICAGO

Like Calvin Coolidge. Truman has been the product of political mir acles. The first, was when Boss Pendergast of Kansas City picked him, a totally unknown country judge, to run for the Senate seat of the famous Jim Reed. The other was when he was tapped for the Democratic Vice. Presidential nomi- nation last summer in Chicago.
 That fateful hour found Truman emotionally disturbed, reluctant, to- tally unprepared.
 It has never been revealed, but Truman's first inkling that Roose- welt wanted him came while he was sitting in his room at the Black stone Hotel. The phone rang. Some one answered it, told Truman that Hopkins was on the phone.
 "Hopkins!' he exclaimed, ther remarked that it must be Hopkins the hotel man in Kansas City.
 He strode to the phone, there was a moment O1 silence. It was unt Harry Hopkins telling Truman that Roosevelt. wanted him as his run ming mate. Truman seemed dazed But recovering, he said.
 T don't want the job. I don't think they're serious. I'll wait unti I hear it from the Chief himself.
 Late that night, with the con- ventionf on the verge of three cornered deadlock, Truman wal again back in his room when he received another call-this time from the President
 Hello, MT. President" Truman said, How are you?"
 There was a pause.
 But what should l do, MT President? I don't quite know what to say" were Truman's next words
 Stay in there and pitch, Harry, Roosevelt replied. 'Everythings go- ing to be OK"
 OK" answered Truman, If you say so. I'll stay in there"

turned his head away from the table for moment and then said
 T think I'll have a talk With Harry (Truman) tomorrow. Hes got to be prepared to carry tre- mendous burden. He's got to get himself ready for this
 Next afternoon, about three, even as Franklin Roosevelt was entering his last hour of life, Rayburn called over to Truman's office in the Senate, said he wanted to see the e-President. Truman said he'd drop over when the Senate recessed He had just arrived to see Rayburn when word came from Steve Early that the event which Truman so long dreaded, finally had transpired.

Those are the words of Mrs. Ruby

The center, eventually to be

Therell be reading and writing

Mrs. Blackburn said the impelling
motive behind the movement was
to foster "a goodwill relationship
between employer and employe in
the field of domestic service"
And by so doing, We'll take the

juvenile delinquency, educate our
people against flim-flam artists and

The foregoing will be the natural
result, she said, of a people earn

that higher wages can be earned,
