NEW ALASKAN DAILY

Editor Sid Charles of the Ketchikan Fishing News, formerly thrice weekly publication, has finally made the grade after 10 years of trying, he says and is putting a full-fledged daily newspaper that would be asset to any community.
 From all reports from Ketchikan the new daily is really going and Sid is going to make the grade in what is always tough business venture
 We offer our congratulations, which are a little late since the event took place several weeks but we know Sid won't mind. Some odtimers in Juneau may remember that Sid at one time associated with The Empire and we know he's a good news paperman.

stands in a city so no other paper can be sold.
 Twice before, the Justice Depart ment has started to break up the movie monopoly, but each time outside higher-ups in the persons of Jimmy Roosevelt and Harry Hopkins have intervened.
 So Donald Nelson inquired of Truman just where he stood on the motion picture case, and whe- ther the compromise consent de- cree proposed by the movie moguls, which hushes the whole thing, was in conformity with Truman's past record on antitrust.
 The President replied emphatic ally that it was not. In this case he seemed ready to go further than FDR. He said he wanted no com promises.
 "The case will go to trial,' he said, "or else"

HOROSCOPE "The st0rs incline
 bat do not compel"
WEDNESDAY,, OCTOBER 3

Strong benefic aspects dominate today which is promising to trade and commerce. Constructive work is well directed.
 HEART AND HOME Women are under the best plane tary influences today. This is a promising date for girls who seek artistic careers; it is favorable for actresses, fortunate for love affairs and lucky wedding day.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Manufacture of pottery is to be- come major industry in the United States, especially in the West. Grad ually the production of decorated china as beautiful as any for which European countries were famous will be developed on broad scale.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Decay of good manners is widely evident at this time. A study of juvenile delinquency reveals that few children are taught the basic rules of human conduct. Manners belong as much to the heart as to the head; lack of them signifies the need of careful training.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Faultfinding by Europeans who have been beneficiaries of Uncle Sam will be common as winter ap- breaches. The magnitude of the task of feeding and looking after millions of war victims will be over looked by those who indulge in dis content.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of waiting for plans to materialize. A period of growth is indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be clever, aspiring and able to win friends. Boys will engage in early love affairs.

more important test cases than any other appeals court in the nation
 However, even after Miller was confirmed by the s enat te, he ap- peared last week before the Federal Power Commission on behalf of the Kentucky Natural Gas Con- pany.
 This makes it unanimous For both of the other two judges Tru- man appointed to this important appeals court, ex-Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri and Barrett Prettyman, also have been attor- neys for the big power companies or have been anti-public power.
 (Note-Bennett Clark was de- feated for the Senate by the people of Missouri last year after many bitter years of isolationist opposi- tion to Roosevelts foreign policy. However, he worked valiantly for Truman's nomination at ChicagoD

 MOVIE MOGULS
 Last week galaxy of the most powerful moguls of the movie world paid a visit on Attorney General Tom Clark. Probably no more high priced men ever entered the At torney Generals. office at one time before in history. The group in cluded:
 Barney Balaban, head of Para mount; Albert Warner of Warner Brothers; Nick Schenck of Metro Goldwyn- Mayer; Spyros Skouras, head of 20th Century Fox; and Peter Rathbone, head of RKO.
 They entered Clark's office, laid brief on his desk and departed. The visit lasted exactly six minutes.
 Since the salaries of these movie moguls average around $200,000 a year each without bonuses or stock dividends, and since they were accompanied by battery of legal counsel probably drawing from $50,000 to $100,OO0 annually each, it was estimated that this six minute session, including travel time from New York, cost $25, ,000.
 The brief they handed Clark op- posed the governments trust suit against the movie industry

behind American lines as American soldiers.
 It will be remembered that later Nazi troops were found dressed in American uniforms behind our lines.
 Col. Dickson even reported a map showing villages where German re- serves were billeted in preparation for the Belgian Bulge attack. And he urged that they be bombed out immediately. This recommendation was never followed. If it had been, the story of tragic American losses would have been different.
 Instead, the Twelfth Army Group wrote a report on Dec. 12, refuting Col Dickson's report of Dec. 10. It replied that such an attack could not happen.
 Later, on Dec Is, SHAEF, the headquarters of Gen, Eisenhower, wrote a G-2 appreciation" stating that a German surprise attack could not happen. However, Dec. 16, the date of this report. was the actual day it did happen.
 So, later in the day, SHAEF hastily withdrew this appreciation" and substituted three other pages in it's report. The original report, therefore, may not be available to a Congressional Committee. How ever, if the Senate asks for the after action" report on the Bulge Battle, it will find that it contains in black and white the story of how the Army was warned the Nazi attack was coming, and was even urged to bomb the waiting German reserves. but completely ignored that warning.
 CNote-U. S. casualties in the Bulge were 6o,0oO compared with less than 5000 at Pearl Harbor)
 TRUMAN DESERTS FDR
 How drastically Harry Truman and Attorney General Tom Clark are deserting one of Franklin RooSevelt's principles was indicated by a recent incident which few people noticed.
 One of the great battles Roose- welt fought was against the big utility companies. But the other day, judge appointed by Truman To one of the most important courts fin the country handled a case, even after his confirmation, on behalf of one of the big power companies. He is Judge Wilbur Miller, recently appointed to the U. s. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which handles

Secret of Atomic Bomb Should Be Buried, Says Crosby

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. Larry Crosby, who as president of brother Ping's Research Foundation, aided in the development of the atomic bomb, says he believes the United States should bury the weapons secrets at once.
 Larry announces that the Founda- tion had devised a practical defense against the atom bomb. He said the technique was so simple that the bombs could be detonated without knowing their exact whereabouts.
 The Crosby Foundation turned out quite a few items that had big eff feet in the war One of them, says Larry, was the dispersal system in the fire bombs that raised so much havoc in Japan. That was an in- volved mechanism in the M-79 aim able cluster incendiary bomb that spread fire over wide areas.
 Since 1940, in fact, the Foundation has been devoting most of it's en- ergies to the war effort. Bing and Larry have sunk quite bit of money into gadgets, some of which definitely helped shorten the war.

SOFT BALL CHAMPIONS

It's always a pleasure, as we've said on several previous occasions in this column, to welcome members of the Army Air Force to our USO. There's even something extra added to such pleasure when the Air Corpsmen happen also to be stars in some field of sport.
 One such group is in Juneau right now. .Militarily speaking, they are members of the 404th Bomb Sq. GID AAF. Athletically speaking, they are members of the 1945 Soft Ball Champions of all of Alaska. As the prize for the victory they were giv- en furloughs here.
 The team is composed of the fol- lowing players: Wayne Johnson, Bob Crumrine, Roy Stutz, Bob Bruck- ner, George Alvey, Jack Feeley, Bob Mezich, Frank Dumble. Dwight An derson, Bill Remphrey, Clifford Whitlock, Joe Jones, and Sam Myer- son. The manager is John Lay, and the officer in charge is It. James
