AL. ATTACK
 ON BRADLEY

Gen. Eisenhower Says He Will Back VA Adminis-
 trator 10 Limit

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. - The American Legion's demand for the custer of Gen. Omar N. Bradley as Veterans Administrator ran into sharp opposition today from other veterans organizations, and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower pledged him support anywhere, anytime,
 Eisenhower told reporters he was not familiar with the Legion's de- mand for an investigation of Brad ley, but he considered the General one of the greatest living Americans.
 If General Bradley needs any support" he declared, "here is one who will fly anywhere, anytime to support him.
 Bradley said he would welcome the Congressional investigation which the Legion asked, and claimed def mite prograss had been made in his "short six months of stewardship"
 Members of Congress appeared chary about intervening in the con- troversy at this time. A few said they thought something was wrong with VAS functioning, but others countered that Bradley should be given a chance to show what he could do

War Department Makes New Ruling with Ger
 lain Qualifications

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The War Department hastened today to put all service wives on the same foot ing when it comes to joining their husbands in the occupation armies.
 Wives of privates, corporals, and sergeants were given equal rights with those of commissioned officers, master and first sergeants. technical sergeants and staff sergeants, who already had been offered free trans portation overseas.
 In all cases the husband must re- quest that his family be permitted to join him, and approval will be contingent on available housing, food and medical care. The hus- band must also agree to stay over seas at least year.
 The Department, announcing the change of plan yesterday, said at present the law does not permit free transportation within the United States of dependents of the enlist cd grades below staff sergeant. II added means is being sought tc get around this proyiso. The law does permit transporting these de- pendents on army ships free of charge except for meals. The aver age meal charge is about 25 cents

pecially in an old plant, is far less than the former rate base. In line with this, the Federal Power Com mission and the many State public utility commissions have reduced the rate base of utilities in America by nearly billion dollars, and are not through yet.
 For many years in Juneau you have heard the statement: Why buy the electric company, since they have to buy most of their electricity from the Alaska Juneau Gold Min ing Co., and if the A-J Company would refuse to sell electricity for the people of Juneau, then the owners of the electric utility, wheth- CT the present owners or under City ownership, would have to put in a million dollar system, diesel or hydro plant.
 A-J Will Sell To City
 "The REAL FACTS are these: The light company's hydro plant produces about half the electricity used in Juneau, the balance being bought from the A-J Company The IMPORTANT FACT is that the Alaska Juneau has, as is customary, 50-year permit from the Depart ment of the Interior and Agriculture to use Salmon and Annex Creeks water powers, which permit VERY PLAINLY STATES THAT TT IS GIVEN FOR PUBLIC USE AS WE'LL AS MINING USE: so there is TO occasion to worry about the A-J Company's cutting off the electric supply from the people of Juneau who have used it for about 30 years. Furthermore, as has been stated months ago by me in the press, the Al Company has advised us that they will sell electricity to the City if the City buys the cleo tric utility.
 We wish to repeat. our main ob- ject still is to buy the utilities at a 1 fair price, and operate them. The Black and Veatch appraisal is very necessary, as it is required by bond houses before they will bid on a utility bond issue.
 Much more information, con- cerning your utilities will be given from time to time.

The w Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON It was just a little over a year ago that the late Franklin Roosevelt waged a campaign to defeat Representative Ham Fish, rip-snorting isolationist Congressman from FDR's district along the Hudson.
 Roosevelt had tried to defeat Fish time after time. So had Gov ernor Tom Dewey, plus various other important figures in New York State, both Republicans and Democrats. They felt that Fish's t;e-ups with certain German-Am- ericans, and the renting of his home in New York to the Nazi consulate, was too much. So re- sponsible leaders of both parties went after him..
 Finally, in the November l944 elections, FDR's long campaign achieved it's goal. Ham Fish was defeated for reelection,
 But, believe it or not, the other day. Mrs. Truman, whose husband ran on the same ticket with FDR, invited Congressman Ham Fish to the White House for tea.
 Nobody knows why she did this, and the White House won't ex- plain. Mrs. Helm, social secretary to Mrs. Truman, admits that Fish was present, but flatly refuses to give the reason why.
 However, Ham Fish's friends Tn Nov York state are rubbing their hands in glee. They figure that this is the first step in staging Fish's carefully planned comeback

Benjamin Franklin's "Autobiog-
raphy" is one Of the great best
sellers OF all times; it has had at
least o hundred editions in the
last hundred years. That famous
book, however, is a mere fragment
of Franklins memoirs. 1t tells only
a part of the story Of his life up to
1757-and he lived until 1890.
benjamin Franklin'S Autobio-
graphical Writings" edited by Carl
Van Doren, fills out many of the
gaps. Mr.. Van Doren has added
letters and other personal writings
of Franklin's to the original Auto
biography" to fill out the years up
t. 1857, and then continued it with
other letters and writings up to
the time of Franklins death. Many
CT these writings have been out of
print for years; others are published
here for the first time.
Among the inclusions are much
neglected scientific letters, such as
the one describing his near cleo
trocution; a remarkable letter in
which he clears himself of a scam
dal in 1913: another written Just
after his fiftieth birthday from the
frontier In the midst of his cam
paign against the Indians; and a
fragmentary will.
