TWo-WAY PROPOSITION

When we think of the
black market, we are likely
to blame the operators only,
but we should bear in mind
that there would not be OPP
orators if they did not find
many men and women too
eager to buy black market
goods. !
Tuesday The Citizen pub
lished a story of the selling
of automobiles at twice
their OPA ceiling prices in
some instances. The govern
ment has stepped in to
break up the racket, but we
think there should be a law
Furnishing the buyers as we'll
as the sellers. as is the case
with bribers and bribed.
All sorts of tricks have
been used in selling autonle-
biles above { h ceiling
prices. The Citizen heard a
story of a dealer elsewhere
in Florida, who offered to
bet $500 that he could de-
liver a car of sueh-and-such
q make. In a good many
eases the bet was accepted,
the car was delivered, and
the seller pocketed the $500.
which represented his way
of black market dealing.
We have talked with a
good many Key Westers
who own oidish cars and
are wont to Joke, about them.
But those Key Westers,
while referring to their cars
as eggs, tin cans, draglines
and humble bees, assert
they will not purchase new
automobiles above the 0PA
price, which is, in excess of
what it was thought, sew
eral months ago. it would
be.
What is true of the black
market in ears is true also
of the black market in
meats-there can't be OPP
orators without buyers. And
the latter show just as much
disrespect for the law as do
the operators.
Black marketing is two-
way proposition, and The.
Citizen regards the buyer
to be as eulpable as is the
operator.

BAD MATHEMATICS

President Truman is faith
er of the thought and pio-
neer in the current proph-
eSy that the national budget
will be balanced the pres
ent fiscal year; nevertheless
he admits that the expendi-
lures of the government
will be 1900, 100000 over
the incoming revenues.
The public is being in
formed that all Federal
works will be deferred,
wherever possible. and there
are rumors (don't consider
them seriously that the
cost of running the govern
ment" will be lowered. with
hundreds of thousands of
public employees dropped
from the Federal payrollS,
Bad mathematics and ma
tional election troubles are
like Judy 0'Grady and the
Colonies lady sisters under
the skin"
Save up your money for
the tax collectors - they'll
take most of it, as usual.

TO LEND JAPS $4,000. 900

II aill surprise some peo-
Pile to hear that the United
States is arranging to lend
Japan about $30,00O.000 for
the purchase nf transporta-
ton. road-huilding and COM
munication equipment.
The loan was arranged
upomsthe request of General
Mae Arthur for the purpose
OF preventing disease and
unrest in attaining the OBJ
iectives of Allied oecupa-
ton.
There is nothing rong
with such b loan which, ac-
cordihg TO officials, I'M
wolves equipment whio h
would be loaned to the Jap
anese to help them clean up
debris and restore COM
munieations. Obviously. this
is necessary if the Japanese
are TO take care of their
country, Occupation costs
are now paid by the United
States and represent, in
themselves. something of a
loan To the defeated enemy
nation.
ii the cleaning up of de-
stroyed areas and the re-
Storation of essential trans
portation facilities will as
siSt in the rehabilitation
of Japanese economy. it
will probably save this ma
ton some money in eonnec-
ton with occupation eN-
penses, Moreover, as ia
pans economy Improves.
there will be a lessening de-
mand for assistance.

JUNEAU GARAGES GET MACHINISTS
 CHARGES RAISED

An increase ln maXlmum charges for machinists' and mechanical services has heen granted to Jul neau garages and machine shops, effective immediately, it was an- nounced today by the Price Division of the Alaska OPA, in Juneau.
 A joint application was submitted to OPA, showing increased wage and other operating costs and ex- penses which justified an increase over previous service charges, OPA stated.
 Under the terms of this adjust ment order, Juneau garages and machine shops are now authorized to charge $3 per hour for ma chinists and mechanic services. All other provisions of Revised Maxi mum Price Regulation 165 still re- main in effect, with the exception of their previous service charges, which this new order adjusts to $3 per hour.

LAVISH SCENES IN "MExICANA"
 CAPITOL FILM

Republics anniversary musical, "Mexicana," now playing at the Capitol Theatre, is the first pie ture to be produced and directed there by Al Santell, under his long term contract Constance Moore and Tito Guizar co-star, with supporting cast that includes Leo Carrillo, Howard Freeman, Jean Stevens, Estelita Rodriguez, Steven Geray and Guy Zanette.
 Lavis scenes were filmed on replica of the famous Palacio Thea tre in Mexico City with a 55-feet of proscenium and an arch 40 feet high. Stage depth was 90. feet. The set included three balconies and boxes in ornate design. The orchestra seated about 800.
 Walter Scharf, Republic music director, completed an elaborate score, with five speciality numbers for Constance Moore and as many for Guizar. The music was by Cab riel Ruiz, noted Mexican composer and Ned Washington.

JOHNSON OUTLINES
 ARR IMPROVEMENTS

Addressing the Anchorage Cham Der of Commerce this week, Col John P Johnson, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, disclosed recommendation he has submitted to Secretary of the Interior Julius Krug for improvement of the rail system
 Included is a five-year program for rehabilitation costing an esti- mated 3l,968,000, figured to result in an annual saving of $l,615,000, liquidating the capital investment in 20 years or less.
 Col. Johnson gave his opinion that the railroad could not be pri- vately operated-that it could not run without subsidization. The road is now operating at only 25 percent of capacity. he claimed.
 The ARR manager also said he does not want to stop the march of progress" and would be willing to see lifted the restricting clause forbidding cargo to enter Anchor age over Interior Department con- trolled ground. He said, however, he considers such a move, with it's necessary accompaniment of devel- opment of a Port of Anchorage, premature and added that the loss of revenue would hurt the railroad.

Juneau Garden Club Gives Up Plans for Coming Flower Show

The Juneau Garden Club held it's regular meeting yesterday at the home cf Mrs. Elton Engstrom with Mrs. Wellman Holbrook act ing as the hostess assisted by Mrs. A. H. Kingsbury.
 In the absence of Mrs. Charles Forward, President, who was i'll, Mrs. Josephine Boyd, Vice-Presi- dent, presided at the meeting.
 Because of the continuous rain during the past several weeks, the Club members decided to give up plans for the scheduled fall flow CT show. It was felt that the action of the rain upon most of the flow CTS would make it impossible to have a satisfactory display.
 One new member, Mrs. Helen Peterson, was taken into the Club.
 During the meeting, Miss Ann Coleman read paper concerning Fall Activities in the Garden" Following this a round table dis cussion was conducted on What To Do in the Garden Tn August and September" Upon the adjourn ment of the regular meeting, the hostesses served tea.
