Trap Site
 Limitation Would Bankrupt Alaska

SEATTLE, Feb. 8-P)-W. C. Arnold, managing director of the Alaska Salmon Ind sll y, Inc, said the proposal of Secretary of the Interior Ickes to limit each cor poration or individual to twenty fish traps in Southeastern Alaska this season would bankrupt the Territory and retard postwar de- velopment, and prospects for Statehood"
 Arnold said the salmon packers operating traps in Alaska waters would appear at the hearings called by the secretary for Febru- ary twenty-first. "We have no fear of the outcome" The state ment issued by Arnold "We are convinced when the secretary of the interior hears the true facts he will not issue the proposed regu- lation."
 Arnold's statement said the reg ulation also would disrupt the es- tablished channels of production and trade, and render valueless the millions of dollars of capital invested in Alaska, and would throw out laws and administrative policies of long standing, and put Seattle and Pacific Northwest concerns, which played a promin- ent part in the development of Alaska, out of business, and great ly curtail food production at a time when the entire world is fac ing a critical food shortage, as re- vealed by President Truman.

 At AClance .

Approximately 460,000 workers are idle in the continuing labor disputes. Major developments:
 Steel-Settlement of the nine teen day steel strike, the country's biggest work stoppage, affecting more than 85O,OOO workers ap- pears imminent. Government and union officials express hopes for a quick end as Truman cancels his planned vacation to Florida, to re- new efforts to settle the wage dis pute, reoffering the proposed 1872 cents hourly wage hike. The gov ernment is reportedly ready to of fer industry a price increase of about five twenty five a ton, the White House statement said. "Im- mediate critical situation involv- ing problems requiring his per sonal attention" led to the cancel lation of Truman's trip.
 Meat-The governments fact finding board recommends a 16 cent hourly wage increase in set ting the meat industry's wage dispute; eleven cents to be cov- cred by price increase or federal subsidy. The proposal is termed unfair to industry" by American Meat Institute.
 Shipping-AFL union leaders predict the thirty-five hundred tugboat men will ratify the terms of a proposal and end the five day walkout which has crippled shipping in New York harbor and sharply curtailed the city's fuel and food supplies.

Ickes Would Settle Alaska With Immigrants

WASHINGTON, Feb. B. -B- The proposal of Secretary Ickes to settle selected European immi- grants in Alaska will "never get first base" in Congress, Delegate Bartlett predicted in a recent statement.
 Ickes advocated the setting up of Alaskan development corpora tions to finance them through commercial channels of bringing European immigrants to Alaksa. Under Ickes' proposal they would receive aid from the corporation in getting settled and would have to remain in Alaska until they be- came naturalized citizens.
 Ickes predicted his plan would bring screams of protest" Bart lett replied he was not going to scream because he knew there was no chance of Ickes' proposal being approved. He said it was about the same proposal Ickes made before the war. Alaskans hoped it had been "decently bur jed long since"

Eleven Still
 UnaccOunted For In Yukon Disaster

KETCHIKAN, Feb. 8 - (P) -<- The number of persons rescued from the wreck of the Yukon stood at 486, the Alaska Steam ship Go. said in Seattle. Its list of those unaccounted for totaled IT. Barney O'Connor, of Northwest Medical Supply Co.,, Seattle, said the city's supply of penicillin was exhausted by the demands of the Seward hospital. Penicillin was found invaluable in the treatment of various exposure ailments sui fered by the men, women and children who were saved from the broken Yukon, O'Connor said.
 The Coast Guard said it was not releasing figures until the work of checking was completed, but Alas ka Lines information tallied with it's knowledge. Leslie Baker, spokesman for the line said those not accounted for were six mili-
  tary personnel, two crewmen and three civilian passengers, and that he wouldn't release the names as long as there was a possibility the people could be located among the survivors in Seward.
 Word was received today from Ken Rank that his mother is in the hospital, suffering from shock and bruises, and that his father was safe in the hotel with him.
 Word was also received from to- day from Ed Seidenverg, that the plane he was on was forced down at Hope, between Anchorage and Seward, and he had to take a car on into Seward and did not arrive there until this morning. He found his parents, MT. and Mrs. Leo Seidenverg, were safe, and was re- turning with them to Anchorage this afternoon.

From the London Daily Telegraph and Morning
Post.
We have lately had somewhat un-
dignified controversy, conducted mainly
on the other side of the Atlantic. over
the claims of this or that general to
have done most to win the war. Mont
gomery (whose claim would stand high
In any such contesD has swept aside
all such nonsense and advanced in
stead the candidature of the British
soldier as 'the man who bore the heayi-
est burden of the war and carried us all
to victory" Military men, with a few
outstanding exceptions, have not been
as good at commanding words as bat
tallons. Field Marshal Montgomery is
one OF the exceptions, and his apprecia-
ton Of the British soldier, whose quail
ties and achievements have too often

In this respect is the 81 per cent
Of the vote received by Governor
Hildreth in contrast to his 10 per
cent margin two years ago. He may
have hurt himself by advocating a
State veterans bonus plan which
was opposed by his CT Democratic
opponent and which was over
whelmingly rejected in a referen-
dunn by the thrifty Maine voters.
When the fullest allowance is made
for this, however, there seems to
be no reason for loud cheering in
the Republican camp. At best,
viewed from this distance, the re-
suits in Maine apparently point to
nothing more than fighting
chance for the COP to win the
House this fall.

The District Parole Board is for
tunate in obtaining the services of
Leo A. Rover. former United States
Attorney for the District of Colum-
bia, as successor to Frank r. Jelleff,
who has retired after II years of
outstanding membership on this i'm
portant board. Despite the pressure
of private business, Mr.. Jelleff de-
voted countless hours and boundleSs
energy to the vital task of aiding
men to re-establish themselves after
they had run afoul of the law. His
decision to retire caused widespread
regret. That citizen so well quail
fed for parole work rs Mr.. Rover
has accepted appointment to the va
cancy is gratifying to those who
know the burdens and the RESPONSE
bilities of the Office.
In his letter declining reappoint-
ment to the board Mr.. Jelleff has
called public attention to a serious
defect of the present makeup of the
parole organization, known officially
as the District Board of Indeter-
inmate Sentence and Parole This
is the lack of paid, full-time men,
Der, available "at all times for super
vision of the work and consultation
with members of families of pros
pective PAROLES" Under the exist
ing system, the members of the
board serve on part time basis and
receive no compensation for their
often arduous and perplexing duties.
Since the members invariably are
engaged in private businesses or pro-
fessions. it sometimes happens that
employees of the parole office are
delayed in obtaining decisions in
pending cases or signatures on i'm
portant papers requiring official
board approval. That so much has
been accomplished under this handi-
cap of part-time work is a tribute to
the unselfiSh devotion to duty of the
busy citizens who have agreed to
undertake this public service.
Reorganization of the board so as
to provide for full-time, salaried
member would require legislation. A
bill to effect this reform has been
submitted to the Commissioners by
the board. It's passage by the next
Congress would greatly facilitate the
administration of the parole system

Policy Cleared on Germany
BY Rayfn 0nd M0Iev

In any event, Byrnes makes it clear
that the United States is going to stav
in Europe. His emphasis on this is to
quiet German fear and Russian wish
1ul thinking that we shall presently be
getting sick of 1t all and Withdraw
across the Atlantic. This is a fact
upon which all hope of peace must
rest. 1t needs saying over and over.
1t will be disagreeable for the United
States to be put in position where
it essentially will be paying repara-
tions to a defeated enemy, but help
from us Is vital element in a policy
which is the only guarantee Of peace
The cost OF this, together with the cost
OF occupation, will be some hundreds
OF millions of dollars a year. Under
favorable conditions, 1t will be necessary
Tor fve years. The chances are that
1t viii be seven or eight years. No one
can tell exactly how long, because Rus
sia's purpose Is to make us nav as
much as possible toward Germany;s re-
covery, and SO the Soviet government
can well play for time. Russia still
holdS some millions of German work
ers and technicians as prisoners They
will be used to rebuild Russia. Mean
while Russian occupation, however
costly, pays dividends, for Russia is
holding productive land and valuable
industrial equipment.
And SO the long struggle to crush
Germany now passes into a new phase.
With Russia we prevailed over the
material body of Germany. Now in
rivalry, not altogether friendly. we
struggle to capture the German mind
There is irony in all this, but war itself
is paradox

COP Curries Maine

Since the Nation no longer neces-
sarily goes as Maine goes, the
September balloting in the Pine
Tree State has come to be watched
by the politically minded for signs
of trend, and it is on that basis
that the results of Mondays election
are being carefully appraised.
To the uninitiated, 1t is difficult
to see how either Of the major
parties can derive any particular
comfort from the outcome. 1t is
true that all of the important Re-
publican candidates won handily,
but the total vote was the lightest
cast since 1880 and the COP margin
of victory was hardly sufficient to
justify any extravagant claims by
the party strategists.
1t is a generally accepted PROPOSE
ton that a Republican majority of
around 70 per cent in Maine pre-
sages a COP landslide throughout
the country in November. On the
other hand, if the Republican vote
in Maine falls below IS per cent of
the total the chances are that the
Democrats will not lose ground
when the rest Of the country votes
two months later. There is nothing
mathematically certain about this,
OF course, but past experience tends
to support the proposition. For
example, in 1928, the year of the
Hoover landslide, the Republican
senatorial candidate in Maine re-
ceived slightly more than 10 per
cent OF the vote. But in 1880, when
Maine gave the COP candidate for
the Senate 81 per cent of the vote,
the Democrats all but captured con-
troll of the House in November. In
1886, when Franklin Roosevelt car
ried every State except Maine and
Vermont, Maine gave COP Senator
White a meager 81 per cent of its
vote. When the same Senator ran
again in 1912, however, he received
81 per cent of the Maine vote and
the COP in November fell only nine
votes short of carrying the House.
With these statistics as a back
ground, and keeping the light vote
in mind, the "a per cent of the vote
polled on Monday by Senator Brew
ster does not seem especially signifi-
cant of anything. 1t is gain over
his 1910 margin of S. per cent, but
it can hardly be said to herald a
Republican triumph two months
from now. Even more suggestive

Lining Up the Suckers

Howard Hughes, the versatile
moving picture producer, has sought
to build himself up in the eyes of the
public as champion of the freedom
Of the theater and a bold defender
of the publics right to pass its own
Judgment on what sort of moving
pictures it shall see.
But as matter of fact his con-
troversy with the Motion Picture
Association over his film, THE Out
law"-which has been going on since
1941-makes him out rather cheap
exploiter of SensationaliSm. The as
ISOLATION, which has just removed its
certificate of approval of the picture,
should stick to its guns.
The interesting thing about this
controversy is that the picture itself
is not considered Objectionable.
What was Objectionable and led to
disapproval of the picture was Mr..
Hughes alleged violation of the rules
in advertising it. The tone of the
advertising was that here, in "The
Outlaw" was something very very
naughty, something that successfully
def1ed the efforts of the censors to
keep it from the screen. Those who
have seen the picture report that it is
Second-rate western" with about
as much sex appeal as Roy Rogers
horse Trigger. Nor will Mr.. Hughes
get very far in fussing about censor
ship. In the motion picture industry
the censorship is voluntary and self
imposed, not so much in protection
of the public as in protection of the
industry itself against the bad taste
and stupidities Of its own members.
II Mr.. Hughes wants to violate such
censorship, the most he is doing is to
cut off his nose to spite his face.
The practical thing that Mr..
Hughes can accomplish for himself
in his battle with the Motion Picture
Association is to make some money,
because he has already built up a
public curiosity over the picture. But
the only principle that Mr.. Hughes
Is standing for is the old principle,
discovered long ago by P. T. Barnum
and others, that sucker is born
every minute and if you can con-
vince enough Of them that they are
seeing something on the shady side
OF decency you can really pack
them In.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thomtson

parts OF Russia, but it could not con-
quer 1t, and meanwhile the Russian
armies would probably be advancing into
Europe. Our small forces in Europe
actually would be hostage in the hands
OF the Soviets, who have some two mil
lion men there already, not counting
the army of Tito.
Given war, shall we drop atomic
bombs on Paris-or on the Germany
Mr.. Byrnes is trying to conciliate?
The purpose of any future war will be
that OF this last one-to end sovereign
war-making powers. That will be both
the American and Russian purpose, the
one through organized freedom, the
other through domination. But from
Dumbarton Oaks onward we have shown
no understanding of what that takes.
1t would still, however, seem wiser to
have showdown on this issue than
on any other
So far, also, we have presented the
world, since the war, with no indication
OF capacity to manage our own affairs
AS Mr.. Byrnes spoke in Stuttgart our
ports were strikebound and no supplies
could move to our forces in Europe or
the Far East. We are on the verge of
disastrous imitation. The economy is
in chaos.
Nor have We ever shown a grasp of
the necessities of Europe. While Mr..
Byrnes was repudiating the "pastorali-
zation" theory regarding Germany. he
could hardly repudfate the fact that
this theory was born, not in Moscow,
but in the American Treasury Depart
ment, nor deny that American military
government has steadily operated under
the notorious directive 1867.
According to Joseph Alsop, writing
from Germany to the New York Herald
Tribune Syndicate, American Commun-
lists and sympathizers found important
posts in the economic control and in
formation divisions, and even in the
counterlntelligence of our military gov
eminent in Germany. Actually, heard
an information official say in Salzburg
TO several members of the American
press over year ago that the Sovietiza-
tlon OF Germany would be a good thing.
And he was charged to pick newspaper
editors!
In Canada a spy plot has been I'M
covered, full details of which-7OO pages
are published in report of an in
vestigating royal commission. It reads
IKE gangster story Of the widest kind.
AND Canada is lots nearer than the
Dardanelles.
United States power could be sufficient
to command universal respect and. If
necessary. fear. But that presumes a
restoration OF American unity, intelli-
gence. imagination, and a much cleaner
record than that of the past year.
