Alaska would be advertised in the communities from which these teachers come.
 High Enrolment
 Besides being the centrally-lo- cated city of Southeast Alaska, Ju- neau has a higher student enroll ment potential than any other city in the section. Besides it's own comparatively large number of an- nual high school graduates, the city could draw effectively on student enrolment from nearby commun- ities such as Ketchikan, Wrangell. etc. Statistics on enrolment at the University in Fairbanks show that the largest percent of it's students come from Fairbanks. It is there fore indicated that the branch should be established in the city with the largest number of annual high school graduates.
 All this is in addition to Ju- neau's advantages in good living conditions, transportation, museum and library facilities, and the fact that as the capital city it offers untold opportunities in research on political science and official facts of the entire Territory.
 Work Outlined
 The report recommends that the first two years of such a project be limited to Junior College cur riculeum with the study of basic subjects. A junior year course of study should Ee added the third year, and senior course the fourth year.
 In making the motion for adop- ticn of the recommendation, Dr. w. M. Whitehead said: Tt has long been my belief that the two most important things to consider in building a nation, state or Terri tory are the raising of families and the education of them. Education is the backbone of progress. I be lieve the report excellently deline- ates the present situation and I move for it's adoption, and also that copies of the report be sent to members of the Board of Regents, the Legislature, the University Of Alaska's Investigating committee, and all other interested parties"

Many Advantages Are Sci Forth in Report to
 Local {. of {.

1 Juneau Chamber of Commerce voted today to go on record fav- bring this city as location for the i proposed branch of the University of Alaska in Southeast Alaska. I Preceding and open forum on the subject at the Chambers regular 1 luncheon meeting in the Baranof this noon, the full report outlining ! reasons and specific advantages pertinent to the establishment of such branch in centrally located Juneau was reread by Ava Black erby. The report was previously presented to the Chamber by its ! Special Committee on the Advis- ibility Of a University Branch in Juneau. which is composed of MT. Blackerby, Ken Alexander and A. E Karnes.
 Advantages
 Among the numerous points cov- cred in the report are: branch university would result in larger number of high school graduates who would have chance to achieve higher education, would al- low Southeast Alaska's adults to obtain a college education, would bring into the section more better type citizens, would tend to keep families from moving Outside to educate their children, and would keep college education monies from going to the States for the edu- cation of Alaskans. as well as bring in funds from students enrolling from the Outside. A summer school session for teachers would bring hundreds of teachers into the Territory every summer and would attract visiting professors. In turn

GENTLE RID. Moving over to the
u. S., here is a story that good
natured South Dakotans have prob
ably told on themselves for years -
though it's new to us:
The average South Dakota citizen
gets up at the alarm of a Connecticut
clock, buttons his Chicago suspenders
to his Detroit overalls, washes in
Pittsburgh basin with Cincinnati
soap, dries on a cotton towel made in
New Hampshire, sits down at
Grand Rapids table, eats biscuits
made with Minneapolis -four cooked
on St. Louis stove, claps on hat
made in Philadelphia, harnesses his
Missouri mule, fed on Iowa corn, to
an Illinois plow. At night he crawis
under a New Jersey blanket and is
kept awake by a South Dakota hog -
the only home product on the place.

ADoUT-FACE. Ten years ago the
Mexican village of Forth de las
Flores was miserable, down-at-the-
heels huddle of adobe and grass huts.
Today it's a lovely vacation hide-out
and thriving agricultural and busi-
ness community.
Responsible for this miraculous
about-face is a dirty, ragged little
kid who grew up to be one of Mex
ico's richest men. He is 49-year-old,
handsome Antonio Ruiz Galindo -
but he was just plain Tony when he
got disguised with Forth de las
Flores and walked out on it.
As a skinny 15-year-old. he fought
through the Mexican Revolution.
After the guns cooled off, he headed
for Mexico City, landed a sales job.
Quick to learn modern methods,
Tony swung a loan. went into busi-
ness for b .4nself. He soon hit the top.
JOLT. Now he began to think about
his home town. He went back. found
it more rundown than ever. Il
oughta burn it to the ground" he
muttered. Then he had another idea.
The sleepy villagers blinked when
Tony bought a plot of land. started to
build a big luxury hotel. But they
woke up when he hired them, trained
young people to staff his hotel, organ
lied farmers to produce for the
kitchen yet to be built.
Then, following the man whose
touch was gold. canny businessmen
came to Fortfn, found places for
cheap and beautiful country homes.
When the Fortfnites rolled out of
their hammocks to sell their land to
the first city slicker, Tony called
them together, bawled them out.
GOAL One peon had 800 acres.
wanted to sell it for 500 pesos. Hang
onto it!" barked Tony. When the
hotel was finished, the landowner
sold half his plot for 25,0O0 pesos.
The primitive people who laid the
brick for the hotel have become
master masons, others are working in
Offices. and almost everybody is
studying English. Shops have opened
up, businesses started. and the farm
ers are producing for the entire val
ley. Forth is a modern Mexican city,
and the people have come along with
it. Tony has reached his goal.

 These included a section giving final say on the lifting of food controls to the Secretary of Ag1i- culture instead of OPA, which MT.

 In one major respect, however, it was more satisfactory to ad- ministration leaders than Bill No 1. Tie Senate put in a provision requiring that producers, manufact- urers ard prooessors ceilings be placed high enough to take care of the average increase in costs in their industry since 1940.

 Atomic Diplomacy

MOSCOW, July 15.-The Com munist organ Pravda declared to- day in an article by Boris Izakoff that while British circles have been talking about a Russian iron cur tain" in Eastern Europe, Britain has hung up a velvet curtain" in the Pacific and Middle East The article, which invited Prav- das readers to lift the velvet cur tain" and look behind it, stated | Curious details are outlined from time to time behind the folds of the velvet curtain, which divides Indonesia from the outside world. War in Indonesia is unceasing day after day"
 Behind VelUet Curtain
 Behind this same "velevt cur tain," a British government mis- sion went to India with a plan of treating all possible questions "eX- cept the most important-the evac- uation of the English army from India"
 Turning to Palestine. the Pravda writer stated: Tn reality there is happening in Palestine something quite close to war operations. All that is there being done is justified in London by citing a misunder- standing between Jews and Arabs Convenient justification"
 BroadSideS At U. s. ! Soviet publications levelled new broadsides over the weekend at the United States proposals for atomic energy control and U. s. occupa- tion policies in both Germany and Japan.
 | M. Marinin, commenting in the Communist organ, Pravda, asserted that ruling circles" in America in general, have no intention of re- nouncing the atom bomb.
 On the German question, Y. A Viktorov, Pravdas international re- viewer, wrote that the American plan for a treaty of administration of Germany, despite its ballyhooed names, presents a step backward from the Berlin (Potsdam confer ence decision and ignored entirely the guarantee of separations deliv- cries."
