Ready to Share
Washington Post)


 Every poll of public opinion indicates that an overwhelming majority of Americans are willing to share food supplies with the starving people of other nations. poll taken by the National Opinion Research Center at the beginning of 943 showed that per of those interviewed prepared to sub init to rationing for about five years to relieve the starving The results of that survey made when the wartime spirit of self sacrifice at it's height could hardly have been accepted alone fair test of the American desire to aid
 However, it's evdental value greatly enhanced by the findings of similar polls taken afer the enes of hostilities in Europe. Thus the Gallup post-VE Day poll showed that 85 per cent of the interviewed would be willing to continue put up with shortages of butter sugar. meat and other ratoned products to aid the people of Europe. A similar Iowa poll taken after the end of the in the Pacific, just before Christmas showed that 69 per cent of those inter- viewed were prepared to get along with the same amount of food they had obtained under rationing And 70 per cent of the District residents boiled by The Post last January stated that they would will ngy submit food rationing again. in order to send more food to Europe
 Tn view of this cumulative evidence, we conclude that even without return to the compulsions of aoning the great majority of Americans would gladly already displayed their eagerness to help the des
 ute by their enthusiastic response to appeals for clothing They would undoubtedly respond to similar appeals for voluntary food sharing if presented in the right way, with assurances that their contributions would be handled systematically and disposed of in ways calculated to do the most good.

IS THIS REACTIONARY?

If the actions of the Territorial Senate on legisla- ton passed upon during the special session just ended can be called reactionary, then we don't know what progressive legislation is. But already the howl is going up in certain quarters that most members of the Senate are still reactionaries and that good many of the Senators are controlled by the salmon cannery and mining industries.
 Here are some examples of the legislation orginat- ing in and passed by the Senate:
 s. B. 1-conpete revision of the Alaska Work mems Compensation Act, making it the most liberal for the working of any State in the United States This act didn't help either the mining or fishing industry, but it passed 16 to in the Senate.
 s. B. 3-a measure appropriating $2S0,000 for a tuberculosis control program also passed 16 to 0, meaning more taxes Was this reactionary? Com missioner of Health Albrecht told us that he was amazed that there had been any criticism of the members of the Senate that he considered the Sem atfs one of the cooperative groups he had ever worked with.
 g. B. 9-the bill for veterans. The most liberal act of it's kind in the United States certainly not re- actionary measure. This bill was held up by House conference committee ostensiby over disagreement concerning the tax, but we believe so that the Gov einor could make interim appointments to the board after the Legislature had adjourned These appoint

CONSUMERS REBEL

While OPA's new Administrator Paul Porter, was busy trying to appease farm and cotton belt Con- gressmen the other day, he nearly had his main political prop knock ed from under him
 The AFL, CIO and Railroad Brotherhoods served notice that they were about to withdraw their advisory staffs from the OPA. Since labor is now OPA's staunchest packer this would have been a death blow.
 What most people don't realize is that the AFL, CIO and the Railroad Brotherhoods maintain a staff of about 20 cost of living ad-. visers which works alongside the OPA. They represent the largest block of American consumers.
 However. without consulting these consumer representatives, Porter put through some highly important price increases on meat. canned goods, fresh fruit, crude oil and bread.
 As result, the AFL, CIO and Brotherhood members got together and decided to recommend to their chiefs that their staffs be with drawn from the OPA
 But when Jack Thorton, Chair man of the CIO Cost-o Living Committee. reported this to CIO Chief Phil Murray, Murray picked up the phone and called Paul Por- ter. The latter was flabbergasted, urged that the consumer advisers remain and promised that they would not be by-passed in the fu- ture. For the time being they are remaining.
 Ncte-What labor doesn't alto- gether realize is that wage increas- es for unions are bound to result in higher living cost-for them as well as white collar workers. For instance, Washington, D. C., milk drivers have served strike notice for April 25. If their increased wage demands are met, the price of milk will go up for everyone in that area Meanwhile, every wage in- crease in the city tends to draw labor off the farm. or else increase wages on the farm-which meana

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME Romance is favored and the stars promise happy climax for pro- Ilonged engagements. Women physi- cally incapable of bearing children may know all the joys of mother hood by the relatively simple pro cess of adoption.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Some tax relief for business is indicated, but there will be no sub stantial easing of the present tax burden until sufficient pressure is brought to bear on the Bureau of Internal Revenue to be more len tent within the limitations provid- ed by law
 NATIONAL ISSUES Demands that profit controls be relaxed will not go unheard. The price-fixing formula in which pro- fits have been a factor of first i'm portance will probably undergo fur ther revision in. the near future.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 The United States will not &C., cept Russia's krazen contention that international espionage is a nat ural, necessary and inevitable pro cedure. The U. s. is not so much opposed to espionage as it is to prac- tice of thievery among friends.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of increased responsibilities and commensurate material rewards.
 Children born today will be in- telligent, ambitious, determined and courageous. In their early years they will need the steadying hand of wise and patient parents. Those born to incompetent or indiffer ent parents may fall far short of their goals.

Most graphic illustration of how the United States now sits in the middle between Britain and Russia came at an early meeting of the Security Council.
 In .preyieus secret meetings of thc Big Three, it was known that Is6cseFelt kept the balance between .Stalin and Churchill But at one public session Of the Security Coun- Gil in New York, Lord Cadogan sit- ting beside U. s. Assistant Dele gate Ed Stettinius, kept whispering messages which Stettinius passed on to Secretary Byrnes, spurring fhe latter to be tougher with Rus sia.
 Stettinius, ever anxious to be helpful, passed on the messages, but Byrnes kept his own counsel.

New Assessments
Stir Ar|inqfonians

Notices of the new assessments
of real estate received in the mail
by Arlington County property own
ers have resulted in a flood of tele-
phone calls to the offices of the
reassessment board in the court
house. Board Chairman E. L. Usilton
reported.
Announcement that the first gen.
eral reassessment since 1910 had in
creased real estate values by about
$45, 900 900 for a total of approx
mately $117,0O0,O00 was made
Wednesday by the bipartisan
board, which had worked on the
survey since last February follow
ing appointment by the judge Of
the circuit court.
The individual notices, however,
did not reach property owners until
the week end.
Mr.. Usilton pointed out that the
assessments are tentative and that
any person who feels that his prop
erty has been improperly valued
may submit "factual" evidence, in
writing. to prove his contention.
The new valuations are not effec-
tive for tax purposes until next year.
the board chairman said, adding
that public hearings will be an
nounced this week. He asserted
that his group has nothing to do
with the setting of the tax rate,
which is done by the county board.
