ESSAY CONTEST

ject, Price Controls: How long af- ter V-J Day Will They Still Be Needed?" have been carefully con- sidered by the finalist judges and their decisions reached, it was an nounced today by Mrs. Minna Lee Coughlin, Education Supervisor for OPA.
 Grand prize of $50 war bond and a special certificate of award went to Miss Patte Davis, Junior High School Senior, whose l5OO- word essay quoted opinions of a local music dealer, a speciality store proprietor, a hardware merchant, a fisherman, a travelling salesman and a returned service man, as well as traditional published sour ces such as the American Observer and government bulletins.
 Summarizing her stand in a statement quoting the Boy Scout Executive for Alaska, MT. D. R. Hanks, Miss Davis reported his statement:
 "The Office of Price Administra- tion served a purpose during the World War II that has been unex- celled by any control agency in this or any other country during a national crisis. Now during the recOnVerSion period the OPA will be the object of vicious attacks both by labor and by industry, but in the final analysis we must weigh what it has done for Am erica compared to what England, Australia, France, Spain and Italy are suffering at the present time due to uncontrolled economic bal 
 Price controls cannot be main tained indefinitely, but through this most critical period of all," Miss Davis concludes, "I believe that OPA should continue until supply meets demand; until every aim of the war has been consum- and until world peace is possible. l hope Congress will agree with me"
 Miss Josephine Moberg, gradua- ting Senior of Seldovia and winner of second place and $25 war bond relies on the experience of old time merchants who suffered thru the disasters of imitation during World War I as warning to pro- vide for continuing security here at home so there can be lasting peace in the world" and recom- mends continuance of price con- trols until we are on a sound se- CuTlty OdSlS.
 Placing third and winning $l0 in war stamps was the entry of Miss Frances Barlow of Juneau, while Honorable mention went to Dom Black of Fairbanks High School.
 Conducted for high schools all over the Territory, the contest pas sed through preliminary competi- ton which reduced the number of essays to be considered in the fin als to l4.

To Housing Unit Hit

The Commissioners today were con-
sidering protests by the Burroughs
Citizens Association against the
appointment of Myron Davy, Wash
ington real estate man, to a spe-
cial committee tackling the hous-
ing problem for veterans.

First Visit in New Rank.
The new cardinals visit to the
Vatican for today's ceremonies was
their first since they received the
new rank, which entitled them to
traditional honors from the papal
noble guard, Swiss guard and gen.
darmes.
Their rank as princes Of the
church" gives them status equal to
royal princes and gives them pre-
cedence over prime ministers and
heads of governments, but not over
chiefs of state such as monarchs
and heads of republics.
Since cardinal cannot wear
cardinals robes unless he also has
symbol of his office-either the
biretta, the ring or the cardinal S
hat-the new princes of the church
attended today's ceremonies in
black bishops frockS. They will re-
ceive their red hats tomorrow, after
receiving the ring and biretta today

lace and cardinalitial sleeves of lace
shot through with scarlet.
! The retinue of each cardinal also
brought new purple mozetta, a
garment with sleeves reaching to the
elbows. made of watered silk, and a
scarlet. broad-brimmed street hat
The cardinalitial sash differs from
that of a bishop in that it has
golden tassels instead of purple.

Federal Construction
To Be Deferred for
Homes, Wyatt Says

Much Federal construction, in
cluding the contemplated program
of the Public Buildings Administra-
tion, will be deferred to open the
way for all-out production of vet
erans' homes, Wilson Wyatt, nation
al housing administrator, announced
late yesterday.
This decision was reached by the
Interdepartmental Committee on
Construction, composed of Federal
departments and agencies interested
in construction.
At the same time the committee
gave the green light to highway and
. reclamation projects, river and har-
" Dor improvements, flood control and
certain community facilities, such as
streets, sewers and waterworks es-
sential to housing.
To Cooperate in Program.
Baird Snyder, acting for Maj. Gen.
Philip B. Fleming, Federal works
administrator who heads the COM
mittee, wrote Reconversion Director
Snyder, saying the interdepart-
mental group gave its "wholeheart-
ed cooperation" to the proposed
,000-unit housing program.
ITO this end, types of Federal con-
struction which would compete with
housing for men and materials will
be deferred" the FWA official said.
THE Federal building program con-
templated by the Public Buildings
Administration will, if authorized,
be timed to the extent necessary to
avoid such conflict
Highways were deferred for four
years and cannot safely be post
poned longer" the committee said.
River and harbor work is so funda
mental to the basic economic life"
of the Nation that it docs not ap-
pear wise" to defer it, while flood
control should 60 forward to cut
life and property losses, it was ex-
planned. Reclamation projects like
wise were called essential to open
new opportunities in farming for
veterans.
Federal Program Affected.
The decision, coming on top of
congressional reluctance to report
out the administration omnibus
postwar Federal buildings bill, was
viewed today as added proof that
only few top critical Federal
buildings will be erected for some
time to come.
The postwar buildings measure,
held up in the House Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds, would
authorize nearly billion dollars
worth of Federal construction,
mostly post Offices, over a period of
years. In Washington, the bill would
provide for about $500, 0,000, 900 worth
of construction.
This would include new buildings
for the Navy and State Depart
ments, extension of the new War
Department Building, Interior and
Treasury Annexes, two buildings for
the General Accounting Office, two
museums for the Smithsonian In
stitution, two film and record stor-
age buildings for the Library of
Congress and the National Archives,
a general Office building, a Public
Buildings Administration service
building, an administration building
for the Bureau of Standards, build
ings and Improvements for the Ma
tional Institute of Health and
buildings and improvements for
the Zoo.

Russian Officer Drew
Gun on U. 5. Sergeant,
Murder Court Told
sy tho Associated Press

VIENNA, Feb. 20.-Russian 1t
Nicholas Zharkov testified at the
court martial of Sergt. Shirley Dixon
of Toledo today that Russian Capt
VASTLY Klementiev pulled gun on
Dixon because the sergeant had 'in-
suited his honor as an officer" by
showing him.
Capt. Klementiev was shot to
death by Dixon aboard the Salzburg-
Vienna Express when Klementiey
refused to leave the train, reserved
for exclusive use of American troops
Dixon, a guard on the train under
orders to bar unauthorized persons
is charged with murder.
1t. Zharkov told the American
court he was with Capt. Klementiev
1.-The American soldier stepped
back, took out his gun and directed
it at U.S." he said. "He gestured to
us to move on"
Unable to Identify Gun.
Capt. N. B. White of Brockport
N. Y, translated for 1t. zharkov
who was unable to identify Dixon's
gun. The Russian explained:
when you are threatened, you
don't think about the size of the
firearm because you get shot whether
it is big or SMALL" I
1t. IZharkov gave his testimony
under an oath prescribed by the
Soviet 95th Article of War.
1t. Zharkov testified that after he
boarded the train "a military person
came, raised his voice" and tried to
push the Russian officers off the
train.
The witness said he went to an
other car, and, with Capt. Klemen-
tiev, met Dixon. 1t was then that
Capt. Klementiev felt his honor in
suited and drew his. own gun, point
ing it at the sergeant, he said.
Wanted Train Stopped.
The Russian officers then moved
back to the vestibule of the train
with Dixon following. The witness
said Capt. Klementiev made motions
indicating he wanted Dixon to stop
the train. 1t was there that the
shooting occurred.
THE captain was somewhat ex-
cited because he was being pushed
around and he felt insulted," the
Russian said, adding that he be-
lieved both would have left the train
If 1t had been stopped.
Subsequently 1t. Zharkov said he
did jump from the train at about
the time of the shooting. Asked if
he felt Dixon was frightened by the
captains gun. 1t. zharkov said +:
Il doubt it."
The witness said he did not know
the train was exclusively for Amer
lean troops or that Dixon was under
orders to keep all others off the
train.

In the spring after the tops are
showing above ground 1t is ad-
visable to make light application
OF commercial Fertilizer pounds
per 100 feet OF row--and to keep
the soil well cultivated. Bulbous
iris are apparently free from insect
and disease troubles, Should dis
eases appear the best and easiest
remedy is to pull and burn the
infected plant.
In cutting the flowers It Is gem
orally the practice to cut long
stems, although this tends to
weaken the bulb for ensuing use.
For the preservation of the bulbs
shorter stems should be cut. How
ever, the bulbs are Inexpensive and
many gardeners do not feel 1t worth
while to dig and cure them for fall
planting.
After the Towering season the
rows should be kept cultivated until
the foliage has yellowed and dried.
The bulbs are then lifted and cured
until dry. Store in a cool, airy place
until planting time. As the bulbs
multiply the stock can be increased
Have Many Favorites.
There are a number of varieties
OF the Dutch iris to choose from.
Most gardeners, after growing them
for a few years, begin to have fav-
orites. Yellow Queen, a golden-yel-
low is very popular, both in the
garden and in the cut-fiower trade
White Excelsior, snow-white, is
good. A. Bloemaard, purplish-blue
is a striking variety whose richness
OF color is enhanced when mixed
with White Excelsior. Jacob De
Wit. dark blue, and Imperator, q
later blooming dark blue are liked
by many gardeners. Wedgewood
described as wedgewood blue in
color, is another favorite. ALI OF
them are attractive enough to be
worth trying.
For cut flowers 1t is desirable to
plant a sufficient number of bulbs OF
each variety to provide ample
blooms. In most gardens dozen
should be the minimum number for
a given variety. For those who like
to have ample flowers for cutting, rs
to so bulbs Of each would be better.
In cutting the Dutch iris for in
door use it is desirable to cut the
flowers just as the sheath begins to
break. If allowed to open indoors
the bloom will be clean and the
color bright. A second flower will
often open if the stems are trimmed
each day or two and the water
changed every day. This bit of care
is rewarded with. long-lasting col
orful bouquet.
