was announced five months ago by Arthur w. Binns of Philadelphia, president of the National Home & Property Owners Association. He was leader of the private housing lobby that opened the way to killing the Wyatt veterans housing program by strangling the Wagner-Ellender- Taft Housing Bill in the House after 1t had passed the Senate.
 Wyatt needed that bill to check credit to finance lOw-cost housing for veterans. He should have had, in addition, cooperation instead of sabotage from Civilian Production Administrator Small and REC Di- rector Allen. Getting neither, he took his fight to President Truman and lost.
 Binns' plan, which now represents our national housing policy, was put in the Congressional Record (Page A 4777) on July 27 by Rep. Richard M. Simpson (R., Pa.).

roes to live in, from foxholes to the slums of great, rich, powerful Amer ica."
 Rep. Douglas was reelected. She and a few others are pledged to fight for enactment of the Wagner. Ellender-Taft Housing Bill in the Both Congress.
 So, presumably, is Senator Taft.
 During the winter months veterans and others who feel a cold draft on their necks and pocketbooks may want to talk it over with Taft-by let ter, wire and resolution. There's chance of action on some sort of hous- ing bill before the 1948 elections.
 But in the meantime, don't say we don't have a national housing policy.

The End of a Chapter
Cincinnati Enquirer

A half dozen short yet ago, Hermann Goering was strutting the resmendent stage of National Socialism, with chest full of medals and on his face the smirk of successful sngularly conscious of his success Joachim Ribbentrop champagne salesman who made good was charting the frenzied progress of Hitlers dipomatic drive to world dom inaton.
 Arthur Seyss-Inquart a that viii stand for perfidy for generations to come was enjoying the triumph of governing Austria after delivering her to the Nazis Julius SrecheT of the poison pen, hard at his infamous life work impanting hatred Cor the Jews in the minds of the German people
 These and more-Rosenberg and Sauckel and Prick were in their heyday The world in 1888 did not merely despse these skilled practitioners of hatred. It feared them for they had reared a mighty machine the power Of which coming to inspire awe throughout the world
 At the pinnacle of Nazi power the people of the earth stood in fear of these menof these and their fanatic master At times it seemed there was nowhere the courage to resist them, the strength.
 But the power to shatter their evil plans was found-initialy in the British Isles, and then the plains of Russia and then in the fields and factories of America Recently, 10 of the conspirators were hanged for their crimes. Goering cheated the gaoWs with poson but he, too, is no longer to be counted among the quick.
 There is no pleasure in contemplating the dismal. anticlimatc end of Il rngeaders of Nazsm. Only in the fierce heat of battle, at all could civilized men possibly rejoice in the destruction of their enemies. But we can still approve the considered judgment of an international court, and the somber execution of it's judgment
 These men were criminals unless the word has lost all meaning They have paid with their lives for conspirng against all that decent in human society The blood of millions their hands.
 Their executions will not necessarily make a third great war less likely. But those executions will stand in history as the rightful punishment of men who of fended against the moral law of world struggling slowly and hatngly toward and justice for all mankind

RELIEF SHIP

If the people of Alaska had to depend alone on the much -heralded relief ship Grommet Reefer they would be in a bad way The ship has been delayed for almost a month after once being cleared" to sail which should give some indication to what mess the current shipping strike entails
 Wednesday believed that the end of the strike was near but yesterday it was as far oil as ever Meanwhile, the Navy is thinking about taking such drastic step sending some emergency sup plies on naval craft Of the people of Alaska wouldn't want to offend the unions-but there are patients in the tuberculosis sanatorium at Seward who losing weight because they lack fresh foods. Dairy farmers are thinking about slaughterng their COWS for lack of feed. It is certain that the people of the Interior and Westward will have practically nothing to buy for Christmas and if the situation doesn't improve the stores in Southeast Alaska will have little to offer.
 However, all of this appears to be insignificant

 Plenty of Shoes And shoes. Plenty of shoes These were imported from the states. No longer must young mothers be harassed because baby brothers cooing over their children often chew off a sole of the child's cnly pair of shoes.
 Once the family is properly dress ed of course, there is that age-old problem of housing. Adults moon about the scarcity but it is the tiny mothers who are really hit. Only one house suitable to their needs is available, and althought it is undoubtedly the incest house in Juneau, there are hundreds of little girls who want it.

Gaudy prints hang in the living room which is carpeted in mauve and furnished with pomegranite red upholstered furniture made by Mrs. Power) In the corner is a grand piano with a mahogany" table nearby on which a real telephone sits.

SMALLEST MOTHERS
 NOW INTERESTED IN
 2 BIG DREAMFESTS

The housing situation being what it is, and the retail clothing busi- ness not much better, JuneauS smallest mothers are making big business negotiations this year with the Northland Easy As Wishing Fi- nance Company, better known by it's abbreviated trade name, Santa Claus.
 It is understood that the NEAW- FC, or sc offices are being de- ldged these days with slightly un- decipherable requests and demands that the executives of that com- putian Fashion Show-that sparkl- ing event of the year being held Nov. 20 in the Holy Trinity Parish Hall by the St Margarets Guild of the Holy Trinity Catherdal, and also to make necessary arrange ments with that guild concerning the purchase of a certain two- story house now on display in the dllu OuPPiy SO. Nlii- dow on Second Street.
 The company brokers, eager to please the tiny customers who are known to become very coherent in deed when demands are not full filled, have already purchased num- erous temporary liens" against the house
 The swish and fancy costumes tc be presented at the Littliest Lilipu- tian Fashion Show have not vel been advertised to the masses, but in a special preview to the Elm pire, there was evidence the l94t fashions for Juneau's most ninia- ture children are sure bet ao make any child look like a perfect doll
 Tiny, beautifully sewn little gar ments, each perfect in every utll- itarian and fashion-Wise aspect have poured from the homes of the finest seamstresses in St. Mar garet's Guild.
 Although the fashion show has been guild event for several years the l946 showing bids fair to be the most exciting. Ski suits for the outdoor type of doll-pardon child baby bunting blue and pink soft things for the exciting new arrivals; knitted caps, knitted mittens, off-the-shoulder formals for the tiny teenager filmy little pinafores-they go on forever, al least all over Mrs James Ryan's Chead of the St. Margaret's Guild Doll Bazaar Fashion Show front room.
 Favorite Models

A tweed coat, prin- cess-lined. with Peter Pan collar, and microscopic red and green buttons, complete with a red knit ted cap topped off with soft red pom-pom. Should fit any child no matter what age or how many arms or legs she still has as long as she is not any taller than l2 inches; wondrous supply of delicately turned lingerie, white princess slips afroth with crispy ruffles and laces, plenty of all length--we mean age-children.
 For the little school girl there is a wealth of daytime dresses, sweetly yoked, ruffled, or smartly tailored.

Anxious to laugh and shout
And play a game of ball.

Someone has made run;
Others chase the ball about
And think its lots of fun.
