The Army Recruiting Service
for Florida announced through
its state headquarters in Jackson

were accepted for enlistment in
the Regular Army for the 10 day
period ending on July 81. This
Is slightly better than 80 enlist

Florida.
Most of the enlistees and re-
enlistees in the new Regular
Army were taking advantage of
the new pay increase for all
grades recently passed by Con-
gress and signed by the Presi-
dent. Others were taking advan-
tage of the G.. I. Bill of Rights
in order to further their educa-
ton. This is the provision that
entities a Regular Army enlistee
TO four years of college for a
three year enlistment in the
Army. This provision remains in
effect if the enlistment is accom-
plished on or before October 5
Of this year.
A breakdown in the statewide
figures for the past ten-day per-
iod shows Tampa far out ahead
of the other main recruiting sta
tons in the number of enlist
ments in the new Regular Army
with total of lib. Miami and
jacksonville waged dog-fight
for the runner-up spot with
Miami nosing out Jacksonville
by one enlistment, rs to rs. Plac-
ing fourth in the State of Florida
was Pensacola with % enlist
ments for the period. Tallahas-
see accouted for the rest of the
total by having accepted % men
for enlistment.
In these figures, the State of
Florida has been broken down
into five parts, namely: Jackson
vile. Tampa, Miami, Tallahassee,
and Pensacola. The other cities
of Florida have been placed I'M
der one of the main stations.
Reports have not been receiv-
ed from other states in the
Third Army Area in regard to
the number of men they had
accepted for enlistment in the
new Regular Army, but Florida
hash running very near the
top for some months now and it
Is anticipated that this State
viii be either on top or near the
top again this month.

light company lower rate will result This has not to knowledge, been the contention of the Mayor or the City Council but it has appeared in advertise ments This is also misleading.
 As a matter of fact the average householders bill for Juneau, compared with the average house. holders monthly bill for other Alaskan cities where utilities operated by the city show that Juneau has the lower rate.
 The average monthly rate for domestic customers in Juneau under private enterprise is $1226. We do not argue that this rate is low should be, that it should be higher But here the monthly bills for cities where electric service IS municipal enterprise
 Ketchikan, $13.57; Petersburg, $1814 Wrangell, $2252 Sitka $25; Seward, $2249; Anchorage, $21.98 (25 per cent rate increase here since figures furnished0
 Municipal ownership in these instances has not meant lower rates than the householder enjoys in Juneau. Yet some would have us believe lower rates would automatic the city took the light plant.
 Another contention is that the purchase through a bond issue, would not be obligation upon the taxpayers of Juneau It is true that revenue bonds would not directly be lien upon the taxpayers, but indirectly this would be the case-and the contention also put forth that general bonds would not be an obligation upon the taxpayer This is false i'm pression The truthful presentation would be that the taxpayer is taking this thing stockholder in the municipal corporation of Juneau. It would be just debt that must be fulfilled.
 The advocates of public ownership should admit such truths readily and should not attempt to confuse the public one way another By doing they will advance their cause much more rapidly

CONFUSING CLAIMS

During the past several weeks series of advertise nlents have appeared in publications concerning the proposed purchase by the City of Juneau of the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company One adver- tsement listed figures showing that the trend in public opinion over a certain period of years has been away from municipal ownership
 Other advertisements have listed claims in favor of municipal ownership. Both sides are entitled to their opinions and are also entitled to chance to sway the people of Juneau way or the other
 However we feel that these advertisements, no matter how much appreciate the advertising reve- nue. are serving confuse the issue with the public
 One contention of those in favor of municipal ownership that if the city takes the light com pany Juneau will be completely tax free at some future time. We feel that this is not only too much of sugar coating but also is ridiculous enough to defeat the purpose for which it is used The public is being misled The idea of city in which the residents would pay city taxes is preposerous. Residents of Ketchikan were told this thing many years ago when they voted to take their light company. But in Ketchkan the residents pay the highest taxes in history There are many other cities In which electrical service is municipal enterprise but the residents are not tax free.
 It is also conterded that the city takes over the

 From the opening day of the Extraordinary Session of the Seventeenth Session it looks if this Legsla ture will have not few stormy sessions.
 Some members of the Senate were disturbed over the appointment of committees. It is true that these appointments railroaded through by the majority bloc in the Senate but then that is usually the However the committees fair in this respect. Every division in the Territory is represented on every committee equally.
 The committees established in the House, on the other hand give the Third Division vast amount ot power Of the IT committees set up in the House by the Committee or Committees, the Fourth Division has no representation at all on nine committees, in cludng the Committee Mining and Manufacturing and the Committee on Education, the mining commit tee being especially important to the Fourth Division The First Division is eliminated from two committees and the Second Division from two committees. The Third Division is represented all committees This is inequa representation especially for the Fourth Division.

FRANCO HELPS U-BoATs

State Department cables regard ing the close link between Spain and Germany are too numerous to detail here, and most incriminat- ing. One problem all during the war was information regarding AL lied ship movements which kept leaking to Nazi submarines. This submarine activity was especially bad near Gibraltar, and American Army men were certain that Span ish employees of the Iberia Air lines, flying over the water, to- gether with other Falange agents, were supplying shipping informa- tion to the NaziS.
 As late as January 1945, after increased ship sinkings off the Spanish Moroccan coast, an official American protest was made to the High Commissioner in Spanish Morocco, General Orgaz. He was told (A) that German consuls in Spanish Morocco were given in- formation regarding all Allied ship movements; (B) that Falangist in- telligence circles were in direct con- tact with Axis intelligence; and co that Axis submarines had con- tacts On the Spanish coast.
 General Orgaz denied everything.
 A few days later, however an American official led Spanish off, cials to a secret Spanish observa- tion post equipped with radio transmitters, code books and cop- ies of messages to German U-Boats. This incident was reported to the State and War Departments in cables dated Feb. 19, and 21, 1945. The State Department at that time was letting Jimmy Dunn gov ern it's Spanish policy. Nothing happened.
 Inside fact is that some State Department officials, prior to the Byrnes administration, appeared to be sympathetic toward Franco.
 On Aug. 3, 1944, for instance, three Spaniards were executed by Franco at Melilla as penalty for aiding the escape of Allied prison CTS. The three Spaniards were Re- publicans and opposed to the pro- Axis policy of Franco.
 
 Up until the end, it was expect ed that American consular officials in Spain would intervene to save them. But not one finger was lift ed. The gentlemen of the State De- partment, at that time, were not in- terested in helping those who had helped Americans-if it got them in wrong with Franco.
 Note-Senators interested in get ting the facts regarding the above incident might subpoena cables no 36454 of July 28, 1944, and no 37O36 of September 3, 1914 COPYRIGHT, BELL SYNDICATE. INC. 1946)

Another pack-stage reason for the State Departments announce ment last week that it had de- manded a governmental change in Spain was word that Cardinal Spellman intended to lunch with Franco en route home from Rome. It was, therefore, thought wise to let the Cardinal know publicly that friendship with Franco was con- trary to the policy of the American Government

BRITISH OkAY PLANES
 TO PERON

One of the most inexplicable State Department cables-in view of the cooperation Britain was sup posed to give us against dictators- is dated July 20, 1944, and tells of Spanish shipments of airplane mo- tors to the Argentine dictators.
 The British secretly authorized this shipment without referring the matter to the Allied Blockade Committee where the American re- presentative would have had a chance to refuse a certificate. In fact, the United States knew noth- ing about the British-Spanish-Ar- genuine triple play until July Is, 1914, when the first shipment of motors reached Argentina. They in- cludede Il tons of airplane motors, 1889 kilograms of spare parts; p Elizade engines and 2l Gnome- Rhone motors.
 Two other State Department cables, dated Feb. IA and Is, 1945, tell how the Argentine War Minis try, dominated by the Peron-Far- rell dictatorship was granted a credit of 25,0oO0o0 pesetas by Fran co to buy Spanish explosives.

RuSINESS AFFAIRS

Within the year statistics will reveal a surprising increase in the number of self-service stores in this country, most of them home owned independent establishments. Few consumers object to waiting on themselves, and it is matter of record that shops of this kind realize proportionately greater pro fits than those of equal size em- ploying a number of clerks.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A surprising test of the princi- pie of free speech is foreseen. An effort to separate the individuals right of free speech from a free press-permitting the first, denying the second-will only emphasize that the two are one and the same. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS ,, Korea soon will be the scene of activities which will attract wide attention with world sentiment divided but the majority critical of the role played by Communists there.
 Persons born on this date are promised by the stars: A year of unexpected and favorable develop ments in their social life. They should take stock of their financial resources.
 Children born on this day are destined to achieve much, but only patient and understanding parents can start them on the road to suc- cess.

NAzI SPIES IN SOUTH AMERICA

Another State Department cable, dated Dec. 6, l944, tells how Spain helped smuggle Nazi technicians and industrialists into Argentina and also set up a Nazi master plan for transferring funds, industrial information and personnel to Ar gentina. From their base in Ar gentina. the Nazis spread their net work into other Latin American countries-all with the help of the Spanish fascists.
 To facilitate this, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs even went to the extent of arranging with German consulates for Ger man agents to falsely claim Ar genuine as their birthplace.
 How the Spanish Nazi-Argentine axis operated was forcefully dem cnstrated in Colombia, where in l944 a revolt was organized against President Lopez, a great friend of the USA. It has now developed that one important group behind this revolt was the Accion Comin- ado de Hispanidad, subversive group of pro-Nazi Falangists or ganized by the Argentines and Ger mans via Spain. Regular contacts were maintained with them by couriers from Spain.
 Many of these reports, hitherto collecting dust in the State Depart ment, have now been laid before Secretary Byrnes and his assistant secretary Spruilie Braden. They are the reason for recent forth right policies toward Spain and Ar gentina.

Russia VIII Extend Season
For Whaling in Antarctic
By Georoe Weller
Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
the chicoso Dolly News

LONDON, Dec. 14.-With interna-
tional movements in the Antarctic
gradually taking on competitive
character, Soviet Russia, alone OF the
five interested nations, has secured
the right to extend its whaling sea-
son there beyond the April s closing
deadline
British, Dutch, Norwegian and
Japanese whale catchers, who began
hunting punctually at the seasons
opening last week, will suspend OPP
erations upon the arrival of the Ant
arctic winter. But the Russians
have received permission from the
International Whaling Committee
to continue beyond the deadline, in
order to make up for their delayed
arrival in the Antarctic.
Latest radio reports from the Ant
arctic said that the Russian whaling
expedition had not yet arrived.
New Zealand is rushing plans for
an Antarctic expedition to match
any claims which may be made by
Admiral Richard E. Byrd, whose
United States expedition is now en-
route to that frozen country.
The United States is not among
the notwithstanding powers, al
though Japanese boats had to secure
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's permis-
sion to go down under.
Britain, Norway and Argentina
maintain, on small islands, summer
time whaling posts which are usual
ly demounted in April.

progress of the world;
Freedom of information requires
as an indispensable element the
willingness and capacity to employ
its privileges without abuse. 1t re-
quires as basic discipline the moral
obligation to seek the facts without
prejudice and to spread knowledge
without malicious intent;
Understanding and cooperation
among nations is impossible without
an alert and sound world opinion
which, in turn, is wholly dependent
upon freedom of information"
During the first part of the first
session of the General Assembly in
London the Philippine delegation
presented draft resolution calling
for an international press confer
ence. This resolution finally was
postponed until the present meeting
of the Assembly.
While the Assembly was in London
expressions for freedom of informa-
ton and urging the United Nations
to take action were sent by Kent
Cooper, executive director of the
Associated Press: Hugh D. Baillie,
president of the United Press, and
Wilbur Forrest, assistant editor of
the New York Herald Tribune and
president of the American Society
of Newspaper Editors. Last May the
Commission on Human Rights set
up a subcommission on freedom of
information and of the press, which
was confirmed by the Economic and
Social Council.
Mr.. Forrest submitted an urgent
proposal for action on the matter
to the United Nations last Septem-
ber and it was on the agenda when
the Assembly met. The resolution
was drawn up after several commit
tee meetings this fall.
