SAD SITUATION

Elsewhere in today's Empire you will find an advertisement announcing the death of the newborn Southeast Alaska enterprise, the Coastal Navigation Company. Just two weeks ago we carried announce mens heraldng the inauguration of service by the new transportation concern which intended to South east Alaska ports with two modern vessels.
 The company made trip and the venture was over Here is the statement of the company:
 "The Coastal Navigation Company, organized and ncorporaed and with all it's authorized stock owned in Alaska was founded for the purpose of offering service between towns in Southeast Alaska to fill need which has long been found wanting, and to assist to the best of its ability the much desired development of Southeast Alaska.
 "The Coastal Navigation Company, in order to maintain dependable schedules planned to limit its operations for the immediate future, solely to the carriage of passengers The residents of the towns to be served evidenced considerable interest in the posed service and voiced their appreciation and promise of their full support.
 The companys fare schedules were predicted upon operating expenses expected to be incurred on small vessels of this type and as determined by comparison with those experienced on other Alaska boats of like size or type The wages and working conditions established by the company were, to the best of it's knowledge equal or better than those on other boats of this size and type. The companys intention and policy to deal fairly with its em- poyees the principle that harmonious relationship between it and its employees would make good service to the public possible.
 'The Coastal Navigation Company ready and willing to negotiate any differences either direct with its 20 employees, through any properly certified Alaska Union. However, after only one weeks opera tion it was confronted with demand that negotia- tions wages and working agreements be conducted through four unions in Seattle Such a method for the handling of a strictly Alaskan problem is both impossible and mpractcable
 Therefore the Coastal Navigation Company

Army Editors
Washington Post)

Protests continue to seep from Manila concerning the policy followed by the Army toward its GI news paper there, The Daily Pacifican. The general tenor is that the Army has imposed strict and unWar- ranted censorship and that certain high officers have induged in vindictive treatment of staff members. Many factors enter into proper appraisal of the stua ton not the least of which is the problem of main
 aining discipline that the war has ended. Never
 heless, if reports are true, it appears that Army commanders in the Philippines have used heavy and none too skillful hand in enforcing their concept of what is proper scope for Army newspapers
 In the Pacific, earlier in Italy, much of the complaint seems to be the Army's arbitrary bar rers According to members of the Pacifican staff, Army authorities have banned all comment on con- troversal subjects in letters to the editor have for bdden editors publish press association stories internal problems in the Philippines have killed stories and cartoons pertaining to demoblzation have banned cartoons differentiated man relationships and have even attempted introduce material refecting prejudice and poor taste. In some instances 1t is charged letters have been removed from the papers office And man, technician fourth grade, was denoted to private because he told press service reporter that he had been compelled to dig dtches after being removed from his Daily Pacifican job.
 Army editors have sometimes been immoderate and indiscreet, and, in the case of the premature camor for demobilization, which they helped inspire they did actual damage. It is impossible too, to compare freedom of the press in the Army with that of the outside, where writers have assayable re- sponsibity for what they write. Freedom of the press should be confused with license to destroy the Army It is true also that Army regulations and the Articles of War put limitations on what are proper subjects for comment.
 Nonetheless it is obvious that Army newspapers will fail miserably in their purpose if they are to be treated mere house organs Much of the valuable contribution made by these papers in Europe was due to fact that they by and for GIs and afforded expression for CT opinion. Certainly the cenSorg of letters beyond the bounds of decency and libel is questionable is the attempt to shut out legitimate of the news And the exercise of personal ven- dettas against staff members by brass hats is in- defensible. While a completely hands off" policy, such as that in effect in Europe during the war, may be wholly practicable in peacetme deviations from it should be held to minimum. Judgment is the key to successful Army newspapers, and that judgment should be equally incumbent com- manders the Army expects it to be it's editors.

gres to announce that in view of existing conditions, it has been forced to cancel uncompleed contracts with Alaska concerns for the further improvement of it's vessels lay off it's 20 employees and withdraw the boats from service.
 We believe it is sad situation when the labor unions are such powerful positions in America today that they close business, halt progress, impede development But that's the situation today. This is only one case. There will be more to follow.
 Surely no in his right mind would invest a dime in any Alaskan enterprise today. Those now in business are losing thousands of dollars because of the obstructions thrown up by few powerful unions The greatest nfationary power in America today is the power of the labor unionist to demand and get higher wages That's the big behind the dam That's the reason for the end of OPA, which we doubt will be revived in any effective form The business mans counterweapon is higher prices. Higher prices are results of nfation-not it's
 Meanwhile in the case of those companies whose prices fixed by law quaslegislative agents such as common carriers or gold mines, the only answer is to go out of business and wait.

August 6. They are equally cer- tain that a Republican will defeat Slaughter in the final elections.
 Albert L. Reeves, Jr., Republican son of Harding-appointed Fed eral District Judge in Kansas City, is the man expected to win out next November.
 Truman's old friends back home are really sore. They say he in jected the Nations highest office into the dirtiest political fight Mis- souri has had in twenty years, at a time, when Democratic leaders were attempting to promote har- mony among the various factions
 For years FDR tried to purge his home Congressman, COP Ham Fish, and finally accomplished it with Republican and Tom Dewey support. Truman, therefore, felt he had right to intervene in Kansas City home politics.
 Here's how the whole thing hap pened;
 Shortly after Jerome Walsh, for mer OPA attorney, announced he would oppose Slaughter, CIO-PAC of Kansas City and other local , labor unions indicated they would , support Walsh's campaign No pub lie endorsement was made, how ever.
 ] Truman, apparently figuring PAC support would do more harm than | good, sent word back home to dig up another candidate. It was his brother, J. Vivian Truman - who has habit of balling things ur who selected AXtell, virtually ar unknown in county politics Ak tell is from rural Jackson County and once served as an assistant county prosecutor. Truman pres, sured James Pendergast and tht powerful Democratic machine il Kansas City endorsed Axtell's can. didacy.
 |, This turn of events and tht ditching of the PAC pleased tn, President-that is, until PAC voted
 IA to 6 to drop Walsh and hol on the Axtell bandwagon. Whicl it did.

gineers-in advance of acceptance it was discovered that General Tire employees would deliberately pump up the floats during the night, thus deceiving Army in- spectorS.
 The floats were required to maintain a certain pressure for "A hours, and when the pressure would go down, General Tire people would pump them up while Army inspectors weren't around
 This fraud finally was discov- cred, and report very critical of General Tire was filed by Army engineers. The Army also secured confessions from about twenty Gen. eral Tire employees.
 Despite this discovery of delib- crate fraud, General Tire later was awarded the coveted E, sup posed to go only to companies per forming the highest war service.
 Furthermore, not only was the fraud hushed up, but afterward General Tire and Rubber Company was given a lush contract at Hunt ington, w Va, where Congress man Mays nephew, William H May, occupied a mysterious but very profitable role, working fol General Tire.

Sentimental Journey" is the name of the new motion picture now showing at the Loew-Poli The ater, starring John Payne, Maure- en O'Hara, and William Bendix, with brilliant little Connie Marsh all, as the most exciting child dis- covery of the year.
 It is the story of a beautiful, but childless, couple-the wife an act resS, the husband a director. On the eve of new play the wife learns she is seriously i'll and can never act again. Wanting her husband to be always reminded of her, the wife adopts a little girl, wistful, dreaming little girl who gets on the husbands nerves.
 After the death of the wife. the husband is all for getting rid of the child. But the wife, in flowing chiffon, appears in vision to the child and tells her to stick through thick and thin. This drama has Payne as the husband, Miss O'Hara as the wife, BendiX as the comic relief and Miss Marshall as the wide-eyed, pig tailed child who snatched the picture away from everyone by director Walter Lang.
 In the second attraction, "Di- vorce," stars Kay Francis and Bruce Cabot. Honors go to Helen Mack for her lifelike performance as the wife, while most touching victims are two child actors, Johnny Cal ] kins and Larry Olsen,

STRAND

When Joan Blondell batted a baseball through a window in her Beverly Hills home she won the most important role of her career.
 T wouldn't trade an Academy Award for it., she declares, who follows her hit role in "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" with another prize-winning part as Greer Gar sons lively roommate in "Adven- ture", now showing on the Strand screen. This is the picture which brings Clark Gable back to the cameras, after three and a half years in the United States Army Air Corps.
 However, the role she won as the result of the window-crashing in- cident is far cry from her screen portrayals. She doesn't need make up on glamour gowns. She can play it in a gingham housedress or slacks.
 It started when her ten-year-old son, Norman, hoasted to his Scout master that his Nom was the best first baseman" on the block. A few days later, Miss Blondell re- ceived a visit from him. After some deSultory talk, he asked: What would you do if the young sters playing baseball broke one of your windows2"

held an expensive contract which was to expire that fall, contract which, with salary terms and a share of player sales, netted Branch around $85,000 annually.
 Breadon wondered if he should continue such a contract during the uncertain war seasons, finally decided to sever connections with the MT. Brains" who had played such vital role in the rise of the Cardinals to baseball power.
 Hickey moved to Brooklyn. Fans who wondered If Breadon could continue successful without his partner were given their answer when the Cards won two more pennants along with last seasons second placer to the Cubs.
 There's the Rags s-to-Riches' story of the Cardinals-and the story of Sam Breadon, the one-time $7 a week automobile mechanic, now a millionaire sitting on top of the baseball world.

owski, Verban, Marion, Sanders Lanier Beazley, Pollett, White and Barret. That's just the refrain, you should hear the chorus.
 Most probably contention in this corners viewpoint is Brooklyn. The Buns aren't going to be a pushover for anybody what with such stand outs back as Pee-Wee Reese, Pete Reiser, Kirby Iigbe and Mickey Owen. Pittsburgh may have re- ceived the needed needle with Jimmy Brown at second and the Cubs, with virtually the same team that won the pennant last fall, might cause trouble. The Cubs, however, are one of the few teams which received very little help dur ing the off season.
 Nell Otis Giants have the power that might move them up into the first division but seem to lack the fielding finesse and pitching for 8 real bid. Boston will have plenty of one item-hustle-but willingness and chatter won't cop this one.
 Cincinnati and the Phils should wage terrific battle for cellar honors which proves that times haven't changed at all, really. The odds are that when they wind 1t up on Sept. % 1t will be Philadelphia door mating both leagues once again.

 By SID c. KEENER
 (Last of a series of 12 dispatches written for NEA Service.)
 St. Petersburg, March 20-tNEA) Rogers Hornsby, $50,000 ernploye who led the Cardinals to their first pennant and World Series triumph in 1928, had public favor on his side that winter when he refused to sign a new contract until Sam Breadon satisfied all his demands, including the firing of Branch Rickey.
 But owner Breadon was not to be pushed around, even by~so val ued an employe as the Rajah. He promptly swapped Hornsby to the Giants for second baseman Frankie Frisch and pitcher Jimmy Ring. St. Louis could not believe its eyes when the deal was announced.
 Hostile fans rallied to Hornsby's support. Shouts of Down with Breadonl" and a crepe hung on Breadons door clearly indicated how they felt. But the Cardinal boss withstood all invective, even motored to town and waved a "howdy" to the jeering crowds.

 Holovak, recently discharged from the Navy, played on the B. c. 1940 Sugar Bowl eleven and the 1942 Orange Bowl team.
 Other appointments to the coach- ing staff include Donald Currivan as end coach, Harry Marr as Chief Scout and general assistant coach and Moody Sarno as line coach.
 Spring drills for the 1946 football team will begin Monday. Myers gridsters face grueling nine-game schedule including games with Ten nessee and Alabama.

"Tt's the ball club, 1ot the indi- vidual, that counts he said. If l give the fans another winner iii 1927 they'll be with us. If I don't they'll desert us-with or without Hornsby."
 And once more he was right. Under Bob O'Farrell in 1927 the Cards drew almost 100000 more cus- toners than they had the year be- fore. Hornsby was forgotten.
