SHIPPING STUDY

Announcement that committee of three experts will study problems involved in the operation of shipping services between the States and Alaska is welcome news that something is finally going to be done about a problem which has been cripplng Alaska
 However, it unfortunate to us that Alaska could not have been represented on the committee directly when Alaskans vitaly concerned.
 Members of the committee are George Talmadge, adviser to the Maritime Commission; T. H. Plant of the American Hawaiian Steamship Company, and Rear Adm. F A. Zeusler U. s. N, retired.
 Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett, Attorney General Ralph Rivers or other Alaskan officials who have been closely connected with the steamship problem would have been glad of the opportunity to serve on the committee.
 On March l. 1947, few months from now the government will discontinue operation of the three steamship companies to Alaska, and something must be pulled of the hat before that deadne or else. Shipping operators contend that due to increased operating costs and other difficulties they cannot sume private operations AlasXans cannot pay higher rates
 We hope the experts find solution suitable to all

ANCHORAGE TAXI
 GOES OVER BANK

ANCHORAGE - A taxi plunged over the embrankment at Third avenue and E street at about 5 o'clock Tuesday morning, when the driver lost control of it. skidded 40 feet, and turned over, pinning a woman passenger.
 The driver, Charles Brady. 25, knocke dunconscious. He came tc and realizing he could not release the woman, Mrs. Rita Columbus, 29, crawled cut of the overturned ve- hicle and made his way to police headquarters.
 The driver suffered spralned leg muscles.
 Officer Eddie Eckert and D. L Bray went to the scene. EckeTt crawled into the cab and talked to Mrs. Columbus, who recognized him. She did not lost consciousness. he said, and he gave her a cigar cite.
 Bray quickly summoned help to life the cab. He called about q dozen cab drivers and together they lifted the cab a few feet. One man smashed the windshield, opened the door and released the girls arm, which was broken.
 She was taken to Providence hospital.
 MT. Brady said that he "mistook the street for another one in the dark"

Businessmen who find their labor costs ever mount ing can't count on much in the way of large labor reserve to offset the climb in the very future, according to the U S. Employment Service as con- tinued public demand for still scarce goods and services tends to further tighten the American labor market
 Nearly three-fourths of the important labor market areas surveyed by USES early in September showed increases in general fields of employment In most or these others employment levels remained stable, with a small number reporting declines. Unemployment likewise showed decline in efourths of the areas refectng the continued absorption of returning vet erans Employment is expected to continue to ln- crease in three -fourths of the under survey
 The reports indicate strong demand for skilled workers in construction builders supplies and metal working industries Manufacturers decreasing their demands labor somewhat it is indicated as their peace time production staffs completion. Construction employment expected to advance furh- CT in northern areas until winter weather curtails work and will probably remain high throughout the winter in southern areas where weather conditions are favorable
 While there appears to be no nation wide shortage of labor the reports indicate current shortages of certain skls in particular industries Easement of manufacturing demands will be offset considerably by the return to school of teen-ager and veterans The paradoxca situation worker shortages and surpuses existing side by side in is explained by the

for veterans a-c stymied for lack of lumber. Meanwhile also, Captain Drane is not too uneom1 1ortable. He is living in the married officers quarters consisting of 27 rooms, while the executive officer is liv- ing in the bachelor officers quar- ters which consists of 13 rooms.
 Another saving the Navy might make would be to sell the twelve electric refrigerators now idle at the Olathe air base. One has been loaned to Comdr c. c. Clement for use in his private home. Vet erans would be delighted to pay good money for these idle refriger- ators
 Another way to save money would be to curtail the interesting flights which Captain Drane makes to Clarksville, Tenn, which happens to be his home. On one trip twin engine Beechcraft with Lieut.. Comdr. L. D. Macomber as pilot picked up his daughter and her girl friend and flew them back to Olathe, without entering either of the girls on the flight plan.
 Three thousand naval personnel have been transferred away from Olathe, with only about 400 men remaining. Yet no furniture, equip ment, iceboxes or buildings have been declared surplus.
 All this may sound like chicken feed compared with the navy's tre- mendous wartime expenditures, but when you multiply possible econ- omy at Olathe by possible economy at a hundred other stations, it runs into real dough.
 Note = Another possible saving For a long time, Comdr. w. M Collins, Annapolis 34, and son-in- law of Adm. Charles P. Snyder Navy Inspector General lived 1T Kansas City and commuted thirty miles daily to Olathe in a Dodge sedan which belonged to the Navy and was serviced daily in Navy garage.

HOW TRUMAN COMMITTEE
 STARTED

Probably only three or four people know how the original Truman Committee happened to be estab- lished And since that Committee was responsible for putting Harry Truman in the White House, the inside story of it's founding has historic interest.
 Senator Truman of Missouri was attending the inauguration of Gov ernor Nicely of West Virginia in l940. At the inauguration, he met Senator Harley Kilgore of West Virginia, then a freshman Senator. At the Governors mansion at Charleston, they talked of Civil War History in which both always had been interested, including the graft which followed the Civil War.
 Its too bad Congress never got around to Investigating the Civil War graft Truman remarked.
 AS a matter of fact, it would be good idea for Congress to inves- tigate the graft in defense indus tries right now" suggested Kilgore.
 After some further discussion Truman announced that he was going right back to Washington to introduce a Senate resolution call ing for the creation of such an in- vestigation committee. He did so and was immediately named Chair man
 Senator Kilgore at first was not named as a member of the com mittee since he was a freshman Senator However, due to the fact that he had helped inspire the idea, Truman wanted him to serve Therefore, he specifically asked the i President of the Senate to enlarge , the Committee and name Kilgore
 Intriguing fact is that Kilgore who originally inspired the com mittee and served on it for six years, is now it's Chairman.

TOM CONNALLY IN PARIS

Venerable Tom Connally, the dis tinguished Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was attending a diplomatic reception at the Paris Peace Conference where he was introduced to the Czecho- slovakian Foreign Minister, Jan Masaryk.
 "Oh, of course, knew your fa- ther we'll Connally said, and then stepped back and began initiating a man playing violin.
 Masaryk was somewhat nonplus- sed.
 My dear sir said Masaryk, T am a Czech, not Pole. And the father of his country whom you were thinking about was pianist and not violinist.'

Part of a Pattern?
Cincinnati Enquirer

Labor unrest is by no means merely an American phenomenon. The economic and social riptdes of war have spread of strikes fairly generally throughout the world with perhaps the notable excep- tion of the theoretical heaven of the workman Soviet Russia.
 England has been plagued by work stoppages Italy has been the scene of really serious strife, stimulated by economic misery and relentless 1nfla- tion In both nations, elsewhere the disturbances have had enthusiastic communistc support
 France which until the time of her downfall was the helpless victim of labor troubles, has fared some what better in recent months but there the stir rings of industrial unrest there. Africa, South America Australia India and other points on the globe have been back in their recovery efforts by varying amounts of labor trouble The result generally has been marked slowing of the worlds comeback from a war which left prodigious an amount Of work to be done.
 Is it possible that beyond the natural expectation of postwar difficulties of labor adjustment, all this composes pattern either planned or promoted with sinister intent?

peace in the family?"
mol" cried Archie ''I'll be damned if
will. It's become something "a kind of ideal,
damn it, that have to be loyal to. Id feel
like heel getting out of it."
Funny thing" Jim said, two women
we're so fond of, and are 50 fond OF us, doin
their damndest to break up our friendship"
well, Jim, women don't know what friend
ship means, the way men do.
"Yes, but at that, it amt anything un-
usual, is it, for man to spend his money the
way he wants to? Men don't always consult
their wives on everything, do they? They
couldn't do business if they did. Arch, if l
was you, I'd just tell Leigh -" Jim stopped.
The door had opened. Leigh Grail came in.
ALTHOUGH Jim had seen and admired her
photograph, he was unprepared for 50 much
breezy youth and beauty and style. She was
something out of his world. Taller and darker
too, than he d expected; and he hadn't count
ed on those luminous green eyes of hers. Her
smart tailor made looked pretty expensive to
him, and that silver fox - we'll, Clara had
told him about those things when they did
window shopping.
Leigh foated up to him, in an aura of faint
perfume. Hello, Jimmy boy" she laughed.
so you're the dear old pal I've heard 50
much about - with the accent on the dear.
How are you, big boy?" and she kissed him
on his lips, making his cheeks grow very red.
The two men watched her pull off her gloves
and hat and poke at her hair in front of big
mirror.
Signed any more 'Pacts of Eternal Friend
ship lately, you two idiots?" she called back,
laughing at Jim in the glass. Then she asked
him why in the world Clara, whom she was
dying to see, had to leave New York at just
this time, and demanded that they all motor
up to Auburn to see Clara and the baby.
