ALASKA: ITS FUTURE
By MACK TABOT

The Territory of Alaska and it's people getting the run-around.
 We want Alaska our last frontier to be strong out post capable of standing on its own feet.
 Ii Alaska is to pay its way it must have better deal than it getting. It is vassa territory with less voice in it's affairs than France had when it occupied by the Nazis.
 Alaska is run by "carpetbag" government It's gov ernOr and top officials appointed by Washington bureaucrats 1000 miles from Juneau territorial capital Alaskans have no say when their governor is ap- pointed. They ruled from Washington, which col lects taxes, but gives representation
 Alaskan economic affairs controlled by Washing ton, too Practically all of the Terrtorys rich areseaed off from exploration and development, pro- tectively" held in federal reservations.
 Vast timber lands, oil fields and mineral wealth are tied up in these federal reserves areas.
 Aaskas absentee government is doing nothing to open up and encourage development of Instead it sits meeky while Ickes interior department sets up reservations, further obstructing Alaskas oppor tunity to grow.
 More timber than could be cut in year rots in Alas kan forest reserves every 12 months.
 Only short distance east-across the border in Can ada-the lumber industry and pulp mills going full blast
 Exploration and working of new mineral resources in Alaska is at Standstill.
 Across the border in Canada the Yellowknife gold field is booming
 Proof that Alaska's worth looking into is the fact that the U S. Navy drilling for al on huge at Point Barrow north of the Arctic Circle Alaska assumed its greatest role in World War H. It was our closest outpost to Japan

Running and Having

Comes now proposed legislation to protect home buyers and home builders from imitation, by gov ernmental controls. Administra- tion of rulings always brings de- lay, and more delay. Now we need housing, and more housing. Natu- ral, competitive safeguards will provide better protection against imitation than rulings, as certainly as sturdy walls will keep out more cold than red tape.
 The strategy is to fix ceiling prices on residential property, new and old, to allocate building mate rials and regulate the transfer of new real estate Allocating mate rials means giving somebody right to say who can build and who can't. A crafty "co-ordinator'' with such authority could soon have a great many fellow citizens doing his bidding. America needs a V-B Day on bureaus.

German Staff Officers Gel
First Paroles for HOLIDAYS
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec 49,
Scores of former high officers of
the German general staff are visit
ing their families during the Christ
mas holidays for the first time since
the surrender under a new parole
system announced yesterday by
United States Army headquarters.
The staff officers we're among
recipients of 120 temporary paroles
given prisoners of war whose re-
tention beyond their normal dis
charge dates has been due to their
sHecial skills and knowledge" which
they contributed to the United
States Army, the announcement
said.
Although the German general
staff was acquitted, along with the
S. A. and the Reich cabinet, by the
international military tribunal at
Nuremberg, the Army still is await
ing orders from Washington to re-
lease about 235 staff officers from
custody.
Many are being used by the
Army's historical division to help
compile histories of the wars mill
tary operations.
Similar paroles, usually Of two
weeks, will be granted hundreds of
other eligibles among the $4,000
prisoners of war still in United
States custody who are not in auto
matte arrest categories.

Chinese Reds Capital
Found Able 10 Fight
Vigorously Till 1949
By John Roderick
ssoeioted Press Foreign Correspondent

ASSoclcfe0 FTeSS F0fet9h SoffesPoHuoH
PEIPING, Dec. 28.-Yenan, the
Communist capital, appears to be
capable of prosecuting fight
against the Chinese government
with mounting vigor at least until
1949.
That is my personal view based on
six months of observations and con-
versations with military and politi-
cal personalities in Communist
areas, including Yenan, from which
I Just returned
The most striking impression left
on the outsider visiting Yenan is
the general atmosphere of conf
dence and singleness of purpose.
The Communists are disappointed,
but not discouraged, by the largely
negative political developments of
the past year. They say the Kuo-
mintang government party) is un-
willing to have them participate in
the government on any sort of an
equitable basis and consequently
military struggle is inevitable.
Advantages for Communists.
There Was no doubt in Yenan of
the outcome of the test of arms and
many were certain that Communist
armies would win within six months
or certainly within a year.
A number of factors operate to
the Communists advantage. First is
the guerrilla type of fighting which
permits sustained resistance with
few losses.
A second factor is the size of the
grain reserves in Communist areas;
a third is the economic stability in
Communist areas and fourth is
the high morale and crusading spirit
of Communist armies.
In the government area there is
economic uncertainty, scarcity,
mounting costs of keeping millions
under arms, and disrupted commu-
nications. Whether this last has
been as damaging as the Commu-
nists expect is hard to say.
Economically, the border regions
under Yenan's control appear to be
never better off. The use of CO.
operatives and efficient grain dis
tribution in famine threatened
areas has averted the threat of
mass starvation which befell some
government provinces.
Bumper Grain Crop Harvested.
The Communists assert that no
one in their areas died for lack
of food. If true, this is remark
able. since supplies from the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration were a very small
flow.
Shensi, Kansu and Ningsia, Com
munist border provinces which are
usually the poorest, had bumper
grain crop and the Communists say
it provided a one-year reserve.
There is a shortage of cotton for
clothing, and the cotton must be
smuggled through a tight govern
ment blockade to supply only part
of the Communists needs.
BY Western standards, the lot of
the peasant in Communist areas
would be considered one of abject
poverty. By comparison with a
decade ago. the advance seems
marked, for starvation was common
in China's northwest as late as 1928.

Ribbentrop Aide Gets
Post in British Zone,
Beyond u. 5. Reach
By Dovid M. Nichol
Foreign Correspondent Of The sior and
the Chicoa6 Dolly News


BERLIN, Dec. 28.-In the curious
way in which these things happen
in postwar Germany, a once ardent
Nazi has turned up in an impor-
tant university position, and no one
seems able to do much about it..
He is DR.. Richard Sallet. who for
merly taught at Northwestern Uni-
versity in Evanston, Ill, worked
later for the Nazi Propaganda Min
istry, and was an official of the Ger
man Foreign Office under Won Rib
bentrop during the war.
In the new" Germany, where
youth programs are being much
stressed. Sallet has become secretary
to the rector of Goettingen Univer-
sity in the British zone.
United States officials have the
nsost interest in the man, because 1t
was with them that he dealt. Be-
fore Pearl Harbor. Sallet was head
of the American press section in
the Wilhelmstrasse. His job was to
be as unpleasant as possible to cor
respondents and Embassy personnel
and he was.
Refused to Speak English.
Clipped and precise, he spoke ex-
cellent English, but refused fire.
uuently TO use the hated" language,
working instead through interpre-
ters. Won Ribbentrop had said he
would not speak a word OF English
until Great Britain had been de-
feated, and Sallet took this as his
cue.
After Pearl Harbor, one of his
contributions to the war effort was
a widely reprinted article in which
he told how degenerate was the
American way of living, and de-
scribed American culture as SO much
sausage"
Because he is living in the British
zone, he is beyond American control.
He was brought to Berlin for ques-
tioning, however. One former United
States Embassy official, now in mill
tary government. described him as
"still an arrogant worm"
q. S. Weighs Protest.
The Americans. are considering an
Official protest to the British against
his continued employment. The
grounds would be that he is pre-
cisely the type of man the Allies do
not want in the delicate and tre-
mendously important task of re
educating" German youth. Anti
Nazi measures in the British zone
seem to have been applied less thor
oughly than in the American.
Sallet left Northwestern about the
time the Nazis came to power. Later
he represented Goebbels' Propa-
ganda Ministry in the United States
but was fired in 1886. He had cabled
a warning to Berlin that the Nazi
press campaign against Fiorello La
Guardia was helping to elect him
Mayor of New York.
1t was about this time that Sallet
formally joined the Nazi Party.
Later, in Berlin, he became
member of the so-called "Ribben-
tropdiest," or private staff of the
Nazi Foreign Minister who was
hanged as war criminal at Nuern-
berg. 1t was occupied chiefly with
the anti-Russ3an policies Of the
Nazis. He moved into the Foreign
Office itself when the war began.

Chinese Reds Attack
Paoting, Key Rail City
BY the Associated Press

PEIPING, Dec. 28-Paoting, key
railway city on the Peiping- -Hankow
line 80 miles southwest of Peiping,
was reported under fierce new Com
munist attack today.
Last fall the city Withstood pro-
longed Communist siege which was
broken by government troops in
October.
Government sources expressed
fears that the increasing on
slaughtes of guerrillas presaged an
immediate all-out offensive and
noted that attacks elsewhere in the
Peiping area suddenly had Stacked.
Pro-government reports said the
Communists had captured Tung-
Shihchiao, village five miles south
east of Paoting and encircled Peita-
jan, five miles south of the city. The
latter outpost was reported holding
firm against fierce assaults, however.
The Communists also were re-
ported closing in on Wangtu, 81 miles
southwest of Paoting, after four days
and nights of constant attack.
