about the aboriginal rights" hearings under which Alaska natives were invited to file claims huge land and water reservations in Alaska thereby effectively hatng intended development what lands available that small percentage not already held in Federal reserve
 At that time pointed out that the hearings would kill Southeast Alaskas hopes for pulp mill industry and the Secretary wrote long letter to in which he dismissed the idea fantastic. Never theess, the Secretary knows that the the project was halted - because the only suitable site available turned be part of the claims filed under the aboriginal rights hearings which still not settled.
 And not only was intended development halted by the scheme industries already established and are threatened
 Does the Secretary know that Alaska has more than thousand unemployed of its approximate 8O000 population? American capital would put these to work, given the opportunitybut little oppor tunty exists
 It seems doubtful to that American capital will sponsor controlled corporations to employ thousands of immigrants under present conditions.
 We believe that the best thing that could happen to Alaska would be the appointment of good man Secretary of the Interior who would good many of the impediments to the development of the Territory which have been built up by Ickes Then if American capital enticed to develop Alaska let Americans be put to work before begin bringing in immigrants.

ALASKAN CABBAGE BOARDS

Perhaps none of the far-flung areas where the U. s. Army is still stationing men is more dreary and desolate than Alaska in the win tertime. A peacetime army is still there, however, and what especially gripes CHS is the way they are kept busy
 Some of them are kept occupied making ornate cribbage boards for senior officers These boards are the most elaborate contraptions imaginable. Some of them require as many blueprints as are needed to construct a gun.
 : An especially fancy cribbage board for Maj. Gen. John B. Brooks took the form of an air. plane propeller, and is made of steel, aluminium and black plastic Others who had CHS construct ornate cribbage boards were Brig. Gen. Isaiah E. Davies and Brig. Gen. Harry A Johnson.
 It is difficult to realize how in- tricate these playthings are. Hours of work are spent on them, and mechanical engineers are required

HARRY HOPKINS, LAST
 CHANGE

Only his doctor knew it, but Harry Hopkins had one chance to live-though he wouldn't take it.
 His doctor, the famous Max Wolfe, also physician to Lord Louis Mountbatten, told Hopkins he had cancer of the mesenteric lymph glands, but could probably be sav- cd if he would go on a Freund non-fat diet and also cut out smok- ing.
 Hopkins, however refused. He used to tell people that, although he had taken a lot of kicking around, he had no complaints to make and felt he had got every minute out of life. In fact, just after Franklin Roosevelt died, Hop kins told Chip Robert that when he looked back on all the national and international crises he had ex- ',erienced, it seemed that he had lived 1000 years.
 So, when Hopkins refused to ac- cept Dr. Wolfe's order, Wolfe ar ranged for him to go to Doctors Hospital. And there Harry Hopkins, no longer interested in life since

WORLD WAR III

One of the German experts spoke up to say that when the Second Deficiency Bill is passed, the State Department will be able to hire four men to help handle German problems. At this, Panuch threw up his hands in despair; for 1t is estimated the State Depart ment will have to hire more than 1000 men to govern the U. s. zone in Germany.
 You felloE5 are playing with peanuts" remarked Marshall Mc- Duffie, of the Foreign Economic Administration, when you've got to govern several million people,"
 After the meeting broke up, Will liam Rudlin summarized the sit uation:
 "h generation from now when we're fighting World War H." he said, people will think back and try to fix the cause of the war. They'll figure out lot of compli- cated reasons And probably no one will realize that a few innocent, mediocre little officials, afraid of taking the initiative, afraid of ask ing Congress for money, were really the cnes who started World War III"

ICKES ON ALASKA

Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes proposes to open up Alaska by importing large numbers of immigrants from Europe. He would provide jobs by enticng American capital to spend money promoting government supervised Alaska Development Corpora tions"
 All of this, and more is contained in his recent magazine article which recently received the attention of Alaska Delegate Bob Bartlett in Washington
 Bartlett takes exception to the Secretarys conten- ton that there pioneers in America and -oints out that the rigid controls enforced by the Interior Department Alaskan lands has made 4Tderly development out of the question.
 We believe it is a fact that the regulations and ntrols of the Interior Department under Ickes has done than any thing to discourage American capital from developing Alaska American capital Invested in Alaska is assaied in the campaign by Ickes and his employees in Alaska against absentee ownership" Alaska would be nothing today were it not for the American capital that had to from the States for the development of our fishing and mining industry Even today Alaskans do not have the necessary capital for the proper development of Alaska providing the Interior Department would drop its attitude of obstructionism.
 During the war, and immediately after, Alaska re- ceived great deal of attention and publicity. Here new opportunity for the investment of more wealth producing capital in Alaska.

{. TRUMAN vS. FAULTY

Regardless of what you think of Ed Pauley, one thing should not be forgotten about his chief. President Truman is flatly opposed to Pauley regarding the disposition of sub merged oil lands.
 In fact, Truman is more vigor- o',s on this point than the late President Roosevelt. For several years, Secretary Ickes and Attorn- ey General Riddle had urged FDR to adjudicate the question of whether the States or the Federal Government own off shore oil- in other words, oil well drilled in land under water just off the coast. FDR, however, always hung back.
 But, just a few weeks after Tru- man became President, Riddle walked in and asked that this im- portant question be referred to the Supreme Court. Truman didn't hes itate. He gave his approval immed- lately.
 You'd better take some time to think it over,' Riddle cautioned. Its delicate question. It might he good idea to talk it over with Id Pauley"
 Truman did think it over, but he didn't change his mind. He told Riddle to go ahead with the suit regardless of the fact that most of Pauley's large oil fortune comes from submerged oil, despite the fact that Pauley helped materially to put Truman's nomination across at Chicago.
 Note-Texas is one state which won't be affected by the submerged oil suit. Its offshore lands were given it by a special treaty when it entered the Union.

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 12
HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 An increase in juvenile delin- quency threatens and the blame must he placed primarily on the lack of proper influences in the home. Respect for law begins with respect for parental authority. Undisciplined children vii almost certainly become undisciplined adults. Parents who refuse to recognize their obligations to their children and society and allow their young to ignore the rights of others, must share the guilt when their progeny run afoul of the law.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Many new products and services developed during the war will go on the market in the next few months. Housewives will be the chief beneficiaries as labor saving home appliances will be in the ma jority. Old-established firms will be the principal producers, but some will reappear under new brand names.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A revival of the old fight against vivisection soon will sweep the na- ton. The medical profession it. self is not agreed on the possible advantages of experimental sur gerry on dogs and other animals and dog lovers in particular are de manding that the practice be stop ped.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Jealousies and suspicion among interested nations will delay the resumption of full-scale world trade. A greater obstacle will be the inability of some nations to finance their actual needs, These problems will be resolved in time.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A hand some return on investments and a broader field of business opportun- ity. Needless expenditures should be avoided.
 Children born on this day will be precociouS and unSelfiSh. They should be encouraged in their earl fest creative efforts.

Hoyt Taylor, the Naval Research Laboratory's chief con- sultant for electroncs, ready to at the Navys Chesapeake Bay Annex North Beach, Md. The Navy has thought of sitting quietly by while the Army reaches for the moon.
 Dr. Taylor probably thinking solely of uphold ing the prestige of the Navy in the scientific field There is indication that he intended to influence Congress the admirals the public. Yet his state ment is of the most pointed arguments we have heard for merger of the armed forces It illustrates with much more clarity than the light of full moon the waste and futity of maintaining separate Army and Navy scientific establishments each dupi- eating the work of the other Surely radar will react the same in Navy hands in Army hands. Surely too the will be indifferent to the service af- fliations of the experimenters It is pity that the Navy does not have some device for testing the re- actions of the public to this costly duplication of scientific work We suspect that the result would be a laundering protest against all efforts to maintain two defense establishments with neither unification of common work unity of command

A shortening that has everything!
It's odorless, tasteless, smokeless up
to 42OoF. and pre-whipped for easy
creaming in cakes and pies.
Meat packers have been trying
desperately for years to produce a
satisfactory shortening to utilize
their extra fats. Now comes the
answer and from the firm that boasts
of marketing the first canned ham,
the first canned chicken, the first
ready-to-eat soups. Previously the
rendering of animal fats was done
by heat application which resulted
in a product often lacking uni
formity.
In the new shortening the oils are
basically separated from the fatty
tissues, and no heat treatment is
required.
NEW ROOFS developed in the war
years are getting their final groom
ing for market appearance. Before
