WASHINGTON-In his inaugur- al address of March 4, 1883, the late Franklin D. Roosevelt began his career as President of the United States by telling the people.
 ."The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.'
 In his last public address, which he had written to deliver on April 13, 1945, he ended that career by telling the people of America:
 "The only limit to our realiza- ton of tomorrow will be our doubts of today"
 Tn the first speech he was re- ferring to a crisis in our country. In the last, he was speaking or a crisis in the world.
 The war had not yet ended when Roosevelt wrote those words, but victory was in sight. Therefore, when he used the phrase, "our doubts of today" he was not re- ferring to the crisis of World War H.

STALIN pEALS pRIvATEWAR
 VICTORY BELL
KremIin's Triumph Alone Is Defeat of Jdps-In
 Soviet Version

MOSCOW. Sept. 3.-The official newspaper Pravda accused the United States today of stripping Japan and also of seeking to re- juvenate that country into an American-ruled watchdog against the peoples of the Far East
 The comments were part of Rus sia's observance of her V-J Day. From Prime Minister Stalin down, no official press mention was made of the American or British con- tribution to the defeat of Japan. Nor was there mention of the atomic bomb, two of which ex- ploded at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the last days of the Oriental phase of the war.
 Russia declared war on Japan or August 8, 1945 and Japan sur rendered Sept. 2, after being at war with the United States since Dec. T. 1941
 Pravda and other Russian news papers took the line that Japan still was dangerously strong and would have fought for years had not Russia entered that war.
 c5sz. Q. DAr

STRIKE PICKET LINE

Striking for 25 percent pay raise the Bartenders Union, Local 869, on Sunday threw picket lines around nine bars and two hotels in the Gastineau Channel area.
 Strike bound were the Baranof Hotel, the Alaska Hotel Corbetts Bar, Triangle. Midget, Arctic, Capi- tol, Victory and Dreamland in Ju- neau and Mikes and Oasis Bar in Douglas.
 Decision for strike was announc- ed at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon and pickets were stationed before Lars and cocktail lounges at Q D. m.
 The action followed series of Bartenders meetings culminating Saturday night in final discussion and strike ultimatum concerning the proposed pay raise in the new contract.
 FAY DEMAND
 The Bartenders' previous contract under which employees were paid SIP day expired August 3L An- nouncement of "a new and higher pay demand" was Issued by the Bartenders on the required "30 day notice" July 23, according to RcLert Smith. President of the To- cal Bartenders Union. On August Is the definite rate of $l5 a day for the new contract was announce ed to all bar and cocktail operators in the Gastineau Channel area, the Bartenders' President said
 At the Saturday afternoon meet ing in the AFL Hall. Smith argued that the new pay demand was justi- liable on grounds that it was the first wage increase asked by the bartenders since the war. During the war bartenders in Juneau worked for $l0 day. A year ago they asked for and were granted establishment of the pre-war wage of SIP a day
 OTHER WAGE SCALES
 smith also quoted bartender wage scales in other Territorial cities and in the States as argument that the present pay demand was mot unreasonable. Tn Fairbanks bar tenders receive S16 day and in Nome SIS. Bartenders in Seattle receive $13.5o and in San Francisco nsiderably more. He said that union members in Ketchikan and Juneau were paid less than in any other areas in Alaska.
 Although majority of Juneau bar and cocktail operators have been paying bartenders sl5 day, Smith said they refused to make the rate official by putting it in the contract.
 WISE CITED
 Jack Fletcher, Manager of the Baranof and Gastineau Hotels, said that operators could not sign a contract with bartenders for $l5 day because the Wage Stabilization Board had in previous cases of sim | liar nature refused to allow in crease in wages to be passed on to the public and higher prices undoubtedly would do so in the present situation. He said the Board had ruled that such in- creases be paid "out of the opera tors pockets"
 1 When the strike was first an- nounced Fletcher stated that the Baranof Hotel and Gastineau Ho- tel would be forced to close" He further added that the union mem bers ''are striking against the pub 1 lie this time and causing a whole sale housing disaster Jack Kris tan. manager of the Alaska Hotel agreed there seems to be nothing we can do but close"

Nelson Warns GuardNeeded
 Against Army
Economic, Social System Imperiled, Former
 WIPE Chief Advises

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Donald M. Nelson hoisted a warning to- day for the nation to be on guard, mot only in war but in peace" :" against widening military influ- ence.
 In his book, Arsenal of Dem ocracy' to he published this week, the former War Production Board chairman declares that the Army largely took control of the civil ian economy in 1914 after trying throughout the war to wrest that authority from him.
 Henceforth. Nelson wrote, the Army will cease to be a neglected step-child in peacetime and will become "one of the most im- portant and influential branches of our government"
 Clear Lesson Taught
 "The lesson taught by these re- cent years of war is clear he con- tinued, "our whole economic and social system will be in peril if it is controlled by the military men
 Nelson took note of the widely advertised production crisis os l944, declaring that it was spurious but served to divert attention from the Army's own miscalculations."
 'Tfe record shows" he wrote, that in not a single instance after the critical early period of l942-did an American fighting man at the front have to go without munitions because of any failure in production.
 Dangerous Double Talk
 The Army's deliberate attempt to create 8 contrary impression was one of the most dangerous bits of double talk I ever heard of
 Nielsen contended that the heads of the Army and Navy joined with James F. Byrnes, then War Mob- ilization Director, to remove him IS WIPE Chairman in 1943 and re- place him with Bernard M. Baruch.
 The attempt was thwarted, Nell son said, when he got wind of the plan and promptly dismissed Ferdinand Eberstadt, a WIPE Vice Chairman who favored the Army's view and who was to have become Baruch's deputy.

 TO LOST PLANE

Discovery of floating articles thought possibly connected with the missing Privateer plane missing since November 30 on flight from Kodiak to Seattle called the Coast Guard Cutter McLane from port here this week end.
 The McLane sailed under orders from District co headquarters at Ketchikan to investigate the dis covery, made by a trapper, Vernon Ccol. off the west coast of Long Island, of rubber seat cover, a parka and an oar.
