KETCKIkANMEN \ ADD TO MARGIN
 IN ALLEY MEET
Local Lddy Bowlers See Advantage Dwindle in
 Second Round Ldqging

Gaining the feel Of the local alleys, invading Ketchikan Elks bowlers went 10 work in both mems and ladies' divisions last evening in the second round of the inter city matches now being rolled off here.
 While the lady laggers from the First City were busy peeling the local gals first round lead down to mere IA pins, the Ketchikan lodge men laid it heavy on 420's representatives piling 199 pins onto their former 76-pin margin for a 275-point two-round margin. That solid lead gives the Ketchikaners a commanding position the rest of the way nIt in the five-round match.
 Again it was big third game with Jack Meloca hitting highest that left Juneaus rollers rocking in the Ketchikan wake. though last night the local men were unable to finish in frOot in even one game.
 A familiar roller new in the Ju- neau lineup Erv Hagerup, turned in the top performance for Juneau but even he was oyermatched by Ketchikan's Gay Holland and Ma loca.
 On the ladies' end of last nights rolling, Elza Oaksmith had large part in knocking the edge off the first-sound Juneau lead, supported strongly by Libby Oaksmith and Mae Pederson. Dark horse Nadine Metcalf showed best for the local ladies.
 No rolling is slated on the Elks alleys today, the third round of the inter-city matches going over till Thursday to clear the way for lodge meeting this evening. Last nights Second-round scores were.

ericans as the little country which always paid it's debts. Now, how ever, the U. s. is getting the repu- tation among Films as a country which breaks it's financial promises.
 What happened is that one year ago Finland sent trade delegation here to arrange for a S70,000,00 loan from the Export Bank. The loan was promised, and on the basis Of this promise, the Films made purchases amounting to $35,- 100000 in the United States, with partial commitments for the re- maining $35,O00,00O.
 Part of the deal was that Fin land was to secure coal from this country which in turn would help increase her newsprint production. Many American newspapers made arrangements to buy this extra newsprint.
 However, something has now caused the State Department to re- verse itself The Export Import Bank loan to Finland has been held up.

mistake of releasing the AcheSon- Lilienthal report on atomic energy shortly before Baruch was appoint cd to be U. S. atomic delegate to the United Nations. Had the Ache son report been held up and hand ed to Baruch privately, he could have issued it himself and doubt less it would be official U s. policy today.
 Baruch, however, called in his Wall Street experts, John Hancock of Lehman Brothers and invest ment banker Ferdinand Eberstadt, who worked out separate atomic energy policy. For more than a week afterward, Baruch and his advisers met secretly with Acheson at Blair House, across from the State Department, trying to recon cile their conflicting viewpoints They are still not together. And Bernie has virtually indicated that he won't play ball unless he gets his way.

This newspaper believes that on the basis of the gains made under a Democratic administration in Alaska, which check of the record will bring out, that the Democrats deserve return to office right down the line The Democratic can didates have not campaigned very strenuously this year. rather depending upon the long record behind them
 Checking the record find the following com- harrison between the last Republican administration and the last Democratic year:
 Republicans gave $110O0 for biennium to the Pioneers Home the Democrats S3O669O
 For Health and Sanitation-Republicans $19,200 Democrats S133,SS0.
 Support of Schools-Republicans $955,OOO Demo- crats $2,121,254.
 Old Age Allowances 0OO from the Repub- lcans $7OOOOO from the Democrats.
 For Relief of Destitution-$20000 from the Re- pubcans, $3OOOOO by the Democrats
 Under the Democratic administration juvenile program has been created with a fund of several hundred thousand dollars bennium for it; the Terri tory has it's own Department of Labor large-scae program to combat tuberculosis has been financed; Alaska has a large-scae program underway to aid returning veterans, and already more than a million dollars in loans have been provided The Republicans would abolish the which made this latter program possible.
 Under the Democratic administration Alaska has received the highest benefits in history in the form of Federal aid
 Against this factual record, the Republican can ddates offer you vague promises.
 We urge you to look into the record before you vote tomorrow, we believe mos: ilaskanS will agree with us in support of the Democratic Partys record in Alaska over the past 13 years.

ELECTION TOMORROW

With the statehood referendum on tomorrows ballot along with several bitterly contested fights for notcal office tomorows general election vote should be one of the largest in the history of Alaskan elections.
 Great interest is focused Alaska because ot the referendum on statehood Pro-staehood organizations have been active for many months presenting argu- ments in favor of statehood Hardly anything has been heard from the opposition
 Those in favor of such a move argue that under statehood Alaskans could control their own destiny politically with two Senators and Representative in Washington to represent them Under statehood Alaska would receive many Federal aid benefits now granted to the other States but denied to Alaska. Alaska would have control of it's In brief Alaska would have real rule matters of local con- cern and would be on equal footing with the States in receiving Federal aid.
 As far as have been able to find out, no one Tn Alaska has taken a stand against statehood. Argu- nents put forth against statehood but against statehood now at this particular time These persons argue that statehood would be too much for Aaskas small axpaying population, arguing that even now we have great difficulty raising enough money for our limited Territorial functions Under statehood we would have to carry the burden of State court system jails etc They argue that though other Territories became States with small populations, the case is different today because of the large Federal tax burden which not in evidence 50 100 years

PRIMA DONNA BAIUCH

Elder statesman Bernie Baruch s Geud with Henry Wallace isn't the only one he has been waging late ly. He was careful to call a press conference and make sure that his Wallace row hit the headlines But he hasn't wanted publicity regard ing the backstage feud he has car ried on with Undersecretary Of State Dean Acheson over the same subject-the atomic bomb.
 The spectacle of the rampant MT. Baruch stridently defending his prestige as an elder statesman has made some people around the State Department wonder: Is Bernie an elder statesman or a prima donna? Bernie, who personally is one of the most-loyed people arou n d Washington, simply can't bear to have his authority challenged. To differ with Bernie is a personal at- front, as even his great and good friend Jimmie Byrnes discovered At one time Bernie was even row. ing with Jimmie.

Some gov- ernment officials maintain that the Finnish people are overwhelmingly American and that a loan would more than offset what indi- rect aid might go to Russia.

 The New York Times and other papers banned Walter Winchell for allegedly causing the stock market crash when he quoted General De- Gaulle as believing there would be war between the United States and Russia. However, the same papers did not give Winchell a line of ere dit when DeGaulle in his speech last week confirmed Winchell up to the hilt. DeGaulle warned the French people of clash between an ambitious grouping of Slavs" and young America overllowing with resources" -. Time Maga- zine last week went further than any other newspaper or newSmaga- zine by calling the President of the United States a liar. While a lot of us don't agree with the President, and a lot of us may consider him inept or even clumsy. nevertheless he's our President, and we only de- grade the position of our country when we call the head of the na- ton liar.

(Continuea rom Page One) enlistment drive 1t is going to have hard time with certain G1's who recall the promises made the last time they enlisted. One of those promises was that those who en- listed for a year would get thirty days extra furlough in addition to their regular thirty-day furlough. It was on that basis that they en- listed for one year and one month.
 Now. however, they find that the extra furlough is not going to be forthcoming. It's out the window.
 War Department circular 25l can- cels the re-enlistment furlough promised to GI's, and there is noth- ing the men who took the army at it's word can do about it.
 The War Department explains that it was forced to cancel this furlough under the Armed Forces Leave Act passed by Congress last summer. In other words, the Army says, that after it promised the extra thirty days leave, Congress took it away. This was done when Congress voted to put enlisted men on the same proportionate basis as officers regarding terminal leave, at which time it also voted that enlistment furlough leave counts against terminal leave.
 How much the Army did to guide Congress on this legislation IS not known Usually the Army can te quite potent on Capitol Hill At any rate, good many thousand enlisted men who signed up for a year are now sore as blaz- and will think twice before signing up again.

They also claim that the operation of a State government in Alaska would be far more expensive than any the other States because of the huge size of Alaska and the high costs of communications and transportation involving distances great as from one coastal line of the continental United States to the other They also claim that increased taxes would discourage development of Alaska by capital from Outside-and that communities such Juneau would actually lose Federal money when functions now pro viding a large Federal payroll taken over by the where they would have to be supported by Alaska taxes and not taxes collected all .over the United States

Wahoo's Buddy won the shooting

windup yesterday of the annual
spring trial of the National Capital

ford Farm near Poolesville, Va.
A lemon and white pointer,

his victory with an independent
find shortly after being released at
the start of the race. Well ahead
of his handler, he froze into a per-
feet point on hedgerow and held
it under trying circumstances.
His bracemate at first honored
the point and then moved off, but
Buddy held while his handler dis
mounted, climbed a fence and
flushed the covey of quail. Buddy
still didn't move a muscle at the
shot until released by Stadtler. 1t

bird work seen in recent trials, and
although he didn't make another
