 after the last depression. Labor must continue to have the opportunity through free collective bargaining and free political action, to improve the lot of workers and to increase their participation in public affairs.
 F.D.R.'S OBJECTIVES
 Labor, perhaps more than any other group, has consistently sup. ported the objectives set forth in Franklin ID. RoOsevelt's memorable Economic Bill of Rights.' We must now move forward to full achievement of those Objectives 1; useful and remunerative jobs for all; incomes high enough to pro- vide adequate food, clothing and recreation; freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopoly; adequate health protec- tion; more effective social security measures; and educational Oppor- tunity for all.
 Labor, too, has been in the fore front of the battle to end intolerance and wipe out bigotries of race, creed and color.

Incomes Creep Slowly Behind
 Price Spirals
1945 Average Barely 29o Above "A Level But
 Costs Run Away

WASHINGTON CPD - Despite the sharp contraction in war pro. duction after V-J' day, America's $ per capita income increased slight. Iy in l945, rising go over l944's rate of $l, ,l33, the Commerce De. partment has announced.
 The 1945 average of $1 ,150 includes wages and salaries, income from busi- nesses and farms, rent, dividends, in terest, royalties and military depend ency benefits. It does not reveal, how ever, the severity of readjustment problems in reconversion industries since income of manufacturers is av- eraged in with reduced income of the workers.
 Main value of the report is the overall picture it gives of dollars takel home by the average family, compared to widely known rises in the cost of living.
 The New York figure of $l ,595 and Mississippi's $556 illustrate the wide range among the states. Inn mediately below New York comes California with $l, ,48O; Connecti- cut, $l,499; Washington, $l, ,4O7; Delaware, 1921; Dist. of Column bia, $l,36l and Illinois, $1,36O.
 Low states, next to Mississippi, were South Carolina and Arkansas.
 Greatest declines during the year were registered in Michigan, with a 6%o drop, and Washington with 59o, both war-industry states. Gains were made in the farm states of South Da- kota, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado and New Hampshire

 Labor Day, 1o46, sees America a nation of full production with bumper crops and the chances of peace for many years a possibility. These condi- tions prevail because our people have worked to make them realities. They are, in no small measure the result of our wartime victory.

(By The Associated Press)

Riding high on the 2lst victory of cool-headed Larry Jansen, San Francisco's joyous Seals cavorted two games ahead of Oaklands Stalkers today in the Pacific Coast Baseball League.
 The opening game of a seven- tilt series with a potential of mak- ing or breaking a pennant bid end- cd last night in a breeze for the loop-leading Seals, who won 9-4 from the hapless Oaklanders.
 The Seattle Rainiers struck from the loop cellar to bash the Port land Beavers 3-1 in a game which made Lou Novikoff lcok worth the expensive price tag that came at tached to him. In his best per- formance since joining the Rain iers, Novikoff got three singles and a double and sacrificed in five times at bat. Glenn Elliott on a five-hit performance blanked the Beavers until the ninth inning.
 Third-place Los Angeles shaded the Hollywood stars GA with home runs by Ed Sauer and George Archie paying the high dividends.
 The San Diego Padres nosed out the Sacramento Solons 3-2.

GOA C0kvENTI0N WAS IMPRESSIVE,
 SAYS MRS. HEiLAN

Mrs Walter c Hellan returned tc Juneau on the Baranof after attending the twenty-first biennial national convention of tka Catholic Daughters of America as an Alas ka representative. The convention was held from July to l2 at the Hotel Jefferson in St. Louis, Mo.
 Representative from all states, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Alaska were present for the meetings as well as many guests among the Hierarchy The program fer the tour-day convention included var icus banquets, dedications and ad- dresses in carrying out the conven- ton theme which was World Un- ity Through Christ"
 1 All the Courts represented at the meeting were designated by posters and various other methods. The poster representing Alaska was made by a member of the Ketchi- kan Court and consisted of a map of Alaska with all the missions indicated. According to Mrs. Hell Ian, this map, because of it's un- usual features created a great oeal of interest among other represen- tatives present. Everyone seemed to entertain great deal of con- cern for Alaskan affairs with special interest being shown for the high way
 AffdirS Considered
 Among the many worldwide al- fairs considered at the Catholic Daughters of America meetings was the support of the Wagner Ellender- Taft low-cost housing bill Msgr John O'Grady of Washington, D. C., secretary of the National Confer ence of Catholic Charities spoke at luncheon urging that the bill be passed. The bill if approved would authorize building 500,0o0 housing units for families unable to pay more than $20 a month rent. In this way many of the slum districts would be replaced, and people would be given a de- cent place to live
 Mrs. Hellan also mentioned the fact that Communism was discuss ed at the lectures throughout the meetings. Resolutions were passed by the Catholic group urging that the Communist party be deprived of legal status, denouncing anti Semitism, opposing socializeu meol- cine and condemning the methods If totalitarian governments to con- trol agencies for the dissemination of information.
 1 On one occasion Mrs Hellan was particularly impressed by a speech given by the Most Rev William J. Hafey, Bishop of Scran- ten, Pa, and National Chaplain of the GOA, in the Cathedral of St. Louis, in a mass celebrated July g. Another program which was out standing included singing by choir of small children from the Holy Cross Church
 The Cathedral of St. Louis was the scene of many of the Conven- tion's activities. In this Cathe- dral Cardinal Gleenon has been en- tombed in front of All Souls Chap el. His red hat, the symbol of the office he held, is hanging above the crypt.
 Junior Day
 One of the days in the Conven- tion mentioned by Juneau's repre- sentative was Junior Day At this time Juniors and Juniorettes from Centralia, Illinois, presented a play and enacted different portions of their work
