THEY ARE ALI BUSY AT HIGH SCHOOL ON SHOW FRIDAY MIGHT

"On stage, everybody is the current cry around the Juneau High School And practically ev- erybody, faculty as well as stu dents, responds.
 Music and tap dancing in the gym mingle with sounds of hammer and saw as the stage for Friday nights show is built. Normally dignified and reserved faculty mem bers are caught executing tap rou- tines along the halls or orating with gestures" as they hurry to practice periods with the groups they sponsor.
 The Home Economies room is tulging with pink and blue ma terials and costumes in various stages of completion, and makeup comes in for serious discussion.
 Sophisticated members of the Boys Rifle Club wear worried looks and rush about muttering Gold dust, fur caps, piano, pistols, milk, !" as they collect properties for use in their presentation.
 All this activity should mean a worthwhile show Friday night, November g, at o'clock in the High School gymnasium.

Largest Paper User

With increasing frequency we note
references in newspapers and magazines
to the decreasing national stockplle OF
paper. Organizations that did such
splendid work in salvaging scarce ma
terials during the wal are warned that
they may be called on again to conduct
waste paper drives to replenish dwindl-
ing reserves.
Now comes word, via the Wall Street
journal, that the Government Printing
Office turned out twenty-five billion
copies of publications during 1915 and
is now using a million pounds of paper
daily.
Two of the most widely circulated
publications are the Congressional Rec
ord and the Federal Register. When
Congress is in session the Government
Printing Office turns out a daily run of
1880 copies of the Record. Averaging
fifty-six pages to the issue, $1,000
copies of the Register come off the press
daily.
Perhaps it will be easier to envision
the million pounds of paper the govern
ment consumes daily by noting that the
Star and the News consume between
$500 and 1000 pounds of newsprint
every t%wenty-four hours.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 - R -
The late Pre- sident Franklin Del
n Roosevelt agreed with Pre-
mier Stain as far back as the
Tehran conference in 1943 that in
dividual veto power vas necessary
to the unified action by the Big
Three which he considered es-
sential in the postwar world. y
Elliott Roosevelt tells the story
in this weeks Look magazine in
the third Of four excerpts from
his forthcoming book.
The visit to Tehran also was a
time of much weighing of person
a%lities, the excerpt shows. The
President was emphatic in his
liking for Stain.
After his first encounter with
Madame Chang Kia-Shek, Elliott
felt that she has for so long a
time delt with people - and es-
pecially men - on the basis OF
winning charm and stimulated in
terest that by now it is her
second nature. And I would fear
to watch her first nature at work.
Frankly, it would terrify me"
When he communicated his
thoughts to his father the elder
Roosevelt replied:
II don't know that I'd put it as
strongly she's an opportunist
-. I'd certainly not like to be
known as her enemy but
China must be kept in the war ...
with all their shortcomings we've
got to depend on the Chiangs."

Russia Wants Geneva

Russia, having re-established diplo-
matte relations with Switzerland, and
Geneva being nearer Moscow than any
city in the United States, it is now re-
ported that the Soviet Union will de-
mand that the Swiss city which was
headquarters of the League of Nations
be also the headquarters of the United
Nations.
The Russian position has been re-
versed since Andrea Vishinski declared
a year ago that a new world organlza-
ton should be established in the new
world. 1t is less surprising than alarm
ing to note how many times the Rus
sian position has been reversed since
the San Francisco Security Conference
which gave birth to the United Nations,
and what a large percentage of the re-
versals have been directed against the
United States.
The dispatch revealing Mr.. Vishin-
skis present position says that at the
forthcoming session Of the United Ma
lions Assembly there is liable to develop
a three-cornered fight among San Fran
cisco, New York and Geneva, with
Geneva having the edge on the other
two cities chiefly because the Reds
favor it.
Mr.. Vishinski is not a free agent. Rus
STA has no free agents. All it's agents
of whatever kind act only on instruc-
lions from Moscow. Naturally, with
Moscow doing it's best to get the upper
hand in world affairs, and succeeding
beyond all reason, he is used as Mos
cows spokesman in an effort to have
the United Nations set up housekeeping
in Europe, which Moscow proposes to

too long. PUBLIC opinion should compel
them to live up to their constitutional
oath of office, even though law enforce
ment does offend labor dictators-or
anybody else.
"Of course this new-or rather ola
freedom might have to be implement
ed during the emergency of 'reconver-
sion to a free country, by the police
power of a ~revitalized national govern
ment.. Congress should make manda-
tory the use of the national police power
in any community where a citizens con-
stitutional right to go unmolested to
and from his chosen place OF employ
ment is denied.
Further to implement this return
to freedom, the taxpayers should be re-
lieved of the burden of financing idle
ness by unemployment compensation
paid to strikers. -"
It is not unfair to think that labor
peace can never be established as long
as the Wagner Act remains the law OF
the land. It's repeal is an imperative
need. Yet President Truman told re-
norters at his last press conference tina
ho can see no reason for calling Con-
qress into extraordinary session.

Roosevelt Had Agreed With Stain
On Necessity of Veto For Progress

ing Gen. Marshall fight off
Churchiu's desire for invastions
of Malaga and the Balkans instead
of Northern France.
The British didn't approve
island hopping in the Pacific, the
President said, wanting to work
up the China coast to bases from
which Japan could be attacked,
and they did not understand
American emphasis on the Philip
pines as a base.
perhaps the British don't ap-
preciate the fact that the Flip
mos will rally to our flag mas
much as they (Britons) could
hardly expect their colonials to
rally to theirs" the President
is quoted as commenting.
Regarding the Balkans. the
elder Roosevelt said 1.-The P. M.
-. is scared of letting the Rus
slams get too strong. Maybe the
Russians will get strong in
Europe. Whether that's bad de-
ponds on a whole lot of factors.
49,. I see no reason for putting
the lives of American soldiers in
jeopardy in order to protect real
or fancied British interests in
Europe"
The biggest result at Tehran in
the Presidents eyes, his son says,
was in making clear to Stain that
the United States and Britain
were not aligned in one common
bloc gainst the Soviet Union. THE
one thing that could upset the ap-
plecart after the war" said Roose-
welt, "is if the world is divided
again, Russia against England
and u.s."
