VETERANS LEGISLATION

The Territorial Senate worked long and hard last Saturday as a Committee of the Whole hearing the testimony of veterans of World War II who would benefit from s. B g. introduced by the Committee on Veterans Affairs, providing for loans or bonuses, and containing means of raising the money to do the job with all possible dispatch.
 From the start one thing apparent Certain subtle forces had been at work among the veterans organizations in Juneau and these forces had suc- ceeded in splitting the veterans asunder causing them to fight and picker among themselves opening the way for eventual defeat of any constructive veterans legislation-at least at this short special session
 The veterans had no quarrel with the bill-they in favor of it and it's provisions But influence from outside the veterans organizations had exered the pressure and started fight among the veterans over the form of tax used to finance the bill
 The first red herring lowed across the path was: "The people of Alaska will point the finger of at the veteran the who brought the sales tax to Alaska
 This the first attempt to scuttle the veterans legislation and some of them for it hook, line and sinker.
 We do not believe for one moment that the people of Alaska when they understand that they going to be asked to pay tax for specific purpose-to repay their debt to the Alaska veteran-s going to object bit to any form of tax especially if they also told the truth about the and that the tax
 
 obligated.
 On the contrary, believe that because of this repeal provision, and because the tax measure is coupled in the bill with the authorization of veterans loans and bonuses. it will have much favorable reception That is advantage of having the of raising the money in the bill and another is that it will mean that the Legislature considers the whole thing in b already in second reading in the Senate This is short session There is very little chance that bills net already introduced bills that have yet been prepared will be acted upon this session Why consider two bills for the veteran when you get both features in bill and save that much time and red tape?
 The veterans can take a lesson from organized labor in Alaska. The best bill yet offered for labor the Green -Shattuck Workmen's Compensation Act would have been scuttled if certain legislators had their way. But labor has acted unit and strong one picking out the Shatuckw Bill the best shunng aside attempts at delay, shunting aside sub stitutes not good taking definite stand going forward unit As a result, the laboring is going to get the first bit of progressive labor legislation in a long time.
 Is the veteran going to suffer because of squab- ble over how his money is to be raised? And more

been hoarding feed grains, chiefly corn, will be required to reduce the amount of grain on hand. The Government. will probably inspect their inventory and set a limit cn the amount of inventory each grain dealer can hold.
 CD Preference certificates for grain shipments may be issued. In other words, the Department of Agriculture would require grain to be shipped to certain areas whe'e the present feed shortage is most acute.
 At present, New England, the eastern United States and tho West Coast are suffering most from the feed shortage. Dairy and poultry farmers are especially hard up for feed. Therefore, the Department of Agriculture would issue certificates permitting grain to have preference if shipped to these needy areas.

No measure as drastic as this is contemplated but it is believed that preference certificates for grain shipments will help to remedy the situation. Agriculture Department surveys show that considerable grain, chief ly corn, is being hoarded by deal CTS who refuse to sell at OPA price levels and are speculating that the OPA may suffer a setback in Con- gress and not be extended beyond June 30 of this year.

 1 The scheduled walk-out of the rrainmen and Engineers on Mon day was nullified under the Rail way Labor Act by the President S appointment of an emergency fact finding board, for the Act provides that there can be no strike for 30 days after the Board is named and then for another 30 days allotted to the Board to make report fol- lowing fact-finding investigation

There are so many ~perplexing prob

Here is this matter of having a home

The Red Cross needs a home. Now
it is scattered about town, with one
branch here, another there, still an
other someplace elsa condition that
lessons the effectiveness of it's service
and multiplies the tasks of the workers.
1t is reasonably questioned if this is
a good time to buy, considering the high
level of real estate prices. Current in
%flationary trends have sent prices far
above normal. Should the Chapter spend
available funds, or take on a financial
obligation, for a home of it's W now
or wait until the price tide subsidies
so that its investment would not be
above the normal price level?
1t is a vexing question, indeed. One
solution would be for some pronertv
