MARY CRANE emptied the last
4Vl tub and stood it against the
shed to drain, signing her thanks
that if she must wash clothes on
Christmas Day the job was at least
over and done with by noon. She
had just returned to the kitchen
when a knock came at the door.
1t was her neighbor, Hattie jamie
son, decked out in her finest.
Aren't you the one," Hattie ex-
claimed, washing clothes on
Christmas Day!"
Mary conceded it wasn't the best
way to pass the day, but added that
it must be done.
II wonder if you'd do me a ia
vor?" Hattie asked. John and
Fanny have asked us to come to
town for Chr 'stmas dinner and the
tree tonight You know, times were
little tough for Henry and me this
year, so took those two little State

why, of course" Mary replied,
smiling. 1T will make Christmas
for me, who was spendin' it alone.
What time will they Gomez"
"Fanny's sending the car for us
about five o'clock, and we'll drop
them off here on the way"
After Hattie had left, Mary unused
that she didn't suppose the Lord
thought Fanny's children too good
to mingle with these two orphans,
but after a moment she realized
there was much to be done. BY five
o'clock she had walked to the store
and spent her few pennies on two
tiny pair of red mittens, which we're
now hanging on the little spruce
tree Mary had cut in the back yard.
And in the kitchen a hot, hearty
supper was waiting.
Mary sat in the living room, wait
ing. Lucky I did that extra wash
ing today, so l feel justified spend
ing those pennies on the youngsters.
Those children must have a Christ
mas, and maybe" she sighed-'I
shan't have a home another year!"
Waiting there in the old rocker,
her head dropped slowly, and Mary
Crane fell asleep. -.
zone thing I'd like to do before
dinner" rich old Andrew Craig said
to his wife. "S'pose there's time?
You remember Mary Crane had
some tough luck a few years back.
She borrowed money from the bank
on her house and couldn't keep up
the payments. Well, the directors
decided not to give her any more
time.

II couldn't help remembering our
lean years, Sue, when Mary was
our neighbor and worked day and
night to pull you through pneumonia.
So l just gathered in that debt
it was only few hundreds-and
had some papers made out to Mary.
I'd kind of like to take them out
to her on Christmas night"
Sue pulled his head down and
kissed him. "It will take just 10
minutes to pack basket for you
to take along" she reckoned swift
ly. IF you drive there and back in
half an hour, you can do it. Re-
member, we have guests coming!"
1t was showing when Andrew
ahghted from the car. A lamp
showed him Mary's kitchen through
the window. the CHEEKY tree, and
the sleeping old lady. He tip-toed in
and placed his basket on the table,
papers on top. The latching Of the
door aroused Mary.
Her small guests rushed in few
minutes later to find Mary holding
the papers to her heart her face
alight with JOY.

We much impressed by the argument of the La e-Monroney Committee for giving Congress better international facilities During the war years Congress approprating roughly hundred billion dollars annually It is conservatively estimated that it must direct the spending of 25 billion dollars year in peacetime Beyond that it will be adopting national policies with far-reaching effects upon the lives of all of Certainly body carrying such heavy responsibilities should have all the resources of information that reasonably use. At present however, Congress has a research establishment en- ploying only 75 persons, one third of whom are at professional grades, and spending Sl9S,00o year. The La Toilette Monroney Committee asks that this research agency the Legislative Reference Service be granted $5000O0 for the next fiscal year and ultimately allowance of $750000 The idea is not, of course to duplicate the experts available through the executive departments. Congress must always call upon such experts for technical informa-
 on in their respective fields But in addition to this Congress needs qualified research workers of it's own who can colate data from many sources, run down information that cannot be secured from any executive agency and in the of highly controversial sub ecs provide objective, factual studies unobtainable elsewhere.
 For similar reasons the committee would expand the Office Legislative Counsel and provide small expert staffs for the reduced number Of standing committees recommended in the report These are basic essentials Nation must not be left to rely on lawmakers" the committee rightly says, whose only sources of information which to base important
  CT handouts from business groups and governmental agencies. pure and unbiased stream of information is necessary for the making of sound decisions"
 A special concern at the moment is information about this report itself Needless to say 1t should be required reading for every member of Congress-ooth the report and great deal of the data on which 1t IS based. We think of no more important study for members of Congress than this selfanalysis of the organism of which they a part The public, too needs to be informed the subject. In the last analysis Congress is likely to act on this urgent pro- gram of self-rehablitation only if the people are pressing it. And the people cannot demand action on it unless they know about it and what it means
 Several groups of scholars and public-sprted cti- zens have done good work toward the modernzation of Congress But the range of their influence is linn ited In our opinion the La Folette-Monroney report should be brought to the attention of every citizen cannot the committee which has done such fine work in shaping this policy to tell the people about it? If not, then it must be done by private agencies It seems to us however, that Congress should be able to find way of getting out to the people this vital information about itself and it's requirements to become fully efficient legislative body.

The members of the extraordinary session of the Seventeenth Alaska Legislature will have accomplished
 great deal in the short 30 days they have been in session when they quit work tonight in our opinion.
 At this writing the super Liberal veterans bill has not become law but it looks if should sail through on the conference committee report. The bill, when it becomes law will be the most liberal adopted by any State Territory.
 Already approved by the Governor and to become law on July l. is Workmen's Compensation Act far ahead of acts of any other governmental unit under the United States legislation which was not included in the call for the special session. but which the Legislature added.
 Passed through without any opposition was a bill appropriatng quarter of million dollars for the fight against tuberculosis with the adoption of program drawn up by Commissioner of Health Albrecht Dr. Abrecht will have a powerful talking point in soliciting Federal cooperation in the program as a result of this action
 Also not to be forgotten is the passage of bill raising the salaries of Alaska teachers to easily the highest average of any other State or Territory, which should make it possible for Commissioner of Education Ryan to further improve the Territorys excellent education program.

HEART AND HOME
 This is a promising date for housewives and others charged with family responsibilities. Teac l. CTS, statesmen and editors are un- der favorable influences and will find this a propitious date to in augurate projects of public service.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Veterans planning to launch businesses of their own, must be prepared to encounter some re- sistance on the part of those with whom they intend to compete. The mere fact that they are veterans will not assure them an easy road to success.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Brain Trusters" never a compli- mentary term, will be applied to those dealing with difficult econ ..- .c ploolems in the Truman Ad- ministration regardless of their competence or success in their re- spective fields. Alert thinkers will carefully examine attacks on brain trusters" for possible political mo- tives.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Close cooperation between the United States and Britain will con- tinue, but there is nothing in the stars to support the belief of some that they will enter into military alliance.
 Those whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: Several op- portunities to increase their in- comes, one of which they will ac- cept and profit by before the end of the year.

that the rlgn. so intervene by force must be preserved. He said they even promised to speak in favor of the American position, after which he, Hull, would rise and support the Argentine and Chilean Foreign Ministers.
 Other US. delegates could hardly believe their ears. For Latin cham pionships of the right of armed in- tervention meant political suicide. =. They went to the session, however, and listened. The Ar genuine Foreign Minister rose, spoke briefly against intervention. It could not be tolerated, he said Delegates noticed that Cor dell Hull suddenly bent over and began hastily scribbling on a pad of paper Next came the Chil- can Foreign Minister He also said it was time to outlaw the right of any nation to land troops on the soil of another. This was just the opposite of what MT. Hull expected. Finally Hull arose and delivered the new speech he had been scribbling-a speech backing up Argentina Chile, placing the USA on record against armed in- tervention. That was partly how the Good Neighbor policy was born Sumner Welles did the rest.
 New York, 1946-Today, Russia, fuming against the United Nations, is in the same boat as the USA before the Pan-American Union. Instead of Nicaragua, it's Iran :. |. But there is an essential difference !. In 20 years, the LISA moved far ahead in international moral ity-due to the power of public opinion. The American people, it's press and pulpit, were continually pushing their Government. The opposite is true in Russia. The Russian people know little about Iran, little about the UNO confer ence, have to take what their Gov ernment gives them. A Stars and Stripes quiz of Red Army soldiers showed that most of them thought Churchill was an American. We have to make allowances for Russia because in a sense she is a new nation-sensitive and sus- picious. But until the Russian people run their Government, until we penetrate the Soviet iron cur tain and get to know the Russian people, We face the dismal pros- pect of turmoil and misunderstood ing for many years to come.

over organizing loremen last fall, Ickes pulled his trump card. The Government-ow Big Inch and Little Inch pipelines no longer were needed to carry oil to the East Coast; so Ickes threatened to convert them to natural gas.
 Natural gas is the thing which John l.. Lewis dreads most. It makes him see things under the bed Piped up from Texas where much of it goes to waste, gas can be sold in the big Eastern indus trial centers at rate which would put many coal mines out of busi- ness. Furthermore, Texas gas op- orators figure that in five to ten years, atomic energy will jeopardize their investment, and they are anxious to sell their gas now.
 With this trump card, plus the fact that the miners themselves didn't want to strike, Ickes bull dozed Lewis into calling the strike off.
 Today the two government pipe lines are filled with salt water, and MT Ickes, instead of battling with John L. Lewis, is brandishing a pen.

COLUMNIST ICKEs

Probably it was pure accident, but Harold Ickes begins his new career as newspaper columnist on the same day he is needed most in his old job as Coal Administra- tor. And, good columnist that he is bound to be, probably most people would prefer Ickes at the helm in this coal dispute rather than wieloing a pen three times a week.
 As a columnist, Ickes should tell the inside story of how he out smarted John L. Lewis during the last coal strike and made him call it off. However, since he probably won't tell it, this competitor will.

 Biggest test: Whether the USA would consent to arbitrate disputes with its Latin neighbors. Hughes had instructions to duck even this. The State Department didn't even want to discuss the matter. It was a tough fight to bar all debate of arbitration, but Hughes won out even on this.
 Pan-American Arbitration Con- ference, Washington, 1929 - US. public opinion, usually ahead of the Government, by this time had begun to change. There had always been resentment against landing troops in Nicaragua. The PulitZers plus other liberal news papers poured torrent of abuse cn the State Department. Even conservative papers were skeptical Charles Evans Hughes was raked over the coals for opposing even the discussion of arbitration at Havana. Like Russia, we still demanded the veto, but unlike Russia, the American people didn't support their Government. They were way ahead of it.
 Meanwhile two small nations Bolivia and Paraguay-stalt ted to tangle in the Chaca. Since the United States d.d not have to sub- init to arbitration, it was glad to recommend arbitration for others. The Chaco dispute was arbitrated. After that We couldn't very well avoid accepting the principle of arbitration ourselves. Hughes and Kellogg went into reverse, wrote sweeping formula for ar bitrating disputes. However, the question of landing US. troops on our neighbors' soil still remained our prerogative. We still retained the veto And it took years for the Senate to consider the Arbitra- tion Treaty finally signed by Hughes and Kellogg.

LIVESTOCK ON
FEED IN STATE

Cattle feeding operations in
Montana reached a record
high for Jan. 1 this year with
$4,000 head on feed, a nine
per cent increase over last
year, according to figures re-
leased by the Bureau Of Agri-
cultural Economics.
A ten per cent decline was
shown in lambs and old ewes
on feed, with 1885,, 900 head in
the feed lots compared with
428, 10 a year ago.
An inadequate supply o f
feeder lambs and larger guam :
titles of feed accounted for
the shift, it was stated. Had
the demand for lambs been
satisfied, it is probable that a.
bout the same number would
have been fed as last year.
Most of the cattle and sheep
are being fed in the areas Gen.
tered by the Sidney, Billings,
Chinook and Hardin sugar beet
factorys, which supply much
of the feed in the form of su-
gar beet by-products. Cattle
are also being fed in the Mis-
soula sugar factory district and
in the Big Hole area of south
western Montana, the report
said.
