friend in Texas. One day he ac- companied the ranch foreman to watch a nearby cattle auction.
 The prices the steers were bring ing were so high that Porter knew the meat never could be sold at ceiling prices without terrific loss. Dressed in ranch clothes and unknown to the crowd, he asked a nearby rancher how any profit could be made on this beef if it were to be sold at ceiling prices.
 What do you mean, ceiling prices, stranger?" the rancher asked.
 Why the OPA maximum prices, ' Porter replied.
 "Oh, the OPA," chuckled the rancher. Well, you see, we nev- CT put the OPA in force down nere.'

The new pest office order which goes into effect ,odav limiting the size of packages accepted for parcel pest to five pounds is bad news for AlaSkahS'
 The order said be necessary because of the coal strike is being investigated by the Chamber of Com merce transportation committee which may be able to secure an exemption for Alaska, however.
 Although the only steamship service Alaska now has is furnished by the CPR for Southeast Alaska, only. many merchants have been receiving goods via parcel post and this has helped great deal How ever, if packages are limited to five pounds tms channel will also be blocked.

 Repeatedly since the end of the war this column has pointed to the fact that cheap natural gas brought to the East in the now idle pipelines is one important an- swer to tlte annual danger of hay ing John L. Lewis shut the coal industry down on a shivering na- tion
 However. more than a year dragged by with nothing happen ing but today, the pipelines are converted to natural gas in the present emergency and gas, through one of the private pipelines IS supplying a large area.
 This quick emergency hook-up will supply only 5o,O0O0o0 cubic feet of gas daily, but had the Tru- mar Administration looked ahead and exercised a little statesman ship. q permanent hook-up for gas could he in operation and would pump 30O,00O,0o0 cubic feet daily into the industrial areas of the East

SHALL WE FEED GERMANY?

The National Advisory Commit tee. which develops U. s. econom- ic foreign policy, had a surprise guest speaker the other day-Un- dersecretary of Agriculture N. E. Dodd. Federal Reserve Chairman Mariner Eccles had invited him 10 describe the European agri- cultural situation and Dodd began by telling how shocked he was at the possibility Germany would go hungry this winter.
 Things are terrible in Ger many" Dodd said, and then went on to state that Germany is the only country in Europe which will be hungry.
 His remarks were surprise to Undersecretary of State Will Clay ton, who pointed out that this did not correspond with the facts re- ceived by the State Department which indicated that starvation in Greece, Italy and Czechosloyakia this winter will be as great, if not greater, than last year.
 T am sorry" Clayton added there just isn't enough food in the world to go around"
 There's more food than W, thought" Dodd replied. At this point. Dodds sponsor a the meeting, Federal Reserve Boar, Chairman Eccles, interrupted
 If We don't feed the Germans, he said, then the Russians will Besides we ought to stop sending lCod to countries in the Sovie zone" :"
 The debate continued, but n decisiCn was taken on stepping u food shipments to Germany.
 Note-For five years, while tn rest of the Continent starved, tn Germans ate off the fat of tn land. As a result of malnutritiol in nonGerman areas, Hitler won a least one aspect of the war, fo he wrecked Europe's health.

PICKETING T. l.. LEWIS?

Here IS a letter from an organ izer Of the United Mine Workers regarding the poor wage scale paid by John L. Lewis to his own union workers. For obvious reasons, the writer of the letter, who works for Lewiss District 50. must remain anonymous He writes
 Tt is of great interest to see John L. Lewis again make wage demands of the operators, when the irony is that he does not be- lieve in handing out increases to his own employees. The organizers of District 50 have not received an increase, in most cases since l942.
 They have received $208 per month and $5 a day for expenses. In fact, they have been cut. They used to get parking and tolls, but now that has been removed from them. Yet without flinching his eyebrows, Lewis asks for wage in- creases from employers, forgetting that he, himself, is an employer
 There is absolutely no seniority in District 50 The organization certainly needs union more than the workers in plants to protect them from John L. Lewis If any thing goes wrong or a mistake is made. you get bawled cut or firec without any recourse whatsoever.

 We believe it is reasonable to expect, when the situation explained to postal authorities that the limitation on the size of parcel post packages will exclude Alaska, since the parcels moved to Alaska via the Canadian boat will have little effect on the demand for coal and because of the acute need for such shipments to Alaska during the present maritime strike.

BILBO'S LITTLE GAME

This column has already exposed part of Senator Bilbos little game of securing contributions and-or gifts" from Mississippi war con- tractors However, there is more to come Here is another chapter.
 Previously it was revealed that Senator Bilbo received a present of an 8-acre lake. an island on the lake, a dream house built on the island, furniture to put in the house and a Sl,9l2 Cadillac-all from two war contractors who got Army jobs through the help of the Mississippi Senator. It was also revealed that two contractors gave Bilbo S25,000 which he later claim cd was a contribution to the Sena- torial campaign Of Wan Doxey- though the latter said he never spent anywhere near that much.
 However, on top Of all this, B. L. Knost ol the Morrissy- -Knost Con- struction Company, gave Bilbo $5,- 900 on June l2, l941. Later, on
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-10-29

Sept. T, l942, Knost gave Bilbo's secretary, Edward F. Terry, S3,750.
 Morrissy and Knost had not only helped construct Keesler Field at Biloxi, and Key Field at Meridian in 1941, but had received S3527 ,268.- 39 in war contracts in 1943.
 The two presents" they gave Bilbo were charged on the com pany's books in equal amounts to the personal accounts of the two partners. When questioned about them by Government inspectors, Morrissy refused to comment. Knost stated that they were for the Wall Doxey Senatorial campaign.
 However, Senator Doxey and his campaign associates all said that no such money had been spent by them.
 Richard c. Wooton, attorney and certified public actpuntant who prepared Bilbos income-tax return said that the s8,756 was spent in the Doxey campaign, but the Sen ator had no records to substantiate this statement. Nor did he have any substantiation of his state ment that the previously noted , $25, ,000 was spent in the Doxey ! campaign
 Nice pickings, Senator, if you i can get away with it
