FIRST ROUND

In the battle of the Territory of Alaska versus the Maritime Commission-War Shipping Administration regarding the hearing of evidence pro and for ship ping rate increases, the Territory has the first round.
 The commission wanted to get the rates increased and hold hearings the matter later, that the Territory would be paying nearly $2,OOO OOO.OO n creased tariffs during the first six months of 1946 This saving has been brought about through the veto of the commissions request for permission to increase the rates temporary basis If the increase had been al lowed, the people of Alaska would lose the fight in the past for example, the rates upped in 1887, temporarily while hearings in progress When the along the matter was dropped up in the air. the rates still high Then the surcharges, etc., to increase the costs even more.
 As Abraham Lincoln would say: -Four score and nine years ago fathers brought forth this continent territory conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men have right to decent living We engaged in great rate war, testing whether any territory conceived, can long endure such high and eXOrbitant rates 1t IS for us in Alaska to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who have gone before have nobly advanced That Alaska under God shall have birth of freedom and that its people shall not perish from the earth"

Church School Goes To Movies

HOLLYWOOD - Producer-Di- rector Leo McCarey, having de- picted priests lives in Going My Way" takes us inside a Catholic school for a closeup of the lives of nuns in "The Bells of St. Mary's" starring Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman.
 The story, as McCarey consid- cred it, went through several changes. At one stage it was to be that of a young opera singer de- sirous of being a nun but per Suaded by the sisters that she could be more valuable to the church in the outside world.
 Subsequently, he conside d showing the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, working among juve- nile delinquents. Finally McCarey returned to the original suggestion of William Mooring, motion pic ture editor of the Tidings, weekly newspaper of the local archido- cese, that it pictured life in Catholic school.
 Mooring and the Rev. Thomas J. Mccarthy, Tiding's editor, sat in on numerous story conferences.
 Miss Bergman, herself a Luth- eran, spent several days at St. Ag- nes High School Convent, meeting the sisters, seeing how they lived and attending prayers and classes.
 In the picture we see her, in the garb of nun, taking an eXperi- mental stance with a baseball bat in a sporting goods store Tipping a ball into the air with a tricky snap of the wrist teaching timid lad how to fight the play ground bully,
 Perhaps the choicest sequence in the picture was done by actors who aren't even listed in the cast of characters. A group of youngs- ters was told the story of the na- tivity and instructed to enact it in their own way.
 McCarey barred visitors and all but esential production workers from the set. Equipment and crew were concealed behind curtains.

Professor Schlchters plea to break down our system of tariff protection.
 Opening up market" he says, is the only way in which to labor and capital out of industries in which relative superiority is small in which have no superior efficiency.
 The ShalloWnesS of this sort of thinking is made ap- parent by Professor Schichter himself.
 He gives his away by his estimate of American industrial efficiency developed under the protective tariff system.
 Few Americans reaze,' he comments, ''how great is the managerial and engineering superiority of Ameri can industry
 Before the war; the annual product of the world roughly 2SO billion dollars.
 Of this amount the United States, with six per cent of the population and using less than six per of the man-hours, produced over One-fourth.
 SOon the United States will be producing about third of the worlds goods.
 Obviously the United States will not obtain maxi production if the federal government continues it's policy of delivering the home market to cheap foreign competition.
 prevent the future development of enterprises and the growth of 'big" companies out of small ones.
 Almost every "big business in America began as small" business
 We would have none of these large concerns today and surely would not have attained the productive eff cency that Professor Schcher notes if his tariff theo rieS and the murderouS methods of the OPA had pre- vailed in the past.
 Under those same policies, any number of new indus tries that coming into existence will be stran ged like babies in their cradles

F. Whitney, president of the Bro

tonight he had employed an inves-

"Pendergast politics" in Missouri for
ammunition to use against President

White House and his contention that
the trainmen and the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers were in
duced to postpone the strike for five
days on the promise that an agree

railroad arrangements.

CongressLooksAheat
To Longest Recess
Since Prewar Times
OPA, British Loon
And Draft Measures
Remain on Calendar
ByJ. A. O'LeoV

The outlook was bright on
Capitol Hill yesterday for Con-
gress to go home by mid-July for
what probably will be the longest
recess since before the war.
House and Senate conferees will
try to iron out their differences this
week on extension of selective serv-
ice and the OPA-two of the most
important issues remaining to be
disposed of.
The House is expected to act be-
fore the end of this month on the
$3.50, 100000 British loan, which al
ready has passed the Senate. ,
Meanwhile, both branches will de-
vote most of their time during the
next two weeks to pushing ahead on
IL annual appropriation bills, which
are at various stages of enactment,
and which should go to the President
by July l, the first day of the new
fiscal year.
President Humans request for
emergency strike control legislation
has passed both houses, in widely
different forms, but the final fate of
the bill is unsettled, as it rests on the
table in the House, awaiting action
on Senate changes.
Action on War Powers Soon.
The Senate probably will act soon
on the House-approved extension
of the Second War Powers Act,
which carries the authority for pri-
GRITTY orders and rationing.
The House has on it's waiting list
the Senate-passed plan for control
of atomic energy domestically.
AS the time for adjournment
draws nearer, individual members
undoubtedly will press for action
on a variety of less urgent meas
ures, but if these major issues are
out OF the way, it is not likely Con-
gress will stay here beyond the
middle of July, with holly contest
ed congressional elections In the
offing.

through, however, both Houses face

agreement early this week, possibly
