 Deie ate Bartlett has urged re- consideration of this policy in view of the present world food situation which he states is infinitely worse now than during the war In part, his argument stated, If the choice must be made between allowing a couple cf dozen tourists to view the area at the expense of augmenting materially cur food supply and al- lowing the area to be opened to commercial fishing, I think the choice can be easily made. I have no hesiiancy in stating. as l have stated many times before that one of the grea lee1is,ssts C the development of Alaska has been the wholesale withdrawal of huge areas fer various purposes, some sound and some far from it.

PAY BILL
 HAS SphSSED HOUSE

All employees in the classified Civil Service are in line to receive an annual salary increase, effec- tive July l, Of S400, according to advices received from Delegate Bartletts office.
 The bill as reported out of com mittee provided sn overall 18ls per- cent increase in the compensation of Federal employees with no cell ing The flat S400 increase amend ment adopted by the House, pro- posed by Congressman Lyle of Texas, sets ceiling of $10,O00 on Classification Act salaries. The committee version would have all lowed raises above the slo,000 ceil- ing.
 The Hcuse. in voting against the lSia percent increase, also took ac- ton against the proposal of Con- i gressn1an Rees of Kansas to allow an average increase of 1513 percent on a sliding scale formula which would have given employees 45 per- cent on the first $1,200 Of their June 30, l945 salaries, and Is per cent additional on everything be- tween S1,200 and $4,60O
 It is estimated 980,0O0 federal and District of Columbia employees will benefit under this bin with an estimated cost under it's present version of s38a. .OooO0o a year.
 The bill, as it passed the House, is a more liberal version on present basic salaries under $4,300 than the Gill passed in Decembels by the Senate. The Senate measure would give an increase of Il percent, bas- ed on sliding scale, to federal workers. The bill now goes to con- ference between the Senate and House. and it is difficult at this time to predict the final version which will come out of conference

The prospects of Christmas
morning dawning clear and colo
faded a bit yesterday with the re
port from Weatherman Paul Hess
that clouds are expected during
the day, not enough to spoil the day
but enough to prevent perfect
weather nevertheless.
The cold forecast, however, re-
mains much the same, with slight

pected compared with yesterdays
maximum of Sc.
This holds true for most sections
of the state, especially the cloudy
part. Predictions are that the
mercury will not drop quite as
much in the state as a whole as
around Wilmington.
Rain is probably out, say the
forecasters. So for those who In
tend to spend most of the day out
of doors, everything is slated to
turn out quite all right.

This fact was attested to yester-

Wilmington, with each n ex-
pressing satisfaction with the re-

It was their belief that a pent-
UP urge to purchase holiday gifts
of almost every type influenced the
