Concession to Colleges
Washington Post

Washington Post
 Seective Service has made an important conces- sion to the shortage of college teachers by ruling that they eligible for draft deferment Previously the draft had threatened to strip higher education nst tutons of many young instructors drastcaly needed to accommodate the huge influx of students resulting from veterans taking advantage of the CT Bill of Rights Now, at the request of Reconversion Director Steeman draft boards have been ordered to give the most serious consideration" to occupatona deermen of college professors when this has been certified imperative by a Federal agency.
 Such recognition for the plight of the Nations colleges is something The Post has repeatedly urged. We are happy that Selective Service has fit to make this exemption at time when it is having a struggle to find enough men to fill calls by the Army. It is important that the Army's needs be and it is to be hoped that extra stress recruit ing will close the gap without further tightening in draft regulations. But the education of America S youth is of equal importance and this to prevent it from being sighted is fully warranted.

the United Nations, or in any way weaken the present Byrnes policy. We would continue to be just as firm as ever if Russia got high handed with another nations ter ritory. But while being firm, we can also be friendly.
 So far we have done a lot of talking, but little acting We have talked about propaganda broadcasts to Russia and various other bidding moves. But at no time have we wrapped up big, appealing pack age and said to the Russians: Here is a sincere, from -the-heart fifty fifty proposition of friendship, guaranteed for at least five years we hope much longer. Take it or leave it."
 Certainly, it's worth the gesture. And if it is turned down, then we know we made the effort, and we will also know exactly where we stand.

 Finding the number and type of housing units required will be a great task especially so, as the housing situation here is already pressing. Plans being considered by the Emergency Housing Com mittee cannot hope to return an answer in time to meet the Wachusetts' need The problem is entirely up the residents of Juneau and all Gastineau Chan nel-individually and collectively.
 To those who say: Homes for veterans come first; this is job behalf of veterans also. large share of the men aboard this and all other active vessels of Navy and Coast Guard were in service during the and fought battles directly against the enemy They no less veterans because they still in service. They less than other veterans, are entitled to normal homee. So, there is not just community interest at stake in digging for an answer to this immediate problem.

A JOB FOR US ALL

Although it has been some years since Coast Guard vessel of the full cutter class has been perma nentlv stationed at Juneau, memories of a large uoportion of Juneauites hold pleasant recolections of the days when the aid TalapooSa or her successor the Haida was a reassurng sight in the harbor

Many fast friendships and genial companonships were formed with mer aboard the ships.
 Now Juneau has a chance once again to have a cutter permanently assigned here.

peoplc are as sick and bored and disgusted with war as any in the world
 This fact, plus the giant army maintained by Russia, plus the frenzied rebuilding of munitions fac- tories throughout the Soviet zone, is the basic reason for Jimmy Byrnes' get-tough policy. It is also why l have reluctantly agreed with him. After exercising considerable patience, Byrnes came to the con- clusion that the only language un- derstood and spoken by the Krem- lin mot necessarily the Russian people, is a show of firmness back ed by force
 However, you cant beat some thing with nothing. You can't cure a dangerous i'll with no heal ing medicine. You can't remain on the edge of the battlefield making faces and waving weapons indefin- itely. Sooner or later someone is going to retreat, advance, or fire a shot. Then the real trouble starts.
 Therefore, without deserting the Byrnes' policy of straight-arming Russia, we have to go further and find a more constructive policy that will occasionally let uS rest our arm.

5-YEAR PLAN

In this connection I propose as my humble contribution to improv- ing the peace of the world, a five year plan for friendship with Rus sia.
 The Russians are strong for five year plans. This is a language they speak and understand. So let's take a page from their book and work out five-year plan for peace and friendship. At the end of five years the plan renews automatically, un- less one side gives notice-and that notice automatically would be a warning of potential war.
 Aim of this five-year plan would be to cement good will between the Russian and American peoples, put them on the same basis as the British and Amercan people, to build up so much good will that no group of men in the Kremlin could hastily or wantonly declare war The American and British people would kick out any President or Prime Minister who proposed war between them, and what the Ameri- can and Russian people need is a fiye-year breathing space to start getting similarly acquainted.
 Here are some of the blanks I would put in the platforms of our five-year plan for peace with Rus sia.

A Chicago concern which in July granted sub stantia wage increases to it's 200 employees on condition that they live up to the no-strike clause of their contract which until October 31 1947, finds itself threatened with strike and has obtained temporary injunction to force the workers from carrying their threat. In refusing to dis solve this injunction, Judge Joseph Graber in the Cook County Supreme Court observed: Tt to me that if union can breach contract because l. thinks it has made bad bargain, then no contract will stand up Are we getting to the place where a group of people do anything they please even ignoring corracts?

WEATHER DELAYS
 FLIGHTS OF pAA

With two planes forced to over night" here after weather eondl- tions had interferred with the scheduled flights to Seattle, Pan American Airways last night found rooms for 25 passengers, who had expected to reach the states late yesterday.
 Passengers were quartered at the Raranof Hotel, the Gastineau, Hotel Juneau, Rev. Willis Booths home, George Smiths home, the Saliva tion Army, and even St. Ann's hos pital.
 One group, leaving Juneau Sat urday for Seattle, had been turned back by a weatherfrt nt at An nette Island. The plane on which they were passengers had reached Juneau past the 7:03 o'clock land ing deadline here and had to go on to Whitehorse where crew and passengers were "overnighted.'
 Last night they were again in Juneau
 Now loaded with 45 passenger res ervations, the airline expects to send at least two planes out this afternoon. To discharge all reser- vationS today would take three plane loads out of Juneau.
 A total of 53 passengers, how ever, did travel by Pan American Airways to and from this city dur ing the weekend.
 They were as follows:
 From Ketchikan: Ernest Lincoln.
 From Fairbanks: William Brun : skill and Roy Peratrovich
 From Nome: George Rogers.
 From Whitehorse: Alphonse Tru- del.
 From Seattle: Rolin Dow, Mike Paskovich, Elmer Price, Mrs. Carl son, Vivian Carlson, Bertha Carl son, Selma Olsen.
 Edward Kelly, Stuart E. Dow, Abelia Columbo, Mrs. Lee Willard, Mrs. Ruth Dow, Dora Tolevay, IT, ma Williams, Ruby Fall, Maude Asp, Niome Emmons.
 To Seattle: Jay Zimmerman, John Frost, Ray Spurgon, Moine Miller, Zelma Miller, Rose Mcleod, Paul Danzig, Leone Danzig, Jerry Dan ! zig.
 George Hill, Edward Salo, Rob- ert Mausolf, Fanny Joyce, Herbert Bernegau.
 To Whitehorse: Ernest Zeron, Marion Schapansky Zeron.

SEND WALLACE TO MOSCOW

6. Exchange 25,000 students be- tween the two countries the first year, 50000 the second, 100000 the third and so on. This would be difficult at first, but in the long run it would build up guarantee of friendship, which no dictator could surmount with war.
 T. Organize US-USSR sports con- tests, with teams visiting back and forth. When I worked in the Bal kans after the last war, we had difficulty keeping the younge gen eration Albanians and Serbs from fighting-as their parents had for hundreds Of years-until we taught them to play football Then they were so absorbed they forgot their other feuds.
 8. Send Henry Wallace as U. S. Ambassador to Moscow. Whether you agree with him or not, he is a sincere, idealistic seeker of peace who might convince the Kremlin that the American people really desire peace. Actually, that is the biggest job of all-selling the So- yiet government on peace.
 These are just few blanks in a five-year plan for peace and friend ship-a plan which could be put across if we are really sincere about avoiding war with Russia.

 5. Establish an American radio station in Moscow and Russian station in New York to broadcast the respective viewpoints of the Russian and American peoples, to- gether with cultural music and drama Each station would be ab- solutely free to say anything il wished for five years. This would be an advantage to the Soviet since there are few receiving sets in Rus sia. However, we should have the right to distribute certain num- Der of sets to Russia.
