ALASKA SAYS THANKS FOR
 RIDDLE GIFTS

SEATTLE, Dec. 28 - A thank you" to Seattle for opening its heart to Alaska kiddies isolated from Santa by the Maritime tie-up has been received from Mayor A. H. Nordale Of Fairbanks.
 In thanking Seattle Civic organ izstions for the four tons of candy, fruit and toys flown to the child ren of Alaska's main strike isolated towns, Mayor Nordale wired: Tt was particularly considerate of the Shrine and other Civic organiza-
 iCns of Seattle, and of Pan Ameri- can World Airways, to have coop erated in making this Christmas really come true for so many Alas kan boys and girls.
 Four plane loads of toys were flown North the wire continued. The shipping situation has been such that otherwise many Alaskan children would have been disap- pointed. In Fairbanks, we witnessed a scene which truly brought home to us the Christmas spirit. Hun dreds of Fairbanks children were given toys and candy. Other ship ments from Seattle went to the other Alaskan communities. Again to our friends in the Pacific North west, We of Alaska say thanks

WALLACE REBELS

Henry Wallace got a significant secret phone call from Democratic Chairman Bob Hannegan while on his Western campaign tour.
 "The boss heard Pearson predict that you were planning to attack Senator Vandenberg in your Min neapolIs speech" Hannegan said. He doesn't want you to blast him. He thinks it's mistake"
 But, Bob" Wallace said, T quit the Cabinet in order to be able to say what I wanted. Besides, I firmly believe that Vandenberg has been needing Byrnes into lot of our difficulties with the Russians" :"
 T know replied Hannegan, but the President asked me to tell you he thinks your attack will hurt the party.
 Which party" Wallace asked, the Republicans or the Demo- crats?"
 The Democrats" Hannegan re- piled. He thinks it's an error to attack Vandenberg."
 I'm sorry, Bob" said Wallace, but I don't work for him any more"
 Note-Later at Detroit. Wallace bowed to the viii Of Michigan

 It is a little hard for most of us to keep up With the batter of communist theology. It must be little tough on the Comrades themselves. Just about the time neophvite thinks he has it all down pat, he is almost certain to discover that yesterdays dictionary is as useless the Greek digamma. Happily for him. however he has way of his difficulty If he can think of new, roundabout and polysylabc way of saving something that in itself is relatively simple he may be sure that robe ring and fatted calf will await him at the aricestral mansion.
 For example we have the statement in which the National Board of the Communist Party explains why Earl Browder got tossed out upon his ear why the writers, Ruth Kennedy, Bruce Minton and Vern Smith are gnashing their teeth in darkness Its circumlocutions seem to indicate that Browder was infected with disease which inspires in it's victims deluson that perhaps capitalism cansbe reformed All adherents of the Faith know, of that capitalism can be reformed All adherents of the True Faith know, of course that capitalism must be exterminated The authors are set down at leftlSt semi -TrotSkyist adventuler who have advanced petty bourgeois anarchstic slogan of freedom of crtisr propagate views hostile to correct doctrine
 The report goes to perform few verbal con tortions the general theme of criticism It holds that although it the duty of member of the party to advance healthy constructive discussion and crlt csm this criticism must be in accordance with the dogma of democratic centraliSm. fAnd what honey that one is! It's inventor certainly deserves red star something, right out of the kremllnD It unfor- tunately happears however that criticism expressed by the literary dissidentS very radical that their left wing sectariansm" would result in "isola ing the party the working class and the working class from all it's allies" Maybe so! Maybe so! But all this surely must leave the working class a bit groggy Unless of course, eXicons have replaced ham sandwiches in workers dinner pails

sury. This proposal would give both parties a chance to serve in a more statesmanlike fashion, per init them to ignore special priyi- lege groups and give Congress greater control of corrupt election practices.
 Killions plan also would have the effect of preventing moneyed interests from purchasing elections whether Labor or big business. Under his plan, bipartisan commit tees of the House and Senate would handle election funds, would dole them out on the basis of popula- tion to the candidates ol both parties. Much stricter control could then be exercised on the use of the funds.
 Killion knows that he probably won't get the plan through at once. Numerous objections are certain to be advanced For ex- ample, the plan makes no pro- vision for the establishment of new parties, would probably be rejected on that one count alone How ever, a constructive discussion of the proposal may lead Congress eventually to aGopt it.

QUARTERS WANTED

Unless the people of Juneau get busy, and soon and help Mayor Waino Hendrickson round up living quarters for l3 families the merchants and towns people are going lose good-sized amount of income to some other Alaskan town
 Officers and men of the Coast Guard cutter Wachusett need Is housing units if they are to be allowed to base in Juneau, Three units have been found but not so with the other l3. One two and three-bedroom units needed by the end of this month If quarters be found to house the families until next spring when several apartments and other houses will be completed the problem will be solved If you are contemplating a trip Outside for few months get in touch with Mayor Hendrlckson and lease your home or apartment for that period.
 The payroll of the Wachusett with its l02 officers and men amounts to $12OOoo year which would be spent locally In addition to this would be about s6oooO year for food and other supplies for the ship
 We suggest that the housing facilities can be found and that the merchants, who have a direct interest in keeping this business in Juneau get busy on it. Several other communities have put out the welcome mat for the Coast Guardsmen and guaranteed housing Let's don't miss the ball on this one.

during the past year? In the first place it must be remembered that real earnings refer to the quantity fo goods and services that be bought with designated amount of money wages If these earnings are not fully available for spending goods are not available be purchased the statistical ab straction called wages is not very meaningful. This was the case during the Thus average weekly earnings in manufacturing industries and tax deductions for family of four changed follows during the past year
 July, 1945 July, 1946 Weekly earnings ..-..-...-......-..-.~ S4545 S43OI Tax deductions 187 49 Net spendabe income 1858 4258
 After allowance is made for the decline in taxes it is found that spendable income declined $1 rather than $2 38 But this tells only part of the story In July 1945 current incomes could not be fully spent because of the shortage of goods. Many workers ln response to pleas set aside 10 per cent of their wages bond purchases These funds could not be spent currently and hence the actual level of Vng of the recipients lower than suggested by their unadjusted weekly earnings. Actual spendable funds after allowance for deductions less than $40 rather than $4545 shown by the unadjusted weekly earnings On this basis it would appear that there was little difference between levels Of effective pur- chasing power a year ago and now instead of the decline of almost 10 per cent suggested by the un adjusted data.
 However, because of these abnornalities in the data more accurate picture of the wartime changes in real earnings is obtained present conditions are compared with these in August 1889, January, 1941 On the first basis increase of 279 per cent has taken place while since January 194l the increase has IT per cent Workers have not retained the full increase they had paper at the wartime peak but they are substantially ahead of their pre- war position.
