PANIC STRICKEN NAVY

Funny how little dumirs grow into big things. The War Assets Administration recently handed a large naval airport at Westerly back to the state of Rhode Island, and 1t all came about from a chance remark made to policeman.
 For more than year Rhode IS- land had negotiated with the Navy for the return of the Westerly air port. But red tape was too hard to unravel A couple of weeks ago, however, Governor John Pastore was driving by the airfield and stopped at the main entrance to chat with a state trooper whom he had known for a long time.
 During their conversation the trooper asked the Governor how negotiations for return of the field were going.
 { Its still tied up in red tape, ? the Governor replied then jokingly added. T guess the only thing to do is to send some of you boys down to seize the field and take 1t over for the state
 Pastore drove off and forgot about the incident. But two days later, he got telephone call from Assistant Secretary of the Navy John Sullivan in Washington.
 John, said Sullivan, we've got ! to talk this thing over! What an ungcdly mess it would be if you sent your troopers out to seize that field from the Navy"
 Completely stumped for a mo- ment, Gov Pastore finally re- memhered his conversation with the state trooper. He decided to bluff his way through
 We simply can't wait any long CT, John," he told Sullivan. The state needs that field for overflow air traffic. We've been waiting long enough. In one week, if I don t have action down there, I'm going to send company of state police l to take it overland I don't think the United States Navy wants to go to war with the State of Rhode Island
 Sullivan urged Pastore to hold everything" Before the week was more than half up, representatives of the Navy, the WAA and the Civil Aeronautics Association were in Pastore's office and the State

KANGAROO SHUNS WHITE
 HOUSE

When the crew of the Navy's Truculent Turtle visited the White House the other day, President Truman inquired at some length about Joey" the nine-month-old kangaroo the fliers brought back for the Washington ZOO.
 We thought about bringing Joey over to see you" Flight Comman- der Thomas D. Davies explained. But she's hard to handle. You have to hold her by the tail and she claws like the devil. It's a full time job for one man to carry her around
 However. that isn't the main reason we didn't bring her with us, continued Davies You see, Joey isn't householder yet, and we figured that the White House wasn't good place to bring her under those conditions"
 Truman said he quite understood.
 Admiral Nimitz, who accompan- jed the navy tlierS, then told about a baby kangaroo who kept jump ing put of his mothers pouch. Tir- ing of putting him back in, the papa kangaroo cuffed his ears and told him to stay put
 Don't blame me, papa moaned the little kangaroo. "Mama's got the hiccups'

He has joined with reactionary Senators Taft of Ohio and Wherry of Nebraska in speak ing for Ham Fish's friend, Henry Dworshak, running for the Senate in Idaho, and in urging the defeat of Senator Hugh Mitchell and Re- presentatives Coffee and DeLacy in Washington-thre progressive leaders upon whom Morse always counts for support as Senator.

ment, and even important, by the kind of machinery and the processes of manufacture employed in the job. Productivity is vitaly affected by the availability of materials and supplies and by the overall level of plant operation Worker effort could only be measured if these other factors were the same in the periods under comparison In most industries these other factors have changed materially during the period of conversion to production, and back to peacetime production, that it is almost impossible to draw comparisons which mean anything.
 Here in the Bureau of Labor Statistics officials are optimistic over the outlook for labor productivity
 in the broader sense because of the investments in dustry is now making in new machinery and because of past records on the growth of productivity They point to the steady rise long period of years at an annual rate of 35 per cent and to the striking increases in productivity in some of the munitions
 industries during the They note also that the production industries just beginning to get back to the rate of production at which man-hour productivity can rise While BIS studies showed little gain in productivity during the war these were the peacetime industries which unable to get machinery and materials during the and were forced to the leftovers in the labor market In most of these industries productivity has experienced a sharp rise since the end of the We hope the BIS is right in it's prognoss Not only Sabil ity but the worlds, depends upon it.

THOSE REFERENDUMS

Alaskas vote in favor of the statehood referendum was surprisingly the landslide expected Little opposition was voiced strong statehood organiza- ton had been working in favor of the referendum for months Practically all political candidates spoke in favor of statehood. One wonders what the result would have been had the silent opposition been crgan- ized and active
 We note that the Ketchikan Chronicle, which makes it habit of telling other newspapers how they should be run The Empire of circulating only
 portion of the Sundborg reports statehood, charg ing us with suppressng the report Juneau subscribers know this lie since distributed these reports many weeks ago, along with The Empire, to Juneau subscribers We had extra copies at the office for any who wished them, this fact being stated in the report and in this newspaper.
 The vote in favor of the blanket primary ballot referendum overwhelming and in the face of such
 large demand for this system it is certain that the election laws will be amended at the next session of the Legislature to meet the desire of the voters

TRUMAN LIKES TO BE
 FRIENDLY

One reason the President so of ten finds himself in hot water is that he isn't quite tough enough with his own friends. In the end he can say mo" and say it. with vii gor, but when friend like Henry Wallace tackles him on foreign pol icy, or when Congressman John Mccormack of Massachusetts tack ies him on meat, his first inclina- ton is to go along
 For instance, when House Major ity Leader Mccormack publicly urged the President to remove ceil- ings on meat prices he thought he was doing so with the Presidents okay But after the Mccormack statement, OPA chief Paul Porter called and told the President he had heard that the Mccormack statement was encouraged by the White House.

How Much Is S41,000,000,0 ,000?
(NeW- York Times

During the current fiscal year it is estimated that spending by the Federal Government will exceed S4l 900 900 coo In general the public accepts this fact complacenty.
 How much is 1000 100000? few comparisons will help to give appreciation of what this figure means During the three years of our participation in the First World War total spending aggregated slightly more thah S33,000000. Aggregate Government spending during the whole of the ten years of general prosperity from 1921 to 1880 about the as during the First World War The five years of deficit spending from 1885 to 1889 aggregated about S40000 OO0 The total national income in the depression years and 1883 averaged only slightly in excess Of S4l GOO 100000 In other words the number of dollars being spent by the Federal Government during the single current fiscal year will be about the the entire value of all goods and services produced in this country during those depression years.
 This record volume of peacetime spending re- fleets to major extent the cost of the and it's aftermath. We have reached point at which balanced budget has become national necessity. This objective be attained only by reducing total Gov spending, since taxes already at levels which stifle individual and business initiative. But Government spending will not be cut sharply until there is public realization of how much s4l 00000 900 really is and of the nflationary dangers inherent in continuation of such spending.

T can't have any hope of win ming the fight to keep prices down when we get statements like that from supposed responsible leaders of the administration-and espec- ially when you advise such state ments," Porter said.
 The President replied that he had been in contact with Mccormack, but that Mccormack must have misunderstood him. He had sym pathized with Mccormack but had never meant for Mccormack to is sue such statement. Later in the day he made it very plain in tough language to the nation that he stood four-square behind Porter and the OPA.
