 The Veterans Board will be one of the most pow erful in Alaska It's members will be custodians of s3Ooo0o fund to be loaned or paid in bonuses accord ing to the rules they draw up.
 We hope the Board does not follow policy now being expounded by the Governor Because if it does, it will endanger the fund and the continued existence of the fund when the Legislature meets next year.
 The Governor recently declared: Tt is more important for the board to see that every veteran receives the benefits to which he is entitled than to worry about the loans being repaid"
 It would be short life for the fund indeed, if loans made wholesale without any thought of them being repaid The loans should be made only after the board is convinced by the applicant that he has a sound nvestment-and for the veterans own good as we'll the Territorys The board won't have to worry about the loans being repaid-but the veterans will Let's don't try tell the veteran he is getting something for nothing when he applies for loan.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 This is a good day to clear the books of overdue correspondence, so- cial and business; and equally fav- orable for efforts at reconciliation.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Fears Of another war in the near future are unfounded and business adjustments made with a view to adapting to tEe possibility of a fresh outbreak of violence among nations within the next few years is needlessly wasted energy.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Despite the delays in converting and reconverting, American indus try is still leading the world pro- cession and there is no indication that any other nation, Russia in cluded, will approach our produc- tive capacity for many years
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 There need be no uneasiness con- corning the future of the World Bank. AS long as It IS Ddckeu py the United States, it will function and adequately serve the ends for which it is created. In this insti- tuition Russia, which holds that re- ceiving is more blessed than giving, will either share the responsibility or be denied the benefits.
 Persons whose birthdate this is arc promised by the stars. Many happy experiences during the year climaxed by an exceptionally joyful event.
 Children born today will have outstanding talents and should know the full meaning of success before middle life.

 T don't knew any O'Neal,' the photographer replied but you might call someone in MT. Mur phys office"
 Outland didn't know who Mur- phy was-but thought maybe some thing was wrong when he was told Murphy was publicity head for the National Committee.
 Do you mean the Democratic National Committee?' he asked.
 MT. Outland, you wouldn't go to the Democrats for these pie tures," the photographer replied. William Murphy is head of publi city for the Republican National Committee
 well, why should the Republi- cans want so many pictures of me?" Outland asked nonplussed.
 We just got orders to make pie lures of the Republican members of Congress- the photographer re- plied--and hurriedly departed when. Outland explained: But I'm not Republican"

 However, when the bill comes out on the floor of Congress, Sam Rayburn, together with the Dean of Congress, Adolph Sabath of H. linois, and Charles Savage of Washington, plans to stage a real Lattle.
 It will be interesting to see whe- ther Rayburn's Democratic friends vote in public as some of them did in secret.

NO ARMY RACE PREJUDICE

A Negro former master sergeant in the army, Marion F. Green, tes- tified before General Doolittle's caste system" board the other day, that there was little evidence of racial prejudices and discrim- nation in the army. When General Doolittle inquired about this, Ser gean- Green replied.
 "Colored soldiers found some re- sentiment against them when they first joined the army, but this was quickly ironed out after a few months of training. In February, l944, we had some fights and riots while I was stationed at Camp Livingstone, Louisiana. However, by the time we finished training, ev- erybody was getting along fine. I encountered no racial bias what ever overseas"
 The ex-GI also suggested that saluting of officers be optional WiiCIl ClillobtQ iilCli dlE Ol4 ouey and off the post, to which Lieut. Gen Troy Middleton, now an ex- ecutiye of Louisiana State Univer- sity countered Wouldn't optional saluting such as you propose tend to tear down disciplne?"
 Not necessarily, General, replied h i,1fp to merit respect, he will get that respect whether he is civilian or an army offer"
 Many Congressmen will vote against dynamic speaker Sam Ray burn in secret committee session, but don't have the nerve to stand up and oppose him on the floor of the House. Very soon, however, Democrats who have fallen for the begujling promises of the giant power lobby are going to face the latter test.
 Sam Rayburn really has fire in his eye when he talks about the power lobby. And today that lobby ranks with the real estate button holers as one of the most potent on Capitol Hill, has even gone to the extent of dangling nylons before the wives of Congressmen in order to win votes against the govern ment's southwest power authority in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and southern Missouri.
 The question at issue is whether the government can construct its own electric lines to distribute electric power from the Denison Dam on the Texas Oklahoma bor- der and the Norfolk, Ark, Dam Without such power lines. the gov ernment merely generates the pow CT but can't sell it. The power lob by wants to prevent this sale.
 So far, the power lobby's tech nique has been successful with the Appropriations sub-c m m i e, which knifed construction of the

W. J. H. S. Cagers
Defeat Miller's
Greek, Thursday
Miller's Greek Boys Defeated
For First Time This Season;
Large Crowd Present

In two exciting basketball
games on the local hardwood last
Thursday night, the West Jeffer-
son high school cagers copied a
doubleheader from the strong
Miller's Creek cagers from Wilkes
county, the girls winning, 22-15
and the boys eking out a 1922
victory.
The w. j. sextet were really
ION the BALI from the opening
whistle and played their best
game of the season against the
favored visitors. Frances Ann
Todd, Mary Lillian Mcclure and
Ella Marie Osborne teamed to-
gether in the forward positions
and showed uncanny scoring
ability. At the guard posts, Doris
Wayman, Annie Mae Wyatt and
Myrtle Effie Hall played the best
defensive game seen here by the
local lassies this season, holding
down the visitors to eight points
until late in the fourth quarter
when the Miller's Creek forwards
hit the hoop for several field
goals.
The boys of West Jefferson
handed the Nj. c. five their first
defeat of the season in this state,
when they nosed out the lntrud-
ers, 1922 in nip-and-tuck affair.
Hardin and Wyrick started at the
forward posts; Babe" Barr, at
the center slot, and Carlton Mil
Ter and Edwin Houck at the guard
positions. The five starters work.
ed well together and played bril-
liantly. Earl Ross Hare, alter
nate guard, was sent into the
game during the second quarter
and displayed fine floor game.
The large crowd of spectators
all stood during the final few
minutes of the game with each
team exchanging baskets. The
local Quint effectively ''froze''
the ball during the final seconds
after jumping into the lead, 1922.
Following this game, the all
star seXtet from jefferson de-
feated the all-stars of West JEFF
ferson, 26-18, to complete the
nights program.
