group of civilian physicians organized themselves into branch of the Army that has developed through the years into indispensable fesavng organization in war and peace-the Army Medical Department. It was
 in 1775 that handful of patriotic doctors volunteered their services to the embatted Continental Army, of Boston With their crude instruments and quaint methods, the volunteer of mercy treated the wounds of the ragged Continental soldiers and helped to the morale and to strengthen the physical endurance of the forces fighting for American liberty
 It was to such small and informal beginning that the Army Medical Corps looks back today as it celebrates its first peacetime birthday since the summer of 1941 It has a right to be proud of it's record the long span of years since Revolutionary days. Through all the which have brought injury disease and death of American soldiers, the Army doctors and medical corpsmen have labored courage ously and treessy with the troops in combat sharing their dangers salving their wounds and striving to comfort them mentally as well as physically. During World War II they performed vertable miracles with plasma penicn, sulfa drugs and other medicines and techniques miracles implicit in the records which show that 96 out of every 100 wounded admitted to Army hospitals saved. The death rate from battle wounds dropped from 93 per cent World War I to 4.5 per cent in World War IT. and the death rate from disease from 165 cent to only 06 per cent.
 It is peculiarly appropriate that the local observ ance of the anniversary should center around Walter Reed Hospital. which not only represents Army medical service to fighting but through its name is reminder of the contribution made by the department to public health in peacetime. It was Major Walter Reed whose researches virtually elim- mated yellow fever as scourge to mankind. And the Army's battle to reduce suffering in and in peace in widening fields including atomic radiation. The benefits of this crusade are universal as they should be-

are now producing far more than pre-war, and in the case of others we are producing less. Products be- ing produced at high speed are those which do not require the use of scarce materials. Industry is still plagued with shortages created, or intensified, during the widespread labor management dispute S throughout the first half of this year, and these shortages are slow ing down production of many things we need the most.
 For example, there simply isn't enough sheet steel to go around in spite of the fact that steel is now being produced at very high rate. AS a result, considerably fewer automobiles, refrigerators, washing machines, and many other consum- CT items are being produced. Simi- lar shortages of copper and lumber are also slowing up production.
 Rumors crop up every week or so that goods are being withheld from the market. that speculative hoard simply is not true On the whole, overall inventories at every level manufacturer, wholesaler, and re- tailer-are lower today per dollar sale than they were pre-war.
 Every now and then someone starts a rumor that enormous quan- titles of scarce goods are being exported. Again-it simply is not true. All the agencies of govern ment that are concerned are watch ing exports of scarce materials very carefully, and are alert to stop any undue drain that might be harm ful to our economy.
 Retail sales are continuing at rd-breaking high levels. The public is ravenous for the goods it was unable to obtain during the war years. In consequence, retail stores are drained of scarce items as rapidly as they are put on sale.
 Take mems suits, for example. The demand is terrific, yet the facts are that in the first six months of 1946 there were produced about l1,500,000 mems suits, plus 3,500,000 separate coats, and Il 1,000,- 900 separate pants Ia total well above pre-war peak production). The veterans are still having a tough time getting outfitted. The situation would be greatly eased if every man who does not abso- lutely have to have new suit would refrain from buying for the next two or three months and give the veteran chance to get out fitted for college or a job.

of materials. CPA has jurisdiction over only the last of these factors.
 Ever since V.E.-Day, CPA has been using it's powers to increase the supply of building materials. The results are clear. Ever since midsummer of 1945 the production of building material has been in- creasing steadily and substantially If all goes we'll and building mater ial production continues to increase steadily, shortages of building ma- terials will become less and less a retarding factor in home building and other factors will assume in- creasing importance.
 At present and for some time ahead material shortages will plague housing construction. Only those projects that are absolutely essential and non-deferable can be authorized to go ahead. All such projects are reviewed by CPA committee of unpaid outstanding citizens familiar with local neceSsi ties. So that the public is kept in- formed, a newspaperman sits on each such committee.
 Both in this column and else where a lot has been written about the CPA control order. Everyone knows that the veterans need jobs as we'll as homes. Everyone admits that a certain amount of commer- cial industrial and educational construction must go ahead. The S64 question is How much?"
 It would be disastrous if, in our eagernesS to build homes for vet erans, we wrecked their chances to earn a living. CPA's operation of its construction control order will be guided by the belief that vet erans' housing and the minimum essential reconverSion of industry and commerce can and must go forward together.

It's Not Funny
(St. Louis Star-Times)

Interesting but hardly surprising is the news that public opinion samplers have compiled list of about 500 words which they dare not in thir questions simply because many persons do not know their meaning. It's another symptom of the failure of the little red school-house."
 And don't let anybody think that the prescribed words all S2 polysyllables! Terms utterly mis- understood by voting citizens include Federal Govern ment," Supreme Court" and State Department" The latter actually taken to mean agency in charge of State highways
 Time when complained that schools had made the nation literate without giving it taste for literature but that indictment has become too mold In democracy whose government must be guided by informed public opinion all too many persons cannot understand the most simple language in which political ideas be passed to them. Here is something for school boards and teachers to worry about-and worry and worry and worry.

PROsPECToRs- MINERS RETURN

William Fleek and Dale Fleek, father and son, returned this week by foot, over the mountains, from their mining claim at the head waters of Chesa China They have been gone since early summer working their claim and prospect ing new areas.
 William Fleek was owner-opera- tor of the Fleek Transfer Company in Douglas for many years, having sold out to his son Irwin Fleek this year in order to participate in mining ventures, which has been his principle interest during his lifetime.

ANSWERS CRITICS

Upon occasions, we have been criticized for not stopping construc- tion which was underway prior to the issuance of our order. In my opinion, for the government to step in and stop construction al ready legally under way would not be fair or equitable. Many veterans with whom I have discussed this matter agree with CPA's position.
 So long as building materials are scarce every citizen who wants to help veterans housing can do it by deferring all the construction, re- pair, or maintenance that he pos sibly can. In the aggregate the de- ferring of small jobs that require scarce materials would greatly ease the situation.
 During the war industrial Amer ica had it's problems-plenty of them-but they were solved. People were reasonable and tolerant and reconciled their differences. As result. production scared to amaz- ing heights.
 Today industrial America has diff ferent, and in many ways more diff ficult problems. Yet the need for production. for steady sustained, all-out production; for a flood of good at competitive prices, is great CT now than ever before Give us that flood of goods for the next five or six months, and we will have licked imitation and be on the

ANOTHER SHIPPING STRIKE

In view of the shipping situation, it looks as if Alaskans are in for hard fall and perhaps winter. We who must ship in from the States practically everything eat wear, build with and use in every other way will again have supply cut off completely with serious complications if the AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific ties up Alaska shipping for any length of time.
 This following the heels of series of local Alaskan dock strikes, continues to make Alaska chances for getting ahead in the postwar stage very slim.
 In the States the common man will feel the effects of the shipping strike, but nowhere near much the common man in Alaska will feel it. The people of Alaska have taken quite kicking around result of the befuddled shipping situation the past year, and they face it again.
 Because the situation. as it applies to Alaska will be so severe that it is to the Federal government to that the people of Alaska are supplied with food and clothing regardless of strikes by manning VISA boats with military naval crews if necessary
