The cost of living in Hawaii Is
rather high but if you are fortunate
enough to be able to purchase from
the commissary then your cost OF
living will be lower. One item we
remember quite vividly is fresh
island eggs are $140 a dozen while
storage eggs from the United States
sell for considerably less. Milk Is
sometimes problem as the supply
isn't equal to the demand. In gen.
eral, food and clothing are readily
available in Hawaii but the prices
will be higher than the prices In
this area. We hesitate to offer any
information on baby clothes or boat

USE A SERIES OF CLOWN
THE-DARK DECALS as an idea
for getting your youngsters happily
off to bed. These decals glow the
minute darkness descends upon q
room, giving the child a restful
feeling of security, by dispelling the
fear of darkness at night. Children
should adore these colorful decals,
not only because they glow so pret-
tily, but because the circus animals
are so exciting and gay. The designs
are easy to apply, are washable as
well as luminous. AS the child
grows older or becomes tired Of the
same designs, you can remove them
easily by placing wet pad Of abb
sorbent tissue, secured by Scotch
tap, over the decals for two or three
hours and then scraping them off
with your fingernail or dull knife.
Remember about year or more

EARRINGS STOCKED LOCALLY

the flexible wings could be bent

our local stores is featuring separate
sets so that customers can select

Mrs. v. McA.: Sorry I shocked
your Pennsylvania pride and I did
not say that the Cream Pie recipe
gave was a Pennsylvania Dutch
recipe but the reader who asked for
q good cream pie" recipe that did
not use eggs, milk and corn starch,
said her husband was from Penn

ingredients that made custard like
cream pie but that was not what
her husband wanted. Perhaps you
can send in another good Pennsyl-

not use the ingredients you men
toned, which is made like a GUS

USING SEA SHELLS.

For Mrs. A. P, Washington.
You can make beautiful earrings
with them. Select matching shells,
fill the openings in back with cotton,
cover over with plaster OF Paris
Buy earring back in any ten-cent
store very reasonably. Paste backs
on with glue, also purchased in To-
cent store. You can take 3 or
small ones and paste edges onto
backs like a cluster, also get small
safety pins and put into the backs
with the plaster of Paris to make
pins. I have tried both and the
results are beautiful.

gap instead of narrowing it.
 But our arithmetic lesson is not yet complete. Let's look now at the revenue measures, that were killed and see how much potential rev. enue the Territory was deprived of by this legislature. These are the tax bills that were defeated.
 l. The net income tax bill, which would have produced revenue of approximately S2,3OO,OOO for the biennium;
 2. The general property tax bill which would have produced rev. enue of sl,200,00O for the bienni- um;
 3. The uniform license tax bill which would have produced rev. enue of about S600,000 for the bi- ennium.
 4. This basic tax program would therefore have produced revenue totalling about $4,l00,000, and, at the same time have brought many untaxed categories on 70 the tax rolls. It would have spread the tax burden uniformly and equitably over all categories of business and all individuals whose income is earned in the Territory.
 5. Or, as an alternative to, but not in addition to, the above mea- sure, there was the Engebretn t1x bill that sought to levy a tax of one cent per pound on canned red sal mon, 12 cent on pink canned sal mon, and 12 cent per pound on fresh, mild cure and frozen salmon this tax would have brought In revenue of approximately S3,800,-

HOess, Murderer of Four Million, Must Pay With Life
Friday. April {. lsl7

WARSAW, tPp - Rudolf Hoes5 must pay with his own life for more than 100000 lives snuffed out at Oswiecim (Auschwitz) ex- termination camp in the two and half years he was Nazi comman- dant there
 The 47-year-old ex-colOrel, OF trial for three weeks, was sen fenced to death last night by the nine-judge Polish supreme nation al tribunal. No date was set for the execution.
 The prosecution accused Hoess of supervising the gassing and ere nation of some 3,000,000 Jews and 100000 other men, women and children from a dozen countries including Poland, Russia, Hun gary, France, Belgium, the Neither lands, and CzechoSlavakia-at the camp in southwestern Poland, 32 miles west of Krakow.
 HoeSs, commandant of OsWce- elm from mid-l94l to the end of l943, said he could count only 2,5O0,0O0 victims. He took respon- s;bility for carrying gOut the exter- minations.
 HOess, who has a wife and five children in Germany, told the tri- bunal that he would )have thrown them all into the Oswiecim fur naceS had he been ordered to do so. The British, who questioned Mrs. Hoess at Hamburg in Decem- Der, l945, said they found her

FAIR NOTES

Exciting and interesting times are to be had in little old Nome for the period from April l6 through April 20 at the Ninth An nual Fair! The Eskimo potlatch will be the first event on the eve ming of April l6. The days and evenings of April IT and 18 will be busy ones with reindeer events, varied exhibits displayed, and mis- C-ilaneOuS entertainment every evening.
 If you want to relive the good old days, be on hand for the Gay sos" night on April l9, where the unf0rgettable era of the early gold rush period will be attempted to be revived, featuring gay and humor- OuS entertainment throughout the evening, and dancing to those old favorite dance tunes of yesteryear melodiously played by Fred Hyde and his orchestra. Persons attend ing are urged to get into the spirit of the evening by coming attired in clothes reminiscent of the gold rush period, which can be any thing from pair of jeans and boots to a poke bonnet and jaunty bustlei
 The closing date of the Ninth Fair will be on April 20 with the reindeer events and. dog races to be held on our frozen Bering Sea-
 Let it be remembered that the forthcoming Fair is not Just An other Fair" but Fair of Fairs" and no pun intended

That is a deficit that cannot be plugged by any means, as result of variableS that may occur in any estimate, based on fluctuating economy. People may buy more liquor, the salmon pack may be larger, the number of professional people may increase, the net income tax on mines may produce more than our estimate covers, but, by no possible stretch of the imagination can these amounts vary enough to close the $4,OO0,00O gap between income and out-go. And the fluctuations actually are more likely to occur on the other side of the ledger. Give us a period of depression, or recession for instance, in the next two years, and we shall widen that

poo. 1Hc SVofy Ol "Idt udppeTeQ to this bill is in itself a commen- tary on, and an explanation of what happened to the entire tax program at this session.
 MT. Engebreth's bill got such a complete working over in the Fi- nance Committee, that, when it emerged, it no longer bore MT. En- gebreth's name, or remotely re- sembled his original bill. It had be- come Committee Substitute for Senate Bill Number T, and, in- stead of being tax on the pound age basis, it was case tax. It pro- vided for tax of l2 cents per case on red salmon, cents on pinks. IL worked out entirely the propos- ed tax on fresh, mild cure and frozen fish. In that state, the Fi- nance Committee recommended that it do pass"
 But the end was not ye:. When it came up for discussion in the Senate, Senator Cochran, who was lobbyist before he became Sen ator, and hasn't noticeably caang- ed his thinking since that time. de- cided that the tax should be re- duced still further so he produced an amendment that established the tax on red salmon at 10 cents per case, and 4 cents per case on pink
 And so the bill passed Not, how. ever, until it had been revealed, ir story debate, that w. C. Arnold registered lobbyist of the Came Salmon Industry, had written the | Committee Substitute Bill, him. 1 self, and that all members of the Finance Committee, had pledged { themselves to support it in that form. It was the vote of Senator Joe Green, Chairman of the Fi. nance Committee, for the Cochran amendment which caused Senator John Butrovich, thoroughly in censed because he had been be. trayed by his colleague, to makt this Announcement.
 AS it passed, the Cochran amendment embodied in it, this revenue of about $375, 5,OOO-for the biennium is about one-tenth the amount the original bill would have provided.
 i In the face of these facts, is there anyone who can fail to ans. wer our S64 question for this week?
 Who makes the laws for the Ter. ritory of Alaska?
 This was your legislature. It ha: sold you down the river again; ir the interests of it's absentee land, lords-its high-bracket income in dustrieS and individuals. It has left you a Territorial deficit of al most $4,000,000 with unlimited tax 1 sources available to have closed that gap. Your schools, your desti- ute and unemployable people your crippled and handicapped children, your tuberculosis suffer CTS, your veterans, your Territorial institutions will be among the cas- ualties of it's lack of courage and vision, it's blind and slavish sub- servience to the big lobbies, befor+ the next biennium comes to . close.

HOLLYWOOD.

f1olLI Woob.
There has always been a gentle
mans agreement in Hollywood never
to make a picture with the subject
matter OF "Gentleman's Agreement. "
That particular subject matter is
anti-Semitism-ln other words,
hatred of Jews.
Some of the movie industry's S
biggest operators are Jews. They
have feared that any value movie
dealing with anti-Semitism might
have as a weapon against discrim-
ination would be nullif1ed by a
charge that 1t was only Jewish prop
aganda. These businessmen also
believed that making pictures about
any controversial subject just wasnt t
good business.
Then Laura Hobson wrote book
called "Gentleman's Agreement. .
It wasn't a particularly well written
book. but It's subject matter put 1t
on the best-seller lists. 1t concerned
q magazine writer. assigned to do a
series of articles on anti-Semitism,
who posed as a Jew in order to feel
the full effect of discrimination on
the lives of a family belonging to a
minority group.
Before the book was published

Daryl Zanuck, read the galley
proofs. He liked the idea of making
it into ? ..ovie. When the book

After 10 years in Hollywood,
Henry Fonda becomes the sea-
sons ranking prodigal to date with
the announcement that he'll be
back on Broadway in February In
Mister Roberts," new play by
Thomas Heggen ard Joshua Logan,
based on Heggen's best-selling novel
of the same name. Fonda was
last seen hereabouts in Blow Ye
Winds" and The Farmer Takes a
Wife," the motion picture version
of the latter starting him on the
road to film stardom. His ap-
pearance will mark professional
reunion with Josh Logan, with
whom he began his acting career
with the University Players on Cape
Cod, theatrical organization which
helped launch many such young
theatrical craftsmen on successful
careers.
Logan will direct and Leland Hay
ward produce. The presence
of Hayward as producer and Fonda
as star of Mister Roberts" pre-
sents an interesting commentary
on the amiability of modern man
ners, Fonda being a former hus-
band of Margaret Sullivan and
Hayward being her current marital
partner. The play will start
rehearsals in December, opening on
Broadway during the week of Feb
ruary 18 after tryout dates In Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. 10
Mielziner will design the settings.

Bogart, from the vantage point of
the forties, would seem to be past
the age for making ladies' hearts
go pitty-pat. But look at the
records. Bogey and Baby Bacall
lead as a team for modern, adven-
turous romance. To say there are
Is years separating this pair would
be putting it conservatively. Bogey
began as william and only in his
more recent f1lms-"Casablanca'

Outstanding example OF the old

Clifton Webb, who has just re-
turned to 20th Century Fox to make
his third picture, Sitting Pretty

there are rumors that the one-time
dancing star will be given an op-
portunity to play love-making
lead in his next. Webb is hugging

a get -the-gal hero.
Let's get back to the old-timers
who have been cutting such wide
swath in the great-lover market.
Spencer Tracy spent his youth in
the theater, came to the movies as
a mature product. Nature didn't
set him up for romantic. He
lacks the glowing eyes and profile
of the traditional lover. But not
many months ago he put over a
boudoir scene with Katherine Hep
burn that became the talk of all
the local censor boards. Tracy is 48.

when Mae West tossed him the tall,
