Just as the United Nations Commission the Status of Women is starting an oblique attack on polygamy and concubinage throughout the world, an American industrialist Miss Vivien Kellenls has seemingly given this ancient social system verbal shot in the arm Miss Kellems widely known for speaking her mind let the chips fall where they may has proposed that society either give women job equality with legali2e polygamy. Since ther aren't enough husbands to go around she points out, women on their own should have fairer oppor- tunities to their lvngs. If won't grant this she holds then they should marry more women-in droVes if necessary-and support them.
 But before any existing harem heaGs, or other men who secretly aspire to such roles, take too much satisfaction from thS or solemn monogamists become too alarmed, they should be warned of Miss Kellems habitua shock method of statement Alarmed that
 rash Of restrictive laws" might break out against women wage earners in another depression, she is trying to frghten legislators into giving women more legal protection in jobs For she well realizes that these who most loudly maintain when jobs scarce that women-at least those in well paying jobs-shoud be forced back to the home usually the last ones willing to support jobess aunts, neces, cousins and sisters-n-law, let alone additional wives.
 These women seeking action at the next regular session of Congress the equal pay for equal work bill doubt welcoming the discussion and even the shocked outcry that Miss Kelems' proposal has provoked They maintain that the greatest inequality that the Wage-earling woman meets is the general tendency to pay women less than men for compar- chiefly on women being unstable workers, and recently in Engand) the fear that the encourage ment of women in industry will make them forSake the home. But now Miss Kelems warns how really costly to it would be if women, instead of for saking the home went back to work masse.

Cincinnati Enquirer)

If everyone would work for the good, and not for his selfish interest, this nation and any nation-would be a lot better off What inspires this obvious fact is the hudde that our Washington legislators are going into to work out practical plan to solve pressing problem-how to give much needed help to Europe without blowing the top off prices here at home
 This problem and it's solution directly affects everyone of us. for will pay the bill no matter what method is adopted ultimately. The Democrats will have program of their own to meet this double barreled challenge and the Republicans will consider with program of their making. These pro- grams going to conflict many points, naturally, for Democrats are Democrats and Republicans Republicans
 The Democrats, for example certain to pro- pose lot of things such controls that they know the Republicans win not accept And the Republicans will counter with lot of things that they know the the other into such spot that any benefit will Democrats will not accept Each will try to maneuver it's side and any failure will be charged against the other side We had an example of this last year when price controls were fted-with each side blaming the other for what had happened and the public up to it's charges and countercharges wondering who really to blame
 Basically, it's case of tossing a highly troversal issue around in the hope that each side will cash in when the voters go to the polls next November and try to decide for themselves who has done what and how much.
 It reminds us of the dark days of the carly l930s when President Hoover was preparing to surrender his seat to incoming Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt. There were suggestions that he have MT Roosevelt sit in, in those final weeks, discussions about moves to check the depression, so the new President would be familiar with the setup when he took over But MT Roosevelt declined As Will Rogers sagelv commented at the time MT Roosevelt was saying in effect: Its your onion you Ipeel it."

resolution to clear up the question Of Indian aboriginal claims which have stifled Alaskan develop ment has been introduced in the United States Senate by Senators Butler and Watkins The resolution not only would repeal the Wheeler Howard Act under which the Secretary of the Interior has set mp reserves Of 100000 acres but would also wipe out the reserya tions already created under this act
 In connection with this resolution. the Senate Committee on Public Lands which has the reso- uton is studying special report on the whole ques- tion. This report printed by the committee sums up the arguments against the aboriginal rights theory clearly
 Whatever original Indian title the Indians may have had prior to 1867 extngushed in the Treaty of Cession through the payment Of an addi- tiona1 s2OOOOO by the United States.
 Under the act of May IT, 1884, the rights of private individuals, white Indian alike, are pro tected but under no stretch of the imagination can original Indian title be considered the equivalent of private individual property.
 Through proclamation, the President of the United States has established three national forests Alaska acting under by authority of the Congress for the use and benefit of all of the people. It is clear that the United States has assumed sole ownership ooml- nicn and executive jurisdiction over these areas.
 Congress has the exclusive power to extngush the right of Indian occupancy at will, except in the case of private individual property owners
  Department the Interior has only retarded but prevented the development of Alaska. It should be repealed ard We hope this resolution is adopted
 No private interests will risk the financing of any enterprise pulp and paper plant other, long the Alaskan lands remain in their present unsettled condition of turmoil and confusion. Dates for open ing bids pulp timber have had to be advanced twice because of this. Alaska has opportunity to gain another large industry year from now that opportunity may have passed and will have to wait another 20 or 30 years
 Every official private force that Alaska has should be directed toward gaining the passage of SUR l62 Too many of officials have been lax in their duties in this respect This is job which the Alaska Development Board has neglected. It has also been neglected by the Governor of Alaska who might be excused the ground that he, after all, $ an employee of the Department of the Interior and this legislation would strip that department of great deal of power in Alaska

LoRBYING FoR PALESTINE

Only few people knew it, but President Truman cracked down harder on h-s State Department than were before to swing United Nations votes Ter the partition of Palestine
 Truman called Acting Secretary of State Bob Lovett over to the White House twice, warning him he would demand a full eXplana- tion if nations which usually line up with the United States failed to do SC On Palestine. Truman had in mind the fact that such countries as Liberia, wholly de- pendent on the United States, Greece, which would fall overnight without American aid; Haiti, which always follows Washington's lead, and Ethiopia, also indebted tO the United States, were stepping out of line on Palestine Ha1 dozen Latin American countries were do- ing likewise, and Truman had in- side word that the reason was secret sabotage by certain State Department officials.
 Mrs. Roosevelt was among those who urged Truman to ge. busy. She informed the President that she would have to resign from the American delegation if partition oi Palestine failed because of State Department fumbling.
 In the end, a lot of people used their influence to whip voters into lne. Harvey Frestone, who mon Cpolizes the rubber plantations of Liber.a, got busy with the Liber- ian government. Adolph Berle, ad- ciser to the President of Haiti, swung that vote. Freda Kirchwey, editer of The Nation, called For eign Minister Cal Berenson of New Zealand on the trans-Pacitic tele- phone and won New Zealand's vote. China'S Ambassador Wellington Roo warned his government that he would resign if China failed to' take a stand on Palestine. He did not succeed. French Ambassador Bonnet pleaded with his crisis laden government for partition, de- spite Moslem threats in North Af- rica which face harassed France. lie did succeed
 However, the two men who swung the most important influence were Foreign Minister Evatt Of Austral- ia, who was defeated for the Pres idency of the United Nations, and his friend Oswaldo Aranha, who defeated him-both of whom work ed together to put across Palestine partition.
 Note: This is the first major instance since San Francisco in which the U,S.A and the USSR worked together Both countries tcok the same stand on Palestine. lCCPYRIGHT. 1g47. BELL SYNDICATE. INc)
