Senator Taft is run ming with all his might. but in a podding sort Of way that is characteristic of him Governor Dewey of New York gives the impression of trying to make doube-quick time without any show of motion in his legs Senator Vandenberg is still on the sidelines and seems to be waiting for someone to push him out into the stream of entries While Governor Warren is out on the track and moving in the direction of the finishing line it distinctly understood that he is not getting up sweat; he is walking rather than a running candidate.
 General Macarthur apparently has no intention of running with the oter candidates. But should not be surprised he takes sort of cosmic leap toward the nomination. In any event, his approach will be ethereal As for Governor Eisenhower he is definitely not running for the nomination, at least not yet But this may be chiefly because of his happy dis covery that by backing away from the nomination he is able to create that seems to draw it ever nearer to his grasp.

World Citizenship" Though the organizers most of them psychatrists anthropologsts sociologists and psychologists, thinking in of world they realize that symbols must not be confused with reality and that before people who differ widely Chinese and Americans, Russians and Englishmen work together in common they must learn how to live together First there must be examination of clashing ideooges, taboos, economic conditions re-
 gous beliefs financial systems and business methods
 staggering task is this Yet thirty-seven countries already agreed to send representatives London
 It is not only the mental health of individual men with which the conference will be concerned but the mental health of whole groups of nations. Mental health in this sense means social health. How this mental and social health is to be achieved the psy- chiatriss and social scientists to attempt tell us and they will tell only after many conferences have been held and after many committees have studied special phases of social behavior
 At most congresses of this nature learned men read papers in which they tell the indifferent multi ude how 1t ought to behave, This time the multitude is to be drawn into the discussion Any group in any country can form a commission of it's own and focus it's attention appropriate detail of it's own choosing What the outcome of the congress will be no one can predict. But it should be evident that if intelligent people are deeply concerned with the prejudces and strfes of their own communities we shall have less scientific preaching from high and practical approaches to the problem of promoting harmonious living It will take immense amount of work to organize congress which will be attended by probably three thousand from all parts of the world but the effort is worth making. The old League of Nations did of it's best work in the field of physical health. Already have World Health Organization that promises to be worthy successor And to have a body which will attempt to aid world in bad mental health to tread the path that leads to international sanity

GOOD WILL TOKEN

It is impossible, too, to describe to you the faces of the people who met the train at the stations along the way and, while this food is only a token and will not last France long, it is a token which has be- hind it the good will of millions who feel very deeply and who want to make their own small contrlbu- ton toward friendship, especially at this season. They feel that Christmas is not just a day on which to exchange gifts between families and neighbors, but be- tween nations and all mankind.
 So in this spirit Of friendship, the American people have collected from their fields this token of food and brought it to your firesides in the hope that it may tide you over until your own fields are again rich and abundant with crops

MINING COURSE
 OPENS HERE NEXT
 MONDAY, 4 WEEKS

Registration for a Mining EXten- sion Course sponsored by the Uni versity of Alaska will start here Monday night at 7:30 at the local high school. Leo H. Saarela, in structor, arrived here this week from Ketchikan where he has been con ducting course for the past month.
 The Juneau classes will be held for four weeks and will cover general geology, ore geology, rock formation and their relation to ore deposits. Special emphasis will be given to the geology of Southeast Alaska. The last week and half will be spent on laboratory work on min erals supplied by the university or by the students themselves.
 Mining in the Territory has pick ed up slightly from the slump of the war, Saarela said. The placer mines of the Interior contributed most of the production of 1947-most lode mines were closed. The outlook is obscure on account of unsettled conditions. With production costs rising steadily because of labor and supply increases, the miner has had to look for improved techniques and mechanization to make porfit as the price of gold is fixed.
 Most base metal prices has risen more than 30 per cent since the war and this rise has offset to some ex- tent the rise in costs. Canada has in the past two months offered a bonus to it's miners of ST per ounce for over average production bringing the price of gold to SAP per ounce and this boost has resulted in con- siderable activity on the Canadian side What this will mean to the Alaskan miner and prospector re- mains to be seen, Saarela said.
 | The Mining Extension Course, which is given by the university by authorization of the Territorial Leg islature, is especially designed to stimulate interest in prospecting as the future of the mining industry lies in the development of new de- posits. The course is open to all without regard to previous training or academic requirements. Anyone wishing to sign up for the course before Monday night can contact the instructor at the Territorial De- partment of Mines office.

A NEW EPOCH?

The radical new Boeing XB-47 multi-jet bomber was flown the other day for the first time in 5l- minute flight from Seattle to an Air Force base in Eastern Washington.
 Said to be capable of speeds in excess of 500 miles per hour the jet-propelled giant of the air may be the forecast of things to come.
 The plane has span of ll6 feet and is l08 feet in length The tail reaches height of 28 feet, the wings are back-swept The huge ship packs the great est concentrated power potential of any airplane in the world developed by six huge "turbojet engines capable of exertng total of 24 900 pounds of thrust plus IS "Aerojet JATO" rocket motors each capable of 900 pounds thrust The rocket motors are mount ed on each side of the ship the tail to provide auxiliary power during takeoffs and in emergencies Four of the turbo- jet engines mounted in pairs, slung under the ships inboard wing, while one addi- tional jet is mounted each wing tip.
 The test pilot, Robert Robbins claims the ship is easy to handle and work to fly
 Because of air friction and resulting heat at ultra high speeds the ship has refrigeration system to maintain comfortable crew compartment tempera- lures.
 Designed to carry more than 10 tons of bombs, the ship is probably the most advanced airplane in the world today. We have come long way since the worlds first -than-air machine made its power flight off the sands of Kitty Hawk A years ago

that President Truman, who was in their city for football game, did not remain the next day to see the Friend Ship, which arrived at Le Havre this week, sail from Philadelphia with it's first cargo of iood However, perhaps this was for the best because this food is by and from the American people. It is from the people of America to their needy friends in Europe.
 It is also important to note that President Truman's home town, Kansas City, did contribute in a big way with fourteen cars of food and one of the first tele- grams I received was from MT. Truman's home county, saying that they refused to be left out. In the end, we had to send a spec ial train through Kansas City where President Truman's neigh hors had especially stamped their bags of flour with this message:
 BLESSINGS OF DEMOCRACY
 Prom Jackson County, Missouri, in the heart of America, this bag of flour comes to you with greet- ings and best wishes, whatever your race or nationality. May this flour be received in the same spirit in which it is sent-The Brother hood of all Mankind AS that great teacher of world brotherhood, Jesus of Nazareth commanded, Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye unto them."
 Jackson County, Missouri, is a typical American county. It is the home of our President Harry s. Truman. There, as in nearly all American counties. are des- cendants ot all races of Europe living together in peace and free dom. This brotherhood is among the blessings of cur democracy. This free-will offering to help re- lieve your need is due to our com parative plenty and our feeling of friendship for you.
 There were, of course, few communities where We encountered opposition but in the end this us- ually helped the Friendship Train. In Grand Rapids, Michigan for instance, when the newspapers crit icized the train, Mayor George Welsh. who had recently been to France, urged his people to con- tribute-with the result that they sent three large boxcars to the train. That was the spirit of American generosity, MT Presi- dent
 Hundreds of towns not on the line of the train telegraphed in, wanting to load up boxcars: Ven tura, Burbank, Long Beach, Cali fornia; Monroe, Michigan; Louis vile and Hazard, Kentucky; At lantic City, New Jersey; Pottsville, Allentown and Bellefonte in Penn sylyania, dozen cities in distant
