RICHARD BYRkES AND
 FAMILY RETURN NORTH

One year away from Alaska was enough for MT and Mrs. Richard Byrnes and their son, Richard, Jr., who returned to Alaska, and are now making their home in Fair- banks, where he is assistant pro- lessor of English at the Univer- sity of Alaska.
 The Byrnes made the trip over the Alcan Highway in an S85 Ford, which they outfitted with four new tires for the trip. Robert San ford. who visited with the Brynes family when hc was in Fairbanks recently, reports that they had a wonderful trip with no mishaps over the Highway and have pur- chased a house in Fairbanks.
 Byrnes was on the faculty of the Juneau High School for four years and left last year to accept a teaching position at the North ern Idaho College of Education at Lewiston. Idaho. While in Ju- neau. he also held the position of manager of the Evergreen Bowl playground during the summer.

Russians Never Leave
(NeW York Times

It is certainly not surprising that Russian Ameri- can discussions of Korea have reached a dead lock One deadlock has followed another, in that unhappy little country since the expulsion of the Japanese Here as elsewhere, in all where the fundamental question is the withdrawal of occupation troops deadlock suits the Russian purpose admirably The Russians never leave at least not until they are assured that the puppet regimes which they leave be- hind them, as in Bulgaria and Rumania, have the situation well in hand They content to wait whether it is in Austria or Korea, until the taxpayers of the other occupying countries lose patience and interest in the problem and pull out in sheer disgust Meanwhile the successive deadlocks relied upon to accelerate this hoped-for purpose
 In the present case the is fulfment of the Moscow Declaration of December l945. which promised, that small naton is concerned the setting up of democratic government and the re-estabishment of the now divided country as unified independent state But what constitutes "a democratic govern ment"? On that point Russian and American spokes- men have disagreed for eighteen months. On the authority of the chief of the United States delegation the spot the latest Russian proposal in the matter would have excluded the representatives of groups with declared membership in excess of l5,5ooOO0- out of total population in Korea of 230O0O00. This would be thoroughly consistent with the Russian idea of democracy. It is not consistent with our own.
 In an effort to break the deadlock our Govern ment has offered various alternatives to the present bootless procedure. We have proposed for example, that the Russians agree to nation wide election III Korea. with a secret ballot. This idea shocked the Russians. We have proposed again, that the existing deadlock be referred to ournaton conference which would include the Chinese and British Pacific Powers in addition to the Russians and ourselves. The Russians would have of this either
 Deadlock suits their present book. They are con- fident that they tire out in this Korean enterprise We shall be false to promises to the Korean people and blind to our own interests if we let them dc so

Grave-Tending Racket
Cincinnati Enauirer


 "A ghouish racket" is the term applied by the St Louis Star-Times to the apparently increasing practice of CT grave "adoptons" abroad The phrase is certainly very fitting
 When American fighting fell on foreign soil there undoubtedly many instances where the resdesnts of liberated lands did tend their graves as a mark of appreciation The grave adoption idea therefore, no doubt. had innocent enough beginning And in many it may still be innocent enough.
 But there is at least room for skeptlcism when the family of soldier buried abroad receives letter from someone in France Belgium or the Netherlands, saying that he she has adopted" the soldiers grave and is carrying for it tendery. The informa- ton usually is passed along according to the letter to make the soldiers family feel better about their loss And more than incidentally, of course, the expectation is that the family will forward money or gifts a way of expressing appreciation Ana why not?-it is perfectly human reaction Admitting that there may be actual cases ot legitimate nature. the fact remains that the U. S- Graves Registration Command does an expert and complete job of gravetending. No known grave oi an American soldier sailor is neglected or must rely upon the individual kindness of a foreign family for its care.

For Juneauites who may believe that food prices arc high only ill Alaska their own community a recent study made by the Bureau of Laoo' o1aVis1' is revealing Taking the period from January l5 ls4l to June l5 l947 the Bureau reports that Tn 36 mao cities in the continental United States food prices have increased all the way from low of 848 per cent to high of TIT per cent There are many over the 100 per cent mark
 The study does not show that certain prices nave been pushed out of line While retail prices on all foods showed increase of o48 per cent dur ing the same period dairy products went up 632 per cent and dried fruits vegetables to 637 per cent
