WHITE HOUSE DINNER

The sumptuous White House din- ner for President Aleman of Mex ico went off smoothly except for one thing.
 Usually Assistant Secretary of State Spruille Braden, ex-Ambas- sador to Argentine, interprets the White House speeches of visiting Latin Americans. This time, how ever, he didn't Instead, Ramon Beteta, Mexico s Minister of Finance, was introduc- ed after President Aleman delivered his speech. Beteta gave an elo- euent speech in English-so elo- quent that White House guests did not realize he was interpreting the President of Mexico. They got no clue until the very end when Be- teta remarked: T have tried to say in English
 exactly what my President told you"
 Then the Finance Minister added with a flourish:
 And now I would like to pro i pose a toast to the President of the United States. 1 Truman, taken by surprise, ral- 1 lied to the occasion and quickly
 proposed a toast in return. 1 (coPYRIGHT, l947, BELL SYNDICATE. INc}

STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA?

The following letter written by Sidney Rood, ap- peared recently in The Anchorage Times In view of the recent hearings statehood in Washington, we believe the thoughts expressed herein worth reprinting:
 Senator Edward D. Coffeys sober warning that Alaskas basic economy is weak, the same printed Tn Mondays Times" reveals insight into the actual condition of this Territory Thousands of Alaskans men and women who know the real struggle to live without dependency upon per annum Federal money baes will applaud the common in MT Coffeys blunt statements
 Gold mining dead throughout the war, had bad season Many operations will not resume for an indefinite period. The rosy minded among us are inspired with such expressions as, the country hasn't been scratched" but the extent of future discoveries is wholly speculative Mining sick that is the fact today
 Kennecott, Latouche and the lfeless Alaska-Ju neau mine are but of the mute reminders of the mining glory that existed If the Bureau of Mines knows where wealth lies in the ground it would have told us.
 As the years pass find bad fishing seasons more frequent Old time fishermen who have observed the trend for years say commercial fish has greatly diminished in quantity. The Territorial government has depended upon the fishing industry for most of it's income, have some 25,ooO people during the season
 Fur and game have decreased to fractions of 
 people who have to depend for meat upon wild species and those who have required income from furs
 Not only the wild species have been decimated The reindeer have been reduced likewise, from about 6ooO0o in 1892 to approximately 5Oooo today Wolves have been having an unmolested carnival among all Alaska grazing species on the mainland An estimated 1500O natives, as well whites along the whole Bering Sea and Arctic coasts, have depended upon reindeer for meat and warm skins.
 Trees north of Prince William Sound are too small for good logs Lumber shipped north from South cast Alaska costs much as fir from the forests Of Washington
 Agriculture is small and feeble. Large scale farm ing with hired help looks doubtful. The other day checked the records Of fiftyfve homestead properties the Anchorage area the taken at random, and found only 27 per cent of has been cultivated Commercial farming is a different problem from housewife raising vegetables in spare time.

about the highest in the world they may soon be ad- vanced up to fifty per As practically everything our people need-except space from the States this will shoot the cost of living higher still.
 High prices, including prices skyrocketed by our essential arpane freight nave consumed the savings of many of our people.
 Alaskans feel sure, are already the highest taxed people under the American flag For paying the full rate of Federal income taxes on apparent wages which have purchasing power far below wages for similar work in the States. For example: the 25 per cent differentia paid Alaska Federal employees is not enough to pay living costs nearly double those in the States
 Continued shortages of materials and high prices discourage building new homes and places of business. Newcomers often have place to live Even our government housing branches are symied.
 Mir. Editor, these are few of the reasons agree with MT Coffey.
 We are not ready for statehood. We ready and anxious politically; but we are not ready eco- nomically We too few and too poor for a Terri tory which is too big tough and isolated for us to develop At least a third of Alaskans natives. To increase taxes to finance the obligations ot statehood would further discourage settlement Alas kans have no difficulty in securing mere land now under the homestead laws. much fish, game, trees and minerals as a State could produce These things know nothing of politics.
 Our people have been bubbnng With optimism during the defense work period Ballyhoo suggestive of the l92Os has been a natural by-product Many wants and optimism, coupled together, tempt us to go hog wild" in spending and in pyramidng new proj ects whereby expenses would increase The state hood project is of these
 I think MT. Coffey has revealed the reason for the recent Legislatures underlying caution in not increasing taxes That caution comforted some. am not prone to join incorporate critics of that body although it made procedural mistake in not boldly blue penciing the estimates of unsuitable bureau chiefs Ultimately, too shall have small Terri torial income tax and think Mir Coffey will approve discriminatory legal one. But the Legislature is right making haste slowly not splurge now and then have destroy when this present Federal boom subsidies.
 Russia is causing great flow of Federal dol lars here the international situation change fast. Congress is getting economy minded. We need to plan and build the foundation of Alaskas basic resources Many of these sick not merely under nourished by lack of attention

Seward Hospital
Fairbanks News Miner

The moans of the Alaska Native Service over it's deal of sympathy the Territory and the coincdent threats to close down schools and hospitals as result of the cut not being taken kindly.
 It has been the considered opinion of many that the ANS budget could well have been reduced before this judging from the frequent and expensive travels of it's officials and the disincnation of it's agents to accept burdens that would normally to fall within their province
 The gravy train" appearance Of ANS conduct makes the threatened school and hospital closures look like an attempt to club public opinion in an effort to get the appropriation restored. Based upon evidence so far garnered it appears that the public in Alaska is refusing to be clubbed.
 One of the clubs" is the Seward Hospital where the Territory and the ANS share the cost of tuber culcsis treatment The ANS says it cannot supply its S2OO000 share if the budget is not renstated If such is the case te blow would fall heavily the Territory fer not only would the native patients have to be re- tuned to their homes but also according to the Terri torial Health Department the Territory would not be able to continue the operation without ANS help.
 The way out of this is simple If the people want the Seward Hospital to remain in operation but don want to have to underwrite other ANS expenses to gain that end is advisable to appeal to Congress for an ear marking of funds for the hospital work It is very doubtful that it the will of Con- gresS to cura the health and educational services of the ANS but rather to limit some other ambitious aims including proposed 50 per cent increase in the number of ANS employees in the Territory in l947.

PENNY-PINCHING TABER

Alter Marshall finished his nam report to Congressional leaders, he invited questions. This brought out the second new disclosure, namely that the Truman speech proposing the Greek Turkish loan profound ly impressed and jolted" the Rus sians.
 This question was asked by Sen ate Foreign Relations Chairman Arthur Vandenherg, who did most of the cross-examining, and whose questions were constructive and in telligent The other chief question CT was Rep. John Taber of New York who knows little about for eign affairs, but who has establish ed the reputation of being the No. ] Congressional pennypincher. Taber, incidentally, was the only man who caused Marshall to get somewhat impatient - when Taber complained about the cost to the American taxpayer of our occupa- tion of the conquered areas and of the possible separations agreements with Russia. President Truman; however, became even more impa- tient.
 As Marshall started to explain, the President interrupted
 That is exactly the thing we're trying to work out" he said Some of our greatest difficulties arise from the fact that we are deter : mined to spare the American tax payer as much of this burden as possible
 Note-One or two Congressman present felt that Truman might have gone even further and point ed out that sometimes the expendi- ture of a lew preventative dollars in peacetime can save billions of wartime dollars later.

things that the Secretary of State did not tell the nation in his radio report later.
 Marshall did impress his listen- CTS with one important thing-his own increased assurance. Before going to Moscow he seemed unsure of himself in his new role ol diplo- mat. But those who listened to him at the White House felt that the Moscow Conference had given the military turned -peacemaker a new self confidence
 One new aspect Marshall gave the solons was that he felt he had been psychologically wise in waiting until nearly the end of the confer ence before seeking an audience with Generalissimo Stalin. Other foreign ministers had asked for an interview early in the conference, but Marshall said he deliberately held back.
 Tt kept the Russians guessing, he explained
 Marshall said he himself had done most of the talking during his Stalin interview He had outlined the American position not to aban- don our interest in Europe and ex- plained that American objectives were "a matter of determined prin- ciple" upon which we are not pre- pared to yield. Russian disregard for earlier commitments. he said was seriously straining relations be- tween the two countries.
 Stalin, Marshall reported, listen- ed quietly and gravely, at no point resentful of the Americans blunt language. Stalin said little, beyond elaborating on the belief that "a possible area of agreement" can be reached after both sides had ex- hausted their arguments.

DYKE RETURNS TO ENGLAND

The Duke told Senators that he was passing up the Kentucky Derby in order to return to England. This brought forth several inquiries as to whether the Duke might be re- ceiving a new post from the Bri- tish Government, whose throne he renounced to marry an American woman.
 NO, I have no special plans along that line" he replied. I'm interested in the general economic picture in Europe and hope to make a first-hand study of it."
 He emphasized his anxiety about British coal production. He said it is imperative that something be done to improve the lot of the British coal miners if England s productive capacity is to remain strong.

FILM SHOULD
 BAR PROVEN COMMUNISTS '
Johnston s Proposal Re- jeeted by Movie Produe-
 CTS as 'Conspirdty"

WASHINGTON, Oct 27--tR- Eric Johnston, head Of the motion picture association, said today that movie producers rejected pro- posal from him that they agree not to employ proven Commun- ists."
 That was one of tine proposals he made when he became head of the industry association several years ago, Johnston told the House Committee on Un-American Actiy- ities.
 Testifying at the committees hearings on Red activities in Hollywood, Johnston said he pro- posed that no proven Commun- ists" be hired in positions where they might influence the screen
 The producers turned down his proposal, he said, because of a legal danger that they might be accused of conspiracy to keep a man out of a job and because there is no definite way to deter mine who or what a Communist Is.
 The associations legal counsel advised against the potential conspiracy that might be involv- ed, he said.
 Al the outset of his testimony Johnston read a statement whicf said the motion picture industry will continue to insist on oul right to decide what will or vii not go in our pictures.
 In a tumultuous forenoon ses- sion, John Howard Lawson, { screen writer, refused to answer a question whether he is or eve, was a Communist and the com mittee voted to cite him for con tempt. Lawson argued the commit tee had no right to question any one as to political beliefs.
 The question of prosecution 0 Lawson on the contempt charg is one which will eventually go t the U. s. District Attorney if tn House officials uphold the citation Conviction carries penalty o $l00 to Sl,000 fine and 30 day to a year in jail Trial would b by jury.
 Added interest to the days hear ing was provided by the presence in the audience of 25 screen stars led by actor Humphrey Bogar' and Lauren Bacall his wife.
