Coed news for Juneau is yesterdays announce nen that the Civil Aeronautlcs Authority has granted Pan American World Airways the authority to use 2ngined planes on the Alaska run, including Juneau airport
 Plans call for replacing the present DC-3s with DC-4s by the end of this month The use of the new planes will reduce travel and give air passengers -eter service in addition to manig seats avail able each day.
 It is another step in providing better air service for the people of Alaska. We doubt if any area in the world. with such small communities receives as much air service the communities in Alaska, and Juneau is particularly fortunate.
 Juneau's air transportation company-Aaska Coastal Arlines-through the use of it's comfortable and speedy Grumman aircraft provides all of the service need daily througnou Southeast Alaska.
 Pacific Northern Airnes, with it's almost new DC-3s provides us service from here to Westward Alaska
 Pan American AIways which has constantly been improving it's service leaping from Electra shuttl> service to DC-4s in only few years, provides nections to Seattle and to Interior and Arctic Alaska

Selfishness and Tariffs
CSt. Louis Star-Ttmes

CSt. Louis Star Times
 The forces organizing the attack on the admins tration's reciprocal tariff-cuttng program make strong appeal the natural self interest of producers who fear competition foreign goods
 They seem obsessed of the notion that this country can retreat behind high tariff walls without leopard2 ing the disposal of domestic surpuses. without ham stringns nations which must sell to us I they are 10 buy from us without undermining our forelgn loans and without driving big portion of the world to barter and friction breeding bilateral trading.
 But with all their devotion to so-calied practical considerations and selfinerest they overiooA the fact that the ultimate penalty Of such seclusion would be shut ourselves off from raw materials that are vital to our economic well being.
 The United States News, drawing on q series ot official reports concludes that this country could not fight another mao without tremendous depend ence on the of less exhausted parts ol the world Of some specific items it says:
 The best-grade ores are gone, or nearly
 gone The high-grade low-cost iron ore of
 the Minnesota range may last less than lf
 years Copper reserves are much nearer
 exhaustion. . . Lead and zinc deposits have
 been skinned of their cream. For years the
 U. S. has had to go to the rest of the world
 for it's needs of chronite, graphite. industrial
 diamonds nickel quartz crystals and tin
 Timber stocks after three centuries of
 abundance, are almost gone in some essential
 categorieS.
 This is only partial list but the implications are clear Can We view such facts and find even a modicum of comfort from the glb words O. those who would fence US of from the of the world? Are we ready to resort to the technques of the late Third Reich? These questions pertinent to the reciprocal trade issues certainly any that are raised And the obvious answer can be based on the same selfish note that pervades the talk of the protectioniSts.

COP LIKES PINK ELEPHANT

Some shoddy things have been done under tfc spells system, which operates on the Jacksonian theory that to the political vic tors telong the patronage spoils. However Capitol Hill spoilsmen re- gently established a new record for cracking down on blind man.
 For more than l3 years, Lieut.. Robert James has been a familiar and popular figure in Congress. Though almost totally blind, he has done an outstanding job of supervising police activity on the z mate side of the Capitol. In fat. tre only black mark against him is that he belongs to the wrong party He is a Democrat.
 Sc. Lieutenant James has been notified he has been fired-to make way for a Republican suc- ceseor Meantin1, COP patronage chiefs are retaining on the pay roll policeman Ellis Duke, who holds down two jobs Tn the day tin9 he works as a Capitol po- liceman.
