COOP NOTES

Darrell Frank, manager Of the Warehouse re-
ports that the binder Irvine has arr ived
which vas ordered from the West Coast sup
oily houses. However, because tho supply
obta inable from this SO URGE vas in uffi-
CT emit to meet our demands, it vas necess-
airy to order moro tvine from the Middle
Vest. Therefore, part Of our supply Of
tTine viii be coming from Minneapolis and
will naturally be higher b6cau Sc Of the
additional cost in frei ght. The tUine on
hand at the present time is $14. 10 per
bale. Better fill your needs nov at the
lover prices.
The water supply is still not surf ic ient
to carry the load Of incroa sed natter con-
nections during dry periods and gold per-
iods Of the winter months Without
causing water shut-offs. 1t is becoming
more evident all tho line that Palmer
needs Mlnic ipal Utilities organizati ion
to deal With problems OF this nature.
The dry Weather has been very hard on
vegetable produc ers this year. Usually by
this inc we have an abundance of radi shes
onions, and some rhubarb, on the market.
Tt is hoped that the drought is broken
now and the few Light showers of the pa st
week will be followed by heavier rains.
The addition to the Croane ry building is
gcttin an aluminium lining in the Weigh
ing room. This work is being ru shed to
corpl Ell on as fast as possible. Thore is
still 3 good deal Of work to be done in
the installation of pipes, things and
the new Weighing machine lich has been
on hand for some line, but never installed
due to lack Of space.

NEW YORK, April 24-R - A
number of stock market iavorites
continued to edge forward today
although l a d generally
stumbled over exceptionally light
selling after four successive rising
sessions. ~
The price cutting campaign,
combined with widespread wage
hikes, inspired considerable eau
ton among bullish contingents on
the idea that corporate earnings
might suffer in the long run. Skep-
tics also trimmed accounts because
of waning tax relief hopes, a pos
sible fall business recession, doubts
regarding labor legislation and the
cloudy international picture which
was highlighted by the breakup OF
the Moscow conference.

Ships s0fiTOmOrrows
.tOJIT-. M

Working from the data gleaned from the Bikfni bomb tests the navy is beginning to redesign its surface ships. Guns will be aimed from below decks-as larger guns have been for quite some years anyway. Ammunition will be fed up to them automatically. Naviga- ton and the entire handling of io- morrow's man of war will be car ried on from protected spaces.
 All this is to avoid personnel losses from radio-activity in atomic war. It may so change the silhouettes of our conventional ships of war as to give them all the contours of submarines. And that will be deplored by good many traditionaliSts with fond- ness for the characteristic silhou- cites formed by guns and turrets, bridge structure, stacks and other long-eStabliShed topside gear.
 But they should not mourn un- duly. For the change in ships of war from the age of TINT to the age of atom will be very material ly less of a wrench than was the transition from sail to steam. One might go back through the dec ades, and not so very far, to find plenty of old salts who had only a sullen disapproval for the sleek, steel ships of our own time.
 For them, billowing white sails were the only proper silhouette of a fighter ship. And yet sea-going men of these years are equally de- voted to the grim outlines of tur- rets and stacks.

 Attlee made his announcement in moving the second, decisive reading in the House of Commons of the government bill to grant a divided dominion status next month.
 He said that while the formal announcement could not be made until the act was formally passed, the King had intimated he would be prepared to accept the recom- mendations of Jinnah and Lord Mountbatten as governors gener-

Committee Okays Vet Settlement
 Of Alaska

WASHINGTON P)-The House public lands committee approved yesterday legislation authorizing settlement of war veterans on Alaska farming, grazing, timber, fuel and other claims ranging in size from 320 to 1920 acres.
 The secretary of interior would determine the size of the claim but it would have to be large enough to support a family of seven lon an American standard of living"
 The claims could be located in Southeast Alaska, south central Alaska, or in areas within 30 miles of the Alaska and Richardson highways and the Alaska railroad.
 To make final proof of his claim a veteran would have to live on the land for three years but those who served two years during the war or were wounded would be allowed credit for two years in proving his residence require ment.
 The reconstruction finance cor poration could make loans to the veterans and they would be given first priority to surplus govern ment property in Alaska and boats and other equipment surplus in the Seattle, Wash, area.

Paper, Pulp Would
 Bring Population

JUNEAU, (P) - Establishment of an Alaskan pulp paper industry would increase the Territory's population by more than 50 per cent, Territorial Senator Norman R. Walker said yesterday.
 Now touring Southeast Alaska cities to rally support behind pending Congressional legislation to open timber lands to private de- velopment, Walker said the Alaska forests would support six mills. Each, he said, could employ 2,00O workers in its operations.
 Workers and their families, Walker estimated, would total 36,OO0 new residents, as compared with the 10000 persons living in Alaska at the last census.

 "Unjust Increase" In Shipping Rates

Continued From Page One test by Alaska against the pro- posed rates and said the commis- sion denied the Territory a hear ing because of threats by the com panies to refuse the service if the rates were suspended pending a hearing.
 ''Now with the jealous protec- ton of the maritime commission the carriers have one hand in the federal treasury for their capital costs," Bartlett said, "and the other in the pockets of Alaska for $4,OOO,OOO more than they justly deserve"
 Bartlett said that the principal owner of two of the Alaska ship lines is large scale fish canner.
 "He has seen to it that he and his fellow canners will pay only a small part of the increases" Bart lett said. "He does not have to jus tify a rate for canned fish south bound from Kodiak to Seattle that is one-half the rate for dry gro- ceries north-bound to Kodiak" Bartlett asked the House to keep the Alaska situation in mind and said he feared that not much could be done to aid the Territory.

Priest Asks For High School Military Training

WASHINGTON, Compul- sorry military training in high schools was urged at a House armed services committee hearing yesterday by the Rev. Dan A. Lan- ing, Catholic priest of Mission, Tex.
 A buck private in World War I and a chaplain in the last war, Father Laning was one of two witnesses who supported the prin- ciple of universal military train ing advocated by a special Presi- dential commission.
 The other was Blake R. Van Leer, president of Georgia Tech university, Atlanta.
 Opposing the proposal as the committee continued hearings that may run into next year were Ker- init Eby, director of education and research for the CIO, and Rabbi Ahron Opher of New York, repre- senting the Synagogue Council of America.
 "Put military training in all our high schools, colleges and univer- sities,' Father Laning urged the committee. "Why begin at the age of IS? By commencing military training in the high school, the nation would be get ting the benefit of from four to eight years of continuous training as compared to six months or a year as advocated by the Presi- dents commission.
 Rabbi Opher called for a strengthening of the United Ma tions as the most effective way to maintain peace. Universal mili- tary training, he said, runs "coun- ter to the intent and purposes" of the U. N. and should be resorted to only when there is an "immin- ent threat" to national security.
 Van Leer told the committee universal military training twill unquestionably improve the edu- cation and training of our people, and is necessary now.
 Eby claimed the Presidents commission was biased from the very beginning" and said its re- port was virtually call to arms and "an acceptance of war as in- evitable."
