SHOULD TURKEY HELP US?

The same is true of Turkey, where great strides are being made toward the American concept of Democracy, according to Acheson's black book. Statistics in the hook state that Turkey is much better off financially than Greece, and that, contrary to most small na- ticns, living costs there are going down instead of up
 In fact, the statistics regarding Turkey appeared so optimistic that the State Department may have hurt it's case. After reading the little black book. some members of the House Foreign Affairs Commit tee felt that we should confine our aid to Greece, giving none to Turkey.
 Remarked COP Rep. Bartel Jonk- man of Michigan If what the State Department says is true, then maybe the United States ought to apply for a loan from Turkey, in- stead of our helping her"

George-whom they voted into of flee as the lesser of two evils.
 The book states that 84 percent of the Greek voters voted for the King in last years election and adds that the American Commis- sion which observed the election was unanimous in the view that the balloting was conducted hon estly and fairly
 The State Department report frankly admitted, however, that many who voted for the King did so because he "symbolizes opposi- tion to the Communist aggressor." "
 The secret notebook paid high compliment to the present Greek government as a whole, claiming that Parliament is made up large ly of middle f-the-road Conserva- tives, who favor the American type of Democracy and can be depended upon to do a good governing job, , once we get the Greek nation back on its feet financially.

ever We do not think that is the in Juneau.
 It is interesting to note that the record for the last year shows decided trend away from the muni- cipal operation of such utilities fortyfive known cases put to vote during the past year throughout the United States forty of the proposals decided in favor of the private companies.
 A recent Gallup Poll, published in the latter part of January also reveals a strong sentiment against the socialization of electric power companies These figures substituting municipal political opera ton in place of private business management of investor-owned electric light and power companies are 64 per against 29 per cent in favor and 21 per cent undecided
 There are many factors contributing to such an attitude the part of the public The public is pro- tected from exorbitant under private ownership because the City Council has the power to demand and force reasonable rates Such hearing recently resulted in lower rates for Juneau under private operation It is occasion when private electric company able to increase in rates However. under municipal ownership it seems to be easier. Another factor be considered is the fact that municipal political operation of a utility efficient operation under private management The municipal operation often thwared by political by-play political maneuvers for juicy jobs lack of continuity in management and inexpert management for which the of electricity must foot the bill
 We wish to point again that in this case the private company is not fighting the proposed bond issue but remains silent the proposition, indicating to us least that the price which the people of Juneau would pay for the property is more than agreeable to the owners who would out of the deal with S9O0000 cash plus a huge reserve fund which the company has accumulated, plus bonds which the company has invested in and which paid the company in interest considerable amount last year.

We are in the happy position today of com plimenting Governor Ernest Gruenine for his good sense in re-appointing Senator O. D. Cochran Of Nome and MT A H Ziegler of Ketchikan as members of the Board of Regents of the University and the Board of Education respectively.
 Last Monday in editorial we stated that we believed the Governor would submit these reappoint ments in the light of action by the Legislature reject ing the appointments to these positions of his first choice because not do would be going against the wishes of the people of the Territory
 While we have been privileged to disagree with the present Governor many things we also believe on giving credit where credit due and We are Of the opinion that the reappoinment oi Senator Cochran and MT Ziegler wise decision from which the Territory will profit.
 It is a much more pleasant task for this news paper to agree with the Governor than to disagree and we are glad that ne mas given us this occasion to do.

THE UTILITIES QUESTION

One aspect of the soon-to-be voted-upon question of whether the City of Juneau should purchase the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company has hardly been discussed but believe that it is of sufficient interest.
 It is the question of the municipal government putting private business out of business and establish ing monopoly on that business regardless of whether or not the private company is doing good job.
 Such an act is a form of socialism. There of course examples where private utility operates it's business in such a way to make it imperative that the government in to protect the people How

LIFTING SECRECY VEIL

Tenacious Rep. Karl Mundt South Dakota Republican, deserves chief credit for smoking out the long secret Yalta-T -Teheran- PotSdam agreements.
 Mundt had been bounding State Department officials for some time, urging that they let the American people know the content of these agreements; but the State Depart ment rejected his appeals on the amazing grounds that the secret papers were of mo importance.
 Last week, however, while Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson was appearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Mundt collared him and refused to take mo" for an answer.

When the time is propitious," :" snapped Knutson.
 When will the time be propi- tious?" persisted the Rhode Island Congressman.
 Banging his gavei, Knutson made no reply.
 AS the Committee was about to vote out the Knutson tax bill, the Committees counsel mentioned that he would not have the amendment by Rep Thomas Martin of Iowa finally drafted until the following Monday. Because it was such a highly technical amendment, coun- sel explained that it would take time to shape up the proper lang uage.
 Despite this, Knutson insisted that the Committee vote the bill out. even though the Congressnen did not know the final language of the tax measure they were approv- ing Warned by the counsel that some technical changes might be necessary. Knutson snapped:
 All right, all right, let the Sen ate take care of that
 Does the Chairman have a li- cense to operate steamroller? asked one Committee member

Return AutOm0tive Taxes to the States
(New York Sum

tNew York Sun,
 To meet dwindling revenues at the dawn of the depression, the Federal government a temporary measure subjected the automobile, and the gasoline which makes it go to excise taxes In the fifteen intervening years, says the American Automobile As socation the government has collected from of automobiles total of S6 0OO 100000 That lot of money but does not represent the largest part of what motorists must pay in taxes. To steadily in creasing degree, State governments have looked to gasoline not only to meet the expense of highway construction and maintenance but to balance their general expense budgets
 For duration of the war, matter of patriotism, the A. A, A. dropped it's opposition to the Federal excise levies but that the emergency has passed it is asking that the national government step aside Transmitting to Congress resolution adopted at the annual meeting H.

white House Girl" is the title Of
1t and Observation-Disclosures is
being mighty cagey about what 1t
will have to say.
Not so much as a word hints of
what the story will be, whether it
will be about completely fictional
White House girl, or one OF the
many who actually have lived there.
Miss Durbin's major collaboration
on white House Girl" will be Dom
aid O'Connor, which intimates that
whatever young woman the studio
has in mind, she Is in for lively
time.
Strenuous even.
Just what its effect upon the
theater policy will be is something
that time alone can tell, but higher
education must exert some influence
upon the new Airport drive-in. It
is very close to an all George Wash
ington University project, the man
agement lets it be known.
Owner of the new establishment
(you can't say House" because it
hasn't a roof is Paul Foley who
received his A. B. in Government
at G.. w. in 1912; and the manager
is Fred Stevenson, and Ii. B., class
of 1899. Beyond these two stands
Mike Bolk, former G.. w. student,
who built the new theater.
Three university students are
connected with the project in lesser
capacity, boxof1ce, parking, etc.
The Airport management wants
1t understood, and no doubt ad-
mired, that their drive-in boasts
Of the largest screen in the world,
that 1t will accommodate 1000 cars,
and that there are individual speak
ers for each car. Furthermore,
children under IL are admitted
free.
All this fret about high costs in
the production of entertainment
can no more stop Cecil B. DeMine
today than 1t could more than 30
years ago, when his dreams were
the sort that left his colleagues
stunned. The script of "Uncon-
quered" ran a gigantic, blend and
confident 200 pages and called for
as many principals an extras as

Metro and Fox
Bid Novels
Price up
By SheiIoh Grohum

Elizabeth Taylor and Peggy Cum
Minis are in the supporting cast of
an odd SORT of fight, but they
don't know they are Metro is
scrambling to buy Seventeenth
Summer" for Elizabeth. And goth
Century-Fox is doing ditto for the
best-selling book, now in its twenty
sixth edition-for Miss Cummins.
It's the story of a 17-year-old girls
love life-and with Metro and Fox
outbidding each other, the buying
price has now reached $1,000
I'm told that Fred MacMurray,
John Wayne and Red Shelton each
lost about $4,000 in the now bank
rupt Cabana Club. But they are
not complaining-at least, I haven't
heard them. Manager Bo Roos has
steered them to fortunes in the past.
The story behind June Haver
doing 1.-THE Life of Marilyn Miller"
at Warmers, is amusing. The War
ners own the story of Miss Miller,
but 20th-Fox owns that about Jack
Donahue and he was Marilyn'S
dance partner and sweetheart. And
neither studio could do complete
life story without both characters.
So Daryl Zanuck made a deal
whereby Warmers gets the Donahue
part of the biography-and Miss
Haver Of 20th-Fox. The part will
make her a really big star-for the
later benefit of Zanuck.
Esther Williams is unhappy over
the death of Manolete. The famous
bullfighter coached her for Fiesta"
and gave her two bulls ears. He
once gave Ann Sheridan a bulls
tail!

There is gigantic collection of
film OF this nature, street scenes
from every city, and many a hamlet,

of this type. actors are arranged in
