Hel p From Mining Congress

(Da1ly Alaska Empire)
 THE AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS, at it's re- cent session in E Paso attended by secretary of the terlor Julius A. Krug, adopted resolution which may help this Territory in clearing up the reservation by proclamation problem.
 The section pertaining to Alaska reads as follows:
 We earnestly urge an immediate review by Congress of all laws under which numerous, extensive and un- warranted reservations have been established in the United States and Alaska by executive order during the past ten years to the end that the potentially valuable minerazed embraced in these reservations be re- stored to the public domain.
 "The vast Territory of Alaska is of great importance to the nation for it's minerals fish and timber We are deeply concerned over the present policy of the interior department of creating huge reservations there for small groups of ndians reservations which make pros pecting and mineral exploration prohibtive.
 We persuaded that these vast reservations n- stead of beneftng the Indians and Eskmos are actual ly detrimental to them We urge that the reservations already created by executive order be abolished, and that those under contemplation be not established" Attorney H. L. Faulkner, who attended the Mining Congress session. member of the resolutions com mittee and it apparent that the foregoing the result of his work.
 While in Ell Paso Mir Faulkner was able to secure an unschedued interview with Secretary Krug to specfi- cay discuss the Hydaburg proposed reservation.

One Mans Opinion
 tBY Walter Kiernan)

Hank Wallace says there will be third party if the race gets down to Tweedledum and Tweedledee- there are two guys he could lick. It looks now as though candi- dates will be drawn by straws in '48-the loser has to run. Only few years ago Hoover was promising two chickens in every pot-these days it's had to get one in. Senator O'Daniel charges that the government has concealed 280 million dozen eggs-Us chick ems have right to complain about that. The way it looks now we are headed for a national omelette
 And it won't be all eggs. Not that it will be new-In 1922 Fio- rello La Guardia was waving a porkchop in the halls of Congress and shouting: What working man can afforde to pay 30 cents for one chop?" U. N.

 There is method in their mad ness. Despite fantastic obstacles. Italy has managed 10 achieve a surprising measure of recovery from a war that hit her with par iicularlY devastating force.

Our Dissenting Presidents
CThe Denver PoSD

VETO" MIGHT WELL be President Truman's middle name. Only two American presidents have used the veto power more frequently than he has, according to tabulation prepared in the re- search division of the Republican national committee. They were Franklin D. Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland, both Democrats.
 In less than three years and in three sessions of Congress, Presi- dent Truman has vetoed 106 pub lie and private bills. In twelve years, Franklin D. Roosevelt ex-' ercised the veto power 63l times. In eight years, Cleveland used 5S4 vetoes.
 Only one bill, the Taft-Hart]ey act, was passed by Congress over President Truman's veto. Seven of Cleveland's vetoes were overrid- den. Nine of the measures disap- proved by Roosevelt were passed over his veto.
 When control of both Houses of Congress changed hands in 'he 1946 election, there was wide spread speculation on how a Dem- ocratic President would get along with Republican law-making body. From President Thuman's veto record, it appears he has had fewer differences with a Republi- can Congress than with Congress controlled by his own party.
 In l945 and l946, with a Dome cratic majority in both Houses, he vetoed Seventy-four bills. During the first session of Congress this year, with the Republicans in con- trol of both Houses, he used only thirty-two vetoes.
 The real test of the Presidents ability to get along with Repub- lican Congress-and vice versa is yet to come. Next year is cleo tion year.

Palestine Partition

(Rocky Mountain NeWs)
 MAJORITY RECOMMENDATION of the United Nations Committee Palestine contain no ideal sou- ton.
 But in general they probably represent fair co- promise of that "insouble" problem as could be ex- pected.
 The Zonists under this pan would get the separate state they want; and though less than they ask territory than other experts would grant them They also would get recognition of the immigration principle though a lower immediate quota than de- manded. Naturally the Arab majority in Palestine and the Arab nations opposed.
 Partition of Palestine is the opposite of ideal solu- ton Only unity give the greatest strength and we'll being to that small country and its mixed population. But the bloody strife of late years and especially of cent months proves all too ragicaly that extreme par tisans will not let normally peaceful Jewish and Arab neighbors live together in amity. Partition might not bring immediate end to strife but it to offer more hope than continuation of the present impossible situation The federal plan, proposed by the committee minority is better theoretically but probably unwor able, because of the bad blood
 If there to be partition, certainly Jerusaem-Holy City of Jew, Moslem and Chrisan-should be nterna- tionalized under United Nations trusteeship as pro- posed

For the second straight year the

linkswomen's 14-4 triumph in a re-

Henry, they are Penti Lund, Bobby
Schurr, Jack McGill, Gino Rozzini,
Eddie Emberg, Mark Marques, Cor
