A New Way with the Budget
(Nev York Times

Until this year in the words of the La Toilette Committees reorganization report Congress supervised
 the worlds largest enterprise without any coordina- ton between it's revenue raising and appropriating committees" Of course every member of Congress that if spent than we took in the public debt would incerase From time to time debt limits were set, each time at a higher level In period of severe depression it did not possible to balance the budget and in time of it certainly not. But it is strange in country where business has been made almost a science that the elementary step of balancing expected income against planned outgo was not long ago taken by the Federal Government
 The Presidents budget message will be the first stage in new dispensation. Four committees or their sub-committees will take first whack at it. These the House Committees on Ways and Means and Appropriations and the. Senate Committees on Finance and Appropriations. Using the Presidents recommendations as starting point, these commit tees meeting jointly will draw and report to their respective Houses "a legislative budget for the ensuing fiscal year including the estimated overall Federal receipts expenditures for such year This report must include "a recommendation for the maximum amount to be appropriated for expenditure in such year" It must be sent in by Feb. l5
 With it will go concurrent resolution for sub- mission to each House. If the estimated expenditures exceed the estimated receipts the resolution must take of that fact and state the of Congress that the debt should be increased by the estimated amount The La Toilette Committee proposed that this resolution be passed by record vote The law does not go far. Yet it probable that there will be sufficient to compel such vote, so that every member of each House will have to say where he stands.
 The new provisions do not mean that there will never be any more log-rolling They do not mean that no unnecessary harbor will again be dredged commercially useless river again improved no new posoffce built where an old would do. They do not that the four committees of the two Houses will be able to agree without wrangling and compromise They do not that the national debt will never again be increased. We cannot peer far into the future. It may have to be
 But the provisions do seem 70 mean that these matters will be scrutinized as they have not been in the past. The who propose to spend money will have to explain themselves to the men who have to think up plans for raising money and both will pre- sumably have to explain themselves to the public The worlds largest enterprise" beginning to get on a more busnesslike footing

ONE THING WRONG WITH p-TA SHOW,
 SAYS EXHIBITOR

There is only one thing wrong with this Alaska Color Variety Showi" says Trevor Davis. When am going to be able to see all the other pictures? I don't want to miss single one, but how can |. see them and show my own?"
 That's my plight, too, and I've been wondering about the same thing" answers Dr. J. o. Rude. 1 Trevor Davis will show new films at Friday evenings Alaska Color Variety Show. pictures which have never been seen before. These will include an aerial reel of the Alaskan Coast range mountains with tele- scopic lens views of the Mt. Fair weather range, scenic of the Prince William Sound area, and an interesting reel of bears, uncom- fortably close
 As an added attraction, Davis will run his film of the visit of the sea lions to Gastineau Channel last summer, when he caught their an- tics and frolics exceptionally beau tifully
 pr. Rude will present moving pictures of his westward vacation trip last summer down the Yukon River. He will share the thrills of the trip from Skagway to Eagle, from Eagle to Shishmaref hy way of Fairbanks and Nome, and home ward from Shishmaref through Mt. Mckinley National Park and An chorage to Juneau.

 Henry Harmon. principal of the High School, says about his pie lures: Now understand, my pic lures I took for my own personal pleasure. They are subjects l want ed for myself and I think they are unusual. I have wolverines, sea lions, wild deer, hunting and sport fishing shots"
 Others who will be showing slides and movies are Dr. George A. Dale, Malcolm Creamy, A. N. Eide and Edward L. Keithahn.

UP FOR RE-EXAMINATION

Spokesmen for labor. representing all union groups in Alaska that affiliated with the American Fed eration of Labor gathered in Juneau for what may well prove the most important annual convention of the Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor that has or will be held important to labor itself and to the Territory.
 It is all very well to bid the labor delegates welcome wish them a successful convention, then forget about them; but the program that they will develop here can be worth far more of our interest than that Organized labor throughout the nation, is at one of the critical points of the entire history of the labor movement Former champions are now turned critics and many who rode along with the labor movement for their personal gain are deserting what may apeear, at first glance, sinking ship.
 But the organized labor movement is too well founded easily go under It can be expected to ride the current storm and emerge stripped to responsive trim its mate stability dominant. it's present un- wieldly deckload of luxures jettsoned
 Whether to begin the process of heaving the non- essentials overheard actually the major decision that faces the delegates assembled here and Alaska labor as well as Alaska business and industry profit greatly by their squarely facing the issue

10 percent rent increase which President Truman suddenly killed last week. Inside fact is that the real estate lobby was so close to getting the rent hike approved that the OPA actually had it's offi- cial announcement mimeographed and ready for release to the press.
 Here is the inside story of what happened and how the CLOS canny Phil Murray killed the rent blitz.
 At II am. Murray got tip from an OPA employee that rents were going to be increased. Immediately he phoned Presidential Reconver- sion Director John Steelman.
 John, I just learned that the OPA is drafting an order to raise rents 10 percent through the Of- lice of Temporary Controls" Mur- ray said. The order is to be re- leased today, effective Fehguary lst."
 That's the first I've heard of it, Phil" replied Steelman. However, he promised to look into it and call Murray back.
 Murray had a delegation ready to make vigorous protest to Steel man but advised them to wait. Meanwhile he confirmed the fact that the order raising rents not only had been drafted, but was completed.
 After lunch, having no word from Steelman. Murray dictated a blunt letter to the President, denouncing the rent increase as violation of Truman's frequently violated argu- ment to hold the line on prices. He asked Truman how labor could be expected not to ask for higher wages and not to strike when land- lcrds scalped the nations tenants
 AS Murray was finishing his let ter, he received another call from his OPA informer saying that the order raising rents was about to be mimecgraphed for release to the press. Immediately he called Steel man again, asking what the Presi- dential assistant had learned Steel man said he hadn't been able tC confirm the report, also that the Presidents position was well knowl as being opposed to any rent in crease by the Administration, ex- cept in hardship cases.

around so I'm going to send my let ter over to the President imlned- lately"
 Murray hung up, let word ieak to the press that the 10 percent rent increase was in the bag News men immediately queried the White House, which finally brought the matter to the Presidents direct attention when White House press secretary Charlie Ross laid the news ticker flash on the Presidents desk. Simultaneously, Murray's letter was placed in front of the Chief Exc cutive
 At this point Truman hit the ceiling.
 well nip this one in the bud, he said and ordered Ross to an- nounce there would be no rent in- crease unless it was ordered by Congress. In matter of minutes, the White House announcement was on the wires.
 When OPA officials saw it, they turned green around the gills, has, tily ripped up the order increasing rents 10 percent, and reversed a previous press announcement that statement would be available from OPA."
 So it was a double play from Murray to Steelman to Truman that blocked the real estate lobby's latest operation.

KNOW YOUR LEGISLATOR Today:
 0. D. COCHRAN

If near the turn of the century
 YOU had walked into a particula
 home in Virgil City, Missouri, anC
 picked up the well-thumbed famil, Pible, you would have fount recorded there the birth of a son Orville Deville Cochran-destinec years later to become Dean of tht Eighteenth Legislative Session Territory of Alaska.
 The Awful Devil" Ia nickname given him by teasing aunt grew up in this small town where ht attended grade school and went or to finish high school in Parsons Kansas. Throughout his early edu. cation 70. D.'s" main interest was law so it was only natural that he should sheek higher education along legal paths. He entered and was graduated from the University of Oregon, immediately commenc- ing practice in the city of Port land
 This was short-lived. Bold head lines announcing rich gold discover ies on the beaches of Nome and attendant lawlessress caused the budding lawyer to close his doors and head for greener fields. Board ing a Union Pacific steamer he was off to the new bonanza-arriving in Nome on July IA, 1900. There his green fields became tundra fol over a hundred lawyers had sci up practical
 This did not deter Lawyer Coch- ran. Nome, a seethirg mass oi some 12,000 persons, provided many clientele from it's fragrant dance halls, saloons and mining camps and ke prospered. Many are the tales he can tell of this early gold town and notable people who are part of it's gaudy history Tex Rickard, Rex Beach, and "defen- dant" Charlie Frank who thrics stood trial for murder. When weary of work, he sought relaxation by fishing in nearby streams.
 In 1911, O. D. Cochran married Miss Inez Huntoon Together they shared p years of happy welded life until her unexpected death ir 1883.
 Over a period of years he serv- ed the city of Nome as it's Magis- trate, City Attorney, and Mayor With an excellent legal and politi- cal background this uncle was Gov ernor of the State of Missouri, il was only natural that 70. D. should try his hand at Territorial politics. Elected on the Democratic ticket he first served in the House of Representatives in 1921 After z lapse of years, he was again elected in 1887 to the Senate where ht has served continuously for sil terms, being selected President 1T 1943. Ire Second Division can vel be proud of it's Senator Cochran whose long legislative record ha' been outstanding.

TEACHER HERE ON
 way TO SLEITMUTE

Mrs. Lora Miller, teacher in the village of Sleitmut, is spending a few days in Juneau enroute from a months vacation in Seattle. She has the distinction of being the only white woman in the commun- ity, and reveals that her work with the Eskimos is so versatile that she wouldn't trade jobs with Bess Truman.
 Besides her work with the g pupils of her school. Mrs. Miller handles all social and medical work since there is no doctor in the village. The school is the so- cial center of Sleitmut, and Mrs Miller states that the monthly dances held always draw a huge turnout of all villagers upwards of 4 years old. Eskimo youngsters are very rhythmical, says the teacher and love to sing and dance Then favorite reading material, incident ally, is Sears-Roebuck and Mont gomery Ward catalogs.
 Mail is received every ten days via air transport from McGrath, and the nearest trading post is two miles up the Kuskokwim Riv- CT, Mrs Miller said, but despite their isolation. the Eskimos of Sleitmut, numbering 85 in popula- tion, are happy. contented people busily engaged in fur and fishing industries. Although housing fac ilitiss are ccgercrcwded to a ser iouS disadvantage, food and fuel are plentiful since this is a wooded country and fuel-gathering is no hardship.
 After her past ten years of teach ing experience in the States before coming to the Territory to take over the Sleitmut school in 1945, Mrs. Miller states 8 decided pref erence for her present work among the fun-loying and learn native children

coming year it might be well to point out that an item that might well be left behind is the attitude too generally adopted by organized labor groups That one who agrees with anything less than 100 per cent of their thinking is an enemy.
 This is a time when labor can proftably learn to know it's true friends and it is not much to say that it's best friends may well be those who undertake to point the faults in it's organization and who invite the caumny that is too often the lot of those willing honestly to examine its aims for error.
