NAVAL RESERVE WEEK STATEMENT
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

From May Is to May rs, our Nation observes Naval Reserve
Week. 1t is a period of particular significance for all Americans
1t focuses attention on one of the peacetime Reserve organiza
lions upon which we largely depend for the strength to har
maintain our pledge of peace to the world.
This country is justly proud of the distinguished record OF
its Navy throughout 172 years of service. We are especially
proud of the fact that in the two most recent wars in our his
tory this Navy maintained its magnificent standards when pre-
dominanly composed of men and women who learned their naval
duties under the stress of an emergency already existing. 1t
is these men and women, now returned to civilian pursuits, who
form the trained nucleus of the Naval Reserve.
To the ranks of those trained Americans we must add others
in order that our peacetime Naval Reserve may be maintained
at high efficiency and adequate strength. To this end, Naval
Reserve Week this year will be the occasion of a special enroll
ment effort. Naval establishments will welcome visitors that
they may become better acquainted with the mission and the
work Of the Navy.
L commend the eligible citizens serious consideration of enlist
ment in the Naval Reserve. Not only will enlistment of an ade-
quate number make more secure the peace of our Nation and the
world; but enlistment will offer to the Individual an opportunity
to gain education Of great value in his civilian career.
l commend to all citizens understanding of and interest in the
and purposes of the new Naval Reserve; and I wish it every
success in its mission which is so vital to the future of this
Nation.

DESCRIBES FUNCTION
AND VALUE Of F.B.I.

Several boys from the graduating
senior class of Laurel high school
were guests Tuesday of the Rotary
club at the clubs weekly luncheon
meeting. They were introduced by
Fred w. Graft, superintendent of
schools, who expressed regret that
circumstances were such that all the
senior boys could not attend. Those
introduced were Joel Roth, Jack
Galusha, Charles Fink, Burton Pom
roy, William Roysdon, Stanley Ron
ME and Leo Foley.
President ]. P. Moore announced
he would leave on May 80 for San
Francisco and would attend the in
ternational convention of Rotarians.
Later he was instructed to vote for
moving the international headquar-
ters of Rotary from Chicago to Den
yer.
The club members unanimously
voted that the secretary be instruct
ed to write the recently organized
Laurel Kiwanis club a letter of con-
gratulations and good wishes for
success.
Rev. NJ. ]. Wilcox, a program
committeeman for the month, intro
duced the speaker, Paul j. Shine,
assistant chief of the Butte office
of the F. B. l., whose territory
embraces Montana and Idaho and
who said that to counteract crime,
reformation should be started in the
highchair and not in the electric
chair. The breakdown of morals in
young people, giving rise to juvenile
delinquency, reflects to a large ex-
tent the attitudes and actions of
older people who set precept and
example.
The federal bureau of investigation
was created in 1908 by the U. S. de-
partment of justice and is now 80
years old. 1t has made a splendid
record, Shine said, and is composed

There are 81 field offices, consisting

has been the head of the F. B. 7 for
% years.
The field work is carried on bv
highly trained young people, at one
time numbering about 1000 and now
numbering more than 5000. More
qualified employees are needed for
n increasing responsibilities assign
ed to the bureau. Of these the
greatest, beginning in 1916, is pro-
lection of secrets pertaining to
atomic energy.
The division of Identification at

print exchange, has 100, 900. 900

memory and are often identified
by f%ingerprints. Another instance
was identification of a woman who
had been murdered in Los Anveles.
The national academy was estab-
llshed II years ago to train out
standing young men and women for
service in the F. B. l.. By last
March 15,059 had graduated.
Fifteen years ago a technical lab

A fourth division is known as uni

nature and location of crimes
throughout the nation. Speaking of
postwar crime and juvenile delin-
quency, Shine said there have been
about 100000 major crimes in the
nation in the past year, one about
every 1877 seconds. The amount of

Three years ago Ed Smiths luck
went bad. His crops failed, and it
wasn't long before Eds home and
furnishings were up for auction.
Half the town turned out, and
Ed must have thought his neigh
bors were a bunch of hungry vul-
tures-buying up all his precious
possessions for a song.
When it was over, and the auc-
tioneer had left, Sam Alternately
turns to the crowd and says: ~All

Americans Read Papers

A Twentieth Century Fund survey
shows that Americans read more
newspapers than the people of any
other country. Before the war, cir
culation was sufficient to provide
one paper for every three persons
and the number of Sunday papers
equaled the number Of families. To-
day more than 40 per cent Of people
over ten years old buy newspapers.

lv. on farm and food prices Since 1889 farm prices have risen about 180 per and food prices have risen l40 per cent whereas prices other than farm and food have risen only 60 per cent and iron and steel prices have risen about 30 per cent.
 The unbalance which prevails in the price struc- ture today is due primarily to this very sharp rise in food prices and farm prices. This point is rein forced by an examination of the changes in the sumers price index since the beginning of 1946 Ap- proximately TO per cent of the increase has been attributable to the rise in food prices This rise in living has been the major factor underlying the demands for wage increases workers have found it increasingly difficult get along their prevailing wages. For other groups, namely, those with fixed incomes white e-collar workers Government employees etc. relief can only come through declining prices.
 The study of the Committee on the Economic Re port has two obecves to ascertain the causes of the present high prices and the distortions in the price structure and to determine what be done about the problem. The first of these should not be par
 cularly difficult. There is nothing really mysterious in the runaway rise in farm prices given the present situation in which heavy foreign drain on American agricultural commodities for world relief purposes coincdes with an unprecedented demand by the Am erican public
 In the second place, the Government was re- luctant in the early months of the to grapple firmly with price control particularly in the field of agriculture In consequence, farm prices had already by 10 per cent before general price control was adopted in 1922 Other factors making for a way market in farm prices the parity formula and the price floors to which the Government is committed under it's program to prevent the danger of price collapse after the and reconverson have passed Most of these elements are beyond the control of the present Administration but the latter has not been entirely gultess Its nept handling of relief grain purchases which eliminated recently in its actually cornerng the market in wheat added one complication, at least which the country might have been spared. More bascally, of course it's predis- position toward meeting all economic problems by granting higher wages has played decidedly in portant part in raising prices in all areas.
 Political considerations and the human element, 1t is clear therefore have contributed vastly to laying the foundation for the price imitation which now plaques us. And has laid foundation. it is not easy to it without rsking the collapse of the structure which rests upon it.

The slow downward trend of easy money" which supplied the initial momentum behind the present inflationary cycle is by no means an unfavorable economic portent Nor for that matter, is it without it's healthful aspects.
 instance since the first of the year purchases of Series Savings Bonds have exceeded redemptions by sizable margin. That marked a reversal Of the trend which began after and during the Victory Loan drive. During the first quarter of this year Bond purchases totaled s1 100000, compared with redemptons of S9740oo00O. In all of l946 re- demptons exceeded purchases by billion dollars.
 The sale-and redempton-of the Bonds pro- vide an accurate index of public thrift habits. They are the type of bonds which be bought only by individuals and therefore not influenced by large bloc purchases for commercial investment purposes
 The Treasury figures tend to indicate therefore that the pubc's money isn't merely disappearing hasn't been dissipated but, rather, is being saved pending the time our stocks of goods and prices in better balance. The backlog of our purchasing power in other words is being conserved - not burned out.

CTS oppose the Greek-Turkish loan, largely because it may weaken the United Nations. Administration leaders now admit privately there will be no universal military train- ing bill passed this year. While Congress slashes the Bureau of La Dor Statistics to ribbons, Senator Taft's joint Congressional Economic Committee is spending extra dough to have Dun and Bradstreet make an economic survey which overlaps the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Maj. Gen. Philip Fleming, Tor the past ten years head of public works and various other civilian agencies, will be back in the regu- lar army soon. He is the only army officer who attends Cabinet meet ings. Democratic big guns, in- cluding Mrs. Roosevelt, Secretary of the Treasury Snyder, and Gael Sullivan, will speak at the June Jefferson Day dinner in Los An geles.

LONG, FULL K FASHION TREND
 FOR THIS FALL

Definitely, everything will be long. PeplumS are out and big pockets are in. Coats will be very full So, the fashion picture for ladies is summed up by Yvonne Cooper, operator of Yvonne's wo- mems apparel shop in this city upon her return from trip to Pacific Coast style centers.
 Away from Juneau some weeks, Mrs. Cooper attended advance showings in San Francisco and Los Angeles. She conferred with several foremost designers, includ- ing Etta Gaynes, who had just returned from Paris. Their m- formation confirmed Mrs. Coopef's own impressions of the styles for fall.
 Another noteworthy trend Mrs. Cooper reports is the strong re- turn of fur trimmed garments, which is spurred by the removal Of the wartime Federal tax.
 She also reports parade of n.y. lon underthings led by nylon net gowns. Hosiery shades are to be very dark, with nylon it" Hos iery tones for autumn include blues, browns and black.

Grass Roots Opinion on the Closed Shop
(NeW York Sum

When Governor Robert D. Blue of Iowa placed his signature bill outlawng the closed shop his State became the thirteenth to enact such law since 1944 The Iowa statute similar to that in these other States makes unlawful to prevent any Iowan from working because he is is not member of labor union. also forbids deduction of union dues through the checkof without the written approval of the employee. Now in the list of States banning the closed shop Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Nebraska, New Mexico North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. None of these is an industrial State although of them do have large industrial interests and urban populations which are almost as great the rural. It is to such States that politicians have turned when they wanted to get down to the grass roots in quest of public sentiment They can find in the action of these Legislatures closer to their constituents in most instances than are members of Congress, proof Of the grass roots opinion the closed shop.

ALASKA NATIVE
 SERVICE MAY BE
 MOVED TO SITKA

Fred R. Geeslin, Acting Super intendent of the Alaska Native Service, said that ANS headquart- CTS will probably be moved from Juneau to Sitka if moving costs can be absorbed into regular ANS appropriations.
 Geeslin said that reasons for contemplating the move, are two- fold He explained that, in view of a Congressional cut in ANS appropriations, expenses must be pared down. Also, Geeslin said, the owner of the building in which headquarters are now located, has asked for an increase in rent. Geeslin said that he feels the in- crease is unjustified and would place too much of burden on an already strained budget.
