Trenton, N. J.-Local Union No.
as got down to business for the
new year on January 10. Meetings
had been suspended since Decem-
Der 20. There was a good atten-
dance and many important issues
discussed.
The new officers were installed
by Brother AL Davies. We are sure
they will do their best to take
care of our interests. However, we
should not leave decisions entirely
in their hands, but rather they
should carry out the desires of the
rank and file. And how can they
do this if the rank and file is not
in attendance to present their de-
sires. Most of the graft and cor
ruption that has crept into organi-
cations, not only labor organiza-
tions, is due entirely to lack of in
terest of the members. So let US
resolve in 1947 that we will do
our duty better than in the past.
One of these duties will be to come
to the next meeting when nomina-
tions of national officers and A.
F. of l.. delegates are to be pre-
sented.
Flowers were sent to the funeral
of our late Brother James Elder
who for 20 years was health Off
Ger of the Trenton Potteries Com
pany. Brother Elder retired five
years ago. Our sincere sympathy
is extended to his family and the
family of Brother Michael Carolin
of No. 35 who was always a good
friend to the members of No. 45.
New contracts in sanitary will
soon be the order of the day and
we hope a sincere effort will be
made to make them more uniform,

We hope to have Harry Vile

Fleming Urges 80th Congress Plan
Public Works For Full Employment

Washington (FP) - State and
local plans for public works pro-
jects to take up the slack of unem-
ployment in depression time fall
far short of what is needed, Fed
eral Works Administrator Philip
B. Fleming told Congress in his
annual report covering the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1916.
Fleming said Congress so far
made plans for the immediate
postwar period, but that no long
range plans to keep America at
work had been enacted, and the
immediate program expires on
June 80, 1947.
Fleming said a national income
of $50 billion dollars was estimated
as necessary to keep the country
at full employment, and that 10
per cent, or Is billion dollars, is
the usual proportion spent on new
construction. Of that, he said, fed
eral, state and local public works
form normally about a third, or 5
million dollars, with state and local

dollar return to the government.
"To date the results achieved by
the War Assets Administration in
the disposal of real property in
dicate that the antimonopoly OBJ
jectives of the act are largely paid
lipservice only"
The report said the trend to-
ward monopoly in placing war con-
tracts and building plants early
in the war was supposed to be re-
versed as the government disposed
of its wartime acquisitions, but the
opposite has been the case.
"On an original cost basis or on
purchase price basis" the report
said, "nearly 70 per cent of all
plant sales and leases thus far
have been made to approximately
60 firms which rank among the
largest $50 manufacturing firms in
the country"
The Senate committee staff re-
ported "a general reluctance to
abide by the INSTRUMENTATION
provisions of the surplus property
act" by WAA officials. 1t was also
made clear that the House surplus
committee when headed by former
Representative Roger Slaughter
indicated it did not believe the act
meant what it scys namely, to.
place social and economic objec-
tives ahead of the immediate cash
return to the government"
The group recommended that

Duffy Visits With

New Castle, Pa. President
James M. Duffy was a very well

The membership was very atten-

of the local members considerably
by his far sighted leadership and

In this brief President Woll con-
tends that
1.-The reasoning which sup

ued high national income, and,
jeopardizes the expansion of
American industries in the United
States"
3.-"Measured by results tariff
rate reductions of 80 per cent on

larged employment opportunities

itself, increased our export trade,
and, did not promote Peace among

"Russia Looks At Alaska With COvetOus Eyes,

WASHINGTON, (P)-The State Department said today it knew of no question being raised by the Russians as to Americas right to Alaska, either officially or unoffi- cially.
 The subject of Russia's possible renewed interest in the Territory, acquired by purchase from her in 1867, had been broached by Rep. Gearhart CR.-CalifD.
 He said both in an interview and again in the House yesterday that Soviet Russia is looking at Alaska with covetous eyes"
 The Californian also suggested that possibly Russia plans ito claim a much greater price for that territory than was originally paid"-Alaska cost this country S7,200, ,000-and asked:
 Or does she plan to repossess herself of that treasure house of the Far North?"
 In the face of state department disclaimers, Gearhart suggested a possibility of secret talks, and of a tie-up with slow Russian lend lease settlements.
 Gearhart urged that the Alaska question be brought out "into the open"
 The American people," he said, have a right to know what, if any, secret conversations have been held between our diplomats on this important question"
 Gearhart said he had been in- formed that the Russian newspaper Pravda claimed the Czar acted without the consent of the Russian people when he sold Alaska to the United States in 1857 for $7,200,- 900. He said further that report CT for "a great American news

Arm, To Improve Wranggell Narrows

SEATTLE, (P)-The Seattle dis tict office of the corps of engineers today announced it would open bids Friday to launch a S2,700,000 project of improving navigation or famed Wrangell Narrows-the tor tuous, 20-mile waterway connect ing Sumner Strait with Frederick Sound, west of Metkof Island and serving Petersburg and Wrangell. It is part of the protected" inside route from Puget Sound to the Gulf of Alaska through which passes virtually all the water com merce between Alaska and DOT tiOns of British Columbia and the Yukon.
 Strong tides and severe climatic conditions made difficult the loca- ton of the many uncharted ob- structions in the passage which ranges from 380 yards to a mile in width and has a natural dept of about 24 feet. Its strong tidal fluc- tuations, ranging to 24 feet, pro- duce current velocities up to ' miles an hour
 That portion of the project for which funds are available is ex- pected 70 be completed by July, 1948. If sufficient funds are appro- priated by Congress during the next fiscal year, it is anticipated the presently authorized project will be completed by July, 1949.

NatiOnalists Enter Communist Capital
lBy Harold K. Milks)

HAWKING, (P) - Fast moving Chinese Nationalist troops took over the Chinese Communist capi- tai of Yenan today at the end of a 200-mile forced march from Sian.
 The first of the government forces at 10 am. today entered the Red capital-virtually a ghost city since its evacuation by the Com munists and the removal of prac- everything that could be removed.
 Dispatches announcing the cap ture mentioned no fighting and it was presumed that Communist Gen. Ho Lungs defense troops had faded into the Shensi province mountains. Party chieftain Mao Tse-Tung and other Communist leaders earlier were reported to have left the city.
 The occupation, following swift ly behind an announcement by minister of information Pen Hsueh- Pei that the government column was within sight of Yenan, indi- cated that the Communists had made good their planned evacua- ton and carried out their decision not to defend the city.
 The announcement from Peng had placed the troops of Gen. Hu Chung-Nan within sight of the

they feel they have a chance to win.
We saw the last wal STAT while we
were smugly talking about peace.
We saw our Navy destroyed before
we knew there was to be a war.
Next time the blow will be more
sudden, the result more paralyzing.
England will not be strong
enough to hold off the enemy while
we get ready. Thus it is that our only
alternative to destruction as a nat
ion is military strength SO well pre-
pared in training and equipment no
nation will dare to attack us. So let
us give serious thought to the Re-
gulars, the National Guard, the Re-
serves; to those public spirited citi-
zens who are actively preserving the
peace by service in the armed forces.
Applaud them, perfect their equip
ment, enable them to strike first and
hardest or react with overpowering
force instantly if attacked.
