Smoking EN- out
BY HERMAN scHENDEL

Meet Joe the umbrella worker
He's the brainchild of the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers, and they present him to the
public in their Industrial Press
Service.
Joe makes an umbrella an hour,
for a dollar an hour, and the UNI
brella sells for a dollar. That's
bad, according to the creators of
Joe. His wages eat up every
thing and there's no profit with
such a setup.
BUT free enterprise comes to the
rescue: sit gets additional capital,
installs a stool for Joe to sit on,
conveyor to bring materials to
him, electric power to operate his
machine"
And then-"when Joe comes to
work he is amazed to find that
he can make TWO umbrellas, with
no more effort than it took to
make one the day before" They

COMMITTEES REPORT
 AT JUNIOR CHAMBER

The WrangelI Junior Chamber of Commerce held it's usual Mon- day noon meeting at Bakke's res taurant and heard a report from its various committees.
 Don House, who returned from Juneau last Sunday, reported on a talk with Leonard Smith. Terri torial Engineer, on the proposed Wrangen airport It vas revealed that 75 per cent of the cost would be covered by CAA with the Ter ritory putting up the other 9 per cent -- however, it has been the custom of the towns benefiting by the field to put up a small amount or at least furnish the site. A Clas4 2 field is proposed for Wrangell if and when it is constructed.
 House further stated that there was S25O0 waiting for the Town of Wrangell in the Highway En- gineer's office that would be given the town on completion of the sea wall.

NJ. Custard, chairman of the hydro electric and read committees re- ported that a request as being for warded to the District Highway Engineers office for extension O. the APA road down back channel toward opposite Mill Creek This would add to the accessibility of Mill Creek and lead to a site for a seaplane float that would be sheltered from the west winds which make the present site m town unfavorable at times.
 Chairman of the Transportation Committee, Jack Waters, reported that the Alaska Transportation Company was willing to make Wrangell port of call if it could get the freight further, that the Alaska Steamship Company was putting one cruise yacht into ser vice this summer but it would not call here. However, if additional yachts are required one would make Wrangell a port of call.

GOVERNOR RECOMMENDS
 DOUBLING GROSS SALES TAX
 IN MESSAGE TO LAWMAKERS

l JUNEAU - Governor Ernest 1 IGruening in his message yesterday to a joint session of the Territorial l Legislature. recommended doubling
 of the gross revenue tax to enable veterans of World War II to get loan and bonuses. At present353 applications for loans and 664 for for bonuses. totaling about S275,- coo are on file.
 If the Legislature wishes to carry out its financial obligation to Alaska veterans undertaken in 1946, it is clear it should both in crease the rate of income and make the total sum destined to be available substantially larger" the Governor said.
 The present tax on gros; revenue brings in about one and one half million dollars yearly.
 To meet budget requests of be- tween ten and eleven million dol lars, the Governor suggested tax ling sources not nuw paying to- ward the up-keep of tle Territory. specifically he mentioned construc- ton pointing out that the Army is now spending over $73,0O0,oUO in .the Territory on permanent con- struction which is let to contract Tor on a cost-plus basis. He said if "a levy was made and contractors and construction workers it would raise a substantial sum
 In 194I Governor Gruening re- commended an income tax on sim liar grounds - that vast war con- Jtruction was being carried on without any return to the Terri tory. He also pointed to shipping companies, airp ,ane companies and many others who, while in some instance pay Federal license taxes, pay nothing directly to the Terri tory.
 The Governor further suggested that persons living outside Of in corporated towns are among Alas kans not taxed, though they enjoy the facilities within the incorporat- ed towns which residents in those municipalities pay for. The Gov ernor recommended a reduction in unemployment compensation tax, now 2.1 per cent. There is now ov- CT S9,00O,000 in this fund and a reduction should be made in the ieyy, he said.
 The Governor asked for no specific form of taxation other than gross revenue for veterans, but rather pointed out sources from which revenue could be raised if the lawmakers wished to do so.

BLOW TORCH AND
 PIPE WRENCH BECOME
 SCEPTREs OF WRANGELL

Nearly every male resident of Wrangsll, and maybe even some ie- male. joined the order of the Blow Torch and Pipe Wrench" this week when the town woke up Tuesday morning to a temperature of four below zero.
 Houses, stores and offices with out frozen pipes or oil lines were few and far between and main topic of conversation when chat tering teeth allowed conversation. was when the last such cold spell occurred. Some pointed to a win ter 35 years ago when the temper ature plummeted to IT below, but Walter Shaddesty, who came to Nrangell in 1901 vowed he'd nev- q seen a winter like this one.
 Highest temperature on Mon day was 12 above with a low of IO above, according to the U. S. weather bureau. Tuesday saw a high of l2 above and below. On Wednesday the mercury scared" Ho f above and during the night dropped to 95 below. Yesterday S highest was 1 above and lowest s below This morning at } o'clock the reading was below and at noon the the thermometer had crawled to 1 above, but indications were it had given out at that point and would probably slide back in- stead of going higher
 At least Wrangeu had soma fort - it wasnG the coldest place On the map. That honor went to little place called Snag, in Yukon Territory which reported a low of 7S.7 degrees below zero, by which temperature it won the distinction ot experiencing the lowest temper ature ever recorded on the North American continent.
 Total snowfall recorded here up TO January 24 was 93 inches and the greatest depth of undrifled snow on the ground at one time was 3S12 inches. December exper- fenced heat wave with tempera- turs of highest 1 5 above and low est g above.
 Freak weather seemed to be matter Of course throughout the nation. California even had to ad- mt II was having snow; VancOu- yer Island was Iashed by 7O-mlle- an-hour gales which did over d mllilon dollars damage and cy- clones and tornadoes swept Tna south and middle west
 over DION torch and pipe wrench various theories were propOundeu ds to the cause of the worlu freaN " eather. Even southern France eX- perienced the coldest weather in more than 100 years Of record keeping, some said it was caused by the Bikini Atom bomb tests of last summer; some blamed theI shifting of the magnetic pole and some blamed the Administration. while the more conservative ones just blamed - the weather.

FIRE CAUSES LOSS

Fire. apparently caused by a de- fective chimney, caused consider able loss last night to the home of Mrs Charley Jones when the upper story of the house was completely destroyed. The fire department was called out at 1O:30 and brought the blaze quickly under control thus saving the main part of the structure. Greatest loss. probably was said to be of many old-time and early day Indian relics and curios which Mrs. Jones is said to have had stored in the attic and which cannot be replaced.

The close-mouthed vagabond in
sisted he was a world traveller in
stead of a tramp but he couldn't
sell his story. The judge said 60
days on the roads.
Miles, who paused here on his
round-the-world tour, was hustled
off to the Duke Hospital psychiat-
ric ward when the cops found him
wearing long underwear and two
suits of clothes in the August heat.
But the hospital found him sane
just a tramp who "didn't get
along with other people,. and TX
ed to bum around.
That made Miles feel better
that and being moved from the
city lookup, to the county jail.
There he decided to eat for a
change and eve went through the
motions of a bath.
Police said they did not believe
miles, was the tramp's real
name, but he refused to talk any
further.
A jail attendant, however, said
Miles told him he one escaped
from A New Jersey asylum. But
on the stand the vagabond would
not talk.
DR.. ". W. Burgess at Duke hos
pital melted Miles silence with a
sedative but found out little.
Miles told the doctors of wan
dering around the Eastern United
States for two years, begging
handouts, and living in the fields
and woods.
DR.. Burgess told police there
was no evidence of insanity but
certain facts point to his poor
life adjustment and an inability to
get along with other people,
When arrested, Miles was car
rying a heavy wad of newspapers.
He said these were his bed. He
also carried a pint whisky bottle
filled with water but only a few
cents in money-tied in a dirty
rag.
His speech indicated he was
from the Northeastern states but
he carried no Identification.
Miles resented being arrested
while "pausing" on his "world
tour" He didn't want a job and
he wasn't hungry.
He just wanted to be let alone.

Tech Dies As Plastic
Plates Prove Nemisis

SPRINGFIELD, III. Aug. 30
U.D-Tech, a dog whose appetite
for wartime plastic license plates
brought him national fame, is
dead. He died chasing a delicious
Alabama license plate.
Tech stirred up headlines across
the country in 1945 when he was
impounded for eating Illinois plas-
tic license plates.
When the world learned that the
pooch had eaten himself into the
dog pound, thousands of persons
offered to adopt him and heaped
abuse on Springfield city officials
responsible for his imprisonment.
Tech subsequently moved to
Hamilton, Ala, with his master,
j. R. Fitzpatrick, and word reach
ed here yesterday that he was
killed there wrile chasing an
other automobile.
