Wallace Will Run For President With
 Third Party

Continued from Page OneJ will continue as a contributing ed itor and will write a weekly page for the magazine. He became edi- tor of the New Republic after re- signing from the cabinet.
 Wallace's ann ounc e m n brought statement from Sen. Glen H. Taylor D.-Idaho) that he is considering the possibility of running for vice president on a ticket headed by Wallace.
 The former vice president, who was elected with President RooSe- welt in l940 and then dropped in favor of Harry Truman in 1944, said thousands of people" had asked him to engage in this great fight"
 The Progressive Citizens of America and the new Progressive party of Chicago had suggested that Wallace enter. the race, In addition, Wallace spokesman said that persons from Is states and the District of Columbia had make a similar request Monday. The decision of the PCA to en- dorse Wallace last week caused resignation of two of the organiza- tion's top officers.
 Calling for volunteers to support his venture Wallace told his radio audience:
 "A new party must stand for a positive youth program of abun- dance and security, not scarcity and war. We can prevent depres- sion and war if we only organize for peace in the same comprehen- sive way we organize for war"
 He said the Democratic party has refused to change it's policy and asserted that it's leadership will deprive the American peo- pie of their rightful opportunity to choose between progress and re- action in 1948."

Gruening Will Not Call Special lSession Without Taxes

JUNEAU, (H0 - Gov. E r ne | Gruening said today he would not call a special session of the Alas ka legislature unless he receives a specific promise from members that they will pass necessary leg islation for meeting the Territory's financial obligations"
 The governor said Territorial funds were in desperate condi- tion" with the shortage particular ly damaging to programs for edu- cation, health, pensions and veter- ans.
 But he asserted there was no reason to put the Territory to the S50,000 expense of special ses- sion unless he was assured of leg islation enabling the Territory to collect taxes needed to meet Obli- gations. Governor Gruening said he had received two requests to call a special session, while lat least dozen others" urged him not to do so.
 At Ketchikan, meantime, Sen. Norman R. Walker said he had written the governor in letter due here today asking him to call session lat the earliest possible time" to cope with financial prob lemS.
 Walker said he had assurance that two Senators who opposed q net income tax in the regular 1947 session would support it now. Wal ker also suggested that a special session extend the sale stax for the benefit of Alaska veterans.
 The Ketchikan Chronicle said it understood Walker was seeking pledges from fellow Senators to support tax legislation.

Navy Activates First Alaska
 Reserve Unit

Alaska's first Naval Reserve unit, known as Electronic Warfare Platoon 17-1, a unit of the inactive Naval Reserve, was officially acti- vated recently at the platoon's ra- dio station, Kodiak, Alaska.
 It. Gg) Robert w. Willett, USNR Officer-in-Charge of the platoon, and three naval reserve enlisted men were congratulated by Com mander James D. Babb, Seven teenth Naval District personnel of ficer for their outstanding work in building their station, despite shortages of material and money. All necessary radio equipment, however, was furnished by the Navy.
 At the brief ceremony, the Com mander pointed out the import ance of such Naval Reserve radio stations to the community as evil denced by the work of units after the Texas City explosion and dur ing the Pittsburgh floods. On such disastrous occasions the Naval Re- serve radio stations have served as the only means of communica- ton from the distressed areas.
 Commander Babb predicted that "hams" throughout Alaska will become interested once Pla- to0n 17-1 is on the air, and will wish to organize their own Elec- tronic Warfare Platoons. A suffi- cient number of such Naval Re- serve units would provide a de- sired network which would be a vital system of communication throughout the Alaska -Aleutian area.
 It was pointed out that as a member of one of these platoons a ham" will have access to equip ment that he could not possibly af- ford for his own station and in ad- dition will receive expert training on new types of equipment issued from the regular navy supplies of such material.
 The four men who compose the group are: It Gg) Willett, Robert Blaisdell, William McMelleon, and Larry Haslett.

Englishmen Had Prolonged Host Weekend"

When England changed New Years Day from March 25 to Jan uary in l752 and adopted the Gregorian calendar, thousands of Englishmen suffered a prolonged Host weekend" and it wasn't caused by an excess of holiday conviviality.
 According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the change in the cal endar made it necessary to wipe out II days of the year, which was done by declaring that the day af- ter September 2 was September l4, not September 3. This brought England into step with the Catholic countries, which had adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1892.
 Incidentally, George Washing ton was born lon February P (old style February 1D."
 During the Middle Ages, March 25 was considered the first day of the new year by most Christian peoples, but in Anglo-Saxon Eng land, New Years Day fell on what is now Christmas-December 25. At the time of the Norman Con- quest of England, however, Will liam the Conqueror ordered that the year should start on the first of January.
 Still later, England reverted to the custom observed by the rest of Christendom and began her year on the 25th of March, and that date remained the first of the legal and ecclesiastical year until 1752, when the calendar was adjusted to the Gregorian system which is still in use today.
 The ancient Egyptians, Phoeni- clans and Persians began their year at the autumnal equinox September 21, and until the fifth century before the birth of Christ, the Greeks regarded the winter solstice, December 21, as the first day of the new year. The notion of celebrating New Years Day on January was introduced by Cae- sar when he adopted the Julian calendar and postponed the Ro- man holiday of New Years from December 2l to January.
 Even today, New Years is cele- brated on a wide variety of differ ent days. The beginning of the Jewish year, for instance, falls some time between September and October 5, depending on the date of the beginning of the month of Tishri. The new civil year for the Chinese begins with the first day of that moon in the course of which the sun enters into the sign of the zodiac which corresponds with our sign Pisces" The sun en- ters Pisces about February 19.
 The Mohammedans keep holy the first ten days of Moharram, the first month of their year, and in Siam, the new year is cele- brated for three days.
