TWO ELDER STATEMEN

Only two or three people know it, but elder statesman Herbert Hoover tried to get elder statesman Der nard Baruch to sign his recent let ter to Senator Styles Bridges eau tioning that the USA yves sending Europe more of it's natural resourc- Cs than it could afford
 Elder statesman No. ?, however, refused to go along with elder statesman Nc l.
 Why should I sign it?" Baruch told a friend afterward. The re- port? Why, certainly it's good It ought to be. Hoover stole stuff that I and General Marshall and Van denberg and Harry Byrd had been working on for a long time.
 Hoover has become citizen fix it., Baruch continued Hes been out of public favor so long that he's trying desperately to get back again. I'm afraid also that he's heading back toward isolation

The proportionately large native population of Alaska makes impossible the Territory carry the burden of educating all of the children alone. The fact that many States receive Federal tuition payments for the education of natives shows that the Federal government realizes that it is than State problem. Why then, this discrimination against Alaska?
 The intention of the ANS to close a number of schools this year is not easily understandable.
 According to Delegate E. L. Bartlett, the appro- pration for the ANS, amended by the Senate, now stands at s365oOoo or s22o992 more than last years budget of s3 42eOo8
 In l946 the ANS received for education S1,4l1 BOT which was more than the entire ANS budget for the year l944
 Certainly the problem of money has nothing to do with the closure of ANS schools.
 In this aspect. study of ANS appropriations over the last 10 years is interesting:

ANDRE GIDE IS GIVEN NOBEL LITERATURE AWARD FOR WORKS

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 13.-iR-The French author Andre Glide receiv- ed the Nobel prize in literature to- day
 The Nobel prize awards for phy- slos and chemistry were to be announced tonight.
 Glide, bald and bespectacled and lifelong bachelor, announced early in the l930s that he. had be- come a Communist. His enthus- iasm was at a peak from 1883 to 1886. He visited Moscow in 1886 when the purge trials were on and returned to Paris to write a book of bitter disillusionment, Re tour De L'U.R.S.S." The Com munist criticism caused Glide to write more of the same story of his disillusionment with Josef Sta lins Soviet Union.
 The book was 'Retouches A Mon Retour De L'U R.S.S." Many French intellectuals joined Glide in reaction against Communism. He is the eighth French officer to receive the Nobel award in lit erature. Glide has written con- stantly for 55 years.
