Bishop Protests Divorced Marriage

NEW YORK, P)-Bishop Will liam T. Manning, in letter in the current issue of "The Living Church." has protested the fact that the first wife of Elliott Roose- welt was permitted to marry a clergyman of the Protestant Epis- copal church.
 The retired bishop of the Dio- cese of New York also protested the fact that the Very Rev. Rink B. O'Ferrall, dean of St. Paul Cathedral, Detroit, was allowed to marry a divorced woman.
 Tn his letter, Bishop Manning asked whether the action in the two dioceses concerned meant i've are now to have a number of ecclesiastical Renos, and the consequent abolition of any Chris tian standards of marriage in the church."

Alaska RR. Bad As Old World Lines

FAIR BANKS, (P) - Alaska's Seward -to-Fairbank railroad line was compared Wednesday by the wartime head of the army rail- way service to rotten and demol- ished railroads the American armed forces faced in moving wartime freight in Italy, Germany and Iran.
 The "knoW how" acquired in rehabiltating the War-Wrecked foreign lines, said former Maj. Gen. Carl Gray, Jr, will enable American crews to meet the prob lems of modernizing the govern ment-OWned Alaska Railroad, but he said it promised a staggering assignment.
 Gray'S comment followed his inspection of the full route of the 475-mile line. He heads an off cial party inspecting the line with Col. J. P. Johnson, the railroad general manager, to report to sec retary of interior Krug on specific steps for bringing the Territory's inland lifeline" to the standards of United States railroads. The road is under department of in- terior jurisdiction.

HOUSE PASSES TWO BILLS
 OF BENEFIT TO ALASKA

WASHINGTON = Two bills in- troduced by Delegate Bartlett have been passed unanimously by the House and referred to the Sen ate for action.
 One measure would make pos sible exploration for and mining or gold and other minerals in the beds of navigable streams in Alas. ka which is nor now perGItted under existing law. Such expfora- tion would be subject to the iuris- diction of the War Department for the protection of navigation. Safe guards provided by Delegate Bart lett are contained in the bill that the Fish and Wildlife Service will keep a constant check upon min ing to make certain that the sal mon and other fish running in the streams will not be endangered.
 The second oil receiving sane ton of the House recently was Delegate Bartlett's legislation au- thorizing the Secretary of Agri- culture to sell approximately I.3 acres and an old deteriOrated head quarters building located within the city Of Sitka to the city
 The land in question was re- served as the headquarters of the agricultural investigations T q weather service of Alaska in 1898. and the property was transferreu to Sitka for noncommereial use Tn 1882. If the bill becomes law h will enable the city to acquire the property through purchase tor commercial use.

PARCEL POST RATES IN
 ALASKA TO BE ADJUSTED

WASHINGTON - Real and ear ly dividends for Alaskans seem as- sured by the recent establishment in the Territory of a regional office of the Bureau of Foreign ana Domestic Commerce in Juneau.
 M W. Goding of Skagway. head of the Alaska office. discovered pay dirt during the course Of a sur vey he made to assemble facts for presentation to the Post Office De- partment in connection with par eel post rates within the Territory.
 Ever since parcel post service was extended to Alaska, Sth-zone rates only have been applicable. Thus. it has cost as much per pound to send a parcel post pack age from Petersburg to WrangeIl or Anchorage to Palmer as it has tC send one from Key West. Florida to Nome Despite the unfairness of this policy nothing has been done.
 During the course of his re- search, Mir. Goding discovered an obscure point of law which leaves the Post Office Department no discretionary power in this situa. tion. This was called 10 the atten ton of appropriate officials in Washington by Mr. Goding. ana as @ consequence Joseph T. Flakne. Alaska Section. Division of Terri. tories and Islands Possessions. Jas.

 The House action means the Sen ate will not even vote on the is- sue of overriding the veto.
 IL means. too. that Republicans have an issue they already have made clear will figure prominent ly in the l94S Presidential can. paign.
 Before the vote. Speaker Martin had declared that if the Senate or House upheld the veto it would mean no new attempt this year tc reduce taxes.
 This is the last say on taxes this year" he said. Apparently the Democrats nave little interest in cutting expenditures and reduc- ing taxes.
 We may have to wait until Nc get a Republican President before We get tax reduction"

EDITORIAL
(From Tho Ketehikan Chronicle

(From The Ketehikan Chroniclel
 It Is time, the Chronicle believes. to pat the Alaska Development Board on the back for taking the Initiative in going after a new pa- per industry, at least one unit Cf which seems well assured for the Thomas Bay area.
 A little over year ago the Board sensed that the time was ripe to interest outside capital in producing neWsprint in Alaska. The nations newspapers were cry ing for more print but neither American nor Canadian mills were willing and ready to answer ne demand
 The Development Board and Manager Henry Clark decided that the existing paper industry wasn't going to go out of it's way to come to Alaska with mills because the existing shortage was bidding uo the pEice and these mills enjoyed a fine profit without putting out new capital against a somewhat risky future. So the Development Board took the bull by the horns and went after the newspaper pub I!shsrs who lacked print but had rlentY of money with which to build their own neBsprint mills.
 The success of the Southern plant in Alabama has been known for some time in newspaper row. That mill started merely to assure southern publishers of a steady supply even though 1t lost money has paid almost from the start. Re gently when its officers decided to double capacity. banks in Alabama and Texas quickly supplied finan- eisl backing at reasonable rates demonstrating that the paper in- dnstry had proved it's stability.

NO PERMISSION NEEDED
 TO GET FOOD FROM CANADA

WASHTNGON = It will l0 longer be necessary 10 appeal to Washington for authorization 10 obtain food for import into Alaska from Canada. ceording to a recens relaxation of a war food order or the Department of Agriculture.
 Heretofore import licenses were required from the Agriculture De partment and export licenses iron. che Canadian government to brlng commodities into the Territory. John O. Malott, administrator ol War Food Order 63, has informed Delegate Bartlett that the blanket authorization for imports Into Alaska does not eliminate the ua. cessity of obtaining Canadian ez- port licenses. The shippers in Alas ka should have their suppliers ,b- tain the necessary permits from Ottawa a few days in advance of the desired date for shipment.
 The favorable action has been taken by the Agriculture Depart ment in recognition of the deslr- ability of relaxing the war food order as far as Alaska Is concern ed. a relaxation of regulations long urged by Delegate Bartlett.

CTS of II western states who wore consulted. the same thing might work in Alaska.
 To make it work in Alaska would take cooperation of several Federal agencies, chief of which was the U. s. Forest Service. The Development Board brought en- gineers north last summer to sn- spect timber and water facilities then went to the U. s. Forest Ser vice to discuss terms of sale. Those terms at first were not satisfac- tory; they were couched in ab- stractions while the would-be ia- Yestors wanted concrete prices and terms. Through the intervention of Cap Krug. Secretary Of Interior these terms were made more req sonable and the time is near al hand for signing of the first large scale timber contract affecting the Tongass National Forest. One or two other mills probably will fol- low the first one near Petersburg Ketehikan stands to land one or two itself
 The Development Board not only went after capital, but it also la- eated a firm of engineers to bu Id and manage the plant. These en- gineers, We were told while in the east will retain an interest in the big newsprint mill. Their fee IT construction will be taken in stock in the enterprise.
 Alaskans must realize. however. that the aboriginal rights issue .s Istill important and if the Indian claims are allowed to delay con .struction for a year. these would be investors probably will go else where. The south has pine ana cheaper labor. Canada has timber. cheaper labor and there's no duty on newsprint exported to the [. S
 The Indian claims are beng rlade political fodder by Willia !. L. Paul, Jr.. of Juneau To our knowledge, no other official of the Alaska Native Brotherhood want to keep out the paper industry from Alaska. The Metlakatla town council is expected to wire the Senate Public Lands committee next week and urge that the pres ent House-Senate resolution he passed, so the industry can come north. Other leaders of the native peoples should do the same. Loss of the industry would be the h. dians' loss as we'll as the whites and Mir. Paul will have a lot of l explaining to do if he fiddles a. 1 long and chases a S100,000,000 in- dustry away from his native land merely because he thinks he can win some glory for himself by holding out for a bigger cut in ] timber sales revenues. The Indians must not listen to false leaders. The timber wouldn't do them any good if they owned it all and n0-
 body wanted to convert it into
 something useful.
 We think. too, that it is time to ray just respects to those noble legislators who thought the DevaI- Cpment Board should die. For a I fe-r thousand dollars in promotion, Alaska stands to attract an indus Il try that can produce 1,000,0nO tons of newsprint per year worth, at present prices, about $92.O00,- l 900. That Is more than all the fish, fur, gold and timber were worth
 that Alaska has produced in any single year in the past On the cornerstone of the first big paper
 mill should be graven the names of those men of little vision who

and his dreams of a better Alaska becloud their judgment and betray their constituents at home.
 To our mind, the Development Board has well justified it's exist ence. And it is working on many other things than pulp and paper.

Philadelphia. = George Bucher
who had been president and busi-
ness manager of Local 356 of the
CIO Hotel, Restaurant, Building
Service and Maintenance Workers,
has resigned to become an inter-
national vice president of the AF'L
Upholsterers' Union. :
The resignation came as a re-
suit of his criticism of what he de-
scribed as the "Red domination"
of the CIO United Furniture
Workers.
Bucher said he had asked CIO
President Philip Murray in June,
1916, to intervene in the furniture
unions affairs.
"Since that date, the CIO,
through its officers and agents,
has been waging a campaign of
castigation and villification against
me because | dared to expose the
un-American, totalitarian, Com
munistic forces in the CO."
Bucher said in his letter of resig
nation.

OPA Is Through;
Congress Directs
Agency Wind Up

The o. p. A. is through. Con-
gress has issued its death SEN
tence. The only question is
whether it will yield up the ghost
on April 30, or drag along, mere
shadow Of its former self, until
June 80. BY the latter date it will
be only a memory.
The House recently voted to de-
prive the agency of all funds, in
tending it should go out Of busi-
ness at once.
The Senate was more lenient,
providing funds for liquidation,
but compelling the agency to dis
pense with rs per cent of its per-
sonnel before April 30.
A conference committee settled
on a figure $3,000,000 less than the
Senate approved. Senator Styles
Bridges (Rep., N. H., said this
means 90. p. A. is out on June 80
or even sooner unless it drastically
cuts down."
Little Effect On Consumer
This doesn't mean a great deal
to the consumer. Any useful work
being done by o. P. A. is to be
transferred to regular government
agencies, according to Republican
leaders.
When the Senate debated the
0. P. A. appropriation it had be-
fore it letter from Major Gen
eral Philip B. Fleming, who has
been given the job of winding up
number Of war-born agencies,
including o. p. A.
Fleming usually knows what he
is talking about, and his words
command respect on Capitol Hill.
In his letter he did not ask con-
tinuation of 0. P. A., but he Wig
orously protested against the aban-
donment of controls over rent,
sugar and few other commodi
ties, and also over housing.
He warned that if housing con-
trolls are permitted to lapse it will
have a disastrous effect on the vet
erans' housing program by permit
ting the diversion of scarce ma
terials into non essential construc-
tion.

ILO To Study Pay Levels
In Various Countries

Geneva, Switzerland.-The gov
ernment body of the international
Labor Organization has decided to
begin a study of wages in various
countries with the purposes of pro-
tecting the rights Of labor and,
possibly, extending the principle
of guaranteed annual or monthly
wages.
The groups, composed of two
government representatives, one
labor representative and one en-
ployer representative from each
of the 81 countries in the organi-
zation, could not agree whether
the 194S conference should be held
at Montreal, Lake Success, n. Y,
or Geneva. The decision was post
poned until this years conference,
to be held in Geneva in June.

trary to my convictions; would
take no "orders from the Repub-

Senator Morse criticized labor
itself for failure to DO voluntari-

angry desire to punish labor for
