Dedicated to Mr.. Ickes

Dedicated to MIR. lckes
To the Editor OF The Star:
I disagree with your correspondents who
have suggested the elimination Of the inter-
esting column written by Harold Ickes
After all, here is man who has elevated
hate into a profession, and is probably its
most eminent practitioner. His economy of
words is remarkable. For example, I quote
from a recent column
"As bearer of tragic news, have been try
ing to prepare the mourners for tragic event.
It appears that Mr.. Allen did not voluntarily
vacate his coign of vantage at the ear Of
President Truman He may have left the
White House with jaunty air, but the fact
is that he was ushered to the exit. His final
joke, so far as the laughter loving President
was concerned, was grim one indeed"
Observe, that by deleting the name Allen,
and substituting another five-letter name, this
paragraph could be used in an autobiography.

Arlington School Board Campaign

fAIil1lStOH SCnOOt DOdrQ campaign
TO the Editor of rhe Star:
1t seems to me that it is time some one ex-
posed the consequences of following the ad-
vice that Mrs. Lucy Bussey is giving out about
voting in the Arlington School Board election
She wants us to vote for one or two nominat-
ing convention nominees, one or two Greater
Arlington Association candidates, and one OF
the independent candidates. This is really very
disingenuous advice
What is likely to happen If people vote this
way? This Is how 1t looks to me: There are
four members OF the present school board
running for election-Mr Smith and Mr. Belts
(who have the dubious advantage of GAA
backing) and Mrs. Bussey and Mr.. Stewart
(who adopted the label of independents when
the GAA failed to endorse them). If we split
up our votes the way Mrs. Bussey tells us, we
will be almost sure to return three of these
present board members to Office.
This working majority of present members
would then be able to Illustrate for the next
two years every effort of the other two men,
bers, whoever they might be, to introduce
significant school improvements. Arlingtons
teachers would have to sweat out another two
years OF excessive pupil load, overcrowded
schoolrooms, outdated textbooks, kickback sick
leave system" and tenure uncertainty.
However high our regard for Mrs Bussey
as friend and however plausible her advice
may seem, we must not forget what this
school board election campaign is all about.
She and each of the other present school
board members are disqualified by their own
records Of failure to provide an adequate school
system for Arlington. If we are to have i'm
proved public schools none OF the present
school board members should be returned to
office. CLAIRE MILLER,

neau into debt?
 Al can give no more than Just the facts. The City can buy the utility on credit, and make a pro- fit of $100.000 a year.
 At this point Ernie Parsons in- teriected the comment that a re- venue bond issue does not saddle the voters. The AEL&P pays more taxes now than would be paid by the utility under public ownership and stays in business successfully Parsons said.
 Ketchikan had been discussed by Stuart as a parallel to the Juneau situation, and Stuart was asked After 12 years of municipal owner ship, why does Ketchikan still have a debt of S750000 in unredeemed bonds, if the total profit since the purchase in 1885 has been $991,- 900?
 Stuart said that the bonds are not payable yet. In the time since the purchase of the utility, the system has been greatly improved ketchikan las reac.lel. the highest

KIWANIS TALK
 OVER UTILITIES
 WITH W. STUART

Juneau Kiwanis Club today fol- lowed the lead o1 three other local service clubs in appointing a re- presentative to a committee whose aim is to bring before the voters of Juneau facts in the Public Util- ities referendum vcte to be taken cn April :,
 Henry Lee2e was appointed as representative to the findings com mittee after the motion had been passed unanimously.
 Ernie Parsons, visitor from Rotary, was introduced to the group. Parsons made a brief state mcnt of the present lack of in1or- nation relative to the whole ques- ton of public ownership of utili- ties, charging false and misleading figures have been published.
 Then he introduced Walter Stu art, electrical engineer, now of Sit ka
 stuart spoke briefly, outlining his views on the power situation in Juneau, and the situation as it might develop if the city were to take over the AEL&P as a public utility Then he opened the meet ing to questions, some of which, with the answers, follow
 Q.-What would be the approxi- mate savings if Juneau were to purchase the Light Company?

 Asked if the rates should be rais-' ed under municipal ownership in Juneau, Stuart repeated his state ment that that was a question up to the City. His private opinion is that they should. The Ketchikan rates have dropped to an average sale price of IT cents per kilowatt hour. Double the amount of elec-- tricity is used in Ketchikan, as is used in Juneau. The retail rate there, however, is almost as low as the wholesale rate which is paved by the AEL&P in Juneau for cur rent purchased from the Alaska Juneau Mine.

THE Power of the Resource

an simplifying system. The music
was also excellent. At 1890 the

and visitors enjoyed the Easter
exercises and the play. THE

There was a time when it was
commonly denied that democ-
-acy could be defined or that
1eople generally could know
and agree about its basic prin-
ciples. That denial has caused
lot of confusion and, to no
small degree, has been respons-
ible for the spread of un-Amer-
lean and undemocratic ideas
among us. For, If we do not
know what democracy is, how
can we distinguish it from
communism and fascism?
But the time of confusion is
passing and Americans are now
speaking with conviction about
our way of life
Addressing the Congress of
the United States the other day..
President Truman drew sharp
distinction between democratic
and totalitarian societies. Ma
iority rule, free institutions,
representative government, free
elections, guarantees Of indi-
vidual liberty, freedom Of
speech and religion, freedom
from political oppression, these,
he affirmed, are characteristic
of democracy. We must agree
on that. There is hope for all
in a system based on such prin-
ciples.
Minority rule forcibly inn
posed upon the majority, OPP
precision, controlled press and
radio, fixed elections, suppress
sion of individual liberty -
these, the President declared,
are characteristic of totalitar-
ianism Of both the right and
the left, We must all recognize
that. There is no hope for any
body in a system resting on
such principles.
Two days later III Moscow
Secretary Of State Marshall re-
turned to this theme. Amerl-
cans, he said, believe that "all
human beings have certain in
alienable rights, which NAV not

does he, like Henry Moore, for
xample, remain unduly obedient
to the material under his chisel,
He is a modern classicist who
fashions his interpretations,
such as "Supplication" and THE
Dreamer" and Serena" without
even the use of a living model
to grasp and record fleeing
emotions revealed muscularly.
1t is not hard to understand
why Mr.. Barthe is in such great
demand for occasional works.
His plaques in the Kingsboro
Housing Project in Brooklyn also
help to remind our epoch that
sculpture is the most public of
the fine arts, displayed by con-
ception and intention for COM
munity appreciation and enjoy
