Have you given thought to

liberal VS. conservative, or by what
name you wish to call the two
divisions? Do you know who will
burn first in the us. - especial

negroes, that is? i. don't have to
tell you Pm not being an
alarmist, dammit. I'm just add
ing up two and two and getting
a very nasty looking four. It's
one of the reasons I'm going to
school now studying Russian,
brushing up on my French and
German and trying to absorb a
smattering of Chinese. And keep

piled with ammunition. You're
probably thinking = fantastic

right, but 1 have a very chilly,
a very grim feeling about the
way things look right now. May
be it won't happen. hope to God
not. Anyway, I've been appointed

Perhaps you've heard of them.
They're merger of most of the
important world government

organizations in Western Europe.
The purpose of UWF is to obtain
powers for the present United

be adequate to control nations
within it's framework and make
war impossible. Thus, in effect, the
whole world will be bound into
a single unit eventually.

When Elinor and I were in
London we devoted considerable
time to relief work. I wish you
could have seen Elinor writing and
visiting the various relief organ

families) from Germany. They
were in concentration camps with
death ahead. We finally Through
papers and affidavits from my
Uncle Sam Mendelson in Talla-

Only one. But at least, it was one
life saved.We finally, met the boy
in London many weeks after. He
was just an ordinary Jewish kid
put he represented an awful lot
OF work on Elinor's part. These
Jewish families in Germany would
PICK names out of the London
telephone directory and write to
them, pleading for aid. That's how
we got started. We were very
much handicapped not being
British citizens, but went at it

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
FAULKNER AND LEWIS
 SAY ALASKA NOT
 READY FOR STATEHOOD

WASHINGTON - Action of the Alaska Legislature in appropriat- ing $1O,974,00O and enacting rev enue lays to produce $3,736,000 less was criticized this week at a hearing on a bill to grant the Ter ritory statehood.
 Two witnesses, H. L. Faulkner, Juneau attorney and a registered lobbyist for fishery and mining ln- terests before the Legislature, and Richard F. Lewis, of Piedmont, California, owner of the Juneau water system, opposed statehood in testimony before a House Pubic Lands subcommittee.
 Rep Engle (D-Calif.) termed the action appropriation of a de- ficit," adding "it does not appear to me there is a responsible legis- lature in Alaska. can't imagine a legislature passing such a budget and sending it for all people to see."
 Says Territory Not Ready
 Faulkner said the same Iegisla- ture would operate under state hood. He opposes statehood, he ad- ded, because he does not believe the Territory is ready for it.
 He expressed the opinion, how ever, that later the Territory should be made a state, and agreed that the majority of Alaskan vot- CTS want statehood
 Faulkner said he was not repre- senting the fisheries and mining interests at the hearing being coll ducted by the Committee on Legis- lation to grant Alaska statehood but is representing himself.
 Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska) read into the record a report which said Alaska goods and services

Under questioning by members of the Committee, Faulkner said only about 5O,OO0 taxpayers would have to bear the burden of in- creased statehood costs.
 Lewis, who said he has offices in San Francisco, declared Alaska s annual resources amount to about S65, ,5OO,OO0 and that the addition al costs of state government would amount to approximately $11,OO0.- GOO a year.
 He said that if Congress liberal. izes the land acquisition policies and those governing the cutting of timber and lets Alaskans elect their own government "the urge for statehood will be greatly re- duced."
 Both Faulkner and Lewis Wara- ed Congress should go slow in act ing legislation to permit veterans to settle in Alaska. the former say ing it might prevent establish ment of large paper mills in the Territory if the forest tracts were "earVed up" to give part of them to veterans.
 Lewis said his net income from the Juneau waterworks is about $35,000 a year and that he paid taxes amounting to $4OO there.

not later than 90 days after the end of the calendar year during which the tax was paid.

Retail Volume Holds

Above Year Ago

NEW YORK, Sept. 26. - Retail
sales in the week ended Wednesday
were slightly higher than in the
preceding week and 3 to per cent
ahead of year ago, Dun g. Brad
street reported today.
Discrimination against high
priced goods increased; resistance
was sporadic but generally strong
enough to halt the spiral in some
lines" the business research firm
said. Buying Of luxury items de-
creased"
A large proportion OF consumer
income continued to be spent on
foods, and grocery volume increased
substantially. Poultry, cheese and
inexpensive canned meats were in
heavy demand while butter, eggs
and fresh meats decreased in popu-
larity. There was considerable in
terest in candy and baker products.
Beers and ales continued to be pre-
ferred to high-priced liquors.
Consumers showed more interest
in fall and winter clothing, and
back-to-school items continued to
attract attention. Women's fall
suits, dresses, shoes, hosiery and
lingerie were readily bought. Fur
trimmed and hooded coats were
popular,
