ALASKA AND THE VETERANS

The idea seems to be growing mere strongly every day that Alaska is the the land of promise ihe land of golden opportunity for the veteran Al least this is the idea that seems be going strong OuSioe
 The veterans in the States being told that opportunities for employment in the NoTthano are unlimited A large scale migration 10 Alaska can oe exnected this summer without doubt. And it's gong to be a mess because the jobs just won't De here
 We have just been looking over another propoSi- ton for veterans concerning Alaska-the Veterans Alaska Cooperative Company" better known as VACCo This is the outfit that has purchased the Chikoot Barracks and plans to build city there Entlcing illustrated folders are being distributed to veterans throughout the States, audng the merits of Chilkoo Barracks and VACCO Veterans can take part ln this plan by smelling out sl00. This entities them to privileges in the company for cooperative buying and selling low living and low rate transportation plus the chance of promising future In our opinon that word chance" should be stressed more in the whole proposition.
 The slGO doesn't guarantee that the veteran will be established at Chkoot necessarily, but at other communities" which will be available later on"
 Families to be included in the initial development must have s2oOo cash. large group is supposed to arrive this spring.
 One of the come-cn folders carries picture of Mendenhan Glacier and Aux Lake, apparently as a typical Alaska picture of the railroad yards at Anchorage carries the caption logging and timper --cne Of Alaskas major industries"
 Another folder says: Veterans will be able to draw unemployment compensation for one year from the Veterans Administration if they do not have an income from their trade" This statement is very misleading but has the effect of practically guar anteeing subsistence for the veteran for year After all what can he lose but his Sl00?

MARINES LEAVE AMMUNITION 10
 CHINESE NAILS.

TIENTSIN, May 3. - The ore meditated and unprovoked attack" on the Hsinho ammunition plant by Chinese Communists prompted the United States to turn over the dump to the Nationalist Govern ment April 21, Maj Gen. Samuel Howa,>,. Commander of Marines in China said today.
 Howard said in an interview that the greater part" of the ammuni- tion had already been removed by the Marines for their own use be- fore the dump was transferred to the Nationalist Commander in the area representing Gen. Sun Lien chung. It included a comparative Iy small amount of serviceable am munition.'
 The American officer described the Marine ection-ordered by the Navy Department after the death of five Marines and the wounding of 16 others in defense of the huge plant April 5-as more of walk ing away from the spot" than a formal transfer.

ADA and the Commies
lWashington Post ]

True to the promise and purpose of it's sponsors, the new organization of liberals Americans for Demo- cratic Action. has adopted constitution which con- denns communism form of totalitarianism and provides that only those whose devotion to the prin cipes of political freedom is unqualified will be eli gible to membership. There is doubt that the present leaders are both sincere and determined on this point for many of them veterans who have discovered by unhappy experience how very long spoon needed in suppng with the devil in the interest of progress social justice The interesting thing will observe how the Americans for Democratic Action will go about enforcing this clause of their consttu tion It may may not afford some valuable lessons in connection with the problem of how to keep the comrades out of the Government without making the Civil Service distaseful unbearabe to anybody of vigorous mind intellectual self-support.
 The problem is indeed complex. At the moment the most vocerous professions of unqualified devo tion the principles of political freedom are coming from the Communists themselves witness their paid advertisement some weeks ago. man who is hunting for Government job is not very likely to advertise the fact of his Communist sympathies affiliations, and fancy, there would be similar reticence on
 the part of any comrades fellow travellers who might attempt irfiltrate into the ADA. That some of them will make the attempt to us not altogether un likely since under present circumstances no front organization" could be useful than che which has gone so far to avoid becoming one.

Air Transport Outlook

 The domestic airlines have been caught between the nillsones of rising costs and commitments for more modern equipment At the time, ground installations are still wholly inadequate fer the demand for their services The airlines taking q realistic point of the face of drastic reversal from q condition in which seats almost unob- tainable to one which, up few weeks ago. found big planes flying with load factors of 25 per cent or less They seek measures through the Govern ment. and especially the Civil Aelonautics Board, which they believe will lead to sound structure for the future.
 One of these measures is increase in air fares of 10 per cent, recently approved by the Board All agreed that reduction in fares rather than increase the desirable goal The point out, however fare is 37 cents mile So greatly have the costs of labor and equipment increased that the lines estimate their break-eyen point be reach only with a continuous load factor of 75 to 85 per cent The air lines further advocate a temporary increase in airma pay This pay has ceased be subsidy; profit of more than slo000o00 earned by armail by the Posoffice Department last year An increase of rates here would provide profit on airnla and might well mean the actual salvation of of the smaller arlires These smaller lines also hopeful that the new outlook of the Civil Aeronautics Board may lead applications from which the smaller lines the great sufferers

COL. PERON'S FAMILY ROW

AS if he didn't have troubles enough already President Juan D. Peron of Argentina is currently up to his neck in a behind the scenes squabble insioe his own political family
 For some time, various influential Argentines in and out of the gov ernment, all of whom back Peron for the Presidency, have been con- blaming hitterly They have been especially irked over the activities of Sonora Eva Duarte de Peron, the dictator's handsome blonde wine, and his chief economic ad- wiser, Miguel Miranda.
 Miranda has amassed large per sonal fortune since 1945, while Sonora de Peron's open interven- ton in the affairs of the Labor Ministry, which she now to all practical purposes directs, has rub bed prideful Argentine males the wrong way. Moreover, they suspect her of adding insult to injury by running for public office, probably the Senate, next year.
 All this inside family friction reached a climax on April 4 when Peron called Cabinet meeting and offered his resignation This was strictly strategic gesture, 1 offered to remind his sulking CO., horts what would happen if he stepped out. Not even Peron's worst enemy would rather see the govern ment in the hands of Vice Presi- dent Hortensio Quijano, an aged and inept politician chosen at the last moment to round out the Per cnist ticket when several other po- tential candidates had refused
 The Cabinet, therefore, snapped back into line hastily, rejecting their chiefs resignation with hor- rilied exclamations and offering him a unanimous vote of confi- dence. For the time being, matters are smoothed over But nothing has been solved, and the sore points remain. Potentially, the most serious aspect of this small disaf- lection was the number of young

WEEKENDING DEMOCRATS

To meet the western revolt, Re- publican leaders cleverly devised an appeasement program To pacify COP congressman Stockman of Oregon they slipped $2,000000 extra into the Columbia Valley appro- priation. To appease three Colorado Republicans Hill Rockwell and Chenoweth) they eased $2,000 900 into the appropriation for the Col orado-Big Thompson project. To win over Barrett of Wyoming, they gave him Sl75,000 for the Glendo Reservoir in Wyoming.
 And partly to take care of the two Republican Congressmen from Idaho. though more because Sena- tor Dworshak of Idaho used to be a member Of the House Appropria- tions Committee, they upped the ante for the Anderson ranch pro- feet in Idaho With the help of this back-scratching, the otherwise dras- tically cut InteriCr Department

 On the face of it, the plan looks fine to someone who knows nothing about business opportunities and conditions in Southeast AaSla and Chlkoot Barracks But We fear it is just the first of good many craokpo schemes for Alaska which will end in failure for all concerned

gentleman from San Francisco, they'll wake up staggering when they realize they have thrown away the west-and they can't win the nation without winning the west.
 Representative William Hill of Colorado wanted his colleagues to put up a fight on every provision of the bill by offering amendments providing funds for each important western project. Hill is particular ly incensed because the Colorado river Big Thompson project IS cut by two-thirds- This project would reclaim large arid regions in east ern Coloraoo by bringing water from the western part of the state through a long tunnel to be cut through the Rockies.
 California's Bud Gearhart differ cd with Hill, insisted that smartest strategy was to let the bill slip by the house, then concentrate on winning votes in the Senate to re- store needed funds.
 Tempers ran high when compla- cent Representative Carl Curtis of Nebraska remarked that he was satisfied with the bill It gave his area good tres tment of funds for Missouri Valley work he said. Reps Wesley D'Ewart of Montana and Frank Barrett of Wyoming seemed to share Curtis complacency, but they were very much in a minority

MIzE MADE TOUR OF COUNTRY ON
 LONG VACATION
F ormer WeI|known Ju- neau Young Man Now
 Here on Honeymoon

A tale of a year-long vacation spent rowing over the 48 states and parts of Canada in a '33 Ford equipped with sleeping bag and camping outfit, is told by Edward Mize, former Juneau young man who is visiting here at the home of his brother Ralph
 He speaks with a reminiscent look of affection in his eyes of the faithful old '33 Ford which carried him over 30,0oo miles with no trouble except for minor tire troubles.
 Mize took his vacation after re- signing from the Shell Development Company in San Francisco, where he had been employed for nine years in the research department with Clarence Dunn, another Ju- neau boy.
 He told of seeing Mrs. G. c. Ricke (Jeanne VanderLeesD in De- troit, and John and Tom Stewart in New England during his wander ings, and of visiting nearly all the National Parks in the country.
 Returning to San Francisco, he soon started on second one, this time a honeymoon tour from Mex leo to Alaska In February, he mar ried Miss Joan Rowing, of Roches- ter, Minn., where her father, Dr. H. F. Rowing. is on the staff of the Mayo Clinic. Prior to her marriage, his bride was employed at the Shell Development plant, where he had been employed
 MT. and Mrs. Mize plan to spend the most of the summer in Juneau, the longest time he has spent in the old home town since he went south l3 years ago In that time, he says he has made only three weekend trips here, and they were all much too brief
 They are planning to return to California by way of Lake Louise in Canada, and to stop for a visit with his brother, Bob, at Kellogg. Idaho. Mize will return to petro- leum chemistry in California, he stated.
