to" various charges made during the meeting-the furthest he would go-did not satisfy his callers. They wanted a definite assurance that Germany would not be allowed to expand industrially, at the expense of France and other victim na- tions, and would be required to meet in full her reparation obliga- tions under the Potsdam agree ment.
 Both Minnesota's Blatnik, who three times parachuted behind Ti- tos lines, together with Indiana s Madden and Sadowski pointed out that a great many citizens of Eur opean birth in their districts are very much aware of the dangers of German militarism and greatly disturbed that it is not being era dicated.
 They're not sure" Sadowski said at one point, that we really aim to carry out the Potsdam agreement"

But since nobody has seen up close there eye witnesses who affirm the mysterious missiles not missiles but aircraft of new and exotic shapes.
 Neither the Army the Navy will give any announcement to this latter notion insisting their experimental aircraft have been operating in the areas from which flying discs have been reported However an arplane nowadays can look like almost anything It no longer needs to have propellers. It does not necessarily have fuselage It may not nave two wings. And there missiles in these frlghten- ing times which look like fuseages but have no wings.
 Of these flying things may really be saucers But the throwing of chinaware, a we'll established practice among bad-mannered people almost always purposeful It is done with human or other target in view and customary in the hope that shatterng, crashing result will give the thrower some relief from nervous tension The saucer theory is definitely untenabe.
 Naturally, have our own theory We believe these flying discs are in fact San Francisco manhole covers thrown the skies by explosions accompany ing the San Francisco earthquake They were thrust beyond the gravatonal pull Of the earth, and wand cred for 4l years Then for too technical to explain in a short editorial they came back to the scene of their crime Their slvery appearance being less technical, be explained. They acquired silver plating from passing through so many clouds, all of which - as everybody knows have silver lining.
 It is our earnest hope that this simple scientific explanation will bring to end the extravagant and harmful speculation which has 50 upset the country.

Law of the Land
Washington Post)

The democratic process can operate only as long as the decisions reached through it are respected There have been or two expressions in Congress of fear that the Taft-Hartley Law may be sabotaged by those who resisted it's enactment-through labor union defiance from the outside through admin istrative fumbling from within the Government. We think such fears quite groundess So far as the Government is concerned they should be entirely set rest by the statements issued recently by President Truman and later by the members of the NLRB, the agency most intimately involved with effectuation of the new laws policy. The President pledged himself to 'see that this law is well and faithfully admin istered" and said that appointments under it would be made with the same objective" Yesterday, said the board members, the Taft-Hartey bill was pro- posed legislation. Today it is the Labor Management Relations Act the law of the land The peoples representatives have spoken, the debate is over so far as this board is concerned. Effective June "A, l947 this board will prepare to give the act the fairest and most efficient administration that lies within it's power.
 The character of the three present NLRB mem- bers makes the sincerity of this statement unques- tonable Senator Ives, of the leading proponents of the law is long time fellow worker with Paul Herzog, the Labor Board chairman in the field of labor relations AS Republican chairman of a New York Senate Investigating committee he conducted a study of the State Labor Relations Board then headed by MT. Herzog, Democrat. Speaking of MT. Herzog, Senator said the other day He is of the type who will do his utmost to to it that the law is carried out fairy" Here, well as in New York, MT Herzog has learned the tribute Labor and management alike can have full confidence that the NLRB under his leadership will apply the new law with the mpartialty indispensable to it's successful operation.

FOR A BIGGER FOURTH

We understand that meeting has been called for this evening discuss plans already for next years Fourth of July celebration in order that it will be ever better and bigger than this years, which was one of the best this city has seen.
 One of the plans under consideration is to put on next year the biggest fireworks display in the world or ten times the size of this years display whch wasn't small If work is started enough and local labor is donated it is possible we understand to accomplish this feat at a minimum of expense. This would indeed give the celebration something to attract people from all over Southeast Alaska and elsewhere to Juneau's celebration
 Fairbanks has it's Winter Carnival and Anchorage has it's Fur Rendezvous. There is no reason why Juneau shouldn't become known for having the best Fourth of July attraction in the Territory and this can be accomplished if it is made an al-year job

STRONG SUPPORT GIVEN pR0p0SAk,
 ALASKA AIRp0RTS

Receiving strong support rom high federal officials, Alaskans in Washington and Delegate Bart lett. the House Committee on In- terstate and Foreign Commerce Committee reported to the House the two airport bills for Alaska, authorizing construction of an air port at Fairbanks and an inter- national airport to be construct ed at Anchorage.
 The international airport for the Territory, estimated to cost $8,- C00,000, would be built and oper- ated by the CAA. The Fair banks airport is estimated to cost S5 900 00O and would be construct ed by CAA and transferred to the city without charge for operation and maintenance. This measure was amended in the House conn., mittee so that the word airport" would include the land and fac ilities thereon. The Territory and the city of Fairbanks are author ized in the amended bill to con- tribute funds to defray the cost of carrying out the provisions of the bill and authorizes the CAA Administrator to accept such funds on behalf of the federal govern ment.
 Among those persons appearing before the committee in behalf of the two pieces of legislation were: Mayor A. H. Nordale of Fairbanks; Robert B. Atwood, editor and pub fisher of the Anchorage Daily Times; Fred w. Axford, President of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce; Walter Plett, Region al Administrator for CAA in AL aska; General Carl Spaatz, Com- manding General of the Army Air Forces; Brig. General Joseph At kinson, Commanding General of the Alaska Air Command; Brig. General Dale V Gaffney, formerly serving in Alaska during the war and now with the Army Air Gorces; Delegatae Bartlett and a number of other government off cials.

Those Silvery Discs
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(Cincinnat EnQurerl
 It is fortunate no doubt, that the mysterious flying discs reported from the West Coast Arkansas and even locally did not make their appearance in wartime What we do not understand we tend to fear, or to interpret in the most disturbing way possible. Had these strange objects come hurtling through the skies shortly after the Japanese balloon raids can conceive of serious civil commotions resulting from the hystera of suspicious and gullible people.
 The objects variously described to size speed and shape Some call them saucers. Others estimate them to be of washtubs only not capacous

 Marshall finally admitted that the coal program is not working, and that correction is needed. Has tily he passed on to Sadowski's S question about the breakup of the German war potential. The war plants. he said are broken up eX- cept for chemical plants now need ed for fertilizer.
 General Marshall complained that de-Nazification is tough problem and calls for much per- sonnel.
 Were between the whirlpool and the rock" he said Germany must be rebuilt if we are ever to be able to bring our troops out of there and stop spending billions of dol lars. We know that the cost of maintaining Germany must fall to us-England and Russia can't and won't pay it. The big question is how far we should go in re- building Germany
 WHY HERBERT HOOVER
 Marshall was sparing in his com ments on individuals prominent in the German picture. European the ater commander General LuciuS Clay, he said is strictly General, not a politician. He has zone complex He's cut to do the very best job he can in administering the American zone. He has no pol itical viewpoint"
 Marshall replied also to com plaints that former President Hoov- CT and John Foster Dulles have too much to say about the policy in Germany He laughed when 8l- year-old Adolph Sabath sputtered that Hoover was dominating ouI policy in Germany.
 Judge Patterson Secretary of War urged that MT. Hoover be assigned to study the European situation" Marshall said. Tt was frankly political move based on the feeling that Hoover would car " great weight with the Republi- can Congress.
 MT. Hoover went over there mainly to work on the food prob lem, and while he was there he met on his own with German in- dustrialists and with representa- tives of American business who were in Germany. It was on the basis of those conversations that he brought back his recommenda- tions regarding the revival of Ger man industry"
 Marshall made little comment on Dewey's foreign affairs adviser Dulles, beyond reference to Dulles influence with the Repub- lican Congress
 MT. Hoover and MT. Dulles are not running the State Department

and will not as long as I am Sec 'retary," he said.
 Well, they are supplying infor- nation on which our policies are based" argued Chicago's Sabath. MT. Secretary, you are hearing only che side, the position of those who are anxious to rebuild na- tion that lost the first war with us, almost won the second and is now being helped to prepare for a third war"
 MarShall'S attention was further directed to the fact that the chief economic adviser to General Lucius Clay, German occupation com mander, is General William H Draper, Jr., formerly of Dillon Read and Company, the financial firm that "floated loan of $125,- 000,oC0 to Germany in 1926 in or der to set up the largest European steel combine, the Vereingte Stahl- werke"
 Another Dillon Reader who has played a strategic part in the in- dustrial rebuilding of Germany Marshall was reminded, is Paul H Nitze, deputy director of the State Departments international trade policy.

DULLES REPRESENTED FARBEN

-
 Sabath and his colleagues charg- cd that Dulles once represented the giant German cartel, l. G. Far ben, in the disposition of its pro- perty by the alien property GUS todian. If he, Herbert Hoover and the Dillon Read clique continue to exercise a dominating influence in German relations, they declared, we will again be faced with cartelS between U. s. and German indus tries similar to pre-war days.
 Fer General Draper, however, Marshall had nothing but praise.
 Draper while the war was on, wanted nothing so much as to command an infantry division, and finally I assigned him one in France. But Secretary Stimson and Judge Paterson Ghen Undersecre tary of Var and lots of other people insisted that they needed Draper and only Draper to work cn renegotiation o1 contracts, so finally I had to countermand the order and keep him here"
 Marshall said Draper did not want the job he now has but that he was serving because those were his orders.
 Marshall contended the inside re- ports his callers had heard on Ger many are not as serious as you have been led to believe but ven- tured no outright denials except on the Hoover Dulles charges and | the contention by Sabath that the rehabilitation of Germany as pro posed by Herbert Hoover, would mean rebuilding her into another war potential"
 No one representing the State ! Department wanted to see that ! happen again, said Marshall.

SOpOpTiNIsT CLUB HEARS VIEWS ON
 SERVICE IDEALS

Mrs. Mildred Hermann of the OPA was the speaker for yester- days luncheon meeting of the local Soroptimist Club which was held in the Bubble Room Terrace. Guests attending were Mrs. Betty Mccormick and Mrs. Lee Atkin- son.
 Mrs. Hermann told members that the Soroptimist Club, which is Ju- neaus most recently organized club. has great capacity for achievement and expansion but more members are needed who will take an active part in the organi- zation. She suggested that each member be given an opportunity to take part in planned program which will be adapted to individual talents.
 The speaker pointed out that, while the Soroptimist Club has ideals similar to other General Fed eraticn of Womens Clubs, it is or ganized through membership clas- sification and therefore capable of great accomplishment. She men, toned that the majority of mem- bers are women who, through indi- vidual talents or efforts, have at tained success in their chosen pro- fessicn or business. Mrs. Hermann's statements gave all members list ening a much better understanding of the Clubs opportunities for service to this community and the Territory as a whole.
