actions in Newburypor merely skirmishes rather than f-fledged battles Bascay, the price level for manufactured goods has been raised on the stits of high labor costs and high material prices which have reflected the imitation of money and credit and special areas of scarcity. The present drive is cerned with the symptoms of that imitation, high prices rather than with it's primary expansion
 in bank credit the extent that scarcites being modified prices can be reduced in any event.
 That many prices too high is recognized by all competent observers However these high prices cannot be corrected by action at any one level of production or distribution. Clearly most retailers cut prices unless their suppliers cut prices by similar amounts Their suppliers in turn, have no such margin which to operate and hence they must depend reductions in manufacturers prices
 Much publicity has been given to record levels of profits in many industries Less attention has been devoted to the fact that these high dollar profits reflect moderate proportions of sales According to the National City Bank l55 leading manufacturing com panies had profits equal to cent of sales in l946 this equivalent to about 10 per cent before taxes The ratios vary widely among industries. Clearly 10 per in prices would mean losses for many This is particularly true in light of the second round of wage increases recently set into motion
 These figures indicate that it will not be tCo easy to enforce across board reductions of 10 per cent unless companies cut their costs either through the elimination of unessentia operations cuts in material costs, improvements in productivity, re- organization of the productive and distribuve pro- cess These latter changes. except for material declines necessarily will take time Much depends, therefore upon what happens to the prices of indus trial raw materials and products the immediate future

Fla. have been doing swell job on veterans housing. They give homeless veterans free land on which to build. City Manager H. M. Salley reports that there was opposition from real-estate men at first, but this has died down. .In- side reason why Truman's message to Congress on health insurance
 was delayed was because the Presi-
 dent wanted to go even further than some of his Senatorial friends. At the last minute, he insisted on redrafting the message and making
 it even more healthy When
 British Ambassador Lord Inver- chapel calls on Secretary Marshall, he says he uses the back elevator. Reason: In the front hall, visiting diplomats are confronted with bristling bayonets and artillery in one of the most militariStic mural paintings in the Capital. .Ori- ginally the state Department build Ing was designed for the War De- partment. That's the reason. It is suggested, since Congress won't ap- propriate the money, someone take up a collection to replace the battle scene with more pastoral display.

COMMENT ON ALASKA

The present critical labor shortage in Alaska was cited as one of Alaskas difficulties during the recent Congressional hearing statehood. according to in Washington. D c.
 This statement is attributed to Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug, and the Times says that Alaskans testfyng at the hearing also spoke of the labor shortage.
 These statements substantiate the announcement made exclusively through Army Times by Chief of Alaska Branch Joe Fakne that there have never been more jobs available in Alaska than will be during the next six months the newspaper states
 The only trouble see is that the one source which should know than any other the status of employment in Alaska-the Territorial Elm ployment Service-is not quoted. This Territorial agency has taken strong exception to the numerous reports concerning practically unlimited employment possibilities in Alaska However, the propaganda tinues without check, and result Alaska will probably have some tough unemployment problems to face in the coming months.
 The same issue of the Times carries a picture of a veteran and his family, poseo :n front of the na- tonal capitol with his truck and trailer ready to take off Chilkoot Alaska in spite of the fact that the Haines cutoff won't be open until late in June, if then. Several veterans heading for the Hanes to find they can't reach Chikoot by road, and also to find that the project at Chilkoot isn't all what il is put up to be.
 Apparently there is no way to stop this damaging publicity Alaska

Crime Cure by Surgery
Cincinnati Ennuirer

Cincinnati Enquirer We hear much about the world of tomorrow in physics and mechanics. And we hope something that happened in Common Pleas Court before Judge Joseph H. Woeste gives clue to the world of tomorrow in the field of crimnology
 Fred Casper 22. Mt. Clemens, Mich, stood before the court and pleaded for mental operation to re- move his criminal tendencies I'm still young, Your Honor" he said 50 please help me be good citizen instead of hardened criminal" The youth said ne didn't want to be released probated because I'll only be back in more trouble" He said he knew there was something wrong with his mind, and he willing undergo prefrontal lobotomy though the percentage of in 2000 such operations has been only 30 per cent.
 Wisely, Judge Woeste appointed three aenists to examine Casper They alone competent to judge whether such cranal operation is indicated in the case of this youth However he has exhibited very decided criminal tendencies from boyhood and in his court appearance he pleaded guilty of armed robbery. He had been Indicted six counts of armed robbery, housebreaking and burglary
 | In many cases where department" of the mind is a persistent generator of strong and un- controlabe criminal tendencies Cor equivalent n- sanity the prefrontal lobotomy has wrought mental miracle The surgeon literally bores into the brain and the cable from the disordery depart ment of the mind It is frequently called the per sonality" operation because it leads to complete reorientation of the mind. Usually tried a last resource it has salvaged hundreds of otherwise hope lessy insane criminally disposed persons In the successful it has enabled the patients to comparatively normal life, without significantly low cred mental abilities.
 | AS say, it remains to be seen whether such an operation is indicated in the of the Casper youth But the incident at least suggests that in the years society won't always deal prmitively as we do with the confirmed criminal This is only the beginning. Some day, surely, courts won't merely prescribe punishment; they'll also prescribe | treatment for sick minds

not facing charges arising from the death of Pavlockus or Pvt. William Knight of Warsaw, N. Y, also starved and beaten to death. One charge against him is based on the slugging of Schulman in the mess hall and threatening him with the words: You are standing on the brink of death"
 Schulman states that before Little could do anything to carry out that threat, Maj. Robert w. Schott, then camp commander, intervened.
 Apparently Little incurred the hatred of almost every enlisted man and officer among the l,7OJ Ameri- cans, Australians, Dutch and Eng fish prisoners interned at Camp IT. One officer stated that he was among the last of the 1,700 liberat- ed prisoners of war to pass before the American examiners of war crimes, to whom statements were made regarding Japanese war guilt. The examiners remarked to him:
 You don [ need to tell us about Little. Every man before you has made a statement about him."
 One insight into the prisoners attitude toward Little is given by Donald D. Rutter, former U. s. Navy radioman of Lansing, Mich, who wrote this columnist as fol- lows:

Joe Dudley asked It. Little why he had turned Pavlockus over to the Japs and It. Little sa d if he had to do it over again he would 9
 Schulman states that t,lc men tried to thr-w food over the wall to Pavlock;s during his confine- ment, but tke Japs saw to it that this was stopped Maj Thomas Hewitt, New Albany, Ind, senior medical officer who examined the body. stated that Pavlockus' weight was reduced from about ITO to 55 poun,s. Schulman stated that Paw lockus was so thin that, being a tall man and too long for Japanese coffin, his body was folded in half and placed n the coffin.
 According to Schulman, Pavlock- us, although unruiy, had heart of gold and if he had extra food would share it with other men"
 Schulman said PavlockuS had a previous row with Little for which he was turned over to the Japs The latter said that if they caught him again they would kill him.
 Other '. $. officers and men at Camp IT, while admitting the diff culty of maintaining discipline, re- sented the fact that Little appeared well fed while they were on the brink of starvation, and that Little was held in such high esteem by the Japs. They could not under stand his giving commands to Am erican prisoners in the Japanese language, playing checkers with Japanese officers and sitting dowr with them at special Jap dinner in his honor at Christmas time.
