NORTHERN COAST TO

 RADAR DEFENSES

WASHINGTON - The Air Force is projecting a bristling network of defenses in strategically critical Alaska, an integrated system in cluding such Installations as radar warning stations, underground command posts and fighter fields.
 An official summary issued this week by the Air Force high com mand lifted a corner of the cur tain on USAF activities on the Arctic frontier during the last year. a.,msa.
 Twelve months of flights by All aska-based squadrons making aer- ial studies, weather flights and conducting training operations, said the statement, have proved that USAF units can fly anywhere in the polar regions during any season of the year"

 The squadron was sent to Alas ka in June. .1946, to observe and photomap the Alaska area for the strategic location of defense com ponents"
 These components, the statement said, included an interdependent system of early warning sites (radar), fighter bases and under ground fighter control centers with necessary facilities for cold lweather testing of heavy lombard ment units
 The Air Force statement did lot say how far these defense pro- jects had been advanced, but Army Engineers and the Air Force have been authorized so far, to spend more than $75,O00,0O0 in Alaska. In addition to announced construc- ton programs for Ladd Field and Mile 26 have been unconfirmed but undenied reports of new bases be- ing built on the Arctic ocean rim of Alaska and Canada
 The USAF reported that valuable geographical navigational weather discoveries had been made during the Arctic operations, in- cluding the fact that there are three magnetic north poles h. stead of one.
 The poles are located in an elipti- cally shaped area with the major pole on Prince of Wales Island in- stead of the long-reported position at the lower tip of Bothia Peniu- sula. There are local poles on Bathurst Island and Bothia Penin- sula, the statement said.
 Man Air Units
 The pioneering 46th reconnais- sance squadron, which has flown more than 5000 hours and 1,OO0.- coo miles since it's arrivel in the theater, has been followed by Otn- CT units including the 57th Fight CT Group, the 54th Troop Carrier Squadron, the 415th Night Fighter Squadron and the 10th Rescue Squadron.

WESTFALL SALUTED
FOR ASSISTANCE AT
DERBY SITE SUNDAY

A special salute to Jack West
fall, Captain of the Monterey, was
given today by Milo Clouse, chair
man of the Juneau Salmon Derby
Committee. Clouse commended
Westfall for his unselfishneSs and
cooperation in aiding the success
of the Derby, He said that West
fall refused a lucrative charter
voyage for his vessel in order that
he could accommodate fishermen
on the boat who could not secure
other means of participation in
the Derby.
Westfall also rendered other
material aid, Clouse said. He de-
layed his return to Juneau after
the Derby in order to pick up or
rescue occupants of many small
boats who were endangered by the
high WINDS in the fishing area
This was done, the Committee
Chairman declared, despite the
fact that paying charter was
waiting for him at Juneau. The
charter party was delayed several
hours by Westfall's good Samari-
tan action.

Puerto Rican Progress
New York Times

With the signing by President Truman of the
Butler Crawford bill that amends the Organic Act
governing Puerto Rico to allow the Puerto Ricans
to elect their own Governor, principal Caribbean
possession has progressed farther along the road TO
the sef-government that promised in 1898 than
any other off-shore Territory Of the United States
including Hawaii The Governor of Hawaii still is APP
pointed by the President.
At time when colonialism is under attack every
where it is encouraging to the United States
making steady progress toward the granting of full
self-government to all our outer possessions. bill
granting statehood to Hawaii already has passed the
House and should pass the Senate at the coming ses-
sion. If statehood for Hawaii becomes fact it is
likely similar action Alaska will follow organic
Acts have been drafted for Guam and Samoa and
should be acted also at the next session of Con-
gress.
The next STEP so far as Puerto Rico is concerned
for Congress to offer the Puerto Rcans their choice
of several forms of government and then order
pebscte to let the Puerto Rcans themselves say by
democratic means which type they prefer. plebi-
scte without Congressional guarantee that whatever
choice is made will be granted would be only an
academic exercise.
In the meantime, however, the economic condition
of the Puerto Rcans poses problem for the United
States that should be solved Relatively the Puerto
Ricans better off than some of their Caribbean
neghbors But living standards there still below
those of the poorest mainland States And that should
not be good enough for the United States Government
What is needed everyone is agreed is Investigation
of the economy and establishment of industry to alb
sorb the surplus population. The land now is in
habted almost to the saturation point, with only
of poor soil to maintain each of the islands
100000 persons. Private capital has shown little in
cnation to take the initiative. Perhaps the Puerto
Ricans themselves map out some long-rang plan
If they do it should receive earnest attention and
action by the United States Government. Puerto
Rico too, is part of the world and especial
responsibility. Conditions should not be allowed to
drift from bad to worse they have been drifting
for several years.

Business as Usual
Cincinnati Enquirer

Any fair appraisal of the position OF labor since
the Taft-Hartley Act became law shows that the
leaders who screamed the loudest against the slave
bill" doing business very much usual If they
have become ensaved, there is little evidence of it.
If the power of unions has been broken there no
signs
Commenting the matter in the New York Post
Victor Riesel reports that he has checked every
big union in the country and finds the leaders of
all of them operating usual, and battling with one
another usual Save for Shake-up in the press
section of the CO. he found disposition to learn
lesson from the Taft-Hartey Act inclination
to tackle any such problem the characterization
of union structures.
Neither is there any sign of willingness to settle
the AFLCIO cleavage, despite the obvious fact that
this split is handicapping all elements of labor in
their effort to use the power of numbers in politics
this year and next.
In short, it appears that major labor leaders
have made up their minds quietly, that the Taft
Hartley Act is not going to cramp their style very
much. And it also appears they not sharing this
information with the rank and file of dues paying
members, who will have to find out the hard way
that democracy in labor unions something Congress
cannot impose. They will have to achieve it Them
selves. And that will not be easy

DEVELOPMENT BOARD DUTIES

recent editorial in the Fairbanks News-Mner
takes issue with statement made in Juneau by George
Sundborg, ex-manager of the Alaska Development
Board and now S2400 per year "consutant for that
agency
Sundborg stated here that the speeches he made
in Anchorage and Fairbanks attacking voting records
of some menbes of the Territorial Legislature were
not political He claimed that this was part of his
duties for the Development Board.
Saws the News-Miner: ANY reliable dictionary
could be quoted as quarrelng with Sundborg these
interpretations.
1T is far-fetched to declare that Sundborgs at
tacks upon certain members of the Legislature be
construed steps for the development and advance
ment of the Territory within the intent of the Leg
islaure in setting up the Alaska Development Board
1T takes no legal background to interpret the
Development Board agency intended to promote
business for the Territory and its people, but any
attempt to assume that the Board also empowered
to handpick the peoples legislative representatives is
beyond the limit
The depths to which this government agency has
been dragged in recent months should be lesson to
fu~ire legislatures. Under the expert direction of
former manager Henry Clark whose administration
was honest straightforward and political the AL

But lacking the proper management, the agency
can become what it has become, and what the
Legislature intended it should bea lush expense

operation of democratic government and something
which this newspaper cannot approve and condemns

UNPRECEDENTED AGENCY

This is story about a remark
able Government lending agency.
Instead of losing money, it has
made a great deal of it. SOS, O0O,-
900 to be exact.
The phenomenon is the Federal
Farm Mortgage Corp, created in
1884 by the New Deal when Henry
Wallace was Secretary of Agricul-
ture. Further, the man chiefly re-
srons.bie for the success of FFMC
is a professor. He is Dr. William
I. Myers, dean of Cornell Univer-
sitys Agricultural School, and the
first head of the agency.
The FFMC bill was introduced
in Congress as an emergency mea-
sure to bolster the depression
racked farm economy 1t frankly
admitted the Corporation probably
would lose a great deal of money.
But it was held the measure was
necessary to salt the flood of fore
closures and bankruptcies then en-
quilting farmers.
To raise the Corporations CAPT.
tai, Dr. Myers embarked on a bold
gamble. He bought hunders of
millions of dollars worth of 4 per-
cent interest Federal Land Bank
bonds with Government-guara
tced 3 and 81 percent FFMC
bonds. The profit in the interest
was designed to offset the risk in
volved in lending to mortgage
loaded farmers.
In the Is years of its opera
tons, FFMC has loaned total of
81 ,200,000,003 The severe drought
year of 1886 was the peak, with
1897 100000 in outstanding loans.
The war saved the Corporation.
More than 250,00O farmers paid
off their mortgages in full. In the
past six years, FF'MC has collected
$5o0000,000 in repayments.

other lesser ones, want Green's
job. Power hungry Lewis is par.
ticularly hot after it.
He made strenuous efforts to gel
it a quarter OF century ago at
ter the death of Samuel Gompers
But other ambitious aspirants
scuttled Lewis, who in turn block
ed them from snatching the prize
That was how Green got it. He
was a relatively unimportant Off
Ger in Lewis miners union, and
was accepted as compromise
choice.
At the time, the squat bling AFL
chiefs figured Green would hold
the presidency only for a year OF
so until they could get together
among themselves. But that was
the high hitch. They never coulI
get together, and rather than al
low one of their number to get
the office they continued to re-
elect Green.
After "a years, the same s:tua-
ton still largely prevails. While
nominally pals, none is eager to see
one of the others in the top job
That is particularly true as re-
CARDS Lewis, whose autocratic pro-
clivities are we'll known to them
The other factor influencing the
continuance of Green is the Taft
Hartley act. The AFL is planning
an about election fight next veal

this Law. Unity within the AFT
is vital. A free-for-all over the

able upset by Lewis.
If he is planning any apple
cart booting he will probably dc
it at the executive council meet
ing September in Chicago. Fina,
convention arrangements will be
decided there. Also Green intends
to announce he will run again.
No upset is expected in innel
AFL circles. But Lewis is law

around anything can happen.
