Congress Serves Notice on World
 Marshall Takes Over

WASHINGTON; Jan. - The dominantly Republican Congress put the world on notice today that American foreign policy has the same united backing in peace as it had ill war.
 The chorus of Senate unanimity with which Gen. George c. Mar shall won his sensationally swift confirmation as successor to Sec retary of State James F. Brynes demonstrated not only. Congression- al confidence in his ability, but also solidified bipartisan agree ment on the necessity for an un- broken foreign policy.
 The support for Marshalls bridg- ing party differences, apparently rested on twin bases: G) his rec ord during and since the war, and (2) the conviction that he not only will pursue the patient but firm policy of Brynes but will carry on his predecessors practice of work ing closely with Congress.
 This was reflected in growing legislative demand for Marshall to address a joint Congressional ses- sion before he leaves for the March 10 meeting of the Foreign Minist- CTS Council in Moscow and the task ot seeking Big Four agree ments on Germany and Austria.
 It raised, too, the Likelihood that Marshall will seek to have Sena- tors Vandenberg, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee, and Connally. it's ranking. Democratic member, at his side for that meeting.
 Both Vandenberg and Connally have indicated strong reluctance to abandon their Legislative chores for future international conferences but Marshall may prevail upon them to change their minds on the grounds that he will need their background.

DENVER, Jan. 9.-Coloradc gave each of it's old age pensioners a $$220.80 jackpot" payment today in addition to their $45 monthly pen sions.

HELP FOR 5H|ppING
 pR0p05ED
Recommendation Is 10 Be Made to Congress. De-
 llares Rep. Jackson
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Jan. G.-Govern- ment aid to steamship lines serving Alaska may be proposed to Congress as one way of solving the Terri tory's shipping problem.
 Rep. Jackson -Wash) said in a statement today he and Rep. Hert- CT CR-Mass) probably will include that recommendation in bill they expect to introduce soon.
 The two were members of a sub committee of the old House Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries com mittee which investigated the Alaskan Steamship situation last summer.
 Jackson said a committee of ex.- perts named by the committee to study technical problems of the Alaska service was expected to make it's report before long and that it's recommendation would be incor- porated in the bill. 2
 The lines will be returned to the private owners by the government in few weeks and the operators have insisted they cannot operate the service without an increase ii rates, which was denied Tuesday by the Maritime Commission For New Application The commission left the way open for new application when the private owners take over the lines after the end of February.
 Tt has been estimated that minimum outlay of s25,000 900 is required to rehabilitate the Alaska steamship lines Jackson said.
 None of the companies wish to enter into such expense without as- surance of substantially higher rates and higher steamship rates will hurt the economy of the Terri tory
 Government aid in replacing the cid ships seems to be the only rem edy for that situation.
 New ships will be required be- cause none of the surplus vessels the government is disposing of are constructed for the Alaska trade, which requires especially built steamships.
 Tt is evident from testimony our committee took that government assistance will have to be given to get the industry back into shape"
 Fish Trap Situation
 Jackson said he and Herter also would propose legislation tempor- arily to solve the fish trap situation in Alaskan waters. They studied the problem after the Interior De- partment had acceded to the de- mand of the operators it not put into effect last year it's plan for re- ducing the number of traps held by the large canneries.
 The proposal we have under consideration" Jackson said. lis to grant the cannery operators li- cense to fish traps for a certain period of time. This would let them know just how long they could have the right to operate the traps
 We also would propose a reduc- tion in the number of traps. Then we would ask Congress to work out a final plan for allocation of the trap sites in Territorial waters"

BORDER
BALONEY
(By MARTY LoUGHMAN)

Recently there were several letters
written to a local newspaper by
persons complaining about certain
noises as they called them.
It seems they didn't care for the
sweet ring of the church chimes or
the puff puff of the choo-choo
trains which only herald the news
that Nogales will receive a Christ
mas present in spring from the reve-
nue. of each puff puff.
Heck, it got so tough when that
guy was writing those letters about
noises that my missus became tenn
peramental one night when I was
snoring, and she kicked me in the
ribs and sez, eff you don't keep quiet
I'll tell that bird who writes those
letters to the paper about all the
noises, that you are making more
noises than he kicks about.
Heck, if the guy really wanted to
kick about some real irritating noise,
why in hell didn't he complain about
the juke boxes in my favorite re-
creation parlors Chats saloons to
you, BookaS)?
BY golly, it's got SO tough now that
when a guy goes into saloon and
asks for bottle of beer or a bourbon
highball they give you ''Mexicali
Rose" with it. I don't mean they
give you "Mexicali Rose in person
that would be okay-but they give
you a rendition of it, and then the
same guy croons, 'I'u Close My Eyes
to Everything" If the big bum
would close his mouth our beer
would taste better.
You know, a few weeks ago had
a birthday G.? years old and my
lovely missus had a swell meal but
