HELP AVAILABLE,
DECLARES STATES
ATTORNEY HALL

In connection with the re-
cent disclosure that an unwed
woman in Waukegan deliver
ed herself of child alone and
without medical assistance,
States Attorney Harry A. Hall
made the following statement:
"This is the second recent
instance of mother who was
not aware of the fact that
many medical and social SER
vices are available to her. Ira
gedies such as this are COM
pletely unnecessary and cast
a reflection on the adequacy
of the community's social SER
vices. | urge every prospective
mother who needs assistance
of any sort to come into the
States Attorneys office. We
will help her make some kind
of plan and refer her to the
appropriate agencies SO that
no mother will be forced
through ignorance or poverty
to deliver her own child alone
and unattended.
eve will keep all such in
formation confidential and we
would much rather prevent
such tragedies than prosecute
parties afterWard."

TAX PAYERS FEELINGS

Taxpayers are getting rap
idly ripe for revolt. Believing
in orderly processes, they will
not resort to arms, but they are
going to assert themselves at
the ballot box. This dizzy, in
satiate appetite for pouring
other peoples money down
hopeless drains is the short
route to ruin. That is the road
this country is on" - Illinois

PerOn's Justice
Washington Post)

Gone are the pretensions of Argentine Dictator Peron to democracy and "constitutionality, the facades behind which he has operated while de- priving Argentines of most of their liberties Now he has come out -knuckled and frenzied with overt threats against anyone opposing his plan to amend the constitution that be may legally succeed himself as President. T who have pardoned them all the acts they have committed against the nation he is quoted saying that in radio broadcast T who have asked peace, who have asked tranquility-my voice will not tremble the day order them to be hanged" All in nice friendly democratic fashion, doubt.
 This presents interesting study in the psychol ogy of dctators There question that Person will get what wants if only for the that he has taken pains to muzzle and perhaps Hquidate most of his opposition. A handful of Radicals courageously continue to protest in the Argentine Congress, but the constitutional reform already has passed both houses and the once influential La Presna has been moved to observe ahat all vesge of freedom of speech has disappeared from the Argentine Legislature. Yet Person continues to brstle at the outworn oligarchy that dares to raise a whisper of disagreement and thunders that it is necessary to impose the will of the people" In his concern for the mask or legality Peron more than fantly reminiscent of two other dctators, Messrs Hitler and Mussoini, both of whom at pains to maintain parliamentary forms to their assumption of Psychologists probably would call this manifestation of the guilt complex. Apparently the more absolute dictator becomes the less he able tolerate the thought that even tiny fraction of populace not energetcay befind him.

HURLEY'S BOSOM

One of the things that constant ly astonishes friends of Patrick J. Hurley is his amazing and charming gall His bosom blossoms with an imposing array of military decorations, but the person who admires them has no way of know ing how they were collected.
 One incident Hurley doesn't brag about. for instance, is his exit from Darwin, Australia, in 1922. Roose- welt, who wanted to curry Republi- can support, had given Hurley a rowing mission in the South Paci- fic and Pat flew into Darwin one day just ahead of the Japs. As an ambassador he carried with him the State Departments secret code, used for radioing mes- sages back to the U. s. A. This code is guarded so carefully that diplomats when travelling some times chain it to their wrists when they go to bed at night.
 However, Ambassador Hurley left the code in his airplane at the Darwin airport while he spent the night in town. That night, Jap airplanes attacked. What became of the code no one knows. The State Department hoped that it was burned in the bombing of the airport
 Next morning, a special train carried Australians and Americans out of Darwin AS the train steam ed south ahead of the Japs, the locomotive engineer had to stop. For on the tracks ahead, pumping handcar for dear life, were two men, one of them the former Sec retary of War in the Hoover Cabi- net Pat couldn't wait for the special train to escape the Japs. Later believe it or not, he received a decoration.

Warning Flags Flying
Cincinnati Enquirer

Several economic warning flags are flying these days-fags which have been furled for several years Those who remember the which followed World War II will the danger signals if they will but look around them.
 Prices still are high Earnings still are a peak. The national income is the highest in history But the rate of family savings showing decrease Money is becoming little tighter Interest rates, which have been boosted slightly in recent weeks, reflect the fact that and people are borrowing. The Federal Reserve Board few days ago an- nounced that 28 per of U. S. families have been spending more than their current incomes Savings, which in 1946 12 per cent of consumer income, dropped last year to g per cent. The l948 figures, when they're complied doubtless will show still further decreases. Initial payments in home financings have fallen off mortgages have increased proportionatey
 There is nothing serious in any of this. In fact, most of it can be marked down the first fatering steps toward a return toward the economic norm The danger lies not in any easy backward movement, but in the possibility that the slide may gain momentum may progress to point where depression results.
 Hcme financing by mortgages is healthy busi- ness-unles the ratio of loans becomes out of sensible proportion to true values. This condition is easily they are today The reduction in the rate of savings in itself need spell disasteruness the rate falls much below 1947's per cent But both factors plus certain others the field of economies do indicate that unless wer're careful trouble may lie ahead
 It is time for the householder to consider the pos sibty of a mild reecssion-and to guard against it with sound backlog of reserves. We should check expenditures more carefully; should be willing to get along without some of the luxuries in which we've been indulgng ourselves during "the boom" If do these things wisely and thoroughly America need not fear major depression We will have in its place sane and gradual return to true measure of standard and basic values.

UPHILL BATTLE

Now the iniefatigable Hurley is lack again, this time running against popular Clinton Anderson, longtime resident of New Mexico, formerly it's lone Congressman and later Secretary of Agriculture.
 It's an uphill battle. However, there is one thing you can say for Hurley. In the long years be- tween his exit from the Hoover administration to his current Sena- torial campaign, Pat has never lacked the knack to keep his name in the headlines.
 Sometimes the headlines haven't been so kind, as when he ordered his Cadillac car flown over the Himalaya Mountains from India to China in an Army plane when U. s. troops, in China critically needed war supplies.
 Or again, he didn't come off too well when Sen. Walter Langer of North Dakota officially demanded an explanation of the COCO iewelry and furs given to Mrs. Hurley by the Chiang Kai-shek government.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-10-25

The record is still in the War Department, however, and examin- ation of the facts will show that about one hour before the last shot of World War 1 was fired, the re- doubtable Patrick J. Hurley, a member of the Judge Advocate Generals office and supposed to stay behind the lines, moved up to the front. He was curious to see the last shot fired. One officer, Lieut.. Col Wilbur Rogers, an ar tilleryman, tried to stop him be- cause orders were to ban sight seers. Hurley, however, presisted. And for this sightseeing mission, Hurley had enough political pull and gall-two years later, to get a Silver Star Citation for "Gallantry In Action On Nov. II, 1918."
 ! The man who accompanied him on that sightseeing expedition. Col. E. St. John Creole, was com- mitted to St. Elizabeth's Insane Asylum in 1886. Pat Hurley is now running for the Senate.

TIE CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE BEGINS

Should you doubt that Christmas is practically here Kiwans members this week will remind you they sponsors for the local board of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association, solicit business houses for Christmas seal sales
 Christmas seals have become American tradi- tion They have become that tradition because they are symbol of important piece of work that has been carried on this country for forty odd years
 That work is the nation wide campaign against tuberculosis naugurated in 1904 by the National Tuberculosis Association and continued without in- terruption by the association and its increasing Der of affiates every State. Like other TB asso- ciaton groups, the Alaska association, in close CO., operation with the health department is waging an effective battle to eradicate tuberculosis.
 In Alaska the seal sale receipts are divided in this manner 20 per cent of the fund collected here is spent for the local TB program The remaining 80 per cent of the local receipts used by the central office here in Juneau for the overall Alaskan program. The central office sends per cent of all receipts collected in the Territory the National Tuberculosis Associa- tion in New York City for its national program.
 Probably the best known of the local TB associa- ton work has been it's cooperation with the mass x-ray survey of the Territorial Health Department. Other aid given by Alaska TB Association locals in cuded the provision of food vitamn pills, milk and other supplies in homes having tuberculosis pat1ents travel expenses of patients enroute to hospitals
 The Kiwans, sponsors of the Christmas seal sale and Mrs Bess Vim, Executive Secretary of the ATA urge everyone to help Alaska and it's TB program

ARMIsTICE DAY GALLANTRY

There is another decoration on Pats bosom, which he once listed in his Who's Who autobiography namely a Silver Star Citation for "Gallantry In Action Nov. II, 1918"
 Nov. Il, or course, was the last day of the war And so many people kidded Pat about his last minute gallantry that he toned it down in his biographical sketch
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-10-25

That was why the unquenchable Hurley went out to New Mexico and tried to oefeat Dennis Chevez for the Senate in 1946. One of the things that hurt him in that race was that although he claimed New Mexican residence since 1885, he forgot to pay taxes not only then but for several years thereafter. The voters of New Mexico consid- cred payment of taxes an impor- tant obligation of good citizenship and they did not send Pat to the Senate

OIL COMPANY FEE

Langer also demanded an eX- planation of the fact that Hurley. while serving as U s. Ambassador, received $1o8,000 from the Sinclair Oil Company. No satisfactory answer to this question Was ever given by the State Department or hy Hurely himself.
 It is highly unusual for an American Ambassador to receive a fee from an American corporation, especially an oil company. The fact that he, received the Sl00,000 was never denied It was even state officially by the Sinclair
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-10-25

Company Nor did the State De- partment have any answer to Sen ator Langer's question as to why Hurley, although Ambassador to China, went out of his way to visit the Near Eastern oil fields, and actually recommended a grandiose plan whereby the United States would virtually take over the Near East.
