new building and provide housing for personnel it have the restored Alaska district headquarters by next July l, The Chronicle learned this week
 The letter to Juneau's Chamber of Commerce result of the Alaska inspection trip last summer of Captain J. E. Richmond and his party from Coast Guard headquarters in Washington, D. C.
 What effect reassignment of the DCGO to Juneau would have the Ketchikan base operation is not known precisely here but it is believed that eight or ten staff officers would leave the base and become attached to headquarters One two ships also would leave Ketchkan for Juneau it is believed while shops and aids-to navigation facilities would remain That would make the Ketchikan base little more than depot.
 Unofficial word on the proposal to Juneau is that that city must provide 14OO0 feet of office space by July l. Options have been taken on land and con- tractor has guaranteed he can complete the two or three story office building by that date Private capital also has guaranteed to build needed housing.
 Captain Richmond's party felt Ketchikan has some advantages for the district office including the Point Higgins radio station, proximity to more ship ping and surface craft and buildings already available for occupancy at the base here However Juneau was favored because of reported better communications with the westward plus neaness to other government agencies and more central location.

COAST GUARD HEADQUARTERS
 FOR JUNEAU

Ketchikan newspapers became excited last Satur- day over the announcement that Juneau was to be Coast Guard Headquarters.
 The Ketchikan Chronicle dan eght-coumn banner line Juneau Promised Coast Guard Office y
 The Ketchikan Chronicle used eight column said Juneau Is Selected c. G. Headquarters"
 Excerpts from the local story of the Ketchkan News follows:
 The U. S. Coast Guard has made an offer to establish headquarters for the Alaska District at Juneau provided that the City of Juneau will guar antee to provide new office building with l4,00O square feet floor space, living quarters for 25 or more families and dock space, it has been learned by the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce
 The decision to establish headquarters at Juneau was apparently made by Captain Alfred C. Richmond, Assistant Chief of the Planning and Control Staff of visited Alaska with him last summer.
 Ketchikan, it appears from the information re- ceived by the Chamber. to have been by-passed except possibly second choice, in the event that Juneau fails to provide the required facilities.
 The information reached the Ketchikan Chamber as bolt out of the blue since it had been presumed that Ketehikan had at least equal chance with Juneau for the headquarters. No request has beer made of Ketchikan for guarantee of housing office space

messages over the Capitol grape vine, regarding the hottest ques- tion in Washington-who will boss the committees of Congress for the next two years?
 When Northern Democrats hint ed that a reshuffling of commit tee assignments might be tried, dealing the Southerner to the bot tom of the deck, whispers came back from the Southern bloc that this might force them into a coalition with the Republicans.
 Southerners control enough votes to throw both bodies of Congress to the COP. Not counting border states, the Southerners hold 88 seats in the House, Is seats in the Senate. If they vote with the Republicans it would give the COP at least a 259-to-175 majority in the House and a 6O-to-36 ma jority in the Senate.
 So now the Northerners are sug- gesting that maybe only a few out-and-out DiXiecrats should be punished. They have especially in mind Senators James Eastland of Mississippi, John Mcclellan of Arkansas, Congressmen Mendel Rivers of South Carolina, John Rankin of Mississippi and Gene Cox of Georgia.

MR. LUCKEY GOES TO
 WASHINGTON

Last week George Luckey came to Washington, but not like a tour ist. He wore embroidered cow boy boots beneath his pants. The minute he hit town, the White House was on the phone inviting him to visit the President. Treas urer Secretary Snyder, Agricul- ture Secretary Grammar, Howard McGrath, Louis Johnson and other high Democratic potentates waited on MT. Luckey, wined-and-d din- ed the country boy who never gave up.
 The Luckey story spelled victory For the Democrats in several other ways. In 1892, Luckey was a New Mexico rancher, virtually broke. Roosevelt's election gave him a chance to borrow enough money from the Agriculture Department to market his cattle in California, and his subsequent financial recov- cry paralleled that of the country. Gradually he built up his holdings, until today he markets in the neighborhood of 12,000 head of cattle year from ranches sprawl ed over Utah, California and Texas. He has just completed a S300,000 push-button cattle-feeding plant outside San Antonio.
 Asked why he plunged so heav- fly on the Democratic Party, Luckey says:
 ''The Democrats have been good to the Luckey family. You don't shoot your banker where I come from"
 The Luckey- Truman friendship had an unusual origin About a year ago, Luckey heard Truman speak on the radio. He wrote the President congratulatory note. Tru- man answered personally. The cor respondence built personal friend ship.

UNHAPPY MIR. FORRESTAL

Best evidence that the President hasn't changed his mind about fir ing Secretary of Defense Forrestal is the inside story of what hap pened at Key West Forrestafs visit was built up by his news paper friends as a sure sign he had wiggled hack into Truman's good graces. But here are some facts that didn't leak out at the time.
 First, Forrestal flew to Key West at his own request, but expecting Q private, intimate chat with the President. Instead he found the house full of guests and little chance to be alone with Truman.
 Though the President walked to the door to greet other important guests as they entered, he waited until Forrestal was halfway across the living room before acknow- ledging him. When Trumamn real ly likes anyone he goes all-out to meet them, even goes all the way to the airport to meet Secretary of State Marshall.
 At luncheon, Forrestal was seat ed at the Presidents right, accord ingt to protocol, but he was left cut of the conversation. Truman directed most of his attention to Florida's newly elected Governor Fuller Warren, swapping stories with him and chuckling merrily.
 When the drinks were passed, Forrestal took orange juice. The others didn't. But on the second round, the unhappy Defense Chief blurted that he would join in something stronger. It sounded like strained effort to become one of the boys, though he con- tinued to sit stiffly at the Presi- dents elbow, smiling wanly and saying little.
 The press made big to-do over a statement issued by Press Secre- tary Charlie Ross that the Presi- dent had conferred 45 minutes with Forrestal. The truth was, Truman and Forrestal stood together on the lawn chatting briefly while the other guests milled about.

Literacy and Security
Cincinnati Enquirer

Three-quarters of century ago, one fifth Of the adult population of the United States could read write Last year, the recent Census Bureau report noted only 2.7 per cent of our population above the age of II could not read write.
 The profound advantages which entaed in the steady increase of literacy in this country very likely to be overlooked by persons not cerned in the administration of education Literacy however is of the most important advantages which civilized have less-well- civilized races. animals And these advantages not only cultural, economic and social but military.
 At first the United States Army felt compelled to reject of it's best potential material because the not literate. Later special training provided for them, but the ilterate soldier is very limited asset in the modern science of Therefore any reckoning of the future security of this nation should into account the very nigh percentage of literacy enjoy over most other lands Stupid soldiers may make good cennon fodder, but they achieve victories only grievousy disproportionate expense in lives.
 Some day. we hope, the literacy of all the world will be raised to the point where the essentially un- civilized business of will be relegated to the limbo.

Asked if he had ever correspond ed with Roosevelt, Luckey replied. T wouldn't ever have written to Roosevelt. He was sort of like God. You prayed to him, but you never wrote. Truman's just reg ular feller-the kind anyone can understand"
 Luckey still wears his cowboy boots everywhere-even to the White House, and when Truman ,aw him he chuckled:
 George, I'm glad you're still wearing those boots. They're just tight for booting a few of the guys around here who need real kick in the pants

 When the Democrats went to Philadelphia for their convention last July, Luckey wasn't even a delegate. He was merely an alter nate-though a fiery supporter of Harry Truman. He fell into the job of bossing California Demo- crats chiefly because everyone else though Truman was licked.
 Most California Democrats threw their hands in the air. But Luckey rolled up his sleeves and agreed to underwrite any deficit incurred by the party. And Election Day found him the most important Democrat in California.
