PHILADELPHIA When Dwight Eisenhower was a high school boy in Abilene, Kansas. he used to play Ply Lou" a game which consisted of putting pennies on the shady side of the street and wait ing for fly to light on one par ticular penny When it did the owner took all the other pennies.
 In playing Fly Lou Eisenhower and his pals were always alert to see that no boy put syrup on a coin to attract fly, for, as young Dwight said: "A fly is smart but even a fly can be tempted
 Democratic leaders at Philadel- phia will have to put plenty of syrup on their coin to tempt Els enhower to fly their way. But whether he lights now or not. Dwight Eisenhowers name is going to be in the political headlines from now until 1852, so here is a further attemp' to appraise the most spotiighted man in America.

LEGISLATURE SCORED
BY GOVERNOR GRUENING

FAIRBANKS - Governor Ern- est Gruening scored the last legis- lature in a Labor Day address here for failure to pass tax laws.
 He particularly blamed members from the Fourth Division, which includes Fairbanks, for having to pass the hat to keep the doors of the University of Alaska from clos ing"
 He said Alaska is the only pol itical entity under the American flag where the preponderant map ority of all businesses pay no taxes, except Federal income tax.
 Plea For Statehood
 The Governor also reiterated his plea for Alaska statehood He said the argument that Alaska must be more fully developed before state hood is granted lis like saying you must learn to swim before yod can enter the water"
 The Governors talk was one of the highlights of the most elabor- ate Labor Day celebrations in the history of Fairbanks. Events inc cluded the first wild west rodeo ever staged this close to the Arctic Circle.

 Local Groups Assist
 Local community groups, fra ternal orders, Red Cross Chapters, Salvation Army units. etc, have aided immensely in attempting to meet emergency needs. but their limited resources are in no way sufficient to meet the overall de mand," Maynard said. He announc- ed that the Board of Public Vel fare would meet sometime this fell to prepare a report to the Legis- lature meeting in January 1949 with estimates of funds to be re- quired during the next biennium.

FEDERAL GRANTS MAKE POSSIBLE INCREASE IN
 OLD AGE ASST"r'' sTGI

Increase in grants to recipients of Old Age Assistance in the Terri tory became effective the first of September according to R. c. May nard, Director of the Public Well fare Department Maynard sait that greater participation by the Federal government and ayailabil- ity of Territorial appropriation balances made possible a return to the former standard of making garnts."
 For the past IT months. he said, old age assistance grants were made only on the basis of meeting needs of food, clothing, fuel and rent. Grants now will be determ- ined on the former basic stan lard of need which includes the above four needs, and in addition pro- perty upkeep, taxes, board and care, lights, water, household equipment and supplies, insurance, doctors services. medicines, dental care and personal nCideutals. which was in effect prior to the re- strictions made necessary when the 1947 Legislature failed to appro- priate sufficient funds in this pro- gram to carry through the bien- nium"
 A oaseload of approximately l., 400 with little likelihood of much of an increase above this figure is contemplated during the balance of the biennium ending March 91, 1949.
 Together with a greater match ing formula to become effective October l, through the Federal se- curity Agency, and remaining funds in the program appropr- ation, recipients will be receiving. a large amount to help meet the increased costs of living" sad Maynard
 Federal To Pay Three -Fifths
 He estimated that the present average grant of $45 would be l-I creased to about $55 to $60 per month. Under the new matching formula the Federal government will contribute three-fifths of the amount of the grant not eXseeding $50. This means that on $50

grant the Federal government will contribute sS0 and the Territory .$2O.
 No Increase ADO.
 While additional Federal match ing is also made available in the Aid to Dependent Children pro gram. the Department cannot n- crease the avemge amount of the grant per child because the l947 appropriation was so far below the amount needed for the biennium," said Maynard.
 Long Waiting List
 He revealed at present there were 130 families including 322 children who were eligible but could not be certified for payment. The average of $14 per month per cbild is woefully inadequate. he said, and with only half enough funds provided by the Legislature. in the general relief program, this average could not be supplemented nor could pending cases be granted emergency relief.
 Many Denied Bar
 Since April 1947, MT. Maynard reported. approximately goo eases involving about 1900 persons de- termined to be eligible, have been denied general relief services bel cause insufficient funds were not aynilable in this appropriation by the Legislature. Since January of 194S, the Department has been un-' able to certify for payment any case requiring emergency hOspitalilation or medical care. The hospitals of the Territory haYeI accepted many such eases on a vol untnry basis, it was stated. Much medical and dental care for child ren previously paid from this pro- gram has not been certified, with many children having to go wi h-I out these necessary services.
 Juvenile Code Problem
 "The picture is the same in an- other important program, that 2fI Juvenile Code administration where. children are under commitment to the Department for a variety of reasons" said the Welfare Diree- or.

A Short Story

W7AKING, Jessica began to climb to con-

green sea.

back to her, rung by rung: it was cold, icy
cold; it was Thursday, her day to serve the
school lunches; between her mother and
father there existed that state of polite stiff
Tipped tension that she and her brother
Andrew. called "a mood" Sleep thinned, and
she remembered the dance last night Then
finally, as she broke the surface, it hit her
like thunderclap. Shed quarreled with Gil
She lay in the bed, clenched and cold, remem-
bering her ugly violence: remembering Gil's
white-faced, hostile silence.
JUST as clearly she remembered his voice of
six weeks ago, after they'd patched up the
last quarrel He'd held her face between his
hands, held it so their eyes were close His
had been serious, showing no reflection of the
joy that lit her own. He said gravely, That's
got to be our last big quarrel, Jess. It's got
to be- If we have another - it's all over We
can't 60 on like this or at least can't. It's
not worth it."
Some of her new-found warmth ebbed away
from her. She felt anew the bleakness of being

relied and parted But Gil" she said, people

self out of bed In another moment she d begin
to cry. And with school only little over an
hour ahead, she couldn't risk that. Nothing
from a crooked parting to pair of new shoe
laces escaped the darting penetration of the
children's eyes.
When she was dressed she stood by the
window brushing her gray flannel skirt. She
shut Gil out of her mind There was the break
fast table to be faced, and in house already
too charged with emotion, she must remain
unshakably calm She paused, and leaned her
forehead against the window pane. Outside
the winter-bound garden crouched, gray and
black the earth hard and every twig and
blade of grass an ice-clad spear. The sky was
swollen and overburdened. She fancied that
if she reached up and slit it with knife, it
would thankfully release the snow.
'JEssICA! It's quarter past eightt Mrs
Sheridan's voice rose up the stair well.
When Jessica entered the dining room, she
could tell by the angle of her mothers head,
by the slight rattle of cup against saucer,
that last nights mood was intensified. As she
stopped to kiss her mother, she saw the cause:
an airmail letter from Andrew in Burma

She cried out against them, accusing them of

darkened their childhood, and still caused
them all periods of emotional misery.

but an awful crush" She ate quickly, gulp-
ing her coffee. Her mother watched, waiting
for gesture of tenderness, word of condo
lence. Once given, there would be tears.
Jess heart swelled with pity; but the shell of
her own calm was too thin for her to risk any
thing that might crack it. She said nothing.
AS soon as she could, she got up. Sorry,
but I've got to rush. There's new kid coming
in this morning, and he's sure to be early;
they always are the first day. Miss Forsett

were as fine as crushed tissue paper. For a
second's space Jess wondered if her hair would

Mrs. Sheridan didn't reply, and to Jess's

silent in its slated belfry. Jess cycled toward
the school. She was long-limbed girl, with
strong. well-modeled features, and hair that
blew out of her scarf like flame. She knew

cottage windows, every carton in the village

recognized the voices of the. children who
cried after her, primly or pertly, Good
morning, Miss Sheridan" She'd lived in
Strand -Under-Hill all the twenty-seven years
of her life, and when she left at the end of the
summer term, she would have been its kinder
garten teacher for six years.
She wheeled her bicycle through the school
gate. The light was on in the classroom, and
as she passed the window Jess saw Miss
Forsett writing on the blackboard. She was
high-bosomed, neat-waisted, and her spirits
and energy were inexhaustible her standards
unrelaxing The vicar respected her, the par
ents and elder children stood in awe of her.
Jessica found her pedantic and exacting.
As she locked her bicycle, Jessica thought:
perhaps III do this every weekday now to the
end of my life. She stood still as her mind
absorbed the thought. She shivered.
She went into her classroom. BY her table

Round, pink faces pressed, entranced,
against the window, noses fattened; eyes
were bright with virtue. Jessica stripped Tony
of coat, beret, muff1er and a pair of too-tight
overshoes, and took them into the cloakroom.
