The exarnn CTS reported that rates on canned salmon are now high enough to cause some loss of this business and if canned salmon southbound and cannery supplies northbound, are lost it is inevitable that the town freight will be compelled to pay higher rates ;

 Over and over again in the record it is pointed that the investigations at this time premature since figures only three months of the operations under the agreement available and the examiners favor holding the record open until the figures for full year are available
 All of this protesting on the part of the Territory seems to be just that-wld assertions with no proof and it is expensive proposition.

 The Maritime Commission examiners made one statement that deserves some thought:

 Boiled down to the cold facts furnished the Government by oil men, here is the oil outlook today: Americas entire petroleum re- serves are estimated at about 9 million barrels. Of this, less than five million can be traced to new oil fields discovered during the past decade The balance was add cd through "revisions of previous estimates and extensions to known fields" In other words, recent dis coveries account for little more than two years supply at the pres ent rate of consumption On the ether hand, the percentage and size Of new discoveries is dropping off.

ANOTHER STEAMSHIP INVESTIGATION?

Undaunted by findings the part of the U S. Maritime Commission which have been extremely favorable to the American steamship companies serv- ing Alaska Attorney General Ralph Rivers has tleo another petition with the commission, asking for cancellation of the emergency interim agreement under which the companies have been operating.
 This agreement drawn under Public Law l2, was to run until July l. l94s, while permanent solution was being sought Under its terms the steamship companies are subsidized The present rates were designed to provide for an overall increase in revenue of 35 per cent over rates in effect before last July At that time the Maritime Commission was satlsfled with the evidence submitted that the rates would nave to be increased by 85 per cent if the operators were to secure reasonable return under private operation To prevent such large increase the present interim agreement was authorized by Congress, under which 50 per of the necessary increase made up by government subsidy.
 In other words, if it not for the present interim agreement Alaskans would be fighting rates which would be 50 per cent higher than they are now.
 Our Attorney General now proposes that this agreement be terminated. Just what he believes should be offefed in its stead is not clear.
 The rate investigation recently concluded was a complete flop far the Territory was concerned
 Practically all charges made by the Terrtory's representatives could not backed with facts else were not related to the issue.
 The Territory charged that the steamship com- panies sent ships out light loaded, quoting number of examples The testimony showed that the ships of the Alaska Steamship Company, which the Terri tory contended fully loaded actually sailed with capacity capacity loads being loaded in terms of measurement tons instead of weight tons The Territory's witness in and had to be excused for having had experience in the steamship business
 The Territory, in the face of 50 per cent rate subsidy charged that the rates unjust and un- reasonable The examiners reported that the rates were just and reasonable and that if the steamship companies were under private operation rates would have to be raised to bring in an additional s2 68 855 annually.

 When we were very young and lived n the :ar West-a West which but few years away from the pioneers-eggs sometimes reached S1 dozen dur ing the winter months Good housekeepers of those days bought eggs during the summer, when prices were lower and preserved them in a waterglass sou- ton, for use during the high-cost periods.

 Far in the interior of China we purchased eggs from native lads along the roads and trails Each basket presented for sale would contain some boiled and eggs. We learned early how to tell the difference without breaking them. An uncooked egg won't spin as you might spin silver dollar A boiled egg will spin fo "a considerable time.

OIL TO GERMANY

While major discovery is not impossible, it is highly unlikely Geologists have been probing the most promising terrain for the past Is years without tapping a single major field. So, while our productive capacity has reached its peak, the nation is draining its oil reservoirs faster than new oil can be poured in. The deficit is esti- mated at 429,O00 barrels per day, and the rate of consumption is on the upswing.
 The only immediate solution is to increase foreign oil imports. This is why Arabian oil and the dyna- mite-laden Near East become so important. The Government al- ready plans to import more oil than it exports this year-for the first tune in history. In case of war, of course, outside oil could be cut eff by submarines. This leaves the only remaining answer. synthetic petroleum And experts say it will take another ten years 10 produce synthetic petroleum commercially.
 Note-One factor contributing to the current oil shortage is an in creased flew to Germany of 10000 barrels per day. The extra oil is going into the British zone, the Army explains. Actually the mili-

OIL DRIES UP

The American oil industry is now spending the huge sum of Sl,900,000 in a powerful counter-sales cam paign to persuade people not to buy oil
 The amazing fact is that it was only just recently that the oil in- dustry was willing to face the facts regarding the oil shortage. Before that it was blandly asserting that oil would flow freely as soon as there was sufficient transporta- tion
 This writer as early as Sept ' predicted that gasoline would have to be rationed this winter, while Acting Secretary oi the Interior Oscar Chapman informed Congress in late September in a statement available to the oil industry and the entire public that oil would be extremely short and should be ratiOned.
 Despite this critical situation, oil burner manufacturers sold 80 900 burners in November-an all-time high. And even while Standard Oi, oi New Jersey was unloading surplus oii-burners on the public 1t was quietly converting its own Bayway. N J. plant from oil to coal

THREE FAMOUS SONS

The sons of three famous men called on President Truman the other day with a plan to do some thing lon their own" about the housing shortage. The callers were Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., Repre- sentative John F Kennedy of Massachusetts, son of the form CT Ambassador to Great Britain and Robert Wagner, Jr., son of New York's veteran Senator.
 Their plan: a nationwide cam paign to force Congress to take a delayed vote on low-cost housing. The drive, they said, will be launched at Washington meeting of war-vet leaders begin- ming March 1.
 That's where you come in, MT. President" spoke up young Wag- ner. We want you to appear on the program if you can possibly do so. It will mean a great deal to the success of what we're trying to do"
 They went on to explain that our whole economy is threatened by high housing costs, and that a housing program for the relief of low income groups goes hand in-hand with the Governments bat tie against imitation.
 "Ycu have a splendid idea" re- sponded Truman. Tn fits right in with what we are trying to do and what I have repeatedly advo- cated to the Congress-a long, range housing program for the benefit of low-income families.
 I'll do my best to appear on your program" he added. Tn fact, if I'm in Washington at the time, I'll be there"
 The President went on to say that one of the most serious prob lens of the current housing situa- tion in addition to high prices was the low quality of new housing.
 "A lot of the stuff builders are selling now is nothing but junk, he remarked "A veteran may buy a new home on long-term credit say 30 or 35 years-but after he has lived in it four or five years he finds himself stuck with ex- pensive repairs which he is unable to meet on top of his monthly payments"
 That is certainly true in New York" agreed Senator Wagner's son. Most homes being sold in my state are not a good invest ment For that reason, veterans are loath to buy new homes, but are moving into rental units, and are being gouged from s90 to Sl20 a month in rents"
 Unless we are able to mobilize public opinion" said young Ken nedy, Congress will try to throw us another bone this session.
