probably will remain at relatively
high levels through next year. The
foreign aid program probably will
be continued and will maintain rel
atively large farm exports. A strong
policy of supporting farm prices
appears assured, although the gen.
eral farm price level probably will
remain considerably below the early
1948 peak due to increased domestic
and foreign production.
Higher costs for farmers are prob
able in the coming year. While
feed, food and possibly clothing will
cost less, prices for tractors and
farm implements and metal-using
equipment and supplies probably
will be higher, due to rising prices
for raw materials and some further
advance in industrial wages. New
auto and truck prices probably will
continue to rise. Motor fuel will re-
main high, if it does not advance
further.
Building materials also will con-
tinue near present sky-high levels.
Fertilizer prices probably will be
higher, while pesticides are likely
to cost about the same as this year,
according to the U. S. department
of agriculture. Coal prices prob
ably will be upped again in 1949.
Prices for most seeds are likely to
be higher owing to small crops and
light carryovers. Freight rates are
likely to advance further.
The railroads are requesting an
increase of Is percent. Farm labor
probably will be more expensive
next year. Some fourth-round wage
increases, high industrial activity
and the draft will make strong COM
petition for farmers for the avail
able manpoWer.
CATTLE prices probably will be
steady to lower on the good and
choice grades, and relatively steady
on the medium, common and infe-
rior slaughter cattle and most classes
and grades of stockers and feeders.
Increasing supplies of granted cat
tie finished on the 1913 corn crop
and the season for heavy supplies
of poultry which compete with gooo
beef indicate lower prices for the
better grades of cattle. Ending o.
the grass cattle season will reduce
the supply of intermediate and low
grades as well as stocker and feede.
cattle.
The decline in feeder cattle price
in the last three months, abundan
feed stocks, a favorable ratio be
tween prices for feed and fat cattl
and profits on feeding last seaso
probably will mean a sustaine
demand for feeders during late ia
and early winter.

Governor Makes Annual
 Report To Interior Dept.

The past year, l947, was one Of historic import to Alaska, although in general it was a disastrous year due to the maritime situation, Governor Ernest Gruening states in his an- Hnal report to the Secretary of the Interior, released to the press this week.
 Governor Gruening's report sets forth several recommenda. eions for the territory in it's fore- word. The major part of it is de- voted to factual review of the activities of the territory
 The increased steamship freight rates, which he says A. haskans had no opportunity to testify against, "acted as a aamper on Alaska's potential new enterprises and on the Ter ntory's progress and growth" |, Mir. Gruening claims. A second disastrous aspect of the mari- sime situation, be adds is the re- peated and prolonged stoppages which "have caused irremedi able loss to the territory"
 "An entirely new approach to AIaska's maritime transporta- sion is nee ded Tn which the de- yelopment of Alaska, considered as a major national policy will be the objective" he recom- mends. He also expresses the view that the American ship ping interests have done little to develop 8 potential tourist business" It is a common exper fence to have American vessels arrive in the ports late at night and leave before daybreak, " he said.
 Regarding the land question, ahe governor says that "acquisi- tiOn by purchase should be made possible by individuals seeking

Labor Dept. Checks Woge-Hour in Alosko

JUNEAU,-The special program for inspecting Alaskan establish ments subject to Federal labor laws, carried on during a four months period by a selected staff from the States because no per menent force of U. s. Department of Labor. personnel had been sta toned in the Territory for some time, has resulted in violations being uncovered in a number of establishments.
 The inspection program was or ganized and carried out under the supervision of John R. Dille, of San Francisco, regional director in the eight Western states for the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions, U. s. Depart ment of Labor, as part of the en- forcement procedure of the nation al headquarters of the Divisions in Washington, D. C. Four inspec- tors from San Francisco, Los An

 The results, announced today by Leonard E. Evans, territorial re- presentative for the Department, show 75 establishments were in- spected and major violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (Fed- eral wage and hour law) and the Walsh-Healey Public Contra c s Act were found in Al establish ments, while substantial violations were noted in 42 plants. Child la- bor violations were found in 16 establishments, Evans said, where 34 under-age minors were illegally employed.

IN ANY DISCUSSION of news ,

IN ANY DISCUSSION of news papers. that very necessary factor acknowledgements be mentioned, for it is, the advance in intelligent, truthful advertising that has been largely responsible for the present high quality of American news papers. There is precept of news paper policy that. requires the readers interests to be considered first of all. and this policy is fol lowed by most newspapers. How eyer. advertising. paid for in hard cash. and not by favors or other remuneration, Is what enables newspapers to be free and impar- tial in their coverage of news. After all, publishing a newspaper requires lots of money, and there are only two ways of getting it. A publisher either sells his space to legitimate advertisers, or he turns it over to the propagandist and re- linquishes control of what goes into his newspaper. It is advertis- ing that insureS a free, unsubsi- dized press.
 IT DOESN'T REQUIRE a lot of research to find out the type and quality of advertising in news papers, large and small, of just few years ago. Almost every week ly paper and some dailies used to use a proof press on which Dr. Miles name was prominently stamped. Dr. Miles had a plan whereby he gave the print shop a proof press in return for advertis- ing space to boost his patent medi- cines, and these proof presses be-

were found due to PIT employees he added. Of this amount, $59,- 626.43 represented amounts due 213 employees who had not been paid time and one-half for all hours worked over 40 per week, and $l,312.oo represented money due four employees who had not been paid the legal minimum wage of 40 cents an hour.
 The inspection program under Dille was started before Evans was named territorial representa- tive for the Department. The Ter ritory has now been detached from the Western region and future ad ministrative and enforcement work under the acts will be carried on in the Territory by Evans.

came 8 standard piece of equip ment in newspaper shops. and there are still many of them in daily use.
 COPIES OF OLD newspapers re- veal plenty of medicine ads. many of them displayed on the front page. as were many other favored advertisements forty years ago. There were advertisements of so many instantaneous remedies for so many alarming and unusual de- bilities that the reader had little else. to look at in many news papers.
 THROUGH THE MORE intelli- gent use of advertising and the as- sistance given advertisers by men who have studied its possibilities advertising of all kinds is really news today, and surveys prove that large number of newspaper read CTS read advertisements.
 EVERY NEWSPAPER must sell it's space at a rate that will meet present day costs and afford reasonable profit, and that is the reason publishers take dim view of most free publicity releases. Costs of publishing newspaper have more than doubled in the past ten years and the situation has become more alarming recent ly. Newsprnt prices advance stead ily. payolls are climbing and every item of overhead is much higher than it was in "the good old days" when it was an easy matter to get your free publicity into the paper. The publisher was always looking for something to fill up his pages and one thing was as good as an other. S&
 MOST NEWSPAPERS now take the attitude that anything that promotes the general welfare and from which no financial profit is forthcoming is worthy of free space and promotion. If you expect to make money out of your promo ton, you should expect to pay for the publicity. Nothing can be fairer than that!
