About The Citu

Carl Goerch tells the following
story about an election bet
which a certain gentleman near
here, whom he calls Jim Taylor
instead of mis- real name, made
on the election.
Jim is a Republican. Two or
three times he ran for a county
office but he never got very far.
For sixteen years he got very
little satisfaction out of local ,
statewide or national politics @.
The Democrats always won out.
This time, however, it was a
different proposition. All of the
experts were forcasting an over
whelming Republican victory u.
Jim began to get lot more
cheerful. Politics looked good to
him once more. He could now
do little Dragging without get
ting much of a comeback. He
not only did little Dragging he
did lot of it.
He runs country store and he
also does some farming on the
side and is generally regarded
as being comfortably fixed. Not
wealthy by any means, but COM
Portable.
On the evening of election day,
Jim drove to town and joined
some of his friends, all of whom
are Democrats. We'll boys,
said Jim, Its all over but the
shouting" Nobody had very
much to say. Eyes, sir; w e
Republicans are sure going to
give you Democrats a terrific
beating" continued Jim. There
wasn't any arguement. "Tl bet
a thousand dollars to hundred
dollars" he said. This time a
member of the group spoke up
and said quietly, "l'll take that
bet if you're serious about it
Jim" "Of course I'm serious.
That's a hundred dollars
I'll have in the morning. l
would like to make it two hun

dred. Come on you fellows wnat
do you say?" "I'll put up a
hundred" spoke up somebody
else and this kept up until Jim
had put up $4,000 against $500
that Dewey would win. "1'll be
around early tomorrow morning
to collect the money" said Jim
with a grin.
Jim spent a pleasant evening
until about ten O'Clock that night
However, ne didn't welsh on any
of his bets and paid up like a
real man.

STA55EN HAS FIVE POINTS
 IN PROGRAM

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-iR-Harold E. Stassen. candidate for the Re- publican presidential nomination, has outlined five-point program which he said could" by 1850 re- suit in the inability of the Krem- lin to successfully wage aggressive war, and diminishing Communist strength in other nations.
 Adoption of the program by the U. S, the former Minnesota Gov ernor said, also would show con tinued success of the American eco- homie system, marked progress in rebuilding Europe with rising stand ards of living, and a definite trend toward increased individual eco- homie, social and political freedom.
 The five points as expounded by Stassen are:
 l. To show the continued suc- cess of the American system of gov ernment; 9 Not to permit quibbling or politics to delay the Marshall Plan; 3. Maintain strong military position and increase our air power | Stop shipping to Russia heavy machinery or other apparatus which could become part of the Communist war machine, 5. Combat Communist propaganda.

 The Department of Health is also represented by Dr. c. E. Albrecht and w. L. Deering; the Fish and Wildlife Service by Frank Robards.
 The first days discussion was taken up with the consideration of the special requirements of the sal mon canning industry. The Alaska Code will be based on the American Standards and recommendations of the National Safety Council. To fit the codes to Alaskan conditions will require some changes in the na- tional standards. The cooperation of both employers and employees in this important activity will con- tribute to the formulation of an Alaskan Code which will reflect the high standards of the salmon in dustry's operations in the Terri tory.
 The advisory hearings on the sal mon code will be concluded this week, to be followed by further hearings for the other important industries in the Territory, includ- ing cold storages, sawmills, logging camps. construction, garages and machine shops and a general safety code.

 Protest against increased charges by the three companies, Alaska Steamship, Alaska Transportation and Northland Transportation, was presented by Territory officials and various organizations at a hearing in Seattle two months ago.

 The examiners told the Com mission they felt the record should be held open for submission of additional evidence reflecting (the companiesD revenues, expenses, op- erations and practices throughout sf
 The examiners said that rates to Alaska are higher than those to Hawaii and Puerto Rico, but declared there were differences in that the Alaska trade is closed during the winter months, has unusual hazards and dangers, pays higher wages to personnel and has peculiar problems arising from the short canning season.
 High Living Costs
 While it cannot be denied that the rates under consideration are one reason for the high cost of liv- ing in Alaska indeed, (the com panleSl readily admlt lt-neVeftne- less it can not fairly be said that the rates are the primary cause, the examiners said.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

TRIESTE = By WirelesslIf war ccmes during the year l948. there are just two places where the ex- plosion could occur. One is Greece. where a. US military mission is now face to face with Moscow's puppet Greek republic. The sec ond is Trieste, where 5.000 U. s. troops of the 88th Division arc separated only by a thin, vague line from the toughest, toughest Yugoslav fighters Tito can muster.
 Of these two trouble spots, Trieste is by far the more danger ous. For just opposite the scarce ly charted border between Yugo- slavia and the free city Of Trieste are 100000 Yugoslav troops equip ped with the latest arms Moscow can manufacture. They can wade through the handful of 5000 U s. troops good as they are--in short order.
 The great danger here is that Moscow might be successful in establishing puppet Soviet gov ernment ill northern Italy, many of whose cities already have Com munlst-dominated municipal coun- clls. In this case the Soviet pup pet in Northern Italy would i'm mediately invite" Tito to send his army into that area.
