part of the prospective benefciares of sound and ade quate transportation Water carriers in our opinion have been made scapegoats. because their rates forced to comparatively high level by factors not subject their control-costs. Those who complain of rates all too frequently forget that facts are stubborn things and the stubbornest facts are costs They cannot be eliminated by calling or wshfu thinking and least of all they offset by cutting rates to the point where they will not yield reasonably compensatory return upon bona fide prudent investment. The non-developmen itself to have stemmed principally from recognition of the fact that the Alaskan situation must be considered exception to of two basic merchant marine principles-either the principle qurng private operation the principle that domestic trade shall not be subsidized. In Public Law l2 Con- gress determined it advisable to consider the Alaskan situation an exception to the subsidy rule and in effect subsidized the operation As heretofore dem onstrated the existing subsidy is insufficient bring about lowering rates to the point where they will encourage rather than retard the development of Alaska Further subsidy necessarily steering between the Scya of the chosen instrument and the Charybdis of unresraned cutthroat competition with all parti- cipants aided by government funds, is obviously 1ured but it should be clearly recognized a subsidy in aid of the development of Alaska, and not labeled as a subsidy for the development of the American merchant marine for which development subsidzing Alaska trade is not necessary.
 "It is respectfully submitted that the Commission cannot find the existing rate structures of respond ents unjust unreasonable, and that to find, and depress rates accordingly, would constitute grave and unjustifiable disseryce to the public interest well as the carriers, and to the people of the Ter ritory of Alaska
 We predict that the Commission will hold that the present rates are just and reasonable
 We do not intend to ridcue eager beaver" A. ton and up againts the experts
 But in this believe that the Maritime Commission experts have taken an attitude on this question which is much sensible than the pursued by Territorial officials, and in the long run better for Alaska

Although John L. Lewis did not bother to explain why his union voted withdraw from the AFL, it's action was foreshadowed by his refusal take the ncnCommunist oath required under the Taft Hartley Labor Act Defeated in his efforts to impose his will AFL officials MT. Lewis has expressed his resent ment in characteristic fashion.
 Not long ago the public displayed an avid interest in the devious of the head of the United Mine Workers Today that interest is at low ebb for people have to realize that MT. Lewis is not labor leader of whom great things be expected. He is still in supreme control of an im portant segment of organized abor-the United Mine Workers-but he has lost any chance he may once have had to influence and guide the policies of organ ized labor in the As result, the public has ceased to attach much importance to UNIV shifts of allegiance motivated by MT Lewis personal urge to get his own way It matters very little whether the UNIV attaches itself to the AFL or the CIO or de- cdes to be independent long as it obeys leader who refuses to cooperate-except on his own terms.
 As troubemaker par excellence MT. Lewis still has to be reckoned with His diminished stature in the eyes of the public has not destroyed his capacity to do great damage to the Nation by his ruthless policy of win or ruin But do not believe that the labor movement of the future will be directed by of his ilk. The Lewses cannot defy public opinion year over their following The Taft Hartley Act is warning that the people of this country intend to see that the rights of ali not sacrificed to satisfy the arbitrary demands of a few highly organized groups.

ALASKA RATE INVESTIGATION

Elsewhere in todays Empire appears letter from Attorney General Ralph Rivers strongly condemnlng us for an editorial of last week in which we suggested that our Territorial officials have been following the wrong path in attempting to secure lower freight rates for Alaska by trying prove that present rates are unjust and are returning unreasonable profits to steam ship operators.
 Mir Rivers quotes several paragraphs from the brief filed by representatives of the Maritime Com mission (which we erroneousy termed a study or ln- vestigation and not brief) which tend to support the contentious he made at the hearing that rates are unjust the steamship operations are inefficient etc.
 But what MT. Rivers fails to point out is that the overwhelming consensus of the solicitor attorney and rate analyst for the Maritime Commission states that the rates are reasonable and just
 MT Rivers kindly furnished us with copies of all of the briefs filed with the Maritime Commission and we fail to see that the Territory has been able to prove that the present rates too high In fact, what brought out at the hearing was that II the present subsidy done away with rates would have to be increased to yield more than S2oooooO annually if the steamship operators are to secure fair return their investments
 The Commission brief also states that operations of the carriers appear reasonably efficient"
 The conclusion of the Maritime Commission brlef speaks sense to us
 "ObvousIy the military and commercial welfare of the United States require the development and maintenance of adequate and efficient mtegrated transportation system by water, road rail and alr between the Territory of Alaska and the States Even if the Territory without military significance It's rich potentals of food minerals lumber and wood pulp would make substantial government aid ill the development of such transportation system prudent national investment. And no vast territory can be sufficiently strengthened mtarywse unless full civil md measures.
 Heretofore the public welfare in general and the personal welfare of Alaskans in particular has sui fered from development of transportation attribu- able to certain extent to destructive and critical rather than constructive and helpful attitude on the

a modest one when it left Los Angeles but it accumulated all sorts of gifts enroute as a result of fervent American friendship. Who sent these gifts? It was through the devotion and sincere brotherhood of all the American people, who sent the gifts them selves without official pomp. The French understand the symbol of collective action by American peo- pie and will not forget it's pro found significance Le Pro vencial, with the largest circula- tion in Marseilles Tt is not a question of official aid, but a friendly gesture of the American people. Our friends in America do not forget us We do not for get them, either. Twice in thirty years they have come to offer their blood to help us regain our liberty Today they are thinking of our children Without flowery language and big words, Marseilles says to them from the bottom of it's heart. Thanks, friends. Le Meridional, second largest Mar seilles paper, in front-page edi- tcrial says, "A spectacular manifes- tation of the solidarity of the American people and their solici- tude for the countries ravaged by the war is the arrival of the Friend Ship, which is the culmin- ation of the Friendship Train which crossed the entire United States, bringing more than 4,000 tons of. food given by all cate gories of American citizens to the French and Italians. This food came from great cities and small towns, from the country and even from villages isolated in the great plains or in the mountains. How our people and those of Italy will be touched by these spontaneous, disinterested evidences of spirit, international cooperation, and Christian fellowship!"

HARD-WORKING CAFFERY

Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire and his wife were be- ing entertained in Paris on their recent visit to Europe by hard working U S.. Ambassador Jeffer- son Caffery To meet the Chair man of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Caffery had invited Foreign Minister Bidault, who sat on Mrs Caffery's right. On the other side of Bidault sat Mrs. Bridges.
 During the dinner Mrs. Bridges asked the Foreign Minister why it was that the French people did not realize how much food the United States was sending to France
 Its because the Ambassador doesn't go down to meet the Ameri- can food ships when they come in, replied Bidault, in French. Mrs Gallery, who was acting as inter- preter conSclentiously translated Bidault's reply, even though it was critical of her husband Whereupon Mrs Bridges shot back: If the Ambassador met all the American food ships unload ing in France, he would be so busy he would have no time for any thing else"
 Note-This dinner occurred be- fore the Friendship Train. Am bassador Caffery not only met the Friend Ship when it arrived at Le Havre but worked out reception arrangements with French officials so that the French people would be sure to know the full story of the Friendship Train. Nine other

 Despite the size and nature of the Yugoslav army, though, hard-hitting Gen. Clarence Moore commander of the 88th Divis- ion, has a far better trained, bet ter equipped and tougher bunch of men. In fact, the 88th rates as one of the best divisions in the Army. They are only 5000 men, however, against 100000.

This column has been able to obtain a ccpy of this U. s. intelligence report and pertinent portions of it follow:
 All of the Yugoslav divisions are parts of the 4th Army and are composed of veterans, some of whom have been with the partisans since 1941. Sixty percent of them are members of the Communist party of Yugoslavia. The arms equipment are Of the latest type, all Soviet made, from bullet to tanks, with few insignificant ex- captions"
 The report then proceeds to list in considerable detail the offen- siye units stationed opposite Tries te, including the ''proletariat di- vision" commanded by Col Gajo Vojvodich. which is made up of the 1st Serbian proletariat bri- gade, the 3rd Krajiska proletariat brigade, the 18th Croatian proletar- fat brigade and an artillery bri- gade. Also in the Trieste army are the 7th Banjska division under Colonel Gruber, the 18th Dalma- tian offensive division under Col. Rade Ilich, the l7th Slovenian shock division under Colonel Radojica Nenezich and the 23rd Krajiska shock division under Col. Lizulj, plus the first tank divis- ion under Colonel Stupar In addi- ton to these 100000 men just across the border from Trieste.

QUESTION: What lie the deri-
.,ot;on of the word ''MatzOh?"
ANSWER: "Matzoh, 1.-THE name
oiven to the special form of bread
eaten on Passover, may have it's
origin from one of two sources.
It may have come from the He
brew word meaning to "suck out"
This idea stems from the fact
that the 'Matzoh" has the look
of strained out" bread when
compared with the usual type of
leavened bread, while "Matzoh,"
Of course, never rises.
It may also come from Hebrew
word meaning ito squeeze" or Ito
press" In this sense the MAT
zOh" appears as "flattened" or
squeezed out" bread when COM
pared to the loose and fluffy type
Of leavened bread. In line with
either of these two definitions, it
is easy to understand why the
Bible Deuteronomy 1881 refers
to the "Matzoh" as "Lechem Oni, /"
which means the Bread of the

Poor" or the Bread of Affliction."
The comparatively emaciated look
of the "Matzoh" denotes the af-
Fiction suffered by the Israelites
in Egypt.
QUESTION: What special pre-
paratiOns enter into the making
of the 'MatzOh?"
ANSWER: The two essential
elements involved are caution and
speed. The raw material-the
Wheat--must be carefully watch
ed, at least from the time that it is
taken to the mill and thenceforth.
No fresh water may touch the raw
wheat from that time onward.
After grinding, the kneading of
the dough is done only with some
sort of distilled water.
Originally, this was accomplish
ed by using water which stood
over night" From the time of
kneading, the dough is not allow
ed to remain idle: but is hurried
~ ushered into the baking ovens
after the forms have been COM
pleted and removed from the ovens
only as soon as signs of compile
ton are evident. All this is done
so as to prevent the dough from
fermenting.
