organizing the Friendship Train the Italian Premier said Hitler and Benito Mussolini commit ted a grave error when they attri- buted the possibility of American intervention to economic consid- erations alone
 During a parade up Broadway to the City Hall in New York l was struck by the view of little old church set, with it's church yard, just off Wall Street, the fi- nancial center of the world. In this narrow space, that little church had resisted and stemmed the onrush of business This contrast is synbolical of American civiliza- tion and still has within it the ideals of it's founders Those ideals restrain the material elements 0! economic life today.
 The Friendship Train shows that Democracy and liberty car bring to the surface what is best in man and, Tor supplying us with this evidence, we thank you l ask you to convey back to your people the very warmest expres- sions of cur lasting gratitude. You MT. Pearson. are best qualified to tell them simply and sincerely how deep these feelings are"

PROPOSED ALASKA LEGISLATION

Territorial officials who pushing for the passage of legislation in the Congress to allow Can adian ships carry passengers and freight from the States to Alaska will find that they bucking up against the traditional American policy of doing every thing possible support strong American nerchant marine in peacetime that a strong American mer- chant marine will be available for emergency in time of
 While it is impossible to believe that there are those who would promote policy which would ef- fectively reduce American merchant marine poten- tia in Alaska there is little question but what the proposed amendments to the Act of 1886 and the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 would accomplish this undesirable end.
 The value of a strong merchant marine in Alaska was only too recently demonstrated in World War II when American flag ships serving Alaska were thrown into the gap to a valuable Il months in the Alaskan defense program before United States ship building program produced results.
 It is the belief of American shipping men in the Alaskan trade that competition from Canadian ships, using cheap labor and skimming the cream of the trade would drive the American lines out of business or at least out of Alaska
 This is the main reason behind the U. s. Maritime Commissions opposition to the proposed legislation

DE GASPERI THANKS AMERICANS A

Later, at Campidogho Square, beside the statue of Marcus Aurel- jus, the mayor of Rome thanked the American people for their gen. ercsity while Premier Alcide De Gasperi and Foreign Minister Car los Sforza applauded But due to diplomatic niceties, Premier De Gasperi could not speak at the Campidoglio, since this is Rome's City Hall and the sanctuary of the mayor. Later, however, De Gasperi entertained all those con- nected with the Friendship Train at his official home. where he spoke eloquently.

INEpT PUBLIC RELATIONS

The New York Herald Tribune's William Atwood has just publish ed an interesting report from Ar soli, Italy, entitled No One Knows Who Sent The Foods" In it he tells how, thanks to American aid, 2,O00 people in one Italian village are eating better and are warm CT than at any time since the war but the local mayor is Commun- ist and he tells the people that the American food which he dis tributes is from Stalin, while the people think the food distributed by the church groups is from the Vatican. Nobody gives any credit to the United States.
 Since last July, Italy has receiv- ed 200 shiploads of gift food from the United States and Ambassador James C. Dunn has relgiously met many of these ships in order to inn press upon the people the fact that the food comes from the United States However, it is Att woods conclusion that they still realize this only vaguely and that. in the smaller towns at least, the Vatican and Stalin are still getting the major credit.
 Part of this misunderstanding is due to the fact that the U. s. wheat is turned over to the Ital- ian government for distribution, which is probably the only mach inery possible for bulk handling. but part is due also to the nickle- nursing of Congressman John Ta- Der and his COP colleagues who cut the heart out of the State

Departments propaganda program. And finally it's due to some of the most inept public relations imaginable.
 For instance, when the United States recently turned over to Italy p Italian warships given the Uni ted States by terms of the peace treaty, it was big news back in the United States but got scant notice in the Italian press because no che took the trouble to dig up the names of the vessels or the fascinating background relating to them. Later, John Secondart the editor of the Rome American, man. aged to unearth the fact that the Conte Grande, one of Italy's prize passenger vessels, actually had been allocated to Brazil and that the U. S. Government paid $60 0OO,0O0 to Brazil to get the ship back and give it to Italy. The Italian people, however, knew mo- thing about this. No one in the American government took tie trouble to inform them

ITALIANS PRINT POSTERS

ITALIANS PRINT POSTERS
 One hundred and fifty big trucks, draped with Italian and American flags, left the Rome railroad station during my last day in Rome to drive slowly up the historic Campidoglio. In the trucks were bags of flour, some marked with greetings from Fort Worth, Texas; some with greet ings from Buffalo, New York, Rich mond, Va, and from Jackson county, Missouri-President Tru- mans home-and from scores of other cities and towns in the U. s.
 On the sides of the trucks were big posters, showing a picture of the Friendship Train in the Uni ted States with message in the Italian language. We had these posters especially printed in the United States and even brought along brushes, varnish, paste and adhesive tape to guarantee their use However, the Italians went our brushes, varnish, paste and adhesive tape one better and print ed some excellent posters of their own. The trucks had been loaded from the first Friendship Train arriving at Naples and Rome and the long line of them parading through the city attracted throngs in the streets.

The second game proved to be a spectators pitching duel between Mark Jensen of Douglas and Bud Phelps of the Moose, but due to superior fielding and base handling the Moosemen walked away with a 10-1 victory Although strike out honors were very close, with Phelps flaming nine Douglas men while eight of his teammates took the three counts from Jensen, the Moose pitcher gave up only two hits while Jensen was rapped for seven telling clouts.
 The first two innings of the game was fairly even, but begin ming with the third stanza, the Moosemen caught their stride and rounded the sacks with compara- tive ease. Five runs were scored in the fifth by Moose batters, after which team manager Hollo- way sent in his troop of reserves. Jensen stopped the rally in the

MENDENHALL RIFLE RANCE IS CLOSED;
 CLEANING, REPAIRS

A. shooters in the Gastineau Channel area are asked to refrain from using the Mendenhall rifle range between the hours of am. and pm. each day until further notice.
 The Forest Service crews are max ing much needed repairs to the range and facilities this next week.
 Thursday, May 13, all members oi the Juneau Rifle and Pistol Club will meet at the Mendenhall range and a general clean up of the grounds and range house will be in order. The target frames will also get new canvas covers thus making tack hammers and garden rakes come in handy
 The Juneau Riflr and Pistol Cup was granted the Custody of the range last year by the U. S. Forest Ser vice and groups ether than the rifle club wishing to use the range and targets should contact A. w. Boddy or John Osborne.
 This weekend several members of the club made an inspection of the range and it was found that every thing had gone through the winter in fair shape, except for the many bottles that were found broken in the area of the range house, especi- ally in the front of the house it's self This not only makes an"un- slightly mess" but is dangerous to the patron using the rifle range. Therefore it is requested that any enc using the range or the property please refrain from breaking bottles on or near it.
 Mendenhall Range is one of the many things people of the Gasti- neau Channel area can show with pride and it is probably the only range in the world with such a spec tacular setting. It is hoped that not only the members of the club will take pride in keeping it presentable but other persons using the area will shcw respect for those who enjoy the pastime of target practice as we'll
 During the summer many tourists and men of the armed forces will visit the range and surely none of the people of the Channel area want to spoil the picture by leaving the remains of a party strewn about the club grounds. So whether you are a member or just happen to drop in to sight in your rifle it is urged that you take great pride in assisting with the policing of the

 NEW YORK, May 10-tR-The Metropolitan Collegiate Baseball Conference deserves congratulations for disqualifying seven players on three teams as being slightly fetched by professionalism That's a tough decision to make when they're trying to build up college baseball.
 Leslie O'Connor, Chicago White Sox Vice President, rates Cleveland $ Bob Teller as the No. 1 gate attrac- tion in the American League :. Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio are tied for second in O'Connor $ estimation, and Hal NeWhouser is next-but far behind the top three.
 Joe Vella, manager of Gus Lesne- vich, sadly contends that Jersey Joe Walcott will take the Heavy weight Title from Joe Louis when they meet again. You can't get in shape without hard fights and Louis couldn't get any hard fights says Vella. Maybe Gus could have licked him if he'd been in there instead ot Walcott."
