el the muddled Veterans Adminis- tration. The V. A. is the worlds largest social-welfare agency, the worlds biggest dispenser of pen- sions, the worlds biggest operator of hospitals and one of the worlds biggest banks.
 Running it is one of the most thankless jobs in the United States. Unfortunately, when men in government do good job they get little applause. Bradley did so well that he attracted scant attention until he took on the gentleman who is supposed to be able to do no wrong-the Con- mander of the American Legion and publicly whipped him.
 When Bradley first became Chief of Staff, Secretary Torres tai kept him so busy on strategic problems that he had little time to revamp the administrative side of the Army. In addition, various hangers-on, who should have had the good grace to retire, continued their chair warming.
 However, Bradley has now begun to move in with some of his own men, including Gen. Bryant Moore, former commander at Trieste. Gen. Buck" Lanham. formerly in charge of the Army's education program, and cthers.
 Bradley believes that one way to avoid war is to take all the profits out of war And at staff conferences you will hear his nasal Missouri drawl formulating plans for training green troops, outlin- ing strategy in case the worst hap pens in Berlin-yet at the same time hoping against hope that nothing will happen and we can all go fishin'."

FISH TRAP QUESTION

On October 12 the people of Alaska VIII express their opinions whether or not the fish trap shouo be abolished in the Territory.
 If is always we'll when possible. to look back on what has happened in other areas when the fisn trap was abolished.
 Fish traps were abolished in the State of Wash- ineton in 1885 as result of successful eliorts Ill., itated by sportsmen. This group had at first con- dred hacking an initiative which would have abolish ed hoth the trap and seine fishing, but it was felt there would be better chance of the initiative car no if the purse seiners and their friends could be to,red into going along The argument used with the e;ners was that by aboishing fish traps the seners would get more fish and jobs would be provided for seners.
 This is much the same argument that is being used in Alaska today.
 What happened in Washington?
 Tn inst four years one-half of the canneries were forced to close.
 The number of purse seiners decreased instead of ;rcreasno Tn 1884 there were $50 seiners in Puget sound In 1887 there 343. In 1888 only 2Ss seiners fished.
 What is the picture today?
 Only recently comes word that the same group which abolished the fish trap now wants to limit seiners to fishing only in the outside waters neyohe inc three-mile limit It that the fishing mas oown progressively worse. The sportsmen state tha ats the various fishing derbies held this year, only few salmon have been caught. In one derby tht fishermen failed to catch single fish
 It is evident that abolshing fish traps didn' help things in the State of Washington.
 Will it help in Alaska?
 Or will the next 10 years see the collapse o Alaska's only basic industry?

BATTLE OF THE BULGE

One of them was getting along with temperamental, grandstanding Field Marshal Montgomery. Brad ley had no regard for Monty's lack of nerve and reluctance to advance. But realizing Montgom- cry was a symbol to the British people, he said no word against him.
 Bradley got part of the blame for the Battle of The Bulge, and toward the end of this battle Montgomery, his rival, was given command of part of Bradley's for ces. However, the inside fact is that it was Montgomery's stooge, General Strong, who served as Bradley's chief intelligence off, cer, plus Gen. Eddie Siebert, an American, who claimed the Ger mans could not possibly attack in the Ardennes.
 Only his close friends know it,

but Bradley himself was worried before the attack, took a trip down to the Saar to talk it over with old Blood and Cuts" Pat ton. His explanation to Patton was that "to-ts.ie" had ordered him to leave the Ardennes woods ex- posed, since the Germans could not possibly attack. After 1t was all over, Bradley, like the soldier he is, took the blame for the Bat tie of The Bulge on his own shoul- ders.

public to know that when the daredevil boys of the Air Forces and the drop-the- -bomb-now men of the Navy gather at joint Chiefs of Staff meetings, there is always present one calm conscience who never forgets the 100000 G.I.'s bur jed under white crosses from Guad- alcanal to Sicily.
 Take off his uniform and Omar Bradley looks like a college pro- lessor. He is quiet, gracious. gen. erous, good-natured and hasically a very plain person. Everybody who ever worked with Bradley re- marks on his simplicity. His mess sergeant in France had orders nev- CT to use Bradley's name to wangle food for headquarters.

BRADLEY STUDIES LIKE G.I.

Bradley has so monotonously plugged away for the little guy both in war and peace that he IS almost taken for granted.
 Typical of his quiet manner IS the iact that, after being appoint ed Chief of Staff. but while wait ing to be sworn in. he took two months of refresher courses at the Pentagon side by side with other officers. They report that Brad lev was never late for class, took careful notes, shamed many a col onel or one-star general by his promptness and interest, compared with their casual attitude.
 It may have been because Omar Bradley was from Moberly, Mis- souri, that President Truman pick ed him to be Veterans Administra- tor. later Chief of Staff. Is so, this geographical coincidence was the good luck of. the American people. However. it was not luck which put Bradley at the top.

BY Virgil Gordon

At the regular meeting Of Post
No. 24S0 on Tuesday night a reso-
luton which calls upon the state
legislature to strengthen the laws
governing the State Soldiers and
Sailors Relief Commission was
adopted. The S. & S. Relief Com
mission has long been handicapped
by lack of power. All veterans
organizations are working to give
it some real authority.
Edwin l.. Schultz, of Gypsum,
was elected to membership and
John f. Robinson. of Lakeside, Il
member of Post 1872, Marblehead,
was accepted rs a transfer.
On Tuesday, June %. the post
and auxiliary members will meet
in a social meeting. 1t is hoped
that joint meetings can be held
often in the future.

ing firm Dillon, Reed and Co. He
first entered Federal service in 1910
as an administrative assistant to
the late President Roosevelt, later
becoming Undersecretary and then
Secretary Of the Navy. Mr.. Truman
named him defense secretary when
that overall unified" organization
was set-up.
There was prolonged battle be-
tween the Navy on one hand and
the Army and Air Force on the
other over the 'unification" law
and Mr.. Forrestals selection was
viewed as a concession to the sup
porters of the Navy in the congress-
ional fight.
Mr.. Forrestal's statement increas-
ed speculation over his successor.
Act Limits Choice.
The field from which President
Truman can choose new secretary
is limited to some extent by pro-
visions of the. unification' act and
the Constitution. The act states
that no person who within 10 years
has been on active duty as a COM
missioned officer of a regular COM
ponent of the armed forces-the
Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine
Corps, but not the National Guard
or reserve organizations-is eligible
for appointment to the post.
Some men mentioned in connec-
ton with the, appointment include
Louis johnson, who was appointed
Assistant Secretary of War in 1887
and who was active in the Truman
campaign: Secretary of the Army
Royal, who also was an active cam
paigner for Mr.. Truman: DR.. Karl
T. Compton, former president of
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology, now chairman of the Re-
search and Development Board and
former chairman of a presidential
commission which drafted a uni
yersal military training program;
and Secretary of the Air Force
SymingtOn.
