:. TRAINING WILL REATCWATE NINE COMBA1

Early reactivation of nine com bat ships-an aircraft carrier and eight destroyers now assigned to reserve fleets-to permit intensifi- cation of the Navy's antisubma- rine warfare training program was announced recently by Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan.
 Under the stepped up program the USS Cabot, light aircraft car rier of the 11.0OO-ton Independence class will be reactivated beginning October l, 1948, and eight 2,2OO- ton destroyers will be reactivated beginning in January 1949
 The addition of the nine ships to the active fleet will be made possible by the inactivation be- ginning about September l of the USS Iowa, 45,0OO-ton battleship now assigned to the Pacific Fleet. This will leave the USS Missouri as the only battleship in the ac- tive fleet

 The Iowa, which is being as signed to the Pacific Reserve Fleet, was commissioned at a time when the Navy was locked in battle to the finish with an adversary t h at possessed such super crdreadnaughts as the Yanlato and the Musashi. These Japanese ships were larger and carried heavier guns than any ships ever built.

need for intensification of the Navy's antisubmarine warfare training program. A prime factor influencing the rapidly changing concepts of antisubmarine warfare has been the development of sub- marines capable of higher sub- merged speeds and longer periods of submergence than the U-boats of the last war.
 The Navy marshalled hunter killer groups made up of aircraft carriers and escorting destroyers and built hundreds of specific con- voy duty ships to meet and over come Germany's submarine of- fensive during the battle of the Atlantic. During the peak of the Atlantic campaign more than 350,- 900 men in 12,6l4 ocean-going Navy ships and a larger number in aircraft anti-submarine warfare stations ashore and thousands of smaller craft were engaged in bat tie against U-boats In addition. the British had comparable num- be:s engaged in the battle of the Atlantic.

FINAL SERMON TO BE GIVEN SUNDAY BY REV. SKIDMORE

Rev. Wyburn Skidmore will preach his farewell message to- morrow at the Seward Memorial Church before leaving for Ketchi- kan by plane Tuesday to become pastor of t h e First Methodist Church there.
 The Skidmores returned on the Denali Wednesday from Ketchi- kan where they attended the an- nual Methodist Mission Confer ence. There the decision to trans fer Rev. Skidmore was made by representatives of the bishop and the mission board.
 Since Rev. Skidmore became pastor here three years ago mem- bership in the church has tripled. The youth fellowship, Boy and Girl Scout troops and other youth groups have been formed under the auspices of the church as we'll as new adult recreational projects such as the monthly fellowship dinner for newcomers. Under the direction of Mrs. Skidmore the choir has been musical inspira- tion to the congregation. During the past two years the new Meth odist church building has been brought in from the army area, the cornerstone laid, and the base ,ment almost completed as com- munity recreation hall.
 Although the Skidmores will be great loss to Seward, their many friends here wish them well at their post at Ketchikan where the church has a membership of over 300.
 Replacing Rev. Skidmroe will be Rev. Robert Treat who has been pastor of the Methodist Church in Juneau for the past four years.
 According to Rev. Skidmore the new pastor is known in Juneau as progressive and was instru- mental in establishing church in Douglas He is graduate of the Garrett Seminary in Evanston, Indiana and came originally to Alaska from Michigan. He has been especially active in Boy Scout work in the territory.
 Rev. and Mrs. Treat and their small daughter, Mary Margaret, are vacationing at present in Michigan and Ohio and are ex- pected to arrive in Seward the first of November.
 Tonight at six o'clock members and friends of the church are in- vited to a potluck dinner in the church basement honoriag tn Skidmores.

Rehabilitation Work On Alaska RR Goes Ahead

School bells will be breaking up some Alaska Railroad work gangs late this summer.
 That's because many of them have healthy sprinkling of ex- CTS on summer leave from state side schools and the University of Alaska. M any section foremen laud their "GT' help, maintaining that the bos made some of the best section men they've ever had.
 One gang who won't be affected at all by the new semester recall to school is the section gang at Cantwell, 200 miles north of An chorage. Cantwell native women have been working as section hands since the railroad went into operation. Descendants of tribe that left the Alaska coast over 300 years ago, the native women last year helped the Cantwell crew win the honor of the best maintained section on the line.
 Workmen this summer are busy on Alaska Railroad rehabilitation work amounting to close to $l1,- 100000 and extending from An chorage to Fairbanks. In addition, the Alaska Railroad has been oc- cupied with it's own regular sum- ner "house work" of maintenance and rebuilding.
 Largest amount of the mainten- ance work on the track is per- formed by the section gangs. There is section gang to work about every ten-mile stretch.
 Backbone of the building and maintenance work at stations along the line are the bridge and building gangs. There are 12 such crews. They use outfit cars which carry supplies, equipment, food, and contain their living quarters. Outfit cars house equipment re- pair shops and even blacksmith shops. The B and B gangs move from point to point as work is needed. The gangs are drafted" for emergency jobs. Three B and B crews worked round-the-clock schedules to repair the Kashwitna River bridge last week.
 Foremen of the 12 gangs are as follows: No. l, Chris Clausen; No. 2, Ernie Akeson; No. 3, Roy Thomas; No. 4, Clarence Nolan; No. 5, Jack Hansen; No. 6, Arrel Walters; No. 2, Clifford McAdams; No. 8, George McCeig; No. g, AL bert eNilsen; No. 10, Hugh Savage; No. II, eNls Belpheim; and No. l2, ". B. Wilson.
 A typical round of duty" was performed recently by Clarence Nolan and his gang at Curry. Nolan had 16 men and 18 outfit cars, They practically renovated inc community. Their work in- cluded variety of jobs, ranging from the installation of two 75- isilowatt power generators and a new power plant to repair at the Curry Hotel.
 They re-laid cable and a new steel cinder line from the boiler plant. They put up seven Strand steel huts for housing. They erect ed new telephone pole line be- hind the houses. They raised the annex of the Curry Hotel, patched the roof, and helped put in the new lunch counter. They repaired the roundhouse, and installed a rev motor in the "stiff leg" They put up 42-foot high, 25,O00-gallon capacity diesel oil storage tank in the terminal yards. That an d plenty of minor repair jobs.
 Work is progressing elsewhere along the rail line on contracts

Froth was forming on the
speakers lips.
He had reached his collec-
tion-spiel and his anti-Semitic
abuse was obscene, slightly
hysterical.
In the dimly-lighted parlor,
the little audience of middle
aged women and elderly men
leaned forward, listening in
tently. Their heads nodded in
agreement, their eyeglasses
glinted with reflections from
the floor-lamps.
This was what they had
come to hear. 1t was old stuff,
but it made them feel good,
gave them somebody to blame
for their frustrated lives.
There was a fumbling in
pockets and handbags for
coins, bills.
The ch airla dy looked
around at the audience. She
watched the nervous pleasure
in their faces and was glad
she had been able to bring
this spirited young speaker.
And then she reflected sadly
that he deserved a bigger
audience. Each week the meet
ings in her parlor grew small
er; there were fewer and
fewer faces.
When the speaker was fin
ished and the collection had
been taken, the chairlady had
her biggest weekly disappoint-
ment. Only a sprinkling of
coins, a coupe of single bills.
Bedraggled little meetings
like this one are still taking
place throughout the country,
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1948-12-31

although, fortunately, they
are growing fewer in num-
Der. Attendance is low, en-
thusiasm is not sustained,
the collections are pitiful.
There are, of course,
basic social reasons for this
apathy to the hate-mongers.
The country is prosperous,
employment is at a record
high. But it isn't prosperity
alone that's taking the starch
out of the anti-Semitic under
ground. The values of democ-
racy, religious equality, are
being hammered home to the
American people and are de-
priving the hatemongers of
their audience. Despite the
headline attention that recent
events have given the Jews,
there has been an actual de-
crease in organized anti
Semitism in America.
Credit for this, in large
measure, must go to our own
two great defense agencies
the American Jewish Com
mittee and the Anti-Defama-
tion League of B'nai Birth.
With funds supplies by the
Joint Defense Appeal, these
two great organizations are
bringing home the truths of
democracy to the American
people by every means of
communication known to So
cial science-radio, advertis-
ing, books, newspapers, mag
azines.
Through the church and
schools, in veterans posts and
social clubs, before business
groups and labor organiza-
tions, the agencies of the
IDA are determined to strike
at the roots of anti-Semitism.
