Commis sicner Of Lator Henry A Benson has advised Delegate z. L. Bartlett that a comparison of Alas Ia living costs with Seattle costs shows no justifiable reason tor abandoning the 25 per cent difieren- tiaI now paid Federal employees in Alaska. but gave sufficient oompcli- ing reasons for increasing the differ ential, especially n the Anchorage Fair anks Area.
 The Territorial Department of Lator has made a comparison o1 the Juneau Seattle food costs which re- yeals a diflerential of more than 25 per cent in food items alone. The comparison was made on the basis of U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistic pr,ces for 43 representative food items gathered at Seattle in Au- gust, 1948, with Juneau prices sur veyed during the same month.
 The 43 items priced are repre- sentative of food purchases by medium income families and the priHes are weighted according tc ther relative importance in the average Juneau family budget This Juneau market basket purchased in Seattle during the month of August was given an index number Of 100, and the same market basket pur chased in Juneau during the same period shows the following com parison:

TOO BAD

For a while it looked as though we'd be spared soap operas in tel eViSion, since five shows a week would be too much of a strain on any set of actors. (Television requires great deal of rehears- ing because actors must memOr- ize their lines instead of read ing from a scritp)
 But now we hear that a tiny Walkie -talkie device has been perfected; it is attached invisibly to an actors ear and an off-stage director can prompt him when ever he forgets his lines. Televi- sion experts think that this will cut down on the rehearsal time enough to permit daily soap-op- era programs
 However, script writers will have to keep speeches pretty short so that they can be trans hitter quickly. Thus, the Trudy Faces tragedy program may sound something like this:
 Hi, Trudy." Hi, John.' How is Mother?' She's dying" Where is Dad?' Run off" And with whom?' Ma Perkins, "Oh mel" "Oh. my" Oh, well.
