Business And Brass
Debats Who'll Run
Defense Economy

Washington (LPA)-In Wash
ington, Pittsburgh and New York
this week industry heads and gov
ernment officials are debating the
effect Of the mandatory control
clauses in the selective service act
upon big business voluntary allo-
cations" program.
Their discussions are muddled by
industry's inherent dislike of any
set of government controls which
could be used TO subordinate pro-
fits to national welfare. But busi-
ness knows that at this moment it
has nothing to fear from the use
Of the controls provided in the draft
law,
Possibly as sop to the steel
barons who resent being singled
out for special mention in the
conscription bill, former Secre-
tary Of War Robert A. Patterson
last week resurrected the idea Of
a "work or fight 'manpower draft.
Patterson was addressing the
graduating class Of the Armed
Forces Industrial College - the
training school for army officers
who in case of war or emergency
work on the production and pro-
curement front" Most Of his speech
praised our industrial achievements
in World War II, when the trade
unions successfully opposed the en-
actment of the same labor draft
which Patterson advocates.
The amendment which gives De-
fense Secretary James Forrestal
power to tell steel producers who
they can do business with under
the present defense program was
introduced by Rep. Walter Ploe-
ser (R., Mo- of the House Small
Business Committee. Incensed at
the steel industry's reluctance to
allocate basic steel to small firms,
Ploeser, at heart a conservative
free-enterpriser, handed the Tru-
man administration controls over
the steel industry of the sort that
the President was denied every
time he asked Congress for them.
Another section Of the new draft
law makes the acceptance Of de-
Ifense contracts mandatory for all
heavy industries, but does not set
up government controls.
Chief planning agency for the
preparedness program is the Natl
Security Resources Board. 1t is
firmly under the thumb of Defense
Secretary Forrestal and the "high
brass" Recently the Commerce
Dept has been trying to prevent
NSRB from taking over the admin
istration of the voluntary alloca-
tions" systems that Commerce has
worked out with business.
But the Ploeser amendment puts
power over the steel industry
squarely under Forrestal, a Wall
Street fayorite. Most observers be-
lieve that the control pattern that
is being evolved in one Of big bust
ness "self control" under Army
guidance. The big stick of govern
ment intervention will be kept well
in the background, and civilian
agencies of the government will
have even less to say about pro-
duction and procurement policies
than they did during World War
II.
No attempts are contemplated
to keep the price of consumer dur
able goods down. In the absence
of a firm federal drive to do so
their prices are sure to go up.
If there's anything better than

There is one thing sure about
the United States-and it is fair
ly simple.
This nation ought to grow up.
In too many things we think
with an infantile mind, as though
we lived in the days of long ago.
We are coming to have something
like stable policy in information
al affairs-until some darned fool
congressman finds himself in a
place of power where, to gain a
few headlines or satisfy grudge
or a prejudice, he goes haywire.
But we are getting less of that
than we used to get.
Of course a main reason why we
get Congressional pettifogging is
that we elect Congress to represent
districts; we do not elect them to
represent the nation.
So, too many of them play to
the ideas or the prejudices of their
districts.
This gets votes, or is intended
to, but actually it gives us too
often the lowest form of partisan
politics.

If there's anything better than
fresh homemade bread and lots
of butter, name it.

But in many other ways we are
provincial, bigoted and narrow.
The oleo tax issue has been a
battle between interests. When the
welfare of the people has been
considered it has been as a weak
after thought, generally.
Cotton seed against dairy, while
the world clamors for the products
of both.
Tidelands oil has given us the
same bickering-not what is for the
people, but which big interest can
win.
In the matter of federal aid for
education we have had the same
narrow pickering. Undoubtedly
some Congressman think they are
better off if most of the consti-
tuents have little education.
We've seen the same clash of in
terests in the medical issue.
And we've seen it in the bill to
support work in behalf of mental
health.
Of course we do move ahead, but
why must it take a generation to
beat down every prejudice and
overcome every special interest?
There is something besides greed
and ignorance that operates to
hold back many good measures. 1t
is the old bogey of states rights.
That is a most convenient peg up
on which to hang hostility to many
measures.
By golly, you just mustn't inter-
fere with the self-governing rights
of the individual states.
The states jolly well stick togeth-
er when threatened by external
war.
Why not stick together and do
together what they cannot do sep
arately in the case of threat from
internal danger?
Disease is an internal danger.
Ignorance is an internal danger.
Moreover, it is a danger bedded
most deeply in some of the states
which cry most loudly about states
rights.
You simply cannot confine dis
ease menace within any fixed geo.
graphical boundary.
Of course the definition of states
rights has changed a good deal
since 1865 and it will change some
more. But it will for a long time
continue to be a peg upon which
to hang opposition.
What some of the states do not
seem to realize is that their very
hugging of themselves to their
corner of the woods helps to per-
petuate prejudice and an unwill-
ingneSs to see the nation as a |
whole, or the world as a whole of |
which we now are, like it or not,
a tremendously powerful part.
So, we go plump for the Marshall
Plan and then try to chisel on it.
We take position on Palestine and |
then we renege. We back and fill
in Berlin and we wonder what our
policy is in many spheres and
many ways.
Anv block of votes can scare the |

 The investigation grows out of testimony of two State Department officials before Congressional committee that hundreds of secret agents from Europe's Communist countries may be used U. N cre- dentials as a means of getting in- to the United States to stir up trouble.

 TRAINING PLANS z
 BEING DISCUSSED

To aid in establishing an appren- ticeship training program in Alas l ka, Edward E. Goshen, Assistant Director of the Bureau of Appren- tioeship, U. s. Department of Lahor land Walter A. Lee, Supervisor for Washington and Alaska, are in Ju- neau conferring with officials of the U. s. Department of Labor and the Territorial Department of Labor.
 Goshen announced that they plan to employ a person in the Territory to work with labor and manage ment on the apprenticeship program in cooperation with Territorial De- partment of Labor.
 Goshen stated that it was the Bureaus aim to stimulate interest in a planned apprenticeship pro- gram for skilled trades, jointly sponsored and administered by la bor and management working in conjunction with the Territorial De- partment of Labor, in cooperation with the local U. s. Department of Labor.
 The complete program calls for work practice under the supervision of a skilled journeyman supplement- ed by related instruction. The gov- ernment program supplies technical information and help. Glasses in shop math and blue print reading were given last winter in Juneau High School by Robert Wagner as a part of the Alaska apprenticeship program.
 Goshen, who is the director of the program for IS states and Alaska, said that the program will succeed or fail in direct ratio to the amount Of cooperation received from labor and management. A successful pro gram will mean that the pualic will be able to buy better products at a lower cost, due to the increase in production.
 The two officials will fly to An chcrage and Fairbanks on Friday.

and the Federal Mediation Service will be used in labor disputes that arise in the Territory. In con- nection with this, an employee of l the Territorial Department will re- ceive training under the direction of the Federal Mediation Service in the States.
 The Alaska Safety Code, which will be issued this fall, was a fo- cal point of interest for the offi- cers of the U. s. Department of Labor The Alaska Code will be the most recently adopted in the United States and an attempt is being made to have it representa- tive of the best standards avail able today. Preliminary meetings were held in January in Juneau with representatives of industry and labor present. Another series of meetings will be held in Sep tember before the. final adoption of the Code The Code will also be submitted to experts of the U. s. Bureau of Labor.
 Republican Convention
 Beth Governor Dewey and Gov- ernor Warren expressed a keen in- terest in the future of the Terri tory Benson reported He met both candidates at the Republican Convention. Benson said that prior to Warren's nomination, the California Governor and his fam fly planned trip to Alaska this summer to take in a little hunting and fishing. Benson hasn't heard whether Warren's schedule has been altered due to his nomina- tion
 Benson visited the National Re- publican Campaign headquarters, which has just been established in Washington, D. C. He said that many Republicans are confident that the Dewey Warren ticket will carry every state north of the Ma son-Dixon Line.
 Benson added that Washington Officialdom was concerned about the survey being made by the Hoover Committee on govern mental reorganization, which will result in the elimination of many overlapping functions of govern ment. He said that the concern was deepened by the fact that Dewey and Warren have outstand- ing records for efficient admins tration in state governments.

Florida Teaches Youth
Forestry Fundamentals

Thirteen years ago. Florida for
example, began a forestry training
camp for her Future Farmers OF
America members. On August l
of this year, some 200 members
of the FLA attended a two week
camp at Camp O'Leno, about so
miles west of Jacksonville, where
they were taught, in the forest, the
fundamentals of good forest prac-
tees.
The first week was for begin
ners who had had no previous for
estry background; the second week
was for those who had attended a
previous camp.
During the first period they were
taught fundamentals Of gum farm
ing-how to secure naval stores
such as turpentine and rosin from
slash and long-leaf pines; how to
identify the commercially valuable
trees and their use; how to farm
forests as they farm cotton and
other crops; how to protect their
woodlots from fire; how to thin
their stands of trees by cutting out
the crooked. diseased, and other

Program Extends
To Other States

Nor is Florida the only state TAX
ing an interest in this new think
ing regarding trees and youth.
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Loui-
siana, North Carolina, and Virginia
staged similar camps this year.
FLA or Al club members were
the lucky youngsters, depending on
which group the state forestry
agency is cooperating with at the
time.
The purpose, of course, is not to
turn out foresters. That would be
impossible in two weeks. But
camps can build up an effective in
terest in growing a cash crop by
growing trees.
This year more than 600 youths
from the seven states attended
these camps, with all expenses paid
by the forest industries.
This is where private industry
has stepped into the picture. On
the modern theory that our future
timber supply must come from
what we grow, not as in the past
from what we found on the land,
the Southern Pulpwood association,
composed of southern pulp and pa
per industry members, with the CO.
operation of the Southern Pine as
ISOLATION, pioneered in financing
these and similar camps.
The sum total Of this whole prof
ect adds up to this: Industry has
joined forces with state agencies
to interest youth in becoming sue
cessful Tree Farmers Of America,
and to turn to account what has
been up to recently a wasteful
sideline on the farms-a sideline
which must supply an important
part Of Americas current and fu'
ture vital lumber needs.

The Picture Changes

TTNCENSORED DISPATCHES
~ from behind the iron curtain
have increased the fear that Russia
may be ready for war now.
Hitherto diplomats felt certain
that the Soviet did not want war
for at least two or three years
until she could develop the A-bomb.
But here are some developments
which have taken place behind the
iron curtain.
= The Communist contr oiled
L. Czech government has received
orders from Moscow to empty a
large number of army barracks in
western Czechoslovakia in prepara-
ton for the early arrival Of large
Russian troop concentrations. It's
important to remember that Czech
oslovakia is adjacent to the Amer
lean zone of Germany. If this report
is accurate, the Red army is NOV
ing up units to face U. S. troops in
the American zone.
= The Russians have ordered
4. thousands of bilingual signposts
erected all the way from the Soviet
border to the German border for
use of Red army divisions. Word
that these signposts are being set
up has leaked out through the
Czech underground. They all point
in the direction of Berlin and Paris.
, Russia has occupied ID new
). air bases in eastern Germany,
west of the Soviet border. Some Of
these air bases are stated with
the Russian version of the B-29,
copied from B-29s forced down in
Siberia during the war.
4 Russia has quietly summoned
r. home for consultation some Of
the most trusted diplomats in it's
foreign service, leaving relative
second-stringers in charge Of its
embassies.
2 Word has gone out from
j. Moscow for the immediate
purge of all dissident and weak
elements in the Communist party
throughout Europe. This means
any Communist who doesn't toe
the Moscow line unlinchingly is to
be ousted. This order repeatedly
has the blessing of Premier Stain.
1t is interpreted to mean that the
Kremlin is gearing for final show
down.
