HAY Y
SEASON DELAYED

We must report bad news, or
good news to hay fever sufferers.
We really don't know whether
the news is good or bad. It's good
because the usual August Is de-
but of hay fever season is being
delayed this year because of the
dry weather.
But it's bad because the rag
weed plant will pollute the atmos-
phere with the pollen grain which
is so irritating to suffers ere
many more days pass in oblivion.
The air will be filled up with
them until the first frost.
Generally suffering commences
whin so grains per cubic yard of
atmosphere is the count. The av-
erage for Dayton in "mid-seas-
on" is 100.
Unfortunately there is not
much more we can do but OF
our condolences to those destain-
ed to suffer the irritating affects
of h~ayfever.

DON NEWCOMBE PITCHES
NO-RUN N-HIT AGAINST
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Steadily making his way into
the majors, Don Newcombe, star
Negro hurler of the Montreal
Royals entered the hall of fame
in the triple A class by hurting a
no run, no-hit game Sunday
against the Toronto Maple Leaf
club of the International league.
Don has pitched and won 16
games against only a loses this
season with the Royals. The feat
of Don makes him a sure candi-
date for the Brooklyn Dodgers
before the end of the season.
Just recently, another Brooklyn
farm hurler, Dan Bankhead, of
the Nashua club of the New Eng
land League performed the same
feat of pitching a no-hitter for
his club. The Royals are leading
the international league with a
IA game margin and most of the
credit goes to Newcombe.

er, whatever affects the Negro
in the Commonwealth of Ohio,
ultimately will affect all the cit
liens of the state"
The substance of DR.. Hills
criticism of the dual system now
in operation is that it is an add
ed burden on the taxpayers of
the state to support a state col
lege which duplicates in many
cases the work done at WILDER
force University. The only rea
son he can see for another state
college is to drape Jim Crow on
the Negro people with the sub
terfuge of a clothier trying to
sell a cheap suit to an unsuspect-
ing customer.
Hill takes note of the fact that
part of the criticism directed
against the church administration
was attributed to Bishop Ran
som. He also notes that Ransom
was placed on the inactive list,
but that the "Pharasiac, self
righteous, sanctimonious tools of
the Commonwealth of Ohio" have
not confessed their Sins and
continue to strut with pomp and
ceremony" He mentions no

ting, but obviously he means At

TANKS, DIMAGGI0 DISCUSSING PAY
 FOR NEXT SEASON

NEW YORK, Jan. 3-4R- The New York Yankees and Joe Di- Maggie have opened negotiations cn the salary the star outfielder is to receive for the l94o season.
 But just how far apart they are at this point can only be a matter of conjecture Both parties have agreed to maintain strict silence until final agreement is reached, Club Secretary Arthur (Red Pat terson said yesterday.
 Patterson admitted negotiations were underway ill replying, in a statement from the Yankee offices. to a report that DiMaggio was de- manding S75,000 for his 1948 con- tract.
 The Yankees said the state ment, do not deny that they have entered into contract negotiations with DiMaggio and others. It has been mutually agreed by DiMaggio and General Manager George Weiss that no publicity will be given on any details. The Yankees, therefore, have no comment to make on reports mentioning spe- cific salary terms.

Ring Around d ROuble
Washington Post)

The Voice of America" which everybody knows, is actually the voice of the Department of State and solitary vehicle of counterpropaganda in Europe has scooped and startled all the papers of the world with the story of buyers panic in Soviet Russia The story is that rumors of an impending devauation of the rouble have precpi tated a run on shops and savings banks in all the Russian cities. Everywhere, it seems, shelves have been stripped bare by purchasers eager to convert currency any kind of durable goods such as urs iewelry expensive books and Chinese In Moscow the famous Mostorg the government depart ment store and all its branches said to have been closed, ostensbly for repairs.
 Several mysteries in connection with this story need it seems to us to be cleared One is why all
 the stores were closed the first symptoms of the buyers panic. If a tenth of what we have heard about vigilance and efficiency of the Soviet secret police is credible it would have been great trouble to clear the premises and to disperse the customers It is conceivable of to those who know some thing of the ways of bureaucracy that nobody could be found with enough to give the order and that very high-ups were too much preoccuped with their cold war to be of the panic. But this would indicate that the rmors about the deVeuatlon of the rouble were unfounded
 Such devaluatons to be sure are easily possible in any completely controlled economy and they are certainly nothing new in Russia. Usually however, they have been put into effect without any warning ana great precautions have been taken to prevent information leaking out in advance In the price decree of September 1946 example the purchasing value of the roube arbitrarily cut i'll half over night. But if the government were planning to move in an opposite direction that is to increase the value of the rouble the rumors become comprehensive, since it would be to advantage of the government to call in as many of them possible n advance ot the decree.
 There remains another possibility. Rumormonger- ing is a we'll tested tactic of propaganda which the Communists have exploited with considerable skill Is if possible then that our propaganda straegsts have resolved to wage little war Of nerves on thelr own account? Before attempting to answer, we had hotter wait to see what else may develop in con- necton with this Russian buyers panic. Meanwhile we may be assured that in age of controlled eco- nomies and controlled news story is improbable merely because it is fantastic.

 ROUNDUP

By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-lR- When the National Collegiate A. big wigs start their discussion of the purity" code next week, somebody is bound to point at the Pacific Coast conferences Rose Bowl rec ord for the past three games and say: Look"
 Those three shellackings the westerners have taken probably stem directly rom the celebrated "Athertonizing of the conference.
 Football declined everywhere dur ing the war, bit due to intensive application of the purity idea, it hasn't made a comeback on the Pacific slope.
 At the other extreme, the college baseball coaches will continue their effort to bring little less purity into their game. Their complaint is that the professional clubs grab every boy who isn't obviously a strict amateur.

strings should think that the Presidents budget too big would be to joint resolution instructing the Budget Bureau to prepare and present alter nate budget of lesser amount determined by Con- gress. Otherwise Congress will again get lost in a swamp of detail.
 But timing in respect to tax changes should not be evacuated exclusively from the standpoint of the convenience of politicians temporarily in charge of the government.
 Timing in terms of the life experience of indi- vidual citizens should also be considered
 While it is simple to say now is not the time, it should not be forgotten that for citizens approaching the evening of their careers it is never for them to win competence to make them Independent in their old age If politicians defer the task of making a more scientific approach to fiscal matters it will be too late for whole generation)

Merrvle Stanley Rukeyser. economic commentator for International News Service believes that now IS the time for the Federal to cut taxes Says Rukeyser:
 If keynesian manipulation of money rates down ward was timely and suitable in 1884 when unemploy- nent was rife there is certainly warrant for con- tinuing such narcotics during the nflatonary boom of late 1947.
 Similarly. if while we faced tough enemies in total warfare on both oceans Congress elected temporarily to finance war through confiscatory tax rates in the middle and upper brackets. certainly that IS no ust- fication for freezing such destructive rates two ana half after the shooting phase of the war
 In the clash between the eighteth Congress domi- mated by the opposing party, and the Truman ad-
 nisration the President has repeatedly raised the issue of timing in the matter of revision downwafo of Federal personal income taxes.
 MT Truman has indicated that tax reduction no" would be inopportune.
 Rep Harold Knutson ,(R.. Mlnn) who for the thlrd time will seek tax reduction despite the Presi- dents opposition takes different view.
 The economic problems C. governme15 are many sided.
 Usually the timing of tax changes is viewed solely from the standpoint of the fiscal convenience of the government While opponents of tax reduction argue that reduction would be inflationary through increasing the net spendable income, or take home pay of the public advocates of tax reduction insist that the change would merely shift the right to Speno from bureaucrats to citizens This latter argument that tax reduction be synchronlzeo wlt reduction in total spending
 If this objective of reduction in total spending is to be achieved in face of the Marshall Plan econ- minded Congressmen ought to ask what items are to be cut of the budget which President lru- man will present next month well as which ones will be included

and fowl with Tito, they make speciality of sizing up MoscoWs next moves. They have to. For if they guess wrong they may be in the Soviet soup.
 The Russian Politburo, claims the Moscow specialists, believes Tn shifting strategy When it fails with one move, it makes a light ming change to another. Thus, when the Truman Plan was adopt ed and U. s. advisers and money poured into Greece, Moscow ans wered by suddenly shifting to Hun gary. There it kicked out the anti Communists, freely elected government and set up a puppet government of it's own.
 Next, Moscow strategy centered on France and Italy and those countries were given a hot dose of politically inspired strikes. When this strategy failed, Moscow shiited-only last week-back to Greece. Obviously, the new Com munist republic of Greece is going to get most of Moscows attention for a while, and the United States is going to be the recipient of all sorts of resultant headaches.
 But simultaneously the Soviet experts also predict that shenani- gans are brewing in Austria. Just how soon the Russians will move to set up their own puppet gov- errment in their part of Austria is only a guess, but it's sure to come fairly soon. The gentlemen in Moscow believe in versatility

HOW TO PREVENT WAR

There was something quite touching about the ceremony Of unloading the first Italian Friend Ship in the bombed-out city of Naples. There were piles of rubble On one side, gutted buildings on the other and old German bomb shelters in front. And around the dock were Italian school children, crowding, waving flags and shout ing, Viva America!"
 Up above the harbor, scarcely discernable through the clouds, lowered Mount Vesuvius. In the harbor itself a crew of 400 steve dores had worked all day Sunday to unload the ships and stevedores aren't easily persuaded to work on Sundays in this part of the world. The cheering children, the grim, bombed-out buildings all seemed like a new Italy smiling and strug- gling to lift itself out of the trag- ic blunders of the past
 I couldn't help but remember as I watched the crowd that it was only two brief years ago that the United States and Italy were at war and that il, despite the bit terness of war, people can get to- gether with people and help each other as Americans are now help ing the people of Italy, then may be that's one very important way to prevent war in the future.

ORLANDO TOASTS U. s.

Sprightly 87-year-old ex-Premier Vittorio Orlando, Italian delegate to the 1918 peace conference and revered elder statesman of Italy, proposed a toast to the United States and the Friendship Train.
 friendship he said at private dinner, lis different from love. Love sometimes goes back on you, is not always reciprocated. But friend ship never.
 And the United States" he con- tinued, never goes back on you. When American troops came to France in 1917, some Allied officers looked at them and remarked that they could not stand up in battle. But they won the war. Later" said Orlando, I was in New York with Colonel House and we passed the George Washington bridge. I was amazed at it's
 length and height.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-01-03

Oh replied Coloned House, we will build a better one And not cnly have you built bigger and better bridges, but when the American Army came back to Eu- rope in the last war it was far, far better than the Army of 1917- 1918.
 80" concluded the 87-year-old Italian statesman. Heres to American friendship you can always rely on it and it gets bet ter with every year

DECISION TO LICENSE FISH TRAPS IN ALASKA
 WATERS TO BE DELAYED

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3l.--t8 A decision on a bill to license fish traps in Alaskan waters will be de- layed until a joint Congressional Committee can study carefully it's terms.
 Senator Moore CR-Okla), Chair man of the Committee, said last night he did not intend to rush. He said he and other members of the Committee wanted to sutdy all testi- mony.
 A fisherman in the business for 30 years told the Committee today he could solve what to do with legis- lation for them.
 "Toss it overheard" c. Chester Carlson of Cordoya, advised the Committee Give 1t to the deep sea That is where it belongs"
 The Governments control of AL aska came in for sharp questioning by Rep. Preston tD-Ga).
 He asked a witness if it was cor rect the Government owned nearly 99 percent of the land in the Terri tory.
 When assured the figure was cor rect Preston said there is no pos sibility of Alaska succeeding under statehood unless we get the land out of Federal control
 The witness. A. A. owen of kod- iak, a fisherman, said he agreed with Preston and said the Interior Department, which administers the Territory has too much power.
 He said he believed that much of the trouble over aboriginal rights has grown up under encouragement from department officials.
 He said Alaskan Indians don't have to be looked after,' because they are educated and amply able to take care of themselves. James J. Curry, an attorney re- presenting the Indian of Southeast Alaska, filed statement with the committee in which he argued the present owners of the fish trap sites are not entitled to them.
 First" he said. because the pre- sent operators climbed to their pre- sent monopolistic ownership by un- scrupulous means, payment of mon- ies to federal officials and their friends and other unsayory uses of pressure and secondly because they have been repaid their investment many times over

of Newsprint Mills in Alaska Is Urged;
 Senaie Committee Reports

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-lR- A Senate Committee yesterday advised small and medium-sized U. s. news papers to finance news-print mills in Alaska comparatively to supply their demands
 The report said.
 The subcommittee recommends that until such questions have been determined, small and medium-siz- ed newspapers, who are the princi- pal sufferers from lack of news print, should give serious considera- tion to banding together in a coop erative enterprise-perhaps even to the extent of participation in the financing of newsprint mill. or newsprint mills. in Alaska, to assure themselves a steady source of sup ply.
 "The subcommittee recognizes there are great difficulties in work ing cut such venture, but feels that it is a challenge to the ability Of free enterprise to solve it's own prohlem-a challenge which free en- terprise and free press can not af- ford to ignore"
 The group subcommittee of the Senate Small Business Committee, said development of the newsprint industry and the Territory generally is dependent up vastly improved transportation facilities"
 The committee includes Senator Cain (R-Wash).
 They reported fears in Alaska that newsprint production might result in discharge of acid into the waters, thus harming the fishing industry. They said care must be exercised to prevent this.
 The Senators recommended care ful survey of housing conditions in the Territory and complete study of power possibilities by the Feder- al Power Commission. It proposed a plan be drawn up for recruitment of labor for the proposed paper mills.
 The Committee said 1t has con- cludad that no appreciable amount uf pulp wood can be produced from the Tongass National Forest until at least the spring of 1851.
