BRADLEY's REAL STATEMENT

Later. however, the President learned the real facts about Gen. eral Bradley's statement and he felt better. The Chief of Staff had left for Fort Knox, Ky, with out seeing the afternoon papers in which Truman issued his seg.ega- tion order. Next day Bradley got up at 6 a.m., and at 7:30 went into the conference at which he made his segregation remark-again without reading the papers.
 Actually, Bradley's remark about segregation was taken out of con- text, since most of the conference dealt with improving human rela- tionships in the Army between all groups. One of the most in- teresting speeches was made by Texas-born Maj. Gen. Roderick Allen, who told about the ex- cellent relations btween White and Colored troops in his 3rd Armor- ed Division.
 General Allen gave credit for that cooperation to his Negro chaplain, Capt Osborne E. Scott, and to his Negro hostess, Margaret Collier, the daughter of regular Army sergeant in the 24th In- fanry, a ~lous Negro regiment.

NEW ERA FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA

A thirty-year planned development in Southeast Alaska has been realized It is the start of the pup and paper industry in this section of Alaska The announcement of this achievement was made yesterday in acceptance of the bid of the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper Co., by the Forest Service, to establish paper industry in Alaska which has agreed to buy one blon and half cubic feet of pulp timber at Wards Cove six miles north of Ketchikan.
 This means the establishment of pulp mill cost ing between twenty and thirty million dollars pro- ducing l5O tons of pulp day within three years 3oo tons day in five years and 525 tons day ultimately Surveys have already started at the Wards Cove site of the pulp and paper mill.
 small city will ultimately result and from l,5oo to 2OOo men will be employed Work properly on the mill will probably begin next summer and it may take three years to finish the plant according to statements made by officials of the company
 ANYWAY a new is opened in Southeast Alaska and congratulations extended the Forest Service to B Frank Hentzleman, who has been persistenty and conscentiously working on the development, ana to the city of Ketchikan which will be benefited
 Yesterday was great day for all of Southeast Alaska and according to advices received by The Empire the Forest Service will shortly be asked to sell for pulp and paper purposes, other sections oi timber land in this section.

Six-Cent Air Mail
Washington Postl

Washington Post)
 It was scarcely to be expected that the s450 pay raise for postal employees voted by Congress could be accomplished without some increase in cost, to the n,,bljc It may be doubted however, that the ex- peden tackng increase in postal rates onto the pay-rase bill the proper way to approach the problem Although the rate changes considered in committee last year they not debated on their merits by Congress whole Instead, they passed almost ,lrnoticed in the eleventh-hour scramble As result since July the public has been paying 6 cents an ounce air mail and Is cents for special delivery an and cents respectively over previous charges
 Ostensiby there is justification for these changes During fiscal 1947 before the pay increases the Post office showed deficit of million dollars on special da,;yerv service and nearly l9 million on air mail. There is a gimmck however, in the air-mail figure The Postoffce Department is charged With paylng subsidies to the arlnes at rates set by the Civil Aero nautics Board there is breakdown as to what is actually the cost carrying the mail and what IS Sub- sidv There is good to believe that the former s-cent rate actually coverered the ar-mai The same problem enters into the newly authorized air marcel post rates which set arbitrarily without relation to haulage cost
 The hike in air-mail rates is particularly vexatious at this time because of many recent changes Before the war the charge cents during the war cents Since then it has been set at cents, then cents, and now cents again The 6-8-6-56 sequence sounds more like football signals than supposedly stable postage rate structure Aside from the inconvenience the new change will added costs in printing new stamps and changing posters which have been drawn I'D emphasizing the standard rate of nickel Apout the only consolation will be for those persons who never manage to have airrna stamps with them ana habtuallv nut on two threes anyhow The confusion emphasizes the anomaly of payment system tnat camouflages air-mail service charges with supsioy Surely the public has right to an honest accounting as to what paying to keep the airlnes m ousness

HERSHEY'S DRAFT
 PLANS

Not all the details have been released officially yet, but Selective Service Director Lewis Hershey gave a brief report on draft plans to closed-door session of the Senate House Armed Services Com mittees the other day.
 He told the solons that the Selec- tive Service machinery would be ready to process the first batch of draftees by October IS, but es- timated the second call would not come before January 1.
 Hershey told the Senators and Congressmen there was strong pres sure-at that time-to start draft ing 19-year-old first, since they were not ready to settle down and would be less likely to be upset by Army service.
 The two Armed Services Commit tees, however, argued the opposite. Unanimously they agreed that the 24- and 25-year -olds should be talk

at the University of Michigan he was blackballed for membership in the Chi Phi mems fraternity.
 Martin Codel, publisher of Tele- vision Digest, and Ed Engel, radio expert for the Republican Ma tional Committee, got a chuckie over the incident the other day, especially the excuse given by the man who vetoed Dewey.
 Ccdel and Eilgel were members of the Michigan Glee Club on which Dewey was the star soloist. Dewey was hard up and at first had to borrow Engels dinner jacket. When his name came be- fore Chi Phi, several of his friends did their best to get Dewey accept ed. but one man held out. His reason was: The guy is poor ma terial. Won't develop"
 Today, the man who so appraised Dewey is peddler of Florida real estate, so unknown that his old college associates can't re- member his name, and the man he blackballed may be the next Pres ident of the United States.
 Note-Though Dewey started out to be a concert singer, he also decided to study law The singing business, he decided, was too pre- carious.

HIS CABINET PAINS PRESIDENT

Visitors who called in Presi- dent Truman at the White House after Congress opened, found the Chief Executive hopping mad at some of his top executives. He was particularly irate with Secretary of the Army Kenneth Royal, Under secretary of the Army William H. Draper and the Army's Chief of Staff Gen. Omar Bradley.
 Truman said he was fed up with Royal and Draper for their sabo- tage of White House policies. Draper's policy of rebuilding Ger many at the expense of her neigh bors and Secretary Royall's inadept handling of Army racial discrimin- ation had got under his skin.
 The President was more hurt than angry at the way his fellow Missourian, General Bradley had reaffirmed segregation and the
