National Fire Losses
Cincinnati Ennuirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 During the first four months of 1948 according to figures released recently fire losses in the United States averaged $22500oo day In 12 months &C., cording to the National Board of Fire Underwriters fires that largely preventable destroyed $7O3 worth of replaceabe property in this country This total does not include losses in the great Texas City disaster which due principally to explosions . To most of us the thought of fire is remote Few homes, comparatively, touched by the menace of flames and businesses in the aggregate are af- fected directly But all of us pay the price for lessness We get the figures in black and white, when we get insurance bills.
 Fire insurance companies have been running in the red since 1943 They've been asking for increases and increases have been granted If the present rate of destruction continues, expect still more boosts. In other words the national bill for con
 agrations reflected in insurance costs will be repre- sented to each and every of us.
 There's only one way to cut that bill-by being careful Remember that most of annual fire loss is largely preventable' That means that you can do something about it. You can keep your cellars and acs clean; check your household electric wiring discontinue dangerous cleaning practices; stop doing the dozens of things which great major ity of bazes Such program not only will cut down the staggering monetary toll which fires bring It also will reduce the number of deaths. More than 000 persons died in those prevenable' conflagratons in the year just ended!

Hope for Cheaper Meat
Seattle Times

As recently four years ago there 160 meat animals in the United States cattle sheep and hogs for each 100 persons. This year there 126 meat animals for each 100 persons These figures help to explain high meat prices.
 The reason for the shortage in number of animals in part, traces back to the poor crop of 1947 plus high prices for feed in general which led live stock sell stock and keep fewer breeding animals.
 Such influences are often self-correcting This years crop is good Feed prices not high relative to the price of meat, and this ratio more favorable to the livestock man. should encourage meat production
 A generation is long waiting period, even if it is only generation of livestock Government experts expect even tighter supply and price situation during the next two months, but see more meat available during the fourth quarter of the year As to the latter prediction, the will have his fingers crossed and hope that the government men, in this instance have better luck than they do on weather forecasts.

 Frankly, we believe that some Interior Department bright boy baoozed the Senator into introducing this bil. We think that Senator Capper was absolutely honest in his intentions but that he didn't have all of the facts at his command when he permitted his to he attached to such legislation

THE FIGHT IS RENEWED

Once again, the U. S. Department of the Interior is out to undermine the excellent work which has been done by the u S. Forest Service of the Depart ment of Agriculture, in Alaska At least the evidence appears to point in that direction
 For many years, the Interior Department has attempted to get wedge into Southeast Alaska by requesting various land reservations to be administered control The latest evidence of this is the bill introduced in the closing hours of the special session of Congress, by Senator Arthur Capper R.-Kansas), calling fer the setting aside of Admiralty Island public park and game refuge.
 This same area constitutes the main portion of a proposed pulp timber site reserved by the Forest Service until interested parties along and request for bids to be invited Excellent sources say that this action may not be too far distant.
 Use. of this area for the cutting of pulp timber would directly employ 1000 persons eventually and mean the establishment of industry in Juneau This new industry would help meet the world wide paper shortage Setting it aside game refuge would bring employment to only few more Federal government officials and would not be of great benefit to Juneau, Southeast Alaska or the nation whole.
 Here, however is the most important point to consider. Harvesting of this timber, which is now rotting on the stump. would not be detrimental to game animals fish scenic beauty This would all Service operators do their cutting sustained yield perpetual growth program with particular consideration to these three points.
 It's too bad that Senator Capper should have chosen this particular bill the last measure he

ESCAPING COMBAT DUTY

In 1942, the first year of the war, Hyman Tiplitz had son, George, in the Army, whose job was to line up entertainment for troops at Ft Hancock, N J. On April 15, l942, young Tiplitz wrote Rep. Thomas:
 Last week our entire regiment was examined to find those physi- cally fit for foreign and field duty. The doctors found me to be in perfect physical condition. Monday of this week I was given yellow fever injection. All this ccmes after a War Department let ter advising all station complements that their personnel would be com posed of soldiers who are physically unfit for field duty
 Rep. Thomas wrote back April 30, l942, advising Tiplitz mot to cross any bridges until you come to them, and when that time comes, you should contact me im- mediately"
 In August, young Tiplitz figured his bridge was about to be cross ed and frantically wrote Rep. Thomas:
 All physically fit men will be out of this post before the first of September ,. Every day counts. It is suggested that I be trans ferred to technical unit which is the Coast Artillery here, and then I would be doing the same work on special duty

have yet to come across a Jap either living or dead"
 Again on June 6, 1945, Tiplitz wrote that he had sent some battle stars home to his nephew. This little guy he commented all most sadly, lis continuously kill ing Japs in his living room, while his uncle has had no opportunity to either kill or see one alive"
 THOMAS GETS REWARD
 Tiplitz also wrote letter to Rep. Thomas telling how he had saved lover $500 since we left Hawaii and I have sent the money home for dad to purchase bonds for me-"
 When the now Chairman of the Un-American Activities Committee received. this letter, he pencilled a circle round the $500 and put it away for future reference. Sig nificantly, it was exactly $500 that the Tiplitz family contributed to Thomas reelection campaign.

TIPLITZ GETS HIS TRANSFER

Just what, if anything, Rep. Thomas did on behalf of young Tiplitz at this particular moment is not clear from the record. but a few days later Tiplitz did get the break he so desperately wanted
 On Sept. 4. he was transferred to the Coast Artillery. His buddies went overseas. but, despite his ex- cellent physical condition, Tiplitz was transferred to the Coast Ar tillery. later going to Camp Pendle- ton. Va. where he enjoyed the sta- tus of clerk.
 But in April, l943. Tiplitz, not satislied with being a clerk, sought
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-08-10

Tiplitz for his primary expenses and S200 for nis general election campaign.
 Now Lyman Tiplitz does not live in New Jersey, is not one of Thom- as constituents. Therefore, why should he take the trouble to con- tribute? Here was the reason:
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-08-10

Thomas help to get into Officers Candidate School. His commanding officer, It. Edward A. Coudriet, Jr., recommended him, but Capt. Bruce T. Nash said mo- Your atten- ton is invited to the fact that the present War Department policies regarding outstanding qualities of leadership are not indicated on the attached rating scale," wrote Capt. Nash. W
 Rep Thomas wrote Tiplitz various cheery letters promising help in making him an officer. one of them reporting: Just as soon as I got in Washington, I got busy on this case" Another alibied: "Confiden- tially, we have reduced the sched- ule for the size of our Army"
 As member of the Military Affairs Committee, Thomas was entitled to get classified informa- tion from the War Department But it is doubtful whether he was entitled to pass 1t along to others.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-08-10
ARMY GETS WISE


 Meanwhile, young Tiplitz again found his unit about to go aver seas, and again he appealed fol help This time he wanted to get transferred back to Ft. Hancock N. J. So Rep. Thomas went to work again. and on Nov. g re- ported back to Tiplitz:
 T have today conferred with Col w. I. Pearson. liaison officer between the House of Representa- tives and the War Department, and alter Col Pearson had reviewed the copy of Major Spotswood's let ter to you and the many endorse nients in favor of a transfer from Pendleton to Hancock, he indi- cated that he would recommend that you be transferred according ly."
 On Dec. 6, 1943, Tiplitz. appar- ently certain the transfer was ar ranged, wrote to Thomas: Rest assured that no one knows nor has any idea about how this trans fer is being arranged. They un- derstand that the pressure is be- ing brought to kear by Ft. Hancock. I have pleaded complete ignor- ance."
 But the transfer never took place Col. Pearson, or someone in the Army had begun to get wise to Rep Thomas. Young Tiplitz at long last had to go to the Pacific with his Coast Artillery unit.
 However, because of his status as clerk, he never did get any where near the battle front and wrote several letters to Thomas about this fact. One, dated June II, l945, from the Philippines, said, almost regretfully:
 Frankly, my particular position as clerk has given me no oppor- tunity to see actual. battle. All I know is what hear from those wio have been up front In fact, l
