be good legislation because of the deadlock brought about between the Governor and the members of the Legislature.
 Actually Aaskas legislative record has not been bad.
 Alaska is one of the few among the States and Territories anything for the veterans of World World IT. Most States simply ignored the whole thing else put the matter up to the people in referendum form as a of dodging the issue.
 Most State legislative assemblies apparently thought the problem largely Federal check of State legislation will that Alaska has done more for its veterans than most.
 And from the point of view of taxes Alaska hasn't done so bad, either
 Records of the Tax Foundation show that Alaska s per capita tax is lower only than four States. Yet we are repeatedly asked believe that Alaska is the least taxed area under the American flag. The records of comparison will show that this is absolutely false
 We should always remember that even though much remains to be done in Alaska, much has also been accomplished

Chained Labor
Washington Post)

Washington Post)
 From Prague comes interesting report that Czechoslovaka's General Confederation of Labor is engaged in propagandizing return to six day week week There plenty of good reasons to support a change to longer hours of labor in country grap- ping with the problems of reconstruction. In many American industries during the war, when maximum production desperately needed, the work week often considerably exceeded AS hours The British Labor government time ago reinstituted sx-day week in order to increase output in its coal mines. What is remarkable about the movement in Czecho- sovakia however s first that it has been initiated Ihv what pretends to be a labor organization and, second that it is defended on the exceedingly odd ground that the five-day week represents personal interests the sx-day week national interests
 In free and democratic society, 1t is presumed that the interest of it's members lndlVldually com cides with their interest collectively. And public policy is determined at least theoretically Tn accord ance with the greatest good Of the greatest nuiiDer That is say that the nation is not reckoneo some thing apart from, and above, the individual pursuing aims and interests of it's own but as an instrument for the advancement of the common interests of ndi- viduals In the societies which called totaitarlan however the nation is accorded independent exist ence the supposed interests of which all lnolVluuais are expected to Thus the conflict cited by the Czech Confederation of Labor may very well be real one receivable only by the use of force on the part o the nation to coerce compliance.
 Commenting the Czech proposal, Wilnam Green President of the American Federation of Laoor had this to say: If any proof were neeoeo that com munism and reactanism synonymous, 1t was pro- vided today in dispatches that the Commurse-coh trolled Confederation of Labor in Prague IS con- ducting propaganda campaign to convince the workers of that country they should surrender the fve-day week and accept six days. Of course II IS not the projected change from five to six days that provides the proof of reaction but the espousa oi IL hv labor organization which has in effect become an arm of the state MT. Green is well aware of the distinction Tt shows he went on to say mo labor organization can be free under Communism because it is compelled subordinate the interests oi the workers to those of the Communist Party. Perhaps tbe hest message the AFL could send to the Con- federation of Labor in the circumstances IS simply workers of Czechoslovaka. disune You have nothing to lose but your chains

CAA HELPS JUNEAU BUILD AIRPORT

Juneau joins Mayor Waino Hendrickson in ap- precation of the aid furnished the city by the CAA in the cys plans for enlarged airfied and addi- tjonal aids to navigation

ALASKA LEGISLATIVE AND TAX
 RECORD

With Alaska's general election coming up soon, Alaska's interim governor-pending outcome of the Dewey Truman contest-is busy skipping about the Territory giving political speeches blasting away at most members of the last Legislature.
 Specifically under attack by Governor Gruenmg are legislation for veterans and taxes.
 In the past we have questioned the right of an appointed Federal official who is not responsible to the people of Alaska to his office in attempts to influence Alaska elections
 It wouldn't be so bad if he limited himself to this But even after the elections are over and the people have named their representatives he has re- fused to give the elected representatives the coopera- ton of his office Every session of the Legislature has been the same resulting in the loss of what might

 What happened is that Ke- fauver offered the peace pipe to Sen. Kenneth McKellar. Mcclellan promised to vote straight Demo- cratic ticket, then went to Boss Crump, warned him not to oppose Kefauver. Crump thought it over and agreed it might be better poli- tics to stay in the Democratic camp. AS a result, he promised not to oppose Kefauver, but still won't support him. Kefauver, who has always stuck by his principles, promised noth- ing.

PARADOxICAL MAINE

The Maine election was one oi paradoxes. While the Republicans rolled up record vote, labor which generally opposes the Repub- licans, did likewise.
 Maine Labor leaders succeeded in defeating the Tabb Bill whicf would have outlawed the closed shop. It had been passed by the legislature and came up on a ref erendum.
 Not only was it decisively re- jected, hut its author, Foster Tabb farmer, was defeated for the legislature-despite the fact that Maine is generally considered a state of fishermen and farmers.

Anti-Red Move Seen
In Europe Parliament
by the kssoeiotsd Press

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The Moscow

that talks on a parliament Of Eu-

move against Russia.
Commenting on the European
Parliamentary Union congress
which opened Wednesday in Inter-
laken, Switzerland, an article
quoted by the Soviet news agency,
Tass, said:
TT Is. of course. no secret that
fine phrases about uniting the Eu-
ropean countries are designed to
cover up Western Union under
United States protection, as pro-
jected by world reaction"
A Western Europe Union has been
formed by Britain, France, the
Netherlands, Belgium and Luxem-
burg.
Red Star declared, The inter-
nal political situation in the United
States compes the leaders of its
bipartisan policy not to hurry
with its Official entry into Western
Union whose basis Is the bloc of
five West European countries estab-
lished in March.
The United States ruling circles
prefer to guide this product OF
theirs from behind the scenes. 1t
is for this reason that action has
now been transferred from Wash
ington to Interlaken.
The purpose of the conference
taking place there is to create the
impression of some sort OF con-
stitutional procedure for the pro-
jected super government Of Eu-
