Benson Tells Of Alaska Wage Scale Far Below Costs

WASHINGTON, - R Labor Commissioner Henry A. Benson of Alaska says that wages have failed to keep up with soaring living costs in the Territory and this is hampering efforts to build up stable working force.
 Such a working force is es- sential, he told reporters, to make Alaska self-sufficient in food pro- duction and other industries in the event the Territory is needed as a base in any future emer- gency.
 Benson told reporters "the pre- liminary information we have in dicates the cost of living in most of the Territory is, 60 per cent higher than in the United States.
 A Republican elected to a four year term in the Alaskan Terri torial government in 1946, Ben son has been conferring with officials of the Bureau of Labor Statistics seeking to have a new cost of living survey made in Alaska.
 He said funds for such a sur vey would have to be authorized by Congress.
 For a decade now the federal government has paid its employ es in Alaska 25 per cent differ ential to cover higher living costs. This is inadequate" Benson said.
 Price for food, clothing and other necessary living items have gone up a great deal more in Alaska than in the United States, he said, because of the bloom popula- tion" caused by defense building projects and the fact that supplies must be imported into the Terri tory in quantity and stored for long periods.
 Benson said that due to the high living costs many workers abandon the Territory for jobs in the States and there is a con- siderable job turnover.

By Alice Eversmon

Licia Albanese, soprano Of the
Metropolitan Opera, made her debut
appearance here last night in Con-
stitution Hall, presented by Patrick
Hayes. The medium sized audience
was made up apparently of her fans,
for 1t welcomed her with vociferous
applause before she had sung a
note. In the same vein, each group
of songs received q like reception
and four or five recalls were the
rule. No encores were given during
the program but the operate arias,
beginning with "Un bel di" from
Puccini's Madame Butterfly, add
ed at the end Of the printed list,
were greeted with shouts and
Braves.
1t would be a mistake to call 1t
song recital. It was in reality an
operate recital. Fourteen songs
were listed and the arias, Och
vieni, non tardar" from Mozart's
lie Nozze di Figaro" and 20 milo
babbino caro-" from Puccini's
"Gianni Schicc.1i". the latter opera
being given In full at the Lisner
Auditorium a. little later In the
evening. While the program was
conventional, even hackneyed, Nine
Albanese's presentation was any
thing but conventional. In fact,
1t was a complete departure from
the ordinary.
She treated every song as an
opera aria, singing it with appro-
pirate gestures and with all the
emotionalism that belongs to opera.
High drama entered into Rachman-
inoff's I'm the Silence of the Night"
and Malotte's Among the Living
where, in an anguished moment, the
singer fell against the piano, her
carefully coiffed hair became slight
~ loosened. But this was no con-
tretemps, for Mime Albanese Is at
ease with an audience and she pin
ned up the strands smihngly. ask
ing frankly If 1t was all right. This
endeared her still more to her de-
lighted public.

Feeding Value Of Slough Hays

three, and this happens to be the
one which is most abundant. It u
an early maturing grass and the
limited amount of sampling has not

harvesting. This is usually deter
mined by the condition of the
ground and the time available.
Feeding
Difficulty was experienced in get

tity of these feeds. The most fa-
vorable results have shown hardly
more than bare maintenance. This

North Dakota experiment station,
Fargo, looks forward to dry years
like those of 1884 and 1886 when
farmers looked upon anything green
as a possible source of feed. The ex-
periments evaluate the digestible
nutrients and metabolizable energy
In prairie bulrush, lake reed, hollow
stem slough grass, and oat straw
molasses mixtures. A summary of
the findings in the bulletin follows:
During ordinary seasons the coars-
er slough hays are not much used
because the more desirable upland
hays are available. In drouth years
upland hays are scarce and other
sources of forage are required. Many
sloughs, which in other years may
be filled with water or at least wet,
become dry enough so that hay can
be harvested. The present bulletin
reports feeding trials of three kinds
of hay, prairie bulrush, lake reed,
and hollow stem slough grass, which
may be available in slough grass in
dry years.
Digestion Trials
Our digestion trials of prairie bull
rush with cane molasses indicate
that the mixtures supplied about the
same amount of total digestible nu-
trients and a little more protein than
prairie hay. Lake reed and cane mo-
lasses, with a smaller amount of mo-
1asses is similar to prairie hay.
The lake reed contains somewhat
more protein than prairie bulrush
or prairie hay, and therefore would
be slightly better in maintaining
stock during the winter.
Hollow stem slough grass hay u
a little lower in total digestible nu-
trients than prairie hay, but ON
tains more digestible protein.
Dat straw with cane molasses and
water was low in protein and total
digestible nutrients; however, when
compared ON a dry matter basis, the
oat straw and molasses was nearly
as high in total digestible nutrients,
and higher in digestible protein than
prairie hay. In trials where linseed
meal was also added, the total diges-
tible nutrients increased, and the di-
gestible protein was also ~noticeably
increased. This supports the general
knowledge that oat straw is low in
protein, and while molasses win
make it more palatable, protein sup
plements should also be added. The
value of added linseed meal to the
oat straw molasses shows up in the
nitrogen balances of the sheep, also
the higher amounts total digestible
nutrients.
Mineral Balances
The mineral balances seem to in
dictate that in most Of the rations
there was enough calcium. On the
other hand, PHOSPHORUS was a little
low in most cases, except where lin
seed meal was fed. AS regards mag
nesium, the amount was a little low
in the prairie bulrush and lake reed
rations, and one-half Of the sheep on
the hollow stem slough grass hay
showed negative balance and the
other two positive balances. AS re-
CARDS the oat straw and molasses, ali
sheep showed slightly positive bal
