We are being asked to buy death for our
selves and to pay S1,450, 100000 each year
to export death in the form of arms to West
ern Europe.
A vote for the arms program now being
debated in congress is vote for war
Every citizen should use every means
in his power to advise his senator and
representative to vote against it.
If enough citizens understand that the
arms program of the Atlantic Pact will de-
fend nothing except the growth of miltarism
and nazism; that it is being proposed in the
name of peace but that it means war; that
it will force Europe, as we'll as the United
States, to abandon such democratic protec-
tions as now exist for the individual citizen
against oppressive and arbitrary govern
ment, the arms program will be defeated.
If not enough understand, it will pass,
and we will have taken one more decisive
step to insure the death of the very democ-
racy we are being deluded into believing is
menaced to such an extent by Communism
that our only recourse is to turn half the
world into a military barracks to fight the
remaining half.
The menace is not real today, and our
military and administrative leaders know it
is not real.
Certainly, however, if we begin now
OF enforce our arms economy upon all
western Europe, the Soviet Union and
all other nations lying outside the Pact
will have no recourse except to resolve
to match us, soldier for soldier, bomb for
bomb, plane for plans.
Then, indeed, if war does not come quick

This effort on the part of the
power monopoly and recent actions
of the appropriations committee are
creating anger and bitterness in the
country. Almost daily, columns,
editorials, and special articles are
appearing in the press of the country
condemning this movement to sabo-
tage the national public power pol
icy, under which outstanding prog
ress has been made in various parts
of the country in expanding free en-
terprise, raising the standards of liv-
ing, and making our American demo-
cratic system serve the people better
than ever before in it's history.
This senate must take note of
these conditions and reverse the ac-
ton of the appropriations commit
tee on these vital measures, and re-
invigorate the congressional policy
in relation to public power develop
ment and distribution.

Non -Sked AirIines Threatened by Rule Cutting Alaska Loads

SEATTLE, Nov. 14.-tR-Amos E. Heacock, President of the Inde- pendent Air Carriers Conference of America, plans to protest the Civ il Aeronautics Boards regulation of non- scheduled air carrier service in Alaska.
 Heacock said he would attend a meeting of CAA officials and Aer- onautical Engineers being held to- day to determine policy on aircraft and route restrictions which become effective Wednesday.
 "As the regulation stands" Hea- cock said, 'the pay load of GAG aircraft operated by Arnold Air Lines, Air Transport Associates, Trans-Alaska Air Lines, Alaska Air Lines, Wien-Alaska Air Lines, Northern Consolidated Air Lines, Golden North Airways, Arctic Pa- cific Air Lines and Westair Trans port would be cut almost in half OIl AAdohdll lOutNo, AhdhAAi6 SSAA- mercial operation economically im- practible."
 1 At meeting of the independent carriers at Boeing Field Friday, Herbert Hilscher of the Alaska De- velopment Board criticized the CABS regulation of carriers within Alaska.
 i The meeting unanimously endors- ed Heacock's telegram to Gov. sEr- nest Gruening of Alaska challeng- ing the Board and the scheduled air lines with an offer to carry the mails to Anchorage and Fair banks for $1 year.
 With both Mt. Mckinley Air Lines and Golden North under im- mediate threat of revocation of their letters of registration for un- due frequency and regularity sl,d with >CAA attacks on the C-46 air craft designed to destroy us, a faint-hearted appeasement policy can only lead to destruction of non- scheduled service to and within AL aska," Heacock declared.

 Seattle's Ironmen are back in the Northern Division lead of the Pacific Coast Hockey League.
 They beat Vancouver's Canucks last night 3-l to move into the lead by single point over the idle New Westminster Royals. Ken Cook, new Seattle wingman, broke a third period game deadlock by stealing the puck and faking the goalie out of position.
 The Royals held the lead twenty four hours after beating the Los Angeles Monarchs 3-2 on a Dutch Evers-to-Don Slater goal.
 Doug Adams scored four goals Saturday night to lead the Tacoma Rockets to GA victory over the Victoria Cougars. Vancouver beat Portland 6-2 in the remaining northern division contest.
 The San Francisco Shamrocks. southern division leaders, were tied A by the Oakland Oaks.
 The San Diego Skyhawks came from behind to gain 3-3 tie with the Fresno Falcons.

CATCHY MUSIC IN FEATURE NOW AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Are You With It?" which opened last night at the Capitol Theatre is Hollywood at it's entertaining best.
 The film is youthful, .zestful and tuneful. It co-stars a merry quar- tet of refreshing personalities in Donald O'Connor. Olga San Juan Martha Stewart and Lew Parker.
 For added fun there is Walter Catlett and George O'Hanlon, and for added eye-thrill there is Pat Dane.
 O'Connor has long been spark ling entertainer, but in this story, which Universal al-International based upon the Broadway musical comedy stage success by Sam Perrin and George Baker, the young player really has a chance display his talents in all directions.
 Starting out in the story as a rather stuffy, mathematically- minded insurance actuary, who can't make a move without his slide-rule, O'Connor gets mixed up with carnival.
 Are You With It?" is based upon the spectacular Broadway stage musical comedy by Sam Perrin and George Baker.
 Seen in zestful supporting roles are Walter Catlett and Pat Dane.
 Action of the gay story is high lighted by several new songs.

NEAR CRASH ENDANGER5
 vp BARkLEY

WASHINGTON, Nov l4.-tR- Vice President Barkley's close call in what a bomber's crew said was a near collision with a commer- cial blimp near Washington ap- reared certain today to speed up studies on separating traffic around airports.
 The popular "Veep", who is to be married next Friday, was un- aware of the incident at the time Crew members said the Air Force B-17 in which he was passenger roared within 50 feet of the blimp with no forewarning it was there. Barkley told newsmen at Hart ford, Conn, last night he didn't know a thing" about it.
 It happened last Thursday night but did not become known-except by those immediately concerned until last night.
 This was the second incendent of it's general nature reported in the area of the Washington National Airport since Nov. l. That was the day on which Bolivian fighter plane collided with big commer- cial airliner, killing 55 persons.
 A week after the Nov. crash which killed 55 persons, an Eastern Cancellation filed complaint that an aircraft BPS had nearly collid- ed with it south of the airport. 1t said this near-hit came while the airliner was climbing to cruising altitude.

 Improve Methods
 Bureau of Mines representatives testified at Senate hearing recent ly that, besides price increase, there are two means of stimulating gold mining. These, they said, are de- creased operating costs and improv- ed technology.
 One other was implied: discovery of richer gold ore or of new sources of gold ore mixed with some other more marketable metal.
 Many of the copper, lead and zinc mines of the west were originally gold producers. Some of the better known are those at Butte. Mont, now producing copper, lead ana zinc: at Occur D'Alene, Idaho. and Leadville, Colo, now producing lead silver and zinc, and Bingham, Utah, now copper and lead. In fact, much of today's gold production comes from the smelters where ores from these mines are treated.

MARlENE DOUGLAS,
 CHARLES ABBOTT ARE
 MARRIED IN H00NAH

Nearly 200 persons filled the Hoonah Presbyterian Church last Wednesday evening for the mar riage of Miss Marlene Douglas to MT. Charles Abbott of Juneau. The Rev. George Belts officiated.
 The bride, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Harry Douglas of Hoonah, wore her mothers wedding gown and veil, and her grandmothers wedding ring was used in the cere- mony, along with that from her bridegroom. She was given in mar riage by her father.
 Mrs. David Perrin was matron of honor, and the brides sister, Marie Douglas, was flower girl.
 The bridegroom, who is the son of MT. and Mrs. William Nigh of Juneau, had MT. David Perrin as best man.
 Music for the wedding and the reception, which followed was by the Hoonah A.N.B. Band, and the Hoonah Orchestra played for the dance which closed the wedding festivities.
 The reception and dance were in the Hoonah Community Hall.
 After the newlyweds had cut the first piece of brides cake, Willis Duguqua, former mayor of Rake, carried on that pleasant duty.
 MT. and Mrs. Nigh flew from here to Hoonah for the wedding.
