Local NAACP Again

launched this week when scores

agreed to work for his election.
Mr.. Steele told the Guardian
this week that he was not seek

to be on the slate. 1t will be
remembered that Steele's pre-

Christmas Rush
In Full Swing At
Post Offices

The early shopping for Christ
mas movement has really taken
hold as evidenced by reports from
store executives and by present
mail volumes, according to Post
master Francis A. Crowley. at
is clearly evident he said, "that
the public are buying their
Christmas gifts far earlier than
ever before for the reason that
it offers them a greater length
of time to shop in leisure and
there is a wider selection of
merchandise from which to
choose their gifts Most inn
pertans II permits the last few
weeks before Christmas to do the
little things which make Christ
mas in the home, decorations,
planning for guests, wrapping
gifts, and shopping for the Christ
mas dinner, without the firing
effort of former years." con-
tinued the postmaster.
1t is being reflected in the post
Office and we hope that the pub
lie will follow the official closing
dates which have been estab-
ished to assure the delivery OF all
gifts and greeting cards in tine
for Christmas. If parcels are 70
be mailed they must be deposited
earlier because of the already
enormous volume of parcel post
which is being received. AS a
matter of fact, postal officials re-
port that the huge South Postal
Annex has been taxed to the
utmost and it has already become
necessary to take over huge areas
in the Boston Army Base to dis
tribute parcel post and additional
space is being acquired at the
WATERFOWL Arsenal.
Packages must be wrapped
more securely and duplicate
address should be contained in
each package for double protec-
ton. Special delivery or special
handling is recommended, espe-
cially during the Christmas sea-
son. Commercial shippers would
do well to send distant packages
by air parcel post.
Parce-s for delivery in the
States Of Arizona, California,
Oregon and Washington should
be deposited not later than Mon
day, Nov. 18th for assured Yule-
tide delivery.

 Chairman Tydings (D-Md) of the Armed Services Committee said this was subject of secret ses- sion with Secretary Gray and Gen. eral J. Lawton Collins, Vice Chiet of Staff for the Army.
 After the conference, from which even committee members were ex- cluded, Tydings said no action on selective service appears necessary at this session. He said Congress would meet again next January in time to consider an extension or revision.
 Last year, after much dispute Congress enacted a peacetime selec- tive service act. Under it men from l9 through 25 years were subject to draft for 21 months.
 No draft calls have been made since January of this year because volunteers have more than filled quotas for the armed services.

Territorial Treasurer Henry Roden Succeeds in A.
 tempt 10 Get Finances

SEATTLE, Au.t 4.-tR-Alaska Territorial Treasurer Henry Roden announced today that million dol lar bank lean for Alaska is virtu- ally assured.
 He said the only remaining bar rier is getting private guarantors for the per cent interest which will be involved
 He said IS private citizens will be asked to guarantee $l,000 in terest each, pending action by the Territorial Legislature. He said there was no doubt that the Is can be found and he is confident the legislature will vote at it's next session to pay the interest and relieve the individuals of their re- sponsihility. Roden said he would be one of the IS.
 Roden said the loan will be from the Seattle Trust and Savings Bank.
 He said the precedent of Terri- torial borrowing without advance legislation had been set by the Territorial School Board. The legislature, he said, later approved the Territory's assumption of the interest.
 The Treasurer said he airmailed an outline of the plan to the Board of Administration, of which the Governor, Ernest Gruening, and other Territorial officers are mem- bers, last night. He said T am sure they will agree to. it. Roden will fly north tomorrow.
 Roden has been here about two weeks on the financing problem. due to the Alaska General Fund being deep in the red. He said the court challenges of three new Alaska tax laws was not a major barrier; that he soon convinced the bankers that was not a problem. but "the main trouble was clearing it with the lawyers" Roden said there would be am- pie funds available before January Is for paying off the borrowed sum. He expressed the belief that the receipts for liquor. income and other taxes would be ample.
 In Juneau. acting on a tele- graphic request from Treasurer Roden, Governor Gruening called meeting of the Territorial Board of Administration this morning, to make certain preparations in an- ticipation of Roden's return to- morrow.

Federal Govt. Claims Con- troI of Tide|ands for De-
 ve|opmenf of Seaweed
By vERN HAUGLAND> /

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-tR-The seaweed beds off Alaska belong to the Federal government, the Inter- for Department said today.
 Anyone wanting to harvest them must get permission of Congress and probably would bump into op- position by the fishing industry.
 In response to a query from a would-be promoter of an Alaskan seaweed industry, Assistant Interior Secretary William E. Warne asked Solicitor Mastin G. White for an opinion.
 Whites reply:
 l. The Federal government, not the Territorial government, has title and control over the tidelands, the lands beneath navigable inland waters and the lands of the Con- tinental Shelf off Alaska,
 2. If Alaska should become a state, title to the tidelands and land beneath navigable inland wat CTS would pass to the state. Owner ship of lands of the Continental Shelf off Alaska would not be af- fected.
 3. Seaweed growing on U. s. lands in Alaska is U. s. property and can be disposed of only pursu- ant to an authorization from Con- gress.
 No Provisions Made
 No statutory provision for its disposal has been enacted" White said.
 There is no authority at the present time to permit the cutting of the seaweed beds in Alaskan Territorial waters for commercial purposes
 Tt follows that the cutting and taking of seaweed by any person for such purposes would be an un- authorized action"
 The National Economic and So- cial Planning Association has esti-
