played her complete grasp of the
scope and meaning of the human
rights effort in which she has had
a commanding part. She spoke with
out illusion or sentimentality. yet
with the compassion which she has
always brought to bear upon human
problems.
Her lumor never has been re-
markable but she achieved a playful
irony in her references to the OBJ
structive behavior Of Russia and her
satellites. There is no doubt that
the Russian leaders have accom-
plished what all the personal abuse
of her at home could not do: They
have destroyed her confidence In
the good intentions of their govern
ment.
No Loss of Ideals.
Mrs. Roosevelt has suffered no
loss of ideals in her transition to
realities. This was apparent when
she explained the problems encount-
cred with the minority and recently
enfranehised colonial peoples who
are taking their first steps IN SELF
government. With humility she said
she had learned much from their
doubts and hesitations about us.
Technically she also proved her
title to graduate status. The plati-
tudes, the discursiveness, the rather
nervous laughter. all were gone.
The din of public speeches in Wash
ington is continuous no more I'm
ished one has been heard here.
1t is no longer apt to say that
Mrs. Roosevelt means well. She
does we'll.
Furthermore she looks beautiful.
This. it must be admitted, pleased
her friends as much as any other
aspect of the occasion and perhaps
caused even more comment.
Gray hair and little weight have
taken care of the irregularities which
the cameras always stressed too
cruelty. And she wes charmingly
costumed in French gray: A costume
suit with a boxy jacket, almost a
bolero, that stopped at the waist
line, a matching felt hat with gray
feathers at the side, gray hose and
pumps with steel cut buckles. With
this she wore gray kidskin packet.
Her Hat Cost S12.
AS she has only recently come
from Paris where the final touches
and signatures were put to the
Human Rights Declaration, the
French were being given credit in
the buzz of admiring conversation.
Mrs. Roosevelt said they guessed
right only about the hat. One Of
those little French milliners" who
come to your hotel made the hat
on her head. 1t cost twelve dollars.
Fifty-seventh street, New York, &C
counted for the rest.
Washington newspaperwomen have
always been Mrs. Roosevelts best
friends and severest critics. They
have been sympathetic with her
because she took pains to help them
understand what she was trying to
do. In a highly competitive bust
ness themselves, they have a fellow
feeling for the woman pioneer. And
they have never forgotten that she
opened the doors of the White
House to them in economically help
full ways during the depths Of the

This Changing World
British Envoy Reported to Have Given
Assurances to Truman on Middle East

international situation among the
men who comprise the Tel Aviv gov
eminent is obvious. But, it is said
in their defense, they created a new
state under the most difficult imag-
Unable conditions and, like some
governments which have existed for
centuries, they have within their
organization some persons who are
enamored of The Communist doc
trine.
The charges made by Great Brit
ain that the Israeli forces, and par
ticularly military aviation, are be-
ing supplied from Czech factories is
an old story, which was true until a
few weeks ago, but is not accurate
now. For reasons which are not
quite clear yet, no military equip
ment of any kind has been sent re-
Gently from the Skoda factories to
Israel. In some quarters this is in
terpreted as an indication that the
Israeli forces now have all the arms
they need. Others interpret this
fact to mean that Moscow has Or
dered its Prague puppets to cease
sending war materials outside the
Iron Curtain, because it intends to
Ireorganize and increase the military
strength of its Balkan satellites
particularly Romania and Bulgaria.
Soviet Eyes on Turkey.
This latter Interpretation is based
on the fact that Soviet agents have
reported that Turkey is the only
country receiving military equip
ment from the United States which
has put it to such good advantage
that Turkey now is military force
to be reckoned with.
American observers in Israel have
been able to alleviate the fears
expressed in Western countries that
Communist infiltration in the Stern
Gang and Haganah would give the
U. S. S. r. foothold in the Middle
East and particularly near the Suez
Canal.
Moscow's agents have been elimi-
mated from those two former irregu-
lar forces, and while there has not
yet been a complete cleanup, the
Communist influence is on the wane.
These American observers also point
out that by supporting the Tel Aviv
government, and by trying to reach
an equitable arrangement between
the Jews and the Arabs, the moder-
ates at the head Of the new state
will be strengthened and the risk
of Communist penetration removed.
These factors have been pointed
out emphatically to the British, who
must understand that the Red men
ace to their empire is far more
dangerous than any threat that
might come from the Israelis.

We can't let him get by with any

Or, if the President and his ad-
visers had, in a moment of frank
ness, decided to announce the
budget in terms understandable to
us citizens, there would have been a
Juror that would have made the
Bikini blast sound like a pin drop

had announced that he intended

Yes, sir. The President was smart
in announcing the amount Of his

According to we'll informed
sources in Washington, the British
policy trainers are said to want to
use the recent difficulties in Pales-
tine to show the Arabs that they can
obtain satisfactory settlement in
keeping with the dictates of the
United Nations by leaning on the
London government more than they
have in the past. This explains, &C

Britain has moved her troops and

The British government is fully
aware that the American admins

the creation of a strong Israeli
state. backed not only morally by
the U. N, but also physically by the

The British, who desperately need
Americas economic and political

national situation, know there no
longer is any possibility of Washing

to Israel. Any policy which would

 The meeting has been discussed with Kasilof people, who have sig nified a desire to participate in the meeting, and both towns are wait ing for an answer from Seward. Peninsula Problems
 A dinner was held last year for the purpose of making the people of the towns of Kenai and Seward acquainted It was very successful. The affair which kenai and ka- silof are proposing for this year would be of more businesslike e nature, with special entertainment for the occasion.

Famous Alaska Artist Answers Critics

E. P. Ziegler. the famous Alaska artist, was in Seward Thursday while waiting to sail on the Aleu- tian. Zie gler emphatically ex- pressed disagreement with an arti- Gle in recent publication which said he is one of the two great Alaska artists but has had to per form inferior work to satisfy the tourists.
 Perhaps little too modestly, the well known artist claimed, My work is not good enough for the tourists. Ii never has been." While he did not show any bitterness about it, Ziegler said he spent many years in sincere effort to do his best work on each painting and is disappointed that anyone should accuse him of doing less than his best work at any time.

S30,000 is available to Seward for improvement of the local airport, according to the breakdown fur nished to Delegate F. L. Bartlett following passage of the CAA ap- propriation bill.
 There are no funds earmarked in the 1850 money bill for the Fed eral Aid Airport program of the CA since total of $l657,750 representing 1947-43-49 funds for Alaska under this program, remain to be expended.
 That money prior to this year could not be spent as sponsors in Alaska could not accept federal aid due to lack of authority by the Territorial legislature. Under a spe- cial formula for Alaska, the Fed eral government would put up 75 per cent of the cost of the project with the Alaska sponsor putting up the remaining 25 per cent.
