EUROPE:
Stronger Ties

At Strasbourg, France, the coun-
Gil Of Europe's consultative assem-
bly, called for creation of a union
of European countries with real
power in a limited range over the
governments of member nations.
There r many students Of
world problems who are con-
WINGED this procedure is the only
one which may eventually do away
with war; but being realists, they
concede that man has not progressed
in selfless thinking to a degree
where governments will agree to
overall control of any kind or de-
gree. "a. ....
THUS it appeared the idea
br ched at Strasbourg was
doomed at its inception, but men
of goodwill must keep trying, no
matter how difficult the task, If
world peace is ever to become
more than an illusory goal.
1t has not been too difficult to
get the best minds committed to a
problem to see the way to its sol
ution; the obstacle always has been
that the individuals to whom the
procedure must be entrusted fail
in the scope and breadth Of the wis
dom necessary for solution.

So, when the 12-nation assembly
meeting in France voted by an
overwhelming show of hands for
federal authority for the council
of Europe, it was a manifestation
of hope and desire, rather than
any real accomplishment.
THAT the delegates were on
good, solid ground is indicated by
this portion Of the resolution for
federal authority: ~
"The government should under
take systematic instruction of the
great mass of the people, pointing
out to them the undeniable advan-
tages of union for Europe and at
the same time the dangers inner
ent in national isolation"

DOLLAR PARTLY:
information. Please

Great Britain took the lead in
stripping any secrecy from the
progress of the critical conference
on England's dollar crisis.
OFFICIAL SOURCES credited Sir
Oliver Franks, the British ambas-
sador. with a proposal that de-
tailed daily reports be made in
order to keep the American, British
and Canadian people advised of de
velopments.
This system of daily briefings
has been followed at meeting of the
Big Four council of foreign minis
tiers in the past. although top-level
international postwar financial con-
ferences have been a bit more
~secretive.
The publicity problem was among
the first which had to be ironed
out by the principals in the none
tary discussions, as decisions will
have a vital bearing on reducing
British dollar drain and FOSTERING
her position.
THE PROPOSAL for daily brief
ings was said to have support from
Dean Acheson, US. secretary of
state, but the attitude of John
Snyder, treasury boss, was I'M
known when the proposal was first
preached.
The federal administration al
ready had indicated congressional
leaders would be kept informed
on the progress of the conference.
Tie British proposed that officials
of the three powers take turn
about in giving the briefings to the
press.

COMMANDER:
Some Dispute y

Amid charges that he was the
candidate of the "kingmakers."
and was under the domination Of
the old line leadership, George N.
Craig, 40-year old Indiana attorney
was elected commander of the
American Legion. He was the first
World War II veteran to be chosen
for the post.
THE 3,344 delegates to the
Legion's Philadelphia national con-
vention gave Craig an overwhelm-
ing majority on the first vote.
Craig's opponents took the rostrum
at nominating time to label him
the choice of those they claim
always select the organizations
national commander.
ELECTION of officers climaxed
convention sessions in which the
Legion urged continuation of aid to
China, adopted a resolution asking
the us. to curtail "as far a. pos
sible"t any further immigration at
the present time.

HIGHWAYS:
Rough Going

Thirty-four of these United States
need 20 billion dollars worth of
work done on their roads.
This huge highway repair bill,
forecast by Senator o'Mahoney
ID, Wyo9. was disclosed after a
nationwide survey of road needs.
THE PICTURE was not as dark
, as it seemed. O'Mahoney pointed
out the condition will serve as a
backlog which will afford an I'M
measured market for business and
industry"
He declared that everyone is
aware of the depreciation of the
American road system during and
following the war, but added that
few, / am sure, appreciate the
tremendous backlog of essential
work which has piled up.
As chairman of the congressional
joint economic committee. the SEN
ator recently sent inquiries to gov
errors and highway authorities in
every state TO determine their high
way construction and repair needs.

sponded and that Of those. "a in

FARM AID:
No "Setups"

Whatever else his critics might
say of President Truman, they
couldn't charge him with picking
any "setups" when he sets out
to do battle. The President has a
faculty, it seems. for jumping
quickest to the defense Of meas
ures and proposals that have the
least public support.
THIS vas the case in the Pres
ident's latest taking-up-of-arms
for controversial causes. He es-
poused the Brannan plan of farm
price supports in a speech at Des
Moines. He warned that the ma
ton faces unmanageable and cost
ly crop SURPRISES, and urged a
''modernization" of the farm price
support system on the basis of
the Brannan production-subsidy
program. s=~
This is an issue which promises
to be one of the liveliest in the
1850 congressional elections, and
If the President was aiming to
beat his opponents to the punch
on the issue, he had succeeded.
The Presidents recommendation
was made in the face of disagree
ment among his own congression-
al leaders a to the best farm
price subsidy program to adopt
and organized opposition by many
farmer groups against the Brannan
plan.
MR.. TRUMAN called the Bran
nan plan the most promising
method yet suggested" but left
open the possibility that some other
system could be substituted.
The Brannan plan is one, briefly,
wherein prices on practically every
farm commodity would be left to
find their own level on the market
with the government paying a SUBJ
sidy to farmers in the form of the
difference in price between what
farm products brought on the open
market and the established parity
price. IT,
Opponents of the plan point out
that while the consumer might ap-
pear to be saving money on cheap
er market prices for farm products,
he would, in reality, be saving
nothing. inasmuch as it would be
his money that would be paying for
the subsidy to the farmer.

TIDAL WAVE PRECAUTIONS
 FOR ALASKA
Detection, Warning System Is Announced by Civil
 AeronautiCs Adm.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-lR- Pacific and Alaska installations of the Civil Aeronautics Administra- ticn have been linked into a vast tidal wave detection and warning system, the CAA has announced.
 The objective is to warn areas in the path of tidal wave in'time to take what precautions are pos sible against loss of life and prop erty damage.
 Because tidal waves sometimes sweep along at more than 400 miles an hour, split second action is required to make warning sys- tenn effective The CAA said it can provide this with its continuous communications channels linking Anchorage, Alaska, with Honolulu and linking Honolulu with Wake, Midway, Canton ando Palmyra Is lands in the Pacific.
 Honolulu, which has felt the lash of disastrous tidal waves, has press ed vigorously for an adequate warning system, and it will be the key point in this one.
 A tidal wave is relatively low in height, but of great length, and is not easily detected by either air. craft or ships at sea.
 Special instruments, spaced stra- logically, will be used in the warn mig system to surmount that diff ,culty, said D. w. Rentzel, CAA ad- ministrator This, he said, is how the plan will work.
 Observatories at Fairbanks and Sitka Alaska; Tucson, Ariz., and Berkeley, Calif., will flash word of seismic or earthquake disturbances to Honolulu's magnetic and seis- mological observatory. There a swift check will determine the like lihood of a tidal wave and it's pro- bable course.
 Tidal gauge stations at strategic points will be alerted to man their stations constantly, watch for signs of tidal wave, and use the CAA communications channels to flash word of danger.
 Rentzel said the system would be a vital" factor in protecting lives and property from such dis asters.

Philosophy of Will Rogers Recalled on Anniversaryof
 His Death at Poinf Barrow
By BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 15-tR- Fourteen years ago today, a small airplane nosed into the icy waters at Point Barrow, Alaska, carrying Will Rogers to his death.
 Most American adults bear a memory of hearing that tragic news and fondly recall the grinning Cklahoman who made the nation laugh. With the years he is fast growing into a US. legend
 Hollywood, where he worked and lived in his last years, recalls him as sometimes shrewd, sometimes humble. but always Will Rogers.
 He claimed his epitaph could be q never met a man I didn't like" But, says a former co-worker, "He had no use for phonies, and could spot 'em a mile away"
 He played polo and earned $3,- 5O0,000 in eight years from movies alone, but he maintained the com mon touch that was his trade mark. Concerning his grammar, he said;
 Maybe aint ain't so correct, but I notice that lots of folks who ain't usin aint ain't eatin'."
 No one has replaced Will Rogers. Radio, with its boff. bang and zowie type of comedy seems to have killed off the kind of humor sup piled by men like Mark Twain and Rogers. There is no one to match such Rogers quips as:
 T might have gone to West Point, but I was too proud to speak to a Congressman" Communism to me is one-third practice and two-thirds explana- tion."
 Mexican Pre- si d ent stopped gambling in Tia Juana and the whole town is left unemployed. It's just like stopped lobbying in Wash ington."

Unions Sign Coniraets for Same Fish Prices as
 Last Year

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Aug. 70 -lR-A threatened fishing indus try strike in Southeast Alaska was averted late Saturday when the CIO Food and Tobacco Workers Union signed a contract for the same fish prices as AFL unions accepted last week.
 Union members had authorized their negotiating committee to call a strike at midnight Saturday if an agreement had not been reach ed.
 Everett Hudson of Metlakatla, chairman of the committee, said the opening price on humpback salmon will be 37is cents per fish, the same as last year.
 Cannery workers of both CIO and AFL unions will work without Interruption, officials said, pend- ing the outcome of a jurisdiction al elections to be held under the auspices of the National Labor Re- lations Board.
 Commercial fishing in the north ern section of the Territory's south east district opened today, week ahead of schedule The U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service ordered the earlier opening after check had shown spawning was far enough along for conservation needs.

AFL NOT INVOLVED
 IN STRIKE THREAT
 IN FISH DISPUTE
Floating Cdnnery Opera lion Not Issue in Re-
 ported Strike Threat

Tn error Friday of last week was the Daily Alaska Empire in its statement that the AFL union was threatening tie-up of the fish ing industry by strike. The AFL and the Alaska Salmon Industry reached agreement in their nego- tiations Thursday with the labor union signing contracts for the ls49 fishing season.
 Also in error was the following paragraph from the Empires Fri day strike story:
 Main issue blocking settlement is a move to transfer to Southeast operations, a nonresident floating cannery crew who has completed the season in the Westward"
 Nick Beg. floating cannery opera tor, denied that his move to trans fer floating cannery operations to the Southeast was any issue in a reported threatened strike by CIO labor leaders.
 Beg said this weekend that he "knew nothing about it and that 1t was not an issue in the dispute and was not blocking any settle ment."
 According to information learned here today, moving of the floating canneries to Southeastern waters from the Westward was not an issue in the reported weekend strike threat, and information given to the Empire was incorrect
 The La Merced. operated by Beg. has been in Bristol Bay and Prince William Sound areas during the Westward fishing season. It Will move to the Southeast.
 Kayak Fisheries floating cannery operated by R. V. Wilson, which has operated in Prince William Sound during the Westward sea- son has also filed notice of inten- ton to operate at Hoonah for the southern season.

Mrs. Truman Recipient of
 Deep Freezer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-tR- Senator Mccarthy (R-Wis) says an employee of the company re- ported to have paid for deep freez- CTS sent to Mrs. Harry s. Truman and a number of other notables had engaged in attempted snug gling activities"
 Mccarthy emphasized that he does not think there was anything "eyen remotely improper" on Mrs. Trumap's part.
 The Wisconsin Senator made his statement at the opening of to- days five percenter hearing. The Senate investigating committee IS trying to find out whether im- proper influence with government officials figures in the activities of persons who charge fees for help in landing government con- tracts.
 Albert J. Gross, Milwaukee manufacturer, told the committee last week that his company sent deep freezers to Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, President Truman's military aide, and a number of other prominent Washingtonians. He said the units were paid for by the Albert Verley Company, a Chicago perfume house.
 Vaughan's Statement
 In a statement to newsmen Sat- urday, Vaughan said two old friends of his-one of whom IS associated with the Verley Con- pany, and the other reported to have been associated with it form erly--gave him seven freezers in 1945, and that he in turn made gifts of them to friends.
 Vaughan said he had one of the freezers sent to the Little White House" at Independence, Mo. A committee member said he was told that Mrs. Truman sent thank you note for this freezer to Gross, thinking he was the donor.
 Ex0nerates Mrs. Truman
 At today's session Mccarthy said ::
 T feel there is nothing in the record suggesting that there was anything even remotely improper on the part of Mrs. Truman. She is the type of lady who is incap- able of doing anything improper.
 T don't think she knew any thing about the perfume company's connection with John Maragon.
