NO LOAN FOR FRANCO

Every in while there appears in the news the subject of loan to Franco. Discussing this, the New York Times has the following to say:
 President Truman not exactly diplomatic when he told his press conference that he opposed to lending s5ooOooOo to Generalissmo Franco's Gov ernment because relations with that Government were not friendly. It would have been more tactful to say as Secretary has that the Export Import Bank did not regard Spain a good credit risk But glad MT. Truman spoke out. Franco is not only bad credit risk He is bad moral risk
 The one virtue of the Franco regime is that it IS anti Communist Attempts to soften our attitude toward Spain have not produced any other respectable argument unless it is respectable to argue that if we lent Spain money Spain would buy American goods. Spain under Franco is a dictatorship in which the press is censored civil rights denied and political opposition is punished crime. However much we may sympathize with the Spanish people we are not

Vital Issue Affecting All of Us
(Ketchikan News

(Ketchikan News
 The present tense situation involving the fishing industry unions and the Alaska Salmon Industry is of vital importance to the public labor and the business man of Southeast Alaska and Ketchkan in particular. This vitally concerns all.
 Unquestionably there is jurisdctional dispute between the AFL and CIO fishing industry unions. Without attempting to pass judgment as to which organization is right wrong these the facts we see them Although apparently strongly opposed to the TaftHartley Act the AFL union involved is in full compliance with all provisions of the act while on the other hand, the CIO Food, Tobacco and Agri- cultural Workers Union is also opposed to the Act, but are not in compliance.
 It appears some of the issues much confused It seems that the Alaska Salmon Industry signed consent election with the AFI to determine the proper bargaining agent for resident cannery workers in all of Southeast Alaska The Industry has also been negotiating cannery workers agreement with the ETA, non-complying union with the repu- tation of being Communist influenced
 The NLRB recently declared the ETA has been disqualified as bargaining agent.
 First glance leads to believe that this is ursdctional dispute between two rivals unions both trying to gain recognition and agreements with the Canned Salmon Industry. A second look makes us believe that although both unions desire agree ment this is not the primary issue. Events of the past week leads to believe this is largely struggle between two entirely different types of theology.
 The CIO brought in the business agent of Local T. definitely left-wing controlled union in Seattle to take leading part in negotiations for resident CIO unions The AFL brought in representative from the Seafarers International, of the most outspoken and bitter enemies of all left wing unions and Communism
 These two types of union representation and lead ership leads make other choice The inter- ests of the public will be served with work stop pages or strife We are heartily in accord with the NLRB ruling, for if this is struggle between demo- cratic trade unionism and Communism, far better show down now, than postpone the day of reckoning

WAGE INCREASES
 MEAN IMITATION
 SPOKESMAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-tR-The Chairman of the American Man agement Association told Presiden- tial fact-finders today that if steelWorkers win their pay demands 1t could plunge the US. into de- pression.
 John M. Hancock, appearing in behalf of the steel industry, said that any wage increases granted the CIO United Steelworkers is likely to "go through the whole economy" and would lead ito a national pattern of another round of wage increases"
 He said "the issue facing the country-and this board-is: does America want more imitation? Can America stand more imitation?
 If the economy proceeds along lines that will surely cause infla- tion," Hancock said it would mean the end of our kind of economy"
 The three man fact-finding board before which he appeared was set up by the President to avert gen. eral steelworkers strike last July 16. It's recommendations, which must be submitted to the President by Aug. 30, will not be binding or either side.

strator.' In the years that fol- lowed he visited many lands and engaged in many occupations.
 He prospected for gold with two sourdoughs in Alaska; was steam ship agent in the Orient; worked at various jobs in the Mediterran- can, Australia, England South America; and produced several movies in the U. S. As Strachan puts is, There were few places didn't get to and little that I didn't do."
 One of the things he did was to become a boon companion of Jack London, famed novelist. Trey went on several trips togetEe-'.
 Tn World War I, because Of phy- sical disability, Strachan was barred from military service. So he helped set up the Bureau of War Risk In- surance and was one of it's first officials. Later, as a result of this work, he was active in organizing a union of government employees. This in turn led to interest in vo- cational training and he authored and put through Congress the Fed eral Vocational Training Act.
 An auto accident severely dis abled Strachan and sent him to John Hopkins Hospital where he conceived National Employ the Phyically Handicapped Week. In 1942, to wage to long fight tor Congressional enactment of this project. he organized the American Federation of the Physically Handi- capped.
 Strachan still heads this organi- zation, which has local chapters throughout the country AFPH is sponsoring his new program and from a modest office in the Na- tional Press Building he is determ- inedly masterminding the campaign.
 His right-hand assistant is also a handicapped. Miss Mildred Scott doesn't ithump desks or thunder as Strachan does, but she is as in- defatigable and devoted to their cause. As one admiring AFPH official expressed it, Paul storms the barricades and Mildred organ izes the storming."
 Paul Strachan and Mildred Scott are not headline names. But they are the kind of selfleSs idealists who have made America great and are its real heart and soul and strength.
 It is the privilege of the Wash ington Merry -Go-Round to acclaim them and to bestow upon each the brass ring for devoted service to their fellow men.

NORTH STAR TAKES "EvERYT 10 NORTHERN oUTpoSTS

Everything from bubble gum to an operating table is includedi in 6,200 tons of cargo aboard the Alaska Native Service newly con- verted vessel North Star, on her first voyage to the Bering Sea.
 The new North Star, with twice the capacity of the old ship replac- ed this year, put in at Mt. Edge cumbe this week on the first stop of her voyage to supply native villages up the Boring coast all the way to Point Barrow.
 Aboard are 5000 tons of supplies for Point Barrow alone. This in- cludes 50O,0OO feet of lumber for native housing at Barrow.
 Lumber has all been purchased by the Eskimos themselves out of wages earned on the naval oil pro- ject, according to Don c. Foster, superintendent of the Alaska Ma tive Service.
 Foster added that more than 2500 different items will be discharged at Point Barrow Building material for new school at Kivilian is also aboard the vessel, he said.
 The vessel is due at Barrow Sep tember 5, after putting in at way points an up the coast.

NEW DREAM

Strachan will be in the forefront of this years campaign as he was in all the others. Discussing the conception of NEPHW he says:
 "It was born of recollections ot World War I, when disabled vet erans were pushed around and ignored as soon as the parades stopped and the bands no longer played. It was born of vivid and poignant recollections of thousands of other handicappeds I had seen who were discards of society. It was born of personal experience as one s85 per cent physically dis abled, ancs who, because of that disability, was cast upon the human scrap pile, despite fierce and in- tense desire to live, to work, and to achieve"
 But while laboring devotedly for NEPHW, Strachan is passionately battling for a new dream.
 It is a plan for great national program of rehabilitation, training and aid for physically handicapped of all kinds. The project would completely revolutionize the hand ling of this program in the U. s. More than two-score Senators and Congressmen are sponsoring the bill drafted by Strachan.
 Rep. Gus Kelley, D., Pa, senior member of the House Labor com mittee, has already held hearings on the measure But despite strong support in and out of Congress, the proposal is long way from en- actment. It is encountering vig- orous bureaucratic resistance.
 But that is not daunting Strach- an. All his life he has had to fight for his ideals. It took him five years to make NEPHW real ity. and he is prepared to battle the remained of his days for his new dream.
 Tt will be worth it. he says. We can't loose. Even if this pro- gram is not adopted in its entirety to start with, it will force advances that would otherwise not be achiev- ed Time and the cause Of hu- manity are on our Side.'

There is nothing backward about 36-year-old freshman Representa- tive John R. Walsh of Indiana, but he admits little stage fright when he hustled down to the White House on business for his district.
 Reckon I may be trifle scared, or maybe should say awed," grim ned the tall, surly-topped Hoosier after he shook hands with the President. Tt isn't every day a fellow gets to talk to the President of the United States"
 T know how you feel Truman smiled. T felt the same way when I used to come down here to see F.DR. and sat in the same seat you're in. But now that I'm here in this chair, can't understand how anyone can feel that way about me-"

FIGHTING SCOT

Strachan inherited his unquench- able spirit from a Scottish father.
 His father was crusading coun- try editor in Michigan, Indiana and Georgia. He battled against political machines and for the un- derdog without fear or favor. On one occasion, his press was smash ed by a mob. The elder Strachan borrowed equipment from a nearby town and issued his paper with a scathing attack on the mob.
 Paul Strachan was born in Perry, Mich, in February, 1892. At the age of IA he had become an ex- pert typist and, quitting school, took rowing job as an expert demon-
