A meeting of the Juneau Play CTS was held Sunday afternoon in the City Council Chambers and the group discussed the next play. It was decided to present the Teen Age Club with a check for $50 at this time, rather than wait until after the next production, inas- much as members of the group felt that the Teen Age Club needs the money now.
 After the meeting was adjourned the group attended the Open House Party at the Teen Age Club and Treasurer Lowell Gibson presented Zack Gordon with the check

MAIL BARRAGE

Some time ago this column ex- posed the amazing fact that one Congressman alone, Rep. Ralph >iwinn. New York Republican, had mailed out 9OO,0O0 letters contain Ing 2,250,00 copies of speeches = against public housing, rent con- trol, aid to education, etc. Since the Congressman had only 280,000 people in his district it seemed ln- teresting to probe into why he was mailing 9OO,00O letters at a cost to the taxpayers of about S27,000.
 Part of the answer proved to be the Committee for Constitutional Government This lobbying agency, directed by Dr. Edward A. Rumley, who served jail sentence as a German agent during the first World War-lias been promoting part of the Gwinn mail campaign. But part of his letter barrage was traced to a rambling mansion over looking the Hudson River at lrv- ington, N Y, called the Foundation for Economic Education.
 This idea was started two years ago by suave 5l-year-old Leonard Read, former western manager oi the United States Chamber of Com merce and general manager ot the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce The Foundation now pays Read s25.000 a year and, though not registered as a lobbyist, Read has carried his educational" activities to Capitol Hill where he has writ ten speeches against the Marshall Plan for isolationist Congressman

NEW WAR OF NERVES

It may may not be true, as a Swedish news paper has charged, that the Red Army has placed eight to l2 divisions of troops along the Finnish and Norwegian frontiers But it unmistakaby is true that by this or some lesser the Kremln is launching q new war of nerves directed against the Scandinav- ian countries Inevitably this poses problem for the American Government just much as it does for the Norwegian and Danish Governments.
 The deployment of 1500OO troops more or less in the Leningrad- -Murmansk area, paraleling the Fin nish and Norwegian borders is characteristic show of force This was not undertaken when Turkey was the target of war or years ago. because Turkey has strong armed forces of her own. Diplo- matc weapons were considered more suitable
 Troops were not used means of pressure against Greece, because it's internal weakness made it more logical ntrate with guerrillas and propa- ganda agents using the satellite countries as agents But the Scandinavian countries in different situation They are more directly exposed to Soviet military power.

Where Men Are Men
Chicago Tribune

Chicago Tribune Bill Strand then valued member of our Wash ington bureau, persuaded a year ago to accept the edtorshp of the News Miner of Fairbanks Alaska He found affairs in the Territory to be greatly different from those in the national capital There Alaska little New Deal, New Deal governor lording it the legislature and house of repre- sentatives wholly controlled by the governor. There were few frontier touches, however, absent from Washington but on the whole the similarities out weighed the difference.
 MT Truman thus made his celebrated reference to Drew Pearson, while 23 of the 24 members of the Alaska house dispatched a horsey comic valentine to one of MT Strands colleagues the editor of the Ket chikan Daily News, who had taken critical view of these statesmen, three of them ladies' MT Strands Miner courageously reproduced this questionable billet-doux and MT. Strand wrote firm editorial stating that the members of the Territorial house had achieved and absolute low in their department as public officials"
 The legislative body's response was to bring up resolution for consideration which, while making the practicable allegation that Mir. Strand was tool of special interests cf. MT. Trumans differentiation day oration) noted that his editorial comments may be very detrimental and harmful to the future political careers of said members. To this MT. Strand fully agreed inuuirng whose fault that would be- Noting that the author of the resolution had termed the edi toral "scathing" MT Strand congratulated the gen. tleman on his acuty, saying this proved the latter doesn't need house to fall on him
 Alaska is said to have left the frontier behind but when we reflect upon these happenings it doesn't seem improbable that bunch of the boys could be whooping it up in the Maamute saloon as of even date and that nobody would be greatly surprised if stranger staggeed and started drawing on the barrom floor The Alaska legislature evidently still finds it simpler to convey it's meaning in pictures, leaving language, with its glores and brlckbats, to the arsenal of Mir Strand.

Readers Digest lent itself to this propaganda. by publishing his pamphlet-just as rent control came up for debate on Capitol Hill. De Jouvenel didn't even deal with rent control in the United States, but in France. Now he has been aS- signed by the Foundation to write another pamphlet on socialized medicine-iu England
 Other samples of the Foundations propaganda are: Why Kill The Gcose?'-a plea to protect pig business; Can Dollars Save The World?"-an attack against the Marshall Plan; Liberty and Taxes U an argument against overtaxing the rich Planned Chaos" a sock at government planning.
 The Foundation also sharply de- nounces tax exemptions for co-ops, yet willingly accepts tax exemp- tions for itself.
 To spread it's propaganda, the Foundation has built up mailing list of 27,3O8. But more letters are sent out by friendly Congressmen, using free mailing privileges.

 Because the Foundation is sup posedly for education" these big corporations can deduct every cent of their contributions from income. Thus the s274,57660 given to the foundation in the past eleven months costs the corporations only a fractional part of the dollar.
 Chief aim of this high-poWered lobby is to oppose any act Of Con- gress that raises living standards, fit also lowers business profits.
