HONOLULU TO TETERBORO TO-

Flying silver-winged monopiane, Bill Odom set down in Teterboro N. J.. after 5o0O-mile flight { from Honolulu. It's record to be dismissed with snap of the finger. An Air Force B50 has girdled the globe in 94 hours nonstop. Whats tortoise slow flight of 5000 miles in s6 hours? Rack the calculator where the passing records of the day are noted and forget it. Or can you?
 Tn subdvided fact that Odom record is more impressive than the fabulous flight of the round- the-world Lucky Lady IT. The Lucky Lady was shep- herded by the Air Force every quarter mile of her route Organization triumphed when she landed, and mechanics, and aeronautic science. But something else triumphed when Bill Odoms little plane squated gracefully on the runway at Teteboro
 No one really doubted that the plane the Waikiki Beach, could make the flight. Motor-block tests had proved the mechanical endurance But there was human factor involved Could man last as long, as steadily, as the machine he had made? Odom said he could and he proved it. Saying it, proving it, he has added little to the shout of mans superiority over the world into which he has been thrust It's little as if a man had sailed the Atlantic in row. boat The crossing is not important; anyone knows a liner can do it with wave-forgetful ease. But can man do it by himself propped by the complexities he has invented? Odom has said he can. Odom has demonstrated the tremendous fact of human suprem acy over gadgets.
 Tomorrow or the day after the day after tomor- row. his record will be broken It matters little or nothing The fact is that he has defied the wise ones who say the world is too big for mans graspng he has shown that single man, lonely as Charles A. Iindbergh was lonely in the Spirit of St Louls can spit in the eve of the cosmos He has made humanity and all that humanity means, surer in the process

eide whether it should be pub Ished.
 This left the matter entirely up to Truman. So after the Forrestal meeting was over, the scientists con- felred among themselves as to what they should do about the Presl- dent.
 Tt would be most unwlse for Us to bring any pressure on him urg cd Dr. Compton of NIT. Because if you push him, he will just get angry and spiteful and will sit on the report untl doomeoay"
 Regretfully the other scientists agreed that this was right. Any pressure tn Truman to publish the Bikini report would probably make him stubborn, they decided, so they did nothing. Meanwhile, facts which Russian scientists already know about the way the A-bomb makes warships almost a thing of the past remain a secret from the American people.
 Congressional leaders make a similar complaint about Truman The best way to keep a man in otfice. they have found, is to show him UP es inefficient, following which perpetual job with Tru- man is almost guaranteed.

 The wisdom of MT. Seward in his purchase, which was by way largely made possible by the unfatering support given the project by President Johnson, has long since established. And in Alaska, his name will be placed well on top of the list of those whom we delight to honor.

 AWARDED BERGER

SEATTLE, March 30-tR-A gov- ernment mail contract to serve Unalaska and Aleutian outpcsts has teen granted to the Berger Transportation company of Seattle, J. Lael Simmons, secretary of the firm says.

JAP COLLABORATIONIST
 IN WASHINGTON

A lot of collaborationists once chummy with Japs and Nazis are quietly easing back into power. Yet the State Department, in whose hands rests the responsibility for keeping the peace, doesn't even seem to know it.
 In Washington, for instance, the No. 2 man in the Philippine Elm bassy is Emilio Abello, Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of the Philippines. The State De- partment is supposed to know ali about him. That is part of it's bus mess.
 However. when Richard R. Ely, chief of tl.e State Departments Di- vision of Philippine Affairs, was asked whether Minister Abello had ever been a Jap collaborationist, he answered no.
 If Abello had ever been in pris- on or anything like that" replied ELY, WG WOQiQ hliOW dll dDOQl II. Abello himself was somewhat mere frank after being confronted with the evidence. He admitted he had been jailed for four months | oy General MacArthur as a collab- orationist but was released when , the jails were taken over by the Filipinos. He further admitted that he had been secretary to Joe Lau- rel, the infamous puppet ruler, put in power by the Japs.
 1 Abello was also given an oppor- 1 tunity to read U. s. Army Counter-Intelligence report which described him as "untrustworthy and willing collaborationist' whose influence and responsibilities have increased under the Jap regime Should have info on Japs' methods of political and military control ot captured territory and knowledge of Jap army"
 i, Tt is recommended" said the Army report, five months later ! September, l945) that subjects 1 internment be continued"
 Abello's reaction was:
 All they had on me was general statements. They never were able to prove anything except that I was LaurePs secretary. There were two classes of what you call collabora tionists-thcse who aided the Japs and those who just worked for the puppet government"
 Since arriving in the USA., how ever, Abeiio has been making speeches telling how we" put up g heroic defense against the Japs, ano has been urging American invest nsents in the Philippines. Speak ing before the Export Managers Club of New York last winter, hs said
 The devastation in our country 1 the wrecked condition of our ma. tional economy are due to OUE heroic defense of your interests a! well as ours and because WE stoof
 in the way of the vandals wh' stalked the world to destroy tn

REAL ESTATE LOBBY AGAIN

Behind the current drive for a sales tax in the District of Colum- bia Georgia. Indiana and other states is none other than our old friend-the real estate lobby.
 Big reasty operators, fearful of a boost in property taxes, as well as state income taxes, think they can head this off with a sales tax on consumers.
 This is one of the reasons back of the current efforts of reactionary Rep Howard Smith of Virginia and other friends of the real estate lobby to fierce Congressional ap- rroval of sales tax for the Dis trIct of Columbia
 The House recently rejected T sales tax for the district by a vote of 173 to l66. However, Congress man Smith and his cohorts are keeping at it.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE
TRAILERS VISIT LIBBY

Much interest was aroused last
Friday, when two large house
trailers stopped in Libby en- route
to government projects in Euph-
rata and Coulee Dam, Wash. These
trailers are being provided by the
government for employees on re-
clamation works at these, and pos
sibly other projects. They are
being transported to their destina-
tions by factory representatives of
the Ironwood Coaches Incorporated,
of Ironwood, Mich, where they are
manufactured. There are 100 of the
big coaches being delivered.
Any one viewing the interior of
the trailers agrees they are a vari-
table home on wheels" having all
the modern conveniences of most
homes, being equipped with the
latest in built-ins and fixtures. They
have butane gas stoves and refrig-
orators, oil heaters, built-in cab
inets, sink, and table.
The interiors are finished in light
mahogany or blonde maple, and
consist of two bedrooms, with inner
spring mattresses on the beds, liv-
ing room, closet space, toilet and
shower, and KITCHEN. The walls are
constructed of all steel construction
throughout, with insulation between
the inner and outer walls, ceilings,
and floors. They have port type
windows of shatter proof glass. All

is found in Lincoln County, these
lands are suitable for diversified
I agriculture, a practice by the Fed
eral government, which opened uI
National Forests for settlement and
farming and particularly grazing in
fertile and open parks, has been
especially beneficial in Lincoln
county.
Lincoln County had a population
in 1910 of 1882. At present the
population is increasing rapidly
with the possibility of a govern
ment dam being built up the Koo-
tenai River, thirteen miles from
Libby.
The J. Neils Lumber Company, a
local concern is a three and-one-half
million dollar plant, and employs
over Six-hundred men,.
The Zonolite Company employs
over one-hundred fifty men, and
ships out from six to eight hundred
cars of vermiculite each month.
This product, a kind of mica, is used
for insulation and as substitute for
sand.
Both these plants are expanding
rapidly.
Libby has two Lutheran churches,
a Methodist, Presbyterian, Christian
Science, Episcopal, Church of God,
Assembly of God, and a St. Joseph
Catholic Church. The church of
Latter Day Saints now maintains
a Sunday School in Libby. Troy
has a Methodist and Catholic
Church; Eureka has a Methodist,
First Baptist and Church of God.
Trego and Fortine have community
churches.
