Family Affair
cincinnati Enquirer

tCnclnnat Enqulrer)
British newspapers do not rule mix into the
private affairs of the royal family but the other day
Lord Beaverbrooks Evening Standard did. when one
of its columnsts suggested the embargo on the
Duchess of Windsor be lifted by her husbands family.
The columnst wrote on the assumption that the
Duchess had not been received because she
divorce.
1t is true that the British court is one of the
since the reign Of Queen Victoria. Divorced people
are not received at public functions In fact they
not even admitted to the royal enclosure at Ascot,
which is a track.
AS straight-laced the British appear to be- they
are extremely flexible in their attitude when to be
suits their convenience The fact that the Duchess
of Windsor had been divorced-twice, in fact-when
the incumbent of the British throne announced his
intention of marrying her did make difference.
But it would not have been unsurmountable diff
ference If she had UP to the other requirements
of the oryal family set by custom and tadtion
Matters might have been arranged.
Lord Beaverbrooks paper points out that Britains
ROYALTY has somewhat relaxed its prejudice against
individuals who have been divorced mentioning that
the divers both of whom have been named as CO.
respondents divorce recently were guests of
Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip at private
party scarcely needs to be explained that being
guest at party by members of the royal family Is
net quite the marrying into it.

POLITICS AND B-36?

This columnist, after exhaustive
research, has come to the conclu-
sion that Odlum's financial god
fathering of the Truman campaign
and his attorneys fees to Defense
Secretary Louis johnson had .abso-
lutely nothing to do with pur-
chases of the B-36 from Odlum's
Consolidated Vultee Aircraft. The
switch to B-36's was decided by a
board of officers after months of
research, REIMBURSEMENT and flying.
Politics had nothing to do with It,
However, the backstage operations
of Floyd Odlum are highly important
and will continue to be important
The American public has a right to
know about them. The American
public also has right to know
about the myth, built up around
the Army and Navy, that men with
Wall Street backgrounds are best
qualified to operate the Army and
Navy The most dangerous thing
about some of these gentlemen is
that their backgrounds undermine
public confidence in national de-
Tense.

SECRET ARGENTINE DEAL

incidentally the Electric Bond
and Share investments in Argen-
tine were made by Odlum without
the knowledge Of its stockholders,
who now are irate and indignant.
And it's significant that in 1928
Curtis Calder wrote chief ac-
countant a confidential letter in
structing him to enter the S37 ,000,-
coo advanced to Odlum to buy Ar
gentine utilities in such a way that
it would be camouflaged on the
company's books.
This is the man-Curtis Calder
when President Truman and Floyd
Odlum now want to make Secretary
of the Army. Incidentally, Calder's
letter is in the official files CT
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission and can be secured by the
Armed Services Committee in Is

that movements are under way in many States toease
the restrictions. ~
To-day the volume of truck traffic is nearly three
times great as it was in 1880 and even more
significant is the proportion of trucks that carry
heavy loads" Macdonald continued.
The result, he said has been gradual increase in
damage to pavements.
Macdonald said truck operators insist that high
way damage is technical matter that engineers must
find remedy but that this is true only to the
extent that the design of roads fails to provide for
oadngs within the legal limits"

 Seasonal Fa(tor

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-lR-Un- mployment jumped 100000 in Jan- uary, one of the biggest increases since the end of the war, the Gen. sus Bureau reported today.
 Simultaneously. total employment plunged 100000 below the De- cember level, the bureau added
 Net effects of these develop ments were
 l. Total unemployment rose to a level of 2,650,O00 in the first month of 1949, and stood 600,0OO higher than in January, 1948.
 2. Total employment fell to ST. 100000 but wound up 265,O GOO high CT than a year ago.
 Part of the rise in unemployment was attributed to normal seasonal factors-the usual mid-winter re- duction in outdoor work and in trade activities.
 But cutbacks in factory output were important, too, the bureau said.
 Most of the additional unem- ployed were men, including many teterans Of World War Two" it reported.

POWER BOAT
 TAX PASSED
 THIRD TIM: ]:

Marcus Jensen, Douglas Demo- crat, one of the seven who opposed the bill, declared: Tt is ironic Tor the House to pass a bill to force a switch from sailboats to power boats on Bristol Bay and now that we have power boats, we start taxing them.
 Wednesday, the House adopted a measure to levy a heavy tax on Bristol Bay sall-driven fishboats.
 owen expressed the opin.on such a tax schedule would make can ner.os which now have boats sell them to fishermen "on thin equity
 He estimated the peak at which one owner could afford to operate would be six boats. The bill calls fer a tax of $l,000 on the sixth i,oat of any single owner, and Ow- en said that was about an average cf what a boat would earn.
 Rep. c. tRed) Carlson, veteran CoTdoYa fisherman, told legislators there were plenty of private boats to supply oanneries.
 We don't need any more boats and don't want any more" he de- clared.
 He challenged JsnSen's remark about the ironic twist of the sail Boat and power boat tax bills with the sharp assertion there is no con- necticn because the previously vot-

ed Bristol Bay sailboat, tax bill is a safety measure for protection of fishermen.
 The seven who voted against the power boat tax bill yesterday were Rep. Doris Barnes and James Mo- Ian, Wrangell;- Franklin, Fair banks; Amelia Gundersen, Ketchi- kan: Jensen of Douglas; George Misoovich, Fairbanks, and Amer Rydeen, Nome.
 Sharp Debate
 Monopoly" was a word tossed freely about the house floor during the debate, over the fish boat tax proposal. Supporters of the bill said it was aimed at preventing develop ment of monopoly in fish fleets as a substitute for fish traps.
 The sharpest objection to the proposed tax came from Rep. Glen Franklin, Fairbanks Democrat.
 Tt obviously is confiscatory, Franklin declared. T doubt if any conservation is involved and I don't think it will destroy any monopoly. ] don't believe tax measure should be confiscatory. We did the same thing in our fish trap bill, but in that case we were acoing cn subject on which the people had given a mandate by referendum"
 Owen, formerly of Kodiak and now business agent for the United Fishermen of Cook Inlet (AFL) conceded the tax lis a backhanded way of accomplishing the purpose" of assuring individual boat owner ship. but added: Tt is the only way we can do it."

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR FINANCING
 ALASKA HOMES

Prospects for m on ey to bulk homes in Alaska in the near future look brighter today than at any previous time.
 This appeared to be the consensus o. speakers who took the floor this noon in a discussion of Alaska Eoasinz at the Junior Chamber oi Commerce luncheon at the Baranoi Hotel
 Appropriation for Alaska housing development are under considera- ton in roth the Territorial Legis- lature and in Congress, Glen Wild CT director of Alaska Housing Au- thority, told Jaycees.
 A bill which would make available sl0 to Sl5 million of Federal funds for Alaska housing has been ap- proved by the Bureau of Budget and is due to go before Congress soon, Wilder said.
 LEGISLATURE ACTION
 Ncp. WdlltD H. 1oylci VI T ai banks told Jaycees that House Bill l9, appropr ating s25OO0O for ex- pediting territorial housing, was al- most assured of passing in the House of Representatives this after noon.
 First Division Senator Anita Gar nick told the luncheon group that she believed the housing bill would be reported out of the Senate Fi- nance Committee favorably and that ske also believed it had the support Of a majority of Senate members.
 In response to direct questioning, AHA director Wilder explained to Jaycees that the Housing Author ity's primary function is to en- courage private home building. Un- der the Congressional bill pending passage, FILA will be permitted to give more adequate insurance of housing loans, the Federal National Mortgage Association will he able to make direct loans of 100 per cent of house building money. Also, he added, the AHA will be able to make individual loans where there is no other financing available. Individ- ual loans will be made with lesser down payment and on longer terms, he eXpla ned.
 HOUSING SUB-STANDARD
 Representative Taylor who ad- mitted that Alaska housing was a pet subject of his, said that in travel from Ketchikan to Kotzebue he has observed that Alaska hous- ing is sub-standard in every com- munity
 "New industries are bound tc come in he said, but the Terri tory must keep away from the com, pany town which is in true. a form of serfdom."
