and assassins" were some of the
names the Communists hurled at
the government.
Premier de Gasperi, white-faced
with anger, shouted that lit takes
nerves of steel to put up with
your continual insults. We are

Conservative Pahy's
Platform Dishonest,
Atf|ee Tells Miners
Nv the Assoeioted Press

DURHAM, England. July %
Prime Minister Attlee today called
the new Conservative Party plat
form "one of the most dishonest
documents I have ever read"
Speaking at an annual gathering
of English miners, Mr.. Attlee said
the Conservative program - an
nounced this morning and being
amplif1ed at Wolverhampton today
by Winston Churchlll-was only
a great piece of window dressing"
THE Conservative Party has
never been able to put forward a
real alternative policy to that of
the Labor Party" the Prime Min
lister said. What they tried to do
is work up every kind of grievance.
They indulge in wholesale abuse
of the government and they are
always suggesting that somehow
or other things would have been
better if they had been in power.
"Ihey would not. I shuddcr to
think what would have happened
had they had control of Britain"
Claims Great Start in Task.
eve have never led you to be-
lieve that the restoration of our
country would be an easy matter, .
Mr.. Attlee told thousands of min
ers and their families from all
parts of England.
1--WE have again and again
pointed out to you that evils Gre
ated by decades cannot be ended
in four years. But I claim I have
made q great start in that task. "
Answering Conservative cr.ti-
cism that only help from abroad
has permitted the Labor Govern
ment to maintain full employ
ment, Mr.. Attlee said:
I'VE are not ashamed if we had
loans from our friends in the
United States and Canada to help
us tide over this difficult period.
We are not ashamed that we are
taking Marshall aid to try and
help ourselves and the rest of
Europe.
"What is sometimes forgotten
Is the millions expended by this
country and the people Of this
country to help our friends in
other suffering countries
Churchill Held UNIFORMED.
The Prime Minister said his gov
ernment had been working on a
new system but the new system
was not strong enough to sustain
all the shocks"
Of Conservative Leader Church
i'll the Prime Minister said:
The strength of Churchill's
language is in adverse ratio to his
knowledge of the subject.
1T is unfortunate that his words
are taken at face value in other
countries. They just don't realize
It is just Winnie's sentiments"

Now that the board is working
I want to explain it to the people
mostly concerned. Much of the
talk about our production costs
being too high are untrue. Under
good management our people are
working hard and cost for cost
the price of the finished article
compares favorably with that in
America.
High Duty, Freight Cost Cited.
"A high duty in addition to
high freightage costs is the great
est difficulty when breaking into
dollar markets. We need a good
marketing system and must buy
more raw materials more cheaply
if costs are to come down."
The board. composed OF govern
ment trade experts and leading
industrialists was set up to stim-
ulate dollar exports.
The British Treasury refused to
comment on the announcement
that Canada has ruled out any
further loans to Britain.
Canada loaned Britain $780,

the United States loaned her
$3,750,000,0O
A spokesman for the Treasury

MINK LOSS FROM
 ARMY NOISE MAY
 BE up TO COURTS

WASHINGTON, March 3.-tR- Legislation to authorize Federal courts to determine the value of mink lost because of noisy Army airplanes caused old mink to kill kittens has been approved by, the House. It now goes to the Senate.
 Fred L. Koesing of Anchorage, estimated his loss at S7,070, while Hilda Links and E. J. Ohman of Anchorage estimated their loss at Sl2,799.
 The mink-farm owners told the House Judiciary Committee that in the spring of 1941, shortly after the young mink were born, Army airplanes engaged in maneuvers over Anchorage and the two mink farms.
 The unusual noise, they said, caused the old mink to kill the kittens and ruined their business.
 The owners originally filed claims for larger amounts with the Army. They were not allowed on the ground they had not been filed within one year.

ATTACK ON DENTAL BOARD

At time when many States calling for in creased proficiency and ability among applicants for dental licenses some members of Alaska's House of Representatives asking that the Terrtorys Board of Dental Examiners be nullfied that anyone be ad mitted to the practice of dentistry who has license in one of the States. There is reciprocity involved, and an Alaskan dentist cannot practice in other States without taking examinations from State boards
 Alaska has maintained through many years, a high standard dentistry. due largely to carefu! ex animation by the Board of Dental Examiners
 A bill such before the House would invite uuacks members of the profession who not recog- nized by the American Dental Association men who, because of their incompetence have to move from one own to another their patients finally become aware of their faulty work.
 It is said that this bill is endeavor on the part of some of the legislators, to grind the axe for one disgruntled dentist who has failed to pass the Dental Board.
 There must be some reason other than meets the eye why this bill keeps being revived.

 Everything was lovely, and we even had one solid uninterrupted hour together, when suddenly the telephone in the kitchen began to ring. l was very brave. I ignored it It rang and rang, but it didn't faze me at all. l just pretended not to hear.
 Finally the phone stopped, but about 30 minutes later it rang again. Though it was way off in the kitchen, nevertheless it had a certain air of persistency. Finally I could resist no longer. I picked up the receiver
 The United Press was calling to tell me that President Truman had sounded off at a dinner at the Reserve Officers Association. calling me an S. 0. b. They wanted my comment.
 I told them l was spending 9 quiet evening with my wife, anc that if Harry Truman wanted tc spend his evenings away from his wife making speeches about other people that was his privilege l didn't see why I should comment.
 But, said the United Press, other speakers at the dinner specifically mentioned you and the President's s remarks definitely were directed at you

COURT MARTIAL, NAVY, THROWN N

WASHINGTON, March 3.-tR- The Supreme Court has thrown out Navy court martial conviction ot Harold E. Hirshberg on charge of striking two fellow prisoners in Japanese prison camps.
 Hirshberg was sentenced to ten months confinement, to reduction from chief signalman to the rating of apprentice seaman, and to dis honorable discharge
 Hirshberg's appeal to the Supreme Court questioned the authority of the Navy court to try him. He was honoratly discharged after his re- turn from the Orient to New York. He re-enlisted the next day. Eleven months later he was served with the charges on which he was tried by court martial
 The Supreme Court ruled that Hirshberg obviously could not have been court martialed if he had not re-enlisted.

One request in the House of Representatives that received unanimous consent was that of MT Franklin, Tuesday, when he asked that the invocation by the Rev Walter A. Soboleff be spread upon the Journal.
 Here it is with approval, spread upon the editorial page of The Empire:
 o Great God of the Universe, Thou are perfect and we are willing to admit sins. In Thy power is strength from day to day. In Thy wisdom look upon with love and let us learn from Thee what laws to make and what laws and memorials to table indefinitely Let be grateful in these acts what to say and how to say it, and to be silent when we have nothing worth while to offer.
 Grant us conduct without reproach for the rest of this session and for all time We pray in the Masters Name. Amen.

Bills relaxing regulations for licensing dentists have been killed twice by the House and third bill has been introduced that would allow any dentist who is Army veteran with two years the service license without examination
 The charge has been made that the Dental Exam iners are refusing licenses to dentists, not on the merits of examinations, but to protect their own established practices to create their own monopoly
 That is pretty harsh charge to make against the Board of Dental Examiners, the members of which are men of standing in their professions and con- munities and we doubt that they would be so selfish as consider themselves closed body up to further their interests
 At time when regulations for other professions and trades being increased instead of relaxed why make it easier to become practicing dentist in Alaska?
 Whoever has toothache wants as good a man as he get to fix up that aching tooth not who can't pass the Territorys Dental Board.

MIR. TRUMAN's LEMON

When I was a youngSter l had prof named Edwin Tomlinson who used to hand out lot of advice which I didn't pay much attention to then, but which has proved valu- able since. One thing he advised was: If someone hands you a lemon, make it into lemonade"
 That's what I'd like to do with the lemon President Truman hand ed me the other night. I don't see any reason why the initials "S. o. B. should necessarily stand for what Mir. Truman meant them to mean. The meaning of any word is what's in peoples minds. Some English words are fighting terms in England though they have an innocent meaning here. When I was in Australia some years ago I was shocked to hear an Australian girl use word which never would be tolerated in polite society here. AStit At AilSoill AlotlllllS tlltIt.
 So words and their abbreviations are all a matter of education. GUS tom and general usage. And I am sure Mir. Truman Is good enough sport to join me in putting new interpretation on the initials IS. O. B."-which man much better mean Servants Of Brotherhood" When Harry Truman was a farm boy driving mules in Missouri. don't doubt that he needed some pretty strong language. I have nev- CT driven mules in Missouri. but I had 100 Missouri mules and 100 AL banian mule-drivers under my com mand in Yugoslavia once: and since the Albanians couldn't under stand Missourian and the mules couldn't understand Albanian, and since the Serbian corporal couldn't understand either I had to act as interpreter
 So, along with Harry Truman. I am familiar with mule drivers lan- guage.

 Mrs. P. has always talked about what would happen if I turned off the phone-her idea being that nothing would happen at all. The world, she said, would go on just as usual, and nobody would miss me, nor I them.
 So I told Ter 1 was going to settle down for a nice long evening with her, wasn't even going to look at my desk, and just to show that l really meant business, l turned off the phone.
 Of course. didnt turn off the phone in the kitchen--and I'm not quite sure whether this was by ac- cident or by design. With the phone turned off upstairs, you can still barely hear the phone in the kitch- en, but since it sounds faint and far away I am little braver about not answering it.
