HOTEL SPONSORS
 INDEPENDENT FIVE

Palmer's Independents are in- dependent no longer, it was an- nounced this week by Dale Roet- man, team captain. The five has found a sponsor in the Matanus- ka Hotel.
 Maroon and gold suits carry ing the new sponor's name already have been ordered for the squad. They'll be appearing on the local floor just as soon as they can be flown here from the states.
 The future schedule of the Ho- tel five still is not fixed, accord

ing to Roetman, but the Indepen- dents application to the Anchor age City League has been with drawn. He is formulating a plan whereby the present Independent squad may be split into two squads, one to wear Hotel colors and the other to continue play ing as an Independent five. Games then would be scheduled for both teams on the same night, thus permitting court fans to watch two games for single ad- mission price.
 There still are openings for additional players on either five, MT. Roetman said. The squads practice on each Tuesday and Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in the Palmer Gym. Any basket ball-minded male is invited to turn out.

New Street Leads
 From Highway
 Direct to Coop Areu

A new access street into the heart of the Coop area in Palm CT was cut through this week. The new street turns from the Palmer-Anchorage Highway, block above the present main thoroughfare at the corner on which Hartley's Garage is locat- ed. The street makes it possible for traffic from Anchorage to drive directly to the Coop area.

Coptuin Burke's Promotion

One version of the promotion of Captain
Arleigh A. Burke to the rank of rear
admiral is that he was recommended for
advancement by the Navy Selection Board,
but that subsequently his name was re-
moved from the list upon orders from
higher authorities" It is said that this
was punishment for Captain Burke's activ-
tiles in connection with the fight against
the Defense Departments unification
policies Some time later, according to
this version, there was change of heart
at the Pentagon, and Captain Burke's
name was added to the list of rear admirals
which has now been approved by the
President.
There is circumstantial evidence to sup
port this account, but there is no way OF
establishing whether it is literally correct.
And verifcation is not matter of first
Importance.
The important thing is that the pro-
motion has gone through. Captain Burke
Is a fine naval officer with an excellent
war record. To have passed him over
would have been indicative of pettiness on
the part of his superiors, and would have
been further blow to an already lowered
morale in the fighting branch of the naval
service. The decision to promote him,
regardless of when it was made or by
whom, was both right and wise.

Failure and Success

II the criterion of success In the Com
nlunity Chest campaign. is to meet or ex-
ceed the ars-and-centS goal, then the
1850 campaign in the Metropolitan Area
has failed again.
But success is not to be measured In
such terms alone. On the credit side
this year is the fact that more money was
raised than last year. More contributors
helped to bring the fund to more than
$s,550,000 BY March 1t is expected that
additional contributions will have added
at least $4,000, leaving a deficit of less
than $40O 900, or about 10 per cent.
There are other things to be considered
in attempting to draw an arbitrary line
between success and failure. This past
campaign brought new apd younger
eroup of workers into the large army OF
volunteers who labored unselfishly In be-
half of the communitys welfare response
bilities. The fine and deserved tribute to
Frank ]. Luchs, campaign chairman, paid
at the concluding luncheon OF the Chest
workers yesterday, was symbolically con-
ferred on a host of other men and women
who worked with him. This years Or
eanization began earlier than in recent
years. Mr.. Luchs and his colleagues con-
tributed uncounted hours to perfecting
new methods of overcoming weak spots
revealed in previous campaigns. strong
foundation has been laid for an even
better approach next year.
The final results of the washington
Area campaign will not be known for
several months. But the showing today
seems to put us with the majority of cities
OF the country this year which, failing
to meet the 1850 goals, registered a dis
tinct advance over last year. In his final
address yesterday to the campaign work.
ers, Chauncey G. Parker, president OF the
Community Chest Federation, pointed out
that this years campaign marks the
twentieth in the history of the local Chest
movement, and in that period people here
have contributed a total exceeding $751;
100000. ,r .ee.I .. s.a .x t&,.
That is great accomplishment regard
less of how short 1t may be in relation to
the total amounts that were sought over
the past two decades. It is tribute to
the public-spirited generosity of an in
creasing number of people who have come
to regard the Community Chest cam
paigns as the best method yet devised of
meeting the obligations of the community
to its less fortunate members.

Dangerous ReckIessness

Regardless of whether the Chinese
Nationalists' blockade of Communicated
ports is legal or illegal, the fact remains
that the blockade is being enforced with
arms and that any ship which tries to
run the blockade is apt to be shot at. This
being the situation, the apparent deter
mination of the Isbrandtsen Line to send
another of its ships into the danger zone
Is beyond understanding
It is true, as the lines offlcials have
pointed out, that our State Department
has refused to recognize the validity of
the blockade. But the department also
has announced that the port of Shanghai
and its approaches constitute a zone of
danger" and has warned all shipping
companies and shipmasters against expos
ing American lives and property to block
ade risks. It has followed this warning
with notice that any ship captain who
fails to heed the warning may be deprived
Of his license.
Yet, in the face of these warnings and
despite the fact that two OF it's vessels
already have been fired on in Chinese
waters, the Isbrandtsen Line has criticized
the departments stay-clear policy and has
indicated that one of its ships. the Flying
Arrow, may defy both the State Depart
nent and the Nationalists. THIS y tha

Making Both Ends Meet

The discharge Of some one hundred and
forty employees from the Capital Transit
Company, coming at this time Of year.
especially, Is bitter news for them md
undoubtedly for their fellow employees who
have just won another wage increase
by an arbitration award. E. C. Giddings,
vice president OF the company, is authority
for the statement that IT Is one OF the
steps made necessary by that award. 1t
will produce payroll reduction approx
mating $500, ,e0O-about third of the
payroll INCREASE resulting from the ar
biter's decision. +
Whether other economies Of the sort
will follow Immediately evidently depends
on the company's success in obtaining
another fare increase, On the same day
the reductions irs force was announced,
the company filed q petition In Maryland
for two-cent zone increase which, If
granted, might produce about 10000
but still leave the company operating at
a deficit in Maryland. Company adver-
tisements in Washington newspapers are
manifestly paving the way with the public
for a fare increase here soon. The ques-
tion yet to be solved, of course, is whether
economies of operation plus higher fares
will put the company in the black and
enable it to continue operation underp
yate ownership.
If what is happening in Washington
were an isolated case, there would be ample
cause to question the policies now being
followed. But practically the same pic
ture is revealed in other large cities Of
the country where costs OF operation are
exceeding earnings. The local situatio1 Is
more or less typical. But it presents .

only American shipping company, Incl
dentally that has continued to operate
In the Shanghai area. If the Isbrandtsen
Line should carry out its seeming inten-
ton to make this defiant gesture with
the Flying Arrow, it will be committing
itself to a course of dangerous recklessness
that is a threat not only to American lives
and property, but to our efforts to bring
peace to the turbulent Far East. 1t is
hard to believe that the company will be
so irresponsible as to subject its employees,
its property and It's Government to such
unnecessary hazards.

A Dreadful Prophecy

It certainly is relief to know that a
Los Angeles anthropologist sees nothing
but stuff and nonsense in New York
beautician's prophecy that in the year
1000 the average American woman will be
over six feet tall and wear size eleven shoes.
In the welter of dire predictions being
made right now, this surely is one of the
direst. Praise be, therefore, that an au
thority-Dr. Joseph Wechler of the Uni
versity of Southern California-has vigor-
ously assailed it as poppycock not to be
worried about. ...., -. ...s,,
The beautician has based her forecast
on some figures showing that our women
on the average--wore size three shoes and
were scarcely five feet high in 1900, whereas
today they are five-and-a-half feet high
and wear much bigger shoes. She has
assumed that the same rate of growth will
continue during the next half century,
with the result that the American female
than whom, Of course, there has been
nothing lovelier or more fragile up to now
eventually will look like hulking full
back, real Amazon, night-club bouncer,
or Tarzaness of the Apes.
Needless to say, this is not the sort of
prophecy that men can take without
shuddering. The American woman, who
owns nearly everything in the country and
who has no trouble at all twisting the
poor male around her pretty little finger,
is formidable enough already. Imagine
her ducking her head under doorways and
looming into rooms with a. heavy and
emphatic tread, in size umpteen shoes!
The thing is dreadful to contemplate.
Thank goodness for DR.. Wechler's scien-
tific assurances that it can't happen here.
