SOVIET SEA POWER

Press dispatches indicate the Soviet Union is build ing up navy and commenting this, the Cincinnati Enquirer has the following to say on the subject
 Reversing the pattern of unfication that prevails here and in other countries, the Soviet Union has just set up separate Ministry of the Navy, to operate independently of the other armed forces. For the present least the Soviet Air Force remains con- sodated with the Red Army. The shift in organiza- tion coming after the disclosure of new naval building plans in Russia, to indicate that the Russians going to make a very great effort to develop their power in the years just ahead.
 It seems very unlikely that the Soviet Union will attempt to build conventional surface fleet strong enough to challenge that of the United States even that of Great Britain Neither does it appear Moscow will embark on any large air-sea program based on aircraft carriers. In neither could Russia hope to match the accumulated strength of the Western nations, unless a period of 10 or Is years.
 Cut off from the open oceans to very large extent Russia aspire to such naval power to be able to gain command of the But it might century. It might develop submarine forces strong enough to interrupt the communications of the great maritime powers
 Even now, the Russians have close to 300 sub- marines a fair share of them modern vessels far ex ceeding the performance of World War II types On this score they already have the of challeng ing Anglo American command of the open oceans The creation of a separate Navy Ministry, in this light is a warning cannot ignore

involve running row with politi- clans and pressure groups.
 The result is that our municipal ities get the small fry who are satisfied with jobs which even ii they managed them to the best of their abilities, would not be man. aged at all. There are some men who enter this service for the pub lie good and they stay on no mat ter what the torture of the spirit. Such men are the exceptions.
 In New York, where there are about 100 departments, one might select two or three as top grade managers-Robert Moses, Raymond Hilliard, pr. William Jansen. There are some others who are thoroughly honest and passably efficient. But to offset them is host of polit- ical activity.
 For instance, the Planning Com mission in any large city is tre- mendously important. In growing city of 8,000,000 it is of paramount significance. To head such a com- mission, a man should possess a knowledge of municipal engineer ing; he should have wide grasp of the sociology of his area; he should have a firm understanding of financial problems, not only of the municipality but of its people He should be imaginative but not a day-dreamer. It would best be an honorary position, headed up by a citizen of outstanding success and experience.
 To it, in New York, has been appointed Jerry Finkelstein, the manager of Mayor O'DWyer's cam raign for reelection. That is Mir Finkelsein's chief virture, namely that he successfully managed a reelection campaign. Prior to this he had been the publisher of 6 Civil Service newspaper.

 Later he worked out with his intimate adviser, David Moves, ar1d Chief Justice Fred Vinson the idea of sending the Chief Justice to Moscow for a talk with Stalin When this got back to the State Department, it was immediately transmitted by acting Secretary Robert Lovett to General Marsh all, then attending the LIN Assemb- ly meeting in Paris. Alarmed, Mar shall flew home for a quick two- day conference, during which Tru- man agreed not to make any peace move until it was cleared with our western allies or until Russia gave some tangible sign that it wanted peace.

Trouble Inside Russia

These are the State Departments ideas; and most diplomats and diplomatic observers believe these ideas sare correct. 4IA> aahRre1ia
 The unacceptable fact is that the IA men in the Politburo, who really make Soviet policy, are not going to change, no matter what Truman or anyone else in the U.S.A. says or does. The cnly thing that will change them is major force at home or major force abroad.
 As previusly pointed out in these columns, all is not well either in- side the satellite countries or in side Russia itself. There has been virtual revolt in Bulgaria, with sections of the army deserting; and there has been seething unrest in Hungary and Czechoslovakia Uni occasionally this is behind the crackdowns against the American legation and Robert Vogeler. The Russians don't want us to know what is happening in these areas.
 They fear that we will use the present restlessness of Soviet peo- pies to start a major propaganda drive to win them over to the free world. But they don't know how unimaginative and moribund we have become.
 What they fear could be done But not by abrupt White House handout; nor by Harry peace conferences; only by some of the most skillful planning for to- tai diplomacy this country has ever seen.

Certainly the operators and everyone dependent upon the coal business living lost heavily in this fasco.
 The dmnstration-specifically MT. Truman him. self-lost in this development for it exposed very clearly another instance of presidential neptness in dealing with national emergency The President did nothing about the coal strike until it almost too late Then his legal department proceeded against the union in the clumsest way possible The end did not come until the miners had grown desperate and the operators had been confronted with the ghasy policy of Federal seizure again.

Jerky MT. Truman

In the last few weeks, the Presi- dentlal restlessnesS for peace conference has been evident again. A shreWd diviner of public opinion, MT. Truman understands the Am erican public'S desire for one more talk with Russia before going full tilt into hydrogen arms race
 Yet many of his advisers were disappointed when he rushed out an abrupt press release telling the world that the United States would make the hydrogen bomb. They felt that he missed a great opportunity for a worldwide radio broadcast reviewing this country's many, many, moves for peace, a broadcast that would put the onus for the arms race where it belongs-di- rectly on the Russian doorstep
 The State Department was also upset when Mir. Truman hurriedly granted an interview with New York Times correspondent. Arthur Krock, after Krock shrewdly corn cred him at a dinner party given by Sen. Brien McMahon of Con- necticut. The President, in festive mood, definitely promised Krock the interview, and kept his word immediately thereafter, despite a previous promise to Secretary Ach- eson that he would make no pub lie statements on foreign policy without State Department clear ance.
 While the State Department isn't t going to admit this publicly, what it objects to in regard to current White House peace thinking, are two things:
 l The jerky unexpectedness of MT. Trumans ideas. There is nc continuity. The President can be bawling out Stalin one day, as he did to the amaZement of Winston Churchill and Jimmie Byrnes at the Potsdam conference. And later he can be telling friends that Joe Stalin is a man who would be reasonable if you could only sit down with him at the same table
 9 The Russians, in contrast, have a fixed, firm continuous policy namely. to break the democratic systems of the free world. And while they may bend this policy ever so slightly, they have not and apparently will not break it, merely because of a peace conference oi

OUR DIRTY CITIES

As I travel about the country, am appalled, by the change that has come over our cities. They are dirty. Their streets are dirty. They have lost the spic-and-span ap- pearance which they had even in the depression years. There seem no longer to be good neighbor- hoods except in the suburbs.
 The excuse usually is, for the larier cities, that parked cars prevent proper cleaning of the streets. But that does not explain why the cars are parked constantly day and night so that streets may not be cleaned. Nor does it explain why every open lot, wherever a building has been torn down, be- comes an eyesore, a dump. Nor does it explain the unfinished ap- pearance of every city as one enters it either by railroad or by auto mobile.
 The real answer is of course that, as our cities have grown they have become too expensive to run. New York, for instance, is so large as to be unmanageable by the kind of officials we get True, the Mayor and other elected officials are not expected to he ex- perts about anything but getting elected. It is hoped, however, that they would sccrr the count'v fol experts in the various fields oi city management. Few competent men will acc'rt positions which

hLkSkA STEAM SAYS UNION BEST METHOD 10 OBTAIN SEAMEN

SEATTLE, Feb. 4-tR-A steam ship company executive said today the union hiring hall is the most efficient method of obtaining work men.
 The statement was made by J. F. zumdieck, operating manager of he Alaska Steamship Company, at National Labor Relations Board .earing of unfair labor practices against the concern, two other com- )anies and the National Union of Iarine Cooks and Stewards (CIO) were being aired.
 Zumdieck said the union hiring lall was especially effective for last minute replacements of crew mem- bers. He said it did not make for efficient operation to have mem- )ers of two unions employed in the same department aboard ship.
 The complaints charge the union md the companies discriminated against members of the rival Pacific Marine Stewards Union (AFL). The board said the hearing would be moved to San Francisco next week for additional testimony. The Am srican Mail Line, Ltd, and Pope md Talbot, Inc, also were named in the complaints.

ELKS' AMBULANCE OFFER ACCEPTED
 BY CITY COUNCIL

The City of Juneau has decided to accept the offer made by Lodge No. APO. BP.OE.. of an ambulance for the Gastineau Channel area.
 The acceptance was made in the form of a motion which passed unanimously at the meeting of the Council last night. Strings attached to the offer were also accepted.
 The vehicle will be provided with a driver and heated storage space at ely expense. and all money paid for the use of the ambulance will go into a special fund for replace ment of equipment.
 Cost of operation of the ambu- lance will be borne by the city.
 A committee will be named to supervise operation of the ambu- lance and set up a schedule of rates. It will consist of one member selec- ted by Exalter Ruler of the Elks, one named by the Council, and a third chosen by the first two members.
 After the council had accepted the Elks' offer Wallis George, rep resenting the Elks, said an order will be placed immediately for a fully equipped ambulance.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson said a letter of thanks would be offered the Elks by the city for the organi- zations civic enterprise.
 He said that it may be possible to house the ambulance in the Fire Hall if the oldest firetruck can be stored elsewhere He indicated that if the proposed annexation of the Highlands to the city passes a spe- cial election the firetruck could be moved to a place closer to that part of the city.
 Both police and firemen have eX- pressed their willingness to operate the vehicle, he said.
 The ambulance will be for use throughout the Gastineau Channel area.
 AB Hall Site
 Ordinance 327 CD, providing for the donating and granting to the Territory of Alaska the lots upon which the Arctic Brotherhood Hall is situated as a site for new Terri torial Building was read for the third time and passed.
 The Ordinance calls for special election at which qualified Juneau voters will have the opportunity to make the final decision as to whether or not the action proposed in the ordinance will be taken.

agreeing that the ordinance as it . now stands is acceptable to the i Board.
 The third reading of the ordi- nance had been delayed while city officials and the Board discussed matters concerning the proposal.
 The ordinance also calls for grant, ing the Territory an option on the lot on which the City Hall now stands and the vacant lot north of it in case an extension to the Ter ritorial Building is required. The option is limited to three years, and the ordinance provides that if the City Hall property is needed, the Territory shall obtain an acceptable site for new municipal building for Juneau and turn it over to the city without charge.
 Election Regulations
 The new ordinance which will make additions and changes to the city's election regulations was read for the second time. Although it was thought to have been passed in two readings already, city records revealed it had been read but once.
 The ordinance will do away with permanent registration and provide for the registration of voters at polling places on election days.
 After hearing a letter from c. L. Lewis, president and owner of the Juneau Water Company, the Coun- cil authorized Mayor Hendrickson to request a certified accountants statement of the company's finan- cial standing at the end of l949.
 Although such a request had already been made, the letter from Lewis included only brief sum- mary of the company's financial position.
 Councilman James Larsen termed the shallow installation of some of the water mains and lead-offs from the mains gross negligence" He 
 said they had been laid so shallow they had caused a great deal o1 trouble during the freezing weather.
 He declared he favored move by the council which would authorize the city engineer to be on hand when mains were laid to see they are set at a reasonable depth.
