JOB IS VERY IMPORTANT

Hunderds of thousands of young Americans will go into the obmarket in June schools and colleges lease recruits for employment
 The important task of finding job is rarely appre- ciated by those who have steady and dependable en- ployment It is quite another problem however, for young people who have trained themselves and are ready to begin the business of making living.
 There time, not so very many years ago. when the absence of jobs created nsuperabe difficulties for millions of American families The likelihood that this will be the again is not threatening but in mid February acording to the Census Bureau, worker in every fourteen without work in the United
 Employment opportunities for those able and willing to work should be the concern of every American. There is future in this land of opportunity for any young young woman who is unable to find suit able employment Consequently the creation of mic opportunity is a matter of prime importance.

SOME STATISTICS
(Daily Alaska Empire

lengthy article in the New York Times by it's editor on education Benjamin Fine, reveals significant statistical information concerning the study of United States history in this countrys universities and colleges The main fact which emerges the basis of two veys made by Mr. Fine, one in 1922 and the other gently, is that in United States history pulsory present in 34 per centa fraction than onethird that so the institutions of post high school grade That figure represents gain of 16 per cent the one in the earlier survey.
 American educators a whole appear to regard the study of the history of their country important ad junc to democracy and good citizenship but they do not agree that it should be required They do not state any specific for their objection Moreover theirs is minority opinion Sixtytwo per cent of the educators queried in this survey declared themselves in favor of making United States history courses compu sory, opposed to the 51 per cent who did in the survey of 1922.
 In advocating the study of the history of country, whether such study be required held voluntary 80 per cent of the questioned did so because knowl edge of American history, acording to their view would be less likely to turn students toward other deologes Although do not look with any favor at all these foreign ideologes, not certain that we quite perceive the and effect relationship implied It would to that is far sounder to study thing for it's sake rather than antdote to something else

.McCrath Leads In
 Cancer Crusade

For the second consecutive year the little town of McGrath on the KuSkollwim River leads the field in the Cancer Crusade for Alaska. McGrath, first community to sub init final report in the current Cancer Crusade, rang up total of $500 for its contribution toward Cancer Control.
 This is according to announce ment made by the Rev. R. Roland Armstrong of Juneau, Territorial Crusade chairman.
 We believe" MT. Armstrong said, that McGrath'S contribution bids fair to become the highest per capita contribution in the en- tire United States. There are less than 150 residents of McGrath and a per capita contribution of more than $500 is a good target for any community to shoot at."
 Mrs. Pearl Laska, Director at Large of the Alaska Division of the American Cancer Society, handled the crusade for McGrath as she did last year, but she rais- ed the ante 25%o for 1850. Last years contribution was $400 and it also was the largest per capita in Alaska.
 Simultaneously with the re- lease of the McGrath story, MT. Armstrong reminded flask n S that the Cancer Crusade in Alaska will extend through May. Cru sades are already under way in other communities. Nome is ex- pected to ring the starters bell for hers, early next week. An nouncement of the appointment of the local Crusade chairman and a working committee to support him in each town may be expect ed later this week, MT. Armstrong stated.

Foster Leaves For AIeutian Islands to Study Conditions
Juneau Empire)

Don C Foster, area director of the Alaska Native Service is on the first stage of a journey which will take him far out on the Aleu- tian Chain to study the conditions under which the island natives live.
 Accompanied by his wife, his daughter Kara Lee, l3, and Earl Intolubbe, ANS education super visor, Foster will leave from Sitka on the ANS ship North Star Mon day.
 After studying conditions on a number of Aleutian Islands, in cluding Atka, where 30 former prisoners of the Japanese live, Foster will travel to Naknek, Goodnews Bay, Hooper Bay, and as far north as Gambell on St. Lawrence Island in the Boring Sea.
 He said that study of natives living conditions would be made at 10 villages while two 1000 gal lon oil tanks are being installed.
 The tanks will be filled with bulk oil carried in tanks aboard the North Star and landed on tank lighters. Foster said the tanks and use of bulk oil will cut down the cost of fuel in the villages and eliminate serious fire hazard which accompanies storage of fuel oil in drums.

Fair Deal" twill Bankrupt u. S."
By The Associated PresS)

bid today to win control of Con- gress with a charge that Truman Administration policy twill wreck the United States and reduce it to bankruptcy.'
 That charge, uttered by Senator Taft of Ohio, was the official COP reply to President Truman's self styled "non-political" cross -coun- try speaking tour which ended yesterday.
 The Ohio Republican spoke last night over a nationwide radio hookup. Besides attacking Demo- cratic domestic policies, Taft laid down a Republican pledge to op- pose communism abroad and eliminate it from government agencies at home.
 Tn a strictly Republican fight, Gov. James E. Duff and his slate of candidates won a major vic tory in Pennsylvania yesterday over the 30-year-old statewide po- litical organization headed by for mer Senator Joseph R. Grundy.
 Duff himself won the COP Sen atorial nomination by better than tWo-to-one edge over Rep. John C. Kunkel, the Grundy can fn Duff, won the Republican Guber- material nomination handily over Jay Cooke, endorsed by Grundy.
 Duff-supported candidates also won nomination in contests for four statewide offices. The pri- mary was the most bitterly con- tested in Pennsylvania in decades.
 Duff, who will oppose Demo- cratic Senator Francis J. Myers in November, saw national tinge in his triumph over what he called "Grundyism-government by a few. for the benefit of the few, at the expense of the public"
 Railing the result, Duff said:
 eve can guarantee a Republi- can President in 1852 fthe policy now adopted in Pennsylvania is carried out nationwide.
 Taft's speech climaxed continu- ed Republican criticism of MT. Truman's 6,0OO-mile trip to the northwest and back.
 The President, who had styled his trip a report to the people" challenged the Republicans to "come up with something better than his flair deal" program.
 Taft said Democratic policies have raised the threat of third world war and at home have pointe dthe nation toward regi- mentation and socialism, leading to bankruptcy. He said:
 The general program of the Truman crusade is clear. Promise ever y IlllIlS, dllNi ilopCs bo O'Sh l" up with government money. Ev- cry American knows in his heart that such a policy will wreck the United States and reduce it to bankruptcy It will bring, first in flation, and then depression"
 Tn New York, COP leaders sur prised the Democrats by propos- ing Mrs. Wendell L. Willkie, wi dow of the late Presidential nom- inee as a coalition candidate for Congress. The Republicans sug- gested the Democrats join in backing her fo rthe 18th District seat held for 16 years by the left wing Rep. Vito Marcantonio, New York's American Labor party
