THIS IS AN EDIDOORIAL

Do not mistake this for editorial. It is an ediDOORial,
 It is written to bring to the attention of the people those ordinary outside doors of the Federal Building, if such thing is necessary
 Doors are hung for a reason, and we think that hanging too good for the Federal Building doors. Of course they do fulfill of their functions They do keep the air in and cold air out. But when it comes to providing place for entrance and exit they fall down the job perhaps they stand up too firmly the job. It depends on the way you look at it.
 Not much larger than ordinary doors, their weight is out of proportion. Only muscle-bound supermen, Metre Dame linemen especially conditioned Fed eral employees manipulate them with ease.
 Ordinary people strain, red-faced, as they risk hernia to pull the outside doors open.
 At the Seward Street entrance to the post office, there are doors which not only weighty but are mean tempered enough to pay one back for the audacity of exerting his we-earned muscles. Say you spent s2o5 worth of energy to pull them open Ii only s1 75 worth of energy necessary the remaining energy is used in snapping toward the closed position

Independsnt Congressman

Congressman Usher Burdick, a big, shaggy bear of a man, has house leaders on the spot and cry ing for mercy
 Burdick, a North Dakota ranch CT and ex-football great, wears a battered cowpoke's hat and is as independent as they come. Nomin- ally he is a Republican, but he votes them as he sees them. Lead- CTS on both sides of the aisle, how ever, would like him to forget his resolution for an investigation of Congressional payrolls.
 Tn the cloakroom arguments, Bur dick says bluffly, "out my way the folks kept asking, what about them crooks in Crongress? Is Drew Pearson the only one in Washing ton worrying about them?' Wed better clean our house proper, if people are goining to have any respect for Congress. We should bs the first ones to put stop, voluntarily, to kickbacks and pay roll padding"

Diplomatic Pouch

The diplomatic grapevine from Moscow reports that Stalin has added two high-ranking Russian to the Politburo-A. M. Suslov, di- rector of the Cominform and P. K. Pomarenko, the former premier Of White Russia. Their appointment is interpreted as meaning that Sta lin is alarmed at the spread of Titoism through other parts Of Europe. The Formosan Inde- pendence League has sent peti- ton to General MacArthur signed by 8O,00O natives urging him to order American troops to occupy Formosa. MacArthur used to per- suade the joint chiefs of staff not to abandon Formosa to the Chin csc Communists. British Foreign Minister Bevin has decided to make special visit to Italy to see if he can talk the Italian Govern ment into soft-pedaling the bitter anti-British campaign in the It. allan Press. Bevin is reported ready to transfer 200 British jet fight CTS to the Italian Air Force as a token of Britains good will.

THESE DAYS
 --B " GEORGE :. SOKOLSKY
THE HALF-CENTURY YEAR-x

THE HALE-CENICkI EAR-A
 In this series of articles, I have attempted, within the confines of this limited space, to indicate a swiftly changing, almost cataclys- mic historic century. The Nine teenth Century, after 1915, had set tied down to the advantages of the industrial revolution, to the pro- fits of colonialism, and to those stabilized patterns of life often re- ferred to as Victorian. While it was possible then to define such a word as "cad" unmistakably, there were, nevertheless, revolts even against definitions. These revoltS poured over into the Twentieth Century appearing in forms which startle the elders.
 In a period of intense activity, men emerge who at the moment loom gigantic but who, in perspec- tive, appear as pygmies or even gargoyles on the sands of time. All the great names of the French revolution wither before the force of Napoleon who sought, what has so often failed, the union of Eu- rope under one leadership. Yet, Napoleon will not live in the hearts of men or in their minds as the equal of his contemporaries, Beet hoven, Goethe, Kant.
 It is infinitely more difficult in 1850 to find the leading personality of his period under review. Time" magazine of swift conclusions,

Luxury of a Car
Anchorage NewS)


 How much do you think it costs to own and operate automobile?
 Unless you keep records, most of you are going to be surprised at figues recently developed by the Brookngs Institute firm that has fondness TOT dealing in facts and figures.
 Their study recently showed that the average S2OOO car operated 10000 miles in year. can De expected to cost slightly than cents mile That's Stateside operation The Alaskan dfferentlal should put it conservatively at ten cents. Simple arithmetic makes that somewhat more than Slooo per year.
 Of course there variables. But the average motorist probably has idea that, over a period or time he is spending about $2O week for his auto mobile.
 Naturally this cost includes everything - gasoline and oil tires repairs depreciation licenses, insur- ance garage and what not connected With the necessity or luxury both, of owning and driving car.

President Truman gave House Republican Leader Joe Martin of Massachusetts a hearty handclasp before entering the House Chamber to deliver his "State of the Union message.
 You're looking mighty good, Joe" beamed Truman. How do you do it?"
 "Oh, that's because we Republi- cans don't have many responsibil- ities," replied Martin.
 The President was somewhat up- set by COP heckling during his references to the Republican 8oth Congress. And when he retired to Speaker Rayburns office following the speech, John Mccormick of Massachusetts perked him up.

 To leave the earth, an atomic powered rocket would shoot to the earth's cutter atmosphere and circle the earth at satellite speed' of 18,000 miles per hour. Then an extra burst of 5000 miles per hour would be necessary to take off into space.

has hit upon Winston Churchill who played an important and dra- matic role in the war years and then succumbed to political desuet- ude and elder statesmanship. Some in their hearts believe that history will name Franklin D. Roosevelt as an Alexander the Great. But actually more of the world lives by Aristotle than knows of AleXander's famous horse or that Alexander was called Islander in India.
 Roosevelt unquestionably altered the way of life of his own country somewhat, much less than his de- tractors anticipated, much moro than his apologists admit. But he lived in the era of Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and others who are altering the habits of men. His association with Stalin was Of greater historic importance than his permanent impress upon the United States; in the history of such countries as Poland, China, Czechoslovakia, his name will be synonymous with evil; in Soviet Russia it is extolled already as model of international friendship. In the United States, it is much too early to measure him with fin ality, and although his friends would mummify him into a Diety and his enemies would paint him as a lesser Caligula, he probably will come out as very human Wood- row Wilson, who, by great physical and psychological force, by a na- tive charm, attracted mass affec- tion far beyond his capacity to think out his country's problems on moral plane.
 The personality that dominated the first half of the Twentieth Century was the ghost of Nine teenth Century philosopher who sought to fit all human activity in- to a philosophic system. That man was Karl Marx Most philosophers are read and argued over, stud jed in universities and written about by scholars Marx was applied to life by his disciple, Nocolai Len in. The application was startling and volcanic; it's impact changed the world.
 Beginning with the establishment of the Bolshevik State in Russia, Marxism has in three decades spread until, in one form or an- other, to a greater or lesser de- gree, it affects all the world. Per haps as many as 800,000,000 human being live under avowedly Marx ist Governments. The Fabian So- cialism of Great Britain is basic ally Marxist. The Fair Deal in the United States is sufficiently tinged with Marxism to indicate an af- finity for it.
 The teachings of Karl Marx were not so important in the field of economics as in the field of re- ligion. The failure to grasp the es- senaa of dialec tical materialism has confused many persons in the western world who assume that the conflict is between capitalism and socialism. Actually it is con- flict over the answer to the ques- tions, what is man? What is his place in Nature?
 It is because of this that the struggle over Marks influence in this Century has, in every country, developed into battle over basic ally religious ideas, with the Roman Catholic Church in the foreground as the defender of the Judiac- Christian civilization. Marxism and Christianity cannot co-exist.
 As we approach the second half of the Twentieth Century, God and Karl Marx stand embattled.
