Instead of summer of inactivity, Juneau squadron members of the Civil Air Patrol planned several spot" events last night at the last regular meeting of the season. These will be announced later.

 Several changes in appointments were announced by Allan G. Mar cum, commander of the Juneau squadron. Following the resignation )f Everett R. Erickson, adjutant, Charles Porter was named to that post. He had been operations officer, the position now assigned to Emit Soldin

WAR, NOT DEFICIT, HIS WORRY, SAYS
 PRES. TRUMAN

WASHINGTON, May 18 = R = President Truman said today there is nothing alarming in the govern ment deficit and that he will con- tinue to use federal funds to pre- vent another war.
 He told news conference that the deficit grew out of the passage of what he called an insane tax bill. He referred to the income tax cutting measure passed by the Re- publican controlled 80th Congress. If it hadn't been for that. MT. Tru- man said, there would not be any deficit.
 The deficit, he went on, is not alarming. He said that we'll even tually balance the budget.
 What we are trying to do now, the President said, is to prevent another war.
 MT. Truman would not comment on tax legislation now before the House Ways and Means Commit tee. He said he couldn't comment on any tax bill while it is in prepara- tion.

This Hypothesis Seems Logical

The hypothetical military situation confront
ing United States and Canadian troops in the
current war games in Yukon Territory is one that
well could become a grim reality, unless our
Alaskan defenses are materially strengthened
The ground and air forces in Exercise Sweet
briar" are proceeding on the assumption that
an enemy, presumably Russia, already has struck
the first blow and has succeeded in seizing Alaska
The problem is to halt further invasion and
eventually, to oust the invaders from American
shores
There seems to be little doubt as to the
ability of an enemy to capture Alaska with
minimum of effort. Governor Gruening recently
told congressional committee that Alaska could
be taken overnight by or two parachute
divisions. General Bradley has complained that
troop strength in the vital outpost is limited by
lack of sufficient housing Governor Gruening's
warnings of danger seem justified, when 1t is
considered that the Army's latest report showed
only one regimental combat battalion and one
anti-aircraft battalion on duty in the territory
We can i'll afford to let Alaska go to an enemy
by default, however. 1t is important to us for
defensive and offensive purposes. 1t would be
extremely valuable to an enemy as staging base
for air attacks on Canada and the United States.
The present maneuvers will throw light on the
question of whether it is better to concentrate
on preventing an invader from establishing an

Help Wanted at the ACC

Sumner Pike is we'll qualified to serve as
acting chairman of the Atomic Energy Com
mission AS one of the first five members ap-
pointed to it in November, 1946, he is intimately
acquainted with its administrative machinery,
its functions It's problems, its responsibilities and
its tremendous significance in the life of the
Nation and the world. Accordingly, being an
experienced veteran in the field, he can be
relied upon to do good job in taking over top
direction from David E. Lilienthal, who returns
to private life today after nineteen years of
public service.
But Mr.. Pike, whose own term is due to
expire on June 80 will be playing only
temporary role. The President still must find
permanent successor to Mr.. Lenthal, and he
must also replace Lewis S. Strauss, who is sched-
uled to retire on April Is. Apparently he has
been having difficulty locating the exceptional
men he needs. Either that, or he has been unable
to persuade them to take on the rigors of public
service. An appeal to patriotism may be in order

John L. Lewis Three Little Words
By James Y. Ne,Ufon

A coal strike certainly is not unusual,
as even the smallest child must know.
But the present coal crisis is unusual in
that argument over three little words
had about as much to do with causing
it as did the customary squabble over
wages and other money matters. The
mine operators say it was the major
cause.
The three little words are "able and
willing" not an expression of affection
from John L. Lewis
The last two contracts between Mr..
Lewis United Mine Workers and the
soft coal operators have included a. line
IN the preamble saying that the miners
will work only when liable and willing"
lhe words seemed fairly innocent when
originally inserted and the operators
raised no loud objection to their in
cluS1on. Certainly they never dreamed
the phrase would assume the Importance
1t has, although even then Mr.. Lewis
was playing the lead in every operators
nightmare
But in the past year Mr.. Lewis has
assumed control Of production of coal
in this country. He has decreed how
many days week the mines are to be
"SAhSA oA1o A1oo CfCu SpcClllEQ GIG QaYS.
AND the operators place full blame for
thelr predicament on the three words,
particularly the last one, willing"
Mr.. Lewis has used it like spigot to
turn coal production off and on. In the
last seven and half months, the miners
nave worked full week only three times.
The rest Of the time they have either
been on three-day week or on strike.
Mr.. Lewis used this contract sleeper"
for the first time last June when he put
the 40O,O00 miners on "a week of stabi-
lizing inactivity" He had warned earlier
that If tough times came to the coal
industry and the operators did not act to
spread work among all the miners, the
union would take over the "stabilizing"
job. Since the old contract expired last
June 80, the operators say, Mr.. Lewis
has used liable and willing" to pressure
them into contract on his terms.
In months of wrangling over a new
contract, eliminating in the present
strike. the operators have contended that
the basic issue with them was the re-
turn to them of control of their proper
ties and of coal production. BY that
they mean the words liable and willing
must be eliminated from any future
contract. Because of the controversy
over this point, the coal negotiators
never reached real discussion of the
economic terms of new agreement,
such as wages and the size of welfare
fund payments.
Last Saturday, Judge Richmond B.
Keech signed an order preventing Mr..
Lewis from using four of his contract de-
mands until the National Labor Relations

Every Man q Joiibird

Police Chief Barrett has amazingly simple
plan for cleaning up crime in Westinghouse
simple that only Ma jor Barrett would be apt to
think of it..
The police, it seems, have not had much luck
In rounding up the gamblers, the dope pedders
and the illegal whisky sellers. These fellows are
too hard to catch. But, says Major Barrett,
if the police can't catch the real criminals they
can catch their customers and this eventually
might drive the racketeers out of business.
The idea Is to get new law defining
"dive," whatever that might turn out to be, and
making it an offense-dsorderly conduct-to be
found in such place. customer might be
doing nothing worse than drinking a cup of
coffee, but If Major Barrett's men should find
him in dive he could be taken to a police
station, charged with disorderly conduct and
required to post collateral ranging up to $1O0.
Major Barrett says that his men have been
experimenting along this line without benefit of
legal sanction. They arrest patrons of suspected
dives, take them to police headquarters for
questioning, and make them put up $5 collateral.
The police have not the slightest legal right to
do this, but they do it anyhow. If victim of
this form of harassment decides to go to court
he gets his money back because the police have
no case against him. Most of these victims.
however, prefer to avoid embarrassment and loss
of time, and are content to forfeit their collateral
This is a pretty high-handed business. If
Major Barrett, without any authority, is arrest
ing people who have done nothing wrong he
could really pack the jails with inoffensive
citizens If the law he requests should be passed.
Perhaps, If he had lawful authority to do what
he is now doing extra-legally, he might exercise
more self-restraint. But at the possible risk of
trip to police headquarters and the loss of SIS
collateral, it Is hereby suggested that the odds
are against 1t.
