The G.adG. Roele4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

CONSIDERABLE argument is being heard up and down the street, and criticism of the pro- posed $200,000 Power Bond on the ground that it comes so soon on the heels of the last one. And that one proved to be an insufficient amount.
 AS WE SEE TT, the criticism may be justified, but it is all water under the bridge now and there is nothing we can do but pass another one. We must have power, and this is the quickest way to get it.
 Undoubtedly, a hydro plant would provide the c h p t power, and, as is being said, t might be entirely possible and feasible to erect a hydroplant. B U T, preliminary planning, engineering, obtaining of a site and erection of plant, plus the running of lines, would con- sume a great amount of time, and the cost would be S500,0O0 at the very least, if it could be done for that amount. We can not wait. The City is operating on hazardous margin now and the plant superintendent cannot guarantee that Seward will not suffer some shortage even this winter The plant is operating at capacity.
 SOMETHING HAS to be done quickly. Even with the passing of the bond issue, erection of a building, purchase and install ation of an additional generator and putting it into use will not be possible under six months at the very least. This means that every user in Seward must be on the alert at all times to con- serve as much electricity as he can to get us through the winter and Spring of 1851.
 WE AGREE with the grumb- Ter, but cannot see anything else to do at this time but to pass the bond issue Dec. 11th.

Luncheon Honors
Miss Bess 0'Nei|I

Who was most confused when
plans were being made for Miss
Bess O'Neill's luncheon at the Bar
anof Friday, it is hard to tell
Because it was her last day on
her job as administrative assistant
in the Fish and Wildlife Service,
Miss O'Neill invited all of the
women in the Fish and Wildlife
offices to be her guests at luncheon.
She did not know that the twenty
girls in the offices had already
planned a no-host party for her.
So the office plans went ahead
under the supervision of organizer
Edith Moore and Baranof finally
found that the ONeill luncheon
and the Fish and Wildlife luncheon
were one and the same.
Miss O'Neill, who had planned
to be hostess, was guest of honor
instead and was surprised and
pleased with the corsage and CEN
terpiece presented her.
Besides the honor guest, those

hood and statehood has nothing to do with the defense
of the Territory the nation.
At the statehood hearings in Washington two
months ago Admiral Wood was bold enough to say
just that
From his testimony quote:
ut has been stated that statehood for Alaska
going to bolster somehow the national defense
I'm my opinion it makes difference whether
Alaska is State a Territory far national
defense is concerned AS matter of fact, since the
federation Of the Original Thirteen Colonies the
mon defense has been just that
Our plans, purposes policies and pratices in the
common defense have been offered without regard
standardization. U
During the period of frontier days, the Ter
ritories were in way and because of necessity better
defended than the original States
In recent times, Alaska, Guam, Puerto Rico the
Canal Zone and Hawaii received the utmost atten-
ton in scheme of national defense In other words
the status as to State or non-State never entered
defensive or offensive calculations.
Were Alaska to become State tomorrow, it
would not alter am sure the general overall con-
sideration of our defense problem.
BE advised that am not debating the merits
of statehood I simply pointing out that the
question of the national defense is not germane to
the issue"
Admiral WOOD nad previously given credit 10 MY
chief of staff . . Sim MacKnnon, of Juneau my
operations chief Capt John White from Fair
banks" and Bob Ellis, in command of installations at
Attu "All of these people did very fine service and
were typical of a great many others"
The admiral concluded his testimony thus:
I'm conclusion I would say that all persons re-
ponsble the national defense-the President the
Congress- the Department of Defense and otherswill
do their duty the utmost irrespective OF the political
status of Alaska State Territory. Thank you for
your courtesy"
And, we thank Admiral Wood for his testi-
mony the question.
We think, in this instance, his judgment is better
than that of Senator Magnuson.
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1950-07-03

the President reminded his Sec
rotary of Defense that the meet
ing had been called to discuss
Korea.
Next day, however, before TIE
second Blair House meeting, john
son slipped in to see Truman ahead
of the others. Using General Mac
Arthurs argument, given during
Johnson's recent trip to Japan, he
told the President:
The most strategic point in the
Pacific is Formosa. 1t was the
springboard used by the Japs to in
wade the Philippines, and the Com
munists might use it for another
Philippine invasion. Our control OF
Formosa would completely stop IA
Communist invasion to the south. .
Johnson's argument finally had
an effect on the President, for, at
the meeting which followed, he
brought up Formosa himself. Ache
son then agreed to the plan-later
announced-by which the 7th Fleet
would prevent any Communist in
vasion of Formosa, but with Chang
Kai-Shek also ceasing his bombing
of the Chinese mainland.

u. S. War StOckpiles

Thanks to the stockpiling pro-
gram, the sudden Korean invasion
did not catch the U. S. A. as
empty as Pearl Harbor.
This time the United States has
enough strategic materials in its
warehouses to meet an emergency
even though the stockpiling pro-
gram is behind schedule.
For example, we have enough
manganese on hand to keep the
steel mills producing full blast for
two years. This would give time
to import more manganese from
Africa and South America, and to
explore for new manganese sources
in this country. In fact, at this
moment American representatives
are surveying manganese fields al
ong the African gold coast
America has also kept its syn
thetic rubber plants in operation,
and has stockpiled 10 per cent of
the rubber needed for war This
will prevent another desperate rub
Der shortage, such as followed
Pearl Harbor
However, the U. S. A. is still
critically short of mica for electri-
cal equipment and abaca for Navy
ropes. Under stimulus from Con-
gress, however, the munitions board
has stepped up its stockpiling pro-
gram and is rushing to complete
its goals.
