WASHINGTON-Politics runs in cycles. And the politicaf cycle a quarter of century ago has some interesting comparisons with that today. In fact, it's almost similar
 A quarter of a century ago, in the election of 1926, Calvin Cool idge, supposedly supreme in the White House, almost lost control of Congress. He retained the Senate by exactly the same majority as Harry Truman today-one vote The House he kept by a margin of 42. Today Truman's margin there is 34.
 Some interesting figures popped up in that surprise election oi 1926. A young man from Maryland named Willard Tydings, son Of a Susquehanna River boatman and hitherto unknown, was elected tc the Senate. A quarter of a century later, Tydings, in another surprise tltCUlOil, DOWCo AAAS aiAo%A '~ defeated him, John Marshall But Ter, was equally unknown.
 Another interesting figure swept into the Senate in that 1926 sur prise election was a relative new conner from Kentucky named All ben Barkley. He defeated Republi- can Senator Richard P. Ernst chairman of the privileges and el' ections committee and considered sure bet to win.
 Another upstart Democrat who surprised the Senate in 1926 was Robert Wagner of New York, g Cserman-Lorn boy who rose tc sponsor our most important socia legislation. Wagner defeated

WAKEFIELD TELLS CHAMBER DUTIES,
 TERR. FI5HERIEi

l There are some who believe that i the Territorial Department of Fish cries is duplicating the work car ried on by the Federal Fish anc Wildlife Service in Alaska, but that 1 is not true" Howard Wakefield de. clared today. He spoke at reg ular Juneau Chamber of Commerce
 luncheon meeting at the Barano. Hotel
 He pointed out that the curtail
 ment of Federal funds for FWS
 is hampering it's work and that if
 and when Alaska becomes state 1 it will be necessary to have work ing organization to take over the work now being handled by the Federal government Since the Territory derives 60 per cent of its i. income from taxes on fishing acti- vities, it is important that the fisheries be protected, and perpet-
 uated for future generations, he said.
 {; Citing a few specific instances of Federal fund cutting, Wakefield 1; said that at one time there were 250 stream guards to see that sal
 mon got up the rivers to spawn but that number had been drastic ally cut. Last season the Territory provided IT stream watchmen to cooperate in this important phase and hoped to furnish % next year. He also declared that the Cook Inlet area was being overfished ano something would have to be done soon to save the red and king salmon runs there.
 Despite thoughts to the con trary, the Alaska Fisheries Boare is trying to do the best job possibl and not show any favoritism fol any particular type of gear Or dis trict," he concluded.
 Dick Peter of KINY played 8 recording of Truth or Conse. quences Hollywood radio show which featured Paul Harvey whc recently was given trip to Juneau to pan some gold for an engage ment ring for his fiance Follow ing his report on the Juneau trip, he was told to go to Africa where he would have to mine a diamond
 to complete the ring. Arrange
 ments were thoughtfully made with Stewart Granger. movie star, to
 take Harvey's fiance to dinner
 while he was mining the diamond. Guests included members of the
 fisheries board: J. P. Valentine, Ketchikan; Ira Rothwell, Cordova;
 William Walton, Sitka and Karl
 Brunstad, Kodiak. Other visitors
 were Bishop William J. Gordon Episcopal Church, Fairbanks; D.
 M. Kantola, Moore Business Forms, Anchorage; Ray Mcfarland, Libby, McNeil and Libby, Seattle.
 Martin Anderson, of the Ander- son Construction Company which is building the Mendenhall Apart ments here, was introduced as a new member.

FROM ANCHORAGE c. L. Mccoy. Anchorage. is regis tered at the Baranof Hotel,
, 1950-02-20

This morning while passing
the open market, l suddenly
realized how fortunate we are.
From January to January
fruits and vegetables of some
type are in season, and not
only in season but in the sun
shine.
It IS never so cold that some
vegetation for table use is not
growing. We are not molested
with smoke and fog which pre-
vent the sun rays from COM
ing through, Nor are we handi-
capped with the limited sun
shine of Northern winters.
In tropical climate, the sun
rays are more direct, and with
fewer clothing required, are
more effective in their health
giving properties Til e inten-
slty Of the ultraviolet light as
a source Of yitamin p for hot
ter bone building is greater.
Why should we feel SO APP
preciative Of our choice loca-
ton to the sum- AS infants
learn to walk and get about in
the sunshine, many minor eff
fects from a vitamin d short
age disappear. There are vast
numbers of children in the
tropics who receive little if.
any vitamin D in animal food
stuff, yet becomes adults with
out ever showing any sign of
ricketts,. And SO it is our good
fortune that a deficiency dis
ease is cured by nature, Thus,
il for no other reason that the
protection Of her children, the
Virgin Islands occupies an en-
vious place in the sun.

My dear Mr.. de Castro:
It is with considerable pleasure
that / am ably to inform you that
this st. Valentines Day, February
18th 1850, marks the first full
years operation of the Virgin Is

of free, public information, has
handled over 5000 inquiries that
have come in from almost every

are most gratifying. To oufNknow-
lea9a several hundred tourist. di-
vorcees and prospective inves-
tors have visited the islands as a
result of contact with this office.
A number Of permanent residents
have been added to the islands
whose incomes contribute to the
employment & economic improve
ment of the islands. Some new
service businesses have been add
ed that will contribute to the
needs of the growing resort and
our files reflect many more in
vestors who are planning substan-
tial contributions to the housing
farming and manufacturing faci-
lities of the islands.
The impact of the public inter
est, as we first feel it here, is
most illuminating and enables me
to predict a very promising future
for the Virgin Islands if a balance
of cooperation can be attained be-
tween Stateside investment CAPT.
tai and the lawmakers and pro-
performers of the islands.
To our positive knowledge sew
eral development projects which
have been in planning process for
many months are still impeded by
initial land prices; clear titles diff
ficulties and the lack Of construc-
ton facilities which permits accu-
rate building cost estimates.
The Wis. is constantly used
as a quick reference source by
newspapers; press services; maya
zines and travel agents. Far and
beyond straight tourist inquiries,
we are daily called upon to answer
questions that will be helpful to
exporters; importers; manufactur-
ers seeking outlets; banks seek
ing tax data for their clients; in
dividuals with all sorts Of know
how who are viewing the islands
from a possible business point;
doctors, dentists and nurses who.
query the needs of the islands for
such PROFESSIONAL talents; people
seeking to retire in a healthfuI eli
mate, etc.
The Press of the Virgin Islands
has been most cooperative during
the past year. This has resulted
in a close and very much enjoyed
contact with many native born
residents Of the islands whose con
fidence we are proud to enjoy.
The knowledge gained from this
past years contact with the public
which approaches us long before
visiting the Virgin Islands, has de-
veloped many invaluable clues to.
the successful development of the
resort.
