BROTHERHOOD:
Renewed Effort

Brotherhood Week, sponsored by
the National Conference Of Chris
tians and Jews, will be observed
from February 1926, marking the
annual observance of an event that
has grown into national signifi-
cance.
In accepting the honorary chair
manship of Brotherhood Week,
President Truman urged "all Amer
leans to ponder well the true mean

HOUSING:
$1,000 Units

Could the American individual
in search of a new home afford
to pay $4,000 for it? Federal hous-
ing officials believe that to be a
fair figure and Raymond M. Foley,
housing administrator, explained
to the house banking committee a
bill for federal housing aid based
on that premise.
FOLEY STATED that the admin
istration is considering construc-
ton, through cooperatives and other
non-profit organizations, of some
$50, 900 housing units on ar aver
age cost of $4,000 each.
The homes envisioned in the pro-
gram would be for families with
annual cash incomes of 81. 300 and
81, 900. One third Of the urban fam
lilies of the nation had incomes
within that ''middle-income" range
in 1948.
The endeavor, even in the eyes
of the severest critics, appeared
laudable, but with the cost of liv-
ing as it is and high income taxes
for families without above-average
exemptions, would still put the
$1,000 home out of reach of many.
AS AN INSTANCE of that sup
position, Foley said average month
ly payments would be about 500.
That's 1923 a year. Add a 81. 1000
food, meat and milk bill, and the
total outlay for the new home own
er is ST, 1928. This would leave the
1890 a year man 1912. Taking av-
erage figures, utilities. health costs,
insurance, clothing, transportation
(there would be nothing with which
to pay for a carl recreation and in
cidentals would amount to about
$516. This would leave some $500,
or less than $40 a month with which
to meet emergencies or other
needs.
So, it is easily apparent that the
So, 1000 house, the 500 monthly pay
ment and CO t-of-living items
would run the ST. 00-a-year man
so close to the edge, that he'd
hardly have anything left for a
pack of butts each week.

H-BOMBS:
fine of Decision

One of the most important deci
sions in world history had been put
up to Harry S. Truman. Should ne
order construction of the hydro
gen bomb?
When, after a respectable period
of elaboration, he did make up his
mind, the President expressed his
decision in the most matter-of-fact
manner possiblel
The u. S. would continue its de-
velopment and production OF all
types of military weapons, includ-
ing atomic ornaments and the So
called hydrogen bomb. That state
ment, probably Intentionally cryp-
tic, may or may not have meant
that the U. S. already has begun
work on the H-bomb.
Only one thing was sure-it was a
terribly important decision, not only
to Mr.. Truman but to every person
in the world.
1T WASN'T the cost Of the bomb
that was a poser. even though that
was expected to be in the neighbor-
hood of four billion dollars. 1t
wasn't a doubt as to whether 1t
could be made, for science de-
clared it could. 1t wasn't a hest
fancy about its effect, for If an
enemy decided to, and could, con-
struct the bomb, any experiments
on the part of the us. to make
and test it would be justified.
No, it was none of these that
aggravated the responsibility and
the solemnity of the decision. In
stead, it was the question of life
and death involved and even more
terrible, if purely speculative,
question; Might not man be I'M
leashing a force which would de-
stroy all mankind?
THE PREPONDERANCE of per-
suasion was by those advocating
the bomb. Sen. Willard Tydings
3D., Md chairman of the armed
services committee gave voice to
what the majority of presidential
advisers was thinking.
He urged that the us. proceed
with manufacture of the bomb, de-
claring that failure to do so could
invite attack. But President Tru-
man was probably thinking of the
horrible and utter devastation, the
incalculable deaths, the vast de-
struction which would be hurled
upon enemy and innocent alike.

ing Of brotherhood" adding that
there probably has never been a
time in history when true brother
hood was so indispensable to the
welfare of our own nation and to
the peace and freedom Of the en-
tire world"
IN A SIMILAR VEIN, former
Secretary of the Navy John L..
Sullivan, named general chairman
Of the national observance, inter-
preted this years event. 1.-THE big
question today is whether the hui
man spirit will remain free or
whether it is to be enslaved by
totalitarianism," Sullivan declared.
THE dignity Of man is on trial
throughout the world" he con-
tinued, land the fate of our civil
cation may we'll depend upon the
outcome. 1t will survive only if the
ideal of mans ~inalienable rights is
acknowledged, respected and
strengthened"
First established in 1884 by the
National Conference Of Christians
and Jews, Brotherhood Week has
been celebrated each year during
the week of George Washington's
birthday as a special period when
the people of all faiths in the
United States are invited to con-
slider together the need and impli-
cations of good will among Protes-
tants, Catholics and Jews.
IN 1884, some 300 communities
across the United States partici-
pated in Brotherhood Week events;
In 1912 there were 300 communities.
In 1914 the number spiralled to
1000. The figure today is impos-
sible to estimate, according to Sui
livan, so widespread is the desire
of Americans of all faiths to DEM
onstrate their loyalty to the basic
ideals Of respect for people and
human rights which are essential
to u way of life.
AS observed with growing COM
munity participation each year,
Brotherhood Week dramatizes the
practical things which people can
do to promote understanding and
realization of time-honored Amer
lean principles.

1915. The degree was conferred
on him at the institutions COM

The citation, which dealt
mainly with Mr.. Adams's schol-

contained, too, a few lines about
his interest in gastrOnomy,
mycophagy (Which means the
eating of fungi or mushrooms)
and limericokology. (This last
word has not yet attained recog-
milton by the dictionaries. It
means an extensive acquaint-

Mr.. Logan said the small-mouth
bass, which do better in cold
water, were placed in the lakes
because the water there is colder
than in the creeks.

The Tydings Committee, invest igating espionage and Communism in the State Department, gave Owen Lattimore two and half hours, with television and kleig lights, to deliver a lecture. If that is the way to conduct an in vestigation, without questioning and interrogation, it is both novel and useless.
 From it three things come clear
 1. MT. Lattimore asserts that he is not. was not, hopes never to be, Communist.
 3. That he dislikes Chiang-Ksi- Shek' and that he believes il a Third Force, which means that he is for messing up the China situ- ation because the so-called Third Force is ridiculous and generally raves the way for a Communist victory
 8. That he believes that any American who differs from his views on China is part of Ma tionalist lobby, citing Alfred Kohl berg as an example. He chosc badly, for Alfred Kohlberg is a

MO0SE TEAM TO PREP FOR BASEBALL SEASON

 The Moses Ball club, which took second place in the Juneau Baseball League last season, fig ures good on the preseason dope sheets with practically the same team that went into the play offs last year returning for this seasons play.
 Gene Shepherd, acting team manager, said several new players promise to add points to the tean's batting and fielding av- erages. A meeting of players was held at the Moose Club last night.
 Meanwhile the Coast Guard cut ter Storis and Coast Guard head quarters are planning team for the 1850 season.
 Men from both units have taken the playing field several times al- ready in unofficial practices, and John Erbland, who has been chos- en team manager, said a goou team should be ready for the first game.

DENTAL CHE(K-Up
 BEING CONDUCTED
 IN LOCAL SCHOOLS

Dental examinations of all school children of the Juneau-Douglas area are being made at present by Juneau Dental Society members.
 Following examination of Juneau grade school students, Society members said they had agreeably noted that the general oral con- dition of the children was much better than anticipated Exam ination of the grade school young sters has started and it is planned to examine the high school, kin dergarten, and St. Ann's students on Thursday, April 20. Douglas school examinations will be made during the first week in May.
 Cards netting the general oral condition of each pupil will be mailed to parents.
 It is the opinion of the Juneau Dental Society that much good can be brought to the students through this activity which will be repeated this fall and annually thereafter, in conjunction with the school nurse and medical society.
 The Juneau Dental Society, con- sisting of all the members of the profession in Juneau, was formed last summer and in October be- came a component of the Ameri- can Dental Association through its utilization with the Territorial Den tai Association, which is composed of all dentists practicing in the Territory.
 It is hoped that in the near future it will be possible to pre- sent to those interested, education al films which have proven bene- ficial in other communities, in their various health programs.

MINIATURE GOLD
 WAR MAY RESULT ,,.o IN LOSS OF. J0BS

The miniature cold war over the anti-Conmunist oath at the Uni- versity of California has taken a serious turn. Former University Re- gent James R. Moffitt speculates that University President Gordon Sproul may find it impossible to stay on in his job if the deadlock continues. Sproul and Governor Earl Warren are among regents who oppose the oath on ground that it discriminates and that the cus- tomary loyalty oath taken by state officials would suffice.
 However, the Board of Regents has refused to rescind it's order that all university employees sign the special oath by April 30 or forfeit their jobs.

self sacrificing patriot of the high est order.
 Whereupon Senator Tydlngs said that the FBI gave Owen Lattimore clean bill of health.
 That statement was untrue. Neither the FBI nor any other police organization ever gave or will give any man clean bill of health. All that they will say is that at a given moment man is either not under investigation or that the investigation, as of that moment, has not produced suffi- cient data or the kind of data that will stand up in court for conviction.
 If Senator Tydings could get J. Edgar Hoover to say more than that on witness stand, under oath, publicly, why Gid he not do t? I'm not limiting this refer ance to Owen Lattimore. The same holds true about you or me. Let me put it another way: If YOU or I or Lattimore or Alger Hiss or the murderer of Binaggio were subject to arrest, with the evidence adequate to stand up in a court of law, J. Edgar Hoover would do the arresting because he S a policeman who does his duty. If he failed to make an arrest, t would mean that in his judg- nent the evidence will not stand up. It does not mean that he Is not seeking evidence or that he does not believe that the person $ guilty.
 Owen Lattimore may be as guilt less as a newborn incubator baby, put I am sure that the FBI' issued 10 certificate to that effect.
 In fact, it would be exciting c put MT. Hoover and three or four 1f his experts on the witness stand, under oath, in the matter of Am rasia" magazine and ask specific questions about markings and fin yerprints on documents. senator Tydings is a babe-in- -the-woods In his business because all his mind ;eems to envisage is the 1850 elec- ion, but how did it happen that this magazine had such a stock of lecret files?
 Also, it is a funny business to. accept MT Lattimore's explanation why John s. Service and Andrew Roth were at his hamburger pie lic just about the same time that he "Amerasia" Case broke. He says he was having look at book Andrew Roth wrote on Japan.
 I do not have that book here because, as I recall it, l left 1t l1 he power-rcom Ca State Depart nent euphemismo up at my farm was reading it between times ast summer and found it worth ess. Was the hamburger fiesta .iven in honor of Roth's book?
 To get back to "Ameras!a, when Andrew Roth applied for an appointment to Naval Intelligence, l record was made in the New York office of Naavl Intelligence. Where is that report? It is also known that the Office Of Naval Intelligence in New York filed such a report with the Bureau of Naval Personnel. Also, a report was made when that relationship was terminated. Let's have look at them.
 In the "Amerasia" Case, Roth was important. What does that file say? I know who in the Navy, during this reriod, was responsible for handling such files. 1 can recommend who should be ques- toned, including one of the great est fighters against Communism in America.

BEEBEES IN DUCKS GIzzARDS MEAN MORE
 HUNTERS BLASTING

Much more hunting of water fowl in Alaska lakes place than was estimated, it is shown in sta tistics compiled by biologists of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Either that, cc hunters here are poor shots.
 Urban c. Nelson, leading biolo- gist for the service, said today that he has found that of AT mallard ducks shot over the Stikine Flats 12 had lead in their gizzards.
 The lead beebees didn't get there through the air, either-they came in by being swallowed from either off the ground or from the water Fowl in the states often show signs of having swallowed shot that has been fired shortly before at some other bird but fell harm- lessly to the ground, to be eaten under impression it was food
 Two or three of these pellets, when swallowed, will kill a duck Nelson said. Even one, when eaten with certain types of food will be lethal.
 The fowl were surveyed ln CO., operation with hunters on the flats last seeason, he said, tine gizzards being extracted by biolo- gists for study. Much of various birds habits may be learned in this way Nelson said
 And much can be learned about hunters, too-as shown by this find.

they are no more successful than reporters are, because spies are not fools enough to leave records, just as Communists, when the party is underground, as it now is, do not carry party cards to amuse Sen ator Tydings or MT. Seth Richard son.
 It is a painstaking procedure to build evidence, link by link, par ticularly when there is a strong desire to do no innocent person an injustice That is why guilt takes long to prove. Senator Tyding's methods establish neither guilt nor innocence. They only increase the doubts.
