PRCE CONTROLS
 IMPORTANT 10
 hLkSKA ECONOMY

Tn speaking of the app cation ol the General Ceiling Price Rsgula- ton of January 2, r. G. H2nfcri, Acting Regional Director of the kSA for Alaska observes that one of the several and very vital reasons why Price Stabilization is SO particularly applicable to the economy of Alaska is that rapidly rising prices strike hardest at those living on Terri torial pensions and others whose in comes are relatively fixed by re- tirement pay or annuitites.
 h viewing the economy of Alaska, Ianford said: While the impact of imitation on this group is most ob- vious and immediate a continued and uncontrolled price increase pre- sents a broader threat to every American citizen of every walk cf lIe. It inpairs the function of our naticnal and Territorial economy; t o,ssroys the value of savings maKes it impossible to plan ahead for yourself CT children and create, tension and panic.
 The results to Q nation who fail. to check imitation eventually eals in social and economic chaos. Tc avoid this the Economic 5tabiliza- | on Agency is bending every ef- fort and seeking every road to 6 pattern of sane living with only the enforcement of those controls nee ezsary to stabilize and maintain the American standaid of living.
 Tn concluding Hanford said t is 'yery gratifying to have the gen eral public respond in such a CO., operative and friendly manner. Il is evident that the present emerg- ency is well recognized by tic ma jority of Alaskans."

sue from reaching decisive vote
His problem will be concerned
with the Northern wing of the
party demanding action on such
matters as necessary prelude to
whatever chances the Democratic
Party has of winning in the 1852
presidential election.
1t was the vote of the South
erners and the conservative wing
of the Senate Democrats that cat
apulted Senator Mcfarland into
the leadership. The cynical have
pointed out that Senator McFar-
land had the support of the
Southern Democrats for his pet
project-the Central Arizona irri-
cation program.
However, Senator McFarland's S
background long before he entered
politics gave him a close kinship
with the South. His grandfather
EWell Smith, fought on the side
of the Confederacy and, owing to
his beliefs, found it expedient to
move from Athens, in strongly
unionist East Tennessee, to the
pleasant surroundings around
Winchester in Middle Tennessee.
His parents. w. T. and Keziah
Mcfarland, were early settlers in
the Pottawatomie strip in Okla
homa. The Senator was born near
EarleSboro. Okla, October 9, 1894.
and attended Earlsboro and Semi
mole high schools.
