The
 C4adGe RoeGs4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

Seward, the Convention City, the Gateway City, and the Friendly City, welcomes the American Legion, Department of Alaska, as it's guests this holi- day weekend.
 That there is an Alaska De- partment, separate unit, work ing as independently as any other State department, is sig nificant It is another indication that every organization in the United States except Congress has recognized the indisputable fact that Alaskans are capable of governing themselves.
 In this convening of Alaskans in Alaska the welfare of it's own people will be uppermost in the minds of the delegates. All topics will be under discussion from the civilian defense program to the rehabilitation of our veter- ans and the increased develop ment of our Territory.
 Toward that end we must abandon our attitude of Wishful thinking, of endeavoring to work upon the sympathies of our friends and fellow citizens in the Continental US. Rather, let us concentrate our efforts upon the betterment of individual communities. Make them so de- Sirable for home and family life that it will not be necessary to sell Alaska to the American peo- pie. We know what we have and the great potentialities for the future. By borrowing a leaf from the history of our forefathers, Alaska can become the Mecca that the rest of America has be- come for the world
 But it is up to Alaskans to do the building. Ii Alaska is to be defended, we must do our share by supporting the military de- fense. If we are to be left at peace to till the fields, build our homes, mine the mountains and waters, then let Alaskans do it without so much whining for aid from the Outside. The old sourdOugh was no softly; if the modern sourdough seeks to fol- low in the footsteps of the pio- neers, then he canrct go soft either.

Packard order is the first Of

will be issued in the near future.
OPS said the new auto prices
reflect increases in the factory

Packard on October %.
officials emphasized the forth
coming bakery order will not mean
a general price rise on bread.
They said the order will provide
that any baker who did not raise
his prices before the general freeze

caught with his prices lower than
the prevailing levels. would now
be able to raise them. It Is ex-
pected to apply to about $4,000

Missed Signal Hinted
Cause Of New York
Train Crash in Tunnel
BY the Assoeieted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. % (P.-The
manager of Grand Central Ter
minal today expressed belief that
the underground crash of two
Thanksgiving Day trains was
caused by one of them violating
a red stop signal.
Prior to an official Investigation
hearing slated to open this after
noon. Ernest B. Moorhouse said
I'VE think" that a New Haven ex-
press ran a red signal just before
it crashed into a Stamford local.
Twenty-seven passengers were
injured when the two trains
slammed together in a narrow
tunnel beneath Park Avenue at a
point where upper and lower-level
tracks merged parallel on the
same level.
Thrown Against Walls.
Although both of the eieht-car
New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad trains were moving
north at only 10 miles an hour.
the impact threw some coaches
against opposite tunnel walls.
Mr.. Moorhouse said that a vel
low light just before the merging
point meant to proceed with eau
tion, while a red light meant to
stop. and that the signals were
interlockingly controlled from a
tower.
He said the Stamford local ap-
. parently had a yellow light and
the New Haven train a red one,

were scheduled as witnesses at the
investigation.
Sergeant Averts Panic,
Near-panic in one wrecked
coach was averted by Air Force
Sergt. Russell E. Harper of Chi
cago who suffered a knee in
jury. Sergt. Harper said:
Il saw glass flying around and
I got up and slapped some people
when they looked like they we're
about to get out of hand.
Women were screaming and a
man and wife were trapped under
their seat. I smelled fumes and
had some girls break some win
dows."
The crash occurred at Fifty
sixth street and Park avenue.
That part of the tunnel holds four
sets of rails and is a converging
point for 80 sets of upper and
lower level tracks originating in
Grand Central Terminal.
After the wreck the third rail
current was turned off quickly.

Pre-Ho|iday Bus Strike
Is Threat in New York
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Buses
Of the city's biggest transit COM
pany were running again today
after a Thanksgiving Day strike
but the threat Of a massive pre-
Christmas walkout on nine bus
systems remained.
Third Avenue Transit System
buses started rolling out of ga
RACES shortly before midnight.
However. all Of the city's nine
private bus companies, carrying
80 million riders a day, are
threatened with a CIO Transport
Workers Union strike-possibly
on December 4.
The unions contracts with the
companies contain a no-strike
clause.
Yesterdays tieup, which started
as wildcat strike but later was
sanctioned by Michael j. Quill,
TWU president. and other union
leaders. affected about 100000
riders. This is half the normal
weekday load.
The company said the walkout
started over the drivers demand
that they receive the same pay on
Thanksgiving that they would re-
ceive for an ordinary week day,
when they work longer hours and
get overtime pay.
The nine-company strike threat
stems from the unions demand
for a 40-hour week and a pay in
crease of unspecified amount for
5000 drivers and maintenance
men. The men now have basic
work weeks of A or 48 hours,
with most OF them putting ir
two hours of overtime daily at

Great statesmen aren't the only
ones who have left their name in
the Nations Capitol.
So have the name scratchers.
Name scratchers are those peo-
pie who can't resist the tempta-
ton to carve or write their names
or initials in public places.
Mostly these names and initials
don't last too long-they get
rubbed out or painted over-but
there are some that have been
around the Capitol almost long
enough to become historic. Some
Of them for 80 years.
These historic old works OF

opulent enough to own diamonds.
They are names. initials and
dates scratched-by means of
diamonds-into a couple of WIN
dows beside the winding stairway
which leads to the lofty Capitol
dome.
Some Date to 1861.
The windows are pretty we'll
scratched up by now but many of
the names and initials can be
read plainly.
The most ancient works on the
window are the carvings of "CVB"
and "ALG" who apparently were
together. At least they did their
work in June of 1861. CBV
carved his initials on June 8,
1861; ALG merely noted June,

CVB and ALG must have been
among the earliest visitors to the
dome. since records dug up by
Capitol Architect David Lynn
show that the structure wasn't
completed until December, 1853.

doubt that CVB and ALG were
