Cigarettes Only
 Raised One Cent

Dealers who raise the price of cigarettes more than one cent a package under the new excise tax law are in violation of Office of Price Stabilization regulations, &C., cording to the OPS enforcement di- rector.
 The new excise tax added another penny to the retail price of cig- arettes. Commenting on the tax, he said:
 Tt has been brought to my at tention that certain dealers have raised the price of cigarettes more than one cent. If they have, they are in violation of OPS regulations and subject to penalties"
 He added that if the regulation with respect to the cigarette tax. or any other OPS regulation is not clear to a business man, he should contact the Office of Price Stabili- zation immediately.
 It is, and will be the policy of the enforcement office to bring appro- priate legal action against all viola tors of price regulations, he said.

LEST WE FORGET

The celebration of Armistice Day took on added significance to Juneau residents the Memorial Library formally dedicated and opened for public use.
 What filter memorial to Juneau's heroes alive and dead-than this fine building devoted, as are libraries, to the enrichment of the human mind the pursuits of peace? How nobler than any brave sculpture graven tablet is this living, working tribute to those who sacrificed much for all of us?
 Although thirty-three years have passed since the ending of the war to end wars and there have been two major conflicts since Armstice Day still represents nations gratitude to her warriors and bespeaks abiding faith in the survival of democracy and the future of great nation
 The years that followed the cessation of World War I hostites brought not peace, but sadness ana misery to the war-weary peoples of the world The very treaties arising from that feetng peace were laden with the seed of new hatred sand widespread

national distrust The false peace bore it's bitter fruit the fall of 1889 when the worlds young men again marched off to kill and destroy.
 Six years of unparalleled bloodshed and destruc- ton finally came to a nominal end with the close of World War II, but there to be peace. Wher- ever men of good will sought to resolve their dif ferences amicably their peaceful efforts put to naught by the men Of the Kremlin All efforts of the United Nations assembly to forge lasting peace were sabotaged by the Soviet delegate and died ing.
 In the summer of 1850. Korea was plunged into a Red provoked war which still rages In year and half Of senseless bloodletting, more than lo0.C02 Ameican casualties have been reported and the end is not in sight.
 The shadow of the Kromlin hangs like pail over the free peoples of the world. There will be no peace in our time until the threat of Russian aggression is stopped. And stopped it must be, whether by force Of reason or by force of arms.
 Let us then. regard our new Memorial Library in a light. Let appreciate that it represents more than a repository of books. Let us. rather see it for what it is reminder of wars that have been fought tribute to those who fought and perished and monument of sfaith and hope in the peace that is yet to be won.
 And. in the years to come, let Us observe Armistce Day not only as the anniversary of one wars end but as 8 day symbolic of a future without war.

Expanding Airways
lseattle Post-Tntelligencerl

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
 In these days of rising costs it comes as pleasant shock to hear of lower prices being made available for anything.
 But it isn't merely because .it reverses the eco homie trend that Pan American World Airways' re- cent announcement that it will inaugurate tourist class transoceanic service next year at approximately two-thrds of the present fare is significant
 What is important is the fact that this move will improve the standard of living for millions of Americans in the middle-income brackets.
 Most such Americans get an annual vacation of only two three weeks. Hence they do not have time for travel by ship-and they cannot afford air line first-cass fares.
 By instituting a tourist class service in the same kind of planes now in use but without frills- the air lines will bring foreign travel and its broad ening influence within their means.
 This will make not only for a better way of life for huge segment of the population but also for a better understanding between the United States and the other countries of the world

put it in the aluminium business in Montana But when Harvey's wartime record in producing navy shells was questioned, the loan was held up. .
 It was right and proper that Harvey's record should have been serutinized, though for unexplail- ed reasons Secretary of the Navy Kimball has flatly refused to give the Navy's files on this case either to his own colleague, the Secretary of the Interior, or to the House investigating committee However. this columnist, who has seen the filed, can report that Harvey's re- cord was saintlike compared to Ana conda'S.
 An3conda was convicted at Fort WayI.e, Ind, on June 12, l941 for defrauding tne government ill con- nection with the sale of defective wire, was fined S3l,0 ,000, and three of
 
 its men were given suspended pri- son sentences.
 Again in Pawtucket. R. l., Ana conda was convicted Jan. 12, 1944 on a war-frauds charge, with four of it's people given 18 months to one year in jail and fifth placed on parole for two years.
 Remarked the judge: "The com- pany perpetrated these frauds with the intent to increase their profits without regard to the lives of Am erican boys"
 On top of the criminal convic- tions, the government brought civil suit after the war and collected Sl,- 626,000 from Anaconda. Yet this is the company which will now be fav ored with cheap government power, a tax-amortization deal whereby the investment is written off in four years, and a contract whereby the government buys virtually all its aluminium.

MONOPOLY IGNORED

Other phases of the Anaconda al- minimum deal are also interesting. When little businessman Harvey rang government doorbells and sat in government ante-rooms trying to get support for his aluminium plan. he was advised why don't you get a wealthy partner?"
 Meanwhile Anaconda made var ious overtures to him. proposed a lop-sided partnership. Harvey resist ed. Finally the government served notice that the priorities he had received on materials, together with his power contract at Hungry Horse, would be taken away. Throwing in the sponge, he agreed to become Anaconda's junior partner. This means Harvey will be swallowed up by Anaconda like a boy eating an ice-cream cone.
 Interesting Fact No. 2-The man who made the final decision for Anaconda was Manley FleiSchmann, and other Defense Production of ficials did not bother to consult the Justice Department either in re- gard to Anaconda's criminal re- cord or its monopoly position until after they had reached decision.
 The past record of an individual seeking a government job is some times scrutinized by the FBI for months. But not the slightest check was made of Anaconda's war record until Fleischmann was called by a newsman By that time the decision
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-11-12

to give Anaconda the contract was already made. A brief session was then held with the Justice Depart ment to go through the more for nal routine of checking.
 Remarked a friend of Jess Lar sen, the efficient but frequently dis couraged General Services Adminis- trator: it looks like the only com- panies that get big war contracts are those which have committed crimes against the government"
 "No," replied Larsen wearily, its the ones who commit the crimes who have hundred million dollars.

WASHINGTON PIPELINE

Senator Taft has givoD the cold shoulder to his old campaign man. ager, Congressman Clarence Brown of Ohio. Clarence was too slow about rounding up delegates. Wash- ington and Baltimore neWsstandS were flooded two weeks ago with an obscene scandal sheet, Flash, print ed in Toronto, Canada. It was so obscene that the first edition was stripped off the newsstands and the second edition was barred at the Canadian border After his return from Korea, Gen. Omar Bradley thoughtfully took time out from his heavy duties as our top military leader to write personal letters to the parents of CTS he decorated in Korea. assuring them that their sons were all right and doing a great job. Navy Secretary Kim ball has assigned top priority to the construction of new Navy mine sweepers. They're urgently needed in the waters around Korea to sweep away increasing numbers of thew Russian mines which are twide as effective as any the Nazis ever used. The government seems to have an answer to everything, even that baffling problem that comes up in every family-how to stop baby from sucking his thumb. Infant Care" :" the governments best-selling baby book, says it's okay for junior to suck his thumb, even beneficial in some cases-if mom is too busy washing diapers to amuse him.

Asks Probe
 Of Red China Money Ratkel

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12-tH- Sen. William F. Knowland R- Calif), says he hes asked the State Department to investigate reports of Red China shakedown racket rumored to have eXtorted millions of dollars from Chinese Americans.
 Xnowland said he would seek to have cases brought before the United Nations as a menace to intern3- tional morality and human riEhts."
 Lee Dai-Ming, editor of the .San Francisco Daily Chinese Wo, Id. said many Chinese se-Amerie;ans had sent sums ranging from S250 to as high as $100,000 to pay taxes, fines or rent" levied on relatives in Red China.
 "No direct demand for blcoo money is made" Ice said, but word is sent out through relatives or intermediates, usually in the BrltlSh colony or Hong Kong. Then the Communists wait for the money to come in.
 When it comes they ask foi more. If it doesn't come, they apply torture and, eventually death"
 He did not identify any of the reported victims. He said they pre- ferred anonymity for the safety oi relatives in China.
 Lee asked Chinese receiving sucl requests to register. Senator Know land said when the case was docu- mented he would ask for LIN. ac- tion.
