Coy. Gruening said, When last year group of southern senators talked to me about their opposition to the Alaska statehood bill, not one of them gave this as their reason. They used the arguments invariably used in opposing the admission Of other states: D That Alaska is too far away; 9 That we do not have the natural resources necessary; and other arguments which are often found to be at odds with the factual information.
 Governor Talks
 Gov. Gruening says he asked for the floor after the Georgia gov- ernor had voted against the state hood resolution and pointed out that Gov. Talmadge had at various times heen extremely critical of federal encroachment.
 q sought to point out to him as citizen of a sovereign state that he had had far less experience with federal encroachment' than we in Alaska who live in territory. l was just getting wound up when the announcement came that Gov. Talmadge had withdrawn his objec- tion with the provision that the re- cord show that he had made it. Gov. James Byrnes, of South Carolina, joined this position"
 i Another resolution passed by the governors, Gov. Gruening said, would give each state, including 1 territories, the right to determine ! whether or not relief rolls should be made public. He said the situ- ation came as a consequence of 1 Indiana making these rolls public and getting their matching federal funds withdrawn. He said the reso- lution did not go into the merits or demerits of relief lists being made public, but that this was used as an example of federal encroachment on states rights.
 Congress has since overruled the federal agency in regard to Indiana. Gov. Gruening says this preslilll.s a & lbally aly clears the way for action by each state.
 Gov. Gruening also attended the meeting of the Board of Governors of the Arctic Institute of America, which organization, he says, is working towards closer cooperation between Canada and the United States in furthering arctic research in fields where Russia is known to have made great progress.

Snow and Mud Made Saturday Games Tough
By RIP WATSON

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-sRt-Hang- ing out Mondays football wash, anc you'd better hang it in the cellai if the weather is anything like Saturdays.
 It was a great day for televisior and the California and Florida Chambers of Commerce, but that's small consolation to midwestern and eastern fans trying to recoup from the battle with the elements They used bulldozers. to clear off six inches of snow at Ithaca, NY, but Cornell Coach Lefty James was ready to shovel it back on the field again after the Big Red blew one to Columbia, 21-20 what hurt the most was the fact that Colum- bia also edged Cornell, 20-l9 last year.
 The longest slide since the World Series was recorded at Franklin Field when Eddie Bell of Penn dived after Charlie Sumner as the Will liam and Mary speedster flashed to a touchdown on an 89-yard run ... Bell left his feet at the 10-yard line, landed in the goo and slid slowly across the line in Summers wake.
 Illinois and Southern California, who hope they'll meet in the Rose Bowl next Jan. l, must have thought they were in the florists deep freeze yesterday. The Illini battled two inches of snow, 29-degree weather, a 45-mile per hour wind and the Michigan football team and they won out, TO :. The TroJans, wishing they were back in Califor- mia. were just as uncomfortable in Yankee Stadium here, but the op- position was less formidable.
 Pat Cannamela, the Trojans great linebacker. probably set some sort of record when he travelled 5000 miles to appear before the nome" folks Pats home is in New London, Conn.

if such rationing becomes neces-
sary, a new agency will be set up.
In short, DPA sets the whole pro-
gram for producing defense items.
The following agencies, all
linked in with those just given,
are new, but are part of old
time agencies:
NPA National Production
Authority Manly Fleischmann,
acting boss until permanent one
is chosen. NPA is part of the
Commerce Department. 1t carries
out DPA's orders, such as alloca-
tions and priorities.
DTA defense Transport Ad-
ministration) - James Knudson
director. He is a member of the
11-man Interstate Commerce
Commission UCC), whose regular
peacetime job is supervising trans
portation in this country. At the
moment DTA is set up within the
ICC. The job of DTA is to see
that trains and buses get the ma
teriaIs to keep running-like steel
for more trains and buses. In
time of greater emergency, it could
slap controls on them.
Five Agencies Under Interior.

ncreated several years ago to study
the Nations defense needs anc
make plans to meet them.
But NSRB and Mr.. Symingtor
have been showed into the back
ground since Mr.. Wilson and his
ODM took over. NSRB's reason
for living becomes more vague
daily. Mr. Symington is now a
sort of trouble-shooter for the
President among the various de-
fense agencies.
NIB Munitions Board)-Johr

four other members. 1t decides
what strategic materials, like rub
ber, the Government needs and

But Fps, mentioned above, does

a civilian must put down on a

HHFA controls down payments
when Government loans or guar
antees are involved, like a GI

ministration tFCDA), set up to
prepare this country against an

It is not yet five months since
September l, when Congress
passed the Defense Production Act.
Already 10 Government agen-
cies have been set up to carry out
the terms of that law which gave
the Government power to control
the American economy in many
ways while building defenses. They
have brought new alphabet into
the Government. Here are the
new 10:
ODM-(Office of Defense Mo-
bilization)-Charles E. Wilson,
former president of the General
Electric Corporation, is director.
ODM is boss of the whole defense
show. It's job is to make all the
parts run together. Since Mr..
Wilson is boss of ODM, he's boss
of the whole defense program at
home.
DMB Gives Advice.
DMB - defense Mobilization
Board board, made up of
some of the top men in Govern
ment, doesn't run anything. Its
job is to advise Mr.. Wilson on the
whole program. He is chairman.
Other members of the board are
the Secretaries of the Treasury
(Snyder), Defense (MarshalD i,
Commerce (Sawyer), Interior
(Chapman), Agriculture Bran
nam, Labor (Tobin) and the
chairman of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. CIV. E. Harber);
chairman of the National Security
Resources Board (Symington) ;,
and the chairman of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
system (McCabe).
ESA Economic Sterilization
Agency)-Alan Valentine, an edu-
Gator and former college presi-
dent, is director. This is the top
agency over prices and wages. 1t
has two branches. which follow:
OPS (Office of Price Stabiliza-
tion)-Michael v. Di Sale, for
mer mayor of Toledo, Ohio, direc-
tor. Mr.. Di Sale is supposed to
be price boss-that is, decide when
price ceilings are necessary and
run price control. But since his
OPS is part of Mr.. Valentines
ESA, Mr.. Valentine is Mr.. Di
Sales bcSs-so far.
Ching Over Wages.
WSB (Wage ST biliZa tion
BoarO-Cyrus S. Ching, chair
man, for many years was busi-
ness man and more recently head
of the Governments service for
settling labor disputes peacefully.
The boards job is to watch wages
and control them, if necessary.
Mr.. Ching has nine men on the
board with him: Three represent
ing labor, three from business
and three representing the public. !
Mr.. Ching's WSB is under Mr. |
Valentine, too, but whether Mr..
Valentine can block decisions made
by Mr.. Ching's board remains to
be seen.
DPA defense Production Ad-
ministration) H. Harri-
son, director, is former president
of the International Telephone g.

ministration), and DINA defense
Minerals Administrator.
The following three are in the
Agriculture Department: ORA
coffee of Requirements and Allo-
cations), OMF (Office of Materials
and Facilities), and FDB Good
Distribution Branch). They're
supposed to see that farmers get
the materials, machines and fer
tilizers they need.
ODM (Office of Defense Man
power) This is part of the Labor
Department. It's job is to study
the Nations manpower needs and
help get workers for defense
plants.
DSCR division of Selective
Credit Regulations)-ThiS is part
of the Federal Reserve System.
1t handles Government controls
on installment buying and the
usual real estate down payments.
EPS Emergency Procurement
Service)-This is part of the Gen.
eral Services Administration. the
permanent agency that does the
buying for Government depart
ments. But Fps particularly does
the buying of strategic materials
for the Government, like rubber.
Other Agencies Tied In.
So much for the agencies which
have come into existence since
September l. There are others
tied in with the defense program
in one way or another.
