Hare Grained Pressure Memorial
(Ketchikan News)

Of all the hare-brained pressure schemes yet oe- vsed by holding the dignity of Legislative offices the one by Democratic legislators from the Third
 Division certainly takes the booby prize They fathered a memorial declaring the independence from the United States and to form Republic of Alaska unless statehood was granted Alaska. Yet gods and little fishes-such unpatriotc and reasonable utter ances alone show how little able we are to cope with the duties of statehood if such should have say in legislative subjects.
 The memorial is to be sent to Trygve Lie secretary of the LIN. besides President Truman and the U s. Josef stalin, indicating how lightly we assume na- tonal ties and that Alaska may fall an easy prey to the Soviet's ambitions for world conquest. We are at an utter loss of words in condemning such actions.
 The dispatch says that authors of the memorial are the seven Third Division representatives, all Demo- crats" The seven Democrats from the Third Division are c. Chester Carlson Jack D. Conright Wm A. Egan Stanley J. McCutcheon of Palmer Airport fame Wendell P Kay and Jack F. Scavenius.
 There is a splendid opportunity for the other legislators both Republican and Democrat, who believe in orderly and progressive government to pass mem orial condenning such tactics. We shall be very much interested in the individual vote of this Democratic memorial when it comes to vote.
 We have fought for years against hare-brained legislation which makes it difficult to live in Alaska We are prepared to fight tooth and nail against any such insane attempt deprive of our U S. citizenship live in Alaska The signers of that Memorial should be recalled from office for they are certainly vocing the opinion of the people of Alaska whom they are supposed to represent.

Taft Vs. Ike

It is now exactly IT months before the two great American political parties hold their conventions and select the two candidates who will battle it out to become President of the United States. But even IT months in advance, the backstage wires are being pulled and the groundwork laid for that battle.
 tn the Republican camp two men Q 9 definitely emerging on the Pre- sidential horizon. Taft and Fsen- newer.
 This was admitted by roturd likable Congress ssma n Clarence Brown of Ohio, one of Senator Tafts most devoted Presidential promoters, who recently discussed Taft's chances of defeating Eisen- Eower.
 Ike will have to take stand cn 18-year- -olds," he explained pri- vately to friends, "and that will get all the mothers sore at him.
 Then he's been over in Germany talking to the Nazi generals . Brown continued, and that isn't going to please the Jewish voters.
 And he's taking a stand on send ing troops to Europe, which will get a lot of other people sore at him. So," concluded Congressman Brown, Ike hasn't got a chance against Taft"
 Ncte-It is significant, however, that Taft himself has now hedged a little on his original stand against sending troops to Europe.

ANOTHER FREEZE BY COVER INTENT

] WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 -AR-The Government today froze until March Is all sales and deliveries of cattle hides, calfskins and kips. The step was taken pending establishment of government controls to assure mili- tary supplies.
 The National Production Auth ority, which issued the order, said it applies to priority orders for the Armed Forces as well as other purchases.
 But NPA said the action will not curtail current output of shoes, lug gage and other goods because of the time lag - usually about two months required for tanning and processing raw hides for manufac- turing purposes.
 The government previously had rolled back the prices of hides.

Just as the Howard University Negro players toured Norway a year ago to offset the propaganda of Negro singer Paul Robeson, so an orchestra from Duquesne Uni versity in Pittsburgh has recently toured Yugoslavia to build good will with the people of that country.
 The Duquesne orchestra, many of them the sons of Pennsylvania steel workers who migrated here from Yugoslavia, probably accomp- lished more than diplomacy could do in 20 years.
 "The Russians" commented ar excited Yugoslav leader to U. s. Ambassador Allen. come in glum and glowering. They want to take everything out for themselves. But these tamburitZans are smiling and happy They give to us. We are all for Americanski system."
 The Duquesne youngsters, all of Yugoslav descent with such hyph- enated names as Pat Jordanoff. sang and danced before more than 100000 wildly cheering Yugoslavs singing Yugoslav folk songs, as well as cowboy songs and American folk dances.
 Ambassador Allen, introducing them at Lyubyana, said: These are the descendants of your own heroic people. In the United States pesple are free to carry on the culture of their parents. We are proud of the Yugoslav contribution to our culture"
 The Duquesne students found the Yugoslav people united on one big point, roaring contempt and dis like for Moscow.

II you ever have wanted to kick
yourself for learning how to study.
you probably hope your child will
latch on to this valuable tool early
in life. says Changing Times. the
Kiplinger magazine.
You may be resigned to worry
ing along with that old mind of
yourS-a mind that makes you
consult notes in a conference be-
cause it refuses to retain specific
facts, makes you carry cards when
you make a speech. makes you
read at snail's pace to master
information, but your child need
not be so handicapped. Not. at
least, if you take the trouble to
see that he learns to study.
Even though he is getting in
struction on how to study in
school, it doesn't follow that he
will continue to practice good
study habits at home. So, If your
child is to learn the lesson that
will prove of most value through
all his life, it Is up to you to do
something you can to help him
learn that lesson.
Studying Is an Art.
Studying is more than sitting
for a given length of time with an
open book. 1t is not just reading,
either, nor is it working few
arithmetic problems by formula
the youngster copies from a book
one night and forgets the next
day.
Studying is independent think
ing ON set of facts. 1t is ques-
tioning those facts. weighing
them. fitting them into familiar
situations. comparing them with
other knowledge. 1t is mastering
new words, new ideas, so that
they no longer belong to some
textbook writer, but become the
child's own, and it is doing these
things on the schedule required
by his school program.
1t is not SO difficult as you
might think to make a child want
to study. Remember how, as a.
bright-eyed youngster of five or
six. he delighted in every new
experience, in each scrap of in
formation that came his way? An
older child can retain that same
approach to learning if you do
your part.
Independence Is Important.
There is no simple formula. but
here are some pointers:
Set him free. A child's brain
needs training in independence.
He cannot look to you for answers
forever, and you should start a
campaign to let him think for
himself early.
That doesn't merely mean that
you should not work all his arith-
metic problems for him. 1t alsoI
means that you should discouraged
him from accepting new ideas
blindly.
Guide him into exploring a bit
deeper. and working out as many
Of his own answers as he can.
Studying Is necessarily a lonely
business, and If he is to learn, hel
must be able to do it alone. Study
ing Is a tool for finding out aboutll

room. at the dining-room table,
or in a corner of the attic. It is
much better If he can have his
own desk and his own chair Ia
straight-backed one). A good
lamp is essential.
Start OF With Bang.
Suppose all those things have
been taken care of. and the young
ster complains that he "just can't
concentrate" Give him these sug-
|gestions:
/. Because the hardest part may
be getting started, tell him to give
the first few minutes all the
energy he has.
2. He should work by the job,
not by the hour. Get him to work
