Alaska newspapers as well as newspapers throughout the States have been hit by the newsprint shortage. At least one Alaskan paper has suspended because of the shortage, and others have had to curtail their sales.
 This situation is particularly la mentable in Alaska, which has the timber to supply a large percent age of the annual newsprint re- ouirements of the United States.
 Newspapers in the States and Canada. in the interests of inter- national good will, recently relin- quished 9,550 tons of newsprint to help publishers in Greece, India, Malaya, Pakistan, the Philippines and Yugoslavia.
 That is sufficient newsprint to keep all Alaska newspapers well supplied for several years. It would represent, on the other hand, some thing less than a weeks production if Alaska were turning out news print at full potential capacity. The U. s. government is perhaps the largest single user of paper and paper products in this country. American paper manufacturers must now reserve a part of their produc- ton for government use. The percentage of their paper output that must Ee reserved for the government varies for different grades. It runs from five percent of total production of newsprint, sanitary tissue and absorbent pa pers up to 25 percent of the total output of crepe wadding for pack ing. The big demand for crepe wad- ding in government is unexplained. It may be that new OPS regula- tions are packed in it to cut down breakage.
 Government efforts to conserve paper are well illustrated by an or der issued not long ago by Oscar B. Ryder. Chairman of the United States Tariff Commission.
 Under previous regulations it had been necessary to submit five cop- lies of each Of certain applications for investigations by the Tariff Commission. Chairman Ryders or der of June 20, 1851, makes it man. datory that 15 copies of each such application be submitted in the tu- ture.

to the present difficulties.
 A more practical approach to land distribution would be to ab- olish at least a couple of dozen of the presently existing land agen- cies and sub-agencies and to streamline the procedures of the others.

The statehood bill now pending
 before Congress raises a serious
 question as to the future control
 of Alaska's tidelands, according to the minority report on the mea.-
 sure.
 s. 30, the dissenting Senators as-
 sert, does not provide any precise boundary for the new State other than whatever language is contain ed in the old treaty of annexatlon'
 Certain amendatory language, the minority report says, has been inserted in section 4 which states that the Federal Government snail retain the right of ingress and eg- ress from it's lands across adJoih- ing lands which are subject to the ebb and flew of daily tides.
 This language, when considered in the light of the firm policy ol the Interior Department to con- trol Alaska, it's lands and It's re-
 sources, leaves no choice but to as sume that the Department will con- strue the bill as retaining control of the tidelands in the Federal Government.
 "The amendment is scleverly Wor- ded and the Departments position
 would probably be sustained by the courts. Thus the proposed new StaCe and its people would be stripped of their greatest potential asset Already there are growing indlca-
 tions of bright oil prospects along
 the southern coast of Alaska. The tidelands question might well De-
 come a matter of the most Vltal concern to the new State and US inhabitants This is one of the many instan- ces where the Congress cannot fail in it's obligation to the Ierrl-
 tory. If the tidelands do not pass to the State but are retained in the
 control of the Federal Government,
 what happens to all the Aiaskahs who have developed homes, busmes- sae etc on the tidelands under the previously existing policy enunclated
 hv the Congress Gin sec. ? Of the act of May IA, 1898, 30 Stat. 4o9O? If the trust policy established py tbat act is to be repudiated by the h;u of admission, then the occu- pants of the tidelands in Alaska will retain their occupancy after statehood at the whim of the ln- terior Department"
 Federal Lands are now admlnls- tered by more than 40 agencies, and 16 agencies manage Federal timber lands, according to Rep. Russell V. Mack of Washington. Rep. Mack, who is publisher of 1 the Hoquiam Washingtonian, told | the House that the United States can become land poor" by failing to put government lands into the
 hands of private citizens who, by
 their labors and ingenuity, can con-
 vert it to it's most productive use v

fate is approaching right on scIed-
ule. Personal concern-and only
personal concern and responsibility
can turn a red stop light on
death as it speeds down our high

Mr.. Dearborn said that the
Christmas-New Years holiday sea-
son is the peak accident period of
the year and the time when traffic
accidents present the most acute
problem. Heavier travel and the
festive spirit of the season always
add to the normal winter hazards
of bad weather, slippery roads and
added hours of darkness.
"These increased hazards call
for extra care and caution on the
part of both pedestrians and driv-
ers." he said, especially if we
are going to prevent the millionth
traffic death from occurring dur
ing the Christmas season.
"Don't let death take your holi-
day-or anyone else's."

A PLEA TO KEEP
TRAFFIC DEATHS
FROM MOUNTING
Let's Do Our Best To Hold
Down the Loss From Au-
tomobile Mishaps

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-The Ma
tional Safety Council appealed to
the nation today to keep the mil
lionth traffic death from being a
tragic Christmas present to some
American family.
At the present rate of traffic
deaths, the millionth victim is ex-
pected to die the third week of
observation-disclosures at the height
of the Christmas season.
cit is bitterly ironic that the
gaiety and festivity of the Christ
mas season should provide the
backdrop for one of the most trag-
ic events in the nations motor We
hicle history" said Ned H. Dear
born, president of the Council.
"And it must come as a shock
to realize that in only so years
the lives of almost 100000 men,
women and children have been
squandered in one of the most
senseless and deplorable wastes of
modern times.
"But even more shocking than
the toll itself is the unacceptable
fact that few Americans feel any
real personal concern over this
problem. Since the approximate
date of the millionth death was an
nounced more than eight months

A NEW VIOLET
ATTENDS BUOYS
LIKE THE OLD
Cardinals Coast People Well
Remember the Old Side
Wheeler, Now Re-
By DALLAS MADISON
In the News & Observer

PAMLICO.-An absorbing story
of the sea is that of two buoy tend
ers with the same name-the old
Violet and now the new Violet
which for nearly IS years of the
past 100 years have moved up and
down, and in and out, the innum-
cradle bays, inlets, sounds and riv-
ers in North Carolina, Virginia
and Maryland.
The story of the older Violet be-
gan in the early 1905 when she
was commissioned and put into
service. Fifty years later, in the
early 1905, the new and modern
edition of the Violet began making
her rounds, which she is still doing,
as part of the Lighthouse Serv-
ice.
Old Sidewheeler
The older boat was a sidewheel-
er, powered by steam generated
from coal-burning boilers. The
new Violet has the modern propel-
lor in place of the old sidewheels,
of course, but it is steam driven by
oil-burning engines.
While the older boat was used
entirely for maintenance and re-
pair work on the thousands of
buoys, lights, bells and lighthouses,
the present Violet also does rescue
and disaster work. This has come
about because in 1941 the Coast
Guard absorbed the Lighthouse
Service and all tenders are now
also cutters.
The present Violet is also based
in Baltimore, but it operates also
in Maryland and Virginia waters
while most of the work of the old
er Violet was in Carolina waters
exclusively. The newer boat is
much larger, faster, more impress
sive-looking, and employs larger
complement of men.
The new Violet is over $50 feet
long, and has two decks, upper and
lower. On the upper deck are
found the pilot house, the bridge,
the captains quarters, and a new
er addition, a radio shack. The
new Violet also has a draught of
about Is feet, and can do about
IL to Is knots when going wide
open.
Another feature of the new Vio-
let is that it has a double smoke
stack or one smokestack inside
another. The total or net diameter
of this giant. structure is nine feet
and it rises nearly 40 feet in the
air.
The giant derrick-mast is at
least 80 feet high and it can lift
objects weighing several dozen
tons. Hosting a large-size house
would be easy for it to do. 1t can
lift the heaviest and largest OBJ
jects and parts necessary at any
point along its route.

largest tender-cutters in service at

such as the Linden and the Bar
barry. These smaller boats can go
into the more shallow waters and
GO inland as far as New Bern on

of about "a men, from mess boy
to captain, the new Violet num-
bers so or more members in it's

Having now completed over 20
years of continuous, active service,
the new Violet is itself considered
a veteran in the Lighthouse Serv-
ice and Coast Guard. Many of the
widely-publicized rescue missions
made by the Coast Guard off the
coast have been made by this YES
sci.
During the Second World War,
it also came into close contact
with German submarines. Though
never actually hit, it sighted sew
ereral subs and assisted in saving
dozens of sailors from boats which
had been sunk or hit by the Ger.
man U-boats.
Because of its size and draught
the new Violet is both an inter.
coastal as well as an intracoasta
vessel and is used in both types o.
waters.
