THE COLD SLOPE

Now comes the long, slow haul up the cold slope
toward spring and April The cold days and the long
nights are ours, the best and the worst of winter
Long nights and early evenings, fireplace evenings
for long thoughts and simple comforts Star nights,
when the old patterns in the sky CLEAN with promise
of the nearest certainty the most enduring continuity,
that is visible from any winter window or any snowy
road. Late dawn, when the gray world comes alive
after darkness and chill that seemed so deep they
might last forever. High moons, with a sun so far
to the south that only the faith of generations can
believe that it will be overhead again, come June
Winter which drives man in upon himself and tests
his mettle and his understanding.
January and February the darkest months,
and the codest and the snowiest In part OF the
world this is the time when the rocks have lost the
last of their autumn heat and the earth itself heaVes
with frost Now the seep among the stones turns 70
ice and levers the stones The ice shoulders the
river valleys splits the cliffs and loosens the soil
in the meadows This is the time of cold memorable
force working silently all around us.

A LOng-Lived Hoax
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
Weather balloons, flares, meteorites, Authorizations
pilot fatigue power of suggestion and the reflections
of objects in aircraft windows and windshelds have
been the only facta the frequently reported
flying saucer" So asserts Col. Harold E. Watson
head of the Air Forces Project Saucer" unit. As
interviewed by Bob Considine in the current Cos
mopolitan magazine, Colonel Watson declares cate
gorcally that there positively flying saucers
either hostile own-although it costs the tax
pavers plenty to expose this great American hoax"
He added that he wished the Air Force did have such
form of aerial propulsion, since ut would come IN
handy in Korea"
The "flying saucer has been notable phenom-
enon whether not it actually exists, and in view
of the weight of evidence Colonel Watson obviously
right that there such thing. Although there
have been good many occasions where mass hysteria
caused some foolish ,reactions-as witness the IN
vason From Mars" broadcast by which Orson Wells
innocently startled the nation decade agothe flying
saucer hoax certainly has no rivals for persistence,
1t has continued period of several years now,
recurring in cycles This alone has caused many people
to suppose that there must be some tangible reality
to the reports in line with the axiom Where there's
smoke there's bound to be fire"
Colonel Watson named some of the most general
probable causes of the flying saucer" reports Jet
planes and experimental arcraft-some of which are
decidedly bizarre in appearance, even though they
definitely not saucersno doubt account for other
such reports. AS matter of fact when an ordinary
airplane is viewed lateray from distance the nose
fuselageand rudder give something of the impression
of saucer During the periods when many people
were seeing" flying this was likely answer
to what they actually were seeing.
The Air Force has become resentful of Saucer
hoaxers because it does money to investigate the
various reports Without intent to condone any delib-
crate hoaxing, however, hope the Air Force will
not discourage the reporting of ordinary
aircraft in Americas skies. We can't forget that
Sunday morning in Pearl Harbor when a Lieutenant
attached to the radar unit was that
permenting private nothing on the screen, when
the soldier reported that the radar receiver indicated
fleet of approaching aircraft that he did not even
make routine check. The cost OF his unwarrante5
assurance appalling.

II Cent Dollar

The housewives probably won't
be surprised az this, though the
figures look pretty bad on paper.
However, the unacceptable fact is
that the 1889 dollar is now worth
ONLY 27 cents, when it comes TO
buying such everyday items as but
ter, coffee. cocoa, sugar, silk and
print cloth.
This is shown in the price in
creases of % commodities, compiled
daily by the Bureau of Lager Sta
tiStics.
In other words, what a dollar
would buy in 1889 now costs APP
proximately S3.65 This is measure
of how the dollars purchasing pow
er has dwindled for the following
commodities barley, burlap, butter
cocoa bean, coffee, copper, corn,
cotton, cottonseed oil. flaxseed,

TRUMAN Sees mo
FUTURE, /" HIS JOB;
TALKS AT DINNER

w SHNGTON, Feb. 1-LR--Pre-
sidenG Truman see. mo future" in
his job.
He said so last light at an in
formal dinner in Honor of q new
Democrats elected to the House
last November. The dinner was
given by the Democratic National
Congressional Committee.
Citing the cases of Vice President
Barley, speaker Sam Rayburn and
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson, all
of whom once served in the House,
as examples Of the prospect that
lies ahead Of new congressman, Mr..
Truman said:
There's one thing about this
job (the Presidency, it has no
future in it. Every young man wants
something to look forward to-
The President made no reference
to his legislative program but he
ended his remarks with this:
IT hope that when the next oc-
casion for this meeting comes about
that there will be so many new
Democrats in the House OF Repre-
sentatives, that this room won't
hold them"
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1951-02-01

some. He failed to use them. Con-
gress extended these powers late
last summer but they have lain
dormant ever since.
Second, the President failed to
pick experienced men to handle
price-Vage control, though he had
a handful of experts around the
corner whom he could have called
in overnight.
However, Harry Truman has a
strange quirk-psychiatrists might
call it an inferiority complex-about
using Roosevelt personnel. He wants
to stand of his own feet. Probably
this was the reason why he did not
call in the men who grew up with
price control and on the whole
did an amazingly good job-Leon
Henderson, Chester Bowles and
Paul Porter.
Leon Henderson, who set up OPA
offices all over the country in re-
cord time, is still in Washington
as consultant for private business.
Chester Bowles has just finished
a term as Governor of Connecticut.
Paul Porter is practicing law. None
are looking for trouble, much pre-
fer to stick to their own knitting,
but they would have helped out
nonetheless-if asked. But they were
not even asked to help as consul
tants.
Instead, complete greenhorns were
selected for the toughest job in the
entire U.SA.-controlling prices and
wages and making people like it.
Note-Another wise counselor on
the domestic economic front is Ber-
nard M Baruch, who also was left
on the sidelines. The reason: Mr.
Trumans yearning for letter-writ-
ing. He wrote Bernie one of his
/ hottest.
