 DEAR EUI7OR CONCLUDED June 18: I net a soldier aboard to- day who was from Mich. He spent a fow weeks in Alaska on vacat on and his cor1ment was, "It' Is a pretty country." He enjoyed the fl sh1ng etc So that Is one to chalk up for the Territ ory.
 This is the third day of good sal l. ing. Of course there was some fog but it wasn't like yesterday, as then the crew almost had to stand up on the bow and hack a path thrcu6 it,. well it was pretty thick any way.
 According to the captains report in the shtps' paper, we have gone four hundred and tive nty-seven nj les wi thin the last twenty-four hours, and avera ged a little over seventeen knots.
 The ship, acc cording to the word that's been passed around, is sup posed to have an escort into port. We should pick 1t up anytime now, but so far 1t hasn't appea red on the horizon.
 June l9: Foggy this morning, but c feared up this afternoon. We saw a pretty sunset but not like the ones we sec al hone.

 The music was furnished by a gui- ter and a dozen or so voices. It vG-s a nice way to end the day, but l still think that moon was wasted. June 20: Today sure has been day oI variable wea thor.

 June 22: Today proved to be most in- Iteres ting. We got into port about Iten- thirty this morning. The name lof the town or village was Otaru ,and hot tho one I mont ioned earlier. The army band with some of the TCWni be ople wore on hand to groot us as we pulled up to the pier.
 As whole, the peoples dress was lpatternod a fter ours. There were those wea ring what eemed to be parts lof their once army uniform. The people seemed glad to see our lship pull into tho pier, they Wav- |od and were all smi les.
 There were a few girls who turned out to meet the ship, much to the guys deli ght.
 When VIC unloaded our pa ssengers
 and started to pull out, the boys be- lgan tossing ci iearettes to the long lshore mon on tho dock. I guess there must be shortage the way they lscrambled for thoSe cigarettes. We have about two days to spend before our next destination s reached, June g: word about the we ther-- lc loudly and some fog. Today was much lthe same a the past two weeks ,ex- copt I had to work for a while today.

Christmas Celebration
Shows Great Differences
From That of Ancestors

Time changes everything. The
celebration of Christmas as we
know it, for example, is much diff
ferent than the way our grand
fathers celebrated, as was theirs
from their ancestors. Changing
times and customs bring about
changes in the way a holiday is
realized.
The use of Christmas adornments
follow the same pattern. Decora-
tons that adorn our Christmas trees
change with every new Yuletide.
Year in and year out, the most
popular tree decoration is the little
colored glass globe. While the
globe is almost a tradition and does
not change, other adornments of
constantly surprising shapes spring
up each year.
Among the new items are oddly
shaped little men in various peasant
dress. rotundish dwarfs, and a little
plastic bird that clamps his feet
on the tree limbs and lights up
And, who knows? Perhaps this
year someone will put on the mar
ket a pre-decorated tree. All one
will have to do is plug it in like the
family toaster and there is the
family Yule tree.

The sale of Christmas seals in
the United States was a success
from the start. However, it took
some time for the public to become
conscious enough of the great work
for which the seal was instituted.
Leigh M. Hodges, then a COL
umnist for Philadelphia news
paper, helped publicize the first
sale in 1907. when he watched a
Philly newsboy purchase one of the
first seals with these words, "Gi'me
one. Me sisters got it." Hodges
wrote: THAT settled it. II a street
boy could get the message. the
message is the kind we need"
For A years Christmas Seals
have successfully carried the
message to America that tuber-
culosis can be wiped out if we
fight it together-by purchasing
Christmas Seals.

Early Americans
Had No Difficulty
With YuIe Candle

Christmas candles have come a
long way since the days of the Pill
grims when each householder made
his own
1t was simple matter for early
Americans to make candles. They
simply dipped a long wick into a
pot of hot tallow, drew it out to cool
and harden, then dip it into the
melted wax again and again in the
same way. The results, however,
were unimaginative. The candles
were all thick, plain, and practical.
Today Yuletide candles have sur
prising shapes and chubby
Santas, slender church spires, snow
balls covered with frost-almost any
shape desired One designer even
created small wax tree that, when
lighted, gave off the scent of pine.

Before going to Detroit, the COM
mittee explored in the New York
New Jersey area the tie-up between
the Ford Motor Co. and the notori-
Gus gangster, Joseph Dota, alias
Joe Adonis. Adonis is a principal
stakeholder of the Automotive Con-
veying Co. of New Jersey, which
transports automobiles away from
the Ford plant at Edgewater, N. J.
Because of this, the committee
looked into possible relationships
between Ford's plants in the De-
troit area and other racketeers.
We found that the principal haul
away operator was the E&L Trans
port Co., in which one Anthony
D'Anna, ex-convict and former
sugar supplier to bootleggers, was
so per cent stakeholder. D'Anna
drew a $4,000 salary from ELL
but apparently he did nothing to
earn it.
Before acquiring his E&L stock,
D'Anna, through negotiations with
Harry Bennett, labor boss for the
late Henry Ford, ST., had obtained
so per cent share of a profitable
Ford agency in Wyandotte, Mich.
Bennett, now retired, had, as the
committee noted, "employed vir-
tually a private army recruited
from ex-convicts and criminals to
engage in battles against labor
and in other anti-social activities"
Subpoenaed from his California
ranch to testify, he was a hostile
and difficult witness When we
asked him about the gang factions
in Detroit, he snapped: do you

he was a key man in one of the

any kind.

White House assistants were
warned about the Key West trip
by Mr.. Truman at a staff confer

We've got plenty of hard work to
On the first headache, peace, Mr..
Truman assembled ali the plans
and ideas dumped on the White
House doorstep to study at Key
West: He hopes to come up with a
tangible, imaginative program to
stop the spread of communism and
prevent war.
The President, for all his other
faults, has an almost mystic,
though sometimes naive sense of
his role of a peacemaker and con-
stantly repeats to close associates:
THE only thing that counts is to
find a way to world peace"
Mr.. Truman has in mind a type
OF point program which would
teach other nations how to build
their industry and agriculture as an
alternative to the huge ornaments
race. He is also deeply concerned
about related problem which this
columnist has frequently reported
namely, the hundreds of thou

Truce Talks

Here is the inside story on the
Korean truce talks.
General Ridgway has cabled a
strong recommendation to the Pen
tagon that we keep the military
pressure on the Communists until
all the terms of the armistice are
settled. Otherwise, he warns that
the Chinese will stall over such
matters as inspection teams and
exchanging prisoners.
Ridgway also claimed that
his forces can hurry the final
armistice-provided they re-
main free to twist the Commu-
nists' arm. On the other hand,
he argues that after truce his
men won't feel like fighting for
ground that they know is going
to be given back anyway. Ridg-
ways gamble is that his tactics
won't cause a breakdown of the
talks, but will actually speed the
final armistice.
However. there is no question
but that Ridgway's proposal rep
reSentS definite and important
change of policy.
Here are the background facts
which they are considering.
When we went into the truce
talks, the biggest obstacle seemed
to be drawing a truce line. We
ag 'eed-in fact, urged-that the
truce line be settled first. This has
been the whole question of the past
several weeks. We even drew our
proposed truce line on a map so the
Communists could have no doubts
about it. After months of haggling.
the Communists finally came
around to our terms. Their last
proposal was so close to our de.
mands that there was nothing lief,
to haggle over. At first Washing
ton couldn't understand why Ridg.
way didn't snap it up, but sent his
negotiators back instead with flat
rejection aid warning that the
truce line couldn't be drawn until
the other terms of the armistice
were settled.
