The Passing Show

Stranger in the Night. the dlree-aet eomesy thriller present cd by the Junior Glass Of Palmer High School Nov. 90, proved a fitting vehicle for the first dra. matie flight of fledgling young actors. There was enough plot to relieve the characters of too much responsibility for audience un- derstandinE. and enough laughs to keep the audience relaxed and hopeful
 Special bouquets should 90 to those whose facile wings lifted them from stage-struck immo- bility with their first tries al emotional scaling. Geraldine Kin dgren. Stuart Dreghorn, Vosella Hughes. and Bertha Wassili were convincing in their roles. Lowell Krise's portrayel of the awk- ward, extremely shy law student "a difficult role was quite competent. The other characters, grounded by the weight of more difficult interpretation. became more convincing as the denoue- ment approached. Given a couple more acts and they might have been soaring also.
 The production staff should be complimented on a very good job of stage designing. There was nothing amateurish about the sets.

WHAT OF ALASKA?

With very good reason, the Prince Rupert Daily News takes to task the Alaska chambers of for their scant representation at the annual ton of the Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia and Affiliated Chambers of Com merce of Southeast Alaska held earlier this month at Prince Rupert
 The Daily News points to the fact that the Alaska chambers sent plenty of resolutions to the annual meet by Aaskas and only representative who, the News continued, did her job "capably"
 That one representative vice president for Alaska for the Associated Boards of Trade, Susie Vim, Empire staff member, who represented the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, and the Daily Alaska Empire.
 Next year, believe Juneau should make an eff fort to send larger delegation to this important meeting-as should other towns in Southeast Alaska.
 Those who read Miss Winns report of the meeting in the Empire and heard her report to the Chamber Of Commerce were impressed with her story of boom- ing British Columbia.
 These people in British Columbia are our neigh bors Our resources are similar. We have in com mon forests, mines water power and fisheries That our mines should remain unproductive while neigh boring properties in British Columbia operating profitably; that we only commencing to de- velop our first pulp mill, whereas British Coumbas several have been operating for many years; that a
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-09-25

waterpower project is bringing to British Columbia of the worlds largest aluminium plantsthese facts are significant and thought-provoking
 We have much to learn from bustling boom- ing neighpor.
 If, as is hinted dnost recently by Governor Gruening at the recent science meeting at Mt. Mckinley Park, the Department of the Interior is responsible for the lag in Alaskas development we might be able to learn enough from the progress of industry in British Columbia to aid in presenting Alaskas case to our own government.
 Having identical resources our development should proceed hand in hand with that of our Canadian neghbors. If they can show that friendlier attitude toward investment capital will attract that capital and develop their resources then should do something to attract such investors to Alaska.
 More representation at our joint Boards of Trades meetings should serve to stir up little interest among the Alaska towns.
 Here. in part, is the Prince Rupert Daily News editorial which asks:
 WHAT OF ALASKA?
 Alaska was represented by only delegate at the annual convention of the Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia and the Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Southeast Alaska we'll known and popular young lady-Miss Elizabeth Wlnn, Juneau newspaperwoman-came, bearing number of resolutions important matters of mutual concern between Alaska ana central bfltlSn IoiulipId' pdl tcularly the port of Prince Rupert which she capably piloted through the convention.
 "So there could be no complaint about the quality of the representation which Alaska had at the convention However, it was something much to be regretted that there should not have been more quantity and broader representation.
 Tt is some years now since forward-looking members of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Com merce realizing the importance of Prince Rupert's strategic position gateway to Alaska, commenced the goodwill movement in relation to the territory. We remember the response which received from particularly of Kechikan, nearest neighbor who brought lively energy and new ideas to Associated Boards conventions of recent years In 1947 even had the Governor of Alaska here. And, in other years there strong delegations at Associated Boards conventions here and elsewhere But where were they all this year?
 "In view of the industrial development of the plywood mill at Juneau, the newly reopened mill at Wrangell, the expanding fishing industry, the increasing tourist ravelthe service that the port of Prince Rupert, the Canadian National Railways and the Skeena River highway have to offer, to say nothing of the market that could be created in Alaska for central interior agricultural products would appear to be of significance than today in relation to the territory.
 Tt is particularly disappointing, therefore, that we should have seen so few of our Alaska friends at the convention. !"

TENNESSEE FUED

It was meant for the eyes of a few, select Senators only, but old crotchety Kenneth McKellar, the grandpa of the Senate, has written an angry letter about his Ten nessee colleague, crimebuster Estes Kefauver. The letter was mailed to all members of the Senate Jud- iciary committee in order to under mine Kefauver's plan for appoint ing a rowing judge for Tennes- see.
 "As a member of the Policy Committee of the Senate, I secured l for MT. Kefauver a place on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I ap- o1ogi( for that" sourly wrote McKellar
 This is the latest eruption in a bitter feud between the two Ten nessee Senators. It started when Kefauver refused to let McKellar handpick all federal jobs in Ten nessee. Mcclellan became so enrag- ed that he forbade his staff to mention Kefauver's name in his presence. Ever since, the vengeful McKellar has sniped at everything Kefauver has tried to do in the Senate.
 Now McKellar is urging a new judge for middle Tennessee, but Kefauver is seeking a rowing judge who would divide his time between the mid-state where a judge is ill and western Tennessee which is rapidly growing. Local senti- ment supports Kefauver in this.
 For some unaccountable rea- son, unless it be politics, MT. Ke- fauver turned up not long ago wanting to make that judge a roy- ing judge. :" McKellar complained bitterly in his private letter to the Judiciary Committee members. ". he insists on having the new judge made a rowing judge for both middle and west Tennessee, and in some manner unknown to me, he claims to have secured a major ity of the committee in favor of his amendments"
 Then McKellar, who yields a great power as boss of the Appro- priations Committee, appealed: T am asking you as Senator to vote for my amendment to strike out MT. Kefauver's amendment.
 T would be greatly obliged for your vote and support in keeping politics out of our judicial affairs" |" concluded McKellar after himself pulling heavily on the political wires.

NEEDING OUT BuREAUcRATs

It hasn't received any publicity, but President Truman has ord cred a drastic housekeeping to sweep the drones from federal gov overnment. An ultimatum has al- ready gone out to all agencies to clean house or face budgetary and personal cuts.
 The present emergency has caused great demands on the man. power resources of our country with shortages of manpower in certain special areas already be- ing felt The federal government, as the largest single employer in the country, should set the ex- ample. Therefore, I expect the head of each executive department and agency to bring about maxi mum effectiveness and economy in the utilization of personnel" the President wrote in identical letters to Civil Service Chairman Robert Ramspeck and budget Director Frederick Lawton.
 Truman ordered them to Ire quest reports from all departments and agencies and conduct regular inspections and surveys so that reports can be made to me on progress in conserving manpower.
 "This manpower conservation program should be given top pri- ority throughout the executive branch" the President added.
 As a result. Ramspeck and Law ton sent a joint ultimatum to all agencies to take steps to assure the most effective and economical use" of manpower. This will be followed by on-the-spot inspect ions to make sure the drones exit.

The Washington ihin!jf ,i Merry-Go-Round
(Continued from Page One)

for this column to report what their general conclusions are:
 1.-Russia will not latklch world war III this year. However, Russia is expected to continue pressing war by satellites.
 2.-China, not Russia, has been more eager for truce. The U. $. war study indicates that Russia came out with the truce proposal chiefly for propaganda purposes; perhaps to stall for time in order to get new arms to Korea.
 3.-Next step in Communist az gression is likely to be Burma, Thailand, and Indo-China. This is all important to the Kremlin if the millions of China are to have rice. Mo | ow would Probably gamble on starting world war III in these countries, though she does not actually want it.
 4.-In Iran the Russians will probably march into the northern province of Azerbaijan and take it by force-if the British go into southern Iran to protect their oil refinery. Here again the Russians are willing to gamble that the west will not go to war over Iran.
 5.-In Germany, the U. s. an- alysis does not anticipate a Rus sian military move. but does for see a continual army build-up.
 Moscow's biggest drive will be pressure through local govern ments to stop the building of U. s. air bases in Europe and north Africa.
 Behind the Iron Curtain
 Increasing evidence is coming back from inside the Iron Curtain 10 show that the freedom friend ship balloons and other activities of the crusade for freedom have really got under the KremlinS skin.
 In east Bohemia, for instance, fields where the balloon messages fell were declared off limits" to farm workers by security sections of the National Communist Com mittee. Tn another section of Be- hemia, Communist officials offer ed rewards to the teams of youth brigades who collected the largest number of friendship leaflets.
 Near the Czech-Austrian border, a patrol of border police reported "voluminous flying objects" which might be enemy paratroopers. When Prague got the report, it dispatched tank units amid great excitement
 The flying objects, however, turned out to be pillow balloons with the word "Svoboda"- Free dom written on them in large letters. They were bouncing along the ground in the early morning twilight like, miniature flying saucers. Inside of them, of course, were friendship messages from the American people to the people of Czechoslovakia.
