THE PRINTERS PROTEST

Three weeks ago. Juneau's printers-all of them joined in formal protest to the Acting Director of the Employment Security Commission when it was learned that the agency had called for bids an offset printing press.
 Since then printers and publishers in every judi cia division have added their voices to the protest against this ageHey's proposed purchase,
 The call for bids describes the equipment sought as Model 1250 Mutith Duplicator with accessories. The machine is in fact, offset press, capable of turning large quantity of good quality printed matter.
 The printers object to the purchase of this equip nlent for two reasons-both of which should be of interest to Alaska's taxpayers.
 Printers are aware that the operation of offset equipment by territorial agency could be the first step toward establishment of Territorial printing office. If the Employment Security Commission is permitted to install such equipment, precedent will have been established for other agencies seeking to follow suit. It can only follow that Alaskas tax paying printshops will be then deprived of large volume of business
 Governmental excursions into the fields of private enterprise invariably proven costly to the tax payer and to the industries so invaded Printing is exception
 number of the states own and operate their own printing plants and their history is sad one
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-09-08

costwse Invariably, the cost of operation far ex- ceeds the cost of purchasing the required printed matter. California is notable example A recent report by that states senate investigating commit tee discloses that since the state plant has been in operation, printing costs have risen sharply to warrant close scrutiny by that body. The report cites instance after instance where work performed in the state printing plant has cost the taxpayers more than three times it's purchase price in a competitive market
 That printing is best done by printers is automatic, Sidelne ventures, such that contemplated by the Employment Security Commission, undertaken with out skilled operating personnel and sufficient allied equipment, can only result in faure-at the taxs payers expense.
 The Commission has given verbal assurances to the printers that the proposed equipment is to be used, for printing but for office duplicating work to replace their obsolete stencil duplcator
 These assurances were undoubtedly given in good
 faith. However if this is indeed the case fail to see how the Commission can justify purchase of equipment that it does not intend to utilize to it's fullest capacity.
 Apparently the Commission has given little thought to the problems their printing venture will entail. For one thing skilled offset pressman will be required to operate and maintain the press. At prevailing scales, his salary will be at least $11OO0 weekly. Excluding the equipment price, the cost of paper inks composition and miscellaneous expenses, his salary for the bennium ($114OoOO will exceed by nearly $2,OO00O the Commissions total Alaska printing bill for the two years just past.
 The date set for the bid opening is Monday, September 10. It is to be hoped that the Commission will give serious thought to the problems outlined above and act in the best interests of the people whose money they propose to spend. It is to be +l,o+ lo ,,dfu al of tbe fopt t,ot Aaska,s 41 printing and publishing firms bear their fair share of the tax burden and pr5vde employment for several hundred individual craftsmen who also pay.
 It is time that government agencies return to the realization that their function is to serve the taxpayer rather than compete with him. Too many bureaus regard the taxpayer merely as a source of revenue and are indignant when he demands that they act in his interest
 We repeat the request of Alaska's printers that the Employment Security Commission confine it's activities those prescribed by the legislative acts which created it. We strongly urge that the Con- mission reject any and all bids for the contemplated printing equipment and instead, seek modern and efficient office duplicating equipment such that in use in thousands offices in Alaska and the states Such equipment is readily available, will produce volume of high quality work and will cost the tax payers but fraction of the price of an offset print ing press.

planning. One of the primary ob- jectives, in fact possibly the pri- mary objective of our military force must be to make it a deter rent to war. This is not an empty phrase. It effects the planning, the kind of tactics and strategy we are thinking of, and the kind of planes that the Air Force has to have and the techniques that 1t has to use. At the same time we have to build a force which will protect the country from disaster if our efforts fail and war comes But this deterrent quality of our force is something that we must and do have constantly in mind.

now flying. Nor can we rely on guided missiles taking over any important part of the job we will have two years from now. do look forward to the time when the air arm will he a mixture of what are called inhabited and uninhab- ited aircraft, which means ordin- ary planes flown by pilots and guided missiles. But even that time is some years away. Eventually and eventually means quite a~bit off, there may be time when we may even be in third phase when guided missiles will have reached a stage of development far beyond where they are now, when they may be able to take over all or most of the job of the man-flown airplane. But we haven't even reached the middle stage where guided missiles can take over an important part of the function of the man-floWn airplane.
 There are, however, some chan ges that we can estimate at the end of this two year period for which we must plan now. The most important of these is the fact that the atomic weapons re- sources of both ourselves and of our potential enemies will increase importantly.
 This requires a major develop ment in our planning. Heretofore we in the Air Force have not been able to think in terms of being able to use atomic weapons for the actual battle lines. Now we can think in these terms and must make our plans accordingly. This does not mean that this tactical operation is to become the main task of the Air Force. The job of the strategic air command will not be diminished by this new develop ment On the contrary the work of SAC will be increased because it will have more weapons it can use
 Incidentally, when thinking about these various functions of the Air Force we must not fall into the err TOT of ~What someone has called homogeneous thinking-that is the notion that you can't be married to more than one idea at a time We must not think because we see the importance of strategic air, that tactical air is not important or air defense. And because there will be important new develop ments in tactical air we must not think that strategic air and air de- fense also are not of high import ance. We must keep in mind all the things the air force has to do and not let our enthusiasm for one blind us to the importance of the others. Fallacious thinking along these lines must be avoided at all costs.
 2. The word unification can be misleading. The armed services are not unified in the sense of it's heinz one service ill one uniform
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-09-08

and under one operational com- mand. The congressional legislation never intended that it should be. On the contrary, the idea was to maintain the separate fighting un- it's of the Army, the Navy, the Marines, and the Air Force, and to provide the machinery for coor- dination under the authority of the Secretary of Defense to see to it that there was the proper amount of common planning and coordin- ation without interfering with the morale that comes from having separate forces. This is the way a lot of modern industry works. General Motors, for example, is a decentralized operation which makes lot of different types of cars with different names and gives a good deal of autonomy to the homogeneous of the individual companies. The same is true of the U. s. Steel Corporation and count less other companies. It seems to me a better system than the one uniform-on service idea. But to make it work involves a lot of re- straint and wisdom on the part of those who are in the separate ser vices, especially at a time such as the present when we are not at full war but where we are in phase of expansion. Incidentally, when you get to the. actual fighting front in Korea these problems of unification come close to being entirely eliminated)
 On the whole, I think that uni fication is working quite well. The responsibility for seeing that it does work is at the top with the service secretaries and the join; chiefs. The spirit of healthy rival " among the services cannot and should not be suppressed. But it is up to those in charge to see to 1t that this rivalry does not get be- yond certain self-imposed limits. I think that this is being done very well. It is being done by the joint chiefs of staff and it is being done among the three service secretar- ies. Personally, I have never work ed with more cooperative and fairminded colleagues than Secre- tary of the Army Pace, former Secretary of the Navy Matthews and now the new secretary of the Navy Dan Kimball.
 3. It may seem that peace is not the business of the military es- tablishrsent, but I do not agree with this. I think that we in the United States have gone about this rearmament program with great reluctance. We would much rather be devoting all this money, mater ial and effort to the things of peace. think it is for us to re- member that peace is the ultimate objective of all this. We do not have to worry about the negative side of this question because there is no one in responsible post in the American military establish ment, or as far as I know in the American government, who does not have the earnest hope and prayer that this military force of ours will never be used. We also have to think about peace in plan ming the kind of forces we are
