Presidents Vacations

tISSlUSUt VQCutbUHS
Persons who criticized the President
for taking his recent vacation would do
well to ponder what happened to Frank
lin D. Roosevelt as result of overwork
and insufficient rest. The fact that
American boys are sacrificing their
lives in Korea is. of course, unfortunate
and tragic. but this is entirely beside the
point, as it may be seriously questioned
whether the Korean situation would be
improved if the President were to give
up all vacations.
Let those who do not believe in vaca-
tions give UP their own. The only
sensible course for a person who has
the responsibilities of the President OF
the United States, especially one who
is middle aged or older, is to keep
physically fit by periodic rests and
vacations.

Aeronautits Board Hit for Non-Sked
 Death Sentencing

WASHINGTON, July - tR - Congressional committee has urged in a report that the Civil Aero nautics Board (CAB) reasses it's en- tire approach to air transport. II insinuated the board is subservient to the big, certified air lines.
 The report, compiled by the Sen ate Small Business committee, said the CAB might also study the use of subsidies for the big lines which have provided only an almost lux ury-type service"
 The findings are result of CAB order last March 2, limiting the 3D. odd non-scheduled lines to three flights month over major traffic segments and eight flights between all other points.
 The nonscheduled lines said the order would drive most of them out of passenger business. But any more regularized flights would put the nonskeds into flying regular routes, contrary to CAB law, the body argued.
 The committee said it believed the proposed ruling would be death sentence for irregular air carriers, which, it added, had made a major contribution to air transport and have managed to survive since 1s4S in spite of constant harassment.'

Juneau Itetap Tourist Feature,
 Says pr. Moore

The Juneau Icecap is a coming tourist attraction, said Dr. Ferris Moore, president of the University of Alaska, today.
 "The time is not far off," he said, when this icefield will be 3 real tourist attraction. It is easily accessible by plane, and, coupled with the most sublime scenery, of- fers an ideal location for summer skiing"
 pr. Moore is especially interested in the tourist as an economic fac tor.

JOHNSTON WARNS OF CHEAP DOLLAR
 IF CONTROLS END

WASHINGTON, July g - R - Eric Johnston told the nation today to look for "a much cheaper dollar" worth perhaps 30 to 40 cents in le2a terms - if economic controls are scrapped.
 Declaring that the dollar is now worth about 53 to 54 cents in l93S value, Johnston said my guess is that it might be worth between 30 and 40 cents in 1889 purchasing power, in 10 years, if you don't do something about imitation"
 Johnston in copyrighted lhter- view with the magazine U. s. News and World Report, predicted a gov ernment deficit this year of from S5.OOO 100000 to $T,0O0 000,00O.
 Under the present defense pro gram. he estimated the cash deficit in the budget would be up to 70 or 25 billion" for the next fiscal year beginning July l, 1852.
 Of the deficit he predicted TOT this year, Johnston added;
 ''Now that isn't too great. Proo- ably we can live with it, provided Congress gives us adequate con trols = stronger, not weaker con- trols."
 Publication of the interview CO., incided with the beginning of tenta- tive voting in the house on amend ments to a bill which would exteno the present wage, price and other economic controls.
 Controversy over the contfoiS program has flared into nation wide political fight. The adminls- tration is bringing it's heaviest ar tillery to bear on an oppoSi'loi4 drive to cut controls sharply or oe away with them altogether.
 President Truman has asked ioi increased powers over the nation economy to speed the defense elior' and check imitation.

 With the nations schools in the most deplorable condition in our entire history, Is members of the House of Representatives judiciary committee voted to turn the na- tion's tidelands oil over to three states and their oil companies, in- stead of using the proceeds for edu- cational purposes.
 On the other side of Congress, II Senators introduced resolution whereby the royalties from this oil administered by the federal govern ment, would go to aid the schools and colleges of the entire nation.
 The first group-the Is members of the judiciary committee-voted secretly. Even behind the closed doors of their committee they tried to avoid a rollcall vote, and II It

Alaska Line, Radio Union
 Termed Discriminatory In Crewman's DismissaI

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9 --lH- A National Labor Relations Board examiner ruled Saturday that the Alaska Steamship Go. and the American Radio Association (CIO) were in violation of the law in the dismissal of Horace w. Underwood as a radioman.
 Trial Examiner A. Br.ce Hunt recommended to the board that the company be ordered to reinstate Un- derwood
 He also recommended that he be reimbursed for lost income from the time the steamer Alaska was re- turned to service after Oct. Is, 1850
 The recommendation would pro- vide for the union and the company to share in the reimbursement lia- bility.
 He concluded that the firm dis criminated against Underwood under pressure from the union because he was not a union member. Hunt held the action to be an unfair labor practice under the Taft Hartley Act.
 Underwood had been radio operator on the steamship Alaska.
 The examiner recommended that the company be ordered to cease en- couraging membership in the unior or in any other labor organization by refusing to employ, or discrim- mating against. any person because of non membership
 He recommended that the union be ordered to cease causing the company to discriminate against any person for his failure to belong to the radio association.

PRESIDENT
 ASKS GERMAN
 PEACE TREATY

WASHINGTON, July g - R - President Truman asked Congress today to end the state, of war be- tween the United States and Ger many. He said that unfortunately Russia had made a final peace set clement impossible at this time.
 MT. Truman's action was part or a coordinated move by the western Allies. The French cabinet approved decree to the same end although it was not clear whetnci u Was CT fective immediately or must await the formation of new cabinet in the next few days.
 Foreign secretary Herbert Morri- son announced to the House of Commons that Britain's state of war with Germany was ended as from today.
 End Staie of War
 Three members of the British Commonwealth - acting ir advance - ended their state of war with the Germans. They were Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. New Zea- land also announced the end of its state of war with Austria.
 The move was of major import ance in the east-west battle for the minds and support of the German people.
 It also had some practical advan- tages for the Germans although 1t will not end the occupation by the western powers.
 With the state of war at an end, Germans will be able to travel or do business in the United States as nationals of friendly government rather than as enemy aliens.
 Also Germans will be able to bring suits in U. s. courts.
 Asks for Resolution
 Specifically, MT. Truman asked that Congress adopt resolution de- claring the state of war with Ger many shall be terminated at such date as the President proclaims.
 This country has been in a state of war with Germany since Dec. II, 1941.
 The Presidents request was made in identical letters to the presiding officers of the Senate and House Vice President Barkley and Speaker Rayburn.
 The communication hit repeated ly at Russia, thus emphasizing the psychological importance of the move.
 Wants German Control
 MT. Truman said the western AL lies had sought to build up freeiy elected German government ana return to the German people "an increasing degree of control over their affairs"
 He continued:
 Unfortunately for all of us, how ever, and especially for the people of Germany, Soviet Russia has actively prevented the growth of representive democratic government in a-unified Germany, and has thus made impossible for the time being the arrangement of a final peace settlement. The Soviet effort has been, instead. to cut the eastern third of Germany away from the rest of the country and to develop it as a province of the new Soviet empire"
