NOTES FROM YOUR EXTENSION SERVICE
by Graham Fulton

While Dick Blue and family are enjoying a we'll earned weeks holiday al Fairbanks, the swivel chair at the Extension office will be held down by yours truly.
 Another vacationing couple are Mir. and Mrs. Eugene Kirsch. They are spending the week end at Curry and plan to be back Tuesday.
 Local All gardners will be in- terested to know that the final judging of their gardens will take place the latter part of this week.
 A visitor to the office last week was Irving w. Abbot, secretary of the Alaska Certified Seed Growers Association. MT. Abbott spent three days in the area mak- ing his second field inspection of Edda barley and Golden Rain oats which are being grown for ~certification.
 Last week, a group of farmers from Palmer, Wasilla, Anchorage and Fairbanks, met with agricul- tural workers in the Palmer EX- tension office to discuss organiZa- tional procedures and policies of an Alaskan Agricultural plann- ing comittee. The Fairbanks and Kenai areas have already organiz- ed their local planning commit tees and have selected represen- tatives for the Territorial plann- ing committee. Palmer, Anchor age and Wasilla have yet to or ganize their local committee and when this is done, perhaps some time this fall, a meeting will be called to further the Territorial organization.

News and Comments

We were supposed to write a beginning for last weeks column but we didn't find time to get it in. Nevertheless there was some pretty good information or data referring to pasturing of dairy cows, keep it for reference.
 I understand last weeks Field Day at the Experiment farm was quite successful, didn't find time to make it myself.
 It looks like we will have good record crop hay, with all this good rain. While this slow rain might get a little monotonous at times, it's sure a lot better than the gully washers" they have been having in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
 I have observed recently the results of loss of top soil from wind erosion. It's bad. 1 haven't seen such a poor crop since the days of the great drought, back in the sos. If nothing else, I would spread straw or shavings on these potato cropped lands in the Fall to hold it down, disking it in.
 No meeting next month, time to be busy on that Fall work. the hospital this week, Blackwell will spend his recuperating time at the local fire guard station.

Puckinghouse Unions Bldst
Johnston As Locking Cuts

Chicago IPA)-The AFL and
ClO packinghouse unions joined
March ID in accusing Economic
Stabilizer Eric Johnston Of lack Of
courage. Johnston the day before
had refused TO rule on an l1-cent
increase the two unions had nego-
tiated for 100000 workers. He said
only 3 cents Of the increase is per-
missible under the 10 percent wage
formula he ordered. Any decision
for an increase above that, said
Johnston, is up to the wage board.
And the board is not functioning
since the labor members resigned.
The CIO Packinghouse Workers
already have authorized a strike,
and set March 25 as a deadline.
The AFL Meatcutters are expected
to take similar action soon. Earl
w. Emerson, head Of the AFL
union, and Ralph Helstein, head Of
the CIO union, said the officers of
the two unions will confer early
next week "and at that time will
develop an affirmative program
which may mean closing down of
all meat-packing plants in the
country on March 26, 1851"
Patrick f. German, secretary
treasurer of the AFL union, said
Johnston's announcement "indi-
Gated clearly that he does not have
the courage to act in a critical sit
uation and that he deliberately
passed the ball in order to delay
and forestall any decisive conclus-
ion in a matter that requires i'm
mediate consideration"
Johnston, under the law, could
have approved the 11-cent increase,
just as he acted on his own when
he modified the 10 percent wage
ceiling to permit further increases
under escalator clauses in union
contracts.
Helstein said Johnston was using
the packing industry as a pawn
"in an attempt to force the United
Labor Policy Committee to accept
the conditions which industry is
seeking to dictate in the current
mobilization program" The indus

DR.. Graham
(Confianed From Page Ont)

Graham will head a newly created
Office Of Defense Manpower Ad-
ministration and it's 13 regional
offices. Also under him will be the
Bureau Of Employment Security
which handles the US Employment
Service and unemployment com
pensation. In addition, he will head
a departmental manpower advisory
committee consisting of represent
atives Of labor, agriculture and
management. The Employment
Service recruits defense workers.
The advisory committee works with
local groups.
Where Graham may be able to
hold a checkrein on Wilson is at
the regional and local level. The
regional directors Of the Bureau of
Employment Security will also be
regional directors Of Graham's De-
fense Manpower Administration
and regional contracts for Flem-
ming's Manpower Policy Commit
tee. But whether the Graham ap-
pointment in itself was top-level
move to restrain Wilson remained
a mystery. 1t looked as if basic
policy-making authority was still
in Wilson's hands.
Graham was a member Of the
National Defense Mediation Board
in 1941-42 and Of the War Labor
Board from 1912 to 1945. He was
appointed to a Senate vacancy in
1949, but was defeated for the
Democratic nomination in the 1850
primaries. Despite wide labor and
liberal backing, he lost a runoff

Ruin In Postal Rdte Boost

L washington (LfA) - PROPOSED
increases in postal rates 'woulo
sound the death knell Of a very
high percentage Of religious pub
lications." SO declared DR.. Daniel
A. Polling March 15 before the
House Post Office committee
which is considering a bill which
would double rates for second
class mail in the next three years.
Polling, editor of Christian Her
aid magazine, served as spokes-
man for the Cooperative Commit
tee for Religious Publications. He
said the religious press, which now
gets a special rate of 112 cents a
pound, is leading the fight against
communism, so that any increase
now would be poor timing"
Rep. Harold C. Hagen Or, Mimi
said he would seek to amend the
bill to exempt religious publica-
tions from the increase. The bill
calls for a so percent boost now,
and 25 percent more in each of the
following two years.
Spokesman for other newspapers
and magazines also pleaded that
the increase will seriously under
mine their industry. They suggest
ed increases Of 10 percent now and
additional boosts in the following
two years.
Publishers of large national
magazines opposed any increase on
the grounds that their publications
more than pay their own way
through the mails because they are
charged two rates, zone rate on
advertising matter and another
rate on editorial material. Ben
jamin Begin, vice-president of
Conde Mast Publications, Inc.
which puts out such publications
as Vogue, House and Garden, and
Glamour, said the increased postal
rates would yield less revenue to
the government because publishers
would have their income taxes re-
duced as a result of higher business
costs.
The Post Office Department
says the increase would produce
$40 million toward reducing the
present $500 million postal operat-
ing deficit.
Charles E. Sweet of Capper
Publications told the committee he
doubts any popular demand for
eliminating the postal deficit. Cap
per operates 10 daily, weekly, and
farm publications in Kansas, Miss
ouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Mich
igan.
Said Sweet, "The only kicks |
have heard about the postal service

under suspicious circumstances.
Contreras is now reported in
Trieste, as Communist chief, under
the name of Vittorio Vidal. In
1912 Tresca denounced Contreras
in his journal II Martello (The
Hammer). A few days before he
was murdered, he told friends Con-
treras was in New York.
Thomas told the Kefauver COM
mittee that Tresca, who had also
fought the Fascists, might have
been marked for death by Musso-
lini.
In connection with the Tresca
case, Thomas urged the Kefauver
committee to investigate the disap-
pearance in 1887 Of Juliet Stuart
Poyntz, former Soviet secret agent,
who had turned against the Soviet
Union. Tresca testified before a
US grand jury in 1888 that Miss
Poyntz was kidnapped by Soviet
agent whom he named, and mur7
dered by others. He was assailed
in the Communist press as "a
police informer."
Gorkin, who collaborated in the
Gonzales book, is the co-author of
book on Trotsky's murder. He
was one of the founders of the
Spanish POUM, which split away
from the Communists. He has long
been a militant anti-Communist.

when ex-Sen. Bob Reynolds, third
man liz the first voting, threw his
support to Willis Smith. The cam
paign was marked by a vicious
smear attack on Graham.
In January Of this year, Graham
headed group which settled the
bitter dispute raging in the con
struction field in Alaska. Acting as
a "consultant" TO the Department
Of Interior, Graham negotiated
agreements yielding substantial in
creases for Alaskan building crafts
on defense projects minutes before
the Jan. 25 wage freeze was pro.
mulgated in Washington.

Labor Deeply
(Confingrd Fyom Page One)

Green said.
Before the withdrawal, labor's
top leadership concluded n t
"labor representation under the
present defense set-up would be
little more than window dressing
for the Vaccinations Of special in
terests," he told his radio audience.
"The meaning of labor's with
drawal from the defense agencies
is simply this-that labor will not
permit its good name to be used
as a cloak for reaction, or as a
mask for privilege. To do so would
constitute a breach of faith with
our membership and with the Am
erican people at large.
"Defense policies which place the
bulk of the plain citizenry of this
country in vicious trap between
rising prices, rising taxes, and
frozen wages, while the profits of
the few are permitted to multiply
unchecked, can only prove self-de-
feating. We cannot achieve max
imum strength under programs
which penalize and ALLEVIATE vital
segments of the population. Dis-I
content, dissatisfaction and sensel
of injustice among workers here asI
elsewhere are the surest breeding
ground for Communism. The ex-l
ternal threat of Communism can-l
not be overcome by methods which,
breed Communists here at home. u
Green insisted that labor asked /
no special privileges, but only
.anto = mobilization effort based
on common sense considerations
and carried out with an enlight-
ened understanding of the real
sources of strength in a democratic
society" This meant, he said, that
the burden must be spread as wide |
ly as possible with assurances that
"the heaviest portion is assigned
to the strongest, and the lightestl
to the weakest"
The AFL chief declared no group
had more at stake in the defenseI
of freedom than the trade union
movement. "The aim of labor is to |
secure the enjoyment of maxi
mum of freedom and democracy,
for that is the only environment in
which trade unions can thrive" he
observed. Continuing, he pointed
out that the AFL had fought Com
munism "to the four corners of the
earth" In this connection, he cited
the AFL's role in forming the In
ternational Confederation of Free
Trade Unions, in reviving free
labor in Japan, Germany and Italy
and in repeatedly offering labor's
support to the US government.
In the last analysis, Green said,
a free trade union movement is the
only force to which the world can
look for preservation and enhance
ment of basic democratic freedoms.
Samuel Gompers, the AFL's first
president, put it best in 1919,
Green recalled. SAID GomperS:
"Were there an American Fed
Grafton of Labor in Russia there
could have been no Bolshevism.
Were there no organized labor
movement in America devoted to
the ideals of liberty and right and
justice and unshaken in it's faith
in progress through the orderly
processes of democracy, there
would be Bolshevism in America.
If there should be in America anyl|
great denial of the just aspirations
of the working people as voiced by
their organized movement there
would be a dangerous flow toward
Bolshevism that would be neitherl
pleasant nor helpful for America"

which time he would be fired and
