THAT "KINGFISH" BILL

Saturday afternoon, by vote of 16-8, the Terri torial House of Representatives passed HE 141- described as the Governmental Reorganization of the Twentieth Legislature. And reorganization cer- tainly, is a masterpiece of understatement.
 In the brief span of time required for a roll call those who voted for the bill turned the Territorial clock back to the time when shortly after the purchase of Alaska the Territory governed by the military the commanding officer being in effect, as much czar as was Alexander Baranof under the Russian regime
 So that the average voter may know something of the nature of this bill and be made of the manner in which the House handed Alaskas govern ment over to the Federal government, here few of the night lights of HB Al:
 Board of Administration is created consisting of the Governor President of the Senate Speaker of the House, Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Senate and Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House." The Governor acts Chairman of the Board and when in session, each member receives s45OO per day plus travel expenses
 The Board is empowered to appoint Comms- soner of Finance at salary mot to exceed s15000O0 the business of the Territory from purchasing five cent pencil for Territorial agency letting contracts for million dollar projects Exact wording of the bill follows!
 Sec IS. The terms supplies, materials, equipment and services used herein shall mean and include any and all articles and things, and all services other than personal used by furnished to- any agency of the Territorial Government including printing, bind ing publication of books and records repairs and inn provements, utility services and any and all other

DIVORCE CLEARS. WAY FOR MARRIAGE
 ROSS 55-R00SEVELT

KEY WEST. Fla, March 12 -IR- Mrs. Minnewa Bell Ross was di- vorced here today, clearing the way for her marriage to Elliott Roose- welt.
 The decree was signed by Circuit Judge Aqualino Lopez.
 Her divorce was from Dr. Rex L. Ross of Santa Monica, Calif, who in California action last year ac- cused her of touring the country with Roosevelt
 Roosevelt denied the charge, and Mrs. Ross declared she thought it ''horrid" of Ross to connect her name in this way to the late presi- dents son.
 It will be the fourth marriage for each.
 They have bought property to- gether at Marathon, in the Florida keys, and it has been stated defi- nitely that they will marry "as quickly as court procedure will permit"

these only when handed in in writ ing, in advance, and this system of written questions began through the same kind of boner as that which MT. Truman has occasionally been guilty of.
 During the Washington Arms Conference in 1921 President Har- ding. who then permitted oral questions, was asked whether the treaty banning Qualifications ap- piled to the Japanese mainland which, of course, included Japan csc Islands. He replied in the af- firmative. Whereupon the State department had to rewrite the entire treaty to clarify this issue. After that Harding permitted only questions in writing.

bassador George Allen, came from Belgrade to the Greek border to participate in a friendly ceremony with Greek officials and the U. S Consul at Salonika, Glenn Abbey The greatest contribution to people people friendship in the near East over a long period oi years has been supplied by Robert, College in Istanbul and the Ameri- can Farm School in Salonika, under Charles House. Both have turned cut thousands of youngsters who not only have improved their own country but have strengthened the friendship between the United States, Greece and Turkey. Wher- ever you go in the near East, you bump into Roberts College gradu- ates who are working for this bet ter understanding.

aside, however the net effect of the President's mercurial disposition is to give the rest of the world an impression of American unsteadi- ness and feeling that we are likely to fly off halfcocked This applies to press conferences just as much as Presidential letter. writ ing, as two cases will illustrate.
 A couple of weeks ago, MT. Tru- man was asked at a press confer ence whether the United Nations forces in Korea would cross the 38th parallel He replied that he was leaving this entirely up to General MacArthur. Now, it so happened that this was not true. But true or not, nothing he could have said could have injured our relations more with other U. N nations, for several reasons.
 First, they feel important poli- tical decisions of this kind involv- ing further embroglio with China and Russia are not up to the Am erican military commander but to the entire U. N. Second, both the French and the British repeat edly urged, requested and begged us not to go above the 38th paral- Tel prior to MacArthurs previous disastrous advance. Third, we are now demanding that Europe rearm under an American ground com mander. an American naval com mander and air commander. Un- fortunately, MT Truman's nasty press-conference statement makes them think twice about who would decide political matters regarding European defense.
 The other Truman press-confer- ence boner was his famous State- ment that we are considering drop ping the A-bomb on Korea which brought British Prime Minister Attlee hotfooting it to Washington.
 Questions Sometimes Loaded
 Most people don't remember that the three most recent Republican presidents refused to answer oral questions at press conferences and that it is only man of extraor- dinary versatility, such as Frank lin Roosevelt was, who can get away with it. Every week, as POO newsmen face the President, they come armed with questions which either they or their editors have concoeted on score of difficult, sometimes intricate, problems. Some are friendly, some are calculated to emoarrass, some merely want in- forma n. Presidents Coolidge and Hoover ound it wiser to answer

American Impact on Greece

You don't have to read the signs at the railroad stations to sense the difference between the Con- munist and Capitalist countries when you pass border in Europe. The minute you get into Greece from Communist Jugoslavia you can tell the difference in a dozen different ways-the availability of taXicabs, the speed of doing busi- ness, the vigor of the atmosphere Part of this is due to American money and American methods, which have had a terrific impact on Greece during the last three years. =. Greece now rates as one of the most efficient countries in Europe. Gen. Reuben Jenkins, former Georgia national guards man, deserves great credit for training the Greek army into an aggressive, compact fighting force which could throw 10 divisions into battle overnight with 10 more d. visions available in a week. .. Greek airways now cover the coun- try Whereas it once took days to get around Greece by boat, air planes now reach almost every cor ner in a matter of hours. Much of this enterprise is due to American aid and encouragement. U. s. Am- bassador Jack Peurifoy had a lot to do with persuading the Greek government to open it's border to Jugoslavia at Salonika, thus per- mitting American food shipments to enter by the shortest route. was on the first train from Greece into Jugoslavia carrying American food marking a new milestone in Jugoslay- Greek friendship.
