Price Controls Off Soft Drinks

JUNEAU - Price controls on
bottled soft drinks were suspend
ed this week by the Office of
Price Sterilization. The suspen-
sion is effective at all levels Of
distribution.
The action is in line wi t h
agency policy Of relaxing controls
wherever possible, consistent with
the purpose Of the Defense Pro-
duction Act.
The OPS explained that a ma
jority Of all soft drinks are now
selling below ceilings.
The suspension does not, how
ever, apply to drinks by the glass
in restaurants, fountains, bars or
other similar places, the OPS said.

the second period with some spec

hold an 1917 count at halftime.
In the third quarter they increas-

to have the Manipulating Nanooks

some sharp shooting and his
board work, the local boys gained
a 25-17 advantage over their arch
rivals During the final period,
both teams played on an even
keel as Nome took the second
game 1926.
This sweep Of the two games
by Coach Hahn's boys gave Nome
the best out OF three games played
against the Moose. Palmer de-
feated Nome last spring over at

Robert Summers was high point

Secretary of the Interior
Oscar Chapman has expressed
his qualification for the giftto

he said:
"It would be a happy privi-
lege if I could be with you in
person at the ceremonies re-
ceiving the beautiful and
generous gift of furnishings
for Government House from
the Government of Denmark.
I deeply regret that l cannot
join you, but I ask that you
express to His Excellency the
Ambassador of Denmark and
to the people Of St. Croix the
deep qualification of the adj
ministration at this new evil
dence of the friendship and
esteem which unites the peo-
plies of our two nations.
ITO the people of the Virgin
Islands this beautiful gift
symbolic of this friendship and
of their past relations to the
Danish people will be a per-
petual reminder Of t h e r
historic past and to the
thousands Of their fellow
Americans who will visit Gov

constant symbol of the peace
full and friendly relations of

Virqinio's S Warning

The vote to recess rather than adjourn the
Virginia State Democratic Convention and to
empower the State Central Committee to call
the delegates back into session after the Chicago
convention was taken in routine fashion. No
threats were uttered and no flags Of revolt were
unfurled. But the significance Of the move win
not be lost upon the top-fiight Democratic policy
makers.
It is clearly warning that Virginia may bolt
the party If the national convention adopts
civil rights plank with teeth in it. What form
such bolt might take, however, is an open
question.
In his Atlanta speech last summer Senator
Byrd denounced the Truman administration In
yirulent fashion. He did not come right out and
advocate bolt by the South If its minimum
conditions on the civil rights issue are not met
but his language was strong enough to indicate
that this was what he had In mind. Since
then, his hand has been strengthened by the
recent State primary, in which the Senator
defeated Fair Deal sympathizer by more than
$1,000 votes.

Alody Forever

A thousand years Is long time.
Forever Is longer. From the pinnacle
Of any day prophesies regarding the
future are rather hazardous and SUBJ
ject to change. The record Of Adolph
Hitler's voice screaming at multitudeS,
boasting that the despotism he had
founded would live for thousand years,
sounds rather ludicrous now. But in
Isaiah's Old Testament prophecy there
is record which claims forever as
its domain.
In this ancient album is a full length
picture Of arrogant pride. It is the
pride that goeth before a fall. Pride
has been the drum major parading be-
fore every fall in history. Toynbee,
in a searching analysis tracing the
rise and fall of succeeding systems, gives
q resume Of 10 civilizations, from the
beginning of recorded history until now,
which have decayed from within. One
Of the most glittering of these is
glimpsed In this old prophecy. Great
Babylon is speaking. She is pictured
as proud. aristocratic lady. begemmed,
perfumed, elegantly dressed In royal
garments which fash and flame with
splendor. She is seated on a luxurious
throne of power with the world making
obeisance to her recognized might.
There is complacent and self -aSsured
smile upon the royal countenance, for
the dowager Babylon is supreme and
secure. Others who have reached ped
estals Of comparable magnif1cence have
not been wise enough to protect their
sovereignty from sabotage from within
and without. Not so Babylon. She
holds policy of perpetual insurance!
She Is here to stay! Her kingdom is
to know no endl In her utter assurance
Of the present and Of the future, she
blandly announces to the world: II shall
be lady forever!" But, forever is

your delusion while you may. For you.

Since Babylon declared. II shall be q
lady forever" the long centuries have
gone. But what of her bedecked ma
jesty who thought she had found the
secret Of perpetual power? What does
history have to say of the vast empire
which declared with such certainty. II
shall be a lady forever? Any encyclo-
pedia can answer that question. Page
after page is given to the post-mortem
report. The desolate mounds Of that
Eastern land. under which the remains
Of the LADY" have been buried for
many generations. speak from the
ground to those who have inherited the
earth and contend for its mastery in

discourage third-party movement in Virginia
this year. One is the fact that the State did
not join the Southern revolt in 1948. A Dixiecrat
ticket was entered, but Mr.. Truman carried the
State Another factor is the nomination of Cen
eral Eisenhower by the Republicans. He has a
strong popular following in Virginia, and might
well carry the State against Fair Deal Demo-
cratic candidate. He would almost certainly
carry it if the Democratic vote split between
the regular-party ticket and third-party slate.
1t is conceivable that the leaders of the
Democratic organization in Virginia would not
be too unhappy to see an Eisenhower victory.
Senator Byrd, at least is one Of the generals
open admirers. But If the Southern leaders are
really aiming at stronger position within the
Democratic Party, 1t is hard to see how an
Eisenhower triumph in Virginia would serve that
end. Yet that is apt to be the result of bolt
from the party by Virginia's Democrats.

Soon after the dawn of this century
Great Britain celebrated with pomp

Of the empire on which "the sun never

peoples under one flag the world has
ever seen. The one theme was England
and her greatness. Every aspect of the
celebration seemed to be shouting
through megaphone. II will be a lady

this jubilee, that Rudyard Kipling wrote
his 'Recessional." when all others were

shocked England and doubtless cost the
author the honor Of ever being poet

assumptions that that empire would be
