CONSER NATION
 NOTES
Lew Hanks

have been told that the wood chipper ordered by the Palmer Soil Conservation Sub-district through the Alaska Rural Rehab- ilitation Corporation is on it's way. It is the plan of the Super visors to put this machine out on a rental basis to chip wood for stock bedding. This should be help for dairymen. Straw is too scarce and valuable for feed to be used for this purpose. Saw dust is mighty hard to get this time of the year. Under loafing- shed set-up, stock take less time to care for, but it also takes about four times the bedding.
 In proportion to the large in- crease in stock the last few years, the acreage planted to grain has decreased. It just doesn't pay to raise grain if you are short on forage or pasture land. Brome seedlings for hay enable us to almost double our previous ton mage, but even that does not take care of our stock needs. Our land clearing program is geared more to our ready cash than our needs. In all, it looks like a continued shortage of grain and straw. We hope the wood chipper will fill a definite need in the Valley.
 The Soil Conservation Service has a land leveler which can be used for some demonstration work on land smoothing prior to establishing of improved pas lures. It pays any time to get your land in shape before seed ing grass. If you seed rough, field and get a good stand, you can figure on fighting those humps, holes and dead furrows for long time to come. It's not worth it and also makes for poor pasture management. You want to look those fields over carefully, otherwise you'll be sorry.

The University of Alaska has just received from the Directors of the Lathrop Corporation a check for $6,0O0 as it's initial con- tribution toward setting up the Lathrop Scholarship Fund at the University.

Lath- rop was always a helpful friend of the University Not only as Regent of the University but as just plain Gap Lathrop. His great heart and synpathies were always with the ambitious young people in the Territory who were trying to get an education so that they could make a full contribu- ton to society," During 4his life time he made Alaska better country in which to live. In his will he left a block of Lathrop Company stock to the University of Alaska for this scholarship.

Serious Slump Is Foreseen, If Not In 1854 Then Later

WASHINGTON, R-A serious slump in demand for such durable items as autos, appliances and machinery will come in a few years whether or not we have one in 1954," the American Ec- onomic Assn. was told today.
 Albert Gail0rd Hart, Columbia University economist and former treasury consulant, made the pre- diction and said the government should move to hold any reces- sion within moderate bounds.
 What should worry us is not the possibility of a recession - which is normal - but the fact that we have so little in reserve to deal with one," Hart said.
 Meanwhile, Dr. William J. Fell ner of Yale University told the economists annual meeting that measures developed to cope with depresSions will lead to a smooth CT pattern of -and-dOWn econ omic cycles than the country ex- perienced before World War II.
 Dr. Fellner said inflationary pressures are created by "the greater political influence of per sons belonging in the relatively low income groups" and by the ability of relatively overproduc- ing" industries to obtain govern ment subsidies.
 He cautioned that the govern ment might go too far in warding off deflation and might attempt to prevent "even moderate fluctua- tions in employment"
 Hart suggested that the lob vious remedy" for recession is taxcutting to give people more money to spend.

 He called for strong ties with the United States and declared that relations with friendly Asian nations must be frightened to meet common problems.
 "But," he warned Ito the lead CTS of the Communist conspiracy who would deliver this country and it's people to a foreign power, this I say:
 T shall use all the forces at my command to the end that the sovereign authority of the gov ernment shall be respected and maintained. There can be no compromise with disloyalty."

Feudin' Continues Between Juneau And Anchorage

ANCHORAGE, R- The shoot ing continued Tuesday in the Re publican feudin' between Anchor age and Juneau.
 Walter J. Hickel, president of the Anchorage Republican Club, fired back at Sen. Elton Engstrom, the territorial Republican chair man, of Juneau.
 Engstrom, a day earlier, con- tended the Anchorage Republican group had been 'dictatorial'' in the way it sought meeting with Governor Heintzleman in An chorage.
 Hickel commented:
 "We have no quarrel with Sen. Engstrom. As far as being dic- tatorial, as per the senator's quote we are only asking for little representation for 5O,O0O people. After all, Juneau with just 1000 or 5000 people should be satisfied with both top territorial posi- tions"
 The references were to the gov ernorship and the secretaryship of Alaska. The latter post is filled by Waino Hendrickson, former Juneau mayor and legislator. Both positions are filled by federal ap- pointment.

LOS ANGELES, R- The flu ture of Americas whaling indus try lies in convincing the public that whale steak is as tasty as beefsteak, the Western Society of NaturalistS was told at Los An geles today.

South Opposes Plan to Relieve 

WASHINGTON, R-An Eisen- hover administration plan for funneling more government de- fense work into areas of large unemployment ran into barrage of heavy criticism from southern Democrats today, foreshadowing verbal fireworks when Congress meets next week.
 Sen. Maybank O-SC) accused President Eisenhower of turning his back on his campaign pro mises. Sens. Sparkman O-Ala and Hill O-Al0 said the program, set forth again yesterday at the Little White House at Augusta, Ga, violated pledges made by the COP leadership in the Senate last July.
 And Sparkman declared it is not true, as presidential press secretary James c. Hagerty said, This is the first time a national administration has tried to do something about chronic region al unemployment.
 Sparkman said the Truman ad- miniStration had a positive and definite program" for putting de- fense contracts into areas of labor surplus.
 In Augusta, Hagerty declined to comment further when asked about an official policy of the Truman administration, put into effect in 1852, to award defense contracts to other than the low bidders in an effort to counter unemplo. o.Fment in some areas.
 In it's Essentials, the policy is similar to that of the Truman ad- ministration, abandoned last Aug ust, to give preference in the award of defense contracts to areas where there is considerable unemployment.
 Most criticism of it in the past has come from southerners who argued that it would rob their textile mills, for example, of gov- ernment business which would be steered to New England.
