 We were then fortunate. The next time our luck may not hold. I sincerely hope that first, the Department of Defense is not planning decreased empha- sis in the building up of Alaska defenses, so vital to this nations security; second, trust that the bases on the Aleutians, which we are 50 fortunate as to possess, will not be abandoned. They are of utmost importance to us geo. graphically. In our hands, prop erly used and properly defend ed, they will serve to protect the United States in time of peace or war and in time of war could well be the fulcrum from which an offensive might be staged"

Gently, MIR. Merriken, whose
name has gotten around in
collectors circles, received a
phone call from James Mel
ton, who wants a nickelodeon
for his New York home.
The machines, which weigh
from 1900 to $500 pounds,
cost from $500 to $1,000.
Generally, they are in need
Of repair, and Mr.. Merriken
avoids this expense by put
ting in parts and fixing the
machines himself.
There Is only one man, so
far as Mr.. Merriken knows,
who cuts rolls for nickelodeons
and player-pianos now. But
he doesn't want for business.
The few commercial estab-
lishments throughout the
country which have installed
the old models have expert
enced a boom that keeps
orders rolling in.
Old rolls are scarce and
bring about $25 when they
are found. Mr.. Merriken has
so nickelodeon rolls and 1000
standard player-piano rolls,
many of which are recent
cuts. A few date back to
World War I.
His collection includes, too,
a player pipe organ-piano
which can be roller-played or
operated manually, and a
standard player-piano which
was known earlier as the
"parlor pump player"

Spending Figures
Are Released By
Dept. Commerce

/ WASHINGTON Rs-The nations

record total production worth some
s4s billion dollars, according to the
Department Of Commerce.
individuals spent mere for food
alone in 1852. the government re-
port said, than the total dollar
nation produced in any Of five
depression years 1885. However,
the depression dollar was more
valuable than the 1852 dollar.
Measured by the dollars pur.
chasing power in 1889, which the
department took as a yardstick,
the country's gross national pro-
duct in 1852 was nearly three times
what it was at the depression low
in 1888. The gross national product
is the total value of all goods and
services produced.
Without adjustment for the diff
ference in the purchasing power Of
the dollar before and after 1889.
the nations 1852 output was more
than six times that of 1898.
And, the Department Of Com
merce report released Tuesday
said, government spending in 1852.
without adjustment for the changed
dollar, was nearly 10 times what it
was in 1933-77h billion dollars in
1852 compared to somewhat less
than 8 billions in 1888.
National income reached $291. :
SOC, 0OO, 900 in 1852, a 5 per cent
advance over 1851. More than two
thirds of this was wages and sal
aries. And personal income was
S26s, 700 ,000, 900, a rise of 6 per
cent over 1851.
Like gross national product, ma
tional income and personal income
Spending by individuals also topped
all previous records.
