THE REAL MOTIVE

Why was strike forced upon us at this time?
There is only one reaSOn-aS part of the fight
for S43OOOOOO
One or more of the contending manipulators
decided that strike would further their own
personal aims.
A strike will divert attention from the financial
skulduggery involved in the scramble for the
$43OOO,OOO.
A strike a0H give the Company chance to
blame the Union for its ooVm shortcomings:
to blame the Union for the abandonment of
the communities vhere the S43OOOOOO sVas
earned.
A strike may even serve as excuse for the
liquidation of the whole American Woolen
Company-in which case there would be even
more than $43,OOO,OOO to divided among the
eager mOrticians.
For strike, unfortunately, is always Page l
news; while the really significant contest, the
$43OOOOOO contest, to decide the company's
fate, has been buried in the financial pages.

A MORAL OUTRAGE

This strike is not a dispute between the Com.
pany and the Union. 1t is part of huge
financial manipulation.
This strike is moral outrage, for which
the American WOOlem Company is uvhOAy
responsible.
We haze offered, time and again. to submit
the entire cage issue to impartial arbitration.
This offer still stands.
Such an arbitration should be conducted
regardless of who ultimately wins control of
the company; for the ownership of the $4,000.
600 has no bearing on what wages should be.
Nearly all the other companies in the woolen
and worsted industry-Forstmann Botany,
Stroock, and scores of smaller ones-have
already agreed to submit wages to arbitration.
Indeed, if American Woolen's interim manage.
ment felt too distracted to conduct a case of
it's own, it could agree to follow the pattern
set in other decisions.
But, this would not suit the purposes of the
men whose only concern is $43,OOO,OOO.
is ANY SUM, EVEN $43,OOO,O ,OO0-WORTH
SUCH CALLOUS AND CONSCIENCE.
LESS TREATMENT OF HUMAN BEINGS?

Explorers Enjoy
 Two.Day Eneampment Al EImendorf AFB

Fifteen Palmer Explorer Scouts and two leaders attended the tWo-day explorer air encamp- ment at Elmendorf Air Base this past week end.
 Highlight of the encampment was a two and one-half hour flight in a giant C-124 Globemast- CT during which the 133 district Explorers who attended the en- campment and their leaders were flown to the Kenai area twice, and circled the entire Anchorage area. Although the plane flew to the Palmer Wasilla area, clouds and fog prevented the boys from seeing their home towns from the air.
 During their visit to the air base the scouts were given training ln navigation, weather, ground and air safety, jet engines, type ot alrcrafts, received flight or ientation and each boy had a turn at the controls of a link trainer.
 Scouts were present from Pal mer, Wasilla, Fort Richardson, Anchorage, Elmendorf, Seward, Whittier, Cordova and Valdez. The program was carried out un- der the direction of First Lieuten- ant Robert w. Hamilton, mem- Der of the 64th fighter interceptor squadron who acted as explorer scout liason officer for the en- campment.

that 'seyery woman, every child,

! "One Of the phenomena OF
war is how easily panic can
overtake humans, when they
! have rot been prepared for some

He also noted that Americans

IF war ever comes, the value
