policy. But the desired goal can
only be achieved through cooper
alton on the part Of government
and business and industry.
The purpose of the conference
was to acquaint the leaders of in
dustry with the responsibilities of
both management and government
in enforcement of the non-discrim-
ination clause in contracts with the
federal government.
The meeting was in the nature
of workshop conference and was
also addressed by William P. Rog-
ers, deputy attorney general; Geo.
B. McKibbin, general services ad-
ministration; and presided over by
James c. Worthy, assistant secre-
tary of commerce.
Rogers discussed the what,
Why And How" of the non-dis-
elimination program.
The what" he said, simply
means that "the government re-
quires in all its contracts a clause
whereby contractors agree not to
discriminate against any employee
or applicant because of race, re-
ligion, color or national origin
Those who do business with the
government must provide equality
of opportunity in employment for
all Americans"
In stating why this must be
done, he accomplished the fact
that America has no manpower
surplus; therefore, it is imperative
that the abilities of all the people
be utilized to the fullest capacity
if America hopes to have a strong
and healthy economy.
In stressing chow" this could be
done, he said that industry has
but to comply with the non-dis-
criminatory clause in the contracts
between government and business
which it is assured that both sides
agreed to in good faith.
With the assistance of industrial
leaders, he concluded, there is
every reason to believe that we
can obtain our common objective

Alaska Food Prices Decline Since 1854 Retail Survey Shows

Alaskan retail food prices have declined since June, 1854, say economists at the Alaska Agri- cultural Experiment Station and they are more likely to de- cline than to increase during the next few months.
 Sample prices for the quarter ly Alaskan retail food price sur vey were obtained from three to six stores in each of six cities
 Ketchikan, Sitka, Juneau, An chorage, Palmer, and Fairbanks and comparisons with Seattle retail prices were made for 25 food items.
 These items could have been purchased in Seattle for $9.84 but would have cost $12.75 in Ketchikan, $13.46 in Sitka, $13.10 in Juneau, $14.10 in Anchorage, $13.58 in Palmer and $16.O1 in Fairbanks. Seattle food prices are normally somewhat higher than those of other major U. s. cities surveyed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
 Information for the quarterly retail food price survey is gath cred by volunteers from Terri torial and Federal agency staffs in the six cities and local stores participate on a voluntary basis. The figures are analysed and reported by economists at the All aska Agricultural Experiment
