of opinion to appear in other

address at the Air War College

He made that coment after
saying there are those who seek
a magic formula to remove all
differences of poinion and who
advocate such things as com
plete unification,' placing every
one in the same uniform, a single
chief of staff, or similar ideas"
Mr.. Wilson referred indirectly
to recent reports of pickering be-
tween Army and Air Force staff
Officers in Washington, as part of
which some newspapers received
Army staff reports critical of
claims of Air Force superiority.
He said the situation sis not
as black as it has been painted. "
Mr.. Wilson spoke out against
any high level effort to suppress

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (Pl. -
Joe Price got a telephone call
late at night asking him to come
downtown and open his television
repair shop. He found two very
tired men and a heavy TV set
they had carried for almost a
mile.
One of them explained they
had brought the ailing set in a
car to the outskirts of town and
stopped because the auto had no
license. Then they lugged the
set on foot. And they phoned
Price because they didn't want
to lug the set back to the car.

Mr.. Carroll had built his house
across the proposed New Jersey
avenue. Maj. L'Enfant retaliated
with an attempt to tear the
house down under the cover Of

fant's plans were upheld and MIR.
Carroll moved his house to the

that John Wilkes Booth fled after
the Ford Theater shooting.
Group Formed in 1897
The citizens association dates
its formal origin, however, about
the turn of the century. On a
July night in 1907 a group of
southeast residents met in We'll
ler's Hall, Eighth and streets
Sc, to form what they then
called the Southeast Washington
Citizens Association. Several
years ago. in order to avoid con-
fusion with groups across the
Anacostia River, they changed
their name to the present Capt.
tol Hill Southeast.
The citizens chose August G.
Hermann as their first president.
Often called the Mayor of

manned in the Office of president
until 1882 when i'll health forced
him to retire.
While this was the first time
the Southeast citizens had Of
Ificially banded together as a
group. for many years residents
had sought for improvements in
its area, a triangle formed by
East Capitol and South Capitol
streets and the Anacostia River.
One of the first of these was
Michael I. Weller who came to-
Washington from England in
1857. After settling on Capitol
Hill he became active in civic
affairs and was instrumental
in securing many improvements
Tor the area. Foremost of these
are the building of the bridge
at the end of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. Sc. which was burned by
the British in 1914. He also
worked to get the Virginia Ave-
niue playground, the first in
Southeast.
Backed Many Projects
Among the many projects
backed by the group over the
years was the reclamation of
Anacostia Flats, creation Of a
new vocational school, establish
ment of a police boys club in
the area. self-rule for the Dis
ltrict. 1t hasn't obtained home
rule.
The present day group strives
to preserve the Eighteenth Gen.
tury atmosphere of the Hill. At
tempts to move public housing
closer to the area have met with
vigorous counter thrusts. In one
case they carried their protest
of a parking lot near the Capitol
to the Supreme Court.
Calling their area The Front
Door to the Nations Capitol"
the group each year wages a
cleanup campaign. Everyone in
the area is asked to take part
in some phase of identifying the
Hill"
But how long the group can
withstand the encroachments Of
an expanding seat of Govern
ment at their back door. no one
knows.

Scoop? TV Guide will claim In
its next issue that a demand foI
a $4,000 a week salary, plus in
sistance on costar billing led
to the split between Nanette
Fabray and Sid Caesar. :. The
article also says that "the pair
have ben repeatedly tifflng be-
hind the scenes for some time. ~
Insiders point out" the story
continues, that she has been
unhappy because Sid on occasion
did not give her enough musi-
cal numbers to perform, limit
ling her efforts on some shows
to one or two sketches"
(What did the "insiders" say
she wanted to do-play a duet
with Earl Wiid?)
The story doesn't add up-but
lit carefully provides another
version by quoting an NBC ex-
ecutive who observed that Gaze
sar was paying Miss Fabray S.
1000 a week when her agents
demanded more" (That makes
the argument between tn c
agents and producer Caesar.)
The inside story?
It's the oldest show-biz story
of all.
Mans agents have convinced
her that the right move for
her-careerwise and financially
is to strike out on her own.

ing that's important on that
show is whom Sid Caesar

I think her agents are right
on the money part. by the way.
At least for a season. She's
bound to make more, especially
if the agents are holding back
on a movie offer or two.
The effect on her career is
something else again. And If she
makes it big, Nan has already
made it rather plain. She owes
lit all to Sid. And she seems to
have as much trouble convincing

to sustain a high price. In Alaska We do it in reverse to keep the price at a low level. We do know that this policy during the past two years has forced several Alaskan loggers into some sort of receiver ship with a total liability of all most half million dollars. If the price of logs is not improved, even more loggers will go under this coming summer. This situation means that our workers, our mer- chants and our Territorial Tax De partment will be the losers. It seems basic to me that unless we get a good price for our raw re- sources the country does not pros per. We know that this is true in regard to fish and it should be true with logs, ore or any other product

BOOK EXHIBIT AT LIBRARY UNTIL MAY II

Parents, artists, teen-agers, and all lovers of fine books will be in- terested in the book exhibit being shown at the Wrangell Public Lib- rary until May II.
 The books are largely pre- publi- cation copies sent to the Depart ment of Library Service by the leading publishers of the United States. They are gift to the De- pertinent and will be sent to all of the community libraries of Alas ka for examination. After the col lection has made the circle of the Territory the books will be used in the newly established travelling H. brary program set up by the De- partment of Library Service to bring books to isolated areas.
 Miss Dorothy Phelps, head of the DIS, says of the collection: They include large number of child ren's books illustrated by outstand- ing artists of today Parents inter- ested in building a library of good books for their children will well come this chance to examine a large number of the best books be- ing published for children. Teen agers, too, will find many things to interest them. There is a grow ing group of good writers writing for the young adults and the pub fishers have included many of their books. Artists will find this a won derful chance to see a collection of the work of our leading illustrat- ors."
 She expressed gratitude to the publishers for their interest in the libraries of Alaska and for their generous response to our request for book exhibits.

Many corporations are being form in the Territory providing oppor- unity for investment, according to John A. Mckinney, Territorial Dir ector of Finance. Some of these are definitely speculative and should be studied carefully by prospective investors, he said. Issuance of a Certificate of Incorporation by the Department of Finance is not guarantee of the soundness of the investment, he added.
 The present laws of the Terri tory do not regulate the sale of stock or other securities. People are cautioned to study the csfer- ings carefully before making an investment.

 Gentlemen:
 Norman Banfield, attorney for the pulp mill, has described me as the front man" for the loggsrs and has credited me with being the originator of the idea of a recent plan to export logs. Neither state- ment is true but do appreciate the publicity and notoriety. I was dis appointed that the Juneau Chamber of Commerce took such hasty ac- tiOn.
 This is probably as good a time as any to reevaluate the long-stand- ing policy regarding export of logs. It could be that the policy was sold to us initia-ly by timber owners :n Washington and Oregon who didn't want competition from Alaskan logs. It could be that we are being sold this continued policy by pres ent and potential log buyers. The Tongass Forest has about so billion feet of standing timber. The experts tell us that we can harvest this timber at almost a bil- lion feet year on an annual yield basis; that the forest is overripe and that the timber that isn't har- vested is going to waste This has value of 30 million dollars a year. This means that we are currently wasting 22 F million dollars a year as bait for additional pulp mills. It | is somewhat different from the De- partment of Agricultural policy in the United States whereby a sur plus is bought and stored in order
