Much Of the initial figuring and
planning for such an industry has
already been done by three mem
bers Of the Chambers Industry
Committee, formed in January
under the leadership of H. p.
Gazaway, market specialist for
the Alaska Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
At the committees first meet
ing Bob Webb, who operates a
slaughter house for Alaska beef
in Trainer, told the group that
Alaska market conditions are
ripe for immediate start Of q

out that meat-processing can be

Webb worked with AL Brooks,
John Deere representative, and
Bob Nichols, field man for the
Spring Greek Dairy Farm, to pre-

how it can be done. These fig

To Undercut the Deficit

The House Post ONCE Committee
has shown Congress the way to a sue
cessful frontal attack on the staggering
postal deficit. If postal rates are raised
across the boards as the committee has
recommended in fortnight report, the
annual half-billion -dollar-plus deficit OF
the postal service will be cut down to
reasonable size.
BY raising rates for first, second and
third class mail, the committee told the
House, 1882 million inroad can be made
the first year on the estimated fiscal
1858 deficit Of 1854 million. and, because
some of the rates would rise by annual
steps, the eventual increase In postal
revenues would amount to about S527
million year.
The committee majority showed
political courage in voting for the in
creases, for pressures against them came
from several powerful sources. We hope
the House will show comparable cour-
age-as 1t did last year-in meeting the
challenge Of the postal deficit and that
the Senate, which has been VIGOROUSLY
timid In facing the issue, will screw up
its courage and join the antidehcit forces.

Potomac Dom-Now

It Is becoming increasingly EVIDENT
that one or more dams and impounding
reservoirs must be built above Washing
tons main water supply intake at Great
Falls in order to assure the city and
nearby areas of SUFFICIENT water in times
Of drought. But any dam so constructed
should be designed primarily to control
the rivers fiow-not to provide hydro
electric power for the area. We hope
the Army engineers will keep the primary
Of possible dam and other control facili-
ties in the upper Potomac River.
The matter has come to the fore
again as a result of an address by Byron
Bird, chief engineer of the Washington
Engineer District, before the Interstate
Commission on the Potomac River Basin.
Mr.. Bird told the commission at its Staun-
ton, Virginia, meeting that a dam at
River Bend, about three miles above
Great Falls, is being considered as
means Of insuring the Nations Capital
against possible water shortage like
that of 1880. A repetition Of low-water
conditions such as then prevailed could
be disastrous, because Of the huge
increase III WdLCI requirements Ill ILlC
past n years.
The River Bend dam plan is not
new, by any means. 1t was included in
q multiple-dam program some years ago,
at which time the Army engineers found
that they had opened the floodgates
on q tide Of protests from farmers and
other property holders. The original dam
plan included power production along
with water conservation and flood con-
troll. The food of opposition grew to such
proportions that the plan was shelved
indefinitely.
Undoubtedly there will be renewed
opposition to any dams, for whatever
purpose, from some owners Of land which
would be submerged or deprecated by
such q project. But we think the i'm
portant thing to remember is what Mr..
Bird summarized in these words: "The
need for Potomac River storage Is here
now-not in the year 1880 or 200O."

this case is that all the daughters are
real princesSes- the supply of princes
appears to be on the short side. One of
the troubles, too, is that the princesses
range in age from II to % while the
available male royalty runs to younger
models. A couple Of the cases are par
ticularly worrisome, since the ranking
princesSeS of Denmark and Holland some
day will become queens in their own
right-clearly not a job to undertake
without man around the castle.
It is unfortunate that these real-life
Cinderellas are bound by tradition to
travel only the royal road to romance.
But If there is any way to make it all
come out happily, we'll wager that a
conference table of determined queen
mothers will find the solution.

FIFTY YEARS AGO IN THE STAR

Elkton, Md, had an exciting
night so years ago. In a story
from Wilmington, Del, on May
81. 1907. The Star reported:
"A daring attempt was made
to burn down the town of Elk
ton. Md, Is miles below Will
mington. late last night and
early this morning, fires being
started in three separate
places. at different hours, and
as a result the night was one
Of terror for the inhabitants.
The object is not known. but
robbery is suspected. and there
is a feeling among some of the
townspeople that a resident of
bad reputation had a hand in
the work. In each of the three
places where the fire was dis
covered surrounding buildings
were in danger. and as all are
in the heart Of the town, the
consequences would have been
ever more serious than they
were had the first fire not been
quickly discovered and a watch
kept after it was extinguished.
At each place much damage
was done. one Of the three
buildings being almost entirely
destroyed, but good work on
the part Of flremen and citi-
zens saved the adjoining prop
erty. !"

Speak Up on Zoninq

A considerable responsibility rests on
the citizens of Washington to get all the
facts on the table when the Zoning Com
mission opens hearings tomorrow on
revision of the city's outmoded coming
code. The general field to be covered in
these hearings is described elsewhere
In today'S Star.
Testimony on the rezoning proposals
Of consultant Harold Lewis will be loaded
with controversy. About this, we are
neither surprised nor particularly upset.
Zoning essentially involves restriction. II
the people being restricted failed to OBJ
ject, the natural inference would be that
the proposals were innocuous.
If the Zoning Commission could con-
clude that Mr.. Lewis program is all good
or, for that matter, all bad, the problem
Of what do with it would be relatively
simple. Clearly, that is not the case, and
there should be no disposition to consider
the Lewis revision program as something
to accept or discard. Mr.. Lewis was hired
to draw a complex set of regulations to
accomplish many purposes. This he has
done. If there are faults In degree, or
even in some of the basic restrictive
coming techniques he has used, they can
and should be corrected. This applies
also to the new coming map he proposes,
which must be considered hand-in-glove
with the regulations.
We have reservations about certain
Of the Lewis proposals, most notably those
requiring off-street parking and impos-
ing other controls in the central business
district. But it should not be an insuper-
able task to recognize both the practical
economics Of modern-day construction
and the desire to hold concentrations
Of employment and apartment living to
reasonable limits. And there are many
other attractive and, it seems to us, sem
sible provisions of the Lewis plan which
should draw solid support from citizen
groups.
AS yet, the Zoning Commission has
not mapped a course Of action leading
to adoption of a revised code after the
hearings are completed. Whatever steps
are taken, however. will be Influenced
greatly by the hearing record. So the time
to speak up Is now.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

The Nation is decidedly
Undetermined. No other sub
ject can bulge the budget
from top priority in the court
Of public debate. BY her free
enterprise system America has
reached a peak Of income truly
astronomical. There has been
nothing to approach it in all
the history Of the ages. In
spite Of all the jibes against
capitalism. 1t seems an eco
nomic miracle. In this grave
day the strength Of the United
States is the hope Of unnum-
bered millions whose poverty
and misery make them suscep-
tible to the deadly plague
called communism. Like vul-
lures this foul conspiracy
hovers over regions where
daily existence Is q grim battle
for bread and where disease
stalks with no balm for its
agony and death Is often o

cry, "Only American dollars

the spirit Of the good Samari-

her opulence has poured out
her amazing resources In an
effort to heal the open sores
Of afiiicted peoples, even to
the ends Of the earth. While
she thus serves out Of the In
herent goodness Of her heart.
1t is, Of course. true that to
give is enlightened self-inter-
est, for no nation liveth or
aileth to itself. None is safe
until all are safe.
But with the clamor for
assistance increasing with the
problems peoples face in the
revolution which is changing
the face Of the earth. America,
with her genuine humanitarian
impulses. is realizing that her
resources are not limitless, and
that to spend herself into col
lapse and bankruptcy would
be to betray her trusteeShip
and to play into Communist
hands. To maintain her own
strength and at the same time
to keep threatened nations on
their feet with fighting spirit.
America. as never before. must
scrutinize her capabilities and
ration her wealth for the
greatest good in this global
battle for the minds Of men.
That is what the battle Of the

President Unchanged
Consider all these facts
plus the fact that the country
is today more prosperous than
it ever was; that union labor
never had such high wages or
so vast employment; consider
that while, of course, there are
foreign situations that cause
concern, there are no wars in
volving American casualties
and American risks. Consider,
too, that the threats from
abroad are less frightening
and life generally in this
country more rewarding-con-
sidering all these things, does
it not seem silly to talk about
the most honest. truthful and
unselfishly dedicated President
and able soldier we have had
in a generation as though he
were a fool who did not under

is afraid to act like a man?
Yet. encouraged by a lot Of so
called liberal newspapers and
forward looking" writer's,
that is exactly what a lot Of
people who ought to know
better are now trying to do.
The fundamental fact to keep
in mind is that Mr.. Eisen-
hover is the same man he
was in 1852; that he has not
changed in his position on
issues one bit between then and
now; that he has been, and
IS now. being subjected to q
great deal Of abuse and mis-
representation-but that there
has been no real change in the
man. He is simple hearted but
not simple minded or inexperi-
enced. He is truthful, honest
and doing all he can; that he
does not think he is perfect
and that it is pretty lucky for
the country that in these
critical days he is at its head.

The efforts OF his critics TO
make the President seem a
weak and vacillating man I'M
able to make decisions and run
the Government appear to have
redoubled in the past two
weeks. Neither Mr.. Eisen-
hower's first nor second speech
defending his program, while
clear, candid and comprehen-
sive. seemed to lessen the fury
of the attack Of his foes. That
is the general picture now be-
ing painted of him and un-
doubtedly 1t has made some
impression. It is presented in
vague terms and in such gen.
eralities that 1t Is difficult to
answer.
Members Of his cabinet and
those close to him, personally
and oficially, know it is not a
true picture but there is very
little they can do about it. The
instruments and individuals
engaged in the spread Of these
false notions and the painting
of these false pictures are many
and varied. Extremely few Of
the individuals. agencies or in
struments can be accurately
characterized as disinterested
or unselfish. Nearly all the
individuals are well paid for
these efforts. The largest cost.
of course, is borne by the Dem
ocratic National Committee.
Broke though it is Operating
now under a deficit of more
than $600,000), it is still able
to finance its anti Eisenhower
activities in many ways.
Men at Work

that Paul Butler, chairman of

proximately $4,000 a year.
His former opposite number,

cepted no salary while he
served. 1t should further be
noted that the new editor Of
the Democratic Digest, is also
a high salaried man, as are
various others allied with the
Democratic Committee, whose
main business is to convey the
impression that the President
Of the United States is a man
