Changing Capital Expensive Project kodiakans Told

Moving the capital from Juneau would not only create confusion, but could destroy the credit of the state of Alaska" two businessmen from that city, Marshall Erwin and Wayne Johnson told a meeting of Kodiak residents, Wednesday eve ming at the council chamber of the city hall.
 Erwin said the costs are too large Cat least $150,O0O,OO0) for such a small population (less than Ia coma, Washington, and it could endanger the bonding capacity of the state as well as municipalities.
 State government costs will also rise if the capital would be moved to Western Alaska necessitating a five to seven per cent wage differ ential in all personnel classified tion.
 The Juneau men challenged the accessibility of such an area 30 miles from Anchorage which could call for expensive roads, airport construction and other projects to the capital building.
 The state of Alaska needs that $150,000,00O for education, roads and many other projects more than to set up the capital in an isolated spot, they concluded.

Childish Prank Close To Fatal

A childish prank"-childish in only one respect caused a near fatal mishap on Pillar mountain late Sunday night when N. E. Din widdie, employe at the White Alice project atop the mountain, was blinded by lights forcing his car off the road.
 Dinwiddie, enroute to work, rounded a corner and at that mo- ment lights from a parked car were flashed into his face, blinding him and forcing him over the embank- ment. The car which flashed on the lights meanwhile sped away.
 Dinwiddie incurred a cut leg but the injury could have been fatal.
 Two mishaps were reported Wednesday-one a Kodiak teacher ran car into ditch after striking rock, and a pickup overturned on Mission Road. There were no serious injuries.

 AGE BY REDS NOT INTENTION AL" reads a front page headline in the Oct. 18th Anchorage Daily Times. The story goes on to state that Harrington docs not believe Soviet fishermen operating off Ko- diak Island deliberately destroyed American crab pots
 Said Harrington: "It is my belief the Soviet Union will cooperate. " After thinking this statement over deeply and taking into considera- ton the halfhearted approach made by the federal state depart ment in this matter it just might be considered an encouraging re- mark at that after all, who could speak more authOritatively as to just what the Soviet Unions reactions might bel
 We are, however, quite hopeful that somebody on our side might encouragingly say: Tt is my belief the United States will cooperate with us" So far the federal state has yet to make for nal protest to the Soviet govern ment- It may be that the striped pants eggheads in DC. are worried about the Soviet Russian good re- lationsp
 However a bit more on the en- couraging side is the report, in the same article, that Harrington added that the United States will not permit American fishermen to be crowded out of their fish cries" The only thing ironic about him saying that is the fact that while he was here in Kodiak at the hearings most every fisherman there testified to the effect that they had already, as matter of fact, been driven off their fishery at Two Headed Islandl
 He simply ignored such testi- mony just as he is ignoring the rest of what our fishermen said so that he, and apparently he alone, could arrive at conclusion nobody else arrived at. Most certainly he didn't allow the facts as presented by our fishermen to interfere in any way whatever with the preconceived conclusion, undoubtedly arrived at in advance in Washington, that he has released to the public.
 As one fisherman stated after reading the Anchorage article: Sounds like maybe they figure on filing formal apology with the Russian government for our boys

Eden Relates
IhWdrfing Of
Peace Plan

LONDON, Nov. II (AP).--A
new book by the Earl of Avon
formerly Prime Minister Sir
Anthony Eden-bitterly assails
the late Neville Chamberlain
for thwarting British American
understanding in 1888 which
Eden says could have averted
World War II.
Breaking a 24-year silence
on the subjeA, Eden tells the
full story of his resignation as
foreign secretary in the Cham
berlain government 18 months
before Hitler attacked Poland.
Eden's memoirs, entitle d
Facing the Dictators" and
published tomorrow by Cassel
and Co.. provide the most COM
prehensive account of interna-
tional affairs in the 1905 writ
ten by a leading participant.
Fundamental Difference
Essentially, the Eden break
with Chamberlain at so crucial
a period came because they
differed fundamentally as to
how to deal with Germany,
Italy and Japan. Eden wrote:
"He (Chamberlain) believed
the dictators to be anxious for
genuine agreements and him.
self to be the only man who
could negotiate them I
strongly doubted whether either
Hitler or Mussolini was in any
way interested in coming to
worthwhile terms with us and
I wanted to strengthen our
hand by. every means, amongst
which closer Anglo-American
relations had a first place."
The immediate dispute that
compelled Edens' sensational
resignation in 1888 was Cham
berlain's readiness to recognize
Italy's conquest of Ethiopia.
But Eden discloses for the
first time that he wanted to
quit a monthNearlier-in Janu-
airy 1938-when Chamberlain
stymied a project by the late
President Roosevelt to curb die
tator nations.
British Support Vital
Roosevelt had wanted to line
America alongside Britain in the
project. He had initiated ar
rangements for British-Ameri-
can naval cooperation in the
Far East as the threat of
Japanese expanSionism devel-
oped.
His plan was to appeal for a
concerted worldwide attempt
to restore International stand
ards, to slow down the arms
race, to redefine the rules of
war, and to reconsider some of
the post-World War I settle
mentS.
Eden said he rushed back
from a vacation to find that,
without consulting him, Cham
berlain had cold : shouldered
the idea in a message to Roose-
welt and all Eden's efforts to
retrieve the situation failed.

By THOMAS COLLINS

OLD Man John Jones was
a shrewd fellow. Everybody
knew that. When he retired
from the bank he had all his
money in farms, and with
his retirement he turned his
whole attention to manag-
ing them.
He had a proper little wife
who was his same age Of Sc,
and four married children
ranging in age from 80 to A.
There were those who said
his farms were worth
100000.
But Old Man Jones got to
age SO. then three months
beyond 1t. and then he died.
Old Man Jim Smith had
been his lawyer all these
many years, and when the
funeral was over Mr.. Smith
read the will he had helped
Mr.. Jones prepare.
Mr.. Jones allowed, accord
ing TO the will, that the farms
had been good TO him and
Mrs. Jones and that they
would be good TO the four
children. Whereas. Mr.. Jones
decreed that the farms would
be kept intact, that the in
come from them would go TO
Mrs. Jones until she dies.
Thereafter the four children
would be equal owners and
would equally share the In
come.
Since the farms we're found
TO be worth about $4,000
instead OF the reputed $780,
900, and had been netting
between 4 and 5 per cent.
this meant that each child
would get about 81 500 a year.
Since there was enough other
property TO take care Of taxes
and leave the farms intact,
everything was set.
But II was In 1857 that
Mr.. Jones died, and in 1858
that his wife followed him.
AT that time six OF the Jones
grandchildren has grown up
and married, and OF the six
one had had the marriage
annulled, a second was suing
for divorce and a third was
back home with mother and
pouting.

Spraying Breeds Tougher Insects
BY RACHEL CARSON

To have risked so much in
our efforts to mold nature to
our satisfaction and yet to have
failed in achieving our goal
would indeed be the final irony.
Yet this. 1t seems, is our situa-
ton. The truth, seldom men,
toned but there for anyone TO
see, is that nature is not so
easily nodded and that the in
sects are finding ways to CIR
cumvent our chemical attacks
on them.

Focts Ignored

Two critically important facts
have been overlooked in design
ing the modern insect control
programs. The first is that the
really effective control Of in
sects is that applied by nature,
not by man.
Populations are kept in check
by something the biologists call
the resistance of the environ
ment, and this has been so
since the first life was created.
The amount Of food available,
conditions Of weather and eli
mate, the presence Of Compel
ing or predatory species, all are
critically important.
THE greatest single factor
In preventing insects from ov-
erwhelming the rest Of the
world is the internecine war
fare which they carry out
among themselves" said the
entomologist Robert Metcalf.
Yet most Of the chemicals now
used kill all insects, our friends
and enemies alike.
The second neglected fact is
the truly explosive power Of q
species TO reproduce once the
resistance Of the environment
has been weakened. The fecun-
dity OF many forms Of life is
almost beyond our power TO
imagine.
