Dunning, 1011 American Bank Building. BUDGETS TOURISTS ON The Alaska tourist season is drawing swiftly to a close. With the schools of the nation due to open next week in most cities and rural sections, the Ter- ritory’s best tourist customer, the school teacher, must quit her travels and go back to work for the winter. The summer of 1941 hasn’t been the best tour- ist season in history for Alaska, but it has been far from the worst. Registrations of tourist visitors at the Territorial Museum here show it as one of the best years for travel since the Wall Street crash. ‘The Alaskan cruise trip has a lot more to offer the lazy tourist than almost any trip he could take. The traveler who wants to rest and avoid excitement and exercise can loll on steamer decks and see more majestic scenery on a trip to Alaska than on any other “effortless” trip available to him from the shores of North America. | Perhaps, however, Alaskans could coax more of | the active tourist types to come north by providing them with facilities for getting out and doing things the game active through the northern Puget Sound | after they arrive in the Territory. i Yesterday we commented on the radio broadcast series of Todd Hunter, Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem news analyst, who visited Juneau during the) past summer. Hunter, who reported things just as| he found them here, commented that “the tourist business in Alaska has been woefully neglected for a territory that has so much to offer in the way of scenery, fishing and hunting.” “Part of this,” Hunter continued, “may be at- tributed to the undeniable fact that hoat and plane accommodations to Alaska are packed and jammed as it i5. More such facilities are needed. But coup- led with this there is evidence to justify the belief wihat.a.great .deal.remains to be..done in. Alaska. by Alaskans to organize their unparalleled attractmqs on a tourist basis—and then go after the business in terms of Chicago and New York." People in the states have heard a lot about our splendid fishing in both fresh and salt water, and of course tales of big game hunting and the chance for splendid camera studies of wildlife to be found in Alaska have been widely circulated. But just how often does the average tourist, with the aver- age income and modest amount to spend for a vaca- tion, get a_chance to do any of that fishing, hunt- ing or snapshot snapping? The wealthy sportsman or camera fiend can always charter a boat or plane to take him where the gnnie is most thick and the scenery most grand. But ‘what is the couple who would spend from $10 to $35 on & fishing. trip or camping junket to do? In Washington, Oregon, and especially in South- ern California, these amusements would be made easy for them. Live-bait boats from Santa Monica daily take loads of tourists for depp-sea fishing trips, supplying them with poles, tackle and bait for a small sum. If you want to go camping, busses will take you to the place where the trail into the moun- tains leaves the highway and in many places there are cabins along these trails, just a day's hike apart, so the camper need only carry his blankets, food and an axe. There are probably a hundred of these tourists with moderate vacation budgets, who would like to stop over between boats at some Alaska city and take a trip into the wilds by themselves, for every one wealthy sportsman who can afford his outing on a grand scale. Alaskans aren’t making the most of their mar- velous tourist attractions until they find some way of giving Mr. and Mrs, Typical Vacationer the sort of outing they will most enjoy and longest remember. THE LAST CHECKMATE lived around will Juneau folks who at one time Skagit Valley, in northwestern - Washington, probably remember Fred Ornes. Certainly they will remember him if they were | readers of their community weekly newspapers. A veteran editor and publisher of weekly papers in that section, friendly Fred Ornes died last week in Mount Vernon at the age of 70. He died on a Sunday, from a sudden heart attack, which came upon him as he was busy with the activity which held second place to his newspapers in his affections —chess. Mr. Ornes was supervising the annual Northwest | Chess Tournament at-the time his heart failed him. A lover of the game, he was largely responsible for the organization of the Northwest Chess Association, and was certainly ‘the leader in keeping interest in country during recent years. The annual tourna- ment was one of his prime pleasures. P Fred Ornes founded The "Twin City News at Stanwood, was later publisher- of The Anacortes American, and has for a number of years published i The Mount Vernon Argus. His paper in Mount Vernon is a weekly, and competes for circulation and advertising with a daily paper in the same city. Yet because of the respect in which Skagit valley farmers have always held Fred Ornes, and because, too, of the wisdom of his editorials and the excellence of his coverage of agri- cultural news, The Mount Verion Argus has never training films taken a back seat. have ever been |bitious thumb. Washingfon 7 Merry- Go-Round (Continued from Page One) is an extremely important factor. Also, the necessity of travelling in slow convoys further reduces the amount of shipping available. Some experts estimated this reduction as high as 50 percent. In addition the British sometimes take an exces- sively long time to unload cargoes. B0 the tank problem thus also becomes an acute shipping prob- lem. One bright spot in the situa- tion is the great reduction in ship losses in the last 60 days since the extension of the U. S. neutrality patrols. But the basic problem of securing more cargo hottoms still remains. NOTE—Since January 1, U. S, shipyards have turned out a total of 56 cargo vessels. “That Halifax Woman” Lord and Lady Halifax were wined and dined regally while on the West Coast recently. At alarge public luncheon in San Francisco, several prominent club women and society leaders flung oral tributes at Lady Halifax, including Mrs. C. M. 8loss, who apparently was quite a movie fan. Or at least she had seen the recent picture “That Hamilton Woman.” For rising to pay tribute to the wife of the British Ambassador, Mrs. Sloss three times referred to her as “Lady Hamilton.” Lady Halifax seemed amused.

To them it was a big dis- appointment. | First of all the cut looks a lot| bigger than it actually is. For one | thing the OPM carefully did not reveal in its hoopla press releases was the fact that even with this curtailment auto production still will be 10 percent greater than in 1938 and 1939. In other words, notwithstanding the increasing shortage of strate- gic raw materials, such as steel, rubber, alloys and other metals, | auto production is to continue at | higher levels than in the peaceful years of '38 and '39. Another reason for the Army gloom was that it wanted an im- mediate cut of at least 50 percent. For months War Department heads pleaded and argued with OPM moguls for drastic curtail- ment, on the ground that the ma- terials going into pleasure cars are desperately needed for planes, tanks, ships, guns and other vital arma- ments. But for months the OPM master-minds did absoluwly noth- ing. Finally, in July, scnpm' OPACS Director Leéon Henderson, who has seen eye-to-eye with the Army on this issue from the' start, took the bull by the horns and ‘“or- dered” a 50 percent slash OPM’s reaction’ was (v hit the It refused to accept the numbers.

LEWIS DEFEATED | UAW Lewis sought this control, first, to strengthen his recapture of the CIO presidency from ailing Phil Murray; second, to foster his po- litical ambitions as an anti-Roose- velt, isolationist champion. Crux of the undercover' fight a‘ Buffalo was control of the Auto Workers' executive board, in which Lewis and his leftwing allies were defeated twice. Lewis also was floored on the question of the CIO presidency. He couldn’t afford to oppose a Murray | endorsement openly, as he would | be certain to be licked, which would be disastrous for Lewis. So Lewis henchmen tried desperately toavert any declaration on' the question. But the anti-Lewisites outmaneu- vered them and the convention went on record overwhelmingly for another term for Murray. John L. also changed his secret plan to deliver a surprise address at the meeting. This had been quietly arranged by George Addes, leftwing secretary-treasurer, |but sensing the anti-Lewis senti- ment at the very start, John L. did not. show up. Instead Allan Haywood, CI®@ national organiza- tion director, went to Buffalo to try to do Lewis' axing for him. NOTE—Outstanding leaders of the convention were the young Reuther brothers, Victor and Walter, who led the successful fight against the Lewis-leftwing forces. Vice Presi- dent Richard Frankensteen, who before the convention did a lot of loud talking about how tough he was going to make it for the left- ists, folded up and played hand- in-glove with the Lewis clique.
