NATIONAL REPRESENTATIV] American Building, Seattle, Wash. WHEN SERVICE COUN Members of the six troops of the Boy Scouts of | America t week threw their welcome support be- hind the current rubber salvage campaign, doing their part in earmarking anotner page in the history of war for service by the Scouts Today there are approximately 1,750,000 Scouts in America in some 51,000 units. When that number of | the nation’s organized boyvhood takes on a job the results are astounding In the recent aluminum drive, 12,000,000 pounds of the vital war metal was coilected throughout the The Scouts turned in 10,500,000 of that total. they collected some 300,000,000 pounds of waste nation Later paper In the last war there was a serious shortage of black walnut wood for manufacturing airplane pro- | pellors. The Scouts found more of the trees. Today the Scouts are partivipating in a nation- wide “treasure hunt” for rubber. The Japs now have 97 percent of all of the sources of crude rubber for- merly used by the United States. The other three | percent came from sources at home. We may be able to get about 120,000 tons of synthetic rubber here annually when the plants start rolling. But even | in peacetime, 700,000 tons of ribber a year was used | by Americans. | So if a Boy Scout knocks on your door and asks| you to take a second look for old rubber, cooperate with him. Remember: A 35000-ton battleship needs 15900 pounds of rubber; a two and a half-ton army truck, 446 pounds; the gas tank of a Flying Forfress. 1429 pounds; a 10-ton pontoon bridge, 3,644 pounds; a light tank, 489 pounds, and a heavy bomber tire, 100 pounds. \ The rubber salvage drive ends on June 30. { NEW HORIZONS % We may look forward to profound changes in ’mnger figments of the visionary imagination. train behind a powerful transport airplane, can be dropped off conveniently en route, at cities for which their loads have been segregatcd. Such a train of | three gliders with a cargo “tug,” could easily trans- port 190,000 pounds of freight Letween the coasts in twelve hours at approximately the same cost per ton mile as on trailer trucks but with a saving of some | nine days in time. Cargo planes of large size are now being built out of plywood, and gliders of cargo- carrying cn]mcit’y.are being produced in quantity for the Army. 4 The airplane will play a part quite as revolution- ary after this war as did the railway after the Civil War or the automobile following the First World War. Rooftop commuting: freight cars of the air carry- ing heavy machinery or oil or automobiles for deliv- ery in distant States in glider trains at speeds around 200 miles an hour; vehicles for private travel equally at home on road, on water or in flight—these are no They are believed by men of sound technical training and business experience to be the probabilities of a to- morrow made possible by the free ocean of the air in which already there are no herizons. Appreciating Our Ally (Cincinnati Enquirer) It is no small thing that the anniversary of Hit- ler's invasion of Russia is to be observed in the United States. Governors of at least ten states and the Mayors of over thirty cities have proclaimed June 22 of this year as an “Aid To Russia” Day. It is dedi= | cated to a “tribute to the courage of the Russian Ar- my and people, and as a speeial occasion for mobil- izing new aid to those people.” It is important that this celebration should be more than lip service. Over 2nd above everything else it should be convineing to our allies that we do not regard them as a mere convenience which, by a fortunate circumstance, finds them involved in a death struggle with Hitler's Nazis and the German general staff. We owe it to them as well as to our-| selves to understand them. One of the most insidious forms of Dr. Goebbels’ implantation surely was the poisonous whisper set in motion just after the German attack that capitalist countries might rejoice at this method of killing off so many Communists! Some day we shall be glad for the courage and honesty of Joseph E. Davies, our former Ambassador to the Soviet Union. It was he who warned of the Nazi trap te have us view Russia with contempt, doubt. and suspicion and of the wedge which they seek to drive between the Allies, As a capitalist himself and an industrialist, Davies could appreciate and advise on Russia’s great mechan- istic program. He was in a position to interpret and | to forecast the USSR position a< in good faith after) last June 22 for his own government and to pass this on to the people of the United States in that most remarkable of books, “Mission to Moscow.” This! silenced much of the carping d»ubt and suspicion so adroitly set in motion by the sixth column in Ameri- ca, simply because he was so widely known as an in- dividualist and a Christian. Also he was able to docu- ment his case with State Department material. It is a brief submitted by one of the best legal and in- dustrial minds of the United States. The remarkable sale of this report of our former Ambassador, nearly half a million copies, is surely some indication that well-informed people in this country do appreciate our ally and will not content; themselves with the poisonous phrase, “Let Joe do it!” e Expert Advice The following excerpts are from a speech by Rep. J. Willlam Ditter, of Pennsylvania: “What should the President do to speed our de- fense effort? FPirst, he should take Congress and the transportation as a direct result of the war. Air- craft, on missions of destructiuii, already have made | people into his cenfidence and tell them the facts— which our enemies undoubtedly know—about what this plain. It is reasonable to suppose that the les- we have and what we need.

Washinglon Merry- Go-Round (Continued trom Page One) Green and Murray, who agreed that this was one point on which the CIO, the AFL and the U. S Chamber of Commerce could con- cur, wide apart as they might be on other matters. AGAINST COMMUNISM “Another thing I think we can agree on,” continued Johnston, “is to get to know each other better. A Jot of men in my organization have thought you labor leaders wear horns. And I guess you thought the same thing of us. But I'm con- vinced that if we get acquainted we can work out a lot of things that seemed insurmountable before. Chamber had learned a lot of les- sons during the war, and was def. | initely in the moed to cooperate. | | | “ GEN. MacARTHUR Popular young Senator Josh Lee | will never forget his first encounter | with Gen. Douglas MacArthur, in | which the Army hero proved him- self, then as now, a man of dy- namic aetion. It happened in 1935 while MacArthur was Chief of Staff and Lee was a rookie Representa- | tive from Oklahoma. Lee walked into the House one |day while Congressman Vito Mar- | cantonio, New York left-winger, | was assailing the ROTC in colleges. Lee didn't like it. He was fresh from the *campus of the University of Oklahoma, which has one of the (Hmst ROTC units in the country. So Lee let go with a counter- | blast which almost blew Marcan- | tonio off his feet. One of the most | interested readers of the Congrees- | ional Record next day was General { MacArthur. Several days later Lee itelephoned MacArthur about a | ’synthet\c rubber program is con- trolled by “imimical private inter- ests,” anxious to avert competition after the war. His statement followed a closed- door meeting of an investigating committee, headed by the Iowa Senator, at which it was revealed that the mysterious “advisory com- mittee” which asists Jesse Jones in directing synthetic rubber pro- duction is composed chiefly of of- ficials of the big rubber companies and Standard Oil. For weeks Gillette tried to find out who was on this committee, but was unable to get any definite information. The only name Gillette could definitely establish was that of E. R. Weidlein, $1-a-year man on leave from the Mellon Institute. But Gillette now has the full list of this secret braintrust. It was re- vealed at the closed-door meeting by Paul E. Hadlick, the committee’s able counsel. How Hadlick got the Mst is his secret, but committee members gasped when he read these names: R. P. Dinsmore of Goodyear Tire “And another thing on which I problem. The telephone convelsagand Rubber; P. K. Frolich of the think we can agree is the principle of a fair profit—a fair profit for labor and for industry. You people can't collect dues from a sick in- dustry, and you also have union profits of your own to protect. And along that line, I don't think that labor wants a communist system any more than industry. « “I've been in Russia and Ger- many,” continued Johnston, “and under those systems labor gets a much shorter end of the deal than management. Management still is driving the circus wagons over there, even though different names are printed on the wagons. Work- men can't change from one job to another.” Green and Murray also concurred heartily on this point Result of the conversation an agreement to get together time to time to discuss common problems. Johnston said quite frankly he could not speak for the entire membership of the U. &, Chamber, and would have to do was from | tion went like this: ! | Lee: “Hello, General MacArthur, | this is Congressman Josh Lee of Oklahoma. TI'd like to ask a favor| of you.” | t MacArthur: “Mr. Congressman it | will be a pleasure to do you a hvor.‘ If it is within our power, you'll| |have it. You are a real lriend'ol‘ the U. S. Army.” Lee: “Thanks, General. This is what I have on my mind. I'd like to have Biff Jones transferred from the University of Louisiana to the | University of Oklahoma to coach | football. He's an Army man, and | you can do it.” MacArthur: “Yes, sir, I can and | it will be done.” Lee: “Thank you, ‘General.” ‘ MacArthur: “Xi's a pleasure, Mr.‘ Congressman.” And it was done immediately. “That,” grins Lee reminiscently, “is the way General MacArthur |34 ome of chickenpox were the only | 98Mmage was foudd to be with the|ineir mome m Anchorage. works."” 1 JONES’ RUBBER BRAINTRUST | Standard Oil Development Com- pany; J.

Support of the President will be strong un- der this cenfiguration. HEART AND HOME: Many im- posing city houses and country estates will be turned over to pub- lic uses. While economies are nec- essary for persons of every income, it is wise for families not to forego vacation trips or sojourns in mount- ain or sea resorts. Children should be carefully guarded against re- flection of nervous conditions com- mon among older folk. In view of what seems to be the future herc in the United States during war restrictions, it is well to take what- ever pleasures are possible. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Closer trade relations with the countries| of South America will be stimu- lating to many lines of business. Prosperity for wage earners wm‘ bring profits to merchants. The | 20 YEARS AGO f2m, EMPIRE JUNE 23, 1922 ) Over 500 persons thronged the streets of Juneau the previous eve- ning for about three hours when three steamers, loaded with tourists, were in port. Show houses, stores, hotels and the A. B. dance hall were crowded with visitors from the Princess Alice and Nerthwestern from the South and the Admiral Watson from the Westward. Charles Goldstein returned to Juneau fromm a brief business trip Lo the States during which he also visited Ketchikan and Wrangell. Miss Rose Flabby headed the Goddess of Liberty contest for the Fourth of July with Miss Dorothy Olson, who had beem in the lead from the beginning, running second. Lively interest was beginning in the race as it drew toward a close. Capt. A. E. Lathrop, prominent Alaska business man and owner of theatres in Cordova, Anchorage, Fairbanks and Nenana, was a pas- senger on the Northwestern on his way to Anchorage after a business trip to Seattle and San Francisco. H. L. Paulkner returned from Funter Bay where he had heen for a few days. He took supplies for a crew deing asssessment work on the Jualin ground. Announcecent was made that the ferry boat Alma would be used on Sunday for an excursion to Taku Harbor, leaving Juneau at 9 o'clock in the morning and returning around 7 o'clock at night. Seventy-five Nobles of the Mystic Shrine from Salaam Temple of Newark, N. J., accompanied by 100 Shrine ladies formed a jolly party that was touring Alaska folowing the annual session of the Imperial Council at San Francisco. The party arrived in Juneau aboard the Princess Alice on its maiden voyage north for the season and had travelled across the continent in a special train of 11 cars. Though unadvised ahead of time of the Shrine party's presence on the steamer, Gov. and Mrs. Scott C. Bone entertained them with a delightful informal reception. Grover C. Winn, well known Juneau attorney, was a homeward cost of living will rise and victory gardens will be helpful to many| families. Agriculture on the Pacific| coast will undergo many difficulties | because of the scarcity of field | hands but production of foodstuffs | will be prolific owing to the aid of | farmerettes. | NATIONAL ISSUES: Transporta- tion is to be a probhlem to many workers in shops and factories de pite the increase of public con-| veyances. Bicycles will solve certain problems but changes of residence will be numerous in the Fall. Ap- proach of cold weather will cause necessary provision for thousands who are occupying temporary quart- ers. Heat and light are to be lux- uries in future months when the | conservation of power and electri- city becomes imperative. Present conditions will become mueh worse. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Reprisals for successful bombings of Axis holdings will cause serious damage to civilians in widely sep- arated regions as the war becomes ' each week more intense and the | United Nations stronger. The stars | seem to presage strange str: ies that involve barbarisms by en- emies of democracy. Jupiter cul-| minating at Nanking, which .gave encouragement to China, seems to have stimulated the armies long fighting Japanese aggression, the seers report. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of advance- | ment that brings much happiness| but basty decisions should be avoid- ed. , ably will be lovers of knowledge and able in the use of what they learn. Success and Popularity are prophesied for them.
