ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER Puul.lcn’loll NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Bullding, Seattle, Wash CIVILIAN SUPPLY Far-reaching changes in the lives and habits of every citizen during the next few months were fore- cast recently by Joseph L. Weiner, of the Division of Civilian Supply. Food, clothing, transportation and housing, he pointed out, are the four principal fields in which changes have developed and in which even greater changes may be expected. America should pv proud to find that althcugh we are converting a huge amount of our resources and industry to war, the American people still have | not had to any great extent, make any! great sacrifices Americans still have plenty to each with much| variety. Weiner says that there is no danger that this country will lack a sufficient supply of staples, or that the American diet will lack any of its vital elements. We may have to cut down a little on sugar, tea, coffee, bananas. Hut these commodities have yet reached no serious state of scarcity. As far as clothes go, Weiner states that it now appears that rationing of clothing will not be neces- sary this year. We may have to wear more cotton on account of the militery demand for wool. We are feeling the gasoline and rubber shortage to some extent, but not as severely as shortages of these vital war materials are felt in other countries. Rubber is the most serious, and it may be necessary to make gasoline rationing more strict in order to to suffer conserve rubber. If the American people turn in a sufficient amount of scrap rubber in the current cam- paign, we may still bs able to get a reasonable amount of this fuel for civilian use. Housing restrictions have become necessary due to the demand for lumber by the military and war industry. The building of non-essential homes is curtailed This, according to Weiner, represents a general And it's rosy We picture of what the future holds for us. compared to the future other nations face. haven’'t begun to feel tre pinch yet. Pinpricks On The Coast (Cincinnati Enquirer) So long as our naval and air forces command the great triangle formed bv Alaska, Hawaii, and Pan- ama, we do not need to fear any major attack on cur Western coast or on any outlying possessions of | LABOR the real (Continued from Page One) Power deputy director | you who know all the answers. “Bes'des,” added Magnuson with @ sly grin, “you are free now.” SHORTAGE | War chiefs apprehensively .expect pinch in labor shortage to develop this fall—unless the Man Board takes forceful mea- he wished, but that he (King) had | cures to avert such a crisis. mmpormnce we still hold in the Pacific. That is why we can afford to ignore the shelling of the Oregon |coast by an enemy submarine. Of cowrse it would be desirable to have move small craft patrolling our | coastal waters, in both oceans, That would reduce {our shipping losses and contribute to the security of ‘cmn».(al cities. But the navy has far more important tasks than coast defense, and this should never be ! forgotten. The seizure of ano‘her islapd in the Aleutian chain fs much more significant. Kiska Island is about 260 miles east of Attu, the island prevlouslyi ! occupied by the enemy. Dutch Harbor, the outermost American base of real !importance. But 650 miles is no great distance in modern war. If the Japs succeed in holding both Attu and Kiska and developing bases, we may face a serious problem Every prospect, however, is for the destructiol lof the Japanese task lorce now operating under cover |of fog in Alaskan wate:s done to that force already. Aerial operations against {the landing parties and sea forces have continued, {whenever the skies have cleared enough to permit "gir observation. | The islands thus far seized by the enemy are not ! well suited for use as advanced bases. Their pos- session by the enemy is more of a warning of his| | intentions than a real threat to Alaska. But in con- | trast to the pinpricks on our Northwestern shore line, | | the stabs into the Aleu‘ians do constitute a serious | lmnimry operation which we must counter with super- jor air power. The new advance of the enemy in ltho North Pacific is at least a sharp notice that we fare still on the defensive, in the Pacific as well as |in the Middle East and North Africa and China. { The Long and Short of It ‘ (Philadelphia Record) “ There is an improvement in the Silly Season this | summer. ting and “handies” (remember them?) This year, we are back to normal—with women’s styles making the headlines In New York, City Council has caused a furor by forbidding anyone over the age of 12 to appear | on streets “dressed in bathing or swimming attire, or in a halter, shorts, sun suit, play suit or attire of like nature, without wmxlng a wrap.” While the women can’t wear shorts in New York, they are in trouble elsewhere when they wear slacks. ! Principal of the Collingswood (N. J.) High School last week sent home seniors who wore slacks, and | Mayor Bowron has declared Los Angeles City Hall | out of bounds for wemen employes wearing slacks. i We are not much in favor of laws limiting either slacks or shorts. We think full-length mirrors, placed on street corners by municipal authorities, would have more effect. Let’s Ration Politics (Philadelphia Record) There has been cause for criticism of Leon Hen- derson’s handling of price fixing and rationing., He has been tactless, . He has made mistakes. He has often tried to do too much too quickly. But Congress is attecking Henderson on a basis that won’t stand up at all: partisan politics. Congress is out to ge: Henderson hecause he wont play ball on patronage. One Congressman accused Henderson: “Why appointed a Republican State committeeman to an important position when there were Democrats just as well qualified.” he son has offered to resign if Congress wants that as a price for voting funds for his Office of Price Ad- ministration. We belleve Congress should do a httle rauumng of its own—on cheap politics. No one has questioned Henderson’s honesty. H has made mistakes—but they were inevitable in car: rying out a program unprecedented in this country. His has been one of the toughest jobs in Washington. Congress should forget that this is an election year, and help Henderson to get on with his Jjob. Civilians face an acute shortage of doctors be- cause of the war.

ANOTHER TOUGH ONE Shifting labor from consumer goods plants to war work also is a touchy problem. In many cases it will mean moving large numbers of workers from one town or one section to another—which won't be easy, especially for employes of long-established plants However, hundreds of firms com- pellea to convert to war production weren't overjoyed at that hardship. | And it is no picnic for the millions | of men in the Army. Women already flocking into ln—} dustry in large numbers are con- | sidered by the experts as the key‘ ! to the labor shortage problem.

It should be favorable for admirals, | generals and government heads. | HEART AND HOME: Fairly good | news may be expected in letters re- ceived today. While it is not a lucky sway for Initiative, routine | matters should proceed satisfactor- | ily. Through coming weeks the seers predict that telepathy will prove possible where sons or husbands are |in distant lands in the service of their country. Science will investi- | |gate many cases of prescience as well as other forms that denote ex- trasensory preception. Colors will take- on a new significance. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Surprising \ adjustments will benefit wage earn- | ers and small businessmen as money in plentiful streams circulates free- {ly. Inflation will be well controlled | although generous spending cannot | | be prevented through the vacation period. As usual in wartime the | nation’s emergency will give op- | i portunity to a few to amass for- |tunes legitimately. Cases of graft ‘and profiteering will be uncovered | | from time to time. A record break- | ing peak of production will stimu- late national optimism. NATIONAL ISSUES: As women | in industry increase and enlistments | for auxiliary war service rise, groups | will push the campaign for equal | rights and will call attention to dis- criminations of various sorts due to legislation in years when full citi- | zenship was denied. Congress will heed importunities as wives and mothers as well as young girls dem- onstrate their efficiency in shops | land factories. The war is to bring about wide recognition for women of all ages. | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: As Jupiter is the ruling planet of the United States the transit through the sign of Cancer is be- | lieved to indicate continued gbod |fortune for the Allied Nations. For | the next year or less the might of the United States will be demon- strated so forcibly and so sweepingly lchat there will be no doubt of com- | g vietory .
