NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska American Bullding, Seattle, Wash. NOT WORKING According to all of the information which we have received concerning the newly established Seattle Civilian Traffic Control oifice, the procedure adopted under laid down by the Western Defense Command just working When the Civilian Travel Control organization was first announced we were cager to applaud the move on the grounds that because of the demand by the military on Alaska’s transportation system, all un- necessary travel certainly should be eliminated. The military has enough trouble without having to com- pete with civilians for ‘ransportation space, From this end of the line, the procedure for se- curing permits to travel to the States has been well- organized and is working smoothly. Applications are expedited because in most instances, officers of the Alaska Defense Command have had time to familiar- ize themselves with the residents in their respective communities and it isn’'t much of a job to find out directions isn't ‘Newspapers, 1011 | activities for youth, plus needed financial assistance [rllory The Seattle office would be saved a great 'amount of work and worry in this respect if residents leaving the Territory were issued round trip permits |at the Alaska office in their respective communities \Kwhere officers are much more capable of doing the | job. Apparently, the system estoblished in the Seattle office is confusing, expensive to applicants, and not exactly helpful to the war effort. Something should be done to remedy this unwholesome situation. CCC: Gone---Until When? (Philadelphia Record) | Over the heads of Congress, America’s everlasting | gratitude goes to the Civilian Conservation Corps, | | which the House and Senate have voted to abolish | as a sacrifice to false economy. ; It would have been true economy to continue CCC. The valiant way CCC helped fight the depression and converted its energies just as effectively to help fight the war i§ a glorious page in recent American history. Born in peacetime, it provided useful, healthful to their families. Of the 3,000,000 boys who served in CCC during its existence, thousands received the | nly education of their lives. Forests, State parks, water conservation projects, recreational sites of all kinds are the country’s herit- | age today from CCC, But long before war was declared, the CCC progmm1 was being shaped for usefulness in defense. At the time it was abelished, 80 percent of CCC.’ work was devoted exclusively to the war effort. More | than 100 CCC companies were quartered right in the ! Army camps, performing essential tasks which sol- diers otherwise would have had to do. Those tasks included Fuilding and maintaining | war equipment, operating ‘he Army’s railroads, erect- ing telephone systems, servicing Army alr fields, tending the Army's power plants, hauling military | supplies. That’s not “raking leaves.” That’s war service. f Up to the last minute, Army officials pleaded with | | Congress not only to contuinue this program but to expand it. Now who will perform the same duties? You've ! guessed it. Soldiers will now have to be diverted | from military training to replace youths who are be- ing “mustered out.” | In other words, by econumizing with CCC Congressi has “economized” with the war machine instead.

Scott C. Bone, President Harding said it was only a trip deferred, that he was making all plans to come to the Territory the following year during the month of June. Charles Ross, banker and capitalist of Seattle and founder of banks at Iditarod and Flat, wf,l;re he held mining and other interests, was a Juneau visitor on his way to the Iditarod country. Fred L. Walkgr, of San PFrancisco, special representative of the Sanity League of America, with national headquarters in the Bay City, arrived 'in Juneau to introduce the organization into Alaska. purpose of the Sanity League was to secure modification of the Volstead Act so as to provide for the sale and use of wine and beer. Main Gen. Wild P. Richardson was greeted by many of his local friends way to the Interior. He was met at the dock by Gov. Scott C. Bone, Col. J. C. Gotwals and many | others. He spent a short time in conference with Gov. Bone and the remainder of the time the Northwestern was in port he visited with friends. Col.

FRANKLIN STREET L. C. Smith and Corona TYPEWRITERS all bona fide Alaskans are listed in these files. Wouldn’t it be much more simple to make inquiries in Alaska, in the communities from which the appli- cants come from? The ignorance of these Seattle officials of the Ter- ritory is excusable since tnese officials do not come from Alaska. But the ignorance of the WDC in appointing such officials instead of Alaskans may be questioned. One applicant wrote on his permit that he was coming to Alaska for the Pacific American Fisheries. The Civilian Traffic Control official in Seattle had never heard of PAF. Probably the most serious aspect of the situation, however, is the delay from the standpoint of secur- ing passage for war workers. It isn’t easy to round up workers who are willine to come to Alaska to aid In the war effort. Wages offered in Seattle and sur- rounding communities are also sky-high. Offers to work nearer home are too tempting for a war worker to stay on the unemployed list in Se- attle for two weeks while ihe police take his finger- prints, send them to Waslington, D. C. for appraisal, and all of the other red tape is unwound. Supposedly, bona fide residence in Alaska is a le- gitimate reason for an Alaskan to return to the Ter- | review of the circumstances under which the sabo- | teurs (two of them naturalized American citizens) | | landed and attempted to carry out their destructive mission in the United States. They are being given full opportunity to develop any defense they may have on the four counts against them under the United States Articles of War, The code of war—even that of the more civilized nations—is harsh. The accused saboteurs could ex- pect little else but death sentences if convicted on such charges as they face in any nation of the world, It is not their fault, however, that a great many American civilians have not been killed by their in- fernal machines and planned acts of sabotage. It is not their fault that no great blow has been dealt to the efforts of the United States to defend itself against slavery by the Axis powers—a slavery as awful as any historians can cite. | Al of these men (unless it appears that one was "helpful in frustrating the scheme) willfully abused the hospitality of the United Stdtes in’gaining the familiarity with the country which they have at- tempted to use in Adolf Hitler's behalf. If anything, the crime of two who professed nllegixince to' the United States is even worse than the others who merely were resident alien: here. | “You stll question.

Therefore, I think we ought to agree right now on some unified plan ot action.” After considerable discussion, ‘t was decded to suggest to “the President a “joint economic coun-| ¢il.” 'This would be composed of representatives of the four groups| present, and would advise with war agencies on labor-management problems and make recommenda- tions, 1rom time to time, on war labor po icies. It wasn't announced at the White House, Lut this was the basis for the plas of cooperation which in- dustry and labor spokesmen laid before the President a few days later. LABOR’S INFLUENCE ELLIOT ROOSEVELT IN BRAZIL On a recent trip from Rio 0 Washington, Fernando Lobo, astu‘e Minister-Counselor of the Brizilian Embassy, stopped overnight at the strategic port of Belem, well known these days to many an American aviator. At Belem’s Grand Hotel, Lobo asked the proprietor how he liked the American fliers constantly pass- ing through. “Fin said the proprietor. “PFine. But once I did the wrong thing. A captain came to the hotel, a big American, and he wrote his name in the book but I didn’'t pay atfen- ton. T just gave him a room on the top f.oor and forgot about him. “Then pretty soon came a colonel, he signed the book. When he saw the name of the captain, he said to me, ‘Look who you have here; this is the son of the President— Despit: the seriousness of the business-labor session, there wis one mirthful moment when John- ston made a grinning remark about labor’s “influence” with the govern- ment. “What are you replied Bill Gréen goodnaturedly. “Big business is in the driver’s seat. Your dollar-a-year men are running the show.” “That's right,” chorused CIO's Carey and George Meany of the AFL. “Why, labor doesn't even have representation in the cabinet.” This dig at Secretary of Labor Perkins brought a how! from every- one—including sedate William P. Witherow, president of the Manu- facturers Association. talking about,” Captain Elliott Roosevelt.” “So I ran upstairs right away and apologized to Captain Roose- velt for giving him such a poor room. But he was already stretched out on the bed, and he said, ‘It's all righy; it's fine' So I left him.. “But that night —what do you suppose? That very night, the Ger- man . radio announced from Berlin that Ciptain Elliot Roosevelt was staying ot my hotel! What spies we have!” Note: Elliott has since been pro- moted 1o the rank of Major. His superfors say he earned it.

Within 24 hours after an explanitory mes- sage Was sent to Santiago, Nazi shortwavers were on the air with all over South America, stating: “Relations between the United States and Chile were further strained today when the United States olocked delivery of 13 street cars to the city of Santiago. The cars have already been paid for and are lying idle, but the United States r.fuses to permit their ship= ment to Santiago, where they are needed to solve a transportatioa crisis.” (Copyright, 1942, by United Feat- ure Synuicate, Inc.)
