ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Building, Seattle, Wash WELCOME CURTAILMENT Good news to newspaper editors and others was the recent move by Elmer Davis, chief of the Office of War Information, in slicing drastically into the huge pile of governmental publications. Even though the latest information says that there is no paper shortage, the waste involved in the money that it has cost to publish these superfluous reports, and the expense of mailing have been no small items. THE DAILY ALASKA EM tasks and see OCTOBER 13 | James V. Davis (Philadelphia Record) The spirit that wins wars is the daring things, the will to tackle “impossible” them through in spite of all obstacles.

Local draft hoards would retain their autonomy, thus giving them far more power in their communities than anyone ever anticipated INDIAN BOILING POINT India gets little play in the press, but behind the scenes it is a source of growing concern among highly placed Washington officials. The U. S. government has been keeping its official mouth shut, but privately officials are boiling over. Here are some of the reasons: 1. Gandhi is held incommunicado in prison. Indian leaders who have expressed a desire to see him, to ef- fect a compromise plan, have been denied admission. No reports of his condition are published. He could even be dead without the public knowing of it. " 2. L.S. Amery, Secretary of State for India, is following a reactionary course and is the man behind Churchill’s intransigeance 3. Even Indian officials appoint- ed by the British are restive The Agent General for India in Wash- ington, Sir Girja Shankar Bajpai, cannot see State Department officials without asking the British Embassy to arrange an appointment, and thus putting himself in a position of reporting to the embassy the nature of the interview. 4.

S. oil properties. | But now the State Department champions a square deal to Mexico —much to the consternation of the oil men who have infiltrated into,the government. Recently the State Department proposed sending an economic mis- | sion to Mexico to study closer co- operation with our neighboring ally against the Axis. On the mission | it appointed an outstanding oil ex- jert, William J. Kemnitzer of La- guna Beach, Calif., to study Mexican oil. | Kemnitzer had lived in Mexico, | once worked as resident geologist for the Mexican Candelaria Com- pany; also for Shell Oil. | But he had made the unforgivable mistake of writing a book, “The Re- birth of Monopoly,”plus other articles and books critical of the big eil com- panies . So when it was learned that | the State Department planned to send Keémnitzer to Mexico, Deputy Petroleum Coordinator Ralph Davies ,of Standard Oil of California, and | {his aid, William Duce, objected vig- | | orousty. i They pulled the wires so effective- ly that Cordell Hull, though usually resenting outside interference with his department, finally yielded. Kemnitzer did not go to Mexico.
