ALASKA RED CROSS From a standing start following December 7, 1041, Alaskan Red Cross chapters trained last year as many first aiders as the United States’ average for the past three years, according to a year-end report by A. L. Schafer, manager of the Red Cross Pacific Area, San Francisco. “Thirty-four in every thousand citizens of Alaska carry certificates showing them to be trained gradu- | ates of .the Red Cross Standard, Advanced or In-| structors first aid course. While it is the lowest of any in the Pacific Area, which is comprised of eheJ seven western states and Alaska, it is exactly the| same as our three-year national average.” The ten Alaska Red Oross chapters, located at Anchorage, Cordova, Juneau, Ketchikan, Nome, Sitka, | Seward, Tanana Valley, Valdez and Wrangell, have been beehives of activity since the beginning of the war, Their tempo of work has consantly in- creased to prepare their populations to meet any form of invasion or emergency. Against the national average of 34 persons per 1,000 population trained in first aid, the Schafer re- port points out that the Pacific area has 63 persons tiained in the three-year period beginning October, 1939. Most of them have been trained in the past year. Many also have continued their work to be- cpmeé volunteer lay instructors. This has broken the bottlenieck created by the avalanche of requests for training immediately following Pearl Harbor. The Red Cross goal is to have all persons engaged il industry or in farming trained, and to have a ]tmmed during 1942 are one tremendous contribution of the American Red Cross to America's war effort. Alaskans are proud to have a share in the enterprise. | Listen To The Sileftce (Philadelphia Record) Suppose a labor union and five of its leaders were indieted for defrauding the Federal Govern- ment in time of war. Suppose the fraud charge actually constituted sabotage, turning out allegedly defective cable that would endanger lives of American troops and our Allies. Suppose Attorney General Biddle accused the union men of taking part in “one of the most re- prehensible ¢ases of defrauding the Government and endangering the lives of American soldiers and sail- ors ever to come to the attention of the Department of Justice.” There would have been so much breast-beating by the conservative press that it would have sound- ed like a million apes celebrating a jungle victory. But such charges HAVE been made by the Fed- eral Government against the Anaconda Wire & Cable Company—subsidiary of the glant Anaconda Copper Mining Company—and five of its executives. And there was silence from the editorial pages of the conservative press—a silence as big as Ana- conda itself, which is plenty big. For the parent company is the biggest copper company in the world, is the world’s largest indi- vidual owner of copper, holding 28 percent of the world’s known copper reserves, and through its sub- sidiaries (Anaconda Wire & Cable and American Brass Company) is the world’s largest copper fabri- cating company. Yet of ten other metropolitan newspapers in the Philadelphia-New York area checked yesterday, not one commented on the case editorially. Most of them “played the story down.” Two referred to the indicted men as “employees,” although one of the men was general manager of mills in nine differ- ént cities and should be called an executive if not an official. The Record gave the indictments the prominence thev deserved, both on page one and on the edi- torial page. We do not believe the charges against Anaconda Wire & Cable, even if proved true later in court, reflect on American business as a whole. We belleve that only a tiny fraction of businssmeesn would countenance iraud or sabotage against the Gov- ernment. In the same way, we believe that only a tiny !rnum of labor leaders approve strikes in war Bu'. we do believe in keeping score fairly, and calling the turn when big business or little, labor of- ficials or rank-and-file leaders, let their selfish interests slow up the war. —_——— 1f you're really kicking about the cost of living, just stop and think what it really is worth.

Since Brit- fh morning papers are the ones Which publish speeches at length and which really carry weight, this | meant the virtual blanketing of his speeches, When Willike took this up with the New York Censor it was ex- important ned that no speeches were re- before delivery because Nazi #gents might pick them up from tadio transmission wave-lengths #nd then broadcast replies to the| #peech while it was being deliv- éred. Willkle accepted this, until Vice President Wallace delivered his famous speech on Woodrow Wil- son's birthday. Then he was amazed fo learn that Wallace's speech was cabled in large part to England TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE. . Immediately Willkie wired By- Price inquiring why this hap- Poned. “Do_ members of the Ad- mindstration-enjoy e different rule i3 b usked. ., Bywon Price wired back that the of ‘War Information had Vice President Wallace's to London in advance, and | “the Office of Censorship had | to do with it.

He believes that no promises of this kind should be made at this time. “For,” he explains, “we may have |a Fascist government in France after the war.” “I do not know what we are |fighting for if we are not fighting| for freedom,” Willkie told a/ i quicker if we keep our colors clean and bright. Maybe I am all wrong, but I really believe the things I are concerned. Regarding the Brit-|say about freedom and I cannot% watch the deviation from ciple without saying so.” prin- That is why Willkie 4s gomg to| keep on pouading at British im- perialism, and hoping that part of his speeches will get acroes the Atlantic to the British people who, in his opinion, don't really believe in imperialism either. MERRY-GO-ROUND The State Department now dis-| closes that when U. S. naval ves- sels shelled Casablanca, they sunk two French ships known as “eco- nomic accord vessels,” which were ready to sail under a diplomatic agreement to exchange commodi- ties between the U.S.A. and North Africa. .

Talbeck Jean Campbell K. N. Neill T HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” Thursday, January 28 Benefic aspects rule today which is fortunate for progressive and constructive activities. Women, are‘ well-directed. | HEART AND HOME: As war re- strictions and regulations increase, the fact that in days of peace too much stress was placed upon the, comforts and luxuries of living will| be realized. Emphasis upon mater- | ial things led to neglect of spirit-| ual aspirations, which now will be, awakened by anxieties and sorrows. Accent on physical beauty and ar- tificial methods of enhancing it will be recognized as resulting un- favorably for girls who now must turn to stern realities. Astrologers foretell great benefits through the discipline of hard work for victory. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: When Jan- vary closes, the statistics regarding | trade will be most assuring, it is indicated, and February will prove | active in the business world. Ex-| pansion of industrial centers in| many parts of. the United States will emphasize the shortage of manpower, but older men will re- turn to trades long abandoned. The. war will teach how shortsighted was the recent exaggeration of the youth movement in this country. “ NATIONAL ISSUES: Govern-! ment -supervision of organized groups will be accepted by patriotic | citizens who desire right direction! for American “joiners” who will doj much to ald in postwar reconstruc- tion days. Through necessary sur-i veillance at this time, the seers de- | |clare that much needed reforms !msy be made. War service for men and women will result in dssocia- tions of greatest future value to! Ithe nation, it is forecast, if mass| power is conscientiously exercised.| { INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:| {Russia is to launch amazing of!en-- |sives from time to time, despite win |ter hazards, it is prognosticated.! There is a sign read as presaging tchange of policy or relationship| among the Allies which should re- | sult fortunately. Stalin will have reason to feel confident of complete- ly defeating the Nazis in the Spring| when greater help from the United, States is foretold. This may mean |many men as well as supplies and munitions. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of many unusual activities. Love affairs will prosper, especially for women of this sign. Children born on this day pro- bably will be extremely artistic, or- iginal and inventive. They may be temperamental, but kindly and generous. (Copyright, 1843) i (Times.” Principal theme is that “armies can’t run on alcohol.”-. . .
