TIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Wash, NATIONAL REPRESE! Pourth Avenue Bldg., Sed QUEER HAPPENINC Americans must puzzle themselves whenever the Russian government announces the internment of American planes and their crews who have been forced down in Russian territory on bombing raids against Japan. This is the w link in the unity of the United Nations. While the United States sends war supplies to Russia for the Soviet Nation’s fight against Ger- Russia interns the plane crews of planes of the an Axis partner. many, United States which are attack We are producing many planes today, but planes are still not too plentiful. It is no militar ret that hundreds of plancs built in the United States are making their way to Russia via Alaska. The Russians da not think they are getting enough Three years ago, when Italy, Germany and Japan signed their famous military alliance, supposedly all three Axis nations would fight against any power attacking or fighting against any one of the Axis| powers. But even though Germany has had her hands crews of the United States on Kamchatka Peninsula. Russia, apparently, locks at the United States a two countries. time sends Russia many war materials, struggle. this. just Russia does not concern herself with Japan. Russia’s attitude from the North Pacific. Electrons Go to War (New York Times) In 1883 Edison sealed a little plate of metal within one of his inncandescent lamps. There was no con- tact between the plate and the filament, yet when the light was turned on a current streamed from the filament to the plate discovered, and thus was the first electron tube invented. For several decades no pratical use could be made of the “effect.” Now we have electron tubes of many types. They take the form of photeelectric sells which open doors automatically at our approach in railway stations. They enable ontinents and oceans. They are indispensable in broadcasting and television. They are found on every battleship and in every anti-aircraft battery. And all because at last we know that a flash of lightning or a current in a wire is a flow of electrons—the rock bottom of both matter and electricity. Not so long ago electron tubes were used chiefiy in radio both for sending and receiving waves. When it was discovered that short waves can cook an egg held in the hand a way was indicated of generating artificial fevers within the body and thus treating | arthritis and some innfectious diseases. And now electrons in the form of industrial fever-machines are molding plastics, reducing plywoods and airplane pro- pellers to the proper condition and saving time re- quired to make about everything that can be made of a non-conducting material. For all his imagination and optimism Edison would gasp in astonishment if he were alive today to see to what use his “effect” has been put and to learn that soon factories will be genetrating far more radio power than all the world’s radio stations combined The moral to be drawn is plain. Don’t smile at he inventor or the scientist who is apparently wast- ing his time in conducting “useless” experiments. When Clerk Maxwell mathematically predicted that there are radio waves no one dreamed that some day televisors would be installed in our homes, and when | Roentgen discovered the X-rays no one suspected full with Russia for several years, Japan has not lived up to her duties as an Axis power by fighting against Russia And while the United States has her hands full both in Europe and the Far East, Russia yelps on the one hand for the establishment of a real second front | | that men | plate or parts of machines for hidden flaws. in factories would look deep into armor If a new theory or discovery does not give us new means of diagnosing and treating disease, an airplane or some labor-saving machine it at least changes man's out- look.

But is putting the United States at a great disadvantage in the fight against Japan us to talk across | (Continued trom Page One) form of raw materials, than during the last war, the Under Secreta: stated. Practically all discussion of the| Pritish and Canadian conscrlpucn; programs was significantly deleted | from the record. But Patterson ex- | plained that plans for drafting men in the United States and Great| Britain are worked out by the Com- | bined Chiefs of Staff. “We have| e,” he added. | Majority Leader Alben | Barkley of Kentucky injected one chuckle into thé proceedings when it was revealed that some men with only one eye or one drafted for limited service. While McNarney was being questioned about this, the droll Kentuckian suddenly observed “Lord Nelson was blind in one eye and they say that if he had to look at something he didn’t want to see he always put the telescope to the blind eye.” FDR AND HOOVER Herbert Hoover came in for som?2 rough handling during President Roosévelt’s conference with the leaders of the Big Four farm organi- zations recently Rocsevelt said that eral state- ments Hoover made recently, critic- izing the “mess” the administration made of the food problem and (lvman'hm an ov all food czar, & most provoked him to a public reply. Such criticisms undermine public morale in wartime, the President told his guests, adding: “No doubt Mr. Hoover is getting a lot of glee out of emphasizing the shortages of meat and other commodities, which we all have to put up with in these times.” The President dwelt on Hoover for some time. He endeavorad, while not saying so directly, to get over the point that his Republican predecessor was attempting to mak?2 political capital out of the war pri- vations Roosevelt was in fighting trim all through the conference. The first thing he told the farm group spokesmen was that he was disap- pointed about the “disunity” in farm ranks over price subsidies dies, he said, were necessary both to prevent inflation and to boost the production of vital farm crops. “I'm willing to give and take, Mr. President,” sald James Patton, president of the National Farmers' Union, “but I won't stop arguing on fundamentals. I want to raise my leg had been Subsi- after the war when prices might fall from high war-time peaks. NOTE—Albert Goss, master of the National Grange, made it clear that while he would go along, he favored price support subsidies on a select- ive basis, for certain crops, not for all crops on a general basis. (Copyright, 1943, by United 1 Feature Svndicate Inc.) | afford to operate on a volume basis in dealing with distributors and processors.” Roostvelt agreed that the govern- ment would have to render greater aid to the small farmer. PRESIDENT SURPRISED The President got something of a surprise from other farm leaders at their general approval of the price subsidy program. He has been ying to sell this to the Con- ssional farm bloc for months, without success. The farm leaders now call subsidies by another name, “price support,” but the White Hulhe is not quibbling over names. Regardless of the name, all the farm spokesmen agreed that federal price support subsidies are needed to insure a bumper farm crop next yvear. Even Ed O'Neal, president of arm Bureau Federation, one strongest opponents of sub- concurred O'Neal admitted that such a pro- gram would help to head off in- flation, but he caused the President almost to keel out of his chair by protesting agatnst the American Farm Bureau’s number one battle hymn—higher farm prices.
