GOOD FRIEND LEAV It is with great regret that the people of Juneau view the transfer from this area of Lieutenant Colonel Roy W. Riegle, commanding officer here for a long | time. Prominent in civic and state affairs in his own state of Kansas before donning a uniform for his country, Colonel Riegle, since the day he arrived n“ Juneau, has taken an active, cooperative and helpful | part in local affairs. A courtesy member of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club, he attended meetings religiously and always has been ready and willing to help in all local activities. We're sorry to hear that Colonel Riegle is leaving for duty elsewhere and we wish him the best of luck wherever his new assignment takes him Postwar Housing (Cincinnati Enquirer) Just as God put in a bird the instinet to build a nest he put in man the instinct to possess a home. The war has curbed that instinet, damming up the demand for release like an avalanche after the war This building, y believe, will be a factor in stab- mnng cmplmmu\t in the post-war muod For, not tlenv Go-Round penditures concer year rose 307%." Pointing out th people must tax in theatres, and other amusmeent this only will a great home buildjng program give em- ployment to thousands in th&actual construction of industries that produce equipment and material that go into the building of homes. The backlog of demand built up by the war will create a need for 1,250,000 homes a year for a ten-year period after cessation of hostilities, national .authorities in such matters have estimated. There is no national housing program ready for the post-war period. The present National Housing Agency, which encompasses virtually all the Federal departments that deal with private as well as public housing, is a temporary setup established by executive order which will cease to exist six months after the war ends unless its life .is extended by Congress. A Senate resolution calling for a study of this whole situation with a view to pointing up a recom- mendation as to the kind of Jong term Federal setup there should be as well as a housing program and policy for the nation has been proposed by Senator Robert A. Taft. It is his though that unnecessary obstacles in the way of private home building should be removed and at the same time a practical plan for needed public housing should be provided. How carefully we plan for the post-war building hoom will be an important factor in determining whether we shall have well constructed homes in well planned neighborhoods or whether these dwellings shall spring up in a congested environment Don’t F or;:el Turkey (Cincinnati Enquirer) As the Russians push farther and farther east- ward along the whole of the southern sector of their German line, the possibility of a junction with Allied forces, coming up from the south and southeast, seems | more and more likely. We have heard little from our | armies in Tran and other Near Eastern countries bordering Turkey. But we have learned that we are there, and in force great enough to eliminate the idea that defense alone is the underlying purpose. Spectacular developments in Italy have clonded, for: a moment, the importance of Turkey and her military future. While Rome’s capitulation may have | | pushed Turkey from the freut pages, it has doubtless | the miracles exerted considerable political pressure on the side of those elements which would place Ankara in the war on the side of the Allies. Before the Italian sur- | render there were many reasons for believing that the Turks were ready to cast their lots with us: today | those reasons are more numerous and are stronger. sShould this eventually develop, and should ihe | Turks allow to.England and the United States free passage for troops and war supplies, then a thrust from the southeast would seem almost certain accord- | ing to many military observers. Successes of Russm\ in the southern setor would add strength to such (I‘ houses but it also will stimulate employment in those HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOVEMBER 19‘ H: M: Porter Dr. M. J.

HORGS(OPE “Theé stars incline’ “~ but do not compel” -3 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20 Advérse planetary aspects appear to dominate today. Under this sway, small obstacles may prevent the Jcarrying, out, of -heliday prepara- tions. HEART AND HOME: Disappoint- ing letters ‘may :change plans - for Thanksgiving but «the ‘holiday - will see @ surprising number of. family reunions. - College girls may give up homeward - travel -to -conform: with watime regulations, ' but unexpected gayeties-are foretold for them. There is'p sign readias fortunate for mar- ried ‘men, - dncluding . those .at the war. fronts.. There is a forbidding aspect for romance today when the scarcity of eligible young men will be felt. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: War lm\ demonstrated the difficulties and of transportation, awakening the business world to plan for peacetime development. The stars, which long have presaged |amazing expansion of air lines in postwar times, are read as indicate ing wide interest now, in financial circles, regarding investments in new or in extension of well-estab- lished commercial companies. As| in the past, when the transition| from stagecoach to railway caused | excitement among investors, com-| petition will be keen from this time program With the Reds battling fiercelv along the north- ern beaches of the Black Sea, and with the Allles— possibly aided by Turkey—throwirg vast armies into | the conflict along the western shores, Hitler's forces | in the southeast would be caught in the grip of a giant | pincer which would threaten his European fortress | with quick and complete disaster. This possibility, of course, is just another sl.rm(,‘, to our military bow But it is one which, in (hoso‘ times of uncertainty, may be worrying Mr. Hitler more than all the rest.

S. A. as far as railroad labor is con- cerned is Fred Vinson. Some rail workers. actually think that Vinson must have been paid by the railroad executives to block their demand for a wage increase. BORN IN JAIL What they don't realize is that Vinson has been just as adamant in blocking big business and everyone else who wants to up prices. Also they don't realize that Vinson, born in jail in the mountains of Ken- tucky, has spent his life battling for the underdog Vinson, Senior, was Louisa, Ky.. when the youngster| who later was to become czar of American economy entered the world. Louisa is up in the Ken-| tucky mountains where some people | still carry guns, and where some | of the Judge's friends, iousness, have promised to their Winchesters to Washington if he gets in trouble At Central College, Ky. was.a star baseball player, received | several big league offers, turned| them down to study law, and enter| Congress. He became a Congress- man. at. 33, soon became a leading tax legislator and is the man largsly responsible for increasing taxes in| the higher brackets, and easing them in the lower. Though it hasn’t been featured in | the papers, Vinson.is hated by the big cattle ranchers even more than% by railroad men. For months they tried to prevent his putting a een-l ing on the price of beef. In this,,1 his old friends, War Food Admin- istrator Judge Marvin Jones, Con- gressman Dick Kleberg, world's largest cher, and Assistant Ag- ricultural Secretary Grover Hill— all from Texas—lined up against him Joe Montagu, of the southwest cattle lobby, said to Vinson difference does it make if /meat goes up 10 percent? It only means a few cents a manth to each family.” Replied Vinson: “How jailer at Vinson | small hole in it?" He proceeded to fix & ceiling pu(e‘ on beef.

" After his speech, one banker told Vinson ley Michelson wrote that speech for | you.” But it wasn't meant as a cam- paign speech. Vinson feels what he says, lives it, practices it. And though he may be hated by bankers, cattlemen, oil men, railroad labor and John L. Lewis, it will take the President of the United States him- self to overrule Fred Vinson when it comes to pulling out the inflation plug by even the tiniest bit (Copyright, 1943, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
