The number of votes cast in Juneau is truly a yardstick for measuring our civic spirit War News (Washington Post) Mr. Palmer Hoyt suggests that the Senate set up a committee to investigate the inept and confusing methods of the armed services and of the Government in handling and releasing war news. The proposal is worthy of adoption. If such an inquiry were conducted along similar lines and in similar spirit to the in- vestigations of the Truman Committee, there would be little or no danger that it would be turned into an instrument of politics. It might also be instrumental in bringing about those reforms that Mr. Elmer Davis has found himself impotent to establish in the face of hostility and intransigeance on the part of the Army and Navy and for lack of support from the White House. 'Mr. Hoyt, it will be remembered, was for- merly domestic director of the Office of War Informa- tion; he is also an extremely capable newspaperman. Thus he may be said to understand both the internal and external aspects of what, it must be admitted, is not an' easy problem. " There is no doubt, however, that people at large are becoming more skeptical and distrustful of of- ficially released or officially censored reports concern-, ing the progress of the war. Major General Surles, head of the Army public relations service, admitted as much a few days ago in his letter to R. A. Roberts of the Kansas Gity Star. “I can sense.” wrote General Surles, “the growing idea that we are endeavoripg to cover up mistakes under the guise of military security, and yet it is difficult to counteract this impressien in view of the fact that the problem is|this configuration for it encourages | Gooege complicated by the need for the theatre commander to use information as a psychological weapon against the enemy and . . . to maintain high morale among Several weeks ago residents of | troops who are in contact with the enemy.” He went | on to explain in the light of those necessities incidents like the Patton affair, the Bari disaster, and the targic error ‘'of the American antiaircraft batteries which Juneau flocked to APRIL 21 Mrs. F.

S. destroyer Corry arrived in port this day and after picking {up an aeroplane engine which had been brought here from Sitka, the ship left again enroute to Dutch Harbor, and was to stop also at Seward to | pick up another engine there. The engines were sent to the two towns flor use by the Army globe fliers and were to be taken further West for the same purpose. The Alaska Packers Association and other canneries engaged in the Alaska fishing industy were deadlocked with the Alaska Fishermen's Association over wages for the season of 1924, leaders of both sides stated. The Third Annual Southeast Alaska School Meet was to start the following day, with nine towns, including Juneau, to be represented. According to a wire received this day by ‘Secretary M. S. Whittier of the Juneau Chambér of Commerce, delegates to the convention of commercial bodies of South Alaska were to arrive on the Alaska and the | convention meeting had been called for April 23, in the Council Chambers {of City Hall. It was expected that representatives from Ketchikan, Wran- gell, Douglas and Sitka, were to be in attendance. M. C. Edmonds and Hawley Sterling, district superintendents for the Alaska Road Commission at Fairbanks and Anchorage, respectively, ar- |vived here on the Admiral Watson for a conference with Col. James | G. Steese relative to the season’s operations. Anderson, local business man, left for Petersburg on a | business trip. | Sam Guyot, Maximum Products representative, returned home after FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1944 .} DIRECTORY MOQUNT JUNEAU LODGE NO. 147 + SECOND and FOURTH Monday of each month + Professional Fraternal Societies Gastineau Channel DR.E.

L ——— NEW AND USED FURNITURE the polls in a number which approximated the “old days" here when 1500 votes were considered few. More than a thousand cast ballots in the city election. Reason for this, apparently, was the milk question. | The Jarge vote was more of a protest against further interference in local affairs by a Federal agency than it was anything else. i The same issue, only stronger, is up again next | Tuesday and it remains to be seen what the response | will be to the recent moves to elect candidates who have been tagged by the Governor and other Federal officials. The municipal election, in which Juneauites cast | more votes than any other city in Alaska, exemplified a wholesome and healthy renewal of the determination of the people to show they can govern themselves | without any help from those higher up. lopened fire on transport planes laden with American troops. He pointed out that the continual harping on personal errors of this sort may dispose the com- manders to caution and timidity rather than to the necessary boldness and enterprise. For, as General Surles observes, these commanders have vastly ghéater responsibilities than any of their critics. ‘The last point is well taken. Still, it seems to us that the responsibility of commanders applies also ‘to the matter of accurate public information. For ex- ample, the great wave of optimism which swept the country a year ago, which was justly deplored by the military, might well have been based on statements intended primarily for troops or for enemy consump- tion. The present wave of skepticism and uneasiness at face value had a purpose other than that of pure | information. | What the Army and Navy have yet to learn, it | props are withdrawn.

At any rate, it is our hope that the fury of battle in the last several weeks has had the effect of con- vincing a large part of Juneau's eligible voters that they should make use of the right to cast ballots next Tuesday The renewal of interest in the people's share in government, started in the recent city election, should | be kept up and made stronger in the primary election R R L don't speak ciliation between Chinese factions. | of propaganda simultaneously.
