Since the Federal legislation is merely advisory in respect to the States, threats of court action seem far-fetched. Neverthe- less, the controversy brings out some of the insuperable obstacles to adherence to the veteran reemployment policy outlined in the Federal statute. In this par- ticular instance the job of window washing is now held by a part-time elevator operator, while convicts are doing inside work on the windows. Moreover, Kentucky has recently acquired a Republican Gov- the Business Office of any failure or irregularity in the de- | ernor, who, inheriting the spoils system, has seen to it Mvery of their papers, Telephones: News Office, 602; Business Office, 374.

NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. POSTWAR JOBS Considerable misunderstanding exists as to the value of provisicns of the Selective Service Act mak- ing it mandatory for the Federal Government and private employers to reinstate demobilized servitemen in their former jobs or in positions of like seniority, status and pay. Servicemen who formerly held perm- | anent positions under the Federal Government can | count upon being reinstated, assuming they are still qualified to perform the work assigned them. But| veterans previously employed by State and local gov- | ernments have no legal claim to reinstatement under | the Federal law, which merely declares it to be “the sense of Congress” that such persons should be re-‘ stored to their former positions or pesitions of equal importance. In other words, the Federal Government does not presume to dictate to the States regarding the remployment of veterans, but limits itself to advice. In case of private employers the mandatory provisions of the law are largely vitiated by accom- panying qualifications, Thus the reinstatement of the former veteran is not compulsory, if the “employer’s circumstances have so changed as to make it im- possible or unredsonable to do so.” The misunderstandings and the complications growing out of these reemployment provisions of the Selective Service Act are strikingly exemplified by a Kentucky case now under ‘discussion. The reemploy- terms that could be translated into action. | cance of the Western migration in America; in fact | for such promises. that Republicans are replacing Democrats in State jobs, high and low. Under the, circumstances re- turning veterans who are former State job holders and mostly Democrats are likely to meet with a cold reception. The job turnover has also been heavy in public employment in Kentucky. Hence three or four demobilized servicemen might have claim to the same job. These and numerous other obstacles to the re- turn of servicemen to former civilian jobs need to be emphasized, not out of a spirit of defeatism, but as a reminder that the postwar reemployment problem is going to be much harder to solve than many people imagine. Promises and pious hopes will not provide jobs, nor will public gratitude for services rendered to the Nation by our fighting men. We have yet to grapple with the problem of how to make good on the promises of full employment made to servicemen and displaced war workers. We have so far made next to no progress toward working out a program of action or even defining our objectives in A Point O‘erlooked (Cincinnati Enquirer) In one of our afternoon contemporaries an edi- torial dramatizes the already dramatic and historic westward push of Amefica’s pioneers in the late 1840s. Stressing the individual independence of these hardy migrants, the editorial declares they “asked for no social security;” were willing to take the risks and hardships of their great adventure without benefit of government aid or assistance. It seems to us that the piece missed the signifi- | the significance of most migrations since the human race attained the powers of thought and reason. For most of the individuals involved in these great move- ments—aside from the pure adventures and the ne'er- do-wells—-the driving force was their longing for security—"social” security, if you please. They tore, | their families away from loved ones: they left the ! scenes in’ which they were reared; they braved the! dangers of the trail or the waves of the seven seas. Why? Because they sought to attain for themselves, their ¢hildren and their childrén’s children that| intangible something we—for lack of a better word — call security. ‘They opened new lands because they wanted an assurance that their future would hold in | some degree greater than they had known a guarantee | HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNE 15 Mrs. B.

Labor comes under aspects most encour- aging to workers who are to use itheir power for the good of all the people. HEART AND HOME: Weddings this month will be fewer than pre- viouisly predicted. War will cause postponement of many marriage dates abroad increase in numbers. When the month ends many . families will change their plans. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Election uncertainties will affect certain lines of business, accenting the usual dullness of the warm weather period. Confusion will be apparent among manufacturers preparing for postwar needs but the public will continue to enjoy general prosperity. NATIONAL ISSUES: . To the influence of the sinister planet Pluto are attributed much of the muddled thinkinig and the lack of clearly defined Washington policies. The entire summer will be marked by anxieties and uncertainties that sap the energy of the people. 1 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS On the London chessboard mar quick moves wiil cause much guess- ling among Allles and enemies.| | The explosive power of Uranus will| be evident in Parliament, where there will be heated diseussions re- garding foreign relations.

Dr. Graning was detailed from the | Plague Suppressive Measures Lab- oratories of the Public Health Sery« ice at San Francisco, following a | discussion with that ‘service by Pub- |ic Health authorities in Alaska; in reard to several unfavorable situa- tions and outbreaks of diseases in the Territory. According to local health officers, the Health' Department has for some time been concerned with sud- den outbreaks of diseases that simu- late certain rat-borne diseases. In< terest has also been manifested by opérators of most of the surface transportation companies whose ves~ sels call at Alaskan ports. A meet- ing was held in Seattle by ship owners, representative health auth- | orities of Alaska and Seattle, at which time plans were outlined for the improvement of sanitary condi= tions aboard vessels, including the eradication of rats. Merchants as well as boat operators are cofi= tinuously troubled with claims made bécause of the déstruction of various materials including foodstuff being shipped to Alaska, it is reported. As a part of the plan, inspections of all ships calling at Alaska port$ are being made by the Seattle office of the U. S. Quarantine Service, agreement beétwéen' the operators and naval authorities.

The fretéhwr Oduna was reported a short distance from Nome fighting the ice and fog. With the mining season well under way, several freighteérs had completed "unloading supplies and this was the first time since the founding of Nome that the Coast Guard failed to touch at Nome ehroute to the Arctic. The Bear had always been the first boat to arrive. The usual Goddess of Liberty contest, one of the big features of July 4, was to be changed this year, in keeping with all progressive communities, and there was to be chosen a “Queen for a Day.” Signalizing the opening of the 1824 season, its second since it was first established on Taku River, Twin Glacier Camp was overrun by a local weekend party. While its housing accommodations were greatly taxed by the size of the party, 36 persons making the trip, everything possible was done by Dr. H. C. DeVighne and Mrs. DeVighne to make an enjoyable occasion. This was anniversary day at the Governor's Mansion, three of which occurréd and were quietly cbserved. It was the thirty-seventh | wedding anniversary of Gov. and Mrs. Scott C. Bone and the fifth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. John Ford Starr and the third |anniversary of Gov. Bone’s induction into office as Chief Executive of | Alaska, One of the pleasant remembrances received was an elaborate ‘cnkc, beautifully decorated and of striking design, which reached the Governor’'s House on the last trip of the Admiral Rogers. It was especially prepared under the direction of Steward Dan Noonan. | Mrs. Julia Terhune and daughter Elizabeth arrived in Juneau on the steamer Queen. » | Weather report: High, 50; low, 50; cloudy. e s e Daily Lessons in English % .. corpon et e e e e >~} WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do not say, “I am dry.
