In view of these immense reserves of purchasing power, it might be hastily concluded that most of the workers who are losing their jobs as the result of cutbacks in war production are in a position to live off savings for some time to come. Unfortunately, the meager in- formation available concerning the ownership of cash |and bank balances does not warrant optimism as tc the ability of labor's rank and fil= to support a prolonged period of idleness. The greater part of the savings belonging tc held By persons with incomes of more than $5.000. And in the income groups above as well as below the $5000 level, it is thought that savings are concentrated in the hands of a $mall minority | perhaps 10 to 25 per cent of all iridividuals. A special individuals are tudy made by the CIO In cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics idicates that among steel workers (with averaging about $50 per week) | family savings amounted to'$312 on the average Whether thi aving instinct or whether rising living .co: howing - indicates lack of the coupled a with other expenditures growing out of war con- | ditions, is largely responsible for the inadequate resources of the great majority of workers is a ques- tion for separate consideration. Whatever the cause, the concentrated distribution of savings emphas the need for insurance to tide the great majority of demobilized war workers over the waiting period between job: | 1 } Ickes Stays On; Let's Play Up to Johnson | | (Ketchikan Chronicle) | | It's an old rule of the international front; make friends with the enemy of your enemy. the matter of who favors what route and why in | Most of Al Vs citizens are inimical to Secre- condection with the Seattle vs. New York and |tary Harold L.

Of Alaska Last weck Editor Bob Atwood of the Anchorage Times, who said he represented the Alaska Develop- ment Board, took the Seattle Chamber spurning a wire from the Development Board, signed Gruening chairman, and by Governor nest as reputedly declaring the route from Chicago as “in- | dispensable to the future of Alaska.” * Yesterday, a Development Board release, giving the text of the wire sent to Seattle, revealed that the Board is not opposed to the route from Seattle, in fact favors it—providing it does not jeopardize the route from New York and Chicago. In other words, the Board is in favor of Seattle if more than one route to the Orient over Alaska is okayed But also yesterday came a story from Seattle, quoting Governor Gruening being all-out for a Seattle route—but only if one line is given a franchise Thus is just the opposite stand as was presented by Gruening’s Development Board telegram to Seattle But to top it all, it was also announced from Seattle yesterday that Wilbur Wester, Anchorage member of the Development Board, says that the Development Board took no “official stand” on the air route question and will not for 10 days We venture to say that these various statements just Gon't hang together. as to task for | immediate interest is the probability that Colonel Otto | F.

Of more:permanent interest is the position in | which Alasl to enlarge and diversify its economics In this respect, Chairman Jed Johnson of the Interior Department Subcommittee, House Appro- priations Committee, who is an enemy of Ickes, can | become a friend of Alaska.
