The Heller report, prepared {for the National Planning Association, recommends a flat salary of $25,000 a year for both Senators and Representatives.

In a time as difficult and complicated as ours |—a time in which decisions must be made with the |utmoest intelligence as well as with speed—Congress | simply must break out of its horse-and-buggy pattern. Unless it adapts itself to the modern world, Congress inevitably will continue to lose prestige in the eyes of the people and power in the affairs of the govern- | ment. 1 President Truman’s endorsement of the right to! vote for 18-year-olds reminds some Alaskans that (Cincinnati Enquirer) during the 1945 session of the Legislature a bill was One of the obstacles to ratification of the pro- passed which would enable 18-year-olds to vote in | jected loan to Great Britain is the fear that it may Alaska, providing it was all right with Congress. | become a precedent for many other loans, and that Senator N.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS A salesmen’s “heaven” lies in the almost limitless opportunities that will grow out of the impending per- iod of prosperity. The demand for thousands of products now in short supply will exceed anything this country has ever known. NATIONAL ISSUES Cheaper and less durable houses will go up all over the country in the building boom ahead. The aim will be to furnish quick, inexpensive housing for the countless families now living in one or two rooms, trailers or shacks. They will be built to serve an immediate need, not for posterity. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS There are indications that Brit- ain's troubles in Palestine will in- crease, rather than diminish through the period of postwar world adjustment.
