If work is started soon enough and Jocal labor is donated it is possible, we understand, to accomplish this feat at a minimum of expense. This would indeed give the celebration something to attract people from all over Southeast Alaska and elsewhere to Juneau's celebration. Fairbanks has its Winter Carnival and Anchorage has its Fur Rendezvous. There is no reason why Juneau shouldn’t become known for having the best Fourth of July attraction in the Territory, and this can be accomplished if it is made an all-year job. (Cincinnati Enquirer) 1t is fortunate, no doubt, that the mysterious flying discs reported from the West Coast, Arkansas, and even locally, did not make their appearance in wartime. What we do not understand, we tend to fear, or to interpret in the most disturbing way possible. Had these strange objects come hurtling through the skies shortly after ‘he Japenese balloon raids, one can conceive of serious civil commotions resulting from the hysteria of suspicous and gullible people The objects are variously described as to size, speed and shape. Some call them saucers. Others estimate them to be the size of washtubs, only not so capacious. (he Washmglun | "retary,” he said.

However, an airplane nowadays can look like almost anything. It no longer needs to have propellers. It does not necessarily have a fuselage. It may not have | two wings. And there are missiles, in these frighten- | ing times, which look like fuselages but have no wings. | Of course these flying things may really be saucers. But the throwing of chinaware, a well-established practice among bad-mannered people, is almost always |un;ms(1u! It is done with a human or other target in view, and customarily in the hope that a shattering, shing result will give the thrower some relief from | But sin | witne: | mis nervous tension The saucer theory is definitely untenable Naturally, we have our own theory. We believe these flying discs are in fact San Francisco manhole covers, thrown into the skies by explosions accompany- | ing the San Francisco earthquake. They were thrus{ beyond the gravitational pull of the earth, and wand- ered for 41 years. Then for reasons too technical to explain in a short editorial, they came back to the scene of their crime. Their silvery appearance, being less technical, can be explained. They acquired a silver plating from passing through so many clouds all of which — as everybody knows — have a silver lining It is our earnest hope that this simple scientific explanation will bring to an end the extravagant and harmful speculation which has o upset the country. Law of the Land (Washington Post) The democratic process can operate only long as the decisions reached through it are respected. There have been one or two expressions in Congress of fear that the Taft-Hartley Law may be sabotaged by those who resisted its enactment—through labor union defiance from the outside or through admin- istrative fumbling from within the Government. We think such fears are quite groundless. So far as the Government is concerned, they should be entirely set at rest by the statements issued rzcently by President Truman and later by the members of the NLRB, the agency most intimately involved with effectuation of the new law's policy. The President pledged himself to “see that this law is well and faithfully admin- istered” and said that appointments under it would be made “with the same objective.” “Yesterda the board members, “the Taft-Hartey bill was pro- posed legislation. Today it is the Labor-Management Relations Act, the law of the land. The people’s representatives have spoken, the debate is over so far as this board is concerned . Effective June 24, 1947, this board will prepare to give the new act th2 fairest and most efficient administration that lies within its power.” The character of the three present NLRB mem- bers makes the sincerity of this statement unques- tionable. Senator Ives, one of the leading proponents of the new law, is a long-time fellow worker with Paul Herzog, the Labor Board chairman, in the field of labor relations. As Republican chairman of a New York Senate investigating committee he conducted a study of the State Labor Relations Board, then headed by Mr. Herzog, a Democrat. Speaking of Mr. Herzog, Senator Ives said the other day, “He is of the type who will do his utmost to see to it that the law is carried out fairy.” Here, as well as in New York, Mr. Herzog has learned the tribute. Labor and management alike can have full confidence that the NLRB under his leadership will apply the new law with the impartiality indispensable to its successful operation. to” various charzes made during | the meeting—the {urthest he would | go—did not satisfy his callers.

European the- ater commander General Lucius Clay, he said, is “strictly a Gene; not a politician. He has a ‘zone complex.” He's out to do the very pest job he can in administering the American zone. He has no pol- itical viewpoint.” Marshail replied also to com- plaints that former President Hoov- er and John Foster Dulles have too much to say about the policy in Germany. He laughed when 81- year-old Adolph Sabath sputtered that Hoover was “dominating” our policy in Germany “Judge Patterson War) urged that assigned to study situation,” Marshall said. “It was frankly a political move based on the eling that Hoover would car- ry great weight with the Republi- can Congress. “Mr. Hoover went mainly to work on the food prob- lem, and while he was there he met cn his own with German in- | dustrialists and with representa- tives of American business who were in Germany. It was on the basis of those conversations that he brought back his recommenda- tions regarding the revival of Ger- man industry.” Marshall made Dhttle (Secretary of Mr. Hoover be the European over there cocmment on Dewey's foreign affairs adviser Dulles, beyond a reference to Dulles’ influence with the Repub- lican Congress “Mr. Hoover and Mr., not running the State Dulles are Department rebuilding of Marshall was reminded, is Paul H.
