That was primary a Republican victory over the administration. PROPER CREDIT Alaskans generally know that if there is one man who is directly responsible for the inauguration of Alaska's forthcoming pulp industry, that man is Re- gional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman. He and the organization which he hex;ds, the Alaska Region of the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, have beén working quietly but steadily for nearly thirty years to achieve this end. The reason success was not attained earlier was due to adverse economic condi- tions and not to any lack of effort on their part. Now,'come some coat-tail riders who are attempt- ing to divert the spotiight of public acclaim in their direction. It in no way detracts from Mr. Heintzle- man’s accomplishment to have the Alaska Develop- ment Board claim credit simply because one of their officials wrote a few letters gnd made a trip to the States to visit some prospective pulpmill operators.

The boyish, tousel-haired HOT ROD But at tne same time that the army is doing all this whining and blustering, it has on its rolls thousands of retired combat vet- crans who would make the finest type of training personnel. These officers were shelved because their battle-incurred impairments do not square with the Army's high, and in some respects archaic, physical requirement for field duty. But the Army's immediate need is not officers for rigorous field duty. It needs officers to train men for such duty. This untapped reservoir of battle-experienced vet- erans is a matchless source for such trainers. These men have been through the mill. Their know- ledge and skill can't be bought for love or money. Their very disabilities give them an added value as an inspiration When Gen. Dwight Eisenhower was Chief of Staff, he saw that clearly. He put through an order allowing disabled non-commission- ed officers to enlist for limited duty in the regular Army. The Navy, today, has an admiral on ac- tive duty, who lost a foot in battle. | But the Army has always been jnane and extravagant in personnel matters. Last Spring when Army brass were shrieking that they did not have enough troops to man combat units, thousands of husky young soldiers were idling away their time doing wholly unneces- sary sentry duty at posts in the U. 8. They were just for show purposes, nothing more. There are bundreds of ‘them doing this sort jurist agreed.

S. tax- payers, but the Department also threw in special purchasing terms. The Greeks were allowed to ‘pay only 25 percent down and given 17 years to pay the remainder. And the debt-loaded Greek gov- ernment had to guarantee the Imortgages on these ships. | Shipping experts estimate the vessels are earning $1,000 a day each for their Greek owners.
