An officer of the Interior Department’s Alaska branch had ex- plained that Portland was receiving the lion’s share of these shipments because the cost of moving a locomotive from Seattle to Whittier, 000 more than from Portland. Investigation of this situation in Seattle disclosed that the ship line operating from Portland had of- fered to absorb the handling and “h into its own cperating costs, thereby reducing the tariff charged the government for cargo. When this became known, the Alaska Steamship Company promptly notified the management of the Alaska Railroad that it would have the Portland company, “had we been given equal op- portunity to participate.” The Seattle it proposed to keep in a competitive position on all appeal.” simply don’'t ma sense. a Portland ship- to Alaska much the issue in the been puzzled over erior Department ley Grattan came Alaska, was $2,- ! shipments of government tonnage “to all Alaska and | | not just serving the most profitable ports—an essen- tial for the progress and development of the Terri- tory.” | President | Vice-President f Two thoughts are evoked by this situation. is that government agencies clearly should give all | ship concerns serving Alaska equal opportunity to bid ° ! national, not merely local interest, that government | cargo be transported at the least possible cost.

TRUMAN ASKS AUTOGRAPH President Truman is still getting a kick out of the mistake the poll- sters, predicters and the newspap- er: made in the last election. He particularly enjoyed the recent book by Morris Erns 'he People Know Best"—which dis of the press in the late campaign. “If you hadn't written this book, I'd have written it myself,” Truman told Ernst, when the latter called a* the White House the other day. “It just had to be done” Truman indicated he had read uvery word of the book and thoroughly enjoyed the way the press und predicters were taken apart. “Herbert Foover," rentarked Tru- |tary of State for size, weight, | mun, “told me he had handed out autographs all his life but never asked for one. But I'm one Presi- dent who is going to ask for an autograph. I want yours.” Truman handed a copy of Ernst’s book back to him while Ernst in- inscribed it. HINT GOT FRANCO LOAN Here is the inside story on why Fianco Spain after so many years in the State Department’s doghouse has now been able to get a $25- | 000,000 loan from the Chase Nation- al Bank. The man behind this loan is JPzul Culbertson. American Charge d’Affaires in Madrid. He succeeded in convincing the State Depart- ment that it is absolutely essential to give Franco some kind of econ- omic help or else he will refuse to cooperate in the Allied plans for defending Western Europe. Cul- bertson sent scores of telegrams the | more | ects the mistakes | ‘\‘.nl'ninu that Franco was heading | for serious trouble unless he got dol- |1ars somewhere to buy American meachinery and equipment he need- | ed to keep his factories running. | The problem stumped the State | Department for a while, because it could not risk giving Spain an | American Government loan with- |out arousing a lour protest from Americans who consider Franco very much a dictator. Finally it | was decided to pess the word quiet- ly to the Chase National Bank that it was all right to give Franco a loan. Chase National jumped at the chance, because it's a good busi- | loans of this kind. The State Department, mean- while, 1s sitting back to watch how Franco spends this first loan so it can decide whether to open up the U. S. Export-Import Bank to him for further help. Needless to say, Paul Culbertson is now aces high with Dictator Franco for making {al! this possible. AMERICAN TRIATY KAPUT Sam Reyber, the American rep- I resentative at the discussions for lan Austrian peace treaty, wants to lcome hack home. Reyber has re- iported to the State Department |that, with the conference only three | s old, it's already quite clear the | Russians have no intention whatso- lever of coming to any agreement on Austria. | Thereiore, Reyber has suggested |that rather than waste time furth- ler, he let an understudy take over | his position at the conference while |he comes back to Washington to dc some real work. The State }Dcpartmcnt, however, is still con- jyvinced that the Austrian negotia- {ticns by the Big Four deputies to (the Foreign Ministers now going {or. in London will result in enough ccneessions by the Russians to war- ‘rant a Big Four meeting in New !¥ork in April. Actually, the State ‘\Deparlment is convinced the Rus- {sluns want to pit Molotov | Acheson to try out our new re- height and reach. | BUSINESS BIGGIES IN | WASHINGTON | President Truman has been hold- ! ing some highly important off-the- record meetings with business lead- | ers because of his concern about a possible depression. The second | meeting took place at Blair House secretly last Thursday and those present included W. Canady, head of the Willys-Overland, the motor- car company; Frank Baer, vice president of the Bank of America; !Joe Love, president of Burlington Mills, and Vice President Alben Barkley. Henry Ford, II, was invited, but was prevented from coming by bad flying weather. Grave concern was expressed over Federal Reserve limitations on installment buying which, it was said, were threaten- ing increased unemployment. ; The industrialists told the Pres- ness deal that may lead to more nst ment blocking continued produc- limit on installment buying. ‘Whitehorse . arious Alaska points, We don’t know who asked her to do so, but Betty Ireleased by the Weather Bureau.
