" Geological Survey. We suppose the Eek, storm-stricken last week near Cape St. Elias, although a privately- owned seiner, must have once been sailing for the Women’s Division of the Mice Investigation Depart- We really don’t know what she. undertook to prove, but about all that Mrs. Julia Roka St. Clair seems to have achieved by her 1,000-mile wheelbarrow trip from Jacksonville to Detroit is that a woman can push a wheelbarrow for 1,000 miles. Her son rode in feat also shows that a woman can push a wheelbarrow containing a boy for 1,000 miles. If Mrs. St. Clair hoped to achieve some measure »f fame or distinction by trundling a famed Irish vsehicle from one end of the land to the other, she nust have been grievously disappointed, because af nany of the way points she was treated, as she put it, $2480 PER CAPITA? We give Delegate Bob Bartlett plenty of credit for obtaining appropriations of $248,600,000 for Alaska during the recently adjourned Congress. A Congressman speaking at the Chamber of Com- merce meeting Thursday called attention to the fact that, based on a possible 100,000 population for thr Territory, that would be a per capita appropriation from Federal funds of $2480. For which we are duly grateful . But all of us, including Deelgate Bartlett we are sure, realize that the military appropriations for the defense of Alaska were not made to defend 100,000 Alaskans but to defend the 150,000,000 or so people in all of the United States. This, in no way, is intended to disparge Delegat Bartlett’s accomplishment. But let’s be realistic about it. Of course ,a lot of those dollars will dribble back to the individual Alaskan. That is one thing abou our Territory—the population is so small that any additional activity, any additional capital invested in the country, helps greatly. ODDITY It is impressive the way boats are named around the Territory. For instance, the Hygiene travels over ‘inhospitable.” Some police forces seemed to resent the interference with traffic; in other towns the wthorities didn't know what to make of the stunt, »ut regarded it with suspicion. Of course, a wheelbarrow was not designed for ross-country travel. It is a vehicle of immense utility, owever. In fact, it literally helped build this country. “he Irish immigrants of two or three generations ago Jdso had a part in the feat—providing the motive ower—a fact which led to many witty comments. W~e recal] one, by an Irishman, John Clark Molloy {e said many people gave the wheelbarrow credit for etting Irishmen up off of four legs ‘and teaching hem to walk on two. There is no truth in this story, f course. Anyhow, Mrs. St. Clair is where she is going, a ittle footsore and perhaps a bit heartsick. But, as tunts go, we submit that hers at least achieved al iseful purpose—it got her and her son where they vanted to go, which is more than you can say for most flagpole sitting and Channel swimming. We eally think that Mrs. St. Clair missed out on fame or only one reason: She didn’t have a press agent in the wheelbarrow. I the wheelbarrow most of the way, so we suppose the 1 Conscience doesn’t play fair.

In! fact, Murray’s leadership was now being endangered because of his broad-guaged acceptance of the fact-finding board’s proposals for ending the steel strike, which man- agement had rejected. As a result, CIO left-wingers, were yelling for his scalp. 1 Didn't it mean something to the company to be able to do husi—1 ness with a high-class, levelhead- ed, responsible American like Phil Murray? asked Ching. “Well,” this question of contrib- utory pensions is a matter of prin- ciple with us, Blough, ccunsel for U.
