Taylor, a Democrat, “that causes Democrats to wither and die?” In the record, there’ll be laughter in parenthesis, but the next round, we hold is pretty serious. Senator Zales N. Ecton of Montana asked Enge- breth if Alaskans were willing to accept the financial burden of statehood and the certain-to-be passed new taxes. “Oh, yes,” said Engebreth, “we can have a maxi- mum state or a minimum state. We'll get along with a minimum state and contrary to the testimony of other witnesses, I don't feel we'll have to have addi- tional taxes.” y Engebreth didn’t explain what he meant by a minimum state. Is it a state with poor roads, decrepit schools and shabby services? President Vice-President Managing Editor Business Manager Entered in the Post Office in Juneau as Second Class Matter.

They ended the op- posite, After lunch at Fort Ben- ning, the President said: “I'm go- ing to shake hands with all of you. I'm pretty good at it by this tinge.” He demonstrated how he pulled callers through the receiving line. That evening at Eglin Field, Fla., the group dined at the non-com- missioned officers club where Ser- geant James T. Hopkins gave Tru- man a glowing introduction. “That was so good,” replied the President, as he rose to speak, “that T think Il take Sergeant Hopkins to introduce me on my ‘strictly business’ tour through the Northwest.” He referred to his in- spection tour of Grand Coulee Dam. was also presented with the insignia of the Infantry and the Jnfantry motto, “Follow me.” “I 'like that,” said the President. “I'm going to put that on the back of my ‘all-business’ train and maybe I can get a few Republic- an voters to follow me.” Who Can Afford War? At Fort Benning the businessmen saw the equipment for one Infant- ry Division alone, and gasped at its cost—$180,000,000. This is more than the cost of financing the League of Nations for 20 years for 55 nations. In Caesar’s day thc cost of killing one man was only 50 cents. Now it costs $55,000 per man. That's why nations like France havé' decided they cannot afford modern military equipment; also why almost no nation can now afford war. It means bankruptcy. One new weapon carried by U. S. Infantry is a recoiless gun, firing from the shoulder, carrying a dis- tance of five miles with the power of a 75-mm. field artillery cannon. In brief, two infantrymen now carry almost as powerful artillery as hauled by six mules and six men in World War I Equally revolutionary velopments in airplanes. The air force’s F-86, a new fighter, can carry the same bomb load as the B-17, once the chief bomber of World War II. But the B-36, con- sidered the means of carrying the atomic bomb to the enemy, may bt made out of date by a new secret weapon that could knock it out of the skies. Another secret weapon connected with the atomic bomb may soon make it- impossible for Russia to invade Western - Europe. Mean- while, guided missiles are making such progress that the time is not far distant when nations will fire at each other across the Atlantic. There will be no more hand-to- hand combat. were de- Frank State Department Business executives were impres- sed with the frank briefing on U. S. diplomatic policy given them by the State Department’s George Kennan. “The battle for Europe is the battle for Germany,” he said. “And frankly we aren’t doing too w;ll there” Other Kennan brevities were: “When the Stalin-Molotov team was running things, we used to know what to expect in Russia Now we don't know who is running things . . . . Vishinsky is a puppet, not the real Foreign Minister . . . . We must preach some other solu- tion besides war. If we don’t, no third power will follow us . . . .We must try to bring other powers, if possible minor powers, in as lead- ers, so we can play lesser roles.

MERRY-GO-ROUND ....Gal 2.J But no nation ever controlled China, and China may now be the biggest liability Russia has ever assumed.” Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff Omar Bradley was equally frank. When asked, “What hap- pens if Russia takes over Western Europe?” he replied: “If by that you also mean the Mediterranean the answer is nothing. We settle down to a war. of attrition.” “Are we going to abandon Alas- {ka, as some radio commentator predicted?” was another question. The Aleutians, Bradley answered, are not important enough to de- fend. Alaska would be defended from two interior bases.

That, said | the newly chosen moderator of the Presbytery of Alaska, is what we| are doing now. “Me, t00,” exclaimed | Walter Soboleff, Stated Clerk. | It happened in drafting resolu- | tions of tHanks to a most hospitable community, when one of the very| important phases of that hospital- | ity was inadvertently overlooked. Meeting concurrently with the Presbytery, the Presbyterial Society | needed quarters. So, the omcers1 and Pastor of the Juneau Methcdistl church said, “Our latch string is outside. Here’s our church, light,| warm, and inviting. So we invite you to come over and make your- selves at home.” Frequent comment by visiting delegations attested to the fact that the arrangements were appreciated, really. So, when the concluding resolu- tions were drawn and this essential part of the hospitality was unfor- tunately and unintentionally 1en! out, it did not erase the genuine; appreciation for those courtesies. And said Prouty and Soboleff con- cluded they hoped thié public ac- knowledgement would be graciously accepted, and lessen, in a slight de- gree, at least, the deep blush ot embarrassment they’ have been wearing these last few hours. * Take advantage of Spring cleaning Clearance Sale—at Nina’s Nik Nak’s, 89-3t SCHWINN BIKES AT MADSEN'S Crossword Puzzle ACROSS 81 Eucharistio L Collection of plates facts 84.
