Problems of working in the Euro- pean city, on the fringe of the Iron Curtain, were centered in part around the four-power zoning sy tem. The unit was billeted at tti¢ ' Hotel Astoria, in the Internationat Zone; and much of the shootinz was done in this “neutral” zone, though many shots were also made in the American, British and | French sectors. Work in the Rus- | sian zone was not permitted, al- , though the cameraman did secure | some shots by setting up his equip- ment in the adjoining zone and shooting into Russian-supervised | territory. THESE DAYS M T A GEORGEF E. SOKCLSKY A NEW ORDER OF YOLITICIAN It used to be ularly when an election approached. | It is true that in some of tle larger ci‘es, the bosses were care- less in matters of money hones yet they generally developed a delicacy of projecting their per- sonalities, so that the externals of decency were sharply outlined, like the frock coats they wore. Nowadays, Ha. Hopkin's gen- eral assumption that the people| are dopes pervades t political | atmosphere. I was discussing such | a matter recently with a woman who gives the impression of telligence and yet who, in spite of Teheran and Yalta and too much else to cite in one article, insists| that Franklin D. Roosevelt was a| truthful man in his rclauunship' to his own people. The recurdl does not count with such a person, because for a highly cultivated civic responsibility has been sub- stituted the much decried fascist concept of the elite. Historical objectivity is replaced by the great man cult. In a word, too many Americans for the good of this country wor- ship human beings, the heroes of the era, who, to them, represent the thought that whatever such men do, good or evil, must have a right reason or they would not have done it. Such a concept of the political leader is closer to that held by the Nazi, who accepted Hitler im- plicitly, than to the American as- /| sumption that all men are equal | ,befure the law. Yet those who! hate Hitler the loudest, follow the |Nazi doctrine in relationship toj Roosevelt and to his circle. They acknowledge an elite which most | 'Americans have been taught to . reject. Passing over the question of| Roosevelt, the attitude is bad in| ja free country because it exalts Ian elected or an appointed official ! beyond our oncept of the rela-| tionship of the people to their employed and paid servants, the officials, For instance, such office-holders The personnel of the unit, includ- | that peliticians | were afraid of the people, pariX-| THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA as Oscar Ewing, Charles F. Bran- nan, and such a congressman &as Frank Buchanan forget that they are not leaders but servants; that they were not chosen to impode their concepts and will upen the | people, but to submit to popular |responses. It must be the people {who decide. It is their country; they pay the taxes. They vote. Perhaps the difficulty arose from Mr. Roosevelt's assumption that a |ccllege degree and affiliation es- tablished a man as an expert. ¥his has never béen true anywhere and ’cer(mnly it has not been true in | this country where the widest ex- | perience is often the product of |the give and take practical oper= |ations. Many of our most fruitful | citizens were not college men, but |came out of the factory and busi- ness. I s, under Roosevelt, a vast number of theoreticians were given {not only employment but rank | nation. Harry Truman has tended to be equally dependent upon such persons, an example being Lebn Keyserling, who makes up the Pres- idential mind on economic ques- tions, a field in which Keyserling's validity is regarded by many as dubious, The person of practical experience finds himself so com- pletely nonplussed by the notions and operations of these doctrinaire personalities that he either leaves them to their own devices or falls before them without resistance but with much sulking. Curiously, our ucw type of offic- ial is acting mcre like a German official than like anything that has been known heretofore in the An- glo-Saxon world. They sense them- lves as masters, probably because | they have been so long in office. When eur officials felt that their tenure was tentative, they were restrained by their responsibility | to the people. They checked. They had their ear to the ground. Today the official calculates what | device may be made attractive, no | matter how false or harmful, and ")'!havmg projected that, he sets out | to demand its acceptance. Should Congress reject him, he regards it |as a personal attack, although un- der our constitutional system, the bureaucrat is only hired to carry forward the will of Congress to the | letter of the law. | There is a lack of propriety in all this which surely comes from the initial hero-worship of ihe President and a respect for his office beyond constitutional require- men's. Wheh a nation adulates its so-called great men, it weakens ifs apparatus of control over its offfc- ials. ENGLISH GIRL RETURNS HOME TO LONDON VIA ALASKA AND MEXICO Seattle is a long way from Lon- don and when Miss Barbara Snook | left Chislehurst, Kent, a year ago to do an exchange teaching job in Seattle she wondered how it could be happening to her. For the last year she has been teaching art in Queene Anne High Scheol, Seattle. Now, her teaching over, she is returning home—by way of Alaska and Mexico. She is go- ing to see all she can of America before boarding her steamer for England in New York late in Aug- ust. A passenger to Alaska on the Princess Louise, Miss Snook ve- mained in Juneau over Sunday, chartered a plane for the ice cap trip, spent hours in the museum talking to Curator Edward Keith- ahn to learn as much as she could |about Alaska and its lore, then was a Pan American passenger to Seattle Monday. She will be glad to returr. to her home—but would like to be an ex- | change teacher another year, “The size of your country am- azes me,” she said looking at a map of Alaska. “Here I have traveled for days and have only seen this little bit of southeast Alaska. I would like to see it all.” DREDGING . PROGRESSES AT SMALL BOAT HARBOR An advance of approximately 100 feet since Saturday in the dredging of the small boat harbor was made Monday. It is expected that another three or four days will see the comple- tion of work between floats one and two. The next srea to be cleaned will be on the south side of float one. That between float two and three has already been completed. STANLEY HERE H. H. Stanley of Anchorage Iis stopping at the Baranof Hotel. | and power, to the confusion of the | High-BallsLi Sockeye salmon from the prolific Situk River, near Yakutat, will be canned this season in Pelican, through arrangement between Lib- by's and the Whiz packing com- panies. The Yakutat cannery will remain closed. The season opens there July 1- which, it falls on a Saturd and the week<end closing law still holds—means that fish may be taken from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. that day and that's all until Monday. as Last year the season began June 10, with this year’s opening de- layed to allow the early run to esc: years have been decreasing rapidly, according to Clarence Rhode, head of the Fish and Wildlife Service. Up to yesterday the counting weir there had taken a census of 18,000 salmon having gone upstream already, which mean a start on rehabilitation has been made al- ready, Rhode said. If the season had been opened as usual, not more than 3,000 would have gotten up to spawn, he be- lieves. All Varieties One of the oldest and best fish- eries in Alaska, the Situk spawns every variety of salmon-—reds, pinks, | kings and large cohoes. Each spawns in a different place: the reds in an upstream lake, the pinks in pools in the river, the kings in tributaries and the cohoes find still another spot—which has re- sulted in the Situk’s being one of the finest fishing grounds cver found Canning activity there has been 2o0ing on since before 1900. The Yakutat and Southern Rail- road, incidentally, built to bring fish into the cannery, is steaming like the New York Central, despite the fact the cannery isn't operating Hi-Ball! Rhode said there's so much traf- ic tooting along its rails that care nust be taken not to have a col- ision. The Civil Aeronautics Ad- m:nistration, the Army, and Lib- ay's each have its own motor equip- LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS FORM INFO PANEL ON U. N. A program of explaining the func- tion and intricate machinery ot the United Nations to all interested parties was decided upon today at the last-of-the-season meeting of the League of Women Voters held in the Terrace room of the Baranot Hotel. From what was scheduled as a regular educational discussion - of the United Nations intended for its women members, the group found itself discussing a timely subject, the mechanics of the international body which today is caught in a major struggle for life or death. Today's meeting was under the chairmanship of Mrs. Ernest Gruen- ing, who outlined a 1950-1952 infor- mation program to be undertaken by this non-partisan league, Mrs. Gruening specified three major items c usidered by the na- tional women’s group to be perti- nent to current political thinking. They are: 1. The expansion of world trade and economic develop- ment with a maximum use of United Nation machinery. 2. A con- tinued analysis of the federal bud- get. 3. Reorganization measures aimed at streamlining of the fed- eral government machine. Mrs. Gruening then turned the program over to Mrs. George Me- grath who, with the assistance ot elaborate materials supplied by the league’s national organization in line with their country-wide pro- gram, spoke on “What's going on 1n the United Nations.” Before adjourning for the sum- mer months, the group arranged to hold a special meeting July 28, at which time they will entertain Mrs. Irene Sweeney, representative ot the national office of the League D.C. Mrs. Sweeney at that time will be’ making a Territory-wide trip to the chapters of the League telling what is going on in the na- | tional scene. . Yakutat & SouthernR. R.

In order for one outfit to start rolling, it must obtain clearance so as not to have a run-in somewhere along the nine-mile narrow gauge track with someone else. | Sports Booming ‘: Sports fishing is booming in the area, too, Rhode Said. Numerous | notables from throughout the (‘()\m-] | try have centered on the Situk to| | get their salmon, and he's noticed |quite a bit of “jigging” has in- | jured considerable fish, and while| not yet a serious condition, it has' caused his men some worry—be- cause an injured fish won't spawn, | even though it can still swim up-} | stream | At Dry Bay, miaway between | Yakutat and Mount Fairweather, kings are coming in large this| season, he said. Considerable sock- eyes have been taken incidentally, he said, and arc running about 10 to 11 fish to the case so far. The fishery there, running now a month, is supported by a floating cannery, the first time this h: been tried in that area Moose Coming In Rhode said that inhabitants there women’s] duty was at Nome.

Incidentally, Rhode got the ser- vice's big Beechcraft plane back to' Juneau in good shape, after being! grounded in Yakutat by water in the engines. Returning from An-| chorage, he landed at Yakutat to pick up men who were there to put in- a weir, but couldn't take off—so everyone had tqQ return via Pacific Northern. HANSEN, APPLEGATE ARE TRANSFERRED, SEATILE ACS OFFICE After two years’ duty at the Ju- neau station, Alaska Communica- tions System, Capt. S. C. Hansen and Lt. Delbert P. Applegate have been transferred to headquarters office in Seattle. Captain Hansen, sector * com mander, will leave Juneau August 6 with his wife and children—Gary, | 12, and Christine, 7. His entire ACE career has been “off and on” in Alaska, and he has served in everj part of the Territory. He will be succeeded by Capt Melvin \A.
