Mr. Neuberger goes to considerable length to | dilate upon the fact that Alaska has the highest per capita liquor consumption of any American sovereignty and that most of Its settlements have more liquor storés and bars than grocery stores, ending his in- dictment with the sage statement that “domination of liquor outlets can prove fabulously profitable.” No Tone “¢an question that statement. It would be as \f:\bulnusly profitable as it is, in fact, impossible. Mr. Neuberger's editorial opinions are in keeping | with the misinformation upon which they are based He appears to seé nothing incongruous in the fact that Alaskan settlements are teeming with liquor stores and bars operating in one of the most highly com- petitive fields in the oconuxmc life ‘of the Territory umd a charge of monopolistic control of retail liquor | outlets.

When giving a luncheon, should the guest of honor leed the wny to the table? e e « | Browne, Big-time money is still pouring into senatorial primaries, the latest to attract attention being the New Hampshire battle between two Re- publicens, ‘®lder statesman Sen- ator Charles Tobey and ex-Senate Secretary Wesley Powell. Powell, an energetic young man who formerly ran the office of New Hampshire's Senator Styles Bridges seems to have an abundance of fuinds to spend in his campaign against Tobey. Yet he resigned from his job with Senator Bridges one year ago, has no law practice, no other important means of sup- port, and has been giving all- his time to campaigning, Where he gets his lugh ¢ampaign chest is not yet ‘known. However, Truman's elese friend. Ed . Pauley once Yowed.'that.he could contrib- ute any amout of money t6 deteat Senatqr, .- Tobey.. s Fhis was. after Tobey led the Senate attack which defeated oil-man Pauley for ap- pointment as Undersecretary of the Navy. - ‘Tobéy maititained that with the Navy buying large amounts of cil, ,dRig 0il..anan .who had. raised thofjsands for the Democratic party, chould not be running the Navy. Also sore at Tobey and reported anxious to unseat him are David Larpoff of RCA, whose operations Tobey once exposed, and the Tex- tron Company, also investigated by Tobey. Meanwhile, Towa's Senator Gill- ette, chairman of a special com- mittee to probe election campaigns, has been requested to investigate New Hampshire. It isn't likely, however, that the likable gentle- man from Jowa will doanything, In ghe first plece, Gillptte is too oing. In the second place Sen@tor Tokey ance trod-on Gil- lett@’s toes in a previous election profje. 'lhl.s as in (1940, when Tobey and’ the late Senator Alva Adams of Eolorado wdnted 'to scrutinize the jcampaign machinations of the Hague machine in New Jersey. However, Senator Gillette was cal- led to the White ‘House and asked to ldy off. Later, he called a meet- ing of his full committee, and, in urging them not to investigate the Hague machine, literally broke down and wept. “Gentlemen,” he said, “you don't know the pressure that I am un- der.” However, Adams went Jersey Senators Tobey ahead with the probe anyway. and New Wasted-Effort Department One Defense Department’s formation ofiice public in- wasles precious ‘of the' minor mysteries of ! the Pentagon Building is why the ' Except to show what expert rhotographers the Defense Depart- ment has, a more useless piece of defense effort has yet to be seen. No New OPA Conscientious Stuart - Symington, who as chairman of the National Security Resources Board now be- comes virtual czar of the civillan economy, has worked out a com- mon-sense scheme for the admin- istration of controls. At least it sounds like common sense on paper, though old-timers have raised eyebrows as to whether .t will really work. What Symington plans is to place the administration of con- rols in the hands ‘of present gov- srnment agencies instead of build- ng up 'hig. bureaus.. For instance, he would have the Labor Depart- ment handle. manpower and labox oroblems} the Commerce Depart- ment handle retail prices, anc oriorities on raw materials; the nterior Department coal, oil, and ] slectric power. The Commerce Department, Sy- nmg!on points out, has 56,000 em- Therefore, instead of cuilding up new bureaucracies, he vould have the Commerce Depart- nent handle all war controls af- ecting business. Experts who handled war rols in the last war agree his is a most laudable idea. How- ever, they point out that out of the Commerce Department’s em- oloyees, 11,000 are scattered around he nation’s airports with the Civil Aeronautics Administration; an- sther large group is with the Coast ind Geodetic Survey; and others are scattered around the country i1s weather bureau observers. And ou can’t do much about prior- ties or price controls when you're sitting in a lighthouse or' seyding 1p weather balloons. Another criticism is that war controls have to be administered impartially and for the best in- ter of all. In contrast, the Lakor Department’s chief function is to champion the cause of labor, therefore it would be handicappid in settling a wartime wage dispute. Likewise, the Agriculture Depart- tm“x-t has always pleaded the cause lul the farmer, might be prejudiced ywhen given the job of prices down.
