NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg.. Seattle, Wash. — Wednesday, December 20, 1950 FRANK A. BOYLE It is difficilt to adjust thoughts to an Alaska without Frank Boyle, auditor of Alaska, who died in Juneau Friday For so many years, Mr. Boyle has had such an important place in the affairs of the Territory and his influence has been so wide, that his loss will be keenly felt. He has served in office longer than any other elected official of the Territory. Five times, Frank Boyle was elected auditor of Alaska and the last eighteen years of his life have been devoted to his duties in that office. And his duties were more than Auditor. As Audi- tor, he was also a member of the Board of Admin istration, the Banking Board and the Board of Budget. He was also Insurance Commissioner and, until 1949, was Commissioner of Vital Statistics. Speaking for the Board of Administration, Act- ing Gov. Lew M. Williams said Saturday, “The board deeply regrets the passing of Mr. Boyle, a fine man Prestdent Vice-President Managing Editor | the GLO in Wyoming before that time.

The city has realized that some- thing must be done to prevent the dogs becominz more of a nuisance, and from injurying small chil- en as they have done recently. Kodiak, however, loves its dogs, or it wouldn't have so many. So we hope that the owners of the pets will get them licensed, keep them at home where they belong, and remember Butch's warning of 1945 but be Otherwise the hounds will not take over the city the dog pound instead, and what would Kodia without dogs? The cost of war is rising so fast that perhaps before long we shall have worldwide peace for the simple reason that no nation could afford to fight a war—win, lose or draw. Either way, it seems our big cities are doomed. If they aren't blasted off the map by atomic bombs, they will die slowly of strangulation caused by traf- fic congestion. | and jelly beans and an outstanding public servant.” Few men have spent as many years office in Federal and Territorial service as Mr. Boyle He first came to Alaska for the General Land Office in 1911, though he had served as a Today's couplet: We praise the bee who works with zeal, for he makes honey we | in high can steal. | Many a person is never busier than when en- special agent for lgaging in something that's none of his busines The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) any move which would bring on' world war III, and he was opposed to MacArthur's troop movements near the Manchurian border after - it had been agreed that we would keep a 40-mile neutrality zone this side of Manchuri War Can Be Averted Secretary Marshall points out— and it's no secret to the rest of the world—that we are in no position to fight world war III and cannot be for at least a year. He also be- lieves that if we live through the next 12 months without war, there is a chance of averting it alto- gether. That is the reason Presi- dent Truman’s recent speech em- phasized that peace, not war, is our goal. Though Marshall and Acheson are warm friends and worked to- gether in the State Department, Acheson is perhaps the most mili- tant non-appeaser in the adminis- tration—perhaps the natural re- action to unfair attacks against him as a Commie sympathizer. Acheson has proposed a Naval blockade of the China coast, urged the bombing of Chinese cities, and favors keeping a military bridge- head in Korea. These measures were opposed by Prime Minister Attlee during his recent visit, and are also opposed by top U. S. miliy tary men. Three Rearmament Dangers These military men warn against three dangers in the present re- armament period: 1. Politicians who clamor for all- out military aggressiveness. Gover- nor Dewey’s speech was regarded by the Pentagon as too aggressive, though it was secretly encouraged by the State Department, 2. Military men who clamor for a preventive war. General MacArthur is placed in this category. 3. State Department officials, cluding Acheson, who insist aggressive action. Note—Military chiefs point to another domestic danger in connec- tion with rearmament — namely, drafting too many trainees before the army has enough camps and training officers. Secreta Marshall wants to move just as swiftly as possible but only as fast as the military machine can absorb men and weapons. He hopes for a steady 365-days-a-year preparedness, not a lot of quick hullabaloo followed by lethargy. in- on Behind the RR Strike Inside fact is that President Tru- man was warned weeks ago of a railroad strike unless John Steel- man, his genial White House aide, brought unlon and management together.

The operating | railroad employees had been two years without a pay hike, while' 1,000,000 non-operating workers for| the same bosses had what amounted | to a 20 percent raise. In the five; months of government manage- ment of the roads, Steelman had yet to bring the union heads and railroad presidents together in the same room. When the Presiaent asked Morse what he would do, the ex-chairman of the war labor board replied: “I'd do exactly as I did in the 1941 dispute—bring both sides into, a hotel room and keep them there until they get together. It took me 69 hours, but we settled it. You need a good mediator, one that both sides have faith in. A strike 1is not justified, but you're going to have one as sure as shooting unless Steelman produces something.” senn’s Hospital Mrs. Willis Jame: and baby girl, Leo L.

Mr. Truman’ reply was, “talk to John (Steelman) about that.” Note 1—Union chiefs who have been living out of suitcases in Washington hotels for weeks are privately burned up at Steelman. One of them said bitterly: “Steel- man has told Mr. Truman there was great progress and a settlement was in sight, when all we've had is an offer to raise pay five cents an hour, if well sign a three no-strike contract. We haven't even seen a railroad president, nothing but lawyers and clerks. Steelman told the President a few days ago] we had agreed not to strike. That was not true.” Note 2—There is a backstage i move to ease Steelman out as med- ;m.»r and bring in a really top- flight labor conciliator like Cy Ching or Mrs. Anna Rosenberg. | Sewing macnines for rent at the White Sewing Machine Center. 642-ti | ACROSS Mounta L confritde ountains {n the Rockies .
