The announcement in yesterday scuttling of the Alcoa project in the Skagw: has aroused the ire of the townspeople of that “Gate- way to the Yukon.” They ask wh of American dollars in Canada, instead of the Alcoa project, making it necessary to purchase aluminum from Canada.

They recill how President Roose- velt increased unity before Pearl! Harbor by bringing two leading Re- publicans—Henry L. Stimson and Frank Knox—into his cabinet as Secretary of War and Secretary of tht Navy. And while there is not too much pedonal \nthusiasm about Governor Dewey in Demo- cratic circles, he is redognized as a man of real ability and deep sincerity as far as his country is concerned. Furthermore, it is believed that Secretary of State Acheson would be glad to bow out in favor of! Dewey in the interest of national | unity, Acheson and Dewey have been conferring privately for the last six months, and several times, Dewey has come to Acheson’s sup- port. Finally, Acheson had private- ly hoped to leave the State De- partment, though he does not want to do so under fire. Naval Comeback - It was just about a year ago| that the most harassed and criti- | cized man in Washington was cretary of the Navy Francis Mat- thews. At that time, up rms over one 1 had Captain Cr gn- | ing for per airplane carrier A ‘secret propaganda agency in the | the ad un to fral were ation and relieyed be in was cam a Navy was shating out malice | against the air forces. And Mat- | thews was branded as a fresh- water executive from Omaha whose knowledge of shipping was confined | the Missouri | to mud scows on River. However, the political pendu- Jum has a habit of swinging into Washington, and today Matthews is riding the crest of the wave. Secret of his comeback was keep- img quiet, being a good sport and working closely with the efficient new executive whom he picked to| be chief of naval operations—Adm | Forrest Sherman. Today the Navy has scored some real triumphs in the Korean ar, especially the evacuation of Hun | to ma | vative | greed with those colleagues, he rallied to their support at election time—even making a speech against his close friend, Demo- | ed States may not survive—if west- pro-labor Senator from Oregon, has waltzed out into the political arena e speeches for his conser- anti-labor GOP colleagues. No matter how much Morse disa- cratic Sen, Paul Douglas of Illin- ois, in favor of the Chicago Tri- bune’s candidate, Curle Brooks. Now, however, Morse says “no more.” Failure of Republican lead- ers to put Morse on the important G ‘g’umy Committee of the Senate was too much. “They need not think they can get me to campaign all around the country for reactionary candidates,” he told friends, “and then discio- line me in the Republican con- ference by not putting me on the Policy Committee. I" supported my last reactiona Republican and they can lump it. When the new policy committee was announced at a closed-door caucus, North Dakota's Sen. Bill Langer snorted: “I protest this kind of a committee with no progressives on it, I think Morse should be on it. You expect him to cam paign for you, but when it comes to recognition here, you pass him By Capital News Capsules i Beef Ban—The American people were about to get some extra meat last week at cheaper prices when the telephone rang in Secre Brannan's apartment telling him that the first case of hoof-and mouth disease in 13 months had broken out at Colmalteco, Mexico. With hoof-and-mouth disease on the down grade, Brannan had been all set to lift the ban against Mex- ican beef. As a result of that phone call, however, Mexican cat-! tle must still be banned ‘and the| price of beef will continue high. U. S. Survival—Army Chief . of Staff Gen. Joe Collins warned the Senate Armed Services Committee behind closed doors that the Unit- ern - Europe falls into Russian hands. Warning that Russia would turn Europe’s industrial warmak- | ing power against us, Collins de- clared: “If Russia overruns Emo]w.‘ it not only would make it more | difficult for us tc defeat Russia,! but I think it is donbtful whether we weuld survive that struggle.” i | | Football and Pc | | Oklahoma University'’s Bud Wilk- | inson, recently selected as football “coach of the year,” proved him-| self as good a quipper as a coach at a testimonial luncheon by Okla- | homa Congressmen.
