NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg. Seattle, Wash. Saturday, January 13, 1951 POINTLESS THEFT Whoever stole the Stone of Scone from the cor- onation throne in Westminster Abbey committed one of the most pointless thefts on record. It is difficult to imagine what possibly can be done with an object that loses its intrinsic value the moment it has been removed from its accustomed setting. Granted that the stone rightfully belongs to Scotland and is the symbol of Scottish nationality. Suppose it turns up there, as it probably will some day. ‘What then? Would the English resort to force of arms in order to get it back in the event that the Scots refuse to return it? We rather think not. They have acepted the stone as a part of the tradition associated with the coronation of their monarchs be- cause their fathers before them did, and their fathers before them, and so on down the centuries. The theft is interesting only as a well-executed crime can be. It must have required no little skill to remove a 336-pound weight from the throne and to carry it out of the presumably carefully guarded Abbey without detection. As we said above, how- cevr, we have no idea what the thieves think they are going to do with the thing now that they have it, except bury it somewhere so that the English can- panic among parents in different parts of the States. We were proud of the fact that Alaska had never had a case of polio. Last fall polio struck from the Arctic coast to Ketchikan; few towns did not have a case of this dread disease. Sitka was extremely fortunate in that polio did not occur here. Since the middle 1930's the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has conducted an annual cam- paign in January to raise funds to provide care for polio victims and to finance a resarch campaign. Alaskans have more or less taken this drive as another means of contributing a small amount of money for the welfare of residents of the States; but this year we realize our small donations have been returned to Alaska many fold during. the time of need these past months. This year, more than ever, money must be found to carry our share of the burden of fighting this disease and caring for its victims. The luke-warm attitude of “it can't happen here” has been rudely shattered. When the March of Dimes campaign opens here January 17, it behooves everyone to contribute generously so that adequate funds will bé available this coming year to fight polio which appears likely | to occur again in the Territory. For What Purpose (Anchorage Daily News) A meeting of the Alaska Statehood Committee has been called to “study all phases of the com- mittee and submit a chart for statehood to the consti- tutional convention.” It is strange that the Statehood Committee for which $80,000 was appropriated from a hard-pressed Territorial budget, should all of a sudden need to be called in session at this time. . It is doubly strange, indeed, when it is recalled that only last spring the Statehood Committee, with- out benefit of meeting was able to accept $25,000 of unfrozen funds from the Territory and proceed to use it as it saw fit—in that instance, for hiring a pro- pagandist at a fee of $8,000 to lobby in Washington for the passage of ill-fated H.H. 331. We all well remember the machinations that so blithely spent that amount of tax funds for apparently nothing. Certainly if the Statehood Committe had the could spend funds with no strings attached without having held a meeting, a gathering of the group now, is highly uncalled for. | There is no business yet in connection with aid to a territorial convention for which it was estab- | lished. There is not even authority from Congress | yet to call a constitutional convention in Alaska. It is high time the Statehood Committe, set up to aid the original statehood bill, be dissolved. It's members were hand-picked by an appointive governor | which means that its members are actually picked by the Interior Department of Washington. Let this | statehood committee resign, and let us have a new | committee under the Territorial act, chosen by a joint | session of the Territorial Legislature. to have it. Something to Think About (Daily Sitka Sentinel) People in Alaska for years have felt safe from the threat of poliomyelitis which has periodically created In applying for a divorce, a Western woman told | the court her husband had given her a black eye 50 times during the past year. “I don't believe he loves me,” she said. That's just like a woman—| always jumping to conclusions. QUITLOOK OF. FiSH MARKET, 3 MONTHS IS BRIGHT ONE!: --~2saNGTON, Jan. 13— & — ‘the U. S, Fish and Wilidlife Ser- vice forecasts a “moderately ac- tive” market for edible fishery pro- Cucts during the first three months | cf 1951, Ralph Russell, Service analyst, cdvised the industry in his quarter- 1y outlook report that prices in general will be “fairly firm to ttronger.” Lent is early this )‘earfFvbruaryl 7 to March 25—and that will increase the demand for fish, Rus-l cell said. Some of his findings:{ Markets for fish oil, active; for meal, moderately active, for liver oils, weak, Production of fishery products— normal for the season, reaching the low points for the year in February, but increasing as the quarter closes. Cold storage stocks of fishery pif.qucts—“heavier than normal, but not generally burdensome.” Exports of fishery products—less than normal. Imports—will continue at a high level, except possibly for canned tuna, of which they may be a tem- porary decrease because of a tar- ifi hike effective Jan. 1. Cold storage stocks of fish and shellfish Dec, 1 were 164,000,000 pounds, slightly less than they were a year earlier. Canadian cold stor- age stocks totaled 58,000,000 pounds, 4,000,000 more than a year earlier. Imports in the first nine months of 1950 were 444,000,000 pounds, about one-third more than in the comparable period of 1949. Exports | of edible fishery products during the first nine months were almost 68,000,000 pounds, one-fourth less than during the same period in 1949. ONE PROPOSAL BY TRUMAN BLASTED; ANOTHER PRAISED WASHINGTON, Jan. 13— @ — Congress members today coupled sharp criticism of the Administra- tion’s handling of the wage-price problem with praise for President Truman’s stiff tax-boost call. One of the strongest blasts at the wage-price control issue came from Senator O’Mahoney (D-Wyo), chairman of the Senate-House Ec- onomic Committee, who usually is an enthusiastic supporter of White “Jouse policy on such matters. He declered the economic repoit which Mr, Truman sent to Con- gres yestor. “gontains appalling OLD TIME PHOTOS IN SNAP SHOPPE evidence of the progress of infla- tion” but.«'no.record of any posi- tive steps taken as yet to hold | the line against inflation.” O'Mahoney called for immediate | and general wage-price controls THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA iy January 13 Jane Adams Mrs. D.

The annual roll call had just been compleetd, exceeding its quota by 150 members.

The troller Lois had left this day from Ketchikan for the Perey Island group where | fishermen had found wreckage of Renahan’s plane. At Prince Rupert, Mrs. Renahan, who had held stoutly to the belief that her husband {had survived relinquished hope he still lived. Pilot Anscel Eckmann, | friend of Renahan, who had kept up a search for the missing fliers | was held at Ketchikan by bad weather but planned to fly to the Percy | Island group as soon as possible. | P Through the Connors Motor Company, inc., Oliver Olson of Juneau had received the first of the 1931 Buick sedans to arrive in the city.

Alois Plojhar, minis- ter of health, said there is one doctor to every 554 inhabitants in some parts of Prague, the country’s capital. But some country areas have only one doctor for every 6,000 inhabitants. So doctors, who are controlled by the nationalized health service, can expect re-deploy- ment orders, he said.
