Seattle, W in American literature. His reason is that Russian propagandists, as he says, spare no effort to use American writing for their own ends. This probably is true enough, says the Cinéinnati Enquirer. The favorite American writers in the Soviet Union are Howard Fast, Upton Sinclair, Jack London and Theodore Dreiser, all some degrees to the left of center. In fagct, Dreiser joined the Communist party before his death. These are just the writers that one would expect to be popular with the Russians— by permission of the Ministry of Education (or what- ever it is called). Books by American or any other writers who happened to be unfriendly to the Soviet Union hardly would be allowed to circulate freely where thought is so tightly controlled. What is significant is the fact that the Russians are evincing an interest in our literature even if it does not represent our best. Some of the books by the authors mentioned have sold copies up to 10 millions, which means that they have been read by even a greater number.

More con- ferences followed, out of which was finally evolved the $400,000,000 arms bill okayed by the Italian parliament last week. Money Wasted By Army The new Italian arms bill can bring about a complete end of C(,mmumnm here, provided Italy is to get all-too-scarce steel, aluminum and copper from the ed States, For the new pro- am should reactivate the north- 1 automobile and tank factories, ve been virtually idle since r, and wipe out Italian un- loyment — the chief cause* of Communism.

In fact, Pac- ciardi quietly appealed to Arierican military advisers to pres- sure him for these economies. This illustrates in Italian bureau- cracy something which would make Senator Byrd faint. Commerce Minister Ivan Matteo Lombardo, commenting privately on this bureaucrack, once remarked: “I have 13 stenozraphers. If I could fire all but three of them I could get some work done, but with 13 they just get in eact? other’s way.” This bureaucracy has piled up so many government servants that 86 per cent of the social insurance raid in by the workers goes to pay for government administration. 1 neatedly, since the war, ihe| V.. -ers have had their premlumj‘ | payments for social security raised‘ but not once have their insurance benefits been raised. The increase goes to pay bureaucrats’ salaries. | Gervasi's Work Effective A few weeks before General Eisenhower’s scheduled visit to Italy the walls of Rome were covered with posters reading: “Ike, go home,” plus other uncomplimentary remarks too filthy to be repeated here. Obviously this was the work of the Communists, but since the walls of Rome are the television sets of the Italian people the posters had their effect and nothing was being done to counteract them. Finally, while the American em- basy hesitated, Frank Gervasi, the live-wire chief of ECA information, got busy. He organized a commit- tee of pro-American Italians which, working backstage with the ECA, concocted some of the most effec- tive posters ever seen in Italy. Jean Belliard, son-in-law of Edgar Ansel Mowrer and now French at- tache on Eisenhower’s staff, con- ceived cne brilliant idea—namely, guoting from the Moscow press at the time Eisenhower liberajed Europe. One set of posters there- fore featured the hammer and sickle with quotes from Izvestia and Pravda hailing Ike as a great libera- tor. At the bottom of the poster was the date: May, 1945. Other posters featured Ike in his Colum- bia University cap and gown, regret- fully laying aside his books to don | an outgrown uniform. Overnight, squads organized by the ECA went out, tore down the | Communist posters and put up the | new set. Few people had any idea‘ who inspired the overnight change. | [n fact, gracious Ambassador Dunn, riding through Rome’s streets the | next day, remarked: “You see what | Sincerely, (signed) Roman Ellers. | A victory for the Cougars would the Italian people do when you leave them alone?” | For some months Gervasi, a for- ' mer Hearst newspaperman and rov- | ing correspondent for Collier's, has | been putting new life into Ameri- can propaganda in Italy. Thanks to | him, millions of Italian people now | know what the Marshall Plan has brought to them. Three of his puklications are among the most in- genious in Europe. One is a comic | magazine called “The Story of | America” which is sold on news- | stands weekly and is lapped up by the Italian public. Another is “II Campi,” or “The Land,” a monthly magazine for ! farmers which is increasing Italian | agricultural output and at the same | | time is getting across the fact that the United States has extended great help to Italy. The third is| called “Ilustrated Worker,” a poor man’s Collier's, aimed at weaning labor away from the Communists. | The last-named is so popular that, ! |in six months, it has reached a| newstand circulation of 200,000 and soon will become a paying pxopou- tion. i Gervasi's ingenuity has done a| great deal to give Communism its | heavy setbacks in Italy.

Not only the people of Wasilla, but the people of all Alaska should be proud of the courageous Senator, who is not afraid to express the wishes of the common people. But now I wonder how many common people there are in. the Territory. Looking back twenty or twenty-five years, I remember how the Territory appeared then—most- workers, miners, prospectors, fishermen, and loggers. But now, especially in our Capitol City, one can hardly lay an eye on a work- ing man. It seems that most of the population consists of Federal and Territorial employees. All available space is occupied by governmental offices, the streets are filled with shining cars bearing U. S. Govt. licenses, still short of space for newly cre- ated agencies and bureaus. How true it is that Senator Snider was elected by the people and not by office holders. How true it is that the general wage increase ap- plies to all, BUT IN WHAT PRO- PORTION? To the big boys goes the lion’s share, 33% to 50%, and the small fry gets whats left—if anything. I must once again express my profound admiration for Senator Snider. More power to him, and I wish there were more like him. The people shall not forget the origin- ator of the wage increase bill, nor will we overlook the members vo- ting in favor, Our opinion of them will be expressed on future election ! nish the oil for the light as it has | done in the past. | permit, Metcalf said.

B. 118 for passage in the present Legislature. The bill provides half of the Ter- ritorial funds appropriated for pay- ment of wolf and coyote bounties to be expended by the Fish and Wild- life Service in support of its pro- gram for the extermination of wolves and coyotes in the Territory. Because less than half of the $100,000 appropriated for bounty has been taken up by bounty hunters, it was felt that the trained predator agents of FWS could provide con- trol where needed and do more ef- fective work. ‘The Sportsmen have already al- loted $500 to the FWS to supply a predator agent to control wolves in the Juneau area. H.B. 118 came up and was laid on the table. Today is the last day that { action can be taken by the House to get the bill to the Senate and the board directed that each repre- sentative and senator be contacted to support the bill.
