That is why Taft always has been the favorite of the chief architects of the Grand Old Party. “Nevertiiclofs) the glamorous Mac™ Arthur, plus the crowds he has drawn, the appeal he seems to have, | the manner in which he has made President Truman take a back seat, has made GOP planners think twice. Some do so with great re- gret, because they had their heart set on Taft. Some are waiting to see how soon—if ever—MacArthur stubs his toe. Some are wondering also what| the MacArthur boom will do to Eisenhower. If the GOP nominates a military man for President, then the Democrats are certain to off- set him with a military man ot their own adoption—Eisenhower. That is why the return of the General of the Army from Tokyo this week has turned the GOP can- didate-pickers literally topsy-turvy. And it will take a couple of weeks for them to get their predictions reshuffled and in place again. Texas vs. Kentucky Humeor Sharp-tongued Sen. Tom Conn- ally of Texas was ribbing vice pres- ident Alben Barkley, a Kentuckian, about his reputation as a story- teller. That's the only way you can get elected in Kentucky—telling those | hillbillie 0 there stories keep them happy,” said Connally. “If you told more jokes and dis- carded that sour look, I'll bet you'd get all the votes in Texas,” coun- tered the Veep. “I don’t want all the votes, just a majority,” replied Connally. “I couldn’t stand being obligated to everybody in Texas.” G. 1.

Names are withheld upon xequest. Company G, 15th Infantry, Third Divisien, Korea — “We have just been brought back from the front for a rest. As we understand it, we are supposed to spend this time to rest, write letters and catch up on much-needed sleep—plus a little recreation. Instead we have spent our rest period building a sidewalk in a Korean village outside of Seoul. We have been working long hours, hauling chunks of stone, weighing up to 100 pounds, from a nearby cliff.” Answer—Front-line troops should be entitled to a rest. The Army has promised a thorough investigation of’ the incident you report. A Private, Camp Stoneman, Cal- if.—“I was forced to travel to Camp Stoneman by train. Why shouldn't the Army let me spend the same amount of money for an airplane ticket, so I can spend more time at home on furlough?” Answer—The defense department political | | to | has an unofficial policy of giving | the railroads priority on military passenger travel. This is partly due to the iact that in wartime the airlines have been so crowded that it is difficult to get space on them. A Draftee, Ft. Lewis, Wash.— “The Coast Guard is a haven for draft dodgers. Those who are lucky enough to get into port security units are exempt from the draft until M-Day. This isn't fair rest of us.” Answer—It is true that draft-el- igible~men . have been.able.to. get into Coast Guard port security un- its. It is also true that all they are required to do is attend 48 drills and serve two weeks active duty per year. This automatically ex- empts them from the draft. How- ever, the Coast Guard claims it has sent letters to 160,000 ex-Coast Guard men in an attempt to re- cruit 289 officers and 2,420 enlisted imen for port security units. Only i after all other methods failed, the | Coast Guard claims, did it open 1mesc units to draft-eligible men. ! These units are still short 67 offi- cers and 826 men. Mrs. Otto Tissof, St. Louis, Mo.— “My son has been ip Korea all win- ‘ter, and in each letter, he asks for food. The mail rates to Korea are very high, Isn't there any way these packages can be sent cheap- et?” Answer—Congressman Cecil King, California Democrat, has intro- duced a bill to provide tree parcel post for wives and parents of ser- vicemen sending packages to Kor- ea. It is now up to Congress. Note—Several letters have been received from veterans of the | Fourth Marine Division, asking whether the war will interfere with their annual reunion. The answer is that there will be no interfer-! ! ence. The reunion will be held in { Chicago at the Hotel Sherman, June 28, 29, and 30. | Truman Telephones President Truman was so pressed for votes during the fight on the 18-.-year-old draft that he called a Republican Senator off the floor and lectured him. Sen. Wayne Morse, the energetic Oregonian, was arguing against the administration’s 18-year-old draft when a page told him of an urgent telephone call It was the President. “I have Secretary Marshall here with me,” he said, “and both of us | want you to know you're not help- ing him.” Morse was a little surprised, but replied: “I respect you and the Secretary, Mr. President, but this is a matter of conviction with me.” In the end, Senator Morse won. Congress passed the 18-':-year-old | draft, not the 18-year-old. DYER HOME Tom Dyer, local manager of the Standard Oil office, returned Fri- day morning on the Princess Lou- ise from Skagway. He has been in Whitehorse, Y. T., for the past two weeks. NNIS RETURNS E. E. Ninnis, proprietor of Juneau Motor Company, returned home Thursday from a short business trip to Seattle. He was a round trip passenger on Pan American to the | ANCHOR FISH COMPANY NOW SHIPPING SHRIMP T0 STATES, LOCALLY Shrimp explorations by Ear! Benitz with his trawler Baranof have proved successful with daily landings being made at the Anchor Fish Co. cannery. The company, owned and oper- ated by Don Milnes, is making shipments of frogen shrimp to Pa- cific Coast markets while some of the shrimp are sold locally. Twelve pickers are presently employed by Anchor Fish with four or five more to be added within the next 10 days. Not many side-stripe rimp or prawns are found. Landings aver- age 15 boxes weighing 200 pounds each. The 40 foot Baranof carries a 37 foot beam trawl. Bob Becker is the other member of the crew besides Benitz. The pinks are taken in local wa- ters Bad weather interrupted ex- ploration work for several months. The exploration has proved that the handling of shrimp locally is commercially feasible. MAJ. M.

It was decided not to issue the curtailment order this year.
