CIVIL DEFENSE PROGRAM SLOW
In view of the present international situation, the
Government of the United States has recommended a
$3,100,000,000 civil defense program for the next three
years.
The present plan is to encourage the states to enter
into compacts for the exchange of fire-fighting equip
ment, ambulances, police forces, etc., in the event of
enemy attacks. The agreements would be subject to the
approval of the Director of Civil Defense in order that
there could be uniformity so that workers rushed from
one state to another would know exactly what they
were supposed to do, who would pay and feed them, and
how the cost ultimately would be shared.
In addition, the estimates include $2,250,000,000 for
communal shelters, able to withstand atomic attack.
This expense would be shared by the Federal Govern
ment, State and local governments. State and local gov
ernments would also be expected to defray costs of ad
ministration and personal equipment for volunteers, es
timated at $200,000,000 and the Federal Government
would stockpile medicine, plasma, etc., at a cost of $400,
000,000.
It is not too early for the people of this country to be
intelligently planning to meet the consequences of en
emy attacks. The possibility exists that, if war begins,
enemy bombing planes will be able to penetrate into
United States and drop their explosives in the heart of
our metropolitan areas. It would be foolish to wait until
the catastrophe to make our plans to meet the emer
gency.
FISHERIES PROTECTION
#
r p ••' i
All Americans should become aroused to the necessity
of preserving our fish industry in making a new treaty
with Japan.
To allow Japanese mother ships near our coasts to
catch the fish which we pay out large sums to conserv
and then sell it back to us as imports cheaper than it can;
be produced by American standards of living, means
ruin to one of the nation’s leading industries. 1
We’ve already had a good example of that in the past
in Bristol Bay. ?
We should become aroused at once to the necessity of
working out an equitable plan for both Japan and the
United States. j

ROTARY CLUB .
THREE-IN-ONE MAN
IN TOWN
R. E. Sheldon, executive direc
tor of the Alaska Employment Se
curity commission, is also war
man-power mobilization head for
the Territory, as well as chairman
for Alaska of the President’s com
mittee for Nationally Employ the
Physically Handicapped.
At the Rotary Club meeting
Thursday Mr. Sheldon spoke for
nearly half an hour on the sub
jects of Unemployment Compen
sation, War Man-Power Mobiliza
tion and the greater need for put
ting the physically handicapped
persons into suitable jobs.
There are several million physi
cally handicapped persons in the *
United States and its Possessions,
of which Alaska has its quota Mr.
Sheldon said, and the number is
increasing daily, as can be noted
from the lists of casualties return
ing fr6m Korea, and elsewhere,
and if world conditions become
too much worse, crur very survival
may depend upon the number of 1
physically handicapped that are
put into defense plants and other
essential jobs, in order that our
war effort shall not lag and that
able-bodied me nand women may
be released for more essential du
ties.
Mr. Sheldon also stated that
Alaska faces a tight labor market i
this coming season and that a sur
vey is now being made to deter
mine the potential man-power
that may be available for this
summer’s operations, more espe
cially among the natives of the
Second and Fourty. Divisions of
the Territory and to determine to
what extent this man-power can
be used in the areas of Fairbanks,
Anchorage and along the Alaska
Railroad and the canneries. It is
becoming more difficult to induce
workers to come from -the States*
to accept work in Alaska because
work is becoming more plentiful
in the States and more money is
left in the worker’s take-home
check at the end of the month in
many cases.
Mr. Sheldon intends to recom
mend -to his Commission that some
provision be made as soon as pos
sible to assist unemployed work
ers in this area in applying for un
employment insurance and to
check on those who may, through
lack of knowledge or wilfully, be
violating the law.
Mr. Sheldon is planning to leave
for his Juneau headquarters, via
Fairbanks with Wien Airlines on
