PRE-SESSION OBSERVATIONS
In less than a month, Alaska's forty legislators
will be In Juneau framing the Territory’s laws lor
the coming biennium.
There has been little talk on the street regarding
proposed 1( Uslation, but before long we’ll be hearing
much cl plan, lor those busy two months.
An increase of several million dollars in the esti
m. d budget for 1951-53 indicates that plans are
rndci way in various Territorial agencies for expand
ing present activities.
To bring the c limated budget up to §20,128,311.23
for the coming biennium, there are sizable increases
in the Health Department request, the Department of
! Labor, for Public Welfare, the University of Alaska
1 and support of schools.
i It is noticeable that there are few salary in
j creases asked.
The National Guard budget has about tripled, but
that is understandable in a time of threatened war.
J In fact, the seriousness of the war situation is such
j that it seems to dwarf our local problems as the leg
islative year approaches, although once we get into
the throes of politics they will again become important.
Just now, we wonder what has happened to the
Territorial Office building that was to be built in
Juneau with funds appropriated by the last legisla
ture. In November, an Empire reporter was told that
the bids would be called for and contracts let in
December, so that building could be started before the
beginning of the legislative session.

From Small IJeginnings
(Seattle Times!
Backed now by a modest appropriation of Federal
funds, the United States Coast Guard Volunteer Re
serve in this district is busy enrolling reservists in new
organized units.
The funds provided by Congres for this purpose
are not large enough to pass around very far. But
it is important to develop a full port security program
here. There should be good and prompt response from
reservists in this area. It will be easier to obtain
more generous appropriations from the next Congress
if this preliminary organization work is successful.
"It isn't at all difficult to understand life; it is ;
merely a form of electricity,” says a physicist. Man
is that brainy creature who explains a mystery by
attributing it to another mystery.
If you get high enough in government you may
even rate a private rat hole to pour money down.—
(Concrete Herald.)
For several weeks we haven’t worried about the i
atomic bomb, and it seems we have got along about
as well as usual, which is none too well.

around his own door when he sallies forth to clean

However, the President seems to
have an inferiority complex about
calling on men who served under
Roosevelt.
Secret Aluminum Deal
A secret deal has been made be
tv < en the United States and Can
ed. i Wn^XDaijd Carnahan aluminuiTi
I reduction at the expense of al
i niinum mills in the United States.
However, the Aluminum Corpora
t :i of America which operates an
; ffiliate in Canada indirectly will
: et a windfall.
The deal was arranged in pri
’.a!e talks between Secretary of
Commerce Charles Sawyer. Produc
cn bos. William Harrjson and1
C iado’s Minister of Trade C. D.
Howe. By it the United States
tgrees to furnish steel for builu
iig a giant aluminum works in
the wilds of British Columbia,
which though it will take three
1 ears to complete, will eventually
] reduce 500,000 tons of aluminum
nnually.
The deal follows urgings by |
ALCOA (Aluminum Company of
America) that the government buy
i. ore aluminum from Canada. This
would throw the business to AL
COA'.s Siamese Twin, ALCAN, and
at the same time prevent building
up ALCOA's competitors in the1
L.S.A.
ALCOA’S first attempt to swing'
this deal failed last October, when |
Stuart Symington and Jess Lar-'
son stopped it. However, Secretary :
of Commerce Sawyer and Produc
tion boss Harrison have now gone :
over their heads.
The new Canadian aluminum1
center will be located at Kitimat, a !
deserted Indian village in the heart j
cf a virgin forest wilderness. This:
is only 1,600 miles from Siberian
air bases, as compared with pro
posed American plants on the Gulf
Coast, 5,000 miles from Siberia.
Note—This same Aluminum Cor
poration of Canada sold 200,000
pounds of precious aluminum to
Communist China, 1,000,000 pounds
t - Communist Poland and 3,000,000
pounds to Communist Czechoslo
aksa—all after the Communist at
l (.1: on South Korea. Some of this
aluminum is now being used
a uiinst United Nations troops in
Korea.
War Censorship
General MacArthur is leaving it
up to his field commanders as to
how far they should go in censor
ing war news. His secret instruc
tions are: “Delay transmission of
news and establish news blackout
whenever in your judgment mili
tary necessity requires such action."
Inside fact is that MacArthur
resisted censorship until premature
dispatches leaked out about the
evacuation of Hungnam. On two
previous occasions, the Joint Chiefs
of Staff had urged him to clamp
censorship on military news, but
he ignored their recommendations,
explaining it would take 300 censors
and he didn’t have any. Finally af
ter the Hungnam incident. MacAr
thur reluctantly ordered war news
to be “screened for security.”
In the secret instructions sent
all field commanders, MacArthur
:ssed, it is not desired to im
pose complete censorship.”
"You will direct your staff, all
public information officers and sub
ordinate commanders (A) not to
discuss with correspondents any
prohibited information; (B) to in
stitute a check for security over all
military communication facilities
under your command to insure
that no message involving breach
of security is transmitted (if secur
ity is involved the correspondent
desiring to transmit same will
either agree to elmination of secur
ity breaches or the message will be
delayed until security is not in
volved); (C) To direct commercial
communication facilities operating
in your area to withhold trans
mission of news dispatches until
they have been checked for secur
ity by your public information
personnel.”
Isolation Battle
A backstage move to dump inde
pendent Sen. Wayne Morse of Ore
gon and place Homer Capehart, ar
dent Indiana isolationist, on the
Foreign Relations Committee, is
being cooked up in Senate cloak
rooms.
The diametrically opposing views
of these two men were summed up
at the recent closed-door Repub
lican caucus.
“Wg, ought to demand that the
President not only fire Acheson,”
Capehart grumbled, "but replace
him with a man who disagrees
with everything the Secretary of
State stands for.”
In contrast, Morse’ cooked his
goose with Republican diehards
by arguing against the anti-Ache- >
son resolutions.
Since then the move to substitute !
Capehart for Morse on the vita1: j
Foreign Relations Committee has I
intensified. It is spearheaded by!
the powerful Republican Commil
tee on Committees, headed by Hugh
Butler, even though Butler vir
tually promised Morse the Foreign
Relations spot last summer. Cape
hart, however, is a member of the
Committee on Committees, as are
other members of the GOP isola
tionist wing.
When Morse caught wind of the j
switch, he wrote Butler: “I am
aware of an attempt being made
to keep me off the Foreign Rela
tions Committee. I believe it will
be healthy for the Republican con
ference to have a full discussion on
this. I am perfectly willing to lay
my record for supporting sound Re
publican principles alongside the re
cord of any member of the Com
mittee on Committees."
The outcome of this battle will
indicate fairly clearly whether fu
ture Republican policy will drift
isolationist.

Suffering no ill except severe chill and shock, James Sharks was
pulled from the waters of Gastineau Channel off Willoughby Avenue
by members of the Juneau Fire Department. Marks was thrown Into
the Channel when his rowboat capsized and he clung to piling until
rescued.
Christmas festivities had not ended in Juneau. The Moose Lodge
was to have its big tree and program for members and their families this
night and the Elks Lodge annual Christmas program and visit from
Santa Claus for the youngsters was scheduled for the evening of De
cember 29.
As a result of the operations carried on in the Wrangell district
this fall and winter, wolves in that area had ben pracetically extermi
nated, according to Harlan H. Gubser, Predatory Animal Hunter in
charge of the Territory’s campaign against predators. The trapping
was done by Sidney Brannon, Gubser’s assistant.
Harry Krane, manager of the Merrymakers, Juneau dance orchestra,
had leased the large dance floor in the A. B. Hall building and had |
announced the first dance to be given there by the Merrymakers would j
be on New Year's Eve.
Slugger Weaver, claimant of the lightwieght boxing title of South
east Alaska, faced the stiftest opposition of his career here on De
cember 31 when he was to meet Migreel Zamorra, Filipino battler, in the
six-round semi-final event of the American Legion smoker. Zamorra
was the* most experienced man Weaver had taken on since he came
here to fight. The former had two draws with the late Pancho Villa,
one-time king of the little fellows, to his credit.
Gear restrictions in Southeast Alaska and a midweek closed season
in Bristol Bay were the highlights in the 1931 Alaska fisheries regu
lations. No changes in season fishing dates were made in the several
Southeast Alaska districts. As for several years past, the season would
open June 15 and close on August 6, except that traps will close in the
western end of the region on August 3.
