LET US NOT FORGET TO BE KIND
The Business and Professional Women, meeting
in Juneau, have completed their second biennial
Alaska Federation of Business and Professional Wom
en’s Clubs’ convention. The visitors have left Juneau
for their homes, their work accomplished for another
two years, their program for the next two years out
lined after that of their national organization, ’’Full
partnership in the job ahead.” And there is no doubt
but that the women attending the convention, listen
ing to their national representative, Mrs. Cecelia P.
Galey. and other speakers, are aware that there is
a serious job ahead, and the women in the BPW
organization are ready to do their part of the job—
maybe more than their part.
Among moments during convention meetings that
gave pause to thought were those when the Collect of
the National Federation of BPWClubs was repeated.
Women, individually or in a group, who read or
repeat this Collect, written by Mary Stewart, cannot
but be impressed for good. We have asked permis
sion to publish it:
"Keep us, oh God, from pettiness; let us be large
in thought, in word, in deed.
"Let us be done with fault-finding and leave off
self-seeking.
"May we put away all pretense and meet each
other face to face — without self-pity and without
prejudice.
"May we never be hasty in judgment and always
generous. Let us take time for all things; make us
to grow calm, serene, gentle.
"Teach us to put into action our better impulses,
straightforward and unafraid.
“Grant that we may realize it is the little things
that create differences, that in the big things of life
we are at one.
"And may we strive to touch and to know the
great, common human heart of us all, and, oh God,
let us forget not to be kind!”
Slaughtering Alaska’s (lame
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
This- week, the bodies of four dead caribou were
found near the Steese highway. Someone who merely
wanted to kill something, slaughtered the animals, and
left them to rot.
Alaska is the only land under the American
flag where caribou exist in the wild state. The ani
mals have become increasingly scarce in recent years.
They • provide excellent hunting in season, they
provide a livelihood for hundreds of Natives, and they
are an attraction that draws visiting hunters and
outdoorsmen to Alaska. They are one of the Terri
tory's most valuable wildlife resources.
It is difficult to understand how a person, or
| group of persons, could deliberately and wantonly
slaughter these valuable animals, merely for the little
pleasure there is in killing them.
But that happened near Fairbanks this week.
Some vicious moron, with a gun, felled four of these
magnificient game animals, then let them go com
pletely to waste. For whatever pleasure there is in
pulling a trigger, and then watching a caribou die,
he destroyed hundreds of pounds of meat, and wiped
out four game animals that no one can leplace.
Such irresponsible killing of Alaska s valuable
game animals will eventually wipe out our good hunt- '
ing The wildlife of the Territory is one of Alaska’s j
most valuable heritages. The animals are there for ,
the use of all, but the supply is not inexhaustible, I
so they should be taken in season, and in legal
numbers. A person who takes more than his share, I
or worse still, who wantonly slaughters them, is rob- :
bing the people of Alaska of a priceless resource.
We hope that Fish and Wildlife agents will bring
the men who slaughtered those caribou to justice,
and sock them with a penalty that matches the
wanton, destructive act they have committed._

nlng the country. The discussion j
started shortly after 8 p.m. Around
10 o'clock, a maid brought in some
ham and chWsd -Sandwiches and:
coffee. The meeting finally broke
up at 10:45 p.m.
Truman and MacArthur
Probably most newsworthy, the
President described his private talk
with General MacArthur at Wake
Island, ■niis was the man-to-man
talk that was never heard by any
one else nor taken down in short
hand.
The President quoted MacArthur
as vowing never to let the Repub
licans “use” him again. MacArthur
complained to the President that
the Republicans had pulled him in
to the 1948 campaign and had left
him flat. He added that he didn't
want to get into "anything like
that" again and didn’t propose to
be used by the Republicans.
This, the President said, was one
reason he was so shocked to learn
that MacArthur had written to
House Republican leader Joe Mar
tin and, once again, had let him
self be used by the Republicans.
The President also told how Mac
Arthur had "talked himself out”
of the VFW incident. MacArthur's
explanation was that he “wasn't
aware” that his statement to the
Veterans of Foreign Wars conven
tion was in violation of orders. He
also said he "wasn't aware" there
would be so much public interest
in his statement.
Turning to Kilgore, the President
remarked ruefully: "I know you
advised me a year ago to get rid
of MacArthur. I wish I hud taken
your advice. Lord knows, no one
has tried harder than I have to
get along with the man. I even
flew 8,000 miles to talk to him
personally. I gave him enough rope
to hang himself a dozen times. He
just wasn’t satisfied. He had to go
further and further against all
good military judgment.”
In talking about MacArthur, Sen
ators were impressed by the fact
that Truman seemed to display no
anger or bitterness, chiefly disap
pointment.
Truman and FDR
The group sat around a long
table with Truman in the center
on the far side. FDR, Jr., sat at
hts left and White House aide Dave
Stowe at his right.
The President started off by
solemnly describing the critical
times that the nation is up against,
and the crucial decisions that must
be made.
“This is one of the most difficult
periods this country has ever
laced," he declared. Then, turning
to FDR, Jr., he added: . . As
difficult, perhaps, as some of the
crises that faced your father.”
“You gentlemen are just as re
sponsible for running the nation as
I am,” he said. “I need your help."
And he reminded them that the
late Arthur Vandenberg was the
last Republican Senator to serve
under a Republican President, and
that there were only 12 Republican
members of the House who had the
responsibility In a Republican ad
ministration. "You gentlemen are
just as responsible for running the
nation as I am," the President
said.
Senator Benton, Congressman
Blatnik of Minnesota, and FDR,
Jr., emphasized that a sizable group
was ready to back the President on
Capitol Hill, but that closer liaison
with the White House was needed.
"We don't know what’s going to
happen ahead of time,” Long of
Louisiana broke in. “Take Dean
Acheson, for example. Some of us
may go out on a limb and defend
him. Then, maybe a week later, he
would be axed.”
Truman assured there was no
danger of Acheson’s being axed,
that Acheson was going to stay.
“History will prove his greatness,
and I intend to stand by him,”
Truman vowed. “You don't dis
charge a man who is doing a good
job just because he is under pol
itical attack.”
Review of Russian Policy
The President gave a brief review
of American Foreign policy from
the Yalta, Teheran, Cairo and Mas
cow conferences down to the pres
ent MacArthur debate. He told how
me United States went into these
conferences hopefully, with no rea
son to distrust Russia’s word. In
an aside to FDR, Jr., Truman com
mented: “Your father attended
these conferences and you know
from him that what I am saying
is right.”
Then the President described how
Russia had violated her word and
flouted the independence of Poland,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Czechoslo
vakia. Out of 37 definite commit
ments, Truman reported, Russia
has reneged on 33.
"Russia went her way, and we
weer forced to go our way," the
President explained sadly.
Then he told how the United
States had embarked on a policy
of keeping world peace, but at the
same time stopping aggression.
However, he stressed that the way
to stop communism and build a
healthy world isn’t by force alone.
This led up to his point 4 program
to rehabilitate backward nations.
Untapped Riches
Enthusiastically, Truman pointed
out that Ethiopia is 65.000 square
miles in area—"a little larger than
my home state of Missouri"—yet
is covered with a deep layer of
rich topsoil, as good as the farm
lands of Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa.
With reclamation and irrigation,
Truman predicted, Ethiopia could
produce enough food to feed 150,
000,000 people..
"Imagine what this would mean
to the starving people of India!”
he said.
The President also reported that
the Euphrates Valley, which used
to be the Garden of Eden, could be
made into another Garden of Eden
with modern reclamation.
And he told about three tremen
dous falls in South America that
are 10 feet higher than Niagara,
send four times the volume of
water plunging over them, and
could be developed into great sour
ces for electrical power.
Impressed, Senator Benton of
Connecticut told how Senator Kerr
of Oklahoma had asked a group
of seven or eight Senators what
Truman's administration would be
most remembered for. Someone
suggested civilian control of atomic
energy. However, Benton said: I
told them I believed the Truman
administration would be most re
membered for the point 4 program,
and I think most of -the group
agreed.”
The President had little to say
about his domestic program, though
he compained about the Congres
sional cut in appropriations for the
Interior Department and reminded
his guests that they were Demo
crats and equally responsible for
carrying out the Democratic plat
form.
"You can see the spot I am in,”
the Presidenf concluded. "I need
your help.”

4-YEAR-OLD
RFC-BO DEAL
IS REVEALED
WASHINGTON, June 1, — M —
A four-year-old proposed Senate
committee report accusing the RPC
and the B & O railroad with "col
lusive and irregular dealings" was
made public today.
The dealings involved an $80,000.
000 loan made by the government
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The document said RFC's ar
rangements with the B & O con
cerning the loan violated the RFC
act.
The arrangements also exposed
the railroad ‘‘to far greater risks
than was necessary or warranted
by the 3 & O’s financial condi
tion," the proposed report said.
It wound up with a recommenda
tion that the record of a Senate
Banking subcommittee's investiga
tion of the RFC and the B & O
loan be turned over to the Justice
Department for possible prosecu
tions.
The report was released today by
the Banking committee without
comment.
The RFC-B & O deal has been the
subject of several Washington Mer
ry-Go-Rounds by Drew Pearson.

Q. Is it really proper lor a man to offer his seat in a bus or other
public conveyance to a woman?
A. There certainly is nothing “improper” about the offier, but in
this Workaday w'orld In which women have invaded many of the previous
“rights of man,” it is no longer expected for a man to give up his seat
fn a public conveyance to a woman. Of course, if the woman is elderly,
carrying a baby, or is a good friend of his, then he most certainly should
be thoughful enough to offer her a place to sit.
Q. I have heard that it is improper to eat the lettuce on which
salad is served. Is this correct?
A. No. The lettuce is part of the salad, and if one likes lettuce,
then there is no reason why it should not be eaten.
Q. What are the accepted forms of the complimentary close for busi
ness letters?
A.Yours truly . Very truly yours. Respectfully yours. Sincerely
