ALASKA MUSIC TRAILS
Bringing music to Alaska is a difficult Job, but
the fact that the Juneau-Douglas Concert Association
is promoting another concert season means that it will
be accomplished no matter what the difficulties.
Securing artists to make the long trip to Alaska
has been a problem in the past but the formation of
an Alaska concert circuit, "Alaska Music Trails,”
largely through the interest of Maxim Schapiro, has
helped solve the problems of bringing music to Alaska.
Once the musicians have contracted for the trip
i North and for concerts in ten Alaska towns, season
: tickets must be sold to assure sufficient funds to
meet the Concert Association’s budget.
One-half of the sum necessary for the year's bud
get has already been raised by ticket sale, it was
reported by the membership chairman this week. But
the first concert is only two weeks away, and more
money must be in the association's treasury to guar
antee a successful season.
First concert will be October 19, when Luigi Silva,
one of the country’s six top cellists, will play in
Juneau. He will be accompanied by Maxim Schapiro,
our friend of former concerts and the man who has
done so much for music in Alaska.
There will be two more concerts during the cur
rent season.
The continued interest in the Concert Association
indicates that it has a place in the hearts of the
people of Douglas and Juneau. Since it was started,
largely through the efforts of the Ehlers, Mary and
Ernest, three years ago, the association has overcome
many problems. Chief of these, probably was the need
in Juneau of a concert piano, but that need has been
filled, Juneau has its concert grand and it will be
used again this month by Schapiro who was instru
mental in securing the piano for the association.
• Next problem — and it will be the same always
no doubt — is that of selling season tickets, selling
enough tickets to make certain that Juneau and
Douglas will continue to have music. Faithful to the
Concert Association for all its years has been Mrs’.
John McCormick, and her presence in charge of mem
bership is one assurance that the concert season will
be successful.
Mrs. McCormick has asked us to remind you people
in' Juneau and Douglas that this is your Concert
Association. A season ticket makes you a membei
and helps make it possible to present “live music"
along the Alaska music trail for another year.

Merry-Go-Round
(Continued from Page One)
other areas to follow the Korean j
attack—Formosa, Tibet, French In
do-China, civil war in North India,
an invasion of Yugoslavia and:
Greece, an Azerbaijan attack on ]
Iran, and a drive to push the Al
lies out of west Germany.
If these could be accomplished,
the Kremlin planners were con
vinced that anti-Communist gov
ernments In France and Italy would
fall and the history of Czechoslo
vakia would be repeated.
Upset Timetable
What upset the Kremlin time
table was the sudden decision of |
President Truman to order U. S.
troops into Korea plus Secretary
Acheson’s well-planned maneuver
to get UN Security Council approv
al for our counterattack. From two
reliable sources, we know that the
Kremlin was dumbfounded. j
The 14 men in the Politburo had '
never expected anything like this, j
and the Soviet Embassy in Wash-1
ington was ordered to report im-1
mediately as to what went wrong. |
This upset threw other Soviet,
moves off schedule. Communist
troops, it will be recalled, were
all set to invade both Formosa and
Yugoslavia, but the attacks were
delayed for reconsideration of strat
egy.
What Next From Kremlin? I
What will happen next is hard]
to predict. However, two factors
seem worth examining. Because the
Kremlin’s intelligence was so bad
regarding Korea, they appear to
be worried about trusting intelli
gence reports from other countries.
Also, it appears certain that the
current peace front which Malik
and Vishinsky are waging at Lake
Success is aimed to lull us back to
appeasement.
The last thing the Russians want
is an elert, heavily armed U.S.A.
Hence the friendlier speeches, the
rumors of a Stalin-Truman meet
ing and the talk that Vishinsky will
attend an American football game.
Meanwhile there will be riots and
exploratory probings in Germany,
probable uprisings in Axerbaijan,
plus Communist successes in Indo
china.
If we appease, the Kremlin will
go back to its old bulldozing. If we
continue tough, there should be a
bona fide change in Kremlin polic\
—though this would be a miracle
‘'Headlines Bring Trouble"—H.S.T.
. President Truman got some stim
ulating ideas on how to "win the
peace" the other day from Harold
Russell, armless commander of Am
vets and star of the movie, "Best
Years of our Lives.”
"Instead of waging a 'preventive
war’ against Russia, as some peo
ple advoca'e, our policy should be
one of ‘preventive strength’,” sug
gested Russell. "That doesn’t mean
we have to hold still waiting for
further acts of Soviet aggression.
But it does mean that the door for
peace must be left open at the UN
conference table. I'm not one of
those who believe that war with
Russia is inevitable."
The Amvets chief hotly assailed
Congress for failing to pass on ex
cess-profits tax and for appropriat
ing more money for “pork barrel"
projects than for atomic research.
"Profit dollars should go to war
the same as men," declared Russell.
"Our guys are fighting and dying
in battle and unless we back them
up at home, the whole thing be
comes a mockery. We’ve all got to
make sacrifices—industry, labor, the
farmer—all of us.”
“Everything you’ve said makes
sense to me," agreed the President.
ie added that he was grateful to
tmvets for not waging a personal
ear on his Cabinet, “like some out
its.”
“That would have put you in the
leadlines,” said Truman, ‘ but I
lidn’t go after headlines, either,
vhen I was Chairman of the Sen
ite War Investigating committee.
\nd yet in a poll conducted by a
eading magazine (Look), I was
he only member of Congress chos
en among the 10 ‘most useful’ gov
ernment officials.”
His problems really started when
ne began to get big headlines, add
ed the President. “Now," he said,
■look at the trouble I’m in.”
Civilian Defense Nepotism
Civilian war mobilizer Stuart
Symington is one of the most effi
cient operators in government, but
he has one weakness—his family.
On the same day President Tru
man sent his special message to
Congress warning American cities to
prepare for atomic attack, he left
the vitally important job of pre
paring these cities against attack
in the hands of a charming social- j
ite who got his job because he was!
Symington’s brother-in-law.
Jerry Wadsworth, now acting I
head of Civilian Defense, is a tall, j
amiable, Teddy-bear sort of indi
vidual, who at the age of 50 has
made no career for himself, but
happens to have two potent rela
tives: (1) His father, GOP Cong
ressman James Wadsworth of New
York: and <2> his brother-in-law^,
Democrat Stuart Symington, form
er Secretary for Air and now
head of the National Security Re
sources Board. From his father he
gets a boost from the Republicans,
and from his brother-in-law he gets
help from the Democrats.
In fact, shortly after Sy^nington
came to Washington as War Assets
Administrator, likable, inexperienced
brother-in-law Jerry turned up as
his assistant. Later, when Syming
ton was given the Security Board
his brother-in-law came to work
under him in civilian defense.
Now, *ith the resignation of Paul
Larson as Chief of Civilian Defense,
Wadsworth is left in acting charge
of the job once held by dynamic
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New
York. And this is an atomic age!

Q. Should a young man. whose means are limited, take his fiancee
along with him to pick out her engagement ring? Wouldn’t it be be em
barrassing if she were to pick a ring beyond his means?
A. This is becoming ihe accepted customs these days, and the man
can often avoid any embarrassment by first going alone to the jeweler,
who can help him pick out a number of rings within his means. He then
takes his girl to the store and she makes her selection from these rings.
Q. If a man and a woman are walking together during a rain, and
both have umberllas, should each one use his own umbrella?
A. This would prove very awkward. It would be much better if both j
were to walk under the man's larger umbrella.
Q. If a woman is eating in a restaurant, would it be all right for;
her to place her purse and gloves on the corner of the table?
A. No; she should place them in her lap.
