HUNTING SEASON IS NEAR
—
The hunting season in Southeast Alaska is ap
proaching, in fact on Friday, September 1, one may
start out in search of. deer. The bag limits for deer
are the same m Just year, two bucks allowed the resi
dent hunter -and one buck iy the non-resident.
In the Peril ^Straits area' there is reported' an
Increase In deer W fast wint#? was much easier for the
deer and flttie spruit; ■ milder than two years ago.
The- goat season has already opened and will run
until N<>v*mfcei 15. Hunters are allowed two goats of
any kind except a kid.
The moose, season will open September 15 and
will close October 14. Hunters are allowed only one
bull, ‘-t • . 'i
The season on grouse and ptarmigan also opens
next Friday and runs until February 28. Bag limit is
10 birds a day.
Before we know it, the duck and goose season
will also open in Southeast Alaska. The opening
date is October 1 and closes November 24.
Many hunters are already planning deer hunting
trips over the weekend and caution is urged on all
hunters. In other words don't shoot until you are
sure your aim is on a deer and not a human being.
TRADE WITH RUSSIA ATTACKED
Winston Churchill, the other day, declared that
British, firms are supplying the Russians with machine
tools that could be used in war.
Conservative English newspapers took this attack
right up and the Daily Telegraph says that it has
already drawn attention to the anomalies which
permit Russia and her satellites to buy rubber and
other strategic materials from us.
The Daily Express says there is every argument
for promoting good relations with Russia, but, it asks:
"Why trade in equipment which could be used against
British soldiers? Why send materials which Great
Britain needs herself?"
The Daily Graphic says: “Foodstuffs and similar!
commodities from Eastern Europe are dearly bought j
at this price.”
The Daily Mail asks why we do not get our
grain from Canada instead. The Mail also hotly
attacks the practice of allowing Russian trade agents
to visit our factories.
The Manchester Guardian wtmts more informa
tion on these points; it asks whether machine tools
in question are really badly needed by ourselves. It
says: "At present we do not export goods of what
are officially called ‘strategic priority,’ but is the list
comprehensive enough?"
Wallace’s Reconversion
(Washington Post) , v
There is a small but nevertheless appreciable
number of Americans who, like Henry Wallace, were
jolted out of a more or less neurotic somnambulism
by the Korean war. Blinded by their own day-dreams
and gulled by Communist protestations of concern for
peace and the underprivileged, they denounced every
effort on the part of the United States to check
aggression as flagrant imperialism; but the Soviet
Union it seemed, could do no wrong. Then, suddenly
Korea created the condition they had never dared to
face — and actual conflict in which American soldiers
were -spending their lives to stop aggression nakedly
fomented by Russia. "When my country is at war.
and the United Nations sanctions that war,” said Mr.
I Wallace “I am on the side of my country and the
United Nations." No doubt many less conspicuous
fellow-travelers reacted in muoh the same way, by
now the ranks of the followers, said by J. Edgar
I Hoover to number half a million, are probably very
I much thinner. Love of' country often exerts -a fai
stronger pull than ideology, however doctrinaire.
In Mr Wallace's case, the dream and the awaken
ing were complicated by his illusion that he was a
great popular leader marching at the head of Gideon's
army. It could not have been easy for him to re
linquish that particular glory. It 'involved a recogni
tion. or acknowledgment, that the army was com
manded, in fact, by thO propagandists who created it.
•Henry Wallace,” says the Daily Worker, "has left
Gideon's army.” Well, that is what happens once a
leader gets out of step in such an army. In Com
munist eyes Mr. Wallace is now “supporting Wall
Street's intervention in Korea” and accepting the
imperialist propaganda concerning Soviet 'responsi
bility’ for the Korean war.” The disillusioned 1943
presidential candidate of the Progressive Party has
now retired to pick strawberries on his Connecticut
farm. We imagine he feels freer and more at home
than he has felt in a long, long time.
The government about to investigate the sudden
increase in the price of necessities,- its Very myster
ious. ' ’ *
The reason "the good old days seemed happier
times than the present is that we see them through
j the roseate haze of a twilight memory.

Achespn and U. S. foreign policy,
generally. The men he is forking
through are Senators Brewster-of I
Maine and Wherry of Nebraska, two >
of Truman's bitterest opponents . . .
Therefore, Johnson will soon feel
the full force of Senator Lyndon
Johnson's new “Truman Commit
tee," which will make a thorough
investigation of our military setup,
and lower the boom on Louey
sometime after elections. Don Cook
of the SEC will be chief counsel j
and will play his part well ■ • -I
Johnson is so bitter at Acheson ■
that iwhen he appeared before]
closedjjdoor Senate foreign relations
comrrjttee hearings, he looked I
arounj the room and inquired j
mockijpgly: "Is there anyone from
the State Department listening?”
Againjhe snarled: "This,is not they

Chmchill Predicts War—Here is
the Jiside story behind Winston
Churaiill’s stirring demand for a
unified Western European Arm)'.
Before he made it, he told Paul
Reynaud, ex-Prime Minister of
France, that he is certain war with
Russia will come before Christmas
of 1951 and the west will lose all
of Europe six weeks after the first
shot is fired unless his plan is
adopted. Churchill drew much ap
plause but no support from the
British government.
Unification Works — Congratula
tions to the three secretaries of
the Army, Navy and Air Force for
their a friendly teamwork. Sitting
around the table, they work out
mutua problems before passing
them Ton to Secretory of Defense
Johnsin. This has done away with
the inter-service bickering that used
to taje place in Johnson’s office.
As aj result, unification is now
working better than ever.
Busfciess Before Deiense — The
Army |s having trouble buying parts
for ifc equipment—because most
manujacturers are still catering to
private business. The Army can’t
get delivery on resistors for nine
months, because civilian orders have
priority. Yet resistors are essential
for walkie-talkies and tank radios,
badly needed in Korea. Dupont
has also held up a large order of
wire by raising prices on the wife
covering. So the entire order now
has to be renegotiated.
More Rent Controls—Housing ex
peditor Tighe Woods will ask Con
gress to restore his wartime power
to control rents. He wants author
ity to slap new controls on critical
housing areas and to nullify the
action of cities already decontrolled
Woods’ recommendations are now
an their way to Congress via the
budget bureau.
Acheson’s Health—rlt will be de
nied but Secretary Acheson is ser- j
iously thinking, of resigning after I
the’first Of January even though I
President Truman wants him to
stay ' oh. "Jhe terrific strain of
directing foreign policy plus Mc
Carthy’s vicious attacks have made
Acheson look ten years older. Doc
tors forced him to go on a com
plete two-week vacation, which has
helped. But many friends fear he
won’t be able to stand the pace.
Johnson’s Special Agent
Such hilarious reports have come
back to the capital regarding Sen
ator Harry Cain's comic opera trip
across Europe as "The special agent
of the Secretary of Defense," that
Secretary Johnson recently com
plained to President Truman:
" But he isn't my representative.
I never authorized him to go to
Europe for me.”
••No w.ondw Jolvtspn ’• is • worried
over the1 wfty 5 Cainl poses as Ills
“special agent.”
The senator from Washington,
dressed in the uniform of a reserve
colonel, recently lined up a group
of,generals and 1^ g. diplomats in
Germany. And -waving a finger
under the nose of a two-star gen
eral he demanded, “Now, what’s
your problem?”
The general’s eyes popped. Not
wanting to be discourteous he I
mumbled something about lack of
adequate reserves.
"Write me a memo,” snorted
Cain. “I’ll take care of that!”
As the astounded officers dis
persed, one general inquired: "Is i
that guy crazy?”
Note—The Senator from Wash
ington is not crazy, though his
twin brother has been locked up
in the booby-hatch.
Not Enough Troops---Secretary of
Defense Johnson complatAed of the
manpower shortage at, a closed
door session of the Sfihate fbreign
relations committee, but was re
luctant to do anything’ about it.
He reported that the. Army is still
six divisions short of its 18 division
goal, yet hesitates to step up the'
draft because of public reaction ...
Johnson urged a law to authorize
Universal Military Training, but
said the time is not ripe to put
UMT in action.
Home Front Preparations—With
in thirty days President Truman
will appoint a special board to ad
vise him on prices. The board will
keep a careful eye on all major
commodities and will have the
power to slap controls on any pro
ducts that get out of line . . .
Truman is also planning to set up
a new agency to take over co
ordination of civilian defense. By
the end of the year this new agency
will be passing out Federal money
to cities all over' the country in
an all-out effort to secure at least
a miqimum cjegree of defense ag
ainst surprise A-bomb attack. This
is probably the . most important—
ancj moist neglected—problem facing
the' nation
MARTHA SOCIETY TO
RESUME MEETINGS
The Martha Society will resume
regular meetings Friday, September
1, after the summer vacation. Each
member is asked to take a covered
dish for the luncheon at 1 p.m. in

INTERESTING TALK IS
GIVEN AT SKAGWAY
3Y CRUISE DIRECTOR
SKAGWAY, Alaska, Aug. 25—
(Special to the Empire)—Under the
iponsorship of the local Girl’s 4-H
Club, Edward Vidal, cruise director
of the S. S. Chilcotin, presented a
travelogue “A Voyage Around the
World,” during the stay of the.
steamer in port. In a lively enter
taining manner, Vidal gave a com
mentary with the picture slides of
scenes and people at work and play
from a Zulu colony in Africa to a
beautiful and colorful quiet park j
scene 30 miles sotitti of london on
the Thames River. _
Erom Port Elizabeth to Durbon in
South Africa, a thriving metropolis j
of English speaking people,"the tra
velor took his audience face’to face
vi-ith a much bedecked native taxi
driver in an elaborate hekd dress
of the Zulu tribe. On the desert
sands of Arabia,' the nomadic peo
ple of that country were pictured
with their flpcks of sheep gnd goats,
Across the ialm Indian Ocean
the voyager took his audiepce to
the vast country of India of many
religions, peoples and customs. The
Taj Mahal in its splendor of arch
itectural beauty showed the skill
of workmanship of ages past in that
country.
In China, where the East meets
West, visits were made to such cit
ies as Hongkong, Peking, Shanghai
and to the historical Great Wall
where a group of school girls were
shown enjoying a picnic atop the
structure. The colorful life of Tok
yo was depicted in street scenes
showing shops and shoppers in
native cosumes.
Perhaps the outstanding point of
interest in Japan was the com
mentary and picture of the statue
of Buddha which is several hundred
feet high and has^ stood the test of
time and earthquake for over 800
years. -
The islanders of Bali, happy, care
free in their simple way of living,
showed artistic skill in their hand
Carvings. The journey continued to
the Hawaiian Islands, Panama Can
al and on tp England, the native
home of,Vidal. Rio De Janerio and
other points in South America
were included in the itinerary.
At the conclusion of the illus
traed travelogue, Mr. Vidal delight
ed the audience with several piano
selections of folk tunes he has col
lected from many different coun
tries. Following the program, the
4-H Club girls entertained Vidal
and the guests at a reception in the
dining alcove of the recreation hall.
Children and adults were again
treated to the piano artistry of Mr.
Vidal.
