Anchorage Lacks
Houses, but Planes
Are Plentiful
The, Roseburg housing short
age offers no problem at all
when compared to- that In An
chorage, Alaska, writes Ivan P.
Edwards, Roseburg resident, now
employed at Anchorage.
"This city," he writes, "Is a lit
tle smaller than Roseburg with
one short paved street and the
balance like the upper North
Umpqua road. Houses are very
small and built tight Two and
three-room homes rent for $60 to
590 per month and sell for about
$5,000 If you could get one. Ev
erything Is unratloned, except
tires and motor vehicles. Candy
bars are five cents and gasoline
is 26 cents a gallon. There is no
road tax because they have no
roads. For some reason tnose
two Items are low. Everything
else Is at least double tne ftoae
bure prices.
"Wages are high but are not
in proportion to living expenses.
Any taxi pickup is $1 minimum.
Transportation is largely by air.
They claim a private plane to ev
ery 40 persons. The small planes
nave iioais or skis, especially
in winter when snow is deep.
Then thev can set down any
where. There is practically no
timber large enougn to make a
cross-tie."

their lives than the people do

The election of Wayne L.
Morse to the U. S. senate was
predicted by Governor Dewey.
Would Erase New Deal.
A crowd of about 2,000 persons
applauded with cries of "we can
do It" when Dewey said his
party's aim was to "get a new
administration, a republican con
gress and a republican senate."
"Then," he said, "with the es
tablishment of a government of
sound principles which believes
In our future, which wants to
create Jobs and to go forward,
we can wipe out the dismal years
of the New Deal. We can for
get the regimentation and the
slow supping towurds a totali
tarian economy. We can eo for
ward again, a free and a united
people, to better and happier
days than this country has ever
seen.
In a stop at Klamath Falls,
Ore., Dewey told a crowd of
about 1,000 persons at the rail
road station that all the west
needs is "a national government
mat says go to it and tnere will
be Jobs for all."
Personal Freedom Wanted.
He called for a cabinet that
"wholly represents the people of
the United States and does not
forget large sections of the Unit
ed States." There is no need, he
sam lor a government that tells
every citizen what to do from
the time he drinks his orancre
Juice in the morning until he
puts on nis pajamas at nignt."
Dewey will meet with aircraft
and motion picture groups In Los
Angeles before his speech there
at 8 p. m., Pacific war time, to
morrow. -
Dewey's entry Into the state
brings the presidential race home
to California, whose 25 electoral
votes Js the largest of the west
and equals that of Ohio. Both
parties consider the stale a bat
tleground of major importance.
Situation in China
Causes Allied Worry
(Continued from page 1)
situation shapes up like this:
China has been at war con
stantly for seven years. For al
most live years sne nas been
blockaded cut off from outside
supplies except the handfuls
flown In. During this period of
blockade tne cnugking govern
ment has lost close relationship
with the people and their local
ann regional leaders.
These leaders have grown In
creasingly dissident. The com
munist groups In north China,
long opposed by the government
of Generalissimo Chiang Kai
Shck, have grown more nower-
ful, Other opposition groups have1
come to the fore, particularly In
Kwangsi province.
Armies Lack Supplies
Economic difficulties, Inflation
and shortages have made the lot
of the people Increasingly miser
able. The armies fight without
even a minimum of necessary
arms. They are In many Instances
poorly led, and they feel they
have less and less to fight for.
The allied command setup Is
regarded here as hopelessly com
plicated. American General Stll
well serves two masters as chief
of staff to Chiang and an officer
of the allied commander in south
east Asia and Burma, Lord Louis
Mountbatten. Mountbatten in
turn Is subject to decisions of
General Auchinleck, India com
mander, for. troops. Auchlnlcck's
primary concern is to preserve or-
uer in inaia.
The allied high command call
ed off plans for an amphibious
assault on Rangoon, Burma, a
year ago so that the campaign In
interior Burma has had to go
forward alone against Incredible
hardships. But It is the only cam
paign that has held promise di
rectly for the Chinese.
