Palmer. Known locally t the Chickaloon highway, the new route opens a previously im passable route between the Cu gach and Talkeetna mountains, cutting through high passes and over swamps, the highway gives Anchorage its first connection with the interior aside from the Alaska railway. y The highway was constructed in secret and has been in operation lor some time. Crew working from both ends ef the 15. feet Alaska railway bore met in the middle almost directly under the cen ter of the glacier covered mean tain, as officials looked on and eonrratolated themselves in reaching the high point In the Alaska railway cutoff construc tion weQ ahead, of schedule. The new tunnel will slash 60 miles from the haul necessary to ' thi interior "throueh elimination' of that much twisting roadbed which frequently ' caused much! trouble in winter. ' Completion of the tunnel, offi- dais indicated, may also result in . the establishment of a new Alas kan port city on Whittier canal in Prince .

The work was managed by Maj. C. B. Burgoyne, army resident engineer, and A. M. Coker, super intendent of the West Construc tion company. The cost was placed at $530,000. Col. O. F. Ohlson, general man ager of the Alaska railway, es timated the construction would re sult in a 30 per cent decrease in freight rates to Anchorage and a ' cut of between 7 and 8 per cent i for the Fairbanks end of the line.

Asso ciated Press Telemat Presidential Tariff Rule Gains Way WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 Broad legislation granting Presi dent Roosevelt new wartime pow er to suspend immigration and tariff regulations was approved Saturday by a house ways and means subcommittee but with a restriction to meet complaints that the bill might break down immigration controls. The redrafted measure approv ed unanimously by the subcom mittee contained, in large meas ure, the general authority which President Roosevelt recently re quested to speed the war effort. There have been protests on Cap itol Hill that the tariff and im migration . authority ' granted the president would be too broad. In general, the new measure would give the president the right to waive statutory restrictions against the entry or egress of persons, property or information, provided he found such action necessary to the war effort. Limitations were written into the bill designed to meet the argu ments of those who charged that the measure would break down the immigration system, that the powers could still be used in the period of armistice after the war has ended. : " Under its terms, tan 5 alien who gained entrance to this country through presidential suspension of the immigration law would be barred from remaining here long-: er than six months after the act permitting the suspension had ex pired. Food Plants Survey Due WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (,F The agriculture department will make a survey of the nation's 3000 fruit and vegetable process ing plants to determine whether their facilities are being used ef fectively and efficiently in produ cing war food needs. , Information to be obtained from each plant will cover commodities produced, capacity, sources of raw materials, employes required, storage facilities and inventory of both used and unused equipment The department said in order to avoid waste of food, transporta tion, manpower, production and processing operations must, be co ordinated. Data to be secured through the survey will be used, It said, in establishing such coor dination. 1 Auto Signup Heavy Here More than 11,000 registration certificates . have been issued at the state motor vehicle department during the past few days to per sons desiring to obtain ! gasoline rationing. Secretary of State Earl Snell reported here Saturday. Snell said the demand for title registrations came as the motor vehicle division was preparing for the usual year-end rush for auto mobile licenses. This, year, Snell said, motor vehicle owners will re ceive windshield stickers in lieu of new license plates, due to the war emergency. Owners who have new 1942 plates will. validate the old plates with the new sticker , which is to be attached to the upper center of the windshield directly behind the rear vision mirror. $69.. for Ashes - . . Asked of Bank' ; GALESBURG, ILL, Nov. 21 () Clifton Hall, a farmer living near Maquon, deposited $69 worth of ashes at a Galesburg bank Sat urday hoping the government would issue new money for it - He explained that the ashes represented the contents of ' his billfold after it had spent an hour or so on top of the kitchen range. Hall and his wife don't know how it got there, but their two year old sxn, Billy, is under suspicion. t V Long Distance Charge Guts Ordered WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 ) The government called Saturday for a second reduction in long distance telephone charges. American Telephone & Tele graph company, the nation's larg est corporation, was ordered by the federal communications com mission to show why it should not substantially reduce toll rates and other charges in the face of com mission figures indicating excess earnings of $47,000,000 to $62, 000,000 this year. A hearing was fixed for December 18. In addition to defending its charges, A. T. & T. was ordered to show why an immediate reduction in rates pending conclusion of the investigation should not be made. Washington Tries Guayule PULLMAN, Nov. 21 E. H. Steffen, head of the depart ment of forestry and range man agement at Washington State col lege, said Saturday forestry offi cials are sufficiently impressed with Washington's, chances for growing guayule plants that they are making many more plants available for experiments. Steffen said 93 of 100 plants survived transplanting last spring from their native habitat in the southwest to the experiment sta tion here and lived satisfactorily through the first growing season, but he added this winter would be the critical period for the rubber producing plants. He reported Maj. Evan W. K el ley, Saunas, Calif., in charge of the experiments, has sent another 100 plants to the experiment sta tion at Puyallup and next spring will send an additional 100 to the station at Prosses. fNo Slur,' Says Jeff ers WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 - (JP) Rubber Administrator William M. Jeff ers assured a congressional group Saturday that he meant no reflection on them when he pro tested that opposition to nation wide gasoline rationing was be ing financed "by people who should know better" but gave no assurance that; he would delay the program beyond December 1 for further study. He was called before the com mittee after several members of the anti-rationing bloc largely composed of congressmen from western and southwestern oil producing states angrily protest ed Jeffers speech in New York yesterday assailing opopsition to the rationing. " i ' r For two hours he was closeted in executive session with the committee, discussing the speech and rubber problems, and upon emerging was asked by newsmen: Did you succeed in pouring oil on the troubled waters?" , "There was no need for pour ing oil," he replied. "Our relations were amiable., Rep. Johnson (D-Okla.),- in whose office the session was held, agreed that Jeffers was "cour teous, and gave us a lot of Infor mation. ,"V .' j 1 1 . .: $109000,000 Cake I Cut for; Tobacco j Z i M ; Heiress Monday - ! - f SOMERVILLE, " NJ, Nov. 21 (Ar-Doris Duke, tobacco ' heiress, will celebrate her 30th birthday anniversary Monday and receive one of the biggest birthday pres ents in humane history. ?

OXeary said, explaining- that 'such "consumers were among the largest users of all foods. j The butter freeze does not ne cessarily mean that butter ration ing is in the offing, officials em phasized, although it makes pos sible ' increased government buy ing. : : - , Earlier in the week, informed agriculture department searees who eoold not . be e.aeted by name revealed that Secretary Wiekard had drafted a proposal for rationing batter and cheese and, in some of the larger ci ties, fluid milk. His proposal. It was said, now la before the foods requirements committee of WPB. Only a few months ago house wives were being urged to buy more cheese. But U-boats then were preventing shipment of much of the cheese produced and storage space was overtaxed. Now sub marine activity has fallen off and the time is ripe for heavy ship ments of dairy products, while simultaneously their production has dropped even below the nor mal seasonal decline of labor and other shortages. Rationing of coffee win start at 12:01 a. m. November 29 when coupon No. 27 in every grown up's ration book the familiar sugar books becomes valid for one pound of coffee. That pound must last until January 3, which works out at about one cup a day The week-long freeze after mid night will enable grocers to stock their shelves with coffee and OPA assured that there would be enough for all. However, officials asked householders to buy no more than they needed at the start so as not to tax distribution facilities and run some grocers temporarily short Hotels, restaurants, hospitals and ether institutional were wdl be permitted to bay eeffee at retail without interruption, as will the military services. The institutional users will get their purchase certificates November 23-25, Inclusive from local ra tion boards. Coffee stamps under rationing can not be used from any book showing that its user was under 15 in May, when the book was issued. Further, those who have more than one pound of coffee on hand per person November 28 should not purchase more until excess is used. Consumers will be required later to certify the amount in their cupboards November 28 and to surrender coupons covering the surplus. Briton Raps Censorship LONDON, Nov. 21 (A) The Sunday Dispatch late Saturday night published prominently on page one a report from Don Id don, its New York correspondent declaring the United States cen sorship of outgoing messages is preventing the British people from getting a complete picture of America at war. "There have been many import ant -developments here which have appeared in the American press and have been read by millions of people which we have not been al lowed to send to England," Iddon wrote. "There have been criti cisms of the war effort and di rections made publicly here in the press and over the radio which you have not heard because the American censorship has stopped us from sending them." He asserted hewas taking ad vantage of the declaration by Byron Price, director , of censor ship, at the recent British corres pondents dinner that "you - can say what you like about our cen sorship, that won't be censored.

Crisp curls of bacon, tender eggs, steaming, fragrant coffee ah, that WAS a breakfast fit for king or American, Today we bid the last of these a lingering fare well. So far as -the second cup of coffee is concerned, probably it's gone for the duration, and, to me, the second cup is better than the first But when I think, of coffee ijthink of my Norwegian friends. And when I think of j breakfast one of those friends, in particular, comes to my mind. V I To a landlubber a meal aboard ship is always a little more flavor ful than one served on terra firms (that is, if the ship is quietly at dock), and my breakfast aboard the long, silver-colored Norwegian freighter was no exception. ; , j For a variety of reasons we were invited to join the captain at his 8. o'clock meal. The large round table in the officer's salon was covered with shining damask. Its centerpiece was a sparkling cut glass punchbowl larger than any I had ever before seen. 1 On a mound of cracked ice in that bowl lay great cream and rose crabs, cracked so artistically j that one had to investigate closely to de termine that the creatures were not still alive. They were gar nished with deep-green -parsley. i The white-coated waiter brought in great platters of hot , steak (there were, I believe,! six of us altogether), a bowl of hot boiled eggs, to add to the food already on that ample table. There ( were a half dozen varieties of cheese, an equal selection in cold meats, pick led herring, salmon in jelly it neared smorgasboard proportions, and the captain apologized because of the lack of potatoes and gravy. Frankly I smiled widely, but the food that tasted good was the Farm Labor Plan Ready For Trial I i - I. I WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l-P) The agriculture department will inaugurate next week Jan exper imental program for recruiting, training and placing year-around farm workers to help meet an ag ricultural labor shortage expected to reach 1,500,000 in 1943 if its present trends continue. The program will involve 300 farmers from unproductive farms in Kentucky and northern Wiscon sin. The 150 Kentucky farmers will be given a three-weeks' train ing at Ohio State university at Columbus and on nearby dairy farms. At the completion of their training they will be placed on farms needing help. The Wisconsin farmers will be placed immediately inasmuch as they have had some farm dairy experience. 1 j The department's bureau of ag ricultural economics j estimated that the shortage would reach 1,500,000 workers next year if present military induction and in dustrial employment trends con tinue.

Education Aid Bill's Early Okeh Urged WASHINGTON, Nov 21 Proponents of a federal program to allot $300,000,000 a year for aid to schools urged Saturday that the long-pending measure be speedily enacted In view of cur tailments in state revenue caused by the war but economy advocates promised a fight Senator Pepper (D-Fla.) said he hoped 'the measure could be called up Monday after the sen ate takesU the cloture vote which is expected to kill the anti-poll tax bilL But Senator Byrd (D-Va.), chairman of the joint congression al economy : committee, .told re porters that "This is certainly no time to give $300,000,000 to the states when the federal govern ment needs every, dollar for the war Pepper indicated he thought the money angle of secondary im portance.. Sponsors of the bill declared that the war would curtail local revenues available for school pur poses since rationing i would re duce income from state sales taxes and restrictions on motor ing would cut the collections of gasoline and motor vehicle license taxes. Further, they said, the sal aries of low-paid teachers must be advanced to overcome the lure of high wages in war industry. The bill provides that no Unit ed States official shall exercise any control over local schools which receive 'aid but Byrd de clared that "passage of this bill will inevitably lead to federal control of the school system." "The federal government would dictate our - school systems and tell us how to run them," he said. "That was the story of federal aid for building highways, and it would just be the same story in the schools." . Byrd; said the federal govern ment already had relieved the states of many financial burdens and asserted "there isn't a state in the union which isn't able to educate its own children." Poll Tax Bill Death Likely WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 -() The senate held a clinic Saturday over, the moribund anti-poll tax bill, but lectures by its friends and foes only deepened the gen eral conviction that the. measure would die Monday. One formality remained to' be carried out By the terms of an agreement which ended a seven day filibuster, senators will , vote at 1 p. m. Monday on invoking the cloture rule, which would limit each member to one. hour's dis cussion. 'I A two-thirds majority would be required to put the rule into ef fect, and even the strangest sup porters of the measure conceded their inability to muster that many votes, against the close-knit oppo sition led by a group of southern senators. The bill would abolish the 'collection of poll taxes as a prerequisite to voting in. elections involving federal officials. Year-Arouncf Classes Set PULLMAN, Nov. 21 (JPi President EL O.
