The letter is dated at Whitehorse, Y. T. "My duties here," he writes, "have taken me over the en tire Alaska highway from Daw son creek to Fairbanks, a dis tance of 1600 miles. This has been both by car and plane. . . . "I am enclosing an edition of the Whitehorse Star. It is the weekly paper of this northern settlement which is the center of civilization for these parts, but if you should have any doubts as to its wildness you will note the article on the front page about wolves devouring the horses at a small tradng post about 50 miles from here." Mr. Ricketts writes that he may return to Salem for a short time in February, and will go back to Alaska in March to fin ish the 1944 bridge program.

To the Editor: Igor Stravin sky, the noted Russian com poser, is meeting with a deserv ed rebuff in his attempt to in troduce his own arrangement of our national anthem via the Boston symphony orchestra. "The Star Spangled Banner" was conceived by a lawyer, Francis Scott Key, when he was detained aboard a British flag ship during the night bombard ment of Fort McHenry, one of the forts defending Baltimore during the war of 1812. The anxiety and mental anguish en dured during the night and the heartfelt jog as the breaking dawn revealed that our flag was still there is vividly depicted in the words of his composition. It was published a few days la ter, and, striking a responsive chord in the American people, was received with open arms and almost immediately sung through the nation. For over a hundred years it held its place as one of our na tional anthems, but not until 1931, during Hoover's adminis tration, was it selected and by hi nrn Soothe, cool, relieve diaper nwh often pre vent it with Mctsann, the astringent medicated powder.

VP) The army freighter Nevada is shown a few moments before of the North Atlantic last December after battling .a violent act of congress made the na tional anthem. And now comes a foreign-born, publicity-seeking musician who would like to tear it asunder, decompose what a great American com posed, and hash it up as we have seen so many of our dear old melodies by some so-called jazz artist, until they are hardly recognizable. The tune, as it has been sung for over a century and a quar ter, is recognized throughout the civilized world as strictly American, like the words, which are comparable only to those of Joseph Rodman Drake in his Address to the Flag. I think congress should pass a law mak ing it as much of a misdemeanor to desecrate our national an them as our flag. F. W. ENNOR. 2485 Laurel Ave., Salem.

Accidents Kill II Tl 1 1 f More man war Washington, Jan. 21 VP) . War-time industrial accidents killed 7,000, more persons than battle wounds up to January 1. Workingmen's injuries sinffc Pearl Harbor are responsible for the loss of four times as many man-hours of production as strikes. The damage and destruction of equipment in workers' ac cidents "far exceeds the value of American cargoes that have been sunk." Lost work from on-the-job accidents totals 450,000,000 man-days, enough to have built 7,500 average size merchant, ships. ' The office of war Information (OWI), in presenting these fi gurcs Thursday, declared acci dents in war plants are "a ma jor production and manpower problem," with the wartime safety program lagging far be hind the needs of expanded production lines. Under the tight delivery problem exacted by war, OWI said it is literally true that "thei death or disability of a skillecrf war worker here can mean the death of several fighting men overseas."
