Uniforce looks exactly like a command headquarters, although it has no troops to command. Most of the concrete progress at Fontainebleau has been on the technical level. Map work and photographic interpretation have been standardized, as well as some technical equipment, such as naval couplings, which will permit ships of all Western Union navies to refuel one another at sea. The metric linear measure system has been accepted by Western Union artillery, but centigrade has not yet triumphed over Fahrenheit. Basic manuals for all Western Union forces will be published. The five sovereign nations have not, however, exchanged their secret...
...inauguration, Bunnell sounded an old alarm. The impoverished Territorial Legislature had given its university next to nothing for two years, and the regents have had to borrow $225,000 so far to pay off fuel bills and salaries. To Terris Moore, Charles Bunnell made a pledge: "We will not permit the university to close, if we have to go to the people who believe in Alaska and borrow our needs in ten and twenty dollar bills...

There would still be bans on mass picketing and jurisdictional strikes, but the ban on secondary boycotts would be slightly relaxed. The new Taft bill would also require management as well as union bosses to sign non-Communist affidavits ; lift Taf t-Hartley...
Yale's President Charles Seymour agreed. He wanted no Communists on Yale's campus, but, said he, "we shall permit no hysterical witch hunt. We shall not impose an oath of loyalty upon our faculty." Yale, he said, had abandoned trying to "enforce conformity by oath over 125 years ago." Despite this "lack of control," added Seymour, "we have done pretty well in service to 'church and civil state...
