THE DIES COMMITTEE

. It appears that quite a storm is brewing around the heads of the members of the House Committee on un-American Activities. Or perhaps should say around the ears of Congressman Martin Dies of Texas who happens to be unfortunate enough to be chairman of the committee, and thus it has become popularly known the Dies Committee. The committee has been prodding into reputed American activities to the tune of about $25o0O expense money allotted it by Congress. Now the money is just about spent, Chairman Dies reports, in predicting the investigations will have to stop un less more money is forthcoming.
 In the meantime the committee has dug up about as much opposition as it has information on American activities.
 Some weeks ago Secretary Ickes took few sly digs at the committee facetiously remarkng that of the committees outstanding achievements was making a Communist out of Shirley Temple. The other evening Paul Anderson Washington news paper correspondent, followed Chairman Dies a radio program and declared some of the most fam tastic yarns heard outside of the insane asylum have been gravely accepted by this committee" He further asserted the investigation by the committee has been "slipshod and shockngly unfair"
 Correspondent Anderson's broadcast was spon- sored by the Democratic National Committee ndicat- ing that despite the fact that Congressman Dies is a Democrat from Orange Texas, the activities of his committee is not meeting with general administration approval
 Until the committee makes it's complete report to Congress, the full Knowledge of what the nvestga- ton has uncovered will not be known Perhaps it is S25 0c0 well spent But in view of the attendant pub licy it would sometimes appear that a Congressional investigation is poor way to inquire into un-Ameri- can activities. It may be little too much like law enforcement body announcing a couple of days in advance that Tuesday at o'clock it is going to arrest somebody giving the name The real culprit, naturally enough is going to vanish, and it may be that the announced intentions of such committee as the Dies group gave ample time for subversive forces to up their major tracks and leave only
 little sensational blah for the committee to work
 It is probably true, at least it has proven so on many occasions that the way to meet quiet under mining forces. whether it be against government or something else, is by their own methods and not by blowing the trumpet.

Two New Planes
 Going North for
 Po||aCk AirWays

Jim Brewster, airplane pilot we'll known in Juneau where he worked with Alaska Air Transport two years ago, went thhough here on the Baranof with two new airp- lanes for Frank Pollack in Fair banks.
 One of the planes is a Bellanca Skyrocket with about $1000 worth of gold leaf decoration on its sleek fuselage, according to Brewster. The other is a Stinson B. The Bellanca has a $50 Wasp and the Stinson a 215 Lycoming.
 Also with Brewster is his wife, formerly Inez West, of Juneau and his baby Two mechanics, Jim Latta and Ed Taylor also are going with Brewster.
 Latta was with the Chinese Ma tional AirWays until a year ago when things got too high over there"

We confess to feeling bit strong in voicing agree with the National Association of Manufacturers. But in its challenge to the Dies "Un-American In vestigating Committee that organization is on very solid ground.
 John c. Metealfe investigator for the commit tee pleading for additional funds for its probe, made the statement that certain high industralists are supporting Nazi movement in this country.

 We believe that the vast majority of American employers have more time for Fascism and Nazi- ism than they have for Communism.

 Conflicting planetary aspects are active today, according to astrology. The early morning is promising for persons in authority Government officials, army and naval officers, business executives should benefit.
 While there is a threatening sign affecting industry, labor difficult ties come under mildly helpful sway about noon. Strikes will be of special concern on the Pacific Coast.
 Mars is in a place of sinister por- tent and astrologers warn that the white race is to meet its most se- were test in coming months. Modern civiliza ton will be judged by it's failures rather than its great achievements.
 i There is a promising sign for edu- cators and students New vacations will enroll young men and young women for thorough training.
 Chemists come under direction of the stars which presages profit through food preparations as well as through death-dealing products.
 Girls are subject to a direction of the stars which should turn at tention to public services Surgery and nursing will become more. pop ular as professions for women.
 For many months astrologers have predicted for Adolf Hitler a period of ill health. Venus in his ruling planet with Mars and Saturn in aspects said to explain his desire for power. This has been prophesied as a most unfavorable month. By 1940 or before, a catastrophe is fore cast for the dictator.

The latter port, with 10000 workers, closed Longshoremen re- fused to invade picket lines The employers association threatened to close the port of Tacoma unless longshoremen returned to work and unloaded cargo from the Shephard vessel Timber Rush.
 The longshoremen refused, the port of Tacoma was closed, and AFL seamen immediately embargoed all water freight destined to or from Tacoma and diverted to other ports On May T, five boats were tied up in Seattle. May II, sailors and fire men on seven vessels in Portland struck, and that same day the AFL sailors union of Seattle notified employers that no vessel would leave port on May 13 unless the port of Tacoma was opened and men would be called off all ships enter ing Seattle harbor

LAWS SOUGHT

While such affairs brought 10 concrete settlement of inter-union fights they had other effects. Hun dreds of workmen and many locals, concerned over their loss of wages, began demanding an end of juris- dictional strife which threw them out of work.
 And the three troubled Pacific Coast states advanced legislative proposals, to be voted on next month, wing jurisdictional strikes, curbing sitdown strikes and picketing, and proposing re- strictions on labor organiza tions such as the unions had not faced ln many a year.

PAYNE ASSA|LS
n. B. c. PRESIDENT
Commissioner Says Probe
May Answer Sarnoff
on Radio Control. {.
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

Assailing David Sarnon, head of the
National Broadcasting Co., for his at
tack on Government regulation of the
radio broadcasting, Commissioner
George Henry Payne Of the Federal
Communications Commission, in ad-
dressing a radio school here last night,
sought to answer some of the Sarnoff
charges. but said the only effective
answer to them would be long-need-
ed congressional investigation. Com
missioner Payne several. weeks ago
sought to have the commission pass
resolution inviting a congressional
investigation Of itself.
Commissioner Payne said Mr. Sar-
nofI's attack was evidence Of the or
ganized movement Of what he termed
the radio monopoly to mould public
opinion to its will. and to control not
only the radio industry but the COM
mission.
Alludes to Mae West Incident.
From the head of the company
that was responsible for the Mae West
broadcast, one might well have expect
ed a milder note" said Mr.. Payne.
There is not word of apology for
the blood-curdling programs that do
harm to children, nor for the char
acter Of the programs that have been
described in SO many places as moron
ic and fit only for the intellect of a
child of IL.
Heretofore" he continued, every
attempt to reform radio broadcasting
or to loosen its control on the govern
mental regulatory body has been
| fought in secret by the arrogant lobby
which Mr.. Sarnoff helps to maintain
| In Washington. Now, apparently the
fight is to be continued in the open
by Mr. Sarnoff himself"
Discussing Mr. Sarnoff's comparison
! Of the service Of the radio to the doc
tor and the lawyer, Mr.. Payne said
those professional men do not use the
frequencies owned by the public, and,
citing the large sums which he said
were paid for radio stations, he asked {:
whoever heard of doctor or a law
yer selling his practice at fabulous
| profits?"
Air Belongs to People
"Mr. Sarnoff," Commissioner Payne
continued. has omitted to say that

for every good program worthy of the
intelligence of the public perhaps 100
programa are offered which are trite
and stultifying. OF course the sug-
eestion may be made that we may
turn Oh our radio But such q sug-
gestion is in line with the suggestion
that II we do not like the price
charged for electricity we can use
candles, or If we do not like the price
charged for the telephone we can dis
continue its use. Radio Is Of prime
importance to the public. and it will
not do without 1t. On the contrary,
the public will find a way Of getting
from radio the maxium of decent and
intelligent service, for the wave lengths
are the propery Of the people.
Mr.. Sarnoh suggests that the license
period for broadcast stations be
heightened. but he forgets that even
with the present six months period
the broadcasters, as . class. have be-
come negligent of the public interest
and arrogant. They are filling the
air with trivial programs. They are
filling our homes with propaganda
and the blare Of advertising. readily
admit, and am glad to do so, that a
few Of the radio programs are worthy
of the intelligence Of the public, but
unfortunately the vast majority are
either silly or degrading"
Mr.. Payne charged that the rate Of
profit made by many broadcasters IS
far in excess of that earned by the
American Telephone g. Telegraph Co.
or by the United States Steel Corp.
The business of the broadcaster, he
said, is unique in that his main asset.
almost his sole asset" is something
that has been loaned to him by the
Government without charge.
