TEIlR0UGlE THdS POLITICAL
 PERTgG0PE
.

Tops in political interest and leaving the legal profession and a lot of politicians hanging on the ropes in surprise was the formal an- nouncement this week by Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes of the ap- pointment of George ". Folta, As sistant District Attorney in the First Division. as Alaska attorney for the Department of Interior, a newly created and lucrative position.
 Known only to few of the h. terior Departments inner circle in the north, Folta was assayed and found favorable for the post even before 1t was presented to him about two months ago Politicians. who naturally would have been in there plugging for some political buddy, were left in the dark. the point be- ing that the new job was to be filled solely by person capable of hand 1 ling it, regardless of political affil- iation. Fo1ta's outstanding record as a prosecutor, his unanimous en- dorsement as an able man by every department head and his passive at titude in political affairs labeled him as the man for the job When he abandoned the idea of filing as candidate for Attorney General he had virtually accepted the offer. * &*
 Folta's appointment should meet with universal approval throughout the Territory. A true Alaskan, with depth of character, keen knowledge of law and thorough insight into Alaska problems this ripening young man has proven he has what it takes and Alaskans can be proud of the fact they had the man to fill the bill when the call came. Those who have cursed Harold Ickes on other
 things should be able to give him credit on this one.
 At A, George Folta is a living example of a young man with am bition, determined to get somewhere.
 He started out in Alaska as a clerk in the Steamboat Inspectors office. l He studied and became a court re- porter-court officials will tell you one of the best ever developed in ! the north. He was secretary of eX- Governor George A. Parks, and serY- ed in the Governors office under Riggs and Bone He studied law and
 was admitted to the bar. His record as a prosecutor has bruoght uni
 yersaI recognition. An FBI man,
 familiar with prosecutors in the
 States. once told your periscoper
 that Folta was one of the best pros
 eeut0rs it had ever been his privil-
 ege to see in court The same strong
 approval can be heard from col
 leagues in the legal profession
 ! Tn his new position, Folta will be the legal advisor for the Interior
 Department in Alaska. including all
 departments such as the Governor E
 office, Indian office, Biological Sur. yey, Bureau of Fisheries, Public
 Survey office and so on. It's a big ! job but Alaskans need have no fear
 but that he will be able to fill il efficiently.
 Having shot the salt chuck with
 George at night-the only foolish thing We ever heard of him doing
 and that had nothing to do with law, except the law of nature-youI
 periscoper adds his nickers worth :
 A couple of buds to Secretary
 Ickes for a dandy appointment and
 wild goose to Folta. the man the
 darn geese always seem to dodge
