THAT INVESTIGATION

The legislative committee which has been in vestigatng things about the operation of the Terri toral Deartrnent of Labor under its former commits sioner wound up sessions last night. Now they can clean the mud off the Senate Chamber floor. S Through the stuffy little chamber of the Upper House during the last many evenings have marched the stinking ghosts of many dead election and po- tical maneuver. Mud slung freely by both sides. whether not any good will come of it is another thing. gtf < Some questions were still unanswered. Shortly after Haas left the Territorial job and appoint ed to Federal labor job in Alaska we questioned the wiseness of the move from an economy stand point.
 Why, wondered if the former commissioner was able to save the Federal government money by assuming Federal jobs in Alaska on labor matters, wasn't the newly elected commissioner deemed capable of assuming these duties We questioned the appointment from economy standpoint.
 It seems apparent that once Haas was de- feated in the election last year, arrangements were made to transfer the Federal duties he had assumed out of the Territorial agency and into Haas hands.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-03-16

This must have been true because Haas stated under oath that he had been ordered to remove the Federal labor files from the office The ques- tion of why these files removed not asked by the committee
 Another question is posed. These Federal records said to have filled five six" boxes Yet no Territorial records left in the Department files near that volumnous. It follows then that most of his work being done for the Federal govern ment-not the Territorial agency-but the Territory paying for it. Otherwise why the Terri toral files sma?'
 The voters defeated Haas at the polls, The Fed eral government has reinstated him by appointment from whence he came. Haas is lame duck, and he might be good one But though Alaskas voters said they didn't want him, they've got him. So the election didn't decide very much.
 This appointment the duplication of duties, the expense involved isn't so important taken alone. But behind it we see a defeat of purpose Such ap pointment, by it's very nature separation of the people of Alaska, division that is not whole some at this time, bad enough at any time
 Haas evidently has important labor job in Alaska He does not have the support of all labor perhaps not a majority We have had one small unions statement of backing for Haas and his ideas On the other hand we have received many letters from larger unions in opposition to him. and legislation which Haas proposed in his report to the Legislature. -f}

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
Wednesday, March IT

Benefic aspects rule today. on
 the high seas and in the air suc- cess may be expected under this
 configuration. Labor may present
 new problems in war industries.
 HEART AND HOME: Age takes on a new significance at this time when old things are passing away and American customs are chang ing under stress of war exigencies. The voice of experience will mean much in families where members are willing to listen to advice. This is an suspicious date for serious planning for home comforts on the rationing system which can be made quite adequate for everyday needs, if housekeepers prove care ful managers. Girls today should think of their work and should for get romance.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Mining this Spring should be fortunate in many parts of the country. Needed metals will be found in various states, the seers predict. Respecting according to scientific methods will be successful on the West Coast and in Alaska. Government drec- ton of business and it's ownership of vast interests will maintain pros perity through Summer of amaz- ing activities. The fact that every able bodied person can procure work will assure general optimism despite war losses.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: With the pinch of rationed foods self-indul- gent Americans will be inclined to blame our lendlease program for shortages of many products. The seers warn against such nisconcep- tion. Because great quantities of supplies must be shipped to Europe, Asia and Africa for our fighting men. careful allotments of meats, vegetables, coffee, milk and other necessary articles cannot be avoid ed Since every sacrifice at home
 means sustenanoe for our men, none should find fault. Moreover food sent to Russia or China means that support is thus given to sold iers who are fighting our battles and protecting the United States from invasion, astrologers empha- size.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: In the steady and determined march toward ultimate victory. the United Nations must fight every step of the way and the stars presage stop pages and setbacks now and then Forecasts indicate that Russia will encounter obstacles this Spring when her valiant armies are weary and assailed by endorsements of desperate Nazis, but the Summer is to be fortunate. Stalin is to cause amazement by his resourcefulness and his unsuspected power.

SET at S11,161,000,0O0

Income payments to individuals
IN April amounted to sl1,16l 900 900,
bringing the total for the first four
months Of l943 to s43,574 900 900, an
increase of q per cent over the
amount paid out in the same period
last year. the Commerce Depart
ment reported today.
Nearly nine -tenths of the gain
during the first four months over
the corresponding period in 1912 is
due to increases in manufacturing
wages and salaries Federal payrolls,
including those of the armed forces,
and in the net income of farm oper-
ators, the department said.
Although 25 per cent above the
total for the same month last year.
April income payments fell slightly

The sudden stroke by which an
Argentine Army group chased
out President Ramon Castillo
and took over the government
was hailed in United Nations
capitals today as bad news for
the Axis.
There was no official comment in
either London or Washington, but
one qualified observer in Washington
remarked that the situation looks
pretty good" for severance of Ar
gentina's diplomatic ties with the
Axis.
All London afternoon newspapers
referred to the Castillo government
as pro-Axis and Lord Beaverbrook
Evening Standard said editorially
that the Argentines have struck
fierce diplomatic blow and sounded a
warning which other politicians still
sitting in neutrality's saddle would
do we'll to heed
Axis Minimizes Effects.
The Standard added that the Ar
genuine revolution has started a
campaign which would lead ito the
collapse OF every vestige of Fascist
influence throughout the world
On the basis of enemy press
transmlssions recorded by the Fed
eral Communications Commission,
the Office of War Information re-
ported that Axis reaction was
marked by extreme caution coupled
with efforts to minimize its effect
by disseminating misinformation.
The Nazi DNB news agency was
said to have reported that Gen.
Pedro Ramirez, one of the Argen-
tine revolt leaders. had been taken
prisoner and that the government
now has the situation in hand"
Allied Wire Pulling Blamed.
Taking a position in keeping with
its propaganda practices, DNB held
it was significant that the first
news of the revolt came from
British and American sources"
If the reports should be con-
flrmed - it said, this, in the
opinion of local (BerlinD political
circles. would be proof of United
States wire-p pulling which is at
tempting. by all means at its dis
posal, to draw the last independent
South American states into the war
against the Tripartite Pact powers
under the guise of American solid
arity"
The Owl said the japanese Domei
agency had reported that "uncon-
flrmed British reports" told of IAN
abortive attempt at revolt against
the government Domei added:
In view of the nature of the
abortive revolt, it is obvious that
American fifth columnists are in
terested in seeing Argentina aban-
don its policy of neutrality and were
instrumental in engineering the
mutiny."
Elmer Davis, Owl director, de-
clared that the revolution means
that even the conservative and mill
tary classes in Argentina realize

that the Axis is going to lose the
war"
Argentina's Latin American neigh
bors generally greeted the news as a
democratic move.
In Rio de Janeiro. Brazilians
scrambled for newspaper extras de-
failing the developments and one
dealer said he never had seen such
heavy demand for papers.
Oswalda Aranha, the Brazilian
Foreign Minister, remained at his
Office until late at night. to keep
abreast of developments. but said he
would withhold comment until the
situation Is clarified.
A source close to the Peruvian
foreign office at Lima said the news
caused an impression"
In Mexico, which has had many
! revolutions of its own in its history
official comment was withheld. But
indicative of the wide interest was
the generous space devoted to the
story by newspapers.

bassador to Argentina now back in

President Castillo's policies had been
contrary to popular sentiment"
News PIeases Venezuelans.
THE immediate results he added
will be more favorable for spiritual
, unity of the continent. and for
Americanism. The logical thing is
that the new Argentine regime will
break diplomatic relations with the
Axis"
The news was received with great
and the man on the street uni
versally commented in this vein
What good thing! Certainly Ar
gentina will break relations with the
Axis Immediately.
Crowds thronged eXcitedlv around
newspaper bulletin boards in Santi-
ago, Chile, and informed quarters
there were represented as constru-
ing the revolution to mean a definite
turning point toward the Allied
cause.
In Bolivia the public in La Paz
received the news avidly and re-
garded the movement as having
democratic tendencies.
U. S. Recognition Seen.
In Buenos Aires itself the news
was splashed by the pro-democrat tic
press as a great victory, but the pro-
Nazi Ell Pampero confined itself to
the headline: Castillo Abandons
Government"
Recognition of new government
in Argentina by the United States
appeared virtually assured provid-
ing it met with three requirements:
l. Its ability to maintain order.
2. It's demonstration that it was
in effective control of the govern
ment.
g. It's recognition of international
obligations
The former policy of non-recogni-
tion OF any government that came
into power through the use of force
has been abandoned since 1890, in
the Washington view.
