Wherry of Nebraska, who replaced
Statesman George Norris, and Tom
Stewart of Tennessee Both Sena-
tors apparel at a hearing of WIPES
small business committee to ask
WIPE officials to grant nine tons
of extra paper to the Police Ga
zette. Come back of WPB officials
was that hundreds of religious
journals have been denied extra
newsprint because of the desper-
ate paper shortage Therefor why
favor the Police Gazette?
What especially ainuses Washing
ton is that both Senators come
from deeply religious areas. II was
not so very long ago that a trial
was held at Dayton, Tennessee,
home State of Senator Stewart, to
prosecuted teacher who argued
that man was descended from the
monkey. The late William Jennings
Bryan, from the home state of
Senator W6erry was present to
defend the Bible and claim that
man did not come from the mon
key.

tary lines. There are now about
10000 officers in the Army who are
available for work along this line >
1t was suggested that 4-F work
ers should be given special uni
forms such as those worn by SOL
diers in the last war or perhaps
CCC enrollees.
Hershey emphasized that 7l,0OC
men were released from military
service each month because of ply
steal disability, while only $4,000
men became eligible each month
upon reaching the age of 10. This
he said, was not sufficient to make
up for the discharges. FPS.
In other words" Hershey told
the Military Affairs Committee
I'VE are losing more manpowel
than we are taking in for the
Army. / don't care what means
you gentlemen use to build up oui
forces, but it's high time the Am
erican people were waking up tc
the fact that we can't win this
war the way we are going-on a
hit or miss basis"

essential war jobs. The two con-
gressmen contended, however. that
the War Department should main
tain camps, comparable TO those for
conscientious directors, TO keep
them on the job.
Sparkman and Costello pointed
out to Stimson that many war
workers quit their ESSENTIAL jobs
once they were classified AT be-
cause they no longer needed TO
worry about deferment. Costello
said that there was shortage OF
over 5000 workers in California
aircraft plants alone, yet more than
1900 persons were receiving unem-
ployment compensation in Califor-

Stimson agreed that strong mea-
sures must be taken to prevent
"loafing" in war plants, but added
that this was a problem for the
War Manpower Commission.
Told later about Stimson's posi-
ton, General Hershey declared,
I'm perfectly willing to take over
the IFS, providing we have camps
for recalcitrants set up along mill

set ill., Wisconsin is not typical OF
the entire country in this respect
but it is probably typical of the
Midwest.
2. Stassen, though keeping aloot
on the surface, actually seemed to
be coordinating carefully with
Dewey against Willkie. Stassen's
four delegates were elected in
counties where no Dewey delegates
were entered. s'
3. Dewey got the support of rab.l
ble-rousing Gerald X. Smith and
took no steps to disavow Smiths
support until it was too late. =
Dewey had repudiated Smith
some time ago but, more recently
when the rootin -tootin ex-disciple
of Huey Long went to Milwaukee
to campaign for Dewey, the New
York Governor kept silent until
the evening of April 4, the day of
the primary. In other words, he
waited until he had already re-
ceived all the benefits from Smiths
silver voice
The. political grapevine also has
it that Pennsylvania Boss Pew
secretly backed Stassen and man
euvered SO that he would take votes
away from Willkie. A powerful lot
of money went into Wisconsin dur
ing the last three days of the cam
paign and most of it was placed
behind Dewey and Stassen. Willkie,
on the other hand, had to pay for
most of his own expenses.

SOMETHING ABOUT ETHICS
AND RIGHT OF FREE BALLOT

A few days ago when the Governor OF Alaska,
Ernest Gruenng demanded time on the air to blast at
The Empire, he spoke quite bit about ethics.
The question comes to our mind at this time:
rs there any code of ethics which applies to those
holding high public officesp"
Perhaps there is not. But there is code of law
of the United States America which sets up certain
regulations under which these officials must act!
During the last few weeks the fishermen of Juneau
have been attempting to cut through the red tape Of
various Federal agencies in order to get prices set
the fish they hope harvest during this season so
that they may their livelihood
They have tried everything they could think Of
and they haven't had very much help. They need
help If the fishermen of Juneau do not fish this
year It will be something far more disastrous to the
community than even the recent shutdown of the
mine looking at it from the short term and it will
that this food needed at this time in the
war effort, will not be produced.
We do not hesitate to say that it is fine state
of affairs when these men, seeking help from the
Governor of Alaska on this al-important problem,
find the Governor using his office not for the purpose
aiding the fishermen, bending his efforts toward
getting price set, doing something for the COM
munity-NO These men find the Governor using his
office and thereby his official authority for the pur
pose of attempting to affect the coming election by
using the office for the purpose of getting votes,
votes for E l., Bartlett and other candidates
What this Juneau fisherman, representative of the
trolers wanted from the Governor and had been led
to believe forthcoming, help on fish prices
and not help advice suggestions how the trollers
should vote.
The Governor is said to be a man of ability and
he might well have been able to pull some rabbit
out of the hat that would have helped matters in
Washington Instead he pulls marked ballot out of
his desk drawer!
Another Federal official Michael j. Haas, en-
poyee of the United States Department of Labor
also spends his time in getting votes for the names
marked on the Governors ballot, his office just
as he used the Territorial Commissioner of Labor's
office last election, for political purposes.
You may well remember that special investigat-
ing committee of the Territorial Legislature found
Haas guilty of this thing, only last spring But here
he is back at the old thing. 1t to be
habitua in this
If this fisherman, representative of the union
had allowed himself to be deprived of his right to
vote for not to vote for these candidates. would
the sought after help from the Governor then have
been forthcoming? Is he buying votes by promises?
This is definitely something to consider.
