Three Crossings Made on Lower
 Garigliano River

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN ALGIERS, Jan. .19.-(AP)-British troops with Clark's army, under intense fire from mortar and ma- chine guns, crossed the lower Garigliano river at three points. conVerging on the Appian Way, 30 miles southeast of Rome.
 The attack was made and the three bridgeheads secured against strong enemy resistance.
 The first crossing was made near Suoi village, about seven miles inland from the coast where heavy fighting is still going on.
 The second crossing was made along the Capua-Rome railroad, about four miles from the coast. The third at Argento, on the coast, where the Germans countered with heavy tank attacks in des- perate and futile efforts to drive the British back across the river.
 Naval action continued along the Adriatic where destroyers were smelling Rovigno, on the Is- trian Peninsula, Durazzo in AL bania, and three points on the Dalmatian coast.
 Heavy bombers blasted key communications targets in Tus- cany Province, including rail yards of Pisa and Pistore.

Texas Colunnist Writes In Laudation of Dimond

ency. When Alaska becomes a state, its people will owe, their great advance more to MT. Dimond than to any other man. take for granted Alaskans will wish to honor him for this service, and will wish to retain him in their service as their governor. As. 2 delegate in Congress, he has no vote, but few members have more friends or more influence.
 The first elective governor of Alaska, my prospective host, say around 1945 or 1946, was born in New York state in 1881. He has lived in Alaska more than 30 years, married there, has a son and two daughters born there. He has served Alaskans as U. s. com missioner, as special assistant U. IS. attorney, as mayor of Valdez, as territorial senator. and since 1893 as delegate in Congress. His home is at Valdez. He is Demo crat-one of the few Democratic candidates for governor that I'll be pulling for the year he runs for that office.
 Clippings of this piece will be sent to all of Alaska's daily pa- pers. Hundreds of young Texans are up there now, in the armed services; thousands more will go there to take up the last free homesteads available in this country, or to engage in business of one kind or another, after the war. Seems like a good idea to get word to them that some of us folks back home are trying to help shape a future for them in that far country.

You may re- call that eon2l9esember 9, wrote about the virtual certainty that Alaska will soon be admitted to the Union as our 18th state, as result of the huge development our government is making there, due to the war. I sent copy of that piece to Anthony J. Dimond, Alaska's delegate in Congress. I told him that when Alaska is ad- mitted to statehood and he be- comes the states first elective gov ernor, he'd owe the Old Timer a trip to and through his state-for helping to persuade Japan, back in 1914, to take Manchuria in stead of trying to take. Alaska as an outlet for Japan's over-crowd- ed seventy millions in her small rocky island home.
 Mr.-Dimond writes:
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 26.- Dear MT. Putnam: Thank you much for the clipping of your col umn, appearing in The Houston Press of December 22, about Alas ka, and more especially for the accompanying note.
 If and when the conjunction of cancellations suggested in your letter occurs, namely, the creation of Alaska as a state and the cleo ton and inauguration of myself the first governor, it would be pleasure indeed to have you visit the governor in the capitol of the state and you may be assured tha' the governor will do his best to see that you are provided with every resource that hospitality can devise.
 After reading your column, am sure that at 75 you are no more than half way through, and so I earnestly wish you success sion of happy New Years. Sincere ly yours, ANTHONY J. DIMOND, Delegate"

slider and debate agreements which
oblisate the nation.
That, OF course is not govern
ment by iaw. The Constitution clear
ly requires senatorial consent TO a
treaty. By the device OF avoiding
the word treaty, and using the word
agreement. Mr.. Roosevelt avoids
sending the documents To the Sen
ate for approval. The danger is not
that the foreign countries will not
live up TO these agreements; they.
being on the receiving end, will nat.
urally live up 10 them. The danger
is that the American people may
become frightfully dissatisfied with
these agreements when they dis
cover what they are and the welkin
will ring with their anger.

How the System Works
These DayssSr; Sg ,3ti e soxo2;xy

Senator Joseph c. OMahoney oil
Wyoming has never been regarded
particularly as a conservative. In
fact, he headed up one OF the major
New Deal enterprises, tho TNEC. a
combination OF congressman and
hureaucrats which issued report at
ter report for the remakins OF the
country. Yet. IT is this same Senator
q Mahuney who exposed in sue
cinct paragraphs the process OF re,
duCinS Congress TO an ineffective
and meaningless body Let me
quote him:
In the last 10 years. the execu-
tive branch OF our government has
issued nearly 1000 executive or.
ders. That number OF orders is al
most equal to all the laws passed in
that period by Congress.
The regulations which-by the
unCounted thousands have sprung
from these orders already fill 20 IA
volumes.
"Unlike our laws, these orders
we're not publicly debated or voted
on by the peoples representatives.
They we're prepared in secret by
persons unknown and announced
by the 10 order.issuing agencies
Of the executive. They are execu-
tive laws which our national Law
making body never saw until they
were published.
by them, America is being made
over and we don't like it,
The senator last summer said all
this and very much more in an arti-
Gle in Forbes Magazine. He showed
how secrecy had become a weapon
of government policy. The people
do not know what is going on. Con
gress does not know what is going
on. From time to time we are faced
by an accomplished fact, like the
details that are suddenly coming
out about the Teheran Conference
about which We knew nothing
although as a Democratic people
we should know everything. Sena-
tor O'Mahoney makes the point:
How deeply the Executive, prac-
ticing this doctrine Of secret cove
nants secretly arrived at. has al.
ready involved US no one knows.
We do know that today We have a
far greater number OF executive
agreements with foreign powers
than We baye treaties. Our people
and their elected representatives
hay not been allowed even to con
