 Political Units
 In an attempt to re-explode any powder charge that might be con- tained in the letter, Senator Lyng advanced a list of Is native vil- lages in the Second Division, in each of which ATG units and voting pre- cincts have been organized. Re- citing the vote of the Is precincts in the last Primary Election, Sena- tor Lyng declared the heavier vote given Henry Roden over the Cover nor's candidate E. L. Bartlett, was evidence against charges that the Governor had used the ATG for political purposes.
 Senate President Edward D. Cof- fey's ruling that the letter excerpts could properly be read by Senator Shattuck, was sustained by l2 to vote of the members (The portions of the letter read are reported be- low. It was stated by Senator Shattuck that deletions concerned only the name of the writer and ref erences that might disclose his iden- tity)
 Following reading of the letter, Senator Lyng offered that any or ganization of voting precincts under taken by Gov Ernest Gruening, or his agents, were only to carry out instructions of "his boss" Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes. Sen- ator Shattuck immediately question ed MT. Ickes' interest in politics of the Territory of Alaska, also that of the Attorney General of the United States, who, Senator Lyng said. had transmitted the Ickes' instructions to former U s.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tLt. Col. Robert & Alien now on active service with the Army

WASHINGTON - Hard boiled Leon Henderson did some tough talking to President Roosevelt when he arrived back from his economic survey of occupied Germany.
 Henderson was sent by the White House to consult with Gen. Eisen- hover regarding the economic set up in Germany after the armis- tice. But, while the former OPA ad- ministrator has kept very mum about it, he was quite critical in his verbal report to the President regarding negligence on the part of the Army. the State Department and and the Anglo American Russian Commission in Londan re- garding plans for running Germany.
 Henderson had long session at the White House and is now writ ing an equally long report.
 Henderson told FDR that neither the U. s. Military nor the State Department had done anything ex- cept the sloppiest sort of planning about running the difficult German civilian economy after the armis- tice. U. s. Ambassador John Win ant in London, Henderson indicated, had been sitting on his launches as member of the Tripartite Com mission supposed to look into this, but doing nothing.
 Henderson reported that the plan for cutting Germany up into three different sections under the British, American and Russian Armies simply would not work economical ly. He pointed out that the German railroads were set up to work as a unit, not in three different sec- tions Likewise with German indus tries. Henderson proposed, there fore, that German civilian economy be run by a civilian commission representing the Allies which would have charge of the entire country. He also proposed that the military take orders from the civilian high commission.
 What the President will do about the Henderson report remains to be seen. When he suggested that Hen derson go back to Germany, the hard-boiled ex-OPA Administrator refused He said it was impossible to work under the present set-up. Instead he will go to China to make study of price controls for Chiang Kai-Shek.
 (Note-What some White Hou, advisers fear is that the same chat and imitation which killed demo cratic government in German. after the last war once again vii become so ruinous that the German people will fall back on another Hitler or Kaiser).

THOUSANDS OF GERMANS
 IN FLIGH I
Civilians Clog Roads Try ing 10 Escape from Men,
 dted Ruhr Valley

LONDON, March 22--Hundreds of thousands of German civilians gre reported in full flight from the Ruhr Valley menaced areas directly east of the Rhine and are gravely hindering the Nazi military trans- port in frantic haste to escape the advancing Allied armies.
 Swedish advices said the roads leading eastward are clogged with fleeing civilians and likened the situation to the dark days of I94O when the conquering Nazi armies overran the low countries and France, driving before them refu- gees that impeded the Allied troops in trying to stem the enemy tide.
 Planes Cause Terror
 The exodus of the speeding mass was over news from Berlin that disaster had befallen the Ger man armies along the Rhine and predictions by the Berlin radio of impending Allied airborne invasion of the Ruhr.
 About the time of the ominous warnings, Allied planes swept over the region creating more Germans to flee for safety.
 The Free German Committee" has broadcast an appeal urging Ruhr miners to protect the mines and prevent destruction by Nazi authorities because destruction would make the gigantic task of reconstruction nearly impossible
 Hitler's Hopes
 Swiss newspapers asserted Hitler is apparently resigned to the in- cvitable junction of the Allied and Russian Armies somewhere west of Berlin in the near future and has completed preparations for a last stand in the mountainous Berchtesgaden region, in southern Germany. There, according to the Swiss newspapers Hitler hopes to wait out the twilight period" after the war which he believes will end in a reign of chaos and unrest and split the Allies asunder and permit rebirth of the National Socialist Germany.
