The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-When Secretary Byrnes took over the helm of Am erican foreign affairs, he found some highly secret and amazing cablegrams in the State Depart ment which help to explain our present straight-arm policy toward fascist Spain.
 Whether these cablegrams were ever shown to Cordell Hull or Ed ward Stettinius, who succeeded him. is not known. If so. they con- stitute shocking indictment of a do-nothing policy despite evidence of bare-faced Spanish cooperation with Hitler and Argentina. Here are the highlights of the story as told by the secret cables:
 1. Great Britain at one time de- finitely played into the hands of the Argentine fascists by supplying them airplanes.
 2. Franco and his Government were secretly aiding their friends in Argentina to build up a Nazi regime.
 3. Spain not only was working hand -in-glove with the Germans all during the war, but the State Department knew it; even knew the details of how information on AL lied shipping was given to Ger man submarines. Not only did the State Department turn deaf ear. but State Department officials did not protest the shooting of Span- ish Republicans who had aided the escape of Allied prisoners.

URGES STRONG STAND AGAINST RUSSIA
US. MAY OCCUPY REICH TEN YEARS
 UNDER NEW LAW

BERLIN, March 5.-Lt. Gen. Lu- cius Clay, deputy chief of the U. $. military government, announced to- day sweeping new de-Nazification law placing in German hands more responsibility for purging the na- tion and indicating commitment for Americans to remain in Ger many for at least 10 years.
 Gen. Clay estimated that at least 100000 and perhaps 100000 of the 15,000,000 Germans in the American zone will be subject to punishment under the new law, which was drawn up by the three German provincial minister -presi- dents in the zone and provides for trial of the cases by German courts.
 The law specifics varying degrees of guilt for all Germans who aid- ed Hitler, ranging from major of lenders to minor cases classified as follows:
 Major offenders are liable to as much as 10 years in labor camp, confiscation of property and loss of all rights for minimum of 10 years, including the right to own an automobile.
 The minimum sentence for major offenders is two years.
 Gen. Clay said the American military government was determined to see that the sentences were carried out. Asked if this meant that the Americans definitely in- tended to stay in Germany, he re- piled:
 "As far as the military govern ment can commit the United States, yes"
 "Followers" of Hitler are subject to punishment by fine and the ex- acting of separations.

SoIons in Tiff Over Com. miffee Assignments
 Staff Organized

Alaska's Senate today took page out of the book of it's foster parent, the Congress of the United States, by empowering the Rules Con- mittee to set the order of prece- dence for consideratiin if legislative measures.
 On motion by Senator Norman R.. Walker, the Senate adopted it's Rules of the previous session with one amendment: That bills report ed out of committee be referred to the Rules Committee for assign ment to the Daily File for Second Reading, also that they similarly be referred to the Rules Committee after Expressing, for assignment on the General File for the order in which they shall come up for Third Reading and Final Passage.
 The Senate Rules Committee thus becomes a steering group" with greatly enhanced powers. Member ship on this powerful committee is: Whaley, chairman Walker, Col lins and Rogge.
 Senator Frank Gordon voiced mild objection when the amend ment was proposed. He asked to know the object of the rule change; if it was to expedite legislation, he is flor it."
 Vote on the motion showed II Ayes, five Nos. one absent. Only Senator Howard Lyng of Nome is now absent from his Senate desk, Senator Don Carlos Brownell hav- ing arrived from Seward last night. Brownell was in his chair today and asked indulgence of the Senate for his unavoidable absence yester- day.
 Just before the close of proceed ings in the Upper House this fore noon, Senator O. D. Cochran, Ju- dietary Committee Chairman, re- ceived consent of the Senate to employ Mrs. Rae HoOpeS as Sec- retary of the Judiciary Committee. Mrs. Hoopes was called onto the floor and was sworn into office by Senator Allen Shattucss, Notary member of the body.
 Adjournment was taken today until II o'clock tomorrow morning, the same meeting time as set for today. Senators Joe Green and Walker called meetings of their Labor and Education committees for this afternoon at o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively. The Labor Committee has before it two of the four bills introduced into the Sen- ate today.

MONDAY AFTERNOON

The Senate Monday afternoon indulged in momentarily spirited tiff immediately following the noon recess when Senator Grenold Col lins, seconded by Walker, moved adoption of the report of the Con- mittee on Committees into which the whole body had resolved itself at the morning session.
 Senator Gordon again objected vociferously to committee assign ments for which he had not asked. He was answered by Senator Coch- ran, who stated he took exception to Gordon's remarks branding those not agreeing with the Fourth Diyi- sion solon as "Hitlerite." In his twelve years in the legislature, Cochran said, he had never before been charged with being "undemo- cratic" He went on to declare that he knows of no other way to pro- ceed with selection of committees than under Senate Rule Six; that there is no more democratic way of proceedings. Cochran declared his conviction that the procedure of selecting Senate standing commit tees was regular"
 Strange Choosing
 Previously, Andrew Nerland, sem for Republican member of the Senate, had asked if the method used in lining up committee as- signments had been the same as that used heretofore? He prefaced his query with the statement that he did not criticize the commit tees as aligned, but that the man. ner of choosing seemed strange to him.
 President Edward D. Coffey an- swered Nerland that the procedure used in allocating committee as- signments follows Rule Six"
 Before the committee issue was brought to a vote, Senator John Butrovich again moved Call of the Senate" but was again ruled out of order and when he appealed

BRETON ASKS JOINT TEAM
 FOR DEFENSE
Churchill BIunfly Warns Against Sovief's 5 Prose
 lying Tendencies
By Ernest B. Yaccaro

FULTON. Mo. Mar. 5.-Winston Churchill called today for virtual Anglo American military alliance with blunt warning against what he termed Russia's desire for 'in- definite expansion" of it's power and doctrines"
 Asserting that "a shadow has fal- len upon the scenes so lately light cd by the Allied victory" the for mer British Prime Minister de- clared in an address prepared for delivery at Westminster College here
 Nobody knows what Soviet Rus sia and it's Communist Internation- al organization intends to do in the immediate future, or what are the limits. if any, to their expansive and proselyting tendencies
 Britain's wartime leader gravely declared that prevention of anoth- CT great war "can only be achieved by reaching now, in l946, good understanding on all points with Russia under the general authority of the United Nations Organiza- tion."
 Desire Fruits of War
 While he said he does not believe that the Soviet Union desires war, Churchill attributed to the Rus sians desire for the fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of their power and doctrines"
 From what I have seen of our Russian friends and allies during the war, I am convinced that there is nothing they admire so much as strength, and there is nothing for which they have less respect than for military weakness" said the veteran statesman.
 He cautioned against releasing the secret of the atomic bomb at this time.
 Churchill, introduced by Presi- dent Truman. who accompanied him here from Washington, said he wanted to make clear that he spoke only for myself and that he had no official mission.
 Common Defense Pact
 Churchill, leader of the Atlee governments loyal opposition, as- serted that the United States al- ready has permanent defense agreement with Canada and added that this principle should be "ex- tended to all the British common wealths with full reciprocity"
 He advocated continuance of the intimate relationship between our military advisers. leading to com- mon study of potential dangers, similarity of weapons and manuals of instruction. and interchange of officers and cadets at college" and joint use of all naval and air bases in the possession of either country all over the world"
 Common Citizenship Maybe
 Eventually. the eloquent British CT continued, there may come the principle of common citizenship but that we may be content to leave to destiny, whose outstretched arm so many of us can clearly sec

An almost empty gallery watch cd the Territorial House swing into action with presentation of IA bills at today's solitary, morning session.
 There was little business besides the first reading of bills by Chief Clerk Tom Stewart and commit tee reference by speaker Jesse Lan- der.
 Alaska Linck, Fourth Division Democrat. moved that rules gov- erning the l945 Legislative Session be adopted temporarily. As her motion was seconded by Maurice c. Johnson, also a Fourth Division Democrat, Stanley McCutcheon, Thtd Division Democrat, rose to ask that regulations lprohibiting smoking on the floor of the house be suspended. After brief discus sion 1t was unanimously agreed to permit McCutcheon to smoke throughout the current session.
