Territorial House

A resOlutioun passed recently by the Territorial House of Represent atives lauds the work of Governor Ernest Gruening in behalf of AL askans during the war period and describes him as the greatest Governor in the history of the Ter ritory of Alaska
 Text of the resolution. introdue- ed by Representative Stanley Me Cutchean. is as follows.
 Whereas, the Representatives of the people of Alaska here assem- bled in the House of Representa- tives are. with the rest of. the na- tion. grateful for a magnificent victory which culminates four long years of war. and
 Whereas. the people of Alaska are mindful that it was through the efforts of the Honorable Ern- est Gruening. governor of Alaska. that Alaska wor6men were given the same opportunity for employ ment on construction work during the war years as workmen from outside the Territory. and
 Whereas it was Ernest Gruen- ing who demanded early in the war adequate protection for the Territory of Alaska and it's people. and even went 10 the White House with these demands in behalf of Alaskans. and
 Whereas fl was Ernest Gruen- ing who promoted and advanced the organization of the Territorial Guard in Alaska that Alaskans not in the armed forces might do their share 10 protect their homes and firesides; and
The Wrangell sentinel., 1946-04-12

Whereas. it was Ernest Gruen- ing who fought successfully to have wartime travel restrictions modified when it became clear that they were being stupidly applied SC as to constitute a bottleneck for the war construction program. and
 Whereas it was Ernest Gruen- ing who secured tha rescission of orders by the Army, Navy and Coast Guard which forbade native soldiers and their wives and sis ters to associate with their white comrades in uniform. and
 Whereas. since the termination of hostilities. it was Ernest Gruen- ing who fought vigorously for d modification of military regula- tions so that men who served in the Alaskan peninsula. the Aleu- tians and the Pribilof Islands were credited with overseas service. which meant two points a month instead of one; and
 Whereas. it was Ernest Gruen- ing who was successful in getting a modification of the mail censor ship in Alaska whereby news papers. magazines. etc were being clipped before sent 10 the Terri tory. and
 Whereas. it was Ernest Gruen- ing who led the attack against u- creased steamship rates in the spring Of 1940 and again in 1922 when he was able 10 get a sharT reduction in surcharges: and
 Whereas. is was Ernest Gruer- ing who is today carrying on a vigorous battle against further iE creased steamship rates; and

Whereas. 1t was through the ef- forts of Ernest Gruening that the Jones shipping act was suspended in Alaska during the war years: and
 Whereas. Governor Gruening has never failed to heed any Alas Bans plea for governmental co- operation utilizing to that end his numerous contacts with Federal agencies and his familiarity with their operation. and
 Whereas, Governor Gruening has deyotedly and indefatiguably striv- en to advance the development. welfare and prosperity of the Ter ritory of Alaska and it's people: and

Prinz Eugen's S Fate

The German heavy cruiser Prinz
Eugen, elusive survivor of many
types of Allied attacks during World
War II, may end her career as one of
the targets for wars most destructive
weapon. the atomic bomb. accord
ing to speculation arising from the
Navy's disclosure that the battle
Scared warship is en- route to Bos-
ton. Naval officials are quoted as
admitting that the ship will be used
as the subject of study and expert
mentation," but they declined to
comment on rumors that the expert
ments would involve atomic bomb
ing.
Commissioned in 1910, the Prinz
Eugen embarked on a series of hit
and-run forays that harassed Al
lied shipping and made her the
special objective of numerous Allied
surface and aerial missions in the
English Channel, the Atlantic Ocean
and the Baltic Sea. She escaped
from British naval forces which
cornered and sank the huge German
battleship Bismarck in 1941 and
helped to protect the battleships
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau in their
successful dash from the Channel to
Norwegian waters in 1912.
During her combat career she
withstood shellfire, a mine explo-
sion, one or more bomb hits, tor
pedo hit that tore off part of her
stern, damage from drifting ice and
a collision with sister cruiser, the
Leipzig. 1t may be wondered if any
other ships have sustained greater
variety of damaging hits and acci-
dents and returned to service. Even

with certain situation or wants to
avoid some definite compromise finds
this pretext to absent himself from an
international gathering.
According to reports from London,
there is strong feeling among the
Foreign Ministers of the large and small
powers that the Russian representative
has adopted this time -honored subter-
fuge to indicate that the U. S. S. r. is
not at all pleased with the UNO pro-
cedures.
The Soviet candidate for the presi-
dency of the UNO assembly, Norways

Of Russia and America to put him over
While the election minded American
delegation did not take this defeat as an
insult to the United States, Moscow is
reported to have considered it grave
setback.
On the heels of this unsatisfactory
development, the Iranian delegation re-
fused to yield to the recommendations
of the British government and pro-
ceeded with the presentation~of its case
against Soviet interference in the in
ternal affairs of IRAN
The presentation of the case by the
representative OF the Teheran govern
ment was cautious and polite. He men,

cation is reported to have taken of1ense

consideration of the Iranian complaint
by the Security Council may doom the

cerned.
The continued absence of Mr.. Vishin-

other members of the UNO.
Mr.. Molotov caused the London Con-
ference of the Foreign Ministers to break

Jail Inquiry Bourd

Chief Justice Bolitha j. Laws of
District Court has chosen an excel
lent three-man board to hear the
Board of Public Welfare's charges
against Howard B. Gill, suspended
general superintendent of District
penal institutions. And in agreeing
to serve on this important board,
Walter NJ Bastian. Francis W. Hill,
jr., and Alfred H. Lawson will be
rendering real public service. The
choice of such outstanding citizens
two of them lawyers and one a
banker-to conduct the hearing in
the District Jail controversy is. in
effect, a proper recognition of the
fact that the general public has a
deep interest in the Gill case. The
Commissioners evidenced their ap-
probation of this circumstance when
they requested Chief Justice Laws
to choose the board. The citizens
of Washington have legitimate in
terest in this unusual case because
more is at stake than the official
career locally of Mr.. Gill. The prin-
.cipal concern of the public has to
do with the efficient administration
of the District Jail and, correlative-
ly, elimination of conditions respon-
sible for the frequency of escapes
there. The charges and counter
charges thus far made public have
not clarified the situation. On the
contrary, the public has become even
more confused as to where the
blame lies in the present contro-
versy.
In view of all the circumstances,
the Commissioners were fully justi-
fed in ordering hearing to which
the press will be admitted, subject
to certain reasonable restrictions re-
garding disclosure of any informa-
ton which might hamper police in
their efforts to recapture several es-
capped prisoners. The impartiality
of the board can be taken for
granted and it's findings, therefore,
should be acceptable to every one
concerned. Meanwhile it would be
the better part Of wisdom for the
public to withhold judgment in the
matter until the specific charges
against Mr.. Gill have been presented
in full and have been replied to by
the suspended superintendent in
the forthcoming hearing.

From the Montreal Star
International recognition of freedom
of the press has been slow in coming
Before the war few governments in
Europe functioned without a censorship,
overt or subtle. In both Italy and Ger
many lip service was paid to press free
dom and Hitler never did set up for
NAL censorship until war broke out. but
woe betide the correspondent who sent
out news unfavorable to the Reich. Yet
1t is tribute to the sense of duty and
ingenuity of British and American
newspapermen that few major develop
ments In the Reich remained unreported
abroad.
This attempted suppression of news
Is one major cause of international mis-
understanding, and it is gratifying to
hear Prime Minister Attlee declare that
ut is to the independent reporting of
events by men and women trained in
the work of informing the public that
ordinary people of all nations look
chiefly for their understanding of each
other" The free flow of information is
essential If we are to work out scheme
OF international cooperation.
Mr. Attlee was addressing the British
Newspaper Society. He was quick to
point out that Britain has long been
committed to freedom of the press and
liberty OF comment. Indeed he might
have gone further and asserted that
Britain has been the cradle of this free
dom as it has been of so many others.
And in adding. Let us hope it will ever
remain So" Premier Attlee served no.
tice that the new Socialist government
has no intention, as many feared, of
suppressing British liberties to serve
the Labor party's ends
What is required now is wider inter-
national recognition of this right of free
reporting and comment. It received
partial and, for the first time, formal
international recognition in the Pots
dam declaration, when Russia, Great
Britain and the United States asserted
that sin view of the changed conditions
resulting from the termination of the
was in Europe, representatives of the
Allied press would enjoy full freedom
to report on world developments" in

Military Advisers to UNO
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

whose task, like that of any good fire
department, is to get to the danger spot
quickly and. If possible, to extinguish
any spark OF trouble before it is famed
into dangerous blaze. The mere ex-
istence of such force, properly disposed
and based halfway around the globe
from Iceland to Manila, should be
considerable deterrent to anybody con-
templating the international crime OF
breeding another war.
That this is the American approach
to this subject may be gathered, as
already observed, from considering the
membership of our delegation.
The Army member is 1t Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway, who in this war
commanded successfully the 82d Air
borne Division and the 18th Airborne
Corps. He is considered the Army's out
standing authority on the use and COM
mand of airborne troops.
The Navy member is Admiral Rich
mond Kelley Turner, the Navy's out
standing authority on amphibious war
fare, who commanded with great dis
tinction and unvarying success a long
series of amphibious operations in the
Pacific theater of war
The Air Force member is Gen. George
c. Kenney, commander of the Pacific
air forces, whose experience in this war
was very largely with the use of air
power, both strategically and tactically
in close cooperation with naval forces
and with amphibious operations under
all sorts of conditions.
The emphasis is clearly on the three
dimensional use Of air. land and sea
power, operating with task forces
adapted to whatever conditions may
have to be met and made up of such
elements of each type Of power as may
be necessary for particular missions.
All three of our representatives have
had this special type of experience, and,
in this war at least, very little expert
ence of any other kind.
For the purposes now to be dealt with,
better selections could hardly have been
made than Generals Kenney and Ridg-
way and Admiral Turner.
1t is to be noted that none of these
officers is an atomic bomb expert. No
doubt q suitable officer will be chosen
to advise the delegation on atomic SUBJ
jects, but the fact that none Of the
top members has this special experience
suggests that from the American point
of view, at least, the organization OF
the international contingents, and not
atomic security, is the first order OF
business for the Military Staff Com
mittee Presumably it is considered that
the atomic negotiations will take much
longer to thresh out at the political
level, that during this process the mill
tary function can be advisory only, and
that meanwhile it is urgently neces-
sary that means be provided for keeping
the peace of the world.
