CRAWFORD ON STATEHOOD

Rep Fred Crawford. Chairman of the House 1nsuar and Territorial Affairs Committee which will have hearings m Alaska this month on statehood says from Washington that he is for statehood for Alaska just as soon as it can demonstrate it is in position to support statehood financially"
 This in effect is just about the position taken by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and other organizations and Alaskans who have been accused o being -out against statehood.
 At the hearings in Washington this year, some Congressrnen were amazed to that Alaskans were asking for statehood at the same time the Territory was unable to raise enough funds to support terri torial form of government These Congressmen were shown report issued by Aaskas Governor pointing out that the last Legislature appropriated more than S1OOO0O0O for tie current biennium while estimated revenues would bring in only S35000C9 In an attempt to decide how much additional statehood might cost the Territory various figures were given Alaskas Governor an advocate of statehood told the commit tee if would cost ar additional S70O0000 per biennium
 If Alaskans are only paying S3,5OoOOo biennium in taxes and short, then, S650oOo0 to meet Territorial expenses where will we get the

There's a Story to Tell
Cincinnati Enquirer

tClnclnnat EnQu1rerl
 For more than a decade, the law has made il impossible for the management of an industry to tel it's story to the workers And they have heard little than the version advanced by union leaders often irresponsible and shortsighted That is why counted thousands of wage today think they are the victims of slave bill They have not had balanced picture
 Under the law, management stands on an equal footing with labor organizations once more. Yet employers in the by and large to think the law merely by it's enactment, is going to solve their prob lems and those of the country as a whole This is a dangerous illusion.
 When scores or hundreds of thousands of men will walk off the job to protest enactment of bill they haven't read there is something wrong It can- be corrected by idle waiting. It can be corrected only if management forward to tell it's story the inspiring story of free enterprise and what it has done for the American people
 Major corporations spend very large sums each for advertising their products Some spend large also to tell more general story, to establish themselves in a good and fair light with the public Few however have made any comparable effort to present to their workers to workers generally the essential to sound employer employee relation ship under free enterprise
 For some years past, homogeneous have had an excuse for their failure to tell their story. The Wagner Act forbade them to "coerce" their employees by presenting a case to them. That excuse no longer valid It should be the first order of business for industrial management under the new legislation to prepare and put forWard the true plclule ol theA operations
 Among workers, it commonly thought, for example that industrial executives are grossly over paid. It is not known that the take-home pay of a railroad president-after axes-s likely to be only third of his nominal pay Nor is it generally realized that many labor union executives enjoy salaries quite comparable with those of the heads of corporations.
 It generally is supposed that wage increases can be taken of profits The facts almost invariably otherwise. The wage payments of typical corpora ton are so huge and the profits small, that com plee elimination of profit would make little difference in the funds available for wages.
 To correct these and a hundred other msunder- standings is responsibility of management. There is an urgent need for straightforward presentation of the facts about industrial enterprise affects wage earners To ignore that need is to risk further deteri oraon of management employee relations, and to risk the breakdown of private enterprise system which has brought to the everyday people of this country the highest standard of living the world ever has known.

Government to Howard Hughes. And just as the money spent by Hughes to entertain Elliott Roose- velt is reported to have come out of Government funds, so also the cost of ornate lobbying offices, the $10,000 for meals for one Pan Am president, and the fees to high-priced lobbying attorneys all go into expenses when it comes to figuring Pan Ans air mail subsidy.
 Regarding Pan Ans waste of money on lobbying, the Civil Aero nautics Board has some caustic things to say. And it would be a simple matter for Senator Brew ster's Committee to subpoena the CAB reports-if he wants to full truth.
 (coPYRIGHT, 1947 BELL SYNDICATE. INC)
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-08-07
HOW THE PUBLIC PAYS


 Need" in this case, refers to Pan Ans need of air-mail sub sldles. And the reason the CAB was examining Pan Americans ac- counts was that the amount of its mail subsidy is determined in part by it's expenses of operation, And what the American taxpayer does not generally realize is that the cost of the expensive lobby con ducted by Pan American to in fluence Congress is largely paid for by the taxpayer himself through the air-mail subsidy
 This is also true of ot.aer a5ia- lion companies, except that Pan American has received far more in air-mail subsidies than any ether company, and also conducts one Of the most far-flgng and expensive lohbiss in the history oi gov ernment.
 For instance, Pan American maintains three different offices in Washinc ton, though t has no airline entering Washington In addition it has two secret hide away spot in the Capital-all connected with lobbying
 One of these is a l0-rolm suite at 1915 18th Street. which has a private telephone line direct tc Pan Am. headquarters in New York. Then there is conii1en- tial office at 1919 F Street oper- ated by Bill McAvoy, Pan Ans suave publicity man and full-timc lobbyist. Very few people know this office exists. Also. there is the official office at ll09 Connect icut Avenue In addition three rooms are always kept at the May flower Hotel, rooms eos, 621 anc 743-available to Pan Am officials in case of sudden trips to Wash ington Much of the time, how ever. they are vacant. thus adding to the crowded condition Of Wash, ington hotels
 Much of this eventually is paic out of the taxpayers pocket
 Finally, there is Pan Ans col onial mansion at 2017 F Street where Pan Am president Juar Trippe entertains C0ngres -nler and other big shots. Here a but Ter and maid are on constant duty and when Trippe puts on an es pecially big party, extra servants

are brought in, sometimes rom the White House staff. Rent for this colonial mansion is reported to be $500 a month.
 PAN AMS AIRPLANE JUNKETS
 Then there are the special Pan American facilities at the National Airport, where two private planes are kept, the NC4000 and the 4C0W. It is these planes which have flown Senator Brewster on various tripS-up to his home in Maine, and once to Hobe Sound, Florida, where Sam Pryor, vice president of Pan American, main tains his winter home. MT. Pryor, former Republican National Com mitteeman from Connecticut, is one of the ablest lobbyist in the Capital and handles Pan Ans most difficult johs.
 It is Senator Brewster who has been charged by Howard Hughes with Investigating him because he refused to take BreWster's sug- gestion that Hughes Trans World Airline amalgamate with Pan American.
 It was Senator Brewster who flew to Raleigh, N. C., last year to visit ailing Senator Bailey of North Carolina, then Chairman of the Senate Interstate Commerce Com- mittee, to urge his support of the "one company" idea for American airlines overseas. The "one com panyH plan is urged by Pan Ameri- can to fly all foreign routes, as against the American system of free competition, favored by other companies.
 Incidentlly, when Brewster flew 10 see Sen. Bailey in Raleigh, Jack Frye, then president of Trans World Airline, learned of the tight; and, getting ex-Senator Bennett Clark out of bed in Kan sas City, persuaded him to phone Senator Bailey long distance not to side with Brewster in favor of the one company" bill.
 BreWsters plane was delayed about fifteen minutes in reaching Raleigh, which permitted Clark s phone call to come through and persuade Bailey not to go along With Brewster. This was probably the chief reason why the one company" bill never passed the 18th Congress
 It was also one of Pan Ans special planes which carried A. F Whitney of the railroad trainmer and Alcanley Johnston of the loco motive engineers on trip from Cleveland last year at the time the two brotherhood leaders came out for the one company" bill.

PAN AM's TREMEN-
DOuS SUBSIDY

The reason all these special flights and extra expenses are important is that they help to determine the amount of air-mail subsidy paid by the Government to Pan American AirWays. It is estimated that Pan American has received total subsidy from the Government of more than $15C 900 coo. This does not include the S1OO,OOO000 paid Pan Am in connection with building special airrorts in Latin America during the war.
 The sl5o,00o,OC0 figure compares with the s4o,oOc,000 paid by the

NEW BRAUNFELS, Tex, May 26.-tR-A slender, 42year- San Antonio physician, charged with shooting four persons to death on a lonely Comal county lane, was cool, composed and talkative in his cell at the county jail here, Sheriff w. A. Scholl reported
 Dr. Lloyd l. Ross was charged with murdering Willard H. York, 36, prominent San Antonio invest ment company head and three members of his family yesterday morning
 Sheriff Scholl said he had gain ed most of his information from Ann York, l3, Works daughter and only survivor of an ambush yes- terday while the family was on it's way to a Methodist church in San Antonio.
 Bleeding, weak, and suffering from shock, Ann escaped through the brush.
 Blasts from 300 caliber auto matic rifle killed York: his wife, Mrs. Gertrude O. York; their son, John, g, and Yorks mother, Mrs. Mary York, 67, at 8:45 a. m.
 Four hours later, Ross walked into police headquarters at San Antonio and told Sgt. Joe Hester:

BEACH COMBERs PARTY

It was a Beach Combers Party and a fine party yesterday. It was also George Matson's birthday cele- bration.
 The downstairs of the Douglas Trading Post building was turned into studio that would tickle the fancy of any artist with sea motif complete with fish and sleek mer- maids, sunken ships and sea going vessels
 It was just sort of a fancy which could only have been thought of by such a guy as, Seymore Faurot, Arts and Crafts supervisor of the Alaska Native Service assisted by Mrs. Geo. Matson, and the H. Mayo family who gave the party, just to have a party for their friends, and incl dentally celebrate the birthday of George, who hereby profited with a new salmon rod and reel and other fishing equipment. s,
 There were refreshments and more than food. That salmon, roasted whole was something to see-supposedly, it was caught by Tom Mix (not of the movie fame, we hear) but who lives in Juneau. The birthday cake was also some thing to talk about and eaten la ter, anyway who can eat much birthday cake with a chunk of roast salmon with mushroom sauce.
 Dancing went on till late.
