CIVIL SERVICE GESTAPO?

Meeting behind closed COorS, the House Civil Service Committee is putting some scckeroo catches in the Presidents r,,sn to check the loyalty of all Federal employees Only one voice inside committee was raised against the Gestapo tactics-that of Los Angeles Demo- cratic Rep. George P Miller
 Before we vote" Miller declared, T want to make my position clear. I believe we are rushing into this program without approaching the consequences. It is serious viola ton of individual rights to take a mans job away from him. If a person has a grudge against an en1- ployee, he can bring false charges against him. It seems to me that the bill will brand the employee guilty until he can prove himself innocent That is not the American way

Did Roosevelt Give Alaska to Stalin?
San Franmisco Argonaut)

San Franmisco Argonaut)
 Alaska where the New Deal and it's bureaucrats are marking their stand is the greatest pool of untapped resources left the American people Under the excuse conservation the lumber is rotting but conservation is only semanticism for job-holdng. Should Alaska which has better claim to statehood than Hawaii be freed for private enterprise it would soon fill up with people eager to supply East Asia and western North America with coal and lumber. There is water there to reduce pulp and re- eve the paper shortage, largely caused by Russia cornering cf the Scandinavian supply
 But Alaskans are worried The Russians are claiming Alaska and there is than suspicion that when Franklin D. Roosevelt was making presents to Stalin at Yalta he promised Alaska He probably agreed that the folly in Stewards purchase was that Seward had not paid the Czar enough for the Terri tory However the Army fields in Alaska are covered with planes, and if they kept the alert, it is unlikely that Russia will claim Alaska. Certainly there would be less danger if Alaska were invited to become State of the Union and not colonial possession of the Department of the Interior it is
 
 There are 100000 Americans in Alaska, but they have few rights. They not allowed to vote for the President of the United States.
 But as John E. Manders former Mayor of An chorage. said recently there three fundamental things which must be done if Alaska is to take its place the forty ninth State: "1) An enabling act of Congress enabling the people of Alaska to form constitution and State government, and to be ad- mitted to the Union on an equal footing with all of the other States; (2) The forming of State con- sttution in accordance with American principles of government by constitutional convention of elected Alaskans ill session for that purpose and (3 Ratifca on of such constitution by at least majority of the qualified electors of Alaska"
 Alaska las been Territory of the United States since l867 Since that time the States of Nebraska, i Colorado, South Dakota. North Dakota, Washington Montana. Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma Arizona and New Mexico have been admitted to statehood The way to convince Russia, matter what was I said during the cocktail parties at Teheran and Yalta that Alaska is part of the United States is to let the Americans in Alaska enjoy the full rights of American citizens. Then, if Henry Agard Wal lace should become President of the United States Alaska will not be given back to Siberans.

 The illness of Justice Douglas also has been attributed by friends to overwork as the result ol writing more than his share of ti-e Court s opinions.
 Although Black ana Douglas stand out as the most prodigious workers on the Court, no other Justice comes anywhere near Bur tons low mark oi only three ma iority opinions. Frankfiter and Rutledge wrote five and four ma jority opinions, but counterbalanced this by very large number of dis sents and concurring opinions-24 tor Frankfurter and l9 for Rut- ledge. Burton on the other hand, wrote only three dissents.
 Justice Murphy is next highest to Black and Douglas with 13 major ity opinions followed by Reed, II, with Jackscn and Vinson 10 each.

Last week, the ANS announced the intention to close this year ANS schools at Fort Yukon Haines, Juneau Douglas, Ketchikan, Nome and Cordova
 In our news story it stated that the ANS had been ordered close it's schools in all cities where Territorial schools operating. This is not true. Neither have seen any proof that the Senate Appropriations Committee ordered the ANS to adopt this policy. It is true that the Office of Indian Affairs has directed Foster to use the funds available to operate ANS schools where other facilities are available And in the of communities where city schools are too crowded to take in native children facilities would be available leaving the way open for the ANS to continue to operate their schools where closing them would mean severe hard ships We believe that MT Foster can find some way to keep one ANS school operating in the Juneau Douglas
 Meanwhile it is certain that Alaska must waste no time in further Investigating the reasons behind the move to throw the Indian problem onto the Territory alone This problem continues to be the moss difficult one facing the Territory today.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-06-23
THE EDUCATION PROBLEM

The Alaska Native Service has been instructed by the Department of the Interior to close every ANS school in Alaska during the next ten years under new policy adopted by the Department this year.
 And apparently the Department expects the Ter ritory to assume the burden, alone.
 What this will mean is not hard to see. It will mean that the educational standards of the Territory will be lowered considerably since the Territory cannot be expected to find the funds to do the job In fact the Territory is being hard put to find enough money to maintain the present Territorial school system.
 Just why Alaska should be expected to fulfill Federal obligation of this difficult to under stand Most of the States with large native popua- ons are given Federal aid in the form of tuition pay ments where native children attend State schools
 However this new policy not adopted without some provocaton We were told that General Super for closing down the schools at conference held in Washington earlier this year after Territorial official had been very critical of some of the ANS schools stating that in several communities where the ANS operating schools the residents were pleading the establishment of Territorial schools. Apparently the Interior Department felt that if the residents of Alaska didn't like the Indian Office schools the Territory could supply it's
 Southeast Alaska, of course, would be the first area hit by the down For it is here that the Territorial educational facilities are the best
 However, even Superintendent Foster foresee the consequences of closing ANS schools in areas where the native populations proportionatey larger than the white, such the Second Division. This has him worried, but apparently he do nothing about it but follow the orders from Wash ington

VIOLATING AIR RULES

All week the Civil AerCaautics Board has been huddling to deter mine whether to slap a fine on United Airlines for allegedly taking off overloaded from LaGuardia Field on May 29, resulting in one of the worst commercial crashes in aviation history
 CAB records show that the plane was overloaded and that the pilot violated CAB rules in making the flight.
 If the CAB slaps line on United Airlines it means that every pas senger's family aboard the ill-fated plane can sue the company for total of several million dollars.
 Naturally, the CAB is loath to take a step which will hit the all ready financially burdened airlines On the other hand, CAB officials feel that it is up to them to en- force the law, and, once before, United Airlines was found guilty of breaking CAB rules and was fined S5,000 This followed the crash at Elk Mountain, Wyo., on Jan. 31, l946, in which the plane was per mitted by the company dispatcher to fly off flight" in violation of CAB rules between Rock. Springs and Kemmerer, Wyo, a dis tance of 10 miles. in order to save about 20 minutes time.
 In the recent crash at LaGuardia Field, the Cleveland bound United Airlines plane took off from strip No. l3 the shortest at the field. in an overloaded DC-4. The CAB has established fixed rules for the weight to be carried by each plane on certain lengths of runways and the CAB probe so far indicates that United Airlines was in violation
 Meanwhile Congress, while de- manding greater air safety, and holding CAB responsible, is simul- taneously blaming CAB for too much regulation. A recent report by the House Appropriations Com mittee states that the industry is overregulated" and suggests that
 t 5 give more discre,.on to the airlineS:
 On the other hand, however. re- cent crashes indicate that when greater responsibility is placed on the airlines, more crashes result.

COMMUNICATION

First, I would like to state that every cent that is spent by the AL aska Native Service is audited by the General Accounting Office. and is scrutinized closely. Our budget for the fiscal year 1947 was S3,719,- coo. If the recommendation of the Senate is approved by the House that $400,000 of our funds be re- stored to our 1948 budget, we will have a budget of S3650,000 this coming year On the surface that is not a great deal of difference, but anyone who wants to take the time to analyze the difference in the cost of operation knows that the freight item alone will run over S100,000 difference
 In 1886 we had six hospitals with a total of 136 beds. In 1947 we had eight hospitals with AIS beds avail able, plus 90 tuberculosis beds at Tacoma. In 1886 we furnished B. PIT days in private hospitals of All aska. In 1947 we furnished 27,237 days in private hospitals. l am merely giving you a few figures here on health as an example of the way this program in Alaska has grown in the face of increased costs.
 I am for the timber bill with two changes, which l explained to you in my office on Friday. No. l. that the matter of settlement of aboriginal and possessory right claims in Alaska be by the courts instead of Congress. No. 2-that Congress put up the funds to pros ecute these claims and get this matter settled at an early date which will be to the benefit of ev- eryone in Alaska. Assistant Secre- tary, Gardner, specifically requested that delegates from the Natives of Alaska be sent to Washington to testify on this bill at an early date, even though they might oppose the
 bill Those delegates are now on i the way to Washington in response l to MT. Gardner's request I can as sure you that these delegates are l taking a very fair and reasonable
 attitude on this bill and will do ev-
 erything possible to work it out and
 bring the pulp industry to Alaska. Secretary Gardners attitude is cer- i tainly one of democratic procedure. Sincerely yours, l DON c. FOSTER l General Superintendent.

ROFESSOR ":.." EISENHOWER

General Eisenhower was talking to friends the otLer day about his desire to be president of a univer- sity.
 This job he said, referring to his present duty as Chief of Staff, ''iS a come-down. after being in Europe during the war. However, I felt that I owed it to the Army to help get appropriations through Congress. But I'm going to get out soon. There are several good men who could step in here and I owe it to them to make room for them. |"
 When a friend asked Eisenhower If he would be a candidate for the Presidency he replied:
 No man would ever refuse to be President of the United States and therefore I certainly would not re- tuse-provided I were given the nomination by exclamation without going out to campaign for 1t. But you and I know that it just doesn't come that way"
 Tn talking to the trustees of Col umbia, Eisenhower indicated that ont reason he was interested in be- coming it's president was because Columbia did not go in for racism,

but was open to students of all re- ligious faiths.
 Note-Talking to friends about the Russians recently, Eisenhow- CT remarked: Dealing with the Russians is like telling your wife lie If you tell her lie once, you keep on and it piles up until eventually she finds out. It's much better to tell her the truth. Like wise it's best to talk straight to the Russians"

Charles T. Smith, Executive As sistant with the Governors Office, has submitted his resignation to Gov. Ernest Gruening from Rock ford, Illinois. where he is now on leave. He plans to re-enter the practice of law.
 In submitting his resignation, Smith said.
 Although I have been informed that there have been no drastic cur tailments in the appropriation for the Governors Office as far as sal- aries for personnel are concerned, I do not hesitate to recommend that the position of Executive Assistant, created as I understand during the late war, be abolished at this time. Having held the position for the past fifteen months, I am of the opinion that the greatly decreased volume of work coming to the Gov ernor's Office since the end of the war makes the office of Executive Assistant no longer necessary, and that it is now needless expenditure of public funds"

Agreed Appropriation Bill Calls for Over Four
 Billion Dollars

WASHINGTON, July 11.-iR- Senator Saltonstall (R-Mass) said today a Senate House conference committee has agreed on Navy appropriation bill allowing expendi- ture of just over four billion dol lars" in the current fiscal year
 He said House conferees have agreed to accept part of Senate in- creases that will allow the Navy 395 ,O0O men and 42,000 officers dur ing the 12-month period beginning last July l.
 He said the compromise also provides $78,000O00 contract auth ority for purchase of new naval aircraft for anti-submarine patrol and reconnaissance.
 Saltonstall told reporters:
 T think that this will give us the numbers of men, ships and air craft needed for an effective fight ing navy during the next year. The cuts will delay some of the ultra modernization plans such as in- creased radar installations
