War Contract Frauds?
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer Rep George H. Benders recent statement relative to fraud and overpayment on war contract settle ments deserves serious study House subcommittee, will be interesting to what the committee uncoverS.
 It seems strange to us, first that MT Bender would make such statement before any court action had been instgated in the involved And 1t seems stranger if these as clear as the Rep resentative indicates, that court action has been taken. The Ohio legislator says that the Justice De- partment has failed to prosecute 93 cases referred to it.
 Any charge of fraud is serious enough Such charges involving contractsand involving to some extent the security of nation in time of conflict are even serious In view of this situation Rep resentatve Bender should be armed with conclusive evidence before publicizng his allegations certainly before making charges definite those he has advanced
 If such evidence is at hand must wonder why the Justice Department usually most conscientious in its prosecutions, has remained silent Only lack of proper evidence should dssuade Department of Justice prosecution And if such evidence is lacking certainly the Bender statement must be questioned.
 Evidence of fraud" referred to by MT Bender parts of his formal statement is thing Fraud is another In strict legal fraud does not exist until court of law after hearing all the evidence decides that fraudulent action has been perperated None of the instances cited by MT. Bender has been tried in a court of record
 Unless each of the 1t7 cases included in the Bender statement comes to trial and unless convic- tons obtained each, it would seem that his sweeping charges would be unfair-unfar at least to percentage of the individuals involved. Under any circumstances. quick inquiry is called for If the Justice Department already has completed such an inquiry, and has found no evidence on which reason ably to base suits, the public should be informed

ELIzABETH DECKER, PIONEER OF JUNEAU, DIES IN OKLAHOMA

Mrs. Elizabeth Decker, one ol Alaska's real pioneers, died in Oklahoma City September 4, ac- ccrding to word received in Ju- neau by her attorney, H. L. Faulk ner.
 One of the early settlers or ju- r,eau, Mrs. Decker lived here most of her life. Her husband, whose death occurred many years ago, was in the fur business and with his brother operated store on Front Street.

TO SPEED PULP MILLS

Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska indicated yes terday in Juneau that the Lemke Alaska Veterans Homestead Bill would get past his powerful Sen ate Public Lands Committee at least without con- siderable revision and his colleague Senator zales Ecton of Montana voiced his outright opposition to the measure, all of which should be encouraging and assuring potential investors in the pulp field in Alaska who will soon be submitting bids the first lots of timber.
 Juneau Attorney Norman Banfield's fears that the pulp companies might be discouraged from invest ing their money if the Lemke Bill in its present form is indeed something to consider The provisions of this bill should become law would supercede the contracts entered into between the Forest Service and pulp companies, allowing homesteaders to claim the timber stumpage for which the pulp companies would have entered into contract for allowing them to shut off rich timber areas from development by taking up homeseads along the beach.
 In line with this discussion, there have been in weeks several expressions of fear that Alaska is so concerned about getting the pulp mills that Alaskans may overlook the fact that there is danger of further damage to the TerritoryS salmon and other fishes from pollution of streams and unwise cut ting of timber
 However all cutting is to be carried on under strict Forest Service supervision, keeping in mind always the safeguarding of salmon streams and utilizing methods of manufacture to prevent stream pollution.
 Speaking for the salmon industry this week Man aging Director w c. Arnold of the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, stated that while he believes some small damage may result, the industry is not worried too much about it and does not oppose the coming of the mills He further pointed out that he will contact pulp companies for the purpose of working out joint research program which will have as it's object the minimizing of harm to the salmon.
 There is no question but what some small damage will but it is also very probable that joint research program may result in increase in the salmon

For National Defense

The fortnight positions taken by the American Legion and the Legion Auxiliary the question of universal military training two sraws in the wind of public opinion that it is hoped the members of Congress wifi carefully and on when they return to Washington in January In previous years the Legion has been ukewarm this issue. Now it calls for the immediate passage of laws inaugurating universal military training Since it's resolution unqualified it presumably approves of the War De- partment plan proposed in the last session of Con- greSs, for months of actual indoctrinaton and drill and then continuance for another six months of several choices of training schooling. Both the Legion and it's Auxiliary urged special session to adopt the necessary legislation Congress surely can not disregard this and other evidences of public de- mand It cannot continue it's ostrch-like attitude for
 
 If present Army and Navy enlistment trends con- tinue it possible the next session of Congress will also have to act the manpower deficit in the regular establishments Army enlistment totals through July which were announced recently, showed 25 per cent deficit in required totals for the first months of the year Tn actual numbers the deficit is 80,000 There is little hope that the deficit be made up during the next five months of the calendar year. The best guess is that the Army will find itself over oO0OO below authorized strength by Jan. l. Navy figures are somewhat better, with upturn in listments during July. But the Navy has been running behind it's needed monthly totals of 15,000 men.
 Congress quite understandably would like to have these matters settle themselves. It dskes taking position a question which there is any public division. But it will be shirking it's responsibility it does not face up the hard fact that national defense required trained men, and many of them If volunteer programs won't fill the need-and they never have-then Congress must adopt a method of selection. Anything else, in the present state of the world, is gambling with national security

EISENHOWER BOOM ROOMS

Two interesting things are hap pening to the Presidential boom Of General Ike Eisenhower:
 l. Ike himself IS still playing down the boom, accepting no bows, leiusing radio hook-ups; 3. Despite tfis, more and more big politicos are getting on Ike's bandwagon.
 Eisenhower is scheduled to speak at the University of West Virginia i'll Morgantown, on Sept. 23, and President Irwin Stewart offered him a national radio hook-up to carry his speech to the country, Ike, however, refused. Then Presi- dent Stewart proposed a local West Virginia radio broadcast Again the chief of staff declined.
 But whether he likes it or not, various political bigwigs are rapid ly climbing aboard the Eisenhower bandwagon. Originators of the Eisenhower boom were eX-candi- date Ali Landon of Kansas and rotund Roy Roberts, astutc editor of the Kansas City Star
 Today, various other COP big shots who don't like Dewey and who are afraid Taft has killed himself with the Taft Hartley Act are looking toward Eisenhow- CT Latest is the Sun Oil Con- pany's Joe Pew of Pennsylvania who never liked Dewey, and who has just commissioned ex-Con- gressman Charles Hawkes. of Wis consin to take a political scout ing tour Hawkes. has teen ord cred to talk up Eisenhower to COP leaders throughout the coun- try and start grass roo S move ment for the General.
 Note-Only trouble with Joe Pew's support is that he's never p.cked a winning candidate yet not even in COP conventions.
 No Won6er Eisenhower is play ing it modest.

 Pauley's present assignment is informal, does not need Senate confirmation. But after he has been there a few months, Senators arc likely to be lenient toward a man who is on the job and can say that he is working his way up.
 Moral: In politics the hand is sometimes quicker than the eye.

Safe Driving Theme
OF Carter Oil Ads

Highway accident prevention
is the featured theme of an ex-
tensive advertising campaign be-
ing used by the Carter Oil Co. ,
marketer of Oval-E petroleum
products.
The advertising calls attention
to highway traffic signs, explains
their meaning and urges all driv-
ers to observe and obey those
markers, which are placed on
highways to aid safe driving.
President Truman's Highway
Safety Committee and the Ma
tional Safety Council, as well as
many local safety councils, state
highway and city traffic safety
departments and public officials
have expressed appreciation to
the Carter Oil Co. for this pub
lie service program.
AS Tom Handy, local Oval-E
dealer, expressed it: 1--WE think
it's good business to help keer
cars out of smashups and helr
keep customers alive"
