Loyalty Board
ashinptnn PnstA

The 20 persons picked by the Civil Service Con- mission members of it's Loyalty Review Board will be the real determinants Of the character of the Presidents loyalty program It is they who will give substance the vague and thoroughly unsatisfat ory standards and procedures set forth in the executive order nstituting the loyalty program. The compost
 on of the board is encouraging There are dis
 nguished and stalwart men in the group; the caber of others is unknown to us We cannot help wishing that there young among them They will have arduous, exacting task and will need all the resiliency and fortitude they can muster
 There are two respects in which the board must shape the Presidents order wisely if the loyalty pro- gram is not to degenerate into dangerous hunt for heresy One of these the exercise of tolerance and discretion in considering in connection with the de- termination of dislovaltv. the Presidents order requires, association with organizations designated subversive by the Attorney General Loose or careless consideration could readily mean accepting the ugly doctrine of guilt by association and convicting on the ground of personal opinion. It is certainly to be hoped incidentally, that the board will require prompt publication of the Attorney Generals pro- hibitory index
 It is of even greater importance however that the board require disclosure of the identity of in tormants whose testimony dsloyaty charges founded The Presidents order provides that m
 nvestigatve agency may refuse to disclose the names of confidential informans. provided 1t furnishes suf ncient information about such informants the basis of which the requesting department agency can make adequate evaluation of the information furnished by them" In view. the board should regard information sufficient for this purpose short of frank disclosure, at the least to the members of the board of the informants identities. Lacking such information the board have way cf evaluating testimony We continue to hold the opinion, indeed. that men or women charged with disloyalty ought to be granted the basic American right of confronting their accusers It is hard to understand how justice can be assured in any other way.
 If the loyalty board adopts these standards it will certainly find itself falling short of the quota of con- victons which such Congressional heresy hunters MeSrs Rees and Rankin expect of it. This will mean, of course, that 1t will be subjected to formidable sure from Capitol It'll to start the heads of Govern ment workers rolling We hope that it will be able to resist that pressure For it's responsibility is to safe guard the rights and freedoms which have dis tnguished our society from police state less than safeguard national security from alien attack

BURNED TO CINDERS

He wasn't wanted around Wash ingtOn, where he might talk to newsp2permen. The whole tragic story of Army coyerup revolyes around the fact that a small group of officers tried to get paratroop- er transport planes equipped with amor plate around the pilots seat and with self-sealing gasoline tanks Without sell~sealing tanks, a bullet penetrating the trans ports gas tanks caused it to burst into flames. The paratroopers in siGe were burned to cinders before they had half a chance to bail out
 Efforts to get this protection on transport planes were increased after the Sicilian tragedy It was well known that come D-Day, with thousands of U. g. paratroopers flying over Normandy, more men might be lost unless their trans ports were equipped at least with self sealing tanks.
 This paratrooper protection was approved by Maj. Gen. P, L. Will

NOT IMPERIALISM

Thurman Arnold delivered an interesting address the other day on American foreign policy unaer challeging caption-"The New American Imperialism From that title one would expect the address to be a spirited challenge to the Marshall Plan It was not On the contrary the former Assistant Attorney Gen eral spoke with warm approval Of the aims Of the Administrations foreign policy and succeeded in cpl tcmizing it in words that likely to give it new meaning to many who listened to read his address with care
 As the economic leader of a metropolitan world we cannot afford to maintain international siuns as breeders of disorder" MT Arnold said This the most significant revolution American thought and attitude of our times We have at last identified the prosperity Of western Europe with our safety and security | Is an imperialism for rehabilitation, not for exploitation It called cold war. But il is
 war to ee, ahead Of our enemies not in destroying production but n reyving it. He thinks that the result Of the effort to get Europe back on its feet will be "a greater stimulus toward expanding precuc- tion than We have ever known before except in war
 Except for single word We think this descrip- tion and estimate of the United States foreign policy is apt and Illuminating. But Mir. Arnold is likely to find his phrase" imperialism for rehabilitation - banded about Russia in distorted form and dinned into the ears of Europeans by Communist propaganda as proof of Americas intention to exploit them for it's own gain Few Americans will misunderstood MT. Arnolds meaning For that matter Moscow's pro- ragandsts fully aware of the intent behind his statement The point is that one tainted word such imperialism" can be used by these clever propa- gandists reverse the meaning of entire speech turn it against policy that it intended to susts,n
 This effort the part Of MT Aronld to describe the American foreign policy that is taking shape in fresh and vivid terms reminds us that one has succeeded in enbodying that policy in effective

 TONIGHT OVER KINY
 FOR BpWC PROGRAM

This evening, between 700 and 7:15 o'clock, the Business and Pro- fess,onal Womens Club will spon- scr a broadcast over KINY that features the work of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association Taking part in the broadcast will be Mrs. Bess Vim, Executive Secretary of the Association, and the Rev. James ConWell The latter is a member of the Kiwanis seal sale and welfare committee. The Xii wanis Club of Juneau this year is sponsoring the local seal sale.
 By forming the seal sale and welfare committee, the Kiwanis Club may retain 20 percent of the Juneau receipts for local rehabil- itation funds connected with the relief of tuberculosis patients and their families. That there is a 6ire need for this fund is confirm ed by Miss Elizabeth Mosher, Child Welfare Consultant with the De- partment of Public Welfare. Cur rently they have had to tell tuber- culous mothers with babies that there are no funds available for the temporary care of their children If the mother and child are not separated it will almost inevitably lead to the child having tuher- culosis in some form. Too often a crippling condition results.

jams and by Col Ralph Bagby, Chief of Staff of Airborne Infan- try in the Mediterranean. Finally an order was written and sent to Gen. Bennett Meyers, in charge Of airplane procurement. He was to install f-sealing tanks in para troop transports.
 But nothing happened Weeks dragged by. The cross Channel in- vasion of France was coming near CT. But still nothing happened. Finally Colonel LauX, one of the officers who had seen men murder cd ever Sicily, sat down and wrote a letter to Secretary of War Stim- sen. And to make sure Stimson got it. Laux took the letter to Stimsons home and delivered it personally to Mrs. Stimson.

 Consequently. realize the nec- essity of self-sealing tanks to a degree that cannot be appreciated by anyone who has not gone into combat in troop-carrier aircraft. That belief is shared by every troop-carrier pilot and every troop carrier officer who has been charged with the responsibility of sending his men into combat.
 Tt is little short of murder. I have waged many battles within this Headquarters in an effort to correct the ituation-Without suc- cess. However, copy of the latest staff study on the subject is at tached for your information
 The actual record oi seif-seal- ing tanks for troop-carrier aircraft will show that they have been de- manded consistently for a period of a year and a half-that the materiel is available-that the priority Of other Air Forces projects would not te affected-and that the tanks could have been pro- duced and delivered to the United Kingdom in time for the coming lnvasionp
 Secretary of War Stimson, how ever, merely referred this letter to one of the officers who had opposed sealing tanks-Gen. Barney Giles-and later in the day, Col onel Laux, the man who dared correct bad Army blunder, found himself flying to Nome, Alaska, with no orders other than to sit there for the wars duration,
 If Secretary for Air Symington really wants to clean up brass-hat blunders, he might call Colonel Laux to get the full story. If not, the rest of the story will be told in this column shortly.

TEXT OF LAUX LETTER

This columnist has now obtained copy of Laux's letter, dated June l, 1914 Pertinent portions follow:
 In commenting upon tne loss of troop-cariier aircraft at Catania, Sicily, last July 1914, you stated To say that the Army will toler- ate laundering or endeavor to cov- CT it up is simply not true
 In view of your statement" con- tinued Colonel Laux, T feel con- fident that you would not toler- ate the situation which exists in connection with self-sealing tanks for troop-carrier aircraft, if you knew the facts.
 When MT Loyett Cthen Assistant Secretary of War for Air, now Un- der Secretary of State) indicated that Drew Pearson was about to release an article showing that the Army Air Force were asleep at the switch on this subject, was di- rected by my immediate superior to prepare a defense for the Army Air Forces in these words:
 Even though we all recognize the necessity for self sealing tanks in troop-carrier aircraft, that k not the point The Army Ali Forces are being attacked and oul job is to protect The Chief Gen Hap. Arnold. It is now up to u! to present all the reasons why wt should not have self-sealing tanks.
