On the Other Hand
Concerning Chairman Hannegan,
Gael Sullivan and Some Rumors

And II Chairman Hannegan does
have the naming, the line Of Irish
political kings-Messrs. Farley to
Flynn to Walker to Hannegan-will
be carried on by Mr.. Sullivan. So
Mr.. Hannegan's friends say. They
are very sure, by the way, that 1t
won't be that ebullient Irishman,
Judge James Patrick McGranery,
who, when asked by q New York
reporter If he would accept the ap-
pointment, replied, 1T would be
very hard to turn the President
down." They ascribe both the re-
port and the reply to the possibility
that Mr.. McGranery finds himself
lonesome on the bench in Phila-
delphia, after his lively years in
Washington. "He probably just
wanted to hear from some Of his
friends" one Of his acquaintance
remarked when he heard the story.
Chairman Hannegan, who selected
Mr.. Sullivan for his present Job, has
been outspoken in his approval Of
the way it Is being performed. Hav-
ing himself put more steam into
the national committees operations
than it ever before had known-not
even excepting the first four years
Of Mr.. Farley-he feels that Mr..
Sullivan has kept that steam up in
q more-than-satisfactory manner.
This applies not only to the commit
tees energetic educational work but
also to its detailed organizational
efforts, reaching into every State.
Some Are Dissatisfied.
There obviously is some dissatis-
faction with Mr.. Sullivan, however,
In some quarters not too remote
from the White House. It appears
to be part Of q hardening core of
conservatism In those same quar-
tiers, Q resistance to the persistent
claim of labor leaders Of q right to
be heard on questions Of national
policy. Mr.. Sullivan has made little
secret of his quick and instructive
sympathy with the labor leaders.
II for no better reason, he has not
lost sight Of the fact that without
labor's well-organized support the
party's prospects will be hopeless
next year.
The conservative group may feel

career which was thoroughly publ
cized. There is danger that he may
become monotonous, which certainly
will be fatal.
Despite their bold front, the Taft
forces were obviously somewhat non
plused by their fumbling start. The
Senator launched his fuller explana-
ton Of his "eat less" views promptly
and with entire good humor. He did
not cry misquote or blame the head
line writer's, which Is his usual re-
freshing course.
But he was less prone than usual
to shoot from the hip in answer to
their questions. For example, he was
asked about universal military train
ing. Senator Taft referred to an old
speech he had made against 1t, con-
coded there was no evidence he had
changed his mind-and shut up.
Apt Explanation.
His explanation about eating less
was apt: That he was only following
President Truman's line that some
self denial must follow If we get
acute food shortages. His insistence
that voluntary self-denial was pref
cradle to rationing would be popular
The humorists, Of course, got busy
They suggested Senator Taft had
launched his "Me-Too" for the presi-
dency. It was here in the liberal
West in "A, incidentally, that Gov
Dewey became 10 New Dealish on
labor, ETC., that the Democrats
pinned the "Me-Too" tag on him.
One issue, it Is clear, Senator
Taft will not excuse or evade. He
stands by the Taft-Hartley Labor
Act as having in 1t nothing that will
impair true collective bargaining,
cornerstone Of labor rights.
He has promised, however, to look
into the controversial question OF
hiring halls while here. American
Federation of Labor Leader Harry
Lundeberg Of the sailors union of
the Pacific told him these were out
lawed under the Taft bill. Mr.. Taft
said he doubted 1t but would re-
examine the question.

are now moving In to replace tn,

against Tito's army since the enc
Of the war.
The Italian high command IS dis.

Across the border Tito Is main
tanning his 4th Army with head
quarters at Ljubljana in readiness
for any emergency. This army is
considered the best Yugoslav unit
and is provided with an ample air
force, tank divisions, paratroopers
and everything a modern force re-
quires.
The Italian government does not
believe there will be any formal
penetration Of Tito's forces into
Northern Italy. But 1t believes, on
the basis of reliable information
gathered from Togliatti's headquar-
tiers and from Yugoslavia, that Tito
will send reinforcements to Togliat-
ii, enabling him to detach the m
dustrial northern portion OF the
country from the agricultural south
and to proclaim a Northern italian
republic which would cooperate
with the Slavic bloc.
Premier de -Gasperi realizes that
Italy does not have the necessary
strength to resist such q drive. His
only hope, expressed officially and
unofficially to Americans who have
talked with him, Is that the United
States might be able to prevent such
partition of his country.
But neither Mr.. de Casper mol
other representatives Of the Chris
tian Socialist Party have much hope
They are aware that Russia could
veto any attempt to save Italy, on
the ground that it was a domestic
affair in which the United Nations
cannot permit itself to become in
volved.
Mr.. de Casper and his govern
ment are already being described
by the Moscow and Belgrade propa-
gandists as Fascists and tools Of the
'imperialist American warmongers. u
Togliatti, who has been one of the
secretaries Of the Comintern for 20
years, is hailed as the defender OF
the people and of the true concep-
ton of democracy.
The italian government and the
Vatican expect the revolution to
break out before the end of this
year, soon after all American forces
have been Withdrawn.

 Opposition by Alaskan
 Indians Is Successful

WASHINGTON, July 7-R-Four Alaskans headed homeward Satur- day with hoped for tours of Wash ington's historic spots and visits to New York City and Hollywood denied by Governmental delays.
 The men Territorial Senator Frank Peratrovich of Klawak, Rep resentatives Frank Johnson of Rake and Andrew Hope of Sitka, and Fred Grant of Hydaburg appeared before the House Agriculture Com mittee last week in opposition to legislation which would permit Government sale of Southeastern Alaska timber to paper mills.
 Theodore H. Haas, chief counsel for the Indian Service, said the men since their arrival from Alas ka-at the expense of the Alaska Native Brotherhood which they rep resent, and in the midst of the fishing season when they are need ed at home-have spent much of their time awaiting the outcome of conferences between Government Agencies on the legislation.
 These men came long way, and they had hoped to squeeze in visit to New York and Califor- nia,' Haas told reporters.
 They had arranged a trip to New York, only three hours away by train over the weekend, but when they heard there was pos sibility of an agreement, they can celled the trip. They spent the weekend in hotels and anterooms, instead"
 The four hoped for plane con- nections which would get them home early in the week. Mean while, the likelihood of satisfactory settlement of the disputed legisla- tion appeared remote.
 The Alaskans objected to the bill before the Committee, which would authorize the Government to sell timber from Tongass National For est in Southeastern Alaska and place the money in a fund until forest ownership is determined by Congress or the courts. They ask instead that their aboriginal use and occupancy rights be recognized and their claim be negotiated in advance of the sale of the timber.

Hits Out Al Del. Bartlett in Letter
 On Pulp Development

Ketchikan Territorial Senator Norman R. Walker has dispatched the following open letter to Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett, taking him to task on the dispute over Alas ka pulp lands:
 The Honorable E. L. Bartlett, Delegate in Congress from Alaska, Dear Delegate Bartlett:
 For the record and my informa- tion I would like to have you an- sWer few questions relative to your stand on aboriginal rights. When the four Indians from Alaska recently went to Washington they were entertained by you and taken Before the Committee to make their utterly unreasonable demands and the record does not show that you protested them. These demands are keeping upwards of $150,000,000 out of Alaska that would benefit both whites and Indians equally.
 To meet the Indian demands would be to sell in perpetuity the birthright of our children and un- born generations forever. It would be the opening wedge for them to make the same demands for min ing, fishing and oil and irretrievab- ly put burden on Alaska such as was never suffered by any Terri tory acquired by peaceful means.
 The demands of the four afore- mentioned Indians, three of them members of the Alaska Legisla- ture, are shocking to the decency and morals of the fairminded citi- zens of Alaska both Indian and white. I wholly disagree with the idea that 10 percent of the pro ceeds from the sale of timber should go to the Indians. Because a few business people would im- mediately benefit during construc- tion, I do not want my children and grandchildren born in Alaska, and Natives though not Indians, to say their father or grandfather sold them out for his immediate gain. I have always supported you but feel that I with all other citizens of Alaska are entitled to have a clear and concise answer on what your stand is and repudiation of the demands made by Territorial Senator Frank Peratrovich, Terri torial Representatives Hope and Johnson, and MT. Grant, and that you favor without qualification H.J.R. 205 as against HR. 190 which entails endless lawsuits.
 Very truly yours,
 NORMAN R. WALKER
