Congress is being urged to authorize the struction of 1000 post ~ifices but if Rep. J.

 The Ohio Congressman is quoted saying; We don't want to compete with private construction of homes Post office construction will have to wait lower construction costs and more plentiful supply of materials"
 The Federal Government is in a much different position in the matter of public buildings than other political agencies Although in the final analysis the money for all public buildng-Federal State or muni- cipal-comes out of the public purse there is great difference in the manner in which this money IS made available. In Ohio, for example, most public building dependent the approval of bond issues by the voters and in most cases such approval re- quires 65 per cent vote
 That is why schools courthouses and hospitals not built when there is need to find jobs for workers
 in the building trades and when materials are plentiful but rather when School Boards County Commission CTS and hospital authorities have bond money The Federal Government on the other hand can time its capital expenditures for those times when the en- ployment of labor and orders for manufacturers most needed.
 Representative Mccregor is to be commended for the intelligent manner in which he views these present requests for GOO worth of post offices Git estimated that the cost of each of the 1000 proposed buildings would be $l50OoO) and for his refusal to be swayed by the personal interests of other Congressmen who are more inter ested in making showing before their own con- stituents than in spending public funds where they will do the most good and at time when they can be spent to the best advantage

 Some of the names cited speak for themselves There are organizations that frankly Communist and others that recognizably fascist and mem- bership in either sort implies disbelief in American forms of democracy This disbelief is not a crime, but it units the person who holds il Federal positions in which he would be expected to work through those forms and in the democratic spirit Other organizations less easily identified: the publication of this list will at least cause many persons who are associated with one or another of them to re-examine the basis of their membership Still other organizations the list to of us We simply do not know the evidence under which they backlisted We do know Communists often nftrate organ1zations which are not Con- munist and we know that Communists and non-C Con- mnists may occasionally up to certain point for instance in their fol refugees who dare not return to Franco Spain.

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Juneau's City Council is studying the proposal Tor establishing an independent school district as an answer for solving the perplexing school problems whlch the city now faces and there to be great deal ln favor of such proposal.
 Quite a number of children from outside of the city other educational facilities not available are able to take advantage of the schools supported by city taxpayers while the parents of these children contribute nothing toward the support of the schools
 At present the city budgets about five mills Of the twenty mills collected in taxes for the support of schools If We had independent school district taking in the area from Yankee Basin to Dupont, those living outside of the city limits would also be contributing five mills for the schools. The law, of course provides that all property within the school district would pay the same tax toward the support of the schools.
 There is no question but what the overcrowded conditions in the city schools at present de- mand a solution It may be tnat better remedy can be found but the proposal to create independent school district merits careful consideration.

MARSHALL PLAN" FOR
 NAVAJOS

NCtes From The Cabinet Cores pondent-Along with the aid to Europe a 1Marshall Plan" for the proud but poverty stricken Navajo Indians will be demanded by the Interior Department, authorizing 90,o00,000 worth of rehabilition in our own back yard. A blueprint will be laid at Congress feet for a 10-year recovery program.
 Interior has pleaded the Maya jos case upon Capitol Hill often but this time Secretary Cap Krug feels that public indignation will force Congress hand. Condi- ticns on the parched, eroding Navajo Reservation have deterior- ated to such state that President Truman the other day issued a stirring appeal for emergency re- lief The House Public Lands Committee promptly introduced a bill for S2.0O0,O00 aid. But as soon as the winter crisis has been met, Krug is ready with complete long range program.
 Now in the final planning stages, the program will call for
 l. Range improvement and soil conservation, $9,000,000. The Maya jos live on the semi-arid, sage ush-dotted mesas in the corner of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. The principal crop is grass, the major industry sheep raising The land cannot support more than 35,000 people, but today 1000 are trying to scratch a living rom it.. As a result the range is dying One way to save it is to stop the water and wind from carrying away precious topsoil

It is Kdug's plan to build more schools, hire more teachers and send out school buses to round up the students.

Attorney General Tom C. Clark has designated some ninety organizations in this country tota- tarian fascist Communist or subversive" Member ship in one more of these organizations will be one factor in testing the fitness of Federal employees under President Trumans loyalty order.
 Obviously worried by the responsibilities lad upon him. Mir Clark has delayed issuing the list, and he has now issued it with qualification which ought to win the warm approval of those who look upon civil liberties as the first line of our democratic defense As he put it:
 Guilt by association has never been one
 of the principles of American jurisprudence.
 We must be satisfied that reasonable grounds
 exist for concluding that individual is dis
 loyal That must be the guide.
 But guilt by association is certainly implied in the procedure which the Attorney General was in duty bound to follow under the Presidents order The

Enemy agents against our Government fulfill missions in America by means ol diplomatic passports of the Dominican Government. In some countries, official and for eign persons of the Dominican Government have bought and con- tinue to purchase arms for an armed movement against our coun- try
 Already Trujillo has purchased vast stores of arms in Brazil, uS- ing the Presidential yacht to ship them, the paper charges. One shipment assertedly included 10000 rifles with 30,00O,000 rounds of ammunition and 800 machine guns. The paper points out that this is more than is needed for Dominican defense, and warns grayely that the situation should constitute a serious preoccupation for all the American Governments"
 Venezuela within her sovereign rights could break relations with the Dominican Government, the paper goes on, but it would be against the sympathetic feeling, the understanding and the friend ship oi her people towards the suffering Dominicans . But our Government will not lift a finger to disturb the peace of the Dominican Republic, nor do it ill the future unless we are obliged to defend our own rights, our sover- eighty and our institutions.
