about Senator Taft and the i'm
portant Taft-Stassen primary to-
day. is that Taft policies haven't
been too popular in the Senator S
home state. There is respect for
the Taft courage and the TAFT
family, but no great love Tor TAFT
policies. For instance:
While Republican Congress,
led by Taft, was cutting the Fed
eral budget to ribbons, the state
of Ohio, also led by Republicans,
was doing just the opposite. In
l947-48, the overwhelmingly con-
trolled Republican Ohio legislature,
and the Republican Governor OF
Ohio increased the state budget
At percent over Ohio's l945-46
expenditures under Democratic Gov
ernor Frank Lausche.
Yet. in the Senate, Taft has
been one of the most efficient
leaders for a contrary policy.

ONE MAN KILLED

May 4.-tR-A parcel bomb address
May 3.-R-A parcel bomb address
ed to Capt. Roy Farran, acquitted
of killing at Jewish boy in 'Pales-
tine, exploded today, killing his
brother, Rex Farran, 26.
The bomb, enclosed in a copy
of Shakespeare's plays, was deliv-
cred at the Farran home this
morning. -e
Young Farran was alone in the
house. The explosion shattered
windows.
Police said the parcel was mail
ed in England. The inside of the
book had been cut away to make
room for the bomb.
The Jewish youth, Alexander
Rubowitz, 10, disappeared last
May 6. The Stern Gang, Jewish
underground organization in Pales-
tine, claimed him as a member.
The military court which acquitted
Roy Ferran ruled that Rubowitz
had not been proved dead. He was
abducted while posting signs for
the Jewish underground. The
prosecution based its case large
ly on a light gray hat which it
said was found nearby and bore
the name Farran.

SENATOR THOMAS
SPECTATORS

One of the most interesting fig
ures among the unique assort-
ment Of characters who had the
run of Oklahoma Senator Thomas
Office at the height of his specu-
lating days was Robert M. Harriss
of the Harriss and Vose brokerage
firm.
1t was Bob Harriss who handled
Father Coughlin's deals when he
was specializing in silver and who
also handled the cotton operations
of Mrs. Elmer Thomas, the Sena-
tors wife.
Smuggling close to both Senator
Thomas and Robert Harriss have
been two state agricultural COM
missioners, A. E. Macdonald of
Texas and Tom Under of Geor-
gia. Harriss has worked with
both men on various cotton deals.
The way Senator Thomas office
has been used is somewhat like
this:
When the Senator from Okla
homa blasted proposals to control
prices, naturally prices rose
When Thomas forecast good crops
prices dropped When the Sena-
tor made a speech on the pro-
posed policy of the Department OF
Agriculture, the market reacted
Advance knowledge of the Sena-
tors speeches naturally meant a
windfal to men like Harriss. He
could buy or sell cotton just be-
fore one OF the Senator's speech
es.
Agricultural commissioners Mac
Donald and Under of Texas and
Georgia were also important in
this respect. They are artists al
making angry protests against
farm legislation. These protests
sometimes influence the commod-
ity market.
Bob Harriss has been so success
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1948-05-04

full in the market that he has built
UP a beautiful estate on Long Is
land reputedly worth million dol
lars. The estate is called Bar
carol.
Visiting him on this estate last
summer were none other than
Texas commissioner Macdonald
and his wife. They were on a
vacation trip to Canada. Before
they left, MacDonald's good friend
broker Harriss, went into South
hampton along with Macdonald,
stopped at the establishment of
Walter Rutyner, De Soto automo-
bile dealer, and they bought
shiny new De Soto for MacDonald's
vacation trip.

OIL LOBBY

OIL LOBBY
Hard working Senator DonneH
of Missouri begins important hear
ings today ON the most powerful
lobby Washington has seen in
long time tidelands oil.
Donnell and Harry Truman, both
from Missouri, one a Republican
and the other a Democrat, don't
agree on lot of things. But they
do agree that the vast reserve oil
oil under the ocean bottom-name-
ly tidelands 'cil-helongs to the
Federal Government. And il Don
nell is able to uncover some OF
the big money that was put into
Truman's campaign by the big oil
bows who thought they were IN
fluencing future tidelands votes,
then it should be noted to Presi-
dent Truman's credit that he re-
manned true TO his convictions, not
his political friends.
There is one phase of the tide
lands oil pressure group that
bears especial attention. II is the
fact that exactly the same gang
which overcharged the U. S. Navy
for Arabian oil, which finagled
lush loans from the U. S. Treasury
for King Ibn Saud of Arabia, and
which lobbied TO kill the partition
of Palestine, is now pulling wires
to turn the rich tidelands oil
reserve over TO coastal states
with considerable benefit TO the
oil companies.
In other words, Standard Oil
OF California and the Texas OIL
Company, backed by the Guaranty
Trust Company and various big
bankers, are the real people TO
watch both III regard to the Arab
lobby and tidelands OIL They go
hand in hand.
Note-Its significant that the
Wall Street firm of James V. For
restal. now the most potent man
in the Cabinet. once handled the
finances of the Arab-American oil
interests. Forrestal is the man
who persuaded Truman to XII
the partition of Palestine, thus
leaving the United Nations and
the Near East with about the worst
international mess since the wal
ended.

One thing you have TO remember
Valley frontiersman., 1948-09-15
ZeiIes To Leove Late This Month

Rev. and Mrs. w. L. Zeile and daughter Mary soon will leave Palmer to make their home at Davison, Michigan, where Rev. erend Zeile has been called to the paStorate of Trinity Lutheran Church. The minister expects to preach his farewell sermon here on Sept. 26, and will leave the Valley on Sept. 30.
 Davison is a city of about 2,O00 population on the outskirts of Flint, Mich. For Reverend Zeile it will truly be a return home, for his brother is pastor of a church in Flint, and his father is minister in another city only 50 miles distant.
 Reverend Zeile has been in Palmer for more than three years. He first arrived here on June 21, 1945. Palmer was his first ministerial assignment, for he came direct from the Concor- dia seminary at St. Louis, Mo.
 It was in Palmer that he met and married the former Miss Ruth Clemson, who was then public health nurse for the Val ley. The couples first child was born here just seven months ago.
 It is not known when another minister will come to Palmer to fill the pulpit at St. Johns Luth- eran Church.

ACS PLANS A STATION IN PALMER

An ACS station is planned for Palmer, if office space for the plant and quarters for the two man office force can be found, it was reported here this week. Maj. Philip Wingfield, head of ACS in Anchorage, recently conferred with local businessmen concern ing the plan.
 Major Wingfield explained that ACS is now in the process of ab- sorbing the communication lines of the Alaska Railroad. When this move is completed, it is hoped that a branch office can be eS- tabliShed in Palmer. However, it is not expected that the office could be opened before December.
 The establishment of the of flee here will mean much better communication facilities for the Valley. It will link Palmer with Valdez, Juneau, Wrangell, Peters burg and Cordova and will make for greatly improved reception with Fairbanks.

Barge Brings Valley

Household goods, h t n g equipment, groceries and AT tons of cement, all destined for the Matanuska Valley, were loaded aboard the Steel Barge SIS when she left Seattle docks recently.
 The 613's trip probably will be the last one for the barge line until the strike is settled. At first reported unaffected by the mari time tie-up, more recent ac- counts say that the barge line also will be bottled up by the strike.

FoirFigures
 Aren't Ready

Facts and figures on the 1940 Matanuska Valley Fair still were mostly a matter of conjecture at press time. The fair board was expected to receive complete financial report on Tuesday eve ming, but that report still was in- complete at the Frontiersman deadline.
 Preliminary estimates indicate that the Fair Association SuS- tained quite a heavy loss on the car. Attendance figures were not yet final, but it appears that heavy expenses for this fair will make net returns much smaller than usual.
 A larger prize list was offered this year than ever before In addition, building improvements in the amount of S3,500 were completed before the opening of the three-day event.
 M. D. SnodgraSs, fair board member, said the fairs managers considered this years show a success, even though the finan- cial return may be small. He ex- pressed a special word of appre- citation to the residents of Sew ard, WaSilla, Cordova and An chorage, all of whom had a part in the displays or concessions.
 A report from the office of L. A. Moore of the Alaska Railroad states that more than 900 visitors from Anchorage came to the Val ley by train over the Labor Day weekend.
 A complete financial report of the fairs operation is expected to be ready for publication next week

It was a year ago today that Volume One. Number One of the Valley FrontierSman reached it's readers.
 A quick glance through the columns of that first paper re- veals that the topics which made news then still are with us. Time has moved ahead another year, but top news then is still pretty important today.
 The biggest story in that paper was the account of. the dairy mems suit against the Coop, which was nearing a decision.

Producers Sov TheyWeren't Consulted

An Anchorage newspaper re- port that the 5 cents a quart in crease in milk prices, effective to- day, comes at the request of Mat anuska Valley dairymen, brought a surprised denial from local dairymen. We knew nothing about it until we read it in the paper" they assert.
 The Anchorage article states that the increase came as the re- suit of request made at a meet ing of Matanuska Valley dairy men. This was emphatically de- nied by Rex Monaghan, presi- dent of the Matanuska Valley Dairymen's Association, and Jack Cope, head of Palmer Dairy Products Association. The first group is a breeders association and the second a marketing or ganiZation.
 Both MT. Monaghan and Mir. Cope agree in part with facts in the news article which dealt with the rising costs of milk produc- tion The article pointed out that the dairymen had last re- ceived an increase in 1946. Since that time hay has jumped S15 a ton, wages have gone up and feed is up $150 a hundred.
 T agree with the statements concerning the price of feed and rising costs of production" MT. Monaghan declared. However, we were not consulted in any way on the milk price increase, and this announcement comes as surprise to us We did hear at one dairymen'S meeting, report which was just rumor concern ing the boards (the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating As sociation board of directorS) plan to raise the price of milk.
