DOWN PENNSYLVANIA AVE.

COP Congressman E. H. He'd rick of West Virginia has vigor- ously protested to the White House against the proposed sale of 225 government-oWned homes at South Charleston, w. Va. We are sell ing war plants for 10 cents on the dollar, but the appraisal value of these housing units has been jacked up so high by government housing officials that vets can't get leans from banks to buy homes, !" Hedrick told the President. Men who fought for this country can't understand why we sell war plants cheap to industry and homes high to veterans" When the Presi- dent received a pair of gold-plated boots and bootjack from the Fl Paso Chamber of Commerce, he sur prised the Texas presentation com mittee hy putting the two-piece bootjack together in jig time You do that like an old hand" exclaimed Representative Ken Re- gan, from the Texas cattle coun- try Said California's Repre- sentative Harry Sheppard to a group of Congressmen in the House restaurant: Unless we are com pletely stupid, we must assume that the German scientists Russia com mandeered have given her the atomic bomb by this time, and that she has planes as fast or. perhaps, faster than ours to carry the bomb. That means we will either have to start appeasing Rus sia or build an air force big enough to whip her. The quicker we build an air force like that, the quicked Stalin and his thugs will become good boys"

Bad Sign
Cincinnati Enquirer

(Clnclnnatl Enqulrer)
 Anti-Communist anti-Soviet anti-Russian feeling has been working up to- the point of hysera since the Czechoslovak affair. Some of its latest manl1esta- tions have rather uncomfortable implications We do not refer to silly incidents like the one Tn wnch a California Judge withheld an estate settlement oe- cause one of the beneficiaries Russian, and Russia was kicking the United States in the teeth What we have in mind is the incident Of the ralding of a Communists home near Columbus
 Here there mob action and violence involved, which itself is a bad thing. We hold no brief for Communist party officials what they stand for. That party, however, still happens to enjoy legal status in the United States and believe in the State of Ohio Therefore the use of mob tactics, which outside the law, sets dangerous precedent
 There are orderly methods of reducing the effectiveness of the Communist party than those em- ployed by the jealous citizens of Franklin County who staged the raid discussing. We do not grieve over the destruction of few window panes or a mess of Communist pamphlets, but do feel apprehensve over the decreasing respect for law and order.

APRIL 22
COMMUNICATION

Editor, The Empire, April 2l-
 Considerable transformation is Jeing circulated concerning the ne- cessity of party declarations by vot- ITS in the coming primary elections A good example was the small ad run in your April 20 issue by the Alaska Tax Payers League which stated, you will have to register as l Democrat, Republican or a mem per of no Political Party before you can vote" This is incorrect.
 When the Common Primary Law was passed, its framers overlooked repeating the section in the old law requiring party declarations.
 Attorney General Ralph Rivers has stated that in his opinion it was the intent of the new law ito per init all qualified voters to partici- pate in the forthcoming primary election without the necessity of de- claring a political party affiliation.' ?
 Since the section referred to above was not repealed, however, he has stated that Voters are to be asked to state a political party affilia- ion, which voters will no doubt do in most cases, but (thaD persons who decline to so declare themselves will still be entitled to vote. Follow ing their names on the registration book will be written the words, No Party Declared" and he has fur ther stated that election officials will be so instructed.
 Tn other words, when the election officials ask for your party declar- tion you may state it if you wish, or you may say, T don't care to make a declaration" or No party declared" or make any similar re- sponse.
 Definitely, you do not have to de- clare a party utilization if you don't wish to, nor, regardless of the AL
 ska Taxpayers League, do you have to be registered as "a member of no political party if you don't de- clare.
 Those of us who are interested in genuine common primary law should, before the next Legislative Session, let our Legislators know that we want repeal of the old sec jon requiring party declarations, so that in the next primary election we will not be asked to make any declaration of any kind regarding our party affiliations.
