Walkers opponents hard put finding anything in Walkers record which justifies criticism.
 For session after session, Walked led the fight for tax reform In 1945, however, he threw the sion into uproar when he moved to junk his own income tax bill after he had found that the powers that be had made amendment deals with Alaska's large industries which would have left the entire burden the wage
 In the special session in 1e46, Walker led the successful fight to enact his bill setting up a fund for loans and bonuses to veterans of World War II. Most States still have done nothing along this line.
 It will be real loss to Alaska if the voters fail to re-eect Senator Norman R. Walker to the Senate While we have disagreed with him many, many times during his Is years ill the Legislature, have ad- mired his ability and sincere desire to the people the best of his ability We feel that in the difficult times ahead his experience is needed in the Senate

DOES THE RECORD MEAN ANYTHING

It's thankless task for man of any ability to forget about his business and individual privacy in order people when the Territorial Legisla ture meets every two years.
 As all legislators find out later, you can't please all of the people all of the time and too often good man will serve session in the Legis- lature and give up when the criticism is turned in the heat of the next political campaign. He just does't figure it's worth it.
 Unfortunately the voter too often is inclined to listen to loose charges hurled forth in the heat of the aspiring candidate
 Here il he First Division this election we have only one candidate running for reelection to the Senate and it will be interesting to see if the record means anything.
 Senator Norman R. (Doc) Walker is staging real fight for reelection He has served total of 16 years in the Legislature and is the only candidate in the Senate as a qualification. Walker nominated in the primary though he completely ignored making a campaign.
 And if experience and service mean anything, he will be reelected tomorrow.
 Walker is up against pretty big odds this time, however Not only will he be fighting against large Republican vote, but he is getting support from ing the election of Doc Mackenzie of Ketchikan, Democrat, and Anita Garnick of Juneau Republican both of whom are favored by the strong left-wng elements which control Democratic Party in Alaska at present

ing to President Truman is his difficulties with the French and l British.
 He has had a much tougher time than the press dispatches indicate keeping our Western AL lies united regarding firm Rus sian policy.
 French Foreign Minister Schu- man has been especially hard to keep in line. With a large bloc of Communist deputies to worry about, he tried to persuade Marshall that the United Nations should order new Big diplomatic talks instead of a showdown before the U. N For a time Schuman ! was quite insistent, argued that if , he U. N. ordered Russia to lift the blockade it would get nowhere. Russia would merely ignore it. For time, the British also lean- ed toward French apeasement. But Marshall was adamant. Politely firmly, he made it clear that the United States was committed to staying in Berlin. It we got out Berlin, we would soon be out of Germany.
 With the United otates spending billions on European recovery, it was important to remember that if the Allies pulled out of Ger many there would be no recovery. Thus ran Marshalls argument. In the end, the French agreed.
 Note Foreign Minister Schu- mans chief trouble is that the Communists have skillfully spread the idea that the Marshall Plan is merely an instrument to prepare for war with Russia America will fight until the last drop of French blood" the Communists are preach ing. U. s. propaganda to explain the motives of the Marshall EPlan has not been able to combat this.

DRIVE FOR BOY
 SCOUT FUND 10.
 START WEDNESDAY,

f Alaska Council President Charles e. Burdick urges Juneau and Doug las residents to participate fully in the annual Boy Scout campaign for funds, scheduled to kick off Wednes- day morning. Burdick, Assistant Re
 gional Forester for Alaska, empha-
 sized the tremendous development in Alaska scouting during the brief three years of the councils history. "The Boy Scout program is fast
 becoming available to every boy
 whose family make their home in the Territory" the President said. The Alaska Council has cub packs, scout troops, and senior units in every incorporated town of 800 or more. In addition we have Native Indian troops at Fort Yukon, all- Eskimo troops at Point Barrow and Nunapitsinghak, scouting at Nome and Kodiak, with the newest addi-
 ton to the family being a troop in the Aleutians at Adak. We have had a troop at Unalaska for several years now.
 The President went on to say that
 the Alaska Council membership is
 nearly 1900 now. Surveys indicate
 that approximately 5000 Toys in Alaska are of scout age, between 9 and IT. It is the goal of the Alaska Council eventually to establish
 program of scouting which will reach at least 4,OO0 of these boys. In order to accomplish this, the Council must receive financial sup h port from the people who make their homes in the Territory, the President emphasized, since the council receives no remuneration from the Government or from out
 side sources. Response of Alaskans to the $40,00O annual budget set for this year have been highly grat- lifying to scout officials. Burdick said, with over $30000 of the amount raised to date. Juneau is | the only one of the major cities that has not completed it's cam paign, but several smaller towns
 have drives scheduled for this month and next, inc u d ng Petersburg
 Wrangell, Cordova, Sew ard, and
 Nome. Success of the major drive
 in Juneau this week will guarantee lthe operating program for next year

Add another 5 billion for lend-lease military aid, plus l2 billion for our own military establishment plus billion for interest on the national debt plus 4 billion for veterans bene- fits and you get the grand total of 3l billion dollars
 This is all before any money is appropriated for the normal func- tions of government.
 While the program is being kept hush-hush until after the election top Pentagon officials have been holding informal conversations with Dewey advisers via Fredinand Eber- stadt, the Wall Street banker some times mentioned as Dewey's Secre- tary of National Defense.
 EVEN DEWEY SLIPS
 
 Tom Dewey is a cool, shrewd campaigner, but even he makes occasional slips. However, few o1 his trip-ups hit the newspapers though every time President Tru- man sticks his foot in his mouth it is sure-fire front-page news. Arriving on the Colorado border the other day at the little towr of Julesburg, Dewey got off on the wrong foot by telling how happy he was to be welcomed again "bJ the people of Denver"
