Maritime COnnis. Report On Boring Sea Lighterage

The U. s. Maritime Commis- sion in Washington D.C.. last week issued a report and order at the conclusion of the investigation of lighterage rates and practices in Boring Sea.
 In its report the Commission found that the net income of the Lomen Commercial Company's lighterage department in 1946 was in excess of what a fair return would justify The Commission all so found illegal the company's practice of charging for lighterage service according to certain per centages of the Alaska Steamship Company's rates from Seattle.
 The fair value of the Lomen Commercial Company property for rate making purposes was found by the Commission to be $250,000 including working cap ital and a fair rate of return ' percent. The lighterage operating costs were found to be reasonable but the Commission reduced the amount of administrative expense which could be charged to the lighterage department for rate making pllrposes
 The Commission also found that the company violated the pro- visions of its Storage Tariff by allowing freight to remain with out charge on the dock in excess of the free storage time. |,
 The Commission ordered the company to correct its practices by May IS. "To the extent that Lomen's rates, fares, and charges

Alaska Airnan
 Makes Skis For . Emergency Trip

EDMONTON, Alberta, -(P)- The story of an Alaskan airman who fashioned for his airplane a pair of skis to accomplish a take-off from the northern lake on which he had been forced to land was told today by R.C.A.F officials.
 Northwest Air Command Fri day reported overdue Miles Van dergrift of Naknek. Alaska, who had taken off Thursday for his northern hometown in a light plane, intending to fly over the Alaska highway. Vandergrift was unreported for almost four days until Monday when he flew into Grande Prairie, his originally scheduled first stop.
 Vandergrift said bad weather forced him down on a lake 40 miles to the southeast. The frozen surface became slushy under the weather changes and he felt a wheeled take1off on the changed strip" would be impossible.
 Taking blanks from a trapper's cabin he had used as shelter he made a pair of serviceable skis, fastened them to the plane and with cleared skies scared aloft.
 He said he had seen several of the R.C.A.F.s' low flying swoops, assumed they were look ing for him.
 He expects to resume his flight to Naknek today.

CATHOLIC JOURNAL RAPS ANA STAND :.

as the nations health exceeds the powers
of individual or group action, Intervention
bv the government becomes not merely
justified but morally imperative.
Opinion Called Incorrigible
''It is the incorrigibe opinion of the Amer
lean Medical Association, on the contrary
that the nations health concerns merely the
sick man and his doctor-provided he can
afford one. On the findings of the associa-
ton itself half the families of America can
not met the expenses of a serious illness on
the fee-for-service system now prevailing.
Yet they stubbornly oppose the adoption of
compulsory health insurance to put medical
services within the reach of half the families
of America.
"The program of public health insurance
which Congress will be asked to consider will
undoubtedly be a controversial measure.
The bill will demand careful scrutiny to make
sure that pOlicy-making and administration
are preserved in professional hands, that de-
Capitalization is maintained that voluntary
cooperative health-insurance plans are pro-
tected and encouraged while universal cover
age is achieved
There will be need of open, informed dis
cussion of the notwithstanding from the
verdict of the Christian conscience that the
nations health falls within the scope of the
governments proper sphere.
"Such a debate is democracy acting re-
sponsiby"
No enthusiast for federal health insurance
could ask for a more considered statement
of the issues The America editorial puts
the ANA in proper perspective, with respects
to the rights and goals of the general popu-
lation. Medicine must be, as it always has
been, the servant of the people. It's polite
ally minded practitioners-repr am

medical profession, cannot assume the role

Why the Secrecy?

When all the charges and counter charges
in the Chambers Pumpkin Spy" case are
boiled down, at least two things stand out
that must be clarified
In the first place, Whitaker Chambers,
by his own admission, is guilty of being an
accomplice in removing allegedly top sec
ret papers from the Department of State.
Likewise although he reformed" before the
war, almost ten years elapsed before he saw
tit to reveal possession of the state docu-
mentS I'm inclined to believe he may be
subject to federal Indictment on at least two
felony counts.
Secondly-and considerably more import
ant than the future of one ex-TIME editor
is the reluctance of state department officials
to reveal the contents of most of the docu-
ments to the American people, even though
at least one foreign power is supposed to be
IN the know, as to their contents Why this
reluctance? There appear only two con-
clusons that can be drawn / Either the
Mundt-Nixon-Chambe affair is more sensa-
tlonal than factual, or, 2. the revelation of
the contents of these documents might prove
most embarrassing to the department.
L am inclined to discount the first content
uon because Of certain relevant facts that
nave leaked out of the federal grand Jury
proceedings These facts. provide ample
basis for embarrassment of the Swallow
tailed gentry of the State department.
From these leaks it appears that Soviet
Russia was not the only power involved The
State department 1889 prototypes of the
present undersecretary, Lovett, were playing
both ends against the middle. That is, while
counsehng the Russians to be firm with Hit
ier they were on the quiet, also playing a
little ball with the nazis Some of the documents in
question have notations indicating that copies had
been turned over to the naz ambassador for perusa
Even at this late hour when daily being
couraged to pity the poor Germans, and to hate the
RUSSIANS full publication of these documents for the
pubhc to study might well embarrass the State De-
partment-the people have not forgotten the mass
Since the documents apparently cannot longer he
top secret" far as foreign powers are
concerned, can see earthly reason why their con-
ens cannot be revealed to the American public-that
s. unless publication should prove that our State De-
'artment had been guilty of the grossest kind of in
ernatona chlcanery prior to Pearl Harbor.
The people's voice., 1948-12-17

Likewise, had the public been ''in'' on the
August Is decision, the commission would
have learned that: CD in the cases of people
who had converted from oil or coal to cleo
tricity for heating, that each home owner had
spent an average of S400 to make the conver-
sion; (2) in the cases of some new electrical
ly-heated homes, no other heating facilities
had been Incorporated into the design and
construction. In the first instant, some of
these home owners may now be faced with
an additional outlay of near thousand dol
lars to re-cOnvert. In the second, the COM
mission would have learned that in some
cases because of financial inability to pay the
higher heating costs, the home owners will
be faced with expensive re-design and re-
modelling jobs.
The commission, had it held public hear
ing in August, would have also learned that
the various home owners had been encour-
aged to go ahead with installation Of electric
heating units by local Montana Power Off
cials who told them the company was in busi-
ness to sell all the Juice it could to all avail
able customers.
But, because no public hearing was held
only the arguments of one side were heard;
considerable ill-feeling toward the commits
sion now exists and, more important still, the
very essence of democracy in action was
trampled on.
The making mandatory of all requests for
rate changes plus the appropriation Of ade-
quate investigatory funds for the commission
will in no wise tamper with the legitimate
rights of the utilities, and will give the people
of Montana a fighting chance for a square
deal rates, whether for power, freight
telephone, or other utility services.
