Letter on National

Editor: noted with interest the
letter over the name Of Alvin Han
non, commander of Attacks Brooks
post, American Legion. st. Paul.
This Is the first time in my
career I have ever been called n
liar and had my accusers gracious
ly prove that | was telling the
truth. Because Of the personalities
INDUCED in, I would ignore the mis-
siye were II not for the fact that
some points were raised that might
need Qualification therefore, this
answer.
Pssry stated: That Attueks
Brooks withdrew and ceased to CO.
operate with the committee. At
tueks Brooks did cease TO cooperate
with the committee, following n
meeting late In August or early in
September when their efforts failed
to disrupt the committee. Note
dates used by Harmon. ALVIN Han
non was not invited TO attend n
single meeting" The committee
requested each post to send at least
two representatives. II Alvin Han
non was not chosen by his own
organization the committee was
powerless to choose him had they
so desired. Harmon should settle
that with his post. "Peery stated
that q committee went before Gov
ernor IOungdahl and accused state
officials Of insincerity" mote this
statement closely. The facts are
that the sincerity Of Governor
Youngdahl and other state officials
except General Walsh have never
been questioned"
You admit that you questioned
the sincerity Of Adiutant General
Walsh. The average sixth grader
in grammar school will probably
tell you that the AdjutAnt General
Is q state official, and the sixth
grader will be right. We stand by
our statement that members Of At
tucks Brooks post went before the
Governor and questioned the sin
certify Of state officials.
You follow with q statement
about what General Walsh did in
1904. Neither the committee nor
myself are interested in what Cen
sral Walsh did seven years ago.
We are vitality interested In what
General Walsh does in 1913. how
ever, VIC do not think Il fair to
attack the General at the expense
Of . program designed to help the

Dear Joe
By JAMES L. HICKS

The colored veteran sat on a
bench In Lafayette Park across
Pennsylvania Avenue from the
White House and shivered in ths
cold.
He had fought a losing battle IN
l947 and was wondering what Il
do about II in l94s.
He had waded into Operation

termination he had shown in Italy
when he helped crack the Gothic
line but II proved a little tougher
His heavy artillery. the CT Bill
was still a good weapon but the
opposition was finding 80 many
ways of>getting around II. His bat.
tie lines were still intact on this
front but there was too much In
filtration through legal loopholes.
And his government was still
backing him up with money for
education. on-thc- job training, bust,
ness ventures, and loans for decent
housing. But racial segregation
and discrimination were keeping
him out Of the better and moro con.
vcnisnt schools, a lack Of "bank
credit" limited his business ven.
lures, discrimination In trade uR'
ions barred him from the better

covenants kept him living in q

FIRE DESTROYS MARSH HOME

A fire of unknown origin broke out in the Arthur Marsh home during the early morning hours last Friday, totally destroying the house. MT. Marsh, who was sleeping, aWoke in time only to save clothes and some bedding.
 He said the entire basement was in flames when he awaken ed, and that he was uncertain how it started. He feels that an oil water heater may have been the origin of the fire.
 MT. Marsh was alone, and was unable to report the fire, or even attempt to fight the blaze. The home is about a mile and a half from Palmer, and the telephone exchange was closed for the night when the fire was dis covered.
 MT. Marsh said his loss was covered by insurance, and that he planned to rebuild in the spring. His family is spending the winter Outside.

TWO FINED, THIRD ASKS JURY TRIAL.

Several game law violators were paying the penalty last week and this, as the result of illegal shooting and possession of moose and sheep. Two men, John Shoganoff and Jack Corey, were sentenced by U. s. Commis- sioner Walter Huntley last week.
 Shoganoff was fined $500 and given 90 days in jail upon con- viction of charges of illegal transportation and possession of a COW moose.
 Jack Corey of Chickaloon was given a fine of SITS for illegal transportation and possession of game.
 A third man, Ray Grasser of Chickaloon, requested jury trial which was calendared for late Monday afternoon. He is charged with the allaged transportation with the alleged transportation and possession of illegal moose.
 It is reported that there is a gang of game law violators oper- ating in this area, which was at tempting to fill an order for four tons of moose meat. It is believ- ed that this gang is allied with the men who were apprehended at the gates of Fort Richardson last year, and found to be trans porting 16 quarters of illegal moose.

Representatives of labor and management of the JoneSville mine sat down with U. s. Com missioner Walter E.

 Tom Mcfarland, mine super intendent, and James Stevens, mine worker, made up the board of arbitration with Mir. Huntley.
 There was no question of a strike concerning the points of difference, MT. Huntley pointed
