THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
By Hazel Brannon


States Rights ticket have no
reason to be ashamed.
The States Rights party was
formed to safeguard the constr
tuition of the United States and
the form of government set up
by that constitution.
It's purpose, that of preserving
the constitution and our present
form Of government, is just as
important today as it was dur
ing the election.
Whether the national Democratic
party admits it or not there are
influences at work here in this
country to undermine our form
of government by making our
people feel that it has failed to
provide what they need; there
are influences working to make
our people lose confidence in the
American form Of government
and the American way of doing
things.
Throwing overheard the consti-
tuition is a step always taken in
the establishment of dictator
ship. Everywhere the world over
as absolute relationships gain con-
troll, the police powers of state
are first taken over, a highly CEN
tralized form of government es-
tablished.
No country can remain great
and strong if it is festered within
by graft, corruption, not even the
United States.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's alleged
announcement that Dixicrats
should not be allowed back in
the Democratic party and should
not be given any committee
Craftsmanship of committees is
absurd.
Mr.. Truman doesn't even have
to be smart politician to figure
out that if he is to make any kind
of record as president at all, ne
is going to have to be able to get
much support from the southern
members of the congress.
AS things now stand the Demo
Gratis have 54 senators to AZ for
the Republicans. Take the sup
port of the southern senators.
all counted as Democrats, away
from him and he won't even have
a working majority in the Senate.
In the House where the Demo
Gratis have some 261 members
about 100 of these hail from the
South. If only half of them join a
coalition with the Republicans
the administration will have very
tough Shedding in trying to get
its legislative program enacted or
repealed, as the case may be.
Mr.. Truman would be cutting
off his nose to spite his face If
he did not seek the support OF the
States Rights Democrats.
The loud cry about patronage
put up by Truman forces in
Mississippi headed by our good
friend Phillip "Moon" Mullen up
at Oxford is downright funny.
Moon, in talking about taking
over the Patronage" in Missis-
sippi you and your Truman elect
ors are doing just about as much
good as you would to stand out
on one of those lonely hills a
round Oxford some Nov. night
and bay loudly at the moon. It
would do just about as much
good.
Patronage is usually accorded
on results, votes delivered.
On the basis of the election re-
turns in Mississippi there is not
much room for Mr.. Truman to
feel that he owes anything to
anything to anybody in Missis-
sippi. He had the same chance
on the ball as did the States
Fighters, but his showing was -
well, you know.
You folks certainly didn't get
him many votes, er

Publishing Newspaper Is Easy

(Mathias P Harpin in Rhode Island Pilot
 Its easy to publish a newspaper. You never get tired You never need vacation Your head is always clear You're always bright silver dollar. Everybody writes beautiful letters telling you what a nice paper you have. Everybody phones in news. You have any trouble getting paper Everybody pays you on time. You never have to remind people and again that their subscription is due. If you're late paying bill, they say it's all right, let it go You make people mad at something you have written haven't written.
 Your proofreaders makes mistake. The front page always looks nice The ads always eye catching You just sit at your typewriter and write beautiful lines.
 People never say your paper is political They never insist you're taking sides. They always agree that you're independent
 Everywhere you hear people say you're a good guy. They always say you work hard. The waste baskets never fill up nobody has to empty them. The pressman never needs helping hand to slip a new roll of paper into the press Rolls of paper you receive are not torn and you don't get any waste. Your mail galley gets pied People never think of asking you for that entirely out of your reach After every issue advertisers call up and say Say that was honey of ad you wrote for me last week Thanksl' If advertiser gives you copy announcing weekend special, it's always sunny that weekend and very and the buses are sure to run on time.
 You always have plenty of time to spend with the family Your little boy asks Mama have really got Daddy?' Never do you place an ad upside down. When you msspell persons name he calls up and says, Forget it. It's all right On it's wonderful to be newspaper publisher. It's so easy So simpler

SETTLE THE STRIKE

After three and one half days of listening to and reading about the hearing before Examiner Melton Boyd of the case of the Juneau Spruce Corporation against the International Longshoremens and Ware housemen's Union one wonders at the power of 2o Ioneshore Union members to restrain the operation of a business such as the Juneau Spruce.
 The mill is able to operate under normal conditions would work two shifts employing approxi- matelv 200 people instead of shift as at present with half as many employees.
 A two-shft operation is impractical when as a result of picket line, the Juneau Spruce IS unable to send it's lumber on its equipment beyond the hort of Juneau If it does, it's experience at Prince Rupert will be repeated. There longshoremen refused to unload the Juneau Spruce lumber because 1t had been loaded on a Juneau Spruce barge by mill em- ployees instead of by longshoremen.
 The strike, everyone in Juneau no doubt knoWs' is caused by the ongshoreen insisting upon deslgnat ing the members their closed union to work instead of permitting the employer to hire whomsoever he peases regardless of union utilization.
 The Labor Management Act has as its paslc eauarntee the right to employ anyone the employer wishes.
 What is right wrong in this case, the Natlonal Labor Relations Board will decide. It will have plenty of evidence from the Juneau Spruce and re-

EMPIRE CHAPTERS REACH WASHINGTON OVER ALCAN ROAD

John Guernsey and Ernie Jacob sen, former members of the Empire staff, who left Juneau September 3 for Skagway to hike over the Dyea Trail to Whitehorse and then hit the Alcan highway to tEe states, reached South Bend, Wash, Sep tember 21, according to letter re- ceived here.
 Well, We made it, much to the surprise of ourselves and everyone else,' writes Jacobsen.
 The two boys were five and one half days from Skagway to White horse. The first three days it rain ed ike -. We stayed one night in Whitehorse and then started down the highway" says the letter writer.
 We rode on tops of trucks for some time until we got to Fort Nelson, and there Ee met two girls from North Carolina who picked us up and brought us all the way to South Bend. Really turned out to be a picnic. We got in last night and the girls are leaving today.
 We got to see lot of sheep and goats on the way over the pass and after we reached the other side we ran into few bears, moose, two caribou, couple of wolves and lots of small game.
 "The small game went untouched due to the fact that when we went across the border at White Pass, the Canadian authorities or customs took our .22 away from us so we made the whole trip without gun until the girls picked us up. They had an old double barrel shot gun that both were afraid to shoot, so coming down the highway we man. aged to knock off four or five grouse each day that really went very nice for supper and breakfast. We did some of our cooking out side on the way down and one F of time looking for hay stacks to sleep in. Sure didn't have much trouble finding them in Canada, or again in Montana, Idaho or Eastern Washington.
 Jacobsen says the trip was a grand one but that now it is over he is sorry he ever left Juneau and in- tends to come back about Novem- Der l.

 Admiral Denfeld, who has known Leahy all his life, demurred.
 T suppose Secretary Forrestal has been telling you that I have two votes in the joint chiefs Of staff-mine and Leahy's," he said. But just look at the record. You'll lind Leahy voted against me most of the time"
 Hes gotten too reactionary, v countered the President. He and George Marshall are hardly on speaking terms. Everything Mar shall proposes, Leahy tears to pieces. Clark Clifford tells me the public reaction to him is bad
 Denfeld replied that he didn't see how he could possibly ask Admiral Leahy to retire.

Stability of This Industry
September Pulp and Paper)

September Pulp and Paper)
 It may a bit of shock to some Wall Streeters and economists whose ideas about the pulp and paper industry haven't changed much since the socalled pre-war print crash to learn that Alaska industry is now based upon 54-year con- tract which guarantees investors not only con- tinuously adequate timber supply but competitive price for wood delivered to the mill
 We find that there still more highly placed students of industries and national economy who haven't awakened to remarkable stability and long, time planning that characterizes at least the larger units of the modern pulp and paper industry.
 How many other industries based 54 year contract-a contract that will doubt out-live every who signed the contract and probably most the individuals involved investors employees and customers in the proectwhose incomes and jobs thus will be assured them and probably their children.

EX-GHOSTWRITER

Sagacious Judge Sam Rosenman of New York, who used to write speeches for both Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman, gave private diagnosis of Truman's campaign talks the other day that would have delighted the ears of Dewey forces.
 Chatting with a close friend, Rosenman declared: T don't know who is writing this stuff the Pres ident has been delivering from the platform, but it will lose him more votes than he will win.
 Tn my opinion, the President is harping on that Wall Street-again- st-the- farmer and capital-against- labor theme too heavy. That type of appeal doesn't register any more except maybe with the Wal laceites. The farmers are too well off this year to be. frightened by Wall Street"
 | Judge Rosenman said he would have been glad to have offered his advice on Truman's speeches, flor whatever it was worth" but added : that some people around the Pres ident apparently think I am bad influence"
 l Rosenman didn't mention any names, but it was jealous Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder who euchred Rosenman from riding or the Presidents train.

sational revelations on Russia's s atomic spy ring in Canada.
 Gouzenko, however, is living un- der another name on Canadian farm closely guarded by the Can adian government, which doesn't trust headline hunting American Congressmen to keep his idenity secret.
 Once the committee almost got to Gouzenko, but upset its own applecart. Arrangements had been made with Prime Minister Mac kenzie King, who agreed to meet committee members secretly in Ottawa for further discussions.
 Cmgressmen John McDowell of Pennsylvania, Richard Nixon of California and Ed Hebert of Louis jana set out in strictest secrecy. They even left separately and took different routes to the railroad station to throw off suspicion.
 But when the three Congress men reached New York they were greeted with glaring headlines re- vealing their plans. A member of the committee had leaked the whole story to the press.
 Since then the committee has got the royal brush-off from the Canadian government.
 Note-What the committee wants to question Gouzenko about is So- viet spies in the United States. It had a tip that Gouzenko knows about two key spies in America who were not mentioned in the Canadian Royal Commissions re- port.

 Admiral Denfeld promised to look into the matter, came back a few days later with the idea that Ad- miral Leahy be appointed U. s. Ambassador to Spain. Jeahy had already served as Ambassador to France and Governor of Puerto Rico, has something of diplomatic background and Truman was de- lighted with the idea. However, he overlooked the fact that we have no diplomatic relations with Spain and have agreed not to appoint an ambassador until the Franco government is recognized by the United Nations.
 This fact was promptly brought to MT. Trumans attention wher he suggested that Leahy become Ambassador to Spain. The State Department was emphatic ant adamant. No Ambassador. it said not even Admiral Leahy. would b. sent to Madrid

RED DESIGNS ON GERMANY

Here is a paraphrase of recent intelligence report which throws light on Russian secret designs re- garding Germany
 Russia will ask withdrawal of all troops from Germany, secretly plans to sent her troops back into Germany a year later It will be easy to find pretext.
 Reason: Russia has stripped all she can get out of her zone of Germany, which was an agricul- tural area in the beginning and lacked the machinery Russia wants.
 Part of Russia's plan to move back into Germany a year after withdrawal includes series of wildcat strikes in America to harass troop movements and dis courage the U. s. from sending troops to assist in restoring or der"-or helping along whatever the Russians use as an excuse to march back into Germany.
