A LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD?

The Ketehikan Daily News doesn't seem to think much of the idea voiced in Anchorage recently by Attorney General Rivers establish Liquor Control Board for Alaska
 IL might be noted that Rivers was also able to insert plank for such board in the platform of the Democratic Party during the recent Alaska convention
 Says the Daily News
 Attorney General Ralph Rivers plans to ask the Iepislature to set up a Liquor Control Board ana administrator ana spend at least $5OO0O year TOT liouor enforcement in Alaska. There already are plenty of laws and plenty of law enforcement ofil- cers without creating any more salared employees. The last Legislature refused to appropriate any more money for the Territorial Liquor Enforcement and went into discard During the several years o1 US existence no report made of one single arrest despite the fact that booeggers continued to thllVe In each incorporated town in Alaska the police have all the laws necessary for enforcement.

 The bill introduced by Senator Knowland requiring FBI investigator of Atomic Energy Commission mem bers might be dismissed merely silly if it not so patent and offensive reflection of the hyserla which attended confirmation of David E. Lilisnthal and his colleagues less than year ago Presidential nominees have perhaps never been closely scrut- nized or so cruey examined as were these men in the course the hearings before the Senate mem bers of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy Their loyalty which could have been ques- toned in the first instance only by such minds as Senator McKellars was proved beyond peradventure. But now in the expectation that they will be renom mated by the President when their short initial terms expire next August Senator Knowland wants the FBI to probe their pasts anewas though their dis
 nguished records of pubic serVlce were to pc con- sidered of no account
 This bill is of course an affront not only to the commission members but to the President well and in addition, as Senator McMahon pointed out, an unwarranted interference with the executive appoint ing power Its most sinister aspect, however, is It's elevation of the FBI to authority which no police agency should enjoy in society supposed to be free If the FBI should produce what 1t deems to be de ga tory information about one Of the commlssloners II is scarcely to be supposed chat it would reveal the so,rce of it's information to mere members N the Senate any more than it would do so to members of the Loyalty Review Board It's simple dispara8einent would thus be made tantamount to disqualification even of men nominated by the President of the United States.
 If the security of the country really requires Fbi tion-which in the circumstances, IS to say apnrova-of persons chosen to direct the development of atomic energy then plainly it requires +Bl nVest- pstion of the person chosen direct the Army or te countrys foreign policy-indeed of every menipet oi the Cabinet and of the President himself hAo' "ieii ~ come t think of it. can the country afford to take for granted the loyalty of the men appointed to tne Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy m c,ud,np even Senator Knowland? But when the F6l has at last investigated and cleared these oeiao ' nae "o tr,s "S security will still not be complete. For
 ho then is to investigate and establish the loyalty of the investigators?

FBI PROMOTION

The Senate hearings on Edward Tamm, No G-Man, now elevated to a judgeship, Illustrates the diff culty J. Edgar Hoover has had in holding good men in the FBI.
 After spending years training good men, they frequently go on to more lucrative private business. Tamm's promotion to judgeship was an effort to show that reward comes to those who remain faith ful to government service.
 Trained as lawyer, Tamm rose to one of the highest spots in the FB1. Not only as reward but also for the psychological effect on other FBI men, Attorney Gen eral Tom Clark recommended Tamm's appointment as judge in the District of Columbia.
 Now some Senators protest.

 Prague was a glanlorous place i'll those days and Czechoslovakia was considered the bright star of Eu- rope. It was one of the new re- publics born of the war of which great things was expected.
 Benes and Thomas Masaryk. ex- lies in the United States from Austro- Hungarian rule, had sat down in Pittsburgh with copies of Woodrow Wilson's speeches and on the basis of those speeches they had written the magma charta Of their new country. When they took it to Wilson, naturally he gave his enthusiastic blessing.
 But Benes and Masaryk meant what they said. And during those first years after World War l, their vigorous republic lived up to their hopes and dreams. Masaryk dead now and his son, the pres ent Foreign Minister of Czechoslo- vakia, is virtual prisoner in Prague.
 Benes now is old, but when I saw him in Prague twenty-five years ago, he was young and full of hope. His hope was for a cF E1,aYn1No idpQ which, if then carried out, might have prevented World War II and the backwash of Communism that followed
 But what I remember most about that talk with Benes was his ref erence to Russia. His country, he said, was next door to Russia and had to work with Russia. They were cooperating well together.
 In the years that followed, Benes continued to try to work with Russia. But as he sits almost alone in his Presidential palace, he must now realize how impossible that is.
 For cooperation has to be two- way street. And the biggest thing Henry Wallace and the other we'll meaning people around him have to learn is that working with Rus sia leads down a one-way non- cooperative street sure to end in a blind-alley dogfight

VIENNA, Mar. 10.-A 19-year-old
Austrian girl, her face still swollen
from the blow of a Russian gun
butt, said today she underwent
grueling questioning by the Rus
slams after her American compan-
ion was shot in the back by Soviet
sentry.
Red-haired Elfriede Elias said she
was seized by the Russians while
trying to give first aid to Pfc. Jack
Grunden, 1S, Of Portland, Greg, the
unarmed American who was beaten
and shot in scuffle with Russian
soldiers Sunday night.
She said she was taken through
a back door of the Russian-occu-
pied Grand Hotel and driven to
Russian headquarters. There, she
said. she was questioned three times
by Russian officers before being re-
leased Monday night.
Miss Elias said she had signed a
statement dictated by the Russians,
and was warned:
IF you tell another story to the
Americans later on, we will find
you, wherever you are, and then you
will see what happens to you."
Story Confirmed by Soldier.
Her story of the incident, as told
to the Associated Press, has been
confirmed by Pvt. Grunden, now
recovering in the 10th Station Hos
pital. This is her version: .
Three American soldiers were
walking with their Austrian girl
friends along the sidewalk of the
parkway bordering the Grand
Hotel. Pfc. Joseph Harper and his
girl were leading. Following at some
distance were Pvt Samuel Adelman
Of Baltimore and his girl. Pvt
Grunden and Miss Elias were some
80 yards behind.
A Russian soldier, apparently of
duty. ordered Pvt. Adelman off the
sidewalk into the gutter. Pvt
Grunden saw the argument and
rushed up. At the same time a
Russian sentry rushed over from the
front of the hotel.
The sentry attempted to hit Pvt.
Adelman in the groin with the butt
of his rife. Pvt. Grunden tried to
Wrest the weapon away. Pvt. Grun-
den was struck on the head with
the gun and knocked to his hands
and knees. The Russian then shot
him in the back.
Pvt. Harper and his girl raced
to the American-occupied Bristol
Hotel and called for the interna-
tional military police patrol and an
ambulance. When police arrived,

The case which will decide the
issue revolves around Earl Hilton, a
Charleston Is. c. nonveteran Navy
Yard employe, who lost his job
last year after Is years of Govern
ment service. Mr.. Hilton contends
veteran employees with less years of
service than he should have been
dismissed instead.
The United States Court Of Ap-
peals here upheld the Civil Service
Commissions contention that the
dismissal was justified under the
Veterans Preference Act. Mr.. Hilton
then appealed to the Supreme Court,
which agreed to decide the issue.
Charles Fahy, former Solicitor Gen.
eral, is representing Mr.. Hilton in
the case.
PAY CONTROVERSIES Sen
ate Civil Service Committee is re-
ported to be working on a COM
promise Federal pay bill which
would grant increases averaging
about $5l7 to all Government ems
ployes.
Chairman LANCER Is said to be
willing to compromise on his orig
inal $1,000 pay measure to ex-
pedite action on the bill. Work on
redrafting the bill began yester-
day and the raises would be in
corporated into . revision of the
Classification Act.
Incidentally, the various postal
employees unions are asking Sen
ator LANCER to include their pay
increases in a separate bill. At
present all pay increases are in
cluded in the one bill before the
committee.
The committee will meet again
tomorrow. Sponsors Of the mea-
sure hope that agreement may be
reached then.
SUMMARY DISMISSALS - The
American Civil Liberties Union has
Joined in the criticism of the House

legislation. which would give all
Federal agencies the power to fire
employees summarily.

called the committees action "un-
warranted and unjustifiable," de-
claring it threatens to revolutionize
the entire civil service system"
Mr.. Baldwin called on the House

when it comes up on the House
floor. Under the committees pro-
visions, any department or agency
could summarily fire an employe

It has written a letter to Chairman
LANCER Of the Senate Civil Service
Committee asking the committee to
strike out the provision when 1t
reaches the Senate.
