Not Much Help for Alaska's Statehood Pleas
Seattle Daily Times

Seattle Daily Times
 Seattle for the most part has favored the ad- mission of Alaska as a State and is disposed, cer- tainv to support that cause if Aaskans themselves desire it. There are persuasive arguments on both sides of the controversy and in Seattle the merit oi both points of view this question can be recognized
 Not among these however some of the con- tentons being advanced in behalf of statehood by one of it's most ardent advocates, Territorial Gov Ernest Cruening In San Francisco recently, Gov ernor Gruenng made this remark Alaska, With one fifth of the area of the United States would have received 300 million dollars in the last 25 years for Federal highways if she'd been State
 There are good and sufficient reasons, many be- eve for granting statehood the northern Territory but this one is sheer bunk If Alaska had been State for the past 25 years and if it had been eligible to receive Federal highway aid the same pass as oIhel States it s impossible suppose that the sum could ever have amounted to 300 million dollars To receive Where that much money would have come from Tn to match it dollar for dollar from it's own treasury Where that much money wold hace come rom III Territory that in the best of times has been parey able to keep it's institutions going and often ca not pay their bills IS something uo'erhoi oiaeiie does not point out
 As matter of fact, very few of the States ever be most nrosperous ones have been able to make 1ul use of the Federal aid to which they are emitted The Congress three years ago appropriated ooo mioi dollars year for three years for this purpose ony four of the States of which Washington has the dis tnction of being one have been able to make, ol schedule full use of their Federal-aid highway aot- ments
 The other A States have not been able to pro vide the required matching funds or have not sup r,it+od +be kind of road programs the highway act stimulates If settled States have not been ape to take full advantages of their Federal aid' It h to suppose that Alaska, with its undeVei- oped economy and impoverished financial strN'ufe would have been able to do SO
 Governor Gruenlngs vigorous spokesmahsIiip loi the Territory he heads is commendable enough But this kind of spacious reasoning from him or any other source is no service to the of Alaskan statehooo

OPEN DOORS

The Soviet and American Governments m an eA- change of formal notes which are not without huhor have assured each other that the door always open for discussion and settlement of outstanding di1er- ences They also have assured each other that Cher established foreign policies will not be changed come what may In a word, they have agreed dn the ao- strac to meet and discuss differences but are resolved mt to alter the policies which are so profoundly m conflict.
 On it's face this exchange of solemn assurances must be taken as an intellectual exercise and not as the beginning of chapter ln Russlah-Ahericaii relations It may, however have some useIulhess pe- cause of the frankness of the American note. Our government specifically declared that presidential ei ections are not going to affect our foreign pohcy And this is borne out by the behavior of both major parties and all candidates
 The American Government also laid stress on US o.sortior that an economic crisis will not touch our industrial capacity. For industrial capaclty on may read war potential" to clarify the sentence)
 This may not entirely dsabuse the Russian mho' ubich is welded to the notion that capitalist na- ton moves from paralyzng crisis to another anu

cannot go many years without a runous economic depression at least Soviet leaders will know that we see clearly the pattern of their thinking They will know that we of the possible frailtles of capitalist economy and a democratic political system and are taking pains to compensate for those handicaps.
 For number of years to come the chance for peace will not hinge on a meeting of minds, between Washington and Moscow and a full adjustment of the differences which have strained Russo American relations The maintenance of peace will depend on Soviet respect for the strength of the United States and the readiness of the American Government to use that strength if necessary

FOLK WAS A BATTLER

George Polk was a tlghter, whether as newspaperman or in the service of his country. During the war as a Navy pilot he was in the thick oi the battle of Guadalcanal, broke his back in a crash landing, came home to fight for unifica- ton of the Army and Navy,
 One of the things that griped him was his memory of an Army pilot sinking. in the water with the Navy refusing to rescue him until it cleared with the Army.
 In Greece, George fought the grafters and the rightwing extrem- ists. An article in Harper's Mag szine told a revealing story. In writing to me, he told how reaction aries in the Government sought to discredit American newsmen who were critical. Apparently he had some premonition of trouble, for he said: The rightwing is trying to get a number of us discredited or removed from Greece"
 -Royalist 'Ethmos' has denounced irresponsible correspondents who write 'unfavorable and misleading stories about the Greek Govern ment," George continued
 "The attack upon correspondents is being made by the Royalist poli- tical group known as the Popu- list Party Underleadership of Deputy Prime Minister and For eign Minister Constantine Tsal- daris, key Populist members throughout the Government appear to be implementing carefully de- yised offensive.

ASSAULT AID BATTERY

Otis Price was arrested by Deputy U. s. Marshal Sid Thomp- son yesterday afternoon at the Price home on the Glacier High way and lodged in the Federal Jail on a charge of assault and battery on complaint of his wife, Isobel Price was arraigned before U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray who set bond at $1 LOGO. Trial has been held up pending an investigation by the District Attorney.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-05-20

Poor George didn't know, when he wrote those prophetic lines, that he was to be the man who would get hurt" His murder, however, may be the cause celebre which will bring to the surface the ugly scandals of Greece-scandals which the American people very much need to know about. To that end, this column will soon publish fur ther revelations regarding dyna- mite laden Greece.

GREEK AMBASSADOR
 CPITICIZES

As an illustration of the method of attack, consider letter concern ing me written by Greek Am bassador Vassili Dendramis, an ul- tra Iightist supporter of the Tsal- daris clique. Strangely enough, Dendramis wrote to CBS President Frank Stanton complaining about my article on Greece in the De- cember 'Harper's Magazine. Den dramis is smart enough not to write to 'Harper's' because he knows the magazine probably would publish the letter, thereby enabl-

WILL GET HURT


 John O'Donoyan, of the London Observer, is sharing Bigart's treatment Two other reporters, Stephen Barber of the London News Chronicle and his wife, Mary Barber, of Time Magazine, recently encountered little more effective rightwing retaliation. At 1oannina they were prevented for sometime from proceeding to Kon- itsa because of-and this charge was made to them in person-be- ing Communists.
 Another correspondent who has encounteded news gathering troub- les is Fred Sparks. of the Chicago Daily News In fact, Sparks has written a bitter story about his experiences at being denied routine press privileges while trying to cover the Konitsa battle.
 The pattern of the rightwing's attack on the other American cor respondents here is clever-public denunciation plus official obfusca- ton. There is nothing so tangible as censorship or blunt refusal to allow a reporter to visit the civil war areas; instead there is clever plan of making news work in Greece as difficult as possible for critical correspondents.
 Tn addition, now that so many correspondents are writing such critical stories on the dominant rightwing faction of the Govern ment. there are number of vague hints that somebody is likely to get hurt

ing me to answer his charges in print.
 However, my case up to the present is rather mild compared with the attack being made against other out-spoken reporters on the scene. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just written to the Christian Science Monitor com blaming that their correspondent in Greece, Constantine Argyris, IS guilty of using offensive language in dealing with Greek Government officials, and also is guilty of drunkenness at interviews. Know ing Argyris as well as I do-and having the highest respect for his professional ard personal attri- butes-I know this charge to be a lie
 Another correspondent who has drawn Greek rightwing fire is Ray Daniell of the New York Times. He arrived in Greece unaccompan- jed by his wife and when his articles proved displeasing for the rightwing politicians, they spread malicious islander about Daniell.
 Yet another reporter who had provoked the Greek rightwing is Homer Bigart, of the New York Herald Tribune At the moment being a newcomer in Greece, Big art is getting the treatment that others of us already have had. In particular he is being denounced by name as a Communist; he is being ridiculed for looking at things upside down; he is being refused interviews by persons he needs to see for news purposes such as Foreign Minister Tsal- daris. The New York Heralo Tribune has been denounced by Royalist 'Embros' for bad faith il publishing untruths.'
