The IheOcrat

we had the splendid fellow
ship of a few "born-again"
ones. Truly there is a tie that
binds our hearts in Christian
love. Our hearts were sadden-
ed as we heard from some,
words undermining the truth
fulness and inspiration of the
Scriptures.
One of the greatest bless
ings we received was on last
Tuesday when we drove over
to the Hopi and Navajo Indian
Reservations to visit the Nava-
jo Gospel Mission. This requir-
ed a journey of about ninety
miles from a paved highway,
located about 1856 miles from
the nearest white" village-a
very remote area, and a very
trying journey. Before visit
ing that Mission compound, we
journeyed II miles to the east
to visit in the Hoppi Reserva-
ton. We were amazed at the
precarious location of the Hopi
villages, which are located on
the skyline ridge of rocky cliffs
and mesas, hardly distinguish
able from the rock itself.
Returning to Oraibi, a small
Hopi village, we turned north
following a very difficult trail
for 1412 miles, over rocky,
sandy, winding roads to the
Navajo Gospel Mission. Here,
Mr.. Berlyn Stokely, who has
been laboring for about TWEEN
ty years in this region, took
Mrs. Barton and me around
their fine compound, where
they served the neglected In
dians in a spiritual and mate
rial way, and from which they
and native workers go out into
the field to give forth Gods
Word. After having seen and
heard of the conditions of these
American Indians, our conclu-
sions were that they have been

RAFFLES-THEY'RE ILLEGAL

Many times articles submitted to The Empire, or reporters bring in stories about raffles and are fatly told that publishing of such stories Is illegal The why's and ors are immediately asked and we have to reply its against the postal regulations.
 Very recently the Cincinnati Enquirer commented on this phase of government censorship as follows
 The raffe or lottery (the two words almost svnonvmous) season is with again From now until the time of the first frost hospitals, churches, charitable organizations and neighborhood groups will he selling chances on everything from boxes of groceries to super-duper hard-to-get 1948 automobiles. And its all against the awespecialy if sponsors write letters advertising their pet projects sell tickets through the mails
 Post Office inspectors, of course only acting in accordance with the regulations under which they operate when they issue warnings about sending lottery tickets through mails, or finally crack down on ol- lenders but it is sort of silly It's not silly, how ever as the regulation which prohibits newspapers from publishing factual news that raffe IS to De conducted or the factual publication of the names o winners Everybody knows that these affairs are going on all around us so why should newspapers be for bidden to publish factual concerning them?
 Automobiles are placed display in hotel Hobbies with large signs announcing that the car will be awarded to the holder of the lucky ticket at such- and-such lawn fete Thousands of persons see these cars and buy raffle tickets but if newspaper pub Hshes several lines about the affair that newspaper may find it's product barred from the mails. There is many human interest story in the winners of raffle prizes but newspapers can't publish them.
 Rallies andd lotteries aren't the most important things in the news, and newspapers can worry along without referring to them, but they are events which

Washington Post)

Lewis Baxter Schwellenbach never happy ln the assignment Secretary of Labor to which ne was named by his close friend, Harry Truman He ac- ceped it reluctantly he did it with sort of distaste full conscentiousness-an it wore him out. It was tragedy to see the broad -gauged and fine Schween- bach brought low in the prime of life by his burden as the Administrations hatchet man For this IS what Secretary of Labor has become as the result of the habit of dumping grave labor disputes on the Federal Government. Many time Schwelenbach looked back with longing to the serenity of his Federal iudgeship in his native State of Washington Here he had risen above the of his stormy career in the Senate, but the President did not realize it.
 The six-year term that MT, Schwellenbach served in the Senate the turbulent and tumultuous period of the New Deal Schwellenbach made his mark with in six months of his election AS an enthusiastic Rooseveltian he became a thorn in the side of the conservative Senators Always he sprang into the thick of the fight when MT Roosevets bills appeared on the senatorial calendar He at his best in denunciation. He it was who read Al smith, the Democratic Party's happy warrior out of the party Tn Senate speech. He had whitening tongue for other dissdents or as they would have it, pursts There was for instance Huey Long, the Democratic Senator from Louisiana. The Kingfsh described MT Schwel- lenbach as ''the cruellest man in the Senate and dubbed him, weakly, the Schwelenbacher. The name did stick, perhaps because 1t made long name longer
 To the Administration MT schwellenbach brought curious combination of the judicial temperament he had acquired on bench and his proworker par tality from New Deal days. Sometimes he strove to be considered as advocate of everybody who works for living instead of the protector of the work CTS At other times he the judge instead of the go between. time went on and it was realized he was square peg round hole, the President relied for help on labor matters John Steelman, who had been introduced to the presidential circle by secretary Schwellenbach MT Steelman had the suppleness that negotiations need aptitude for saving the Presi dents time and relaxing with him in off moments Yet Mir Schwellenbach stuck loyaly to job which he never wanted and which he would have swapped any day for the Attorney Generaship.

DANGEROUS NEW DEAL

One would have thought, from hearing their orations, that no other problem existed in the world, no Russian squeeze in Berlin, no race to develop atomic energy, no danger of bomb raids over the North Pole-only the deadly danger of the New Deal
 COP orators talked as if they actually and seriously thought the American people would stand for the repeal of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Wage Hour Act, the AAA Farm Act, soil erosion, the Holding Corporation Act, the Social Security Act, old age pensions, rural identification, or the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 They talked as if they didn't realibze that the man whom they nominated to head their ticket had adopted many of these revolution ary" measures in his own state of INcH ioih, VI ao II liicy Niu iOe know their presidential can didate had adopted many of these same ideas in California
 What they honestly didn't seem to realize is that most of the New Deal is too firmly a part of America ever to be given up; that what the American people want is forward leadership, not backward regrets.
 In the humble opinion of your Dad. what the American people are really looking for is security of two kinds. The security they want from war abroad is obvious, though difficult to get. The secur- ity they want at home is easier if the new leaders of the Republi- can party really lead
 That domestic security consists of freedom from imitation, freedom to earn a living wage, freedom to send their children to good schools freedom from want in old age
 And that security will not be ob- tained if people in the lower brackets are not able to buy, or if the recent COP plan to forgive the-rich on taxes is continued, or if the real-estate lobby throttles public housing, or if our long, cherished public-school system plays second fiddle to tax saving
 Those are some of the things which Republican orators, so busy

CRUISER LETITIA,
 YACHT MARGARET
 IN JOINT VOYAGE

Cruising the Alaska waters in grand fashion are the Letitia II, owned by Gordon Oliver of Vancouver, B.. C., and the Margaret, owned by Or son Brown of the Puget Sound Dredging Go.
 The Letitia, a 48-foot bridge deck cruiser, left Vancouver May 3 and has been leisurely enroute to Ju- neau since that time, having covered most of the inlets and sounds on the way north. Travelling more than l70O miles to date, MT. and Mrs. Oh- yer and son, Gordon Oliver Jr., have little to report other thansa wonder full tune and great deal of camera action.
 The Letitia is equipped with a Buda Diesel engine and cruises at around 10 knots. The cruiser was issued the first of the new cruising permits for Canadian boats in Alas ka waters and the Divers are mem bers of the Royal Vancouver Yacht
 
 Club.
 The Letitia and the Margaret be- gan cruising together at Petersburg, where the Margaret has been for the past nine months while her owner, Orson Brown, worked with the Wrangell Narrows dredging project. Also aboard the Margaret are Mrs. Brown, her daughter Barbara and her mother Mrs. Alter. The Mar garet is a 50-foot yacht from Seattle and plans to cruise the area for about a month. Relative to fishing, Brown reports the best luck yet to have been in Scenery Cove.
 The two yachts plan to leave for Skagway today, returning to Juneau the last of this week, after which they will continue their respective cruises.

POLITICS FORGETS ATOMIC ENERGY

Of course the lacy who runs our house was disappointed that her candidate. Senator Taft, wasn't nominated. And I have to agree with her that Bob Taft will go down in history for his spunk and courage and honesty.
 But I think Taft forgets one great thing-the thing, incidentally, that was missed by nearly all the speakers and delegates at this ;convention-namely that we are living in an atomic age-an age that moves so fast we dare not take one false step for fear we get left behind
 2 That was what so many speak sers seemed to forget at this con- svention.
 Squeezed almost off the front pages by the political news was alarming word from Berlin that the Russians once again were try ing to push us out of Berlin. AL most squeezed off the front pages also was news that President Tru- man had signed the peacetime draft-probably the most momen- tous legislation in recent history.
 In other words we face the prospect that that son of yours with thousands of other sons, may have to march off to another war
 This was the most important thing the Republicans overlooked
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-06-29
ISOLATIONISIs ; BORE FROM WITHIN

They overlooked it partly be- cause they couldn't afford to face it, partly because they were so busy fighting a rear-guard action against the isolationists within their own ranks-the leaders who still think the U.S.A. can remain aloof from the world. Your cotls- in Bertie Mccormick put up the chief fight on this point. That was the reason he walked out of the convention at the end rather than vote for Dewey-also why he refused to let the Illinois Delega- ton, over which he remained su- preme, support anyone but Taft.
 To the bitter end, Cousin Bertie and his Chicago Tribune remained aloof and alone-the way they would like to have the United States.
 That is one issue the Democratic Party hasn't had to worry about,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-06-29

and is one reason their leadership on foreign affair has been much more farsighted.
 Though the Republicans at Philadelphia finally defeated the isolationists, they dared not move forward. Instead they looked back ward. Most of the speakers spent their time lambasting their fav- orite whipping boys, Roosevelt and the New Deal.

SERIOUS L055ES
 IN GARDEN CROPS [
 AT MATAkUSkA

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 29. -tR- A combination of drought and cutworms has caused a 60 percent loss of garden crops m the Matanuska Valley, Manager Carl Rasmussen of the Farmers Cooperative Association there said today.
 The shortage of vegetables, he said, will require larger shipments of perishable from the states. The drought in this area has been worst than in 1881, with only .45 inch of rainfall recorded in An chorage during April, May and thus far in June.
 Rasmussen said the potato crop was u1damaged and the grain and hay crops were normal.

Youngest First Lady
 Cheers Her Candidate
CAP Newsfeature)

COLUMBIA, s. G. Attractive, dark-haired Jean Crouch Thurmond, bride of Dixiecrat presidential can didate J. Strom Thurmond, is the youngest governors lady in the land: 22.
 Five days after the general elec- tion next month, the South Caro- lima governor, who heads the States Rights Democratic ticket, will cele- Lrate tte first anniversary of their marriage.
 And ever since the wedding-at an improvised altar in the gover- nor's mansion-she has been in a whirl from one public function to another.
 As a loyal wife and by her own conv ctions, Jean Thurmond is an ardent supporter of the principles of states rights tut as woman she still finds time to consider such important items as clothes and eui- sine.
 She's real beauty, slender, fairly tall and with a quiet, gentle man. ner. She is most fond of tailored cloties, and South Carol nians like her taste. For public appeal lances, sle goes in for a dark, hasic color She uses jewelry sparingly and does not 90 in for many frills and fur bellows.
 Part of her small wardrobe, at lea t, is due to etfolts of her sister, Frances Crouch, talented girl with [. nes de. Jean Thurmond is at home with scissors and needle in hand, but at the moment she's had only 'ime to touch things up." Both the Crouca rls learned their wa around a sewing basket at Win throp College, the states women's .ol-sge at Rock Hill.
 The executive mansion boasts a corps of domestic help, put Mrs Thurmond likes to get into the kit cien from time to time, whipping up a surprise dish for her 46-year-ola husband. At the moment shes en- tranoed with a new rec-pe for dev- fled crab, but she has sizable store of Southern recipe secrets, such as hcminy grits, fried chicken and good ole corn bread"
 In spite of the difference between her age and her husbands sEe has to race to keep up with tie athletic minded governor. It's nothing un- usual for the Thurmonds to take g s five-or six-m.le hike. "Of course, I'm worn out or these treks," she confesses.
 The Thurmond-Crouch romance sprang from a childhood admiration and breezy courship of the hoss and his secretary. Soon after Jean graduated from college, sshe began working as a secretary in the gov ernor's office.
