 The bouquet is from the Juneau Lodge, Mo- APO, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
 This is National Newspaper Week The remem- brance from our lodge of Elks is most highly appre ciated and especially as it authorized by the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order of Eks Emmett T. Anderson of Tacoma, Wash, who asked that every lodge throughout the country to set aside one day durng National Newspaper Week on which to pay tribute to the Editors and Publishers of the hometown newspapers.
 Grand Exalted Ruler Anderson in his request to lodges of Eks said
 "A free press is a cornerstone of our Republic powerful defender of democratic liberties that are under stealthy attack at home and abroad, and a stimulus to self-crcism that leads to progress ana to betterment of our American way of life.
 Tn thousands of communities across the land there is no more vital than the hometown news naner We are too inclined to take our newspapers for granted forgetting that the men and women who put them out day after day and week after week deserve our announcement National Newspaper week gives us wonderful opportunity to our appre- cation and to give our newspapers recognition they so justly deserve"

ANOTHER PUBLIC SERVANT

Petite Anne Alpern, noted city solicitor of Pittsburgh, Pa, gave Senators on the Interstate Con- merce Committee a piece of her nimble mind the other day.
 Testifying on the stymied re- appointment of Leland Olds, liberal Federal Power Commissioner, the lady lawyer from Pittsburgh asked, in effect, whether the committee was taking orders from the Amer ican people or from the private oil-and-gas lobby, which is so vehemently fighting Old's confir- nation.
 The big gas companies, Miss AL perm asserted, were against Olds because he opposed legislation ex- empting them from Federal rate regulation.
 I'm not concerned about the fate of one man." testified Miss Alpern, but I am concerned about the fate O1 Amerlcan cOIlSulneIS. We cannot afford to jettison men | like Leland Olds who have devoted , their careers 10 protecting consum- CTS. The one thing his enemies don't like about him is that they can't swerve him from his public duty"
 In the very middle of a sentence Sen. Lyndon "Lying-down" John son of Texas, elected by those who opposed Pappy O'Daniel but who has been veering over to Pappy's big oil and-gas voting record, pull ed stopwatch on the lady, inform ed her that her time was> up.
 T wasn't expecting to share my time with members of the commit tee, who have asked me so many questions" replied Miss Alpern, and was given a few more words. a

PEARSON MAKES
 ANOTHER STRIKE

Last week in New York 19- year-old tax case netting Uncle Sam $2,000,000 was finally settled when Mime. Eleanor Patenotre pleaded guilty to income-tax fraud in the sale of the old Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Treasury Department agents in accepting the plea of guilty un- officially paid tribute to Drew Pearson for the favorable outcome of the case. Pearson first brought the Patenotre income-tax case be- fore the public Dec. g, 1943, making a flat and categorical charge of fraud. He reported that the Pat enotre family, who inherited the Philadelphia Inquirer from the late James Elverson, had concealed S8,- 696,151 actual profits in the sale of the paper to the late Moe An nenberg
 Pearson was threatened with libel suit and most of his news papers also received threatening let ters. However, he kept after the case, wrote a dozen or so stories, and at one time when it appear ed the case was stymied in the Justice Department, he bounded officials there. As result of Mrs. Patenotre's plea of guilty the U. s. government will collect to- tai of s2,OOo,0OO immediately and probably another s2,000,0O0 later.

STEPPED ON TOES

Wakefield, Just before hls ap- pointment was withdrawn, had issu- ed a report which saved the Ameri- can public $2,500,000 a year in ra- dio and telegraph rates. Because of this and his consistent champ ionship of lower rates for the pub lie, the big radio and communica- tions companies did not like him. On top of this he had ruled against giving a radio station to Speaker Sam Rayburn's nephew at Hous- ton, Texas. Finally. Senator Brick CT of Ohio, who sought a radio station at Columbus, O., wanted his friend, Congressman Robert Jones of Ohio, appointed in Wake fields place.

 To one who had dedicated his life to government service, who had raised a family on a skimpy gov- ernment salary, and who had tried to defend the public's interest, nat urally this was pretty hard for Ray Wakefield to take. At first he figured he might practice law, then went abroad on a makeshift radio assignment. But he couldn't sleep at night and he kept looking back at all those 25 years spent trying to work his way up from a young deputy district attorney in Fresno, Calf, then as a tax ap- praiser, then on to Washington always working for the public
 And so, with no one particularly left to work for. Ray passed away last week. He was taken to nc government hospital. His funeral will not be held in state. But his

 And he was reappointed. This particular post of the EGG had to be filled by Republican, and Iru- man sent Wakefield's name up to the Senate.
 Then, one day after President Truman made speech at Prince ton. June, 1947, urging young men to make a career of government service, he suddenly withdrew Wakefield's name from the Senate.
 There is a critical shortage Of such men," the President had told the Princeton graduates, referring to government servants. Then he went hack to Washington and kill ed the appointment of man who had spent 25 faithful years in gov ernment service.
