S248O PER CAPITA?
(Juneau Empire)

(Juneau Empire)
 We give Delegate Bob Bartlett plenty of credit for ob taning appropriations of 900 for Alaska dur ing the recently adjourned Congress
 A Congressman speaking at the Chamber of Com merce meeting Thursday called attention to the fact that based possible 900 population for the Ter ritory that would be per capita appropriation from Federal funds of $2480.
 For which duly grateful.
 But all of us including Delegate Bartlett sure, of Alaska were made defend 100 0O0 Alaskans but to defend the 15OO0O 900 people in all of the United States.
 This, in way, is intended to disparage Delegate Bartllett's accomplishment.
 But let's be realistic about it. Of course, a lot of those dollars will dribbe back to the individual Alaskan That is thing about Ter ritory-the population is small that any additional activity any additional capital invested in the country helps greatly

CONVERTED 'LIBERALv
(By George $. BenSOn)


 Here in America where the government has not yet seen fit to advocate thought control man can just about make up his mind any subject the way he very well chooses Of course unbiased viewpoint and hon. esty of purpose will always help man reach the right conclusion that is truth possible fellow can be ignorant gube and be wrong He can also be preJudiced and be wrong.
 But it's for sure that any American who is honest with himself and looking for truth, won't be stumbling down blind alleys all his life An Arkansas organization 9th eArkansas Free Enterprise Association Little Rock) has recently distributed copies of letter that proves the point 1 have just made. Written by Hot Springs minister H. M Bedford, the letter makes one wonder why more people not concerned about Amerlca and as honest with themselves as is Mr. Bedford
 For Mr. Bedford has been converted from an attl- tude That attitude made it possible for him to suspect the economic system that has made possible the great of this nation This attitude he states character ized his preaching and thinking for about five years at- ter he got of college. Now he wants to counteract and correct this trend of thought which he feels is among college graduates.
 He writes: Upon graduation from college my feeling that economic system was baSlcally unsound, that it was matter of making corrections here and there but that the fundamental philosophy of the sys tenn was outmoded and wholly unfit to cope with the strains and stresses of machine civilization Further had very definite prejudice toward all big business thinking that they were all expolters, oppressors etc.
 Mir Bedford goes to list number of reasons why these ideas got into his head His early background one of poverty hard times and hunger. As boy he worked in large corporation where the boss always drove" him, with word of encouragement. The lib eral' magazines he read hammered constantly on the idea of changing economic system.
 Most of his college work reflected the conviction that the economic system of America destined to change or collapse" There mighty important lessons these frank statements of MT. Bedford They show how it is possible for aducated, sincere, and earnest to become utter confusd in his thinking about America But Mir. Bedford was honest with him. self.
 "So my attitude changed. am firmly convinced that the so-called big business with all the faults that might be registered against them the most cap able group economically speaking in this country be- lieve profoundly that fo they taxed too heavily .. then this country is ruined"
 Mr. Bedford goes to say in his letter that during the years have to live shall make whatever contr button toward making America the kind of coun- try forefathers dreamed that it should, and could be- That is fine example of patriotism It would be well every American had equal fervor and determn aton do his part keeping this nation free and pros porous Here is who has learned something about his country.

LONDON, July 12.-Defiant

British government seized the

The cabinet assumed virtual
wartime powers to break up the

another 2,728 men today. Fewer
than $4,000 Of the $4,000 who
make up the London dock labor
force reported for work.

House Probers Decide
Not 10 Call Witnesses
Barred in Hiss Trial
Wood Also Announces
Group Won't Investigate
Conduct Of Judge
by Robert K. Walsh

/ Witnesses who were barred from
testifying at the perjury trial OF
Alger Hiss in New York will not
be called before the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
"at this time" the committee de-
cided in closed session today.
Chairman Wood announced also
that the committee will make no
investigation of the conduct OF
Federal Judge Samuel H. Kauf-
man, who presided at the trial
which ended in jury deadlock
last Friday night.
Representative Nixon, Republi-
can, of California, had said before
today's committee meeting that he
would ask the committee to sum-
mon Mrs. Hede Massing, former
wife of Gerhard Eisler, Communist
leader who recently jumped bond
and fed to Europe.
Republicans Outvoted.
Other Republican members re-
portedly supported Mr.. Nixon, but
were outvoted by the five Demo-
cratic members. Mr.. Nixon said,
however, he had no intention of
proposing that the committee in
vestigate the judiciary. Any such
inquiry should be made by the
House Judiciary Committee, he
added.
Chairman Wood said in state
ment after the hour-long execu-
tive meeting:
There will be no investigation
Of the judiciary by the Commit
tee on Un-American Activities and
none has been proposed or re-
quested by any member thereof.
If any such investigation was un-
dertaken by the Congress, it would
be within the province Of the
judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Wood refused to amplify
the phrase "at this time" when
asked if it indicated that the
committee intends to call Mrs.
Massing and other Hiss case wit
nesses after another trial is held
| in Federal Court next fall. He
commented that "the statement
speaks for itself"
Testimony Barred.
Judge Kaufman refused to per-
nit Mrs. Massing to testify at the
Hiss trial. The prosecution had
hoped to have her tell the jury
about Communist Party associa-
tions she said she had with Mr..
Hiss. Mr.. Hiss has denied know
ing her or ever having been a
Communist.

Velde, Republican, of Illinois, is

Dulles May Answer
Arguments Of Taft
Against Pact Today
Additional Speeches in
Senate May Delay Vote
Until Thursday or Friday
By }. A. O'leory

Senator Dulles, Republican, OF
New York. a supporter of the
North Atlantic defense pact. may
reply today to some of the blows
dealt the treaty yesterday by Sen
ator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
when he came out against 1t or
the ground that it will do fal
more to bring about a third worlc
war than it will ever maintain
the peace Of the world"
Chairman Connally of the For
eign Relations Committee con-
ceded that Senator Taft's decision
probably will sway several Sena-
tors who usually see eye-to-eye
with the Ohioan. Senator Con-
nally stuck to his Sunday forecast
of not more than IS votes against
the treaty. however. This would
leave well over the required two
thirds supporting it.
Additional speeches, stimulated
by the Taft attack, may put off a
vote on the treaty until Thursday
or Friday. Leaders had hoped for
a decision tomorrow.
Would Be Dramatic Event.
If Mr.. Dulles gets the floor today
and challenges Senator Taft's
reasoning his speech will provide
a dramatic moment in the debate.
After only three days in the Senate,
Senator Dulles would be taking on
one of that body's hardest hitting
and most resourceful debaters.
The New Yorker would have on
his side the advantage of years of
experience on foreign policy to
make up for any lack of seniority
in the Senate, for he has followed
every important international
meeting since the close of the First
World War. AS a delegate to the
United Nations. he has been a wit
ness to the stalemates in that
forum which prompted the United
States, Canada and 10 nations Of
Western Europe to seek peace
through this regional defense pact
the North Atlantic treaty.
In the background of such a dis
cussion would be the knowledge
that Senator's Dulles and Taft
have been in different camps in
Republican politics in recent years.
Senator Dulles is a close friend of
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and was
his foreign affairs adviser in the
1914 and 1948 presidential cam
paigns.
Senator Dulles followed atten-
lively as blunt-spoken Senator
Taft told the Senate he cannot
