 There is nothing wrong with pre- senting pro-navy or anti-navy views before Congress. The right of petition is guaranteed by the con- stitution. However, it is equally important that the public know who is behind all the propaganda. It is largely either the admirals themselves or their friends who, in many cases, profit from Navy con- tracts.
 Note-The unacceptable fact is that either you have unification or you don't. And you can't have it with one branch of the service waging a death battle against it's commander

ALASKA IS A GREAT LAND

Now We know living in a great land Alaska Those who have been reading the Associated Press dispatches in The Empire during the past eral days are receiving great education as to possibilities.
 The reports issued have been full of data, some new old. We have been hearing about these things for many years. Now let us do something instead of talk and this is just hint to those who have been telling all about it. Action speaks stronger than the hundreds of words spoken If the resources are here, let us get started on them-now And while population is needed, the new popula- jon must be housed, but must wait and see just what the various housing investigations will bring forth and with what resultS
 Alaska is a great land, doubt, but at that there is still something lacking.

ward Even, to Guam Admiral Even had served only one year of a three-year tour of duty, but sud- denly he was whisked off to a dis tant island, far from the strong arm of a congressional subpoena.
 The Vinson committee is also eX- pected to apply the microscope to the most powerful backstage lobby ing organization ever to buttonhole Congressman for a government bur eau the Navy League. Frank Hecht, president of the Navy Lea que, has now become so vituperative in comparing Secretary Johnson to European dictators, that good-na tured Bob Fleming, president of Washington's Riggs National Bank, is all set to resign as treasurer of the Navy League. As treasurer of the COP. congressional com mittee last year, Fleming helped raise around a million dollars for Dewey, and has no love for the ad- ministration. But he hasn't been able to stomach the Navy League diatTibes.
 The Navy League has now taken over the admirals' crusade against the bill before Congress tightening unification What the admirals say privately, the Navy League now says for them publicly.

5EABEES OF MAvYai BEAT OUT EskIM0J
 IN ICE HARVESTING

SEATTLE, June IT. -Rl- Navy Seabees have beaten the northern most Alaskan Eskimos at their own game-putting in the annual ice supply.
 Since time immemorial, the Eski- mos have harvested" ice as a source of their winter water supply at Point Barrow.
 They cut it with a handsaw and drag the blocks out with leather thong. y
 The Navy office here said today the Seabees thought they could i'm prove on the old technique. They adapted a motor driven, circular blade timber saw on wheels. They used weasel" (snow tractor) to pull the chunks from the water and bent-pipe skids to haul them ashore.
 The Navy said the result was 40 tons in storage in an eight-hour day-more than an industrious Eskimo could cut and store in 80 days.

HISTORY REPEATS

Harry Truman isn't the first President to have trouble with the Navy League. Herbert Hoover also had his headaches. Just IT years ago he got into such a mudslinging duel with the Navy League that the latter ended up charging the Presidentof the United States with "abysmal ignorance.
 Attempting to practice economy Hoover had ordered the admirals to cut their 1883 budget. Instead the admirals upped it by S40,OO0,0 ,00O and Hoover sent the budget back with demand that is be reduced s20,oo0,00O under 1882.
 Whereupon the Navy League, act ing as a megaphone for the admir- als, hurled the "abysmal ignorance charge at Hoover just as the same Navy League is now calling Secre- tary Johnson dictator.
 Most folks have forgotten ths origin of the Navy which shouldn't be forgotten. For 1t. founders read like a meeting ot metallurgical magnates.

A Bad Bill
We shall see!
(New York Times

tNeW York 1lmeS)
 The veterans pension bill as reported from com mittee was bad enough, but it passed the House of Representatives 1t is very much worse. It would set an unwise precedent in veterans legislation It would establish firmly than ever privileged class in this democracy; it would impose crushing financial burden on future generations
 The principal fight in the House recently revolved around the question of "employability" Under exist ing regulations this factor must be considered in de- termning whether veterans who have service nected disability eligible for pensions. But as it passed the House, the bill would grant pensions ir- respective of "empoyability.' Even with such restriction the new pension proposals would have cost the nation ss,7OOOoo,oO0 over the next fifty years without it. the cost is estimated at S65000, 900 000
 Quite apart from the fantastic cost the pension bill is thoroughly bad in principle. Ignoring the social security system, it establishes as privileged class elderly low-ncome veterans who incurred no disability whatsoever a result of their military service It is a crude handout which discredlts the veterans organizations that obbied for 1t so e1- fectively and the members of the House who voted for it so rresponsiby We think the theory 1lct- tious that to vote against veterans Dill means political suicide and hope that the Senate Will show more courage dealing with this issue than was shown by 226 Democrats and 138 Republicans m the House.

pAST0R zUMWALT RETURNS; ABSENT
 NEARLY } MONTHS

Pastor and Mrs A. L. Zumwalt recently returned to Juneau after an absence of nearly three months Mrs. Zumwalt spent the winter in the states helping care for her aged father, who is a retired Sey- enth-day Adventist minister. She accompanied Pastor Zumwalt on his trip to the churches of the interior They returned by way of Seward, arriving here on the Baranof.
 While in the states Pastor Zum- walt attended committee meeting of the North Pacific Union Con- ference of Seventh-day Adventists at Portland, Oregon, then journeyed by train to Washington, D. C., where the denominational head quarters are located. He arrived there in time to see the Japanese cherry trees in bloom. His trip to Washington was occasioned by a convention of all the presidents Of the conferences of North America. This meeting was attendad by a hundred or more officials of the denomination. Following the pres idents' council, the spring council of the General Conference of Sev- enth-day Adventists convened.
 Pastor zumwalt says that during 1948 the secretaries of the General Conference visited nearly every country of the world and thus had a first hand report to render. Those visiting Central and Northern Flu rope reported terrible conditions of starvation and privation. Conditions are not asa bad as at the close of the war, still there are thousands of homeless starving people. But in the midst of this suffering the gospel is being received as never before.
 Tn nearly every country of the world doors are opening wide to the preaching of the Protestant faith One of the marvels of modern mis- sions is the radio.
 In Japan, Philippines, India, and the islands of the Pacific, the spon- sors find it absolutely impossible to keep up with the demand for Bible lessons by mail. Along with the report of the wonderful progress the gospel is making were reports of dark spots in the mission pro. gram. China is fast being swept behind the Iron Curtain. Behind this curtin little is known Of condi- tions, says Pastor Zumwalt.

STEEL COMPANIES WANT
 BIG NAVY

There is a good reason why these gentlemen and their successors should be the most powerful, un- scrupulous, and consistently ire pressible propagandizers for a big navy. It pays. The bigger the Navy, the more steel plates, the more generators, the more copper and nickel these gentlemen will sell to Uncle Sam.
 Members of the Navy League have been active and brazenly ad- mitted their activity in sabotaging American diplomats at international conferences. It was Charley Schwab of Bethlehem Steel and associates who paid $25,000 to Big Bass Drum" Shearer to frustrate the Ge- neva Naval Conference. The steel and shipbuilding companies just did not want naval limitation to suc- seed. Dividends, for them, came ahead of their country's efforts for peace.
 At Geneva, Shearer would have got nowhere if he had not had the all-to-eager cooperation of several U. s. naval officers sent to Geneva to work for naval limitation. In- stead, they did the opposite.
 One of Shearer's most active nav al collaborators was Adm. Joseph M. Reeves, later exposed as such be- fore the Senate Naval Affairs con- mittee. During the balance of the Hoover economy drive, the bewhisi.- cred Reeves was kept in simulated disgrace. But FDR was the admir- afs gilt from heaven, and under Roosevelt, Reeves was actually re- Warded for his lobbying by promo ton to be commander in chief of the fleet.
 It may be surprise to President Truman and Louie Johnson to find the Navy League now fronting fur lously for the admirals. But it surprises no newspaperman who has watched the admirals work.
 You must take off your coat and go to work helping to save the sit uatlon," Navy League President Hecht has frantically written to thousands of people. You must join our crusade. By joining to de- feat the efforts now being made to emasculate our Navy and jeopardize our country's safety you can help"

 Because they have the Territorial machines by which they hope control the Senators and Repre- sentatves from the Territory.
