Senate Approves
Airport Increase

WAsHINGToN-The senate hai

seeks to increase the authorization
for construction of the Fairbanks
and Anchorage airports by mil

The construction costs have ris-

Similar legislation is now pend

One of the deadliest aspects of
the campaign to smear the proposed
Columbia Valley Administration is
the way that private power has set
up front" organizations to do its
propaganda work.
This was noted again last week
when the League for eva checked
the 1949 expenditures of the private
power companies doing business in
Oregon, which are on record at the
state capitol, Salem.
Included in their statements
(Which they are required to file by
law were contributions of 5000
to the Pacific Northwest Develop
ment Association" and smaller dona-
tons to the Idaho Reclamation Asso-
citation, the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress and other anti-CVA
groups.
(These donations were made
from the Mountain States Power Co.,
Pacific Power and Light, Portland
General Electric and the Idaho Pow
er Co. Remember, this was just in
Oregon. Big donations also are
made from the power combines of
Washington and Idaho).

POWER TRUST front" ORGANIZATIONS DO the
''DIRTY WORK" AGAINST eva PROPOSAL

Earlier this year the League for
eva exposed the way that private
power was pouring tens of thousands
into these ''front" outfits, and this
information was used by many pro-
ICVA witnesses in congressional tes-
timony on eva two weeks ago.
What are these ''front" outfits?
They wear innocent Names evel-
opment associations" taxpayers
leagues" etc. = and their constitu-
tions contain high-sounding phrases
about how they are dedicated to the
regions development.
Development, but for whom? All
these organizations function as
stooge ''fronts" for the private pow
er interests. When it becomes OBJ
vious that one is phoney, the pri-
vate power boys set up another, give
it an innocent name and it mouths
the same old propaganda.
The Idaho Power Co., for example,
lists the Idaho Reclamation Associ-
alton as technical and profession
al society. Actually it is nothing
more than an anti-CVA, anti-public
power outfit.

Six Trenton, Nj, Negroes sentenced to
death in the electric chair after conviction of
murder were granted retrials yesterday as
the result of action by the Civil Rights Con-
gress, an organization on Atty. Gen. Tom
Clark's "subversive" list because it refuses to
bar Communists from membership.
The Congress retained former Asst Atty.
Gen. O. John Royce to represent certain of
the defendants after having examined the
trial record and evidence that an injustice
had been done to the men under sentence
because they were poor and because they
were Negroes.
Mr.. Royce presented his arguments for
retrial after great difficulty in obtaining a
hearing and great difficulty in getting COM
plete record of the cases.
The State Supreme Court of New jersey
after considering the arguments of Mr.
Royce, was unanimous in its opinion that the
men had been unJustly sentenced to death,
and held that their guilt had not been clearly
established that they were deprived of due
process of law; that evidence vital to their
defense had been excluded by the original
trial judge, and that they should be given
a new trial.
Had it not been for the intervention of the
Civil Rights Congress, and for the brilliant
and persistent effort of Mr. Rogge, all six
cuted by the state.
And democracy and the democratic proc
ess would have justly been charged with
murder.
Clearly, an organization seeking to sub
vert the democratic process would have
had more to gain by letting injustice take
its course and making capital of its fail
ures, than by insisting that the machinery
of democratic process be invoked to cor
rect injustice.
By acting as it did, the Congress acted to
uphold and enforce democratic procedure.
The fight has by no means been won.
But the Civil Rights Congress has never
theless won significant initial victory. 1t
is victory beyond the stay of execution of
an unjustly imposed sentence on the Trenton
six. 1t is victory for all of us who believe
hat eternal vigilance must be exercised to
make certain that the projections afforded
citizens in theory under our democracy are
actually extended to them in practice with
out regard to social station, economic posi-
ion, race, creed or color.
When such vigilance is not exercised,
democracy dies.
The action of the Attorney General in
ssuing his "subversve list was to extend
he authority of government, by edict, against
he growth of the organizations listed.
The Attorney Generals clear intention
vas to cripple such organizations by the i'm
,utation that they are antipathetic to democ-
acy, that citizens associated with them or
ontributing to them or even listening to them
re somehow of questionable loyalty to

A CIVIL RIGHTS VICTORY

thanks that the effort failed to intimidate
the Civil Rights Congress. 1t would be diff
ficult to find greater service to the true
ends of democracy than that just performed
by that organization and its able attorney.
1t is becoming more clear each day that
what the Attorney General means by loyalty
just as what the President means by 10y
atty = is agreement with Tom Clark and
Harry S. Truman.
They are persistently confusing devotion
to democracy by attempting to make it synon-
ymous with devotion to them, or to their adj
ministration.
The victory for the democratic process,
compelled by the action of the "subversive"
Civil Rights Congress, serves to illuminate
the difference.
1t will be, we hope difficult to forget
that if Attorney General Tom Clark had
had his way, the Trenton Six would have
been executed
eff there is any fixed star in our consti-
tutional constellation, it is that no official,
high or petty, can prescribe what shall be
orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or
other matters of opinion force citizens to
confess by word or act their faith therein. If
there are any circumstances which permit an
exception, they do not now occur to u.s.

Case of West Virginia State Board " Bar

g.. But when men have realized that
time has upset many fighting faiths, they
may come to believe even more than they
believe in the very foundations of their own
conduct that the ultimate good desired is
better reached by free trade in ideas-that
the best test of truth is the power of the
thought to get itself accepted in the COM
petition of the market, and that truth is the
only ground upon which their wishes safely
can be carried out. That at any rate is the

Scientist 10 Try Today
To Descend 6,000Feet
Into Ocean Depths
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

SMUGGLER'S COVE, Calf,
Aug. 13.-Man and science were
ready today for a dramatic at
tempt to conquer the crushing
pressure Of ocean water more than
mile deep.
If all goes well, by nightfall Otis
Barton, 48, Of Boston. Harvard
trained marine explorer, will be
the first human in history to have
peered into the icy depths 5000
feet down, where unknown. pre-
sumably weird creatures live and
sunlight never penetrates.
The location for this, colossal
dunking venture is near this cove
on the southeast shore of Santa
Cruz Island. Is miles south of
Santa Barbara.
Mr.. Barton in this world record
dive attempt hopes to open a new
frontier of scientific exploration
studies of possible food and oil
resources in the ocean depths,
underwater vegetation, informa-
ton for military usage, charting
of the ocean floors mountains,
valleys and canyons.
He expected to encounter ice
water at 1000 feet and equipped
himself with wooden clothing and
blankets.
The vehicle for his descent is
cast steel sphere. 571a inches
in diameter, weighing 1000
pounds. lowered by "a inch steel
cable by a crane from a 100-foot
steel barge. Its shell is IA inches
thick at the thinnest point. It
has a 15-inch door and two win
dows of fused quartz 3 inches
thick. one 5A inches across. the
other az inches in diameter.
Seals around these apertures
tighten as pressure increases.
Pressure at 5000 feet is esti-
mated at 100000 pounds, or,
$500 pounds per square inch.
compared with IS pounds per
square inch normal atmospheric
pressure at sea level.
Two lights outside the sphere
illuminate the depths for Mr.. Bar
ton to see and for power-driven
camera to take motion pictures.
He has a telephone line to the
surface. where a wire recorder will
preserve his entire conversation
and observations An ampifying
system carries his words to OBJ
servers and crewmen topside. Ra-
dio telephones constitute commu-
nications with the mainland.
The cables entire length has
been tested for twice the expected
load. A section of it was tested
for its ultimate breaking point,
found to be six times the expect
ed load.
Oxygen released from a cylin-
der permits Mr.. Barton to breathe.
Carbon dioxide expelled from his
lungs is absorbed by soda lime
screens. He can stay down as
long as six hours.
