CAB. Releases
Report On Alaska

WASHINGTON, JP)-The civil
aeronautics board released with
out comment Saturday a study by
its Alaskan office which recon-
mendS a co-ordinated program of
air transport regulation for the
Territory.
The CAB said it distributed the
report only for public information
and comment by interested par
ties.
In general, the study proposes
steps to provide a pattern of def
mite regulatory detectives with
flexibility of application. 1t said
the pattern must be established
in such a manner that it can be
expanded or contracted quickly
and readily in relation to the up
ward or downward movement in
the general economy of the Terri
tory"
AT no time in its history" the
report said, has Alaska's horizon
been brighter. There is every reA-
son to believe that its progress
toward permanent and stable &C
complishment will continue at an
accelerated pace"
It warned, however, that "a Sc
rious recession would not be sur
prising" if there should be drastic
curtailment of government activj-
ties.
Calling attention to the progress
made by individual achievement
Of air transport operators in Alas
ka, the report said the point has
passed where a properly co-ordin-
ated program" might emerge
gradually, as did the system itself,

Hickenlooper May
Change Tactics In
Atomic Hearing

WASHINGTON, up - Senator
H k nlooper R.-Iowa may
change the style of his attack on
the atomic energy commission
this week.
The Iowa Senator has charged
that chairman David f. Lilienthal
has been running the Acc badly.
He wants him fired.
The Senate-HouSe atomic COM
mission is holding hearings to let
Hickenlooper explain his reasons.
The Senator has made a big
point out of what he claims is lax
ness of the Acc on loyalty issues.
Without mentioning names, he
has told of cases where men han
ding vital atomic secrets haven't
been checked properly.
But Friday the committee by a
9 to 8 vote decided that from now
on, Hickenlooper must identify
these loyalty cases. 1t will be done
in closed meetings, and the names
won't be made public.
Hickenlooper says this wrecks
his entire campaign because he
cannot get over to the public his
charges on this point.
Hearings may resume today if
Hickenlooper is ready to resume
with other phases of his case. The
Senator said he would try to ere
orient my approach"
Lilienthal has denied the charg-
es flatly
Both House and Senate were
idle Saturday. and few commit
tee meetings were scheduled. Most
Congressional activity was CEN
tered on planning strategy for this

Statute OF
Limitations MAY
Save Bridges

Continued from Page One
a ruling may be had in this case"
Defense counsel Herbert Resner
said:
I'VE certainly contend that the
statute of limitations has voided
all charges in the indictment.
Since the Supreme Court has
never ruled on the case, it will
probably be necessary for us to
carry our fight to that tribunal"
Donohue added, IF we do get
an adverse ruling, we shall pro-
coed with a civil suit against
Bridges"
That would mean there would
be no criminal trial but another
deportation hearing against Bridg-
es alone. 1t would differ from pri-
or hearings in that they were ad-
miniStrative hearings by the gov
eminent, while this would be a
civil suit IN a court of law.
Thursday, when Bridges and
Robertson were arraigned, Judge
Roche said:
Il hope to try to dispose of ev-
cry motion and maybe dispose Of
the case-if the proper legal
showing is made-Without trial. :"
His comment pointed up the pos
Sibility Of the statute of limita-
tons being invoked.
DOnohue said Friday if the gov
eminent gets past the statute, i
will present "a stronger case than
ever presented against Bridges be-
fore. 1t is to be developed by 80

Time

OLD FATHER TIME knows more
than anybody. Why? Because he
solves more problems than all the
brains in the universe. More tan
gled questions are answered and
more deadlocks u~nfastened by Time
than by any other agency. Almost
any judgment can be appealed, but
there is no appeal from the decision
of Time.
Don't force issues. Learn to wait
and be patient.
Time can bring things to pass that
no immediate power can accomplish.
Time with its thousand
can bring about a change in point
of view, in temper, in state of mind
which no contention can. If diff
cult problems arise, give them Time
and often they will settle themselves.
Don't decide your beliefs and con-
victions suddenly-give them Time
to simmer-you come to permanent
ideas not only by reasoning but quite
as much by growth.
Time is your shrewdest adviser,
your best critic and your frankest
friend.
