THREATENS JOB

Finally Ralph Trigg, agriculture production and marketing chief, wrote back opposing Cullum's ideas. He then received an insulting letter suggesting that Trigg didn't under stand eggs, and that perhaps a special assistant secretary should be appointed to relieve Trigg of his responsibilities
 Again Cullum did not reveal that having purchased ten carloads of eggs, he was highly interested party.
 The ten carloads of eggs were purchased in Chicago under the
 name of the National Commodity i Corporation. Cullum and his brok- ! CT, Ralph Root, appeared on the : floor of the exchange and made
 the purchase personally. Chicago ! brokers, when interviewed by this i column, stated that Cullum was quite free in using Senator Thom- as name in connection with the
 deal.
 The National Commodity Corpor- i ation is the name used by Gull lum in the past to handle various speculations Its other officers are
 his son, Dyke Cullum, Jr,, secre-
 tary, and his daughter, Xxi Gull lum, treasurer.

In doing so, Thomas wrote a let ter to Senator Clinton Anderson Of New Mexico, whom he placed in charge of the investigation, asking that he call certain people as wit nesses. And in listing them he scrupulously avoided the name of w. D. Termohlen, Agriculture De- partment poultry chief, because Dyke Cullum had told him that Termohlen was not cooperative.
 Cullum had so heckled the poul- try division with letters, phone calls and personal visit in which he claimed to represent the Senate Agriculture committee that Ter mohlen finally challenged him - bluntly asked whether he was paid by the Senate committee. I'm one of those who don't get paid" Cullum retorted.
 Do ycu work for the Agricul- ture committee?"
 q represent Senator Thomas per- scnally," Cullum declared.
 Cullum also wrote, both under his own name and that of Senator Thomas, asking about and criticiz- ing the egg program. He did not at any time reveal, of course, that he had purchased ten carloads of egg futures.

EMPLOYEES AND PARTNERS

All too often. in decades past, wage-earners have thought of themselves having interests directly opposed to those of their employers. They have thought of their normal relation to management as one of rivaly if not hostility. And sometimes man. agements have had the same unsound idea But there are recurring signs that healthier outlook is gaining ground
 For example, the unionized employees of the John Wananaker department store at New York are launch ing an ambitious campaign quite their own to bring the store new customers. They plan to buy adver- Using space to use direct mail appeals and to conduct

of his wife, his secretary, Miss Beth Gage. and his bosom friend, Dyke Cullum. Furthermore, Thomas ad- mitted in a public statement that Cullum had handled his commodity trading for him.
 In addition, another of Senator Thomas speculating friends, Ralph Moore, was indicted under the lob bying act for trying to influence the fats and oils market by issu- ing fake government reports.
 There is nothing illegal about a Senator speculating on the com- modity market-though his ethics are something else again. However, it is almost unbelievable that a Senator-e especially the chairman of the Senate Agriculture Commit tee-should use his prestige and high office to influence prices on the commodity market at the same time he is speculating.

FERGUSON IS OUTBLUFFED

Therefore, Senator Homer Fergu- son of Michigan, then chairman sef a Senate Investigating sub commi, ttee, was authorized to probe the operations of his colleague from Oklahoma. But Senator Thomas did some Investigating of his own of Senator Ferguson. Following which he wrote Ferguson a letter in longhand, later published in this column, threatening to expose certain connections between the Ferguson family and the Chrysler Motor Company.
 Confronted with this letter, the Senator from Michigan promptly dropped his investigation of the Senator from Oklahoma.
 Eighteen months have passed, and Senator Thomas is now up to his old tricks. Since the Democratic victory last November, he has been restored as chairman of the pow erful agriculture committee. But not even waiting for the election the Senator got back into the cot ton market last September.
 Then, about two weeks ago, Sena- tor Thomas let loose a significant public statement. He took a sud- den, surprising interest in eggs publicly complained about the price of eggs, and blasted the Agricul- ture Departments egg-price-sup- port program every time the Senate Agriculture committee met.

Ketchikan has system of nominating city offi- cia that has the solid ring of American dealsm to it. that candidates for elective city offices in cluding the mayor and councilmen, nominated at an open caucus of the voting public. Last Friday night as matter of fact, the citizens of Ketchkan gathered at the city hall to nominate by acclaim, the people they wished to them after the October elections.
 Those who are nominated, if they choose to run, officially the ballot
 This system has good deal of the old town hall spirit to -a spirit that is fast losing ground in the light of streamlined government by professionals
 Whether the system would be feasible in Anchor age is hard to say It should be- The political parties still hold their caucuses. Many States hold caucuses for nominating office holders although the big time caucus has in many instances become the factory for the political machine.
 The usual custom in Anchorage is to begin series of beefing and gripping almost as the city administration is seated public caucus would at least allow prediction safety valve for those who are fond of sitting smugy back and then snipe from the vantage point of armchair for the rest of the year.

TEN CARLOADS OF EGGS

Now every housewife would like to see the price of eggs come down. But what every housewife does not have is ten railroad carloads of eggs. And what very few people in the United States knew was that Thomas intimate friend, Dyke Cullum, had just purchased ten freight carloads of egg futures. Therefore, he was vitally interest," ed in the future price of eggs.
 And Dyke Cullum is the man who. Thomas admits, has handled a trading account for him.

Christmas in
damned Elevator
By the Associated Press

year-old Thomas Brown spent %
hours of the Christmas week end
