The Spoils System Begins 70
F0wish in This State

II is to be taken as 8 matter
of course that successful can
dldatee for public Office Will re-
ward with appointments persons
who helped TO get them elected.
They all do it. from Presidents
down, to whatever political
party they belong. Anybody at
all familiar with the record Of
campaigns and elections can re-
call. of the bat, smany cases OF
the dealing out of posts OF
honor and profit in return for
services rendered. In one cate
CORY alone, that Of ambassadors
and other REPRESENTATIVES, IN
foreign countries. thousands Of
appointments have been given,
gince the founding Of the re-
public, to men whose selection
could not possibly be due TO
anything but their campaign
contributions or other timely
campaign help. There comes TO
mind, for example, the appoint
ment, as minister to Canada ten
years ago, Of a man whose chief
claim to fame was that he added
to the wealth he already had by
mAFTyIHY uiIIIIUTIdIfcoocs, liz
cluding Doris Duke. And, as with
ambassadorships, so il has been
with places in the cabinet and
on the bench, district attorney
ships and commissionerships,
and other places within the 4p-
pointiye power. Celebrated In
stances Of this time-honored
practice, here in North Caro-
lima, have been governors ap-
p0intments TO the Supreme
Court of men who were their
campaign managers.
With all the long record in
mind, some people may be dis
posed TO ask, when they hear
and read criticism Of Governor
Scott for his distribution Of
plums among his political sup
porters: We'll, what Of it !? Isn't
it the regular thing?"
That comment takes no ac-
count Of the great difference
that may exist between one
Governor and another in, first,
the extent TO which they give
Offices to their political support
ers, and, second, the quality Of
the persons whom they appoint.
Both the RoOeevelts gave ap-
pointments TO men who had
helped them get elected, but
they appointed also many other
men on no other basis than
merit; and it is remembered
that FDR chose men from the
opposition party for important
posts in the government because
he thought these men were the
best qualified for the work to
be done. Older people remember
a notable instance Of a Repub-
leans non-partisanship in the
choice Of a Judge: Taft's ap-
pOintment of Henry Groves
ConnOr, a lifelong and rock
ribbed Democrat, to the federal
bench in this State.
The criticism of Governor
Scott has been caused by the
sweeping extent to which he has
discharged men from the State
Government service in order to
give their jobs TO his political
supporters and by the unimpres-
sive qualifications and, in some
cases, the questionable connec-
lions, Of his appOintees. He is
not only making new appoint
ments to high-level administra-
tive posts, which he would nat
uralIy be expected to do, just as

Seattle Seamen
 Will Carry Income Tax Law To Courts

SEATTLE (P)-Protesting tax ation of Seattle seamen on Alaska ships under a new Alaska income tax law, the sailors union of the Pacific declared yesterday it will carry the fight to court.
 The AFTL union, however, indi- cated last night that it's members would resume signing on Alaska ships pending outcome of court action. Union members earlier had refused to sign on the freighter Palisana because of the law.
 Bob Dombroff, newly y-elected Seattle agent for the Sailors un- ion said the union had receIved assurance from the Alaska Steam ship company that tax money co., lected from seamen in the interim will be held up until April 1. This will give the union time to clarify the laws effect on merchant mar iners, Dombroff said
 Other maritime groups, includ- ing the masters, mates and pilots and marine firemen's union, de- clared they were solidly behind the SUP.
 Dombroff said SUP. attorneys  would seek a restraining order to prevent withholding of 10 per cent of federal withholding taxes paid by seamen in the Alaska trade under the new law.
 The union will establish a test

JUNEAU, (P)-A bill which its sponsor said frankly was intended to keep sailing fiShbOa's off Brls- tOl Bay powered through the Ter ritorial House behind a unani- nous vote yesterday.
 The measure provides a $500 license for each sailboat, regard less of size. It was introduced by Rep. C. Carlson, Cordova Demo- crat who explained that all boats were owned by canneries.
 Power boats are forbidden on Bristol Bay by fish and Wiidlife regulations and the measures sup porters say the heavy tax would be a means of eventually forcing the wildlife service to change its rules.

Air Force Testing Buzz Bombs Near Fairbanks

FAIRBANKS, (P)-A speeding buzz bomb, believed to be the first ever fired in the Arctic, hurled a distance of 15 miles Wednesday in the first of a series of air force experiments in the Far North.
 IL was 10 below zero when the huge projectile, known during the war as the German VI, rOared from a mobile launching ramp at Ladd air force base near here. It was flanked in flight by a flight CT escort" of two jet-propelled F-8O's which had orders to shoot the missile down if it wandered from it's predetermined course.
 The air force reported the Wea- pon flew true, however, at an al titude of 2,000 feet to a harmless landing on the tundra of the vast Ladd Field bombing range.
 Although the bomb was me chemically guided by equipment within it's hull, such missiles also may be controlled from the ground by radio. The air force calls the bomb the JB-2.
 It was hoisted into the air by four rocket boosters developing 10000 pounds takeoff thrust and was powered in flight by pulse jet engines.
 The air force said it also plans to launch a guided missile from a B-2. Other bombs to be tested in- clude the 12,O0O-pound "Tarzon" and the 1,OOO-pound "Razon.'
 The experiments are being con- ducted by the guided missiles group of the air proving ground command on temporary duty at Ladd Field from the Elgin Base, Florida.
 Wednesdays test was in charge of It. Ray Adler of Maramec, Okla.

Statehood Bill Before Congress

WASHINGTON (P)-Statehood for Alaska and Hawaii started on the second leg of it's legislative journey through the 81st Congress Wednesday.
 Bills granting statehood to the Territories were among the first offered in both the House and the Senate.
 Delegates Harrington of Hawaii and Bartlett of Alaska made state hood the prime subject of state mentS to the Senate interior com mittee, although the group is con- sidering only interior department activities and not a statehood bill itself.
 Bartlett told the committee Alaska has long been discrimin- ated against in failure of the gov ernment to treat it as it has other Territories and that Congress has been unfair in enacting legisla- tion which has injured the Terri tory.
 He cited in particular a law which permits shipment of Amer ican merchandise to Alaska via Canadian railroads through the port of Seattle but forbids it through Canadian ports.
 "Alaskans decided statehood iW the only answer to these discrim- nations" Bartlett said.

Senate Battles
 Over Repeal Of Taft-Hartley Law

WASHINGTON, (P) - The em- battled Senate labor committee got into another hot row today over the Truman labor bill.
 The dispute centered on ,whe- ther the government could get court injunctions to block "na- tional emergency" strikes if the Taft-Hartley laws direct provi- sion for such orders is repealed.
 Attorney General Tom Clark in- formed the committee last night that he believes the government could obtain court orders "in ap- p~opriate circumstances" regard less of whether there was specific legal authority. Clark's opinion was in a letter to committee chair man Ebert Thomas D.-UtahD.
 Senator Donnell R.-MoD and other Republican members chal- lenged Clark's statement at pub lie nearing last night.
 With secretary of labor Tobin on the witness stand, Donnell picked up the ball again today.
 Donnell charged that the ad- ministration is trying to allay fear all over the United States that the governments right to ob- tain an injunction" to prevent critical strikes "is to be abandoned by Congress"
 Senator Douglas D.-Ill0 tried three times to interrupt. But Don- nell refused to yield. He said he wanted to preserve the continu- ity" of his argument.
 Then Senator Nicely D.-W. Va0 demanded: "Are we going to let this degenerate into an argument between Senator's? Certainly all the members of the committee have right to be heard"

Asks ANS Schools Be Given To Municipalities

WASHINGTON, CP) - Delegate Bartlett of Alaska asked Congress to permit the interior department to convey school land and build ings to Alaskan municipalities.
 He introduced a bill which he said would enable the Territorial education department to make use Of schools closed by the Alaskan Native Service.
 He also offered a measure to place the Alaska Railroad en- ployees under the civil service re- tirement law It does not include such employees now under civil service.
 In a third bill, Bartlett pro- posed that national housing au- thOrities be permitted to allow one-third more for construction of houses in the Territory than in continental United States.
 It also provides that national and Alaskan Housing authorities cooperate in pushing a housing program in the Territory.

Internation'l News At A Glance ---
By The Associated PresS) (ThursdaY. February 3. l949

Josef Cardinal Mindszenty told a Hungarian peoples court today "I plead partly guilty, having committed the majority of those deeds I am charged with"
 The Cardinals former secretary, the Rev. Ondras Zakar, also pleaded partly guilty" but said he only followed orders of his su- periors.
 Mindszenty and six others are being tried at Budapest on charg- es of treason, sping and black market dealings. Mindszenty is the first Roman Catholic Cardinal ever to be tried by a civil court.
 The Hungarian peoples court opened the session by saying Min dszenty had offered to withdraw his opposition to church-state agreement if his trial would be put off. The presiding judge read letter to that effect, purportedly from the Primate.
 The letter said Cardinal Minds zenty admitted "grave errors" in his fight against a church-state understanding, promised to give the Hungarian bishops a free hand
