In MemOriam

In loving memory of our Dear
Daughter and Sister, Mrs. Treva
Schmidt, who died years ago Oct.
10.
This day brings back sad memories
Of our loved one gone to rest.
And those who think of her each day
Are the ones who loved her best.
No one knows the silent heartache,
Only those who've lost can tell =
Of the grief we bear in silence
For the one we loved so well.
Friends may think that we forgot hel
When they see US sometimes smile
Little do they know the heartache,
That our smile hides all the while.
You are gone, but not forgotten
As there dawns another year.
Fond memories linger every day,
Remembrance keeps you near.
Sadly missed by her mother, Mrs
Ella McHenry; sisters, Mrs. Mildred
Rusher, Mrs. Blanche Roberts and
Mrs. Martha Arnold, relatives and
friends.

Lehman vs. Dulles
Washington Post)

Washington Post)
 Citizens of other States well those of New York have an interest in the announcements that former Governor Lehman and Senator Dulles will run for the Senate in special election in November In
 narrow sense Senator is the representative of the people of his State but in practice he becomes law maker for the entire Nation. When men of broad experience and high caliber offer their services as Senators it may be taken for granted that if elected they will become primarily national legislators acting in behalf of their country whole MT Lehman clearly falls into this category. As a four-term Gov ernor of New York, director general of UNRRA and as citizen interested in world problems he has amply demonstrated the qualities that make a good Senator
 We would pay the same tribute to Senator Dulles. Senator Wagner's resignation and the election in Appointed by Governor Dewey to fill the gap between November MT Dulles has already established himself as an influential member of the Senate In spite of the fact that he denied seat on the Foreign Relations Committee, his long experience in foreign affairs enabled him to step into an important role in this field without serving the usual novtiate His record of public service will make him formidable contender. Both the major parties in New York will deserve congratulations for offering the public a choice between two men of the standing of former Governor Lehman and Senator Dulles.

Lewis welfare fund is that the pension part of the fund was never exhausted.
 Coal miners say red and struck when Lewis announced that pay ments would stop because the coal operators had not been contribut- ing to the welfare fund. But what they didn't know was that:
 1. Only three or four coal op- orators in the entire United States had stopped contributing.
 2. The pension part of the fund was not overdrawn and could have continued paying pensions.
 However, since no public ac- counting of the welfare fund is available it was impossible for either the coal miners or the Amer ican people to know this And, in the end, it is the American coal burning public which foots the bill. Neither the miners nor the general public could know, for instance, that the pension fund has suffer- ed from all sorts of extraneous expenditures-to say nothing of $35 ,000 paid annually to both Sen- ator Bridges of New Hampshire and Ezra Van Horn for sitting on the board.
 When Lewis stopped all pay ments to miners just before the strike, it was announced that the welfare treasury had dwindled to $14 ,685, ,504 But what Lewis didn't reveal was that, out of this remain ing balance, only little over $1,000000 was earmarked for pen sions to retired. miners.

VALDEZ CITIZENS DONATE MONIES TO
 KEEP ROAD OPEN

VALDEZ, Alaska, Oct. l. -tR|- Residents took what they consid- cred an unprecedented action to- day, presenting $2,87O in private donations to the Alaska Road Con- mission, Federal agency.
 The money, accepted by Supt B. D. Stewart, Jr., is to be used to help keep the Richardson high way open this winter. It is in addi- tion to $1,00O contributed earlier by the Valdez Dock Company.
 Alaska Freight Lines has pledged $30,000 cash to the drive. It will lee paid in two installments on Nov I and Jan. 1.
 Valdez, population 500 and the farthest north year-around open port, provides the shortest direct line to interior towns and military bases. Use of the highway to Fair banks, however is confined to sum- mer months because of a lack of winter maintenance equipment.
 The highway carried tens of thousands of tons of military freight during the war and civilian and military freight is increasing yearly.
 Contributions will provide all necessary labor and major equip ment, the latter including two large rotary blows now being built by the Isaacson Iron Works in Seattle.

HELP NEEDED

1nfantile paralysis is one of the most feared, most mysterious and, far treatment is concerned one of the most expensive of diseases Some years back the National Foundation For Infantile Paralysis was formed to stage concerted drive against this killing and crippling malady. and help the victims obtain adequate treatment in the instances where they or their families could not afford it. Not yet has the disease been licked medically but the nation has the foundation and the generosity of the people have supported it to thank for the fact that not even in the face of polio epidemic has any victim been denied the best chance for life health that present methods and equipment can afford.
 This year has been particularly cruel one from the standpoint of number of polio cases and the ex- penditures from the national polio fund have out run its income. The vital work of combating the present epidemic might have had to stop short had it not been decided to conduct special polio gency fund drive People throughout the nation have welcomed this opportunity to give the work the extra support that present circumstances demand. Locally the response could be better-and should be better.

against making the Russian atomic announcement next morning.
 Makin's argument seemed to hinge partly around the idea that the American people would be too alarmed and panic-stricken One British counter idea was that the news of Russia's possession of the atom secret should be leaked in stead to newspaper. This would give the American public less sudden realization that Russia had the bomb.
 There had also been some op- position to the announcement on the part of U. s. military men on the ground that we could better watch the Russians if they did not know we, knew their secret. The British shared in this view.
 However, the British arguments got nowhere. President Truman had made up his mind categorical ly that the American people were entitled to know what had hap pened, and no one could have de- tered him.
 That was why when the Cabinet met the next morning he stated: T have decided to make the fol- lowing announcement" He did not ask the Cabinet for advice as to whether he should make it.

STRATEGIC AIR
 COMMAND CHIEF
 ON ALASKA TOUR

FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. l. R-Brig. Gen. John B. Montgom- cry, operations chief of the Strate- gic Air Command, arrived by B-36 bomber at Carswell Air Force Base today after a flight to Alaska.
 Col William P Fisher, Carswell Air Base and 7th Bombardment Wing commander, was with him
 The officers left Carswell Sun day on what was described as a routine training mission. Three B-36's were in the flight. The other two planes returned yester- day.
 In one of these were Maj. Gen Earl Barnes, member of Secretary of Defense Johnson's special weap- ons' evaluation board and Col. Cecil Combs, deputy commander of the 9th Air Force.
 The planes visited Eielson Air Base near Anchorage from which future training operations are ex- pected to range of the Arctic Ocean and polar cap. ls

Alaskan fishing-fleet czar, and a good friend of President Truman's, recently threatened to punch Wash ingtons trouble shooting Senator Harry Cain in the nose the next time they met. But after all the hubbub in the papers, the report CTS missed out when the two men finally came face to face the other day in the mems room of the May flower Hotel
 Beg spotted Cain coming in, and whirled around to meet him.
 Are you Harry Cain" demanded Beg, with eyes snapping and jaw thrust forward.
 Sure, and who are you?" shot back Cain.
 T am Nick Bez,' announced the fishing-fleet king.
 The Senator from Washington, a former paratrcoper, quietly shifted his brief case from his right to his left hand.
 Glad to see you" he mumbled
 But Beg brushed this greeting aside. He was sore because Cain had once charged that Beg belong ed to a Communist-front organiza- tion That was the reason for the threat against Gains nose.
 Why did you call me Com munist?" snapped Beg.
 If you had read your newspap- CTS, you would know that I never called you a Communist" Cain re- torted He explained that he had simply read from the Justice De- partment's list of Communist-fron organizations.

MAYBE LEWIS WANTED FUND DEPLETION

When Senator Bridges acted as neutral" arbitrator for the fund in 1948, he decreed that pensions were not to be paid to miners who retired before May 1946. This was partly to make sure there would be enough funds to pay the pen sions, partly because the line on retroactive payments had to be drawn somewhere.
 However, of the total $104 100000 paid out of the fund since April, l948, less than one-third. or $30,- 360,000, has gone to pensions. The rest was overspent, most of it on laudable enterprise. but neverthe- less with wanton abandon certain to deplete the fund and risk the entire pension plan.
 For instance, disability payments and assistance to widows alone cost 64,206,07l Death benefits to widows and dependents cost S5 5,546,- 853; medical care and hospital services cost $4,761 ,071.
 While these were worth while projects. neither the public nor the coal miners has any way of know ing just what they were or how they were administered.
 Note-John L. Lewis was warned at the start that the entire well fare fund would be jeopardized, including pensions, if he went in for too lavish spending. But there is reason to believe he was not at all adverse to the depletion of his welfare fund in order to give him an excuse for coming back for more.
