of Lincoln's birthday speechmak-
ing that took him to California
and points West. He was prompt
ly invited to confer Thursday
with Senator Brewster. chairman
of the Senate Campaign Commit
tee. and Representative Hall,
chairman of the House campaign
ers.
They put the question to him
bluntly: What do you have in
mind?
Mr.. Scott replied that he
planned to do some more speech
making and that he had been
thinking the committee could do
with some public relations ex-
perts to tell them how to get the
record of the 80th Congress be-
fore the people. He found his
audience somewhat cool to the
public relations approach.
Money Sought.
Their tentative decision is to
raise money independently Of the
National Committee. For this they
expect to rely on former Senator
John Townsend Of Delaware, an
old hand who has many times
proved his ability to tap Repub-
lican sources for the sinews Of
war. They are also talking.
though this is still indefinite, of
naming Victor johnson, who
proved himself in the Wisconsin
primary as Stassen manager, to
be co-ordinator of Senate and
House campaign committees.
The practical effect of such
moves would be to leave the Ma
tional Committee stranded and
the campaigning in the hands Of
the Republicans in Congress. Ac-
tually the minority party's record
is always made on the hill; 1t is
rare, however, for its congress
sional bloc to take management
functions entirely away from the
committee. Yet this is what would
happen if the Congressional COP
committees name Mr.. johnson to
be, in effect, another Herbert
in so while leaving
titular command to Mr.. Scott.
Perhaps this is the new pat
tern. President Truman has
steadily reduced the Importance

mittee and its chairman. concen-

graves of Southern soldiers. It
was explained to her that this was
a national park, and only soldiers
of the United States could be
buried here, and as Confederate
soldiers were not members Of the
Nation they had to find final rest
ing places somewhere else.
Good. good" she said. Serves
them right. Hope they weren't
buried at all"
Don't think I'm tough. All I
want is Americans who are just
that, and nothing else.
I wasn't built to be patient with
folk with small, tiny, undersizs
minds.

The Alaska Steamship Company recently released cost figures on the Interim Agreement" operation together with detailed information concerning the elements of the agreement in report to it's agents.
 Henry Green, lccal company agent commenting on the release said, Admiral F. A. zeusler, our executive assistant to the President, clearly presented the reasoning be- hind this release when he said, The problem of Alaska shipping is one of the most frequently discussed sul- jects in the Territory. The sub ject itself is highly complex in na- ture and as a consequence the facts are often misunderstood or dis torted The result is that Alaskans sometimes find themselves con- fused in a maze of various charges and rumors concerning this prob lem which is very close to their daily life'.'
 To clarify the profit picture for the period of the Interim Agree ment the above chart was pre- pared, showing disbursements of the total Interim operating revenue of $13,254, ,827, realized from May l, 1947 through December 3l, 1948. The months following the termination date of the Interim Agreement, June 3, 1948, are included for those vessel voyages begun before that date, but because of the long shore strike, not completed until the end of December.
 Referring to the report, Green
The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-09-09

said, Although 10 percent profit, before taxes, was authorized under the agreement, we earned but 6.3 percent
 Another roint that is not gen. orally realized he continued, is that the Alaska Line is not re- ceiving any help from the govern ment whatsoever at this time and hasn't been since the termination of the last voyage under the h. terim Agreement. The fact that the Congress passed legislation permit ting the extension of the agreement has confused many into thinking that it was extended. Actually, the Maritime Commission did not choose to extend the plan, so it was terminated June 30. 1948."
 Since that time the Alaska Steamship Company has not only operated on a strictly private basis Green pointed out, '1sut has added two units to its privately owned fleet-the MS Terminal Knot and the SS Chief Washable. Now we have seven of our own vessels and eleven chartered vessels serving Alaska.
 With 50 years experience meet ing the shipping needs of all the Territory with complete transpor- tation service passenger, freight, mail, express, refrigeration and heavy equipment-handling facilities we look forward to years of even greater service to the expanding needs of a prosperous, progressing Alaska"
