 This attitude is the result of past experiences with Federal planning It is pointed up by the broken promises of the Interior Department.

This promise has been broken repeatedly. The department established two reservations two years ago. subsequently followed by three more. The five withdrawals comprised of 310000 of the best agricultural land in Alaska. The lands were taken out of the public domain and placed in sort of deep freeze which prevents homeseaders others from entering upon them.
 During the war when the Whittier tunnels being constructed, residents of the rail belt were promised reductions in freight rates when the war ended The reduction was to be 30 per cent of the railroad tariff for Anchorage and 10 per cent for Fairbanks
 But the reductions were forthcoming. h. stead of using the Whittier terminal facilities after the war The Alaska Railroad made them available for the exclusive use of the military. Commercial freight has been excluded from the Whittier docks and ship ping costs have gone higher instead of lower.
 Experiences such these destroy the faith of Alaskans in promises

tacular jump in lard prices.

i tacular jump in lard prices.
 The Agriculture Department,
 however, has adopted a policy of
 supporting only agricultural pro- ducts, not by-products. A support price for a by-product such as lard, i it feels, would not help farmers, but the meat packers.
 Nevertheless, Cullum phoned
 George Parks in the fats and oils branch in the name of Senator Thomas and demanded a price sup
 port for lard. Parks promised a written reply, and when it didn't come fast enough, Cullum made i two phone calls to David Pettus in the livestock branch for informa- ton on price supports. Again he suggested that the government buy lard. Each time he represented
 himself as speaking for Senator Thomas and the Senate Agriculture
 Committee
 hS lCSulI Ol Suiiuiii oStiNiOy the Agriculture Department finally
 sent. an official letter to Senator Thomas, dated Aug. "A, in which it
 made pointed reference te Cullum's queries. The letter began:
 This is in reply to recent tele- phone request from MT. Dyke Cul-
 lum to the fats and oils branch for
 information regarding the calcula-
 ton of a parity price for lard. As i you know. the parity price concept
 heretofore has applied only to di-
 rect agricultural commodities sold 1 by farmers. It has not applied to
 products such as fats and oils
 which are processed from agricul- ! tural products and sold by process 1 SOrS
 Last year the Senate expendi- 1 lures subcommittee under Ferguson
 of Michigan started to probe the i fragrant speculating of Senator Thomas and his weird link with Cullum. Investigators actually
 raided Cullum's office, whereupon Thomas threatened to expose some t; of Senator Ferguson's connections
 in Michigan and the probe was suddenly dropped.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-09-23
SENATORIAL SPECULATOR

It looks as if Senator Thomas speculating partner, Dyke McCul- lum, has diverse and widespread interests. D
 Last week it was revealed that Cullum, who frequently claims to represent Thomas, had bought ten carloads of egg futures at the same time that the Senator from Okla homa had introduced legislation taking the support price off of eggs. Senator Thomas and Cullum have used joint trading account on the commodity exchange in the past.
 Now, in addition to eggs, it de- velops that Cullum has been pulling wires with the Agriculture Depart ment regarding lard.
 Cullum's influence in Agricultur- al matters results from the fact that Thomas, as chairman of the Senate Agriculture committee, can block or pass most farm legisla- tion.
 Therefore, when Cullum, who helps the Senator write legislation, demands inside information from the Agriculture Department, agri- culture officials can't tell whether they are giving it for legislative purposes or for speculative pur- poses. Naturally, inside knowledge of government purchases and price supports could be used to make big profits on the commodity mar ket.

 The Anchorage Daily Times editorially says as far as power and authority concerned, the Me Kinley Park meeting is in position to make some vital decisions and clear the way for speedy action on many of the problems which impede and delay development.
 But the Anchorage Times, like other newspapers in Alaska doubts that much will come from the con- ference and says:
 "The officials have been brought together with the very best of intentions to shape their programs for a substantial and practical program. They may find however that despite these good intentions their sessions are viewed rather lightly by considerable portion of Alaskans
 Many residents of the Territory view the meet ing as another cradle of dreams that come true; hatchery of schemes that sound grandiose but will never be carri.a forward They fear that visionary

The Courts Newest Member
(NeW York TimeS)


 The Supreme Court of the United States is and ought be the most deeply respected institution of the Federal Government. On it's independence and integrity the precious rights of citizen Its members ought to be chosen for their proven judicial ability and temperament, and not merely for their political and social opinions or their amiable person. alities Unfortunately in the nomination and con- frmation of Tom c. Clark to be Associate Justice. too much emphasis has been placed on the latter qualities.
 The Attorney General has been loyal Demo- crat faithful to MT Truman at critical time, and an energtic administrator None of his activities was such as to demonstrate the judicial temperament The overwhelming vote of approval which the Senate gave him recently largely the result of his personal popularity We trust that if MT. Truman should un- happily have to fill another vacancy in the court he will proceed in a less off-hand manner and with more canvassing of possible candidates-including those with judicial experimentation he did in this case. Everyone will of course have the utmost goodwill toward the Justice. Everyone will ferventy hope that the tremendous responsibility which is now his will evoke powers that will enable him to prove him. worthy of the great office to which he has been elevated.
