The school problem in Juneau as elsewhere, is of great importance The director this time is elected for five years and during the coming five years there will be many problems to be solved which will require logical and business like reasoning

NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL

In any admlillstration, whether Democratic or Republican, the Key Cabinet post from political view point is that of the Attorney Gen. eral. For it's in the Department of Justice that the antitrust cases against big business can be prose- cuted-or fixed; where income-tax cases against political friends can be pushed-or dropped; where the big gamblers who contribute heav- fly to most political campaigns can be sent to jail or winked at.
 For instance, the political power of the Justice Department to break big city machines was one reason why fortnight Attorney General Frank Murphy was kicked upstairs to the Supreme Court.
 Because of this, it is always dangerous to put politician in charge of the Justice Department; and for that reason a lot of people will be watching Toward McGrath, just appointed Attorney General after serving as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
 While it's too early yet to judge, so far McGrath is going about his new job not as if he wanted to do a job for the Democratic party but as if he wanted to do a job for the country. His temptations will be great, but so far he has made good impression.
 Note Among other things, Mo Grath is continuing Tom Clark's fortnight position on civil liberties. Recently he ordered the prosecution of an Alabama, policeman, Cecil Thrash, on the charge of shooting Negro in the back, even though the shooting took place two years ago last october.
 Note 2-McGraths chief trouble so far is long weeks ends in Rhode Island.

gether with other memoirs show that these withdrawals were based on the Roosevelt-Stalin agreement at Yalta defining the limits of Rus sia's advance into Europe.
 Therefore, when Gen Eisenhower ordered Gen. Patton out of Czecho- slovakia, Russia immediately moved in and took over the uranium de- posits at Jachymov just a shout as Patton used to shout-from Pil- sen.
 And having marched into Czecho- slovakia, the Red army refused to leave until Russia had been given extraterritorial rights over the uranium mines of Jachymov. This made Russian citizens immune to Czech law in this area, a condi- tion which continues. Even today, no visitors are allowed in Jachymov not even officials of the Czech government.

RUSSIA'S IGNORANCE PLAN

RUSSIA'S IGNORANCE PLAN
 Of course, the present Czech Communist government has no ob- jection to this arrangement, but the earlier Czech government of Edouard Benes did. In fact, the late foreign minister, Jan Masaryk later murdered by the Russians rose on the floor of the United Nations in January 1946 to place Czechoslovakia officially on record as favoring the use of atomic en- ergy for peaceful purposes only and proposed that CZechOslovakia' $ uranium should be made available to all nations.
 As result, official Moscow stood on it's ear. The Soviet Am- bassador in Prague protested tc Czech Prime Minister Fierlinger and the threat was implied that unless Czech uranium mines re- mained under Soviet jurisdiction the Red army would march in  again.
 Since the mines are only three miles away from the Soviet zone of Germany, this was no idle threat. Meanwhile, the extraction of uranium, by German prison la bor, continues. Whether Russia has any other sources of uranium is not known, but it is known that this is the richest source in Europe and without it the recent atomic explosion might have been im- possible.
 Note-It should be recalled that the Yalta agreement was concluded at time when our wartime part nership with Russia was working reasonably well and when Roose- velt's great ambition was to con- tinue this harmony to insure world peace. On the other hand, it should also be recalled that AlgeI Hiss, since accused of leaking State Department documents to the Rus sians, was an adviser at Yalta.

Scott Frowns on Lawyers
Who Obtain Clients in Court

Judge Almond w. Scott yester-
day declared Municipal Court needs
a rule forbidding lawyers in court
from approaching defendants not
already their clients, without a
judges permission.
At the same time he ordered bail
ifs in his courtroom to prevent such
lawyer-client contacts before he
takes the bench at each daily session.
Judge Scott's comments were an
outgrowth of case yesterday in
which he required that 500 in fees
be returned to a defendant.
Attorneys Donald Weed and
Thomas David faced the Judge in
a hearing which grew out OF a
drunken driving charge against
John E. Alfriend. %, of the 5000
block of Duke street, Alexandria.
Testimony by Alfriend and two
companions indicated that while
Alfriend was sitting in the prisoners

House Group Urges
Unchanged Trade Act
BY the Associated Press

A majority of the House Ways
and Means Committee yesterday
formally recommended restoration
of the reciprocal trade agreements
program without any hobbies.
The report called that course the
only action consistent with our for
eign policy as a whole" At the
same time, the minority criticized
the hearings as incomplete.
The committee approved the bill
last Wednesday by vote of II to
8. Two Republicans joined the
Democratic majority in voting for it.
The measure extends the Presi-
dents power to negotiate mutual
tariff cuts with other nations un-
til June IL, 1851, and eliminates
restrictions written into the law
by the Republican 80th Congress.
One of the Republican provisos was
that the President must explain to
Congress if he disregards Tariff
Commission recommendations in re-
ducing duties of specific commodi-
ties.
Eight Republicans who signed a
minority report criticized the DEM
ocrats for closing the hearings with
out calling in the Tariff Commis-
sion.
