STORMY WEATHER

California Democrats aren't the only ones having inner party trouble. The Republicans are also clawing one another.
 Latest outpurst is haymaker hurled by Republican Rep. Richard J. Welch, San Francisco, at Gov. Earl Warren.
 Welch has served 25 consecutive years in Congress and is the dean of the California delegation. An ardent follower of the late Sena- tor Hiram Johnson, Welch is a militant liberal He rarely inter. venes in state politics, but his Irish ire was aroused by the welter of lobbyists and vice scandals swirl ing around the present Republican regime. So. rising in the House, Welch heaved this brickbat at Gov ernor Warren:
 Every right thinking citizen in the country will sympathize with the people of California in their demand for clean and wholesome government. California has oyer 100000 people. Surely among that vast number there is certain to be found a man of strong will and determination wlio would not only clean up the legislative branch of the state government, but would drive from the state what is now a well-organized gangsterism.
 California can and must be re- lieved of this terrible stigma by the election of governor who would carry into effect the policies laid down by the late Hiram John son. It will not be done by an attractive-looking, hand-shaking baok-slapping, gutless governor Would to God, California could have another governor fashioned after Hiram Johnson. The need for such leadership is far greater than at any time in the history of my great state"
 Note-Rep. Helen Gahagan Doug las has received assurances of sup port from number of California Democratic and labor leaders if she runs against Sen. Sheridan Down. ey next year.

WARTIME CASE
 DECISION MADE

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 29.-tR--
 The U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals
 today affirmed restoration of cit
 | izenship to three Japanese-A -Ameri-
 cans who renounced it during war time. At the same time the court wrote a vigorous criticism of Major Gen John L. De Wits exclusion, early in the war, of all persons of Jap anese tlood from the West Coastal fringe. General Dewitt, now retired, is living in the East. The Army ordered the Japanese born persons to the internment camps, on the grounds their loyalty could not be deter mined.
 The case of three Japanese Americans from Southern Califor- mia, as far as today's decision goes, also effects about 4000 others who want citizenship restored.

fense Secretary Louis Johnson, Sen. Willard Tydings, D., Md, chairman of the Armed Services committee, and Sen. Chan. Gurney, N. D., ranking Republican member of the committee. In stormy appearance before the committee, Johnson stated the proposed extra ordinary salary arrangement has President Truman's approval.
 As Senator curing the war the President repeatedly condemned the employment of S1a-year men.
 Leading the fight against Ilgen- fritz are Sens Harry Byrd, D., Va, Lyndon Johnson, D., Texas, and Wayne Morse, O., Oregon. The last two tangled hotly with Secretary Johnson at closed-door meeting.
 Permitting this man to con- tinue to draw his private salary while working for the government would be unsound public policy" 
 Senator Johnson argued. Tt would do more harm than any good the government could possibly get out of Ilgenfritz."
 Morse was equally emphatic. He told Johnson:
 Democracy can be no stronger than the confidence of the people in their government. This appoint ment will shake that confidence to it's roots It is just as important that the man heading the Muni- tions Board be kept free from sus- picion as once it was important that Caesars wife be kept free of suspicion. As head of this cru- cial defense agency, Ilgenfritz must be in a position where no finger can be pointed at him on any ground.
 'It is indefensible that the head of this board with vast power over steel and other materials of de- fense should be subsidized by the dominant steel interests of the country. I am not sure that we should permit any man to hold this job who has connections with the steel industry, but I am sure we should not confirm man who fails to break his bonds with his private industry when he takes this key office"
 To these arguments, Secretary Johnson countered with the con- tention that Ilgenfritz is "indispen- sable"
 That indispensable doctrine is absurd" snapped Morse. Tt is ridiculous to say there is only one man for that job out of 50,000, 900 Americans. If you will look around, you will find other men just as good who vii. not insist on sal- aries from outside sources all out of proportion to what other citizens expect their government to pay them. I will never agree that the patriotism of American businessmen has a price tag on it."
 A majority of the Senate com mittee favors confirmation. But Byrd and the others have served notice they will wage bitter floor fight. With the Senate logjammed by a huge stack of unfinished

STATEHOOD CONTEST LETTERS

Here The Empire did it's best to stir up little interest in the statehood question. At any time, s25 prize should have some consideration. At any time cause that is of sufficient importance to have "a meeting of thirteen committee members in oul capital city should have consideration from the people.
 Immediate statehood? We supposed to bt crying for it. Alaskan opinion is alleged to be de manding it overwhelmingly
 Elsewhere in The Empire is the story of the con- test for the best letter for immediate statehood the best letter against statehood
 We anxious in endeavor to get ar expression of opinion the subject.
 The result?
 One letter in favor of statehood now. Six letters against statehood .
 The Empire has been congratulated for institut- ing the contest, but local interest not what wt expected.
 The time was short, we admit, but certainly expected a greater response.
 To those who wrote to The Empire, say thank you.

 We will turn all of the letters to the State hood Committee for it's consideration, and again, we say, thank you.
