EDITOR GETS BACK AT SENATOR

Very recently Sen. Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma, who claims to know all Alaska informed a Con- gressonal committee that the soil in Alaska thaws only down seven inches in summer, nothing but vegetables can be raised and 85 per cent of them is water, that the produce cannot be transported and has to be consumed immediately or dehydrated
 He admits there may be paper pulp up here but says fishing has already been exploited to an unusual degree and that future in minerals claiming the Territory has military, mining and fishing value that things being developed now to the ultimate
 Senator Thomas made very brief trip to Alaska possibly not staying in the north only a few hours
 We'll it takes an Alaska Editor to get right back at the Senator This editor is Frank DeLoughery, of the Seward Seaport Record and here is what he has to say in recent issue of his paper:
 Oklahoma's Senator Elmer Thomas statements to Senate appropriations committee this week has caused widespread comment throughout Alaska.
 Senator Thomas very evidently is one of those people who believe the only way to make their own possessions look better is to down what other people have.
 Any person who has spent as many hours in Okla homa as MT Thomas did in Alaska is well qualified to take issue with his opinion
 This writer spent four long and miserable months in Oklahoma and that the only place hes ever stooo in anke-deep mud and could not see forty rect pe- cause of dust in his eyes, or hear the orders rom the C. O. because of the bowling wind Not just few hours of it-four months!
 It might be a good idea to instigate an eouca- tional fund to take care of such people why not send him few pounds of potatoes from Hope, Palmer Kena Homer or any other agricultural sec- tion of Alaska? A few heads of lettuce and some turnips, carrots rutabagas, quart or so of rasp- herries large enough so he wouldn't recognize them for what they really are, could be pitched into the program It could make no difference where the products come from, long as it's Alaska
 Last but not least and by all means let's give the man leg to stand on Send him few heaos or cabbage There is no doubt that he could find at least one from Oklahoma that would be of good size ana a lot solder than any we produce in Alaska

Secretary of State Henry L. Stim- son on 8-inch- gun cruisers. And there was the bitter attack on Stimson's war record, carried on subrcsa by the admirals.
 There was also the leak of a secret naval document regarding dirigible bases by Adm. Joseph M. Reeves, not unlike the leak by Capt. Crommelin today. And there was the shameless way in which cer- tain naval advisers to the Coolidge Naval Conference in 1927 conspired with William Baldwin Shearer, lobbist for American steel manu- lecturers and shipbuilders, to de- feat the policies of their command erin Chief, MT Coolidge.
 Looking back over the last three decades, the Navy has battled much more. vigorously against its Re- publican Commanders-in-C Chief than against the Democrats. This is partly because, under Franklin ID. Roosevelt, former Assistant Naval Secretary, there was. almost nothing the Navy wanted that it could not get.
 Even regarulng uniforms, FDR bowed to the admirals. Because of the scarcity of textiles during the war, his Secretary of the Navy, the late Frank Knox, had banned a new blue-gray summer uniform. Whereupon, Fleet Commander Ad- miral Ernie King walked into the White House and reversed Knox in tive minutes.
 One reason the admirals are so irate today, of course, is that their inside drag with the White House is no more. Not only was Harry Truman an artillery captain dur ing World War I, but his very close friend, Maj. Gen Harry Vaughan, is interested in the army, not the navy.

RATES LOWERED
 FOR WINTER BY ALASKA }. S. GO.

New low winter round-trip fares on vessels of the Alaska Steamship Company are now in effect ce- tween Alaska ports and Seattle, according to announcement receiV- ed from H. N. Peterson, General Traffic Manager.
 The new passenger rates, which went into effect yesterday. offer the lowest steamship fares available to Alaskans since 1941. The saving is approximately 20 percent.
 New winter rates allow 12O days after the southbound sailing be- fore boarding ship in Seattle for the return providing the north bound embarkation is not later than May 15, 1950).
 Another low winter rate is of special advantage to passengers taking their cars for a stateside vacation Automobiles now may be checked as baggage, at new flat rates-an innovation in Alaska pas senger travel, which offers a con-. siderable saving compared to the charges on a weight basis.
 Fall and winter sailings of the Baranof and Denali now are avail able at the Alaska Steamship Com pany Office.

THE ADMIRALs STILL LEAK

Reading a book written IT years ago, I came across this paragraph ::
 Leaks are mong the admirals' most effective means Of propagan- dizing. When a White House de- cision has gone against them, when the State Department is carrying on negotiation which the ad- mirals oppose, when they fail to get their full appropriation, then the safest and best strategy is to leak.
 They do this to the press or to a discreet member of Congress. Both channels are effective. A furore is stirred up. The President or the State Department is pie tured as stripping the country of it's defense and barring it's bosom to the enemy and after all the furore has subsided. the admirals usually find themselves on top"
 That statement, written by this columnist in 1882 in the book More Merry Go Round" is equal ly true today. It is true regarding the Captain Crommelin leaks; and it is true regarding the leaks to Congressman Van Zandt, the Naval Reserve officer who so grossly i- beled Secretary of Air Symington

transfer to other branches. It was the admirals, however, who pulled the wires on Capitol Hill to pre- vent this transfer
 Not much is said about it, and the report is still secret, but real trouble with the Navy today IS the Bikini bomb test. When cruisers and battleships were found to have been radioactive months after Bl- kini, and finally had to be taken out in the sea and sunk, you can understand why the Navy is get ting out-of- date. Bikini vessels which came within range of the atomic fumes couldn't even be saved for scrap iron. That's the key to the admirals' woes.

ADMIRAL'S DAY IN COURT

The public has largely forgotten i it. but twice the Navy has been given complete and lengthy hear ings by Congress, and each time Congress ruled against the Navy Following which the Admirals re- fused to accept the Congressional decision.
 In 1946-47 Congress held protract- ed hearings regarding unificatlon of the Armed Forces. The Navy was vigorously opposed. One of the admirals testifying against uni fication at that time was Adm Gerald F. Began, who, apparently forgetting his own testimony, wrote letter, recently leaked to the press, in which he complained that the Navy never had a hearing.
 However, after months of hear ings and after listening to anyone who wanted to testify, Congress vot- ed for unification. In a civilian form of government, it is the Con- gress, not the Navy, which is sup posed to have the final word.
 Again last winter further hear ings were held on unification, but again Congress voted against them, frightened unification.

CAVALRY AND EMPHASIZES


 Admirals Began, Radford and Denfeld now complain that morale in the Navy is low. That is true.
 However, during the 1946-47 hear ings, Congressmen proposed that naval officers have the right to transfer to the Air Forces or any branch of the Army with equal pay and rank. or with even greater pay and rank-if justified. This provision was inserted because it was forseen that battleships and surface vessels, now easy targets for atomic bombs, would be put out of commission and there should be some place for naval officers to go.
 The situation was considered similar to that in the Army when cavalry and horse drawn artillery became outmoded Cayalrymen and any other officer in an outmoded branch of the service were permit ted to transfer to the expanding Air Forces, sometimes with a pro- motion.
 But when Congress proposed that naval officers be allowed to transfer to the Army or Air Force, the ad- mirals opposed At their behest this provision was taken out of the unification bill.
 That is the real reason why mor- ale is low in the Navy. The in- escapable fact is that the battle ship is woefully out of date, and the Navy would even like to lay up the Missouri--if President Truman would consent. Thus naval officers have no other branch of the service to which they can transfer No wonder they are discouraged.

BIKINI BOMB TEST IS KEY

Again, early this year, whens the new unification bill was under con- sideration, it was proposed that the naval officers have the right ito transfer to the >sr Force or the Army; but again tNe naval lobby opposed.
 So naval officers find themselves in the same position the old-fash- toned cavalryman would have been in, had he not been permitted to

Our Foreign Policy

A wise foreign statesman who
has been looking things over pauses
to remark: Americans foreign
policy is beginning to be Americas
fiscal policy"
Nobody knows what our fiscal
policy will be. Members Of Con-
gress and Administrator Chiefs
admit that our country is having a
business setback, right now. And
no one knows how far this busi-
ness setback will go. If business
as whole picks up there will have
to be great increase in employ
fnent in this country within very
short time from today. President
Truman's entire foreign program
is disputed in Congress. Even the
European Recovery Program and
the North Atlantic Pact are facing
troubles.
Those two programs have the
support of the American people and
the dispute regarding them hinges
largely on "how much money will
it take?" The possibilities are that
the Appropriations plans of the
Senate and House will cut to some
extent. In this connection it il

Things To Think About


The National Insurance Program
is being attacked in Washington.
The Bishop of Toledo, Ohio, came
to Washington and said that the
Catholic Church is backed by many
competent authorities who fear
that an exclusive state system un-
der a compulsory tax will neces-
sarily involve a loss of freedom for
the voluntary health agencies and
put an end to private initiative to
the detriment of the nation"
President Truman wants to ex-
pand the Federal program and build
new hospitals and medical training
structures all over the country.
The estimates indicate that the
Federal Government would blow in
about $500, 100000 year for this
''socialized" scheme.
incidentally, the discussion OF
this health plan brings out sta
tistics showing that half of the
AZ 100000 wage earners in this
country are earning less than $5,-
600 a year and do not pay income
taxes.

Big City Behind
In Five Arts

NEW YORK-(AP)-New York,
which has long boasted that it is
the nations center for creative
writing, is apparently being out
stripped by Toledo, Ohio. and Los
Angeles, Calf.
An analysis of $4,000 entries
thus far in the National Five Arts
competition is being sponsored by
the National Five Arts Award, Inc,
non-profit organization, to stim-
ulate creative writing. Prizes to-
falling 100000 in cash and fellow
ships are to be awarded for the
best novel, play short story, movie
synopsis popular song radio cript
and short short story.
Officials are somewhat puzzled
about certain aspects of the sud
den increase in composition. For
one thing, there have been very
/ few songs written by women, yet
the two sexes are running neck to
neck in this division.
Movie writing has also been-con-
sidered largely a male field, but
the girls have submitted the bulk
of scenarios. Men are in the lead
only in the full length play and in
radio scrips.
An analysis of entries also
shows that the South and Midwest
lead the country in popular sons
entries, while New York and New
England are tops in plays and ra
dio scripts.
Other leading sources of entries
besides Toledo and Los Angelo,
are in order Miami, Newport News

The Presidents Program


WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 29-
Some of our Democratic Senators
Seem depressed because they fear
that President Truman's program
submitted to Congress will be
knocked into a cock-hat.
There has been good deal of
cheap advice in the Washington
newspapers to the effect that Pres
ident Truman and his supporters in
Congress should go home and tell
their constituents that wicked Re-
publican members of Congress are
holding up the Presidents pro-
gram.
That isn't convincing when one
stops to realize that the Democrats
control both Houses of Congress. If
they agree on a program there are
enough of them to pass all, or part
of the Presidents legislation
without Republican help.
The Presidents program runs up
against stone wall so far as the
efforts to scuttle the Hartley
law goes. More than that, there
are enough Democrats that stood
by the Hartley Act in the S0th
Congress still ready to go to bat
to save that legislation.
Chairman Scott of the Republi-
can National Committee insists that
the Hartley Act will be saved
by the votes of Democratic Sena-
tors who have not changed their
minds since they helped override
two separate labor act vetoes by
the President in the 80th Congress
John L. Lewis, William Green
and other labor bosses will likely
have the skids put under them

was deeply opposed to any such
action because he believed that it
would be in the direction of "regi-
mentation of the Nations schools"
He introduced large number of
letters from Wisconsin that oppos-
ed any effort on the part of FEEDER
al Bureaucrats to set the policy,
program, and cost of our schools"
And one of these letters hit the
nail on the head when it said that
"misinformed people do not real
ize the threat involved to our Am
erican public school system and
our tradition of decentralized re-
sponsibility in Government and in
Education"
In the early 1905 there was a
political war in Wisconsin between
parochial and public schools. In the
end the public school system came
out on top. And any attempt in the
last so years to isolate the parents
and taxpayers of the Badger State
from local schools has never made
any impression on the people of
that state. All of which places the
responsibility on every community
to provide methods and plans for
the education of the young people
as they grow up. The responsibility
rents upon different localities, from
the country school to the village
school, and the city school. Ac-
cording to our memory that policy
has been definitely and permanent
ly established in Wisconsin. Sena-
tor Wiley is assuming it to be part
of his duty in Washington to keeI
the public school system under the
control of local government. The
State of Wisconsin is ready to do 6
little pinch-hitting, if necessary.

Increased Car Production

The Automobile Manufacturers
Association reports that passenger
car output has stepped up one-third
since the beginning of the year. APP
parently there is unprecedented
strength in the market for new cars
for the reason that there are near
ly 13 million cars and nearly 215
million trucks over ten years old
that are due to be replaced.
Believe it or not the records show
that there are more people than
ever before who can afford motor
vehicles, and employment is up 20
per cent and the population of the
u. S. A. has risen 1S million since
1941.
