BrOadside Attack

BrOadS1de Attack
In his own broadside attack, de-
livered in a Senate speech Tuesday
Schoeppel also had charged Com
munist infiltration into leadership
of the fight for Alaskan statehood
Several of those he accused have
made documented denials, and the
others are waiting their turns tc
make similar denials at an officia
Senate inquiry.
Republican worry mounted when
yesterday, Schoeppel told the Sen
ate Interior Committee which is in
vestigating his charges that he il
marshalling new documents anc
wants to call his own witnesses tt
back up his story.
Chairman O'Mahoney D-Wyo)
who heads the committee, said the
requests would be granted.
Wants Iron Clad
Taft told reporters Schoeppel has
consulted with none of the top COP
leaders who constitute the policy
committee, and the group has
nothing to do with his fight.
Il hope Senator Schoeppel knows
what he's doing" another Repub-
lican leader, declining to be identi-
fled, told a reporter.
MY advice would have been to
accuse nobody of anything unless
you have iron clad proof"
Not Kremlin Agent
At public hearing yesterday
Randolph Feltus former publicity
man for the Alaskan Statehood
Committee, denied Schoeppels
charges that he was or is an
agent of the Kremlin via Warsaw.
He said he is not Communist,
knows no Russians, and that Scho-
eppel's charges are ridiculous
Schoeppel commended Feltus must
have been an agent for the Krem-
lin because he did public relations
work here for Communist Poland.
Feltus retorted that he did Moth
ing disloyal, and that while he
was retained as public relations
man for the Polish Embassy here
he also wrote a letter in 1948 which
26 Republican senators-Schoeppel
being one of them-signed and sent
to the White House urging that the
United States back Indonesla S
fight with the Netherlands.
He suggested that guilt by asSo-
ciation' is something that can cut
both ways"
Bow to be Called
Schoeppel remained silent through
the testimony, then asked for the
right to bolster his case.
The senator declined to tell re-
porters whom he plans to call as
witnesses, or what documents ne is
readying, except that one witness
will be his administrative assistant,
Frank T. Bow. Bow is a Repup-
lican candidate for Congress III
Ohio, and the man who dug up
most of the information, Schoeppel
said, on which his charges are
based.
| Bow declined to comment.

To Present More Testimony
on Communism in Int.
Dept. Statehood Issue

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-R-The
Senate Republican Policy Commit
tee refused today to back Senator
Schoeppel (R-Kan in his charges
of Communist activity in the In
terror Department.
Senator Taft R-Ohio), chairman
of the group, told reporters "the
policy committee disavows all re-
sponsibility for Senator Schoeppels
charges"
The announcement emphasized
concern with which Republican
leaders viewed Schoeppel's back
firing accusation that Secretary OF
the Interior Chapman, has "a
strong and close personal alliance"
with the Soviet Russian cause.
The Republican National Com
mittee issued a statement yesterday
saying that it had no advance
Knowledge of Schoeppels accusa-

Schoeppel himself has conceded,
after hearing a blistering reply
from Chapman, that his own lang
uage may have been "a little

The .Co7Op'S, board of directors had not decid- ed, at press-time, whether the organization would bid on. the project.
 Army needs are estimated at 1000 gallons. of ice cream month .ly, and 5o,0oo gallons of fresh milk.
 Since there is not sufficient fresh milk in the Territory to meet that demand, the success: full bidder would be required to recombine milk, MT. Wilson said. That is the process by which water is added to powdered milk and whole milk is manufactured again.
 MT. Wilson said it would be number of years before Valley farmers could produce the desired quantity of fresh milk. There is some question in my mind" he stated, whether the Valley farm CT can produce milk in Alaska at price the Army would be will ing to pay for troop issue" The Army now is reported to be pay ing Is cents a quart for fresh frozen milk shipped from the states.
 Total Coop milk production averaged about 30,00O gallons a month during the past year How ever, because number of dairy men have switched to an inde- pendent marketing agent, the 1850 total is expected to fall be- low that figure.

inserting a tube, through which
the patient can breathe.
It was performed on several oc-

lives of battlefield casualties. In
one instance. the operation was
performed with a pocket knife
and the top Of a fountain pen
served as the breathing tube.
