 That "The Alaska Steamship Company virtually controls the economy of Alaska has been said too many times by the Governor for the phrase not to have familiar ring when it is repeated by the At torney General of the United States in his statements regarding the antitrust prosecutions
 Whether it is an eventual socialzation of the steamship business Alaska that is planned by the administration, whether it is definite ire as re- gards the Alaska Steamship Company that is back of the fight of MT Gruenng against the Alaska Steam we do not know.
 We do know that bills to create a Territorial Shipping Authority have been introduced in various Legislatures In 1s49 it was Senate Bill "A by Sen ators Rivers and McCutcheon entitled "An Act to create public shipping authority to be known the Alaska Transportation Authority to define its powers and duties to authorize public bodies to contract with said authority, etc." RNsE. <. i
 The bill died by indefinite postponement in second reading by vote of Il to S. The five votes for the bill which would have put the Territory in the shipping business were Senator Edward Anderson, Nome, and Senators Huntley Engebreth McCutcheon and Rivers all of the Third Division.
 Whether the fight against Captain Lathrop is because he is an important political figure in the Territory who with fortnight honesty has opposed statehood for Alaska because he can see no way TOT the taxpayers of Territory to the costs of statehood, don't know.
 We do know that back in 1s4l, Captain Lathrop together with other prominent anti-administratlon persons were subpect investigation for alleged ob- bying during the 194l Session of the Legislaturean investigation nstigated there is little doubt by Gov Gruening. And Capt. Lathrop who has put every penny he has in the Territory back into business to further develop Alaska, is now principal in the busting eases.

 There are lot of people who are paying for being 1 per cent against Gov. Gruening, whose modesty as regards his influence cannot be taken too seriously.

REPRISALS?

Anyone who is even fanty familiar with the manner in which the present administration plays its game of politics will take with the usual grain of salt Governor Gruenngs statement that far as the grand jury proceeding in Anchorage concerned he knows "only what I read in the papers,
 From the moment the first subpoenas in the antitrust" cases issued, indications have been that it was all political scheme to punish certain people who did go along with the administrations plans for statehood, for Territorial liquor control or for mere taxes on fisheries.
 Punish the interess"-the vested" interests, has been the battle cry of MT. Guening since l941.

Unique Law Partner

It is also interesting that Con- gressman Wood kept his law part ner, Carl Tallant on the govern ment payroll as his office assistant for s7,O22
 Even the greenest congressman knows that it is illegal for a con- greSsman to take a fee in any case against the government; nor is his law office supposed to take such fee if the congressman Is in any way involved.
 Most congressman separate them selves from their law offices as soon as they are elected, as for instance, Senator McMahon of Con- necticut. However, Woods law partner sits right in the congress- mans office. drawing a $7,022 sal ary from the taxpayers And en- toying this unique capacity, he ex- acted a fee of Sl,000 from crippled Ralph Stanfield, immediately after the latter received his government compensation.
 No wonder Congressman Wood immediately told the boys father to keep the matter very quiet.

California Crime

One of the most crushing de- feats in the history of California politics was administered last week to the Republican Attorney Gen. eral Fred N. Howser. Not only was he overwhelmingly defeated for the Democratic nomination, but he also ran last for the nomina- tion in his own party.
 This was significant fact in the California crime cleanup. For while Governor Warren has done his best to clean up California $ serious crime cancer, he has been powerless to do much because of the fact that his attorney general is independent of the governor and solely in charge of state law en- forcement.
 The attorney general race, there fore, was locally almost as import ant as the race for governor; and here is one backstage factor re- sponsible for Howser's crushing ce- feat
 Two years ago this commentator called Howser the friend of the gamblers, and described some of his alleged operations with the gamblers, Howser waited about a

Nomad Prisoners

A heart-lending story of how 106 Jewish refugees, who fled first from the Nazis, then from the Commu- nists, finally landed at Ellis Island, was unfolded to President Truman the other day by Rep. Nanny Gel Ter of New York.
 The refugees escaped Nazi tyran- ny before the war and settled in Shanghai. Then a new terror be- set them as the Red Army overran China Again they fled-this time hoping to find sanctuary in the United States
 However, immigration authorities | at San Francisco couldn't clear them since they had no passports. So the 106 homeless men, women and children were put aboard a sealed" train and taken across the continent to Ellis Island for deportation back to Germany.
 During the trip they looked out
 of the train windows at what to
 them was land of dreams. They could see the majestic Rockies, the
 broad prairies, the fertile, we'll kept Iowa farmland, the Mississ- ippi. the great industries of the
 east.
 But they couldn't leave the train The doors were locked and guarded "The tragic thing is that they
 are so close and yet so far from the one thing they seek-freedom, |" Celler explained to the President.
 Though in the greatest home of liberty, they are still prisoners.

year and then sued for libel. h.
 side fact is that he didn't want to sue, actually wrote letter to his Washington attorneys, Herbert
 Bingham and Roger Robb, pointing
 out that a California court had in-
 dicted some of his agents in con-
 nection with the gambling racket,
 therefore the suit might not be wise.
 Bingham and Robb, however wrote back that this shpuld not deter him from suing Pearson; so the suit was filed.
 Later, however, when Attorney
 General Howser's deposition and others were taken, one phase of my charges against him were proved-namely, that he was a friend of the gamblers. With this part of his libel suit obviously lost, Howser went into court and asked permission tc drop this part of his case, and
 Justice Bolitha Laws, of the U. g. District of Columbia Court, let him get away with it.
 However, the fact that Howser had stuck his neck out by claim ing he was not the friend of gam blers and then, by withdrawing one part of his suit, was forced to admit, in effect, that he was the friend of gamblers was not lost on the voters of California. They let him have it with both barrels and on both tickets.
