Value of Probe
(Anchorage NeWS)

Anchorage NeWS)
 While the investigation of the special legislative committee into the functioning of the still new Aero nautics of the Territory produced great hue anc cry individuals sought to clear their posi- tions, the salient accomplishments of the study and recommendations may have been lost
 So far as many are concerned the investigation cleared" Stanley McCutcheon of anything extralega in connection with his participation as an employee of the board We are happy that it did but the value of the report went much farther than that despite Rep. Warren Taylors castigaton of his col league Marcus Jensen of the committee. Mir. Taylor accused Jensen of releasing half truths. s.f+
 So far as we are concerned, however, Jensen re- leased the full import of the investigation in the first release when he set forth the following invaluable recommendations
 l. That legislation be enacted allowing the
 Commission to elect it's own Chairman
 g. That all contract awards be passed
 upon by legal talent, such as the Highway En-
 gineer, the Attorney General, and one mem
 Der of the Commission prior to awarding the
 same
 g. That the accounting methods prescrib
 ed by the Civil Aeronautcs Administration be
 set up by the Director soon as it can be
 done. It is urgent that these books of account
 be set up by the Director and that he be furn-
 ished the necessary forms for such books for
 reports to the Civil Aeronautics Administration
 These are salient points. They are move to halt the growing of passing more and more power to bureaus of the and hence to the establish ment of a government of experts more and more re- moved from the people who made the laws
 It is not right that in few short months 'slnce last Julv) one individual authorize expenditures of some $193 900 no matter what the end to be gained might be- In this instance it was the speedy con str,ction of aviation fields in Alaska which we all know are of vital importance. Yet the commissioner no mater how genuine his purpose may be, was gwen far too much freedom with public funds in the execu- act lions made in the report are adhered to, field con- et,,ction may be slowed down slightly but MT schwamm Mir McCutcheon, Mrs. Ryan and others never fear criticism again.

Bowling is one of the big sports in Juneau winter |tme at least and the following editorial from the St Louis Star Times will be read with interest by all |sports lovers here: 1.e.4ss

Congressional Economy"

While Congress breaches econ- omy and prepares to slash another billion dollars from the civilian functions of the government, con- gressmen have indulged in a cer- tain brand of economy that bene- fits themselves, but not Uncle Sam
 They are evading the Is per cent transportation tax which every other citizen of the U. S. has to pay. The way they do this is by claiming their trips are on govern ment business, when actually they are private.
 Worst offenders are Senator Will jam Langer, North Dakota Repub- ncan; Congressman Homer Angel Oregon Republican, and Congress- man Abraham Multer, New York Democrat
 Legally, they cannot escape the travel tax unless the government actually pays their fare. And if they are travelling on Congressional business, that committee must in- itiate the exemption request.
 However, Langer, Angell and Multer have been signing their own exemption certificates, using form that the Bureau of Internal Revenue had ruled not legal for members of Congress Ticket offi- ces have been advised not to ac- cept this form from U s. senators and congressman, but Langer, An gell and Multer have disregarded the warnings of ticket girls.
 In fact, Congressman Angel even started to write out an exemption certificate for his wife when he bought airplane tickets to oregon for Easter vacation. The ticket girl protested that neither he nor his wife were entitled to the tax deduction, but Angell brushed aside the girls objections 1
 How much would I save on my wife's ticket?" he demanded.
 
 The girl figured about $22
 Well, never mind" Angel de- cided, and finally paid his wife's tax.
 Afterward, when this column asked Congressman Angel why he did not pay the transportation tax on his ticket. he protested that he was violating no law, though he also admitted that the girl at the transportation desk had warned him. When reminded that on the tax-exemption certificate there was printed in boldface type: Penalty for fraudulent use, Sl0,000 or inn prisonment or both" he protested that he would refund the money to the government if he was wrong. Later he did.
 Other senators and congressman have been buying tickets in their home states and also using the illegal form to evade the trans portation tax They have found
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-06-07

that the ticket offices outside of Washington are less familiar with the law.
 The violations have been reported to the Bureau of Internal Revenue, but no action has been taken. The bureau will prosecute private citi- zens for tax violation, but just doesn't like to tangle with mem- bers of Congress. For instance, ex-Congressman Parnell Thomas now in jail, was just as guilty of -ineeme-tax -evasfeas as of kiekbacks
 But the U. s. Treasury has failed
 to prosecute. Nor has it prosecuted General Vaughans friend John Maragon, who perpetrated a glaring and clear-cut income-tax fraud.

General DonOvan's Interview

Senator Mccarthy and Roy How ard of the Scripps- Howard news papers don't know it yet, but Gen. eral Wild Bill' Donovan, famed wartime chief of OSS, let then down on the Amerasia stolen doc uments case.
 General Donovan, a fellow Re- publican, was ballyhooed as backing up the Mccarthy -Scripps- Howard . charges. When interviewed by a Senate committee shortly before leaving for Europe, however, he talked much more like Senator Margaret Chase Smith of Maine who decries Mccarthy extremism In fact, Gen. Donovan inferen- tially criticized his own OSS in- vestigator, Frank Bielaski for ille- gally raiding the Amerasia office and the FBI for illegally raiding Emmanuel Larsens apartment. As a result of these illegal raids, the Justice Department could not pros- ecute.
 ], Here is exactly what the Senate investigators reported to the con- mittee after their interview with Donovan at his New York apart ment, 4 Sutton Place:
 1 General Donovan asked if we had talked with Archbold Van Buren Chis wartime deputy, and when we replied in the affirmative he indicated that his information was no more than that which Van Buren probably gave us -.
 General Donovan discussed lis belief at the time that John Doe warrants should have been obtained and statements under oath gotten from the principals the investi- gators report continues. He in dicated that he felt that the mat ter was incorrectly handled, because when any agency conducts an in- vestigation, the matter does not remain confidential and opportAn- ity to cover up arises. General Donovan mentioned that in discussing the matter with Fred Lyon (of the State Depart menD, he asked if the State De- partment had any idea who might have been responsible for this ma- terial secret documents) emanat- ing from the State Department. When he pressed MT Lyon for some suggestions or suspicious, MT Lyon suggested that it might have been John Carter Vincent. Gen eral Donovan then queried us as to whether Vincent did not have wife who was a Communist"
 Throughout the interview, Dono- van made it clear he had no new evidence but that his attitude was that of a Margaret Chase Smith Republican who didn't relish un- fair accusations.
 Continuing, the investigators re- port declares: Donovan suggested

that we should see Pat Hurley (former ambassador to China) Shortly after the discovery of tho Amerasia case, General Donovan went to London and met Pat Hur- ley at the airport there, Hurley be- ing on his way to Moscow ano China. Donovan told Hurley what Fred Lyon had said about Vincent because he knew that Hurley thought Vincent was his boy.''
 That was about all Donavan hao to say. In fact. he seemed in 2 hurry to get off to Europe.

Employment in this area was

down to 1000. So acute is the
situation in this industrial area
80 miles west of Detroit that an
emergency meeting was held
Dec. 81 to consider action. Rep
resented were labor, manage

agencies. A three-point program
outlined at the meeting has been
endorsed by the UAW-CIO. The
points:
Declaring Washtenaw county
an emergency area to permit al
location of federal contracts to
restore full employment; ending
of any unemployed;
mobilizing full state and County
resources to meet current needs.
In the area a industrial
plants, including Kaiser-Frazer,
have been closed for months.
Employees of many have ex-
hausted jobless benefits, and
now need direct relief. Welfare
officials do not know how long
they can meet the needs. A state
official said conditions make
1882 look like a time of plen-
ty."
