THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR
 ALASKA STATEHOOD

number of very well known people are listed as members of the National Committee for Alaska Statehood.
 The names of ninety-fve of these notabes-play- wrigfts and poiticians-clubwomen and comedians military men and mammy singers-grace the letter head of the Alaska Statehood Committee. And it is an impressive roster of Very Important Persons,
 But we doubt that these names will impress Alaskans None of the ninetyfive is an Alaskan and very few of them have been in the Territory Oneshas not even resided in the United States for nearly fifteen years
 And why there should be nearly one hundred members of national committee and only eleven Alaska Committee members, we don't know.
 It's long list but here it is for your inspection Be Sure to be properly impressed:
 Ellis Amall, Gen. H. H Arond' Rex Beach", Dave Beck Adolf A. Berle Jr., Francis Riddle, Sarah Gibson Banding Harold Boeschenstein, Gov. John w. Bon- ner, Joe E. Brown Belmore Browne Mrs. J. L. Blair Buck Pearl S. Buck.

Adm, Louis Denfeld as Chief of Naval Operations last year, he also planned to oust Gen. Clifton Gates as commandant of the Marine Corps.
 Gates was a strong ally of Den field in the B-36 row between the Navy and the Air Force. However, public reaction to Denfelds custer was so hot that the President |ehafigan his mind haboht Relieving General Gates.
 Net result was that no love has been lost between MT. Truman and the Marine Corps commander; so that the President-who has a long memory for those who ever cross him-was not anxious to eat crow last week.
 When General Gates was called to the White House, therefore, he got formal though polite greet ing. Speaking little stiffly, the Commander-ln- n-Ch1ef told the Ma rine Corps commander that he was making a public apology to the Marines flor the good of the country" and the war effort. He added that he had been too nasty and his words were too strong.
 However, he felt that there were some grounds for his reference to the Marines propaganda activities. As an instance, he cited the terri fic pressure he was getting to give the Marines voice on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. h
 Note-General Gates, himself, has not been averse to this pressure. If the Marines were made part of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he would become the Marine Corps repre- sentative on it

Skipping a Good Neighbor

Last spring flags along Constitu- tion Avenue read welcome Con- zalez Videla" as the President of Chile paid an official visit to the U. s. A. a good part of Washington turned out, plus President Truman and all the cabinet to greet the head of the neighbor nation which had banned Communism and was considered one of the best Demo- cratic friends of the United States.
 President Videla did not ask for anything when he came to Wash ington. He did not need to. For the State Department has long known that what Chile wants most is to have our cents per pound excise tax on copper held in abey- ance.
 All during the war. because we needed copper badly, this tax was held in abeyance. since what it actually amounted to was penalty against the American people and the U. s. Arny-Nayy.
 Shortly after President yideia had gone back to Chile, however, Con- gress literally slapped him in the face by restoring the tax against copper Reyerberations from below the Rio Grande were painful and quite serious.
 Since then the House of Repre- sentatives has voted to suspend the { tax; but, despite repeated urging by President Truman, the Senate has not.

Free Lobbying Mail

There was at least one senator who, though agreeing with the pol itical theories of lobbyist Edward Rumely and his committee for constitutional government, refused to euchre the public out of extra money through abuse of the frank ing privilege. He is Sen. Harry Byrd of Virginia.
 Some senators, however, includ- ing Dick Russell of Georgia, did not object to the idea of using their free mailing privilege to send lob bying propaganda for the ex-Ger- man agent through the mails.
 Here are interesting notes from the letters of Homer Dodge, Wash ington representative, to his boss, pr. Rumely, convicted of being an agent of the Kaiser in World War I:
 Senator Russell was very cordial and will frank the Richberg state ment if necessary He would rather not as he is up for election this year. He referred me to Senator Eastland Mississippi who also is up for election but who does not expect any labor votes and does not need any I sincerely hope we can find new senator in Mir. Eastland who will cooperate on extensions and franking, as in an election year especially, so many members of both Houses appear to be terrified of charges of misuse of privileges.
 Senator Byrd surprised me by saying there is a law against send ing franked envelopes out of Wash ington and he will not disregard it. He mentioned what he called difficulty with the misuse of the frank by former Senator Burke The matter of the Richberg exten- sion is now back in Senator East lands hands and he is to discuss it further with Senator Russell. All three, including Byrd, think the ad- dress will be widely circulated rather think Senator Russell will be the one who will agree in the end"

 This is the raw material Of totalitarianism," he said.
 While fighting the intolerance Of totalitarianism, he emphasized, we must not take on the methods Of totalitarianism. Recalling that to- talitarian regimes had persecuted labor unions, religious groups and fraternal organizations, he pointed out that under the Alien and Sedi- tion Act, naturalized citizens hardly dared say anything in public about the government for fear of being thrown in jail, and this, he in- ferred, might also happen under the Mundt-Nixon and McCarran bills.

Tom Connally, who has made speech after speech championing the good neighbor pol icy, in this case has voted the other way.

WASHINGTON, Delegat

WASHINGTON, P- Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said today he is optimistic that the Senate will approve legislation to authorize construction of the $20,000,000 Eklutna power project in Alaska.
 When the bill came up in the Senate two weeks ago, Senator Mcclellan D.-ArkD objected to its consideration. He did so, he said, because of a difference of opinion over whether the army engineers or the reclamation bur eau should build such projects in the Territory.
 Bartlett said he since has con- ferred with Mcclellan and that the Senator indicated he would not renew his objection when the bill is called up again.
