WHAT ABOUT OUR TANKS

Press dispatches from the Korean war front make
mention of improved tanks of the Russians and
the Cincinnati Enquirer editoriay that when the
tension of the cold famed in actual battle in
Korea some observers warned that the might
be using the campaign "test tube war" to gain
a preview of American armament. Their advice was
that the United States should be very wary about
exposing" our best weapons in that limited theatre.
Events have made such advice more than slightly
ironic, While the Communists have not seen fit to
contest our power very strenuously they have put
into the field that has made own tanks

the fighting recently told of Russian tanks

MRS. FORBES BOOSTS
ATlIN FOR VACATIONS

A booster for her town of Attn
for fishing or just for a rest-Mrs.
Neil Forbes, managing director OF
the Columbia Development Com
pany, in Juneau for the last week, is
urging Juneauites to drive to Attn
for vacations.
The highway from Whitehorse to
Atlin is in excellent condition. ut
is beautiful drive, through beauti-
full country" Mrs. Forbes said.
Fishing is wonderful. The high
way has made Little Atlin Lake &C
cessible. 1t is full of fish-in fact it
has never been fished and there is
camp there now for fishermen put
up by Johnny Johns, famous guide"
Since the highway has been
opened, more travellers are visiting
the little mining town-almost a
ghost town now, than in many
years. 1t is wise to make reservations
at the Roxboroughs' Kootenay Inn
ahead of time, Mrs. Forebs said.
Anyone who has been in Atlin will
agree that any luxury lacking in ac-
commodations at the Kootenay is
made up for by the famous hos
pitality of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Roxborough - Aunt and Uncle to
most of the town and many of the
visitors.
Though Atlin has ghost-town
status now, it still has mine in
operation with a crew of about 10
men. Many millions in gold have
been produced in Atlin since gold
rush days but the town which once
had a population of thousands is
now village of few hundred.
Several individual operators still
mine in the area, proving that there
is gold in the hills if one will work
to get it out.
Mrs. Forbes son, James H. East
man III is mining engineer, a re-
cent graduate of the University Of
British Columbia He is following in
the footsteps of his late father, De-
troit mining man who brought a
fleet of Eastman flying boats into
Atlin 18 years ago with plans to
use them for prospecting. After his
death several years ago, Mrs. East
man married Neil Forbes, wellknown
mining man, and continued the OPP
Grafton of her husbands company.
But it is of Atlin as vacation
spot to drive to or fly to that Mrs.
Forbes would rather talk. 1T is a
wonderful place for rest. The
scenery and the fishing are won
derful and the people are hos
pitable." AS anyone who has been
there will agree.
Mrs. Forbes, who came to Juneau
for medical attention, leaves today
for Whitehorse and the drive over
the highway to her home in Atlin.
Of course the people in Atlin are
hoping, now, for road up the
Taku river from Juneau.

Pan American Always Battle

Some light on who paid Shimon
to tap the wires of Senator Bailey
may be shed, however, by recalling
the fact that Shimon also tapped
Howard Hughes wires at the
height of the controversy between
Pan American Always and Hughes
Trans World Airlines. At that
time, Senator Brewster of Maine,
great friend of Pan American, was
chairman of the Senate committee
investigating Hughes. Furthermore,
the police officers who helped
Shimon tap Hughes wire have
mentioned Pan American Always
in one of their supplemental re-
ports to the Justice Department.
1t is also disclosed that 1t.
Shimon instructed the three police
men working for him especially
to listen for any conversation re-
gc-ding Trans World Airlines and
aviation.
In other words, the District of
Columbia police were tapping the
wires of a private citizen, Hughes,
at the behest of Pan AIMS friend
Senator Brewster, in order to pick
up trade secrets about TWA which

Pulp Situation in Alaska
(Sitka SentielO


At first thought the development of the pulp in
stry in Alaska appears likely to be hampered by the
Korean Situation with the United States turning every
resource to re-arming for any contingency II Is
natural suppostion that the pulp mill for Stka Will
be by-passed once again
But deeper investigation proves that part OF the
preparedness campaign calls for quantities OF paper
and rayon products This combined with the desire
of the military to substantially increase the population
of Alaska will make it imperative to arrange some
tyne of government subsidy either by long term low
interest loans or a tax incentive program
1t is an accepted military principle that popu-
ous region is much easier to defend than sparsey
settled country World War II consumed great deal
of the potential of the established pulp re-
gions and following the close OF the war; the demand
for pulp increased substantially SO there mas oeen
little chance to increase reserves.
While it may take few months before any action
results it is feasible and logical from the defense
standpoint for the government to insist that pup
mills he established to take advantage OF Alaskan
timber resources and thereby increase the aVallaole
supply of this vital product

might be helpful to TWAS rival,
Pan American.
Meanwhile, Brewster was publicly
grilling TWAS Hughes in Senate
investigation during which it de-
veloped that Brewster had pre-
viously urged Hughes to consol-
idate with Pan American. Hughes
! had vetoed the consolidation. and
| it looked as if the Senate probe
i was his punishment for refusal to
agree.
Spying on Bailey
Senator Bailey's tapped wire fits
right into this picture. The late
senator from North Carolina was
chairman of the interstate and
domestic commerce committee
which passed on aviation policy.
Brewster was a member of this
committee, and had pushed the
chosen instrument" bill, policy
devised and urged on Congress by
Pan American.
This bill would have eliminated
competition between U. S. Airlines
Overseas; would have picked one
chosen" line instead to handle all
U. S. air traffic abroad. 1t was
when this bill was under consider
alton that Senator Baileys wires
were tapped by the D. c. police.
Bailey was opposed to Brewster's
and Pan Americans plan of a
chosen instrument" Instead, he
stuck to the old principle of free
American competition. Senator
Brewster, who was trying to change
his mind, once flew to Raleigh,
N. c., in a special Pan American
plane to argue with Chairman
Bailey, but he refused to bulge.
Partly because of Bailey's oppos-
ition, Brewster's chosen instru-
ment" bill was defeated. But dur
ing the debate, it now develops
that Senator Bailey was subjected
to police-state housekeeping by
the police of a city which is sup
posed to be the exact opposite of
Moscow.
And the police lieutenant who
tapped Bailey's telephone now con-
tinues to hold one of the most
important jobs on the police force,
while the Justice Department has
let the overlapping report gather
dust for nine months.
Meanwhile Senator Nicely of
West Virginia, Democratic chair
man of the District of Columbia
committee, SHES away from a probe
of police tapping
Note-Pan American Anyways now
appears headed toward the attain
ment of it's chosen Instrument"
goal, despite it's defeat by Congress.
Thanks to maneuvering by Secre-
tary of Defense Johnson and
White House Secretary Matt Con-
nelly, President Truman has just
reversed the Civil Aeronauties
Board and ruled that Pan Amer
lean can swallow up American
Overseas Airlines. Truman also
gave Pan Am the choice routes to
Paris and Rome-a long step to-
ward eliminating competition and
giving Pan Am the monopoly it
has long coveted
Every agency of the government
opposed the Pan Elerican Over
seas merger, but Truman ignored
their advice.
