of search and seizure and habeas corpus had been suspended, and probably in this war it would be all right to suspend them for the security of the country?" suggested
 the Massachusetts senator.
 T realized we were at war, some
 one had stolen valuable secrets from us, and I had to try to get them, and l did," Bielaski readily agreed.
 You can't set aside the Consti- tuition in time of war" countered
 Tydings.
 T think they did it in time of
 war. He did it and got away with it." shot back Lodge. T would have done it myself" he added. Constitution Violated Senator McMahon then broke in-
 to the argument, reading from the Constitution. The rightof people | to be secure in their persons

 seizure shall net be violated" he quoted
 Of course my friend from Con- necticut knows that if that had oeen followed, it would be impos-
 sible to protect ourselves" retorted Lodge.
 Let's get this straight" snapped
 McMahon. This case is now ur against legal proposition-in other words, the question of whether ol not you can use the evidence that it is illegally obtained" You can use it." admitted Biel- aski.
 Of course, there can be no doubt 1 about that" snorted the senator | from Connecticut. You cannot sustain any conviction based upon ! evidence that was obtained oI l seized contrary to the Constitution
 No President or anybody else has got the right to suspend the Con- stitution."
 | You know as well as I do that the Constitution has been set aside by Presidents" shot back Lodge Mo- snapped McMahon. President Lincoln set it aside, | insisted Lodge.
 He suspended the writ of habeas corpus, and as matter of fact l no President of the United States
 can set aside the Constitution
 Please take my word for that, | countered McMahon, who had a 1 distinguished record as assistant attorney general. T know what Lincoln did in the Civil War; growled Lodge.
 You can do it but not legally,
 suggested Tydings, as comprom- ! ise. yais ended the argument.

PEACE OR UNPREPAREDNESS

In the world of ideologies, it is very clear to that Soviet Russia breaches yet practices the opposite whereas the United States, which really desires nothing but peace is denounced by Com munistc propaganda for fomenting says the Cin- cinnat Enquirer We repeat, it is very clear to us. But there arises the disturbing thoughts it clear to the rest of the world?

REGISTRATION FOR GIRL SCOUT CAMP
 DUE BEFORE JUNE 1

Girl Scout Eagle River Camp registration should be completed by June 1 at the ot-To-Teen shop, Mrs. Morton Flint, camp chairman, advised today. If possible, the girls should have about $1 week extra for handicrafts and spending mon- ey at the canteen. Camp dates are from June 19 to July 3.
 Day camp registration should also be made at the Tot-To-T Teen shop with the deadline the first week in June. This outdoor schedule for the Brownies will be held July 6, T and 8; and 10, II, 12.
 Ed Nelson, another member of the camp committee urges fathers and other public spirited men to turn out Sunday, June 18, the day before the Eagle River Camp gets under way, to help get the place in shape for the arrival of the girls Ed figures that the fact that this particular Sunday is Fathers Day should be an added spur to these parents to do a good turn rather than sit back and be pampered.

agency which is thriving on the Amerasia publicity, and that he was also involved in the famous Rhode Island wire-tapping scandal of 1940.
 Finally, it is important to note that the newspaper chain which has been constantly and persist ently demanding probe of the Amerasia case-The Scripps-How ard papers-is being sued for libel by Mark Gayn of the Chicago Sun, one of those originally involved in the Amerasia case.
 With this Background in mind here is Bielaski's cloSed-door testi- mony before the Tydings subcom- mittee. First, he described his il- legal raid on the Amerasia Mag azine offices, told how he broke in to the library and saw the table covered with documents.
 This is something I have never repeated in public or anywhere but which I think must be told here" Bielaski confided. An en- velope in the middle of the table was there, and written across the top of it catercornered was the name John Hersey."
 John ?" inquired Tydings, who has been having trouble hear ing with his right ear.
 "H-e-r-s-e-y," Bielaski spelled the name out.
 Tt was not an envelope to my mind that was addressed to him but as you might write your name on an envelope belonging to you, continued Blelaski.
 The eX-OSS agent estimated that the "Hersey envelope" contained 12 to Is documents.

the New York newspaper points out, even the most superficial student of American relations knows that the Russian Government has refused every over ture of peace since 1945 that Russia does not want peace but chaos, disorder, starvation and economic ruin in every democratic country. Every government in the world knows that the American government has no aggressive intent toward any other land
 Yet there always is the possibility that Con- munistic propaganda is selling bill of goods to the popular mind elsewhere in the world. Indeed, this danger may be real than think, if talk about peace has come to be so synonymous with the Com munistic viewpoint!
 The Syracuse Herald Journal suggests great peace movement in this country bossoming into great Amercan-spons meetings throughout the world at which our desire for peace would be emphasized dramatically. It suggests that history conscious Rus sia scarcely would undertake any act of aggression in the face of such movement.
 This may be oversimplicaton of our present world problem: we tend to the fear that it is. However risk little and might gain much through more emphatic statement of goal of world completely at peace. The only thing need fear is that type of peace movement which is aimed only at weak ening this nation and throwing it off guard against the unpredictable of Red imperialism That, alas, is the form most peace movements take.

No Amerasia Connection

Did your investigation show that Hersey was connected in any way with the tAmerasia) magazine?" inquired Tydings.
 No sir" Bielaski admitted.
 "Or that he contributed to the magazine?" pressed the Maryland senator.
 No sir, not thing that showed he had any connection with the magazine at all except for docu- ments in the envelope with his name on it." repeated Bielaski.
 The private detective also backed down when Tydings asked him for information on the "disloyalty of persons in the State Department. !"
 Well, as to that hedged Biel- aski, T have no firsthand knowl- edge of disloyalty of persons in the State Department in connection with the Amerasia case"
 It was also pointed out that the Justice Department couldn't pros ecute the Amerasia case, because Bielaski seized the documents ille- gally. This led to a clash between Republican Senator Lodge of Mass achusetts and Democratic Senator McMahon of Connecticut.

Illegal Entry

Lodge brought it up by asking Bielaski: Under what authority did you conduct the raid on the Amerasia office?"
 T didn't ask for authority at the moment, Senator" confessed Biel- aski. But since, I have thought over the legal position, and I un- derstand that the SS was created by executive order (which provided that it should take care of it's own security"
 This appeared to be weak ex- cuse and Lodge tried to be more helpful.

Under pressure of Filipino pro- paganda and the American beet sugar interests, Franklin D. Roos- evelt supported the concept of in dependence and in 1884, Congress passed such an act to take effect | in 10 years; Philippine independ- ence was not actually proclaimed however, until 1946.
 Meanwhile, the United States and , Japan went to war and the Am erican Army under General Mac Arthur was driven out. The Jap anese conquerors gave the Filipinos very bad time. But Macarthur
 came back he reconquered the islands; he returned the admins tration to a Filipino government friendly toward the United States,
 but wholly independent.
 Now that government is collaps- | ing under the strain of a constant
 revolution conducted by the Huks
 who are a Communist movement
 directed by Soviet Russia.
 The importance of the Philippines to us is that they constitute the southern sector of the Japan-Okl- nawa Philippines line, which is our first line of defense against Soviet
 Russia in the Pacific. If we can
 not hold that line, our West Coast
 becomes the first line of defense, ] If the Philippines go to Russia
 MacArthur's position in Japan, al-
 ready imperiled by our failure In | China, will become untenable. | There is no use waiting until the hammer and sickle fly over i Manila. The time to act is now
 By treaty, this country has. guar
 anteed the independence of the
 Philippines. The time to make that guarantee good is now and the
 way to do .t is to place the Philip
 pines under American control until
 the danger is over.

Communists, the same as the "Ag-
 rarian Reformers" in China are
 Communists. And should the HukS
 with Russian aid and using Amer
 ican arms and munitions which
 they stole from American dumps
 and warehouses, take over, it will
 not be possible for the State De-
 partment to blame it on Chiang
 Kai-Shek. As he has had nothing
 to do with the Philippines, they
 will have to blame themselves for
 their childlike policy in Eastern
 Asia.
 Incidentally, it might be an in-
 teresting study for some congress ional committee to investigate the widespread th eft of American sup plies in the Philippines. It is reported throughout the Far East that huge stores were stolen anc sold to various guerilla and Con- munist armies. Who did the steal l ing? Who aided and abetted the i thieves? What was the total am-
 ount in dollars-not in bookkeeping but in replacement dollars? Somebody in the Administration
 might say: Its just leak Il amounts to nothing" It amounts to enough for the Huks to use ir full-fledged revolution.
 The Philippines came into the possession of the United States after the Spanish American Wal in 1898. General Arthur Mac Arthur, the father of Douglas Mac Arthur, sought to develop the is-
 lands politically and economically into self-governing country. That idea proved unpopular in Wash ington and he was recalled to the United States.
 A Philippines independence movement developed which had g
 radical side led by Emilio Aguin- aldo and liberal side led by Manuel Quezon. Aguinaldo actu- ally tried insurrection and was de- feated. Quezon worked along with the American governors-general The United States sent some good men to the Philippines, the most distinguished of whom was William Howard Taft, afterwards President of the United States.

The G.adGe Roele4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

Baltimore, Maryland is known in the East at least, as the Con vention City" No one knows where it gained that reputation, nor when it began, but there are more conventions held there than any other eastern city. Maybe the reputation for good food, local recipes, fine enter tainment, and historical back ground have been contributing factor in the naming of that old city as the favorite choice for conventions.
 We have been told repeatedly in Seward, that the salvation of this city and the Kenai Penin- sula is to be the tourist trade. What is to prevent Seward from becoming known as the Con vention City, in Alaska?
 We have had one convention this year so far, and another this week Next year we are sure of the American Legion conVen- tion, and the following year one other. Of these we are certain. Why not build up reputa tion for good sea food, well and tastefully prepared, for fine en- tertainment, good-felloWship and open-handed hospitality, so that all organizations when planning a convention, will just naturally think of Seward?
 We all enjoy good time. The people of Seward certainly spare no expense in entertaining, either themselves or their visi- tors. We have the seafoods on our front doorstep. We certainly have fine cooks. What we do need is a more convenient con- vention hall with either large kitchen or larger and more res taurants.
 With the opening of the high way, Seward will have to pro- vide more transient housing fla cilities. I am dreaming of a big hotel on the side of Marathon. Wouldn't that look beautiful from the bay? One cant help wondering if there isn't enough optimism in town yet to insure the local financing of resort hotel. That's just an idea, maybe a brainstorm, but the people who also have the vision seem to be in the same state of insuf- ficient funds as I am, so all we can do is dream. But, oh brother! What a dream!
 About all we can do in this first year of conventions is to make our visitors forget our slightly dilapidated and worn exterior appearance by showing them that our hearts are in the right places; that we enjoy liv- ing, and that to live in Seward is a privilege and a pleasure.
 That's the way I feel about it, Folks, and the sooner the ma jority of Sewardites take an in- terest in the welfare and the fu- ture of the place, the quicker our Gateway City will also be known as the Convention City of Alaska.

ARE TV FIGHTS SAME
AS LIVE BATTLES
Are the fights the family at
home and the boys in the tavern
see on television the same as those
the fans see in person at the ring
side?
In boxing as well as in
other sports there have been some
lively debates as to whether or
not TV comes close to reproducing
the real thing.
We all still remember the
"ancient" days Of radio when any
resemblance between the fight the
radio announcer saw and the one
in the ring was purely accidental.
LII I1lOoC udyo Cllt dll1lO uIlCeIS were
selling the b~roadcasts.
Today fights are telecast ap-
parently wi t h a minimum Of
talk by glib announcers. A numb
er of writer's have limited that even
t~elevision does not accurately toll
the story of the fight as one sees
it in the stadium.
For example, one reporter in
st. Louis says this about the re-
cent Sandy Saddler-C Charley Ri
ley contest there:
"Fans who saw both the actual
