EDITOR.
| refer to the last paragraph
of the article appearing in the
Seward Seaport Record for Sep
tember 5 having to do with
demonstrating by Interior De-
partment employees. This article
was headlined, promise to Ex-
clude Alaska from Homestead
Ban" 1t went on to say that l
had issued statement saying AL
aska would be excluded from
this order. That is correct.
But l must protest the infer
ence made in the concluding
paragraph of the article which
read as follows: Quick action
by the Interior Department came
on the heels of the resolution
passed by the American Legion,
spanked by j. c. Morris, mem
Der of the Territorial Republi-
can Central Committee"
Politics had nothing to do
with this at all. I lodged my
first protest with the Interior
Department Immediately after
being advised that the regula-
ton had been issued and l con-
tinued to make the protests
until assured by Assistant Sec
rotary Doty that the order would
be amended. | did SO not as a
Democrat or Republican but as
Alaska's Delegate in Congress.
Any implication that the order
was amended because of the
work of a member of the Repub-
lican Central Committee - or
the member of any political
organization of either party
is positively erroneous. The reso-
lutions mentioned in your article
and for which Mr.. Morris is
given the credit were no doubt
excellent but they had nothing
whatsoever to do with, the deter
mination since they never reach
ed me or the Interior Depart
ment.

ECLIPSE
BY CLOUDS

The eclipse of the moon last
night was obscured most of the
time by shifting clouds. 1t was
plainly visible for a few minutes,
however, according to several
watchers. who reported that at
7:30 it appeared to be in half
eclipse. Watchers later in the
evening were disappointed, in
that although the clouds were
thin it still was not possible to
see the moon itself to watch
the eclipse.

8osine Point Opposition

David Lawrence, in his series of col.
umns on the Basing Point Bill, has made
statements of fact which need correction.
Mr.. Lawrence accuses the people and
organizations opposing the Basing Point
Bill OF operating in secret. He described
them as "a reactionary clique" He fatty
stated that the Attorney General had
supported the Basing Point Bill and urged
the President to sign it; and he warned
that veto of the Basing Point Bill "can
mean chaos in the channels of distribu-
ton in this country from coast to coast"
In the first place, the representatives
of the major legitimate small business
groups farm organizations, labor organ
izations and co-operatives who took the
lead in opposing the bill did not operate
in secret, nor did they wish to. Unfortu-
nately, the press paid so little attention
to the dangers of the Basing Point Bill
that our kilograms were ignored and our
press conference fell fiat on it's face for
lack of interest

in the House of Representatives that the

Coll Them All Soldiers

The author Of your editorial Unknown
Soldiers has admirably expressed the
thoughts of many of us who read of the
plan to change the inscription on the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
10 To all except the most bitter service
partisan, the term soldier" applies to
anyone who fights in defense of his coun-
try. 1t is of no Importance whatever that
the fighting is done on the ground. on the
sea, or in the air.. So ,a .'af.:-
have spent 35 years of my life in the
military service. 80 years of which were
with the Air Force. / earnestly believe
that the cause of our armed forces uni
f1cation would be advanced immeasurably
If we could only break away from special
service distinctions and labels. Apply the
general term soldier" to everyone in the
armed forces, and, insofar as possible, put
everyone into the same uniform.
True unification would subjugate the
prestige and special privilege now en-
joyed by individual services, but it would
strengthen our common defense and les
sen our financial burden.

This and That

Small carpenters of the insect world
often cause houSeholders much worry.
The creatures are forever boring nice
holes in porch railings or throwing up
mounds of sawduSt.
Carpenter ants and bees are the best
known, though there is a somewhat rare
form of carpenter moth which bores
holes in trees
Carpenter ants are large and black,
and nest in old dogs and stumps, prefer
ably. or the hearts of trees, but some
times come into houses, particularly
summer cottages.
What nuisances they can be! The
holes they bore are unsightly, and may
cause some damage.
Carpenter bees look a great deal like
ordinary bumblebees.
Most of them are black somewhat
shiny. Their tunneling is excellent.
going for several feet. In these tunnels
they store honey for their young.
1t is all very interesting, but rather
a nuisance.
Carpenter moths sometimes so bore

We must not forget the carpenter
wasp.
He can cut as neat chamber in solid
wood as man with an auger.
Mud is used to divide the tunnels into

ants But Admiral Hillenkoetter himself is on
record in the Army Information Digest as defin-
ing the CIA task as one involving "the systematic
and critical examination of intelligence infor-
nation, the synthesis of that intelligence infor-
nation with all available related material and
the determination of the probable significance
of evaluated intelligence"
1t is pertinent to recall that the Eberstadt
task force of the Hoover Commission found a
number of disturbing inadequacies" in our
intelligence system. The C1A, it said, is sound
in principle" but it criticized the agency's lack
of top-level evaluation board devoted solely
to weighing and analyzing intelligence estimates.
In the light of recent developments. a special
congressional study of the Hoover groups report
might prove well worth while.

tries should do. Friendships are good
for all of us.

ing rights to unions in the matter of Civil
Service promotions. dismissals and all

rlfled to read in The Star that
favorable report on this bill is expected.
1t is simply scheme to make the
unions dictators over all Government en-
ployes and would be the end of the Civil
Service as merit system. Nothing worse
could happen to Government employees
than to be put thus at the mercy of the
unions, for they would undoubtedly try

A Century of Shoviono

DR.. Archibald Henderson of the University of
North Carolina has asked and certainly ought not
to ask in vain for the publics help in producing
centennial biography of George Bernard
Shaw. The great Irish playwright, critic and
commentator will be 100 on July 26 1856, and
the six years between the present moment and
that date are little enough time for such an
enterprise as has been proposed. Just classifying
the materials will be a tremendous task.
Mr.. Shaw has lived to the fullest each single
day OF his career. His interests have been uni
versal He has had opinions on everything and
nearly everybody. No nation, no class, no social
group however small has escaped his notice.
Almost on an hour-to-hour schedule he has re-
flected the century to which he has belonged
reflected it consciousy-and appraisingly. He
has measured, weighed tested the events and the
personalities contemporaneous with himself. The
results occasionally have been explosive Mr. Shaw
has disapproved of much that he has seen heard
and felt. He has fled from the total spectacle of
the age of confusion" repeatedly. But he always
has come back. Thus his inconsistencies have
been explained consistently.
book or series of books of Shaviana from
1856 onward should be fascinating not merely
because such compilation will be a running
portrait of "our modern Voltaire" but because it
will mirror the period of history which has
created him. Mr.. Shaw has aided and abetted
the making of his times but they also have made
him. That is the main reason why he is so
interesting. Like Shakespeare, he has been pre-
dominantly a journalist, an observer and an
interpreter of life. So he should appear in Dr.
Henderson's bringing together of all the Shaviana
worth saving.
DR.. Henderson has been preparing for this
new work during at least 40 years. His first book
on Mr. Shaw was published in 1911 and it still
is good reading. All friends who wish to assist
him in the centennial job should write to him
at Chapel Hill.

ern Korea has raised some questions regarding
our intelligence system that need to be an
swered. Although Rear Admiral Hillenkoetter.
chief of the Central Intelligence Agency, made
s4avorable impression on senatorial questioners.
the failure of responsible authorities properly
toevaluate the intelligence from Korea remains
unexplained. More serious still is the apparent
confusion over whose responsibility it is to
evaluate collected intelligence
ofs| Admiral Hillenkoetter, according to SEN
stprlal sources, gave a good account of the CIA's
operations in keeping tab on Red military
movements in Northern Korea He produced
C1A bulletins of two or three months ago
reporting troop and tank concentrations lust
north of the 38th parallel The latest of this
series OF warnings was submitted to defense and
diplomatic. officials June co. But the CIA
Chief was quoted as saying it is his Job only
TO report the facts-not to attempt to draw any
mierences from them. That, he repeatedly
implied, is the job of the Defense and State
Departments. The admiral's testimony was
somewhat in conflict with that of Secretaries
johnson and Acheson, who are said tn have
told the senators that they were taken COM
pletely by surprise by the Korean invasion.
Congress had supposed that the question of
responsibility for intelligence evaluation was
settled by Section 102 of the National Security
Act OF l947 This section says it is the duty of
Ola to "correlate and evaluate intelligence
relating to the national security" However,
this conceivably could be taken to mean evalua-
tion of the reliability of information sources,
rather than of the significance of the facts
reported. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
