Well according to the most recent reports
available it appears that the Republ leans
did not make enough gains to enable them
to control the legislature, there will be
an equal divi sion in the Senate and Ii
Democrats and 10 Republicans in the lower
house. Delegate Bartlett led his Repub-
lican opponent by three to one in q lot
Of places and won by large ma ority.
Delegate Bartlett is puzzled as to why
the Third Division elected both Republican
Senator's and then elected all seven memb-
ers Of the lower house from the Democratic
fold Some one should get a copy Of the
VAST BLAST" and send it to Bob, it light
help to unravel the mystery.
I hal an Interesting talk with one of the
founders Of the Veterans Cooperative that
purchased Chilikoot Barracks and tried
: . : m on a cooperative plan. Tt seems
according to the report that the Veterans
were not cooperative, because they had
~ training or knowledge in that line Of
eTdeavor, some Of them wanted to run it
one way and some another, it finally end
ed up in court and the organization was
forced into receivership. Col. Olsen was
appointed receiver and it now appears
that the holdings that are useful to the
persons who have stayed and tried to work
out some solution will be awarded to them.
However,, all Of the original cooperators
lost their investment and will have to
start over again. This in the opinion Of
the writer would be about where our Coop
would be now if we had followed the plan
to divide up and sell the greater part Of
our holdings as was tried a few years ago.

mostly the young ones though, for several
weeks there was definite shortage of

of fresh eggs soon.

INGLEWOOD, Calf, Dec. 10
A Cherokee Indian mother today
wrote the letter that will put her
Marine sergeant son back where
he wants to be-in the thick of
the Korea fight, leading his
dirty. sinking and loyal platoon"
T/Sergt. Robert j. Ward, Is, a
full blooded Cherokee. was in the
bloody fighting until recently.
Then his mother wrote Gen. Cliff
ton B. Gates, commandant of the
Marine Corps. that her son was
the last of her boys-the other two
were killed in World War II.
She claimed the right to have
her last surviving son put in a
non combat zone.
The mother is Mrs. Glenn
Peterson, wife of an aircraft ma
chinist. She was not available for
verification, but Sergt. Wards
father is believed dead.
Orders releasing Sergt. Ward to
non -combatant duty were sent to
him. But he tucked them in his
hip pocket and continued leading
his platoon up one bloody hill after
another.
It took follow-up orders to get
him on a desk job in Tokyo.
From there he wrote his mother
this letter:
I'm no hero, but I also have
responsibilities to Little Squaw
CHS daughter) and Bettye CHS
wife, and you.
IF these people aren't stopped
here on their own ground, we will
have to share the thing so many
have died to prevent their loved
ones from sharing-the sight Of
death in our own backyard: of

Meanwhile Senator BreWster's
story is that his life was in danger
and he called in the Washington
police. While they may have tap
ped some wires in protecting him,
he had no knowledge of what they
were doing and received no infor-
nation from them.
Significantly, other policemen
who tapped Howard Hughes wire
under Lieutenant Simmons direc-
ton had instructions to listen es-
pecially for conversations pertain
ing to the airplane industry and
to Hughes Trans World Airlines.
This seems long way from pro-
tecting Senator Brewster's life. 1t
also fits in with the testimony dur
ing Senator Brewster's probe that
unless Hughes consolidated his
TWA with Pan American, he woulo
be investigated by Brewster.
Note-The Justice Department
LOOK tne position III the AmeraSla
tolen-documents case that it could
not prosecute because evidence re-
garding the stolen documents had
been obtained by tapping telephone
wires and by illegal entry. The
Justice Department has also quite
rightly maintained that we should
not emulate the police-state domes-
tic espionage methods of Moscow,
especially in the capital of the
United States. The record of j.
Edgar Hoover and the FBI in re-
gard to overlapping is excellent
They are scrupulous in refraining
from any overlapping except IN
cases of espionage, kidnapping ard
where the national security is in
volved. That's why SO many people
are watching the Federal grand
jury now considering overlapping.

PATRIOTIC DUTY

hundreds, perhaps thousands, who against this

The Empire calls attention to a statement
issued at the White House, July "a by President
Truman. This statement should be read by all
patriotic citizens and is follows:
"On September 6, 1899 and January g. 1943
Presidential Directive issued providing that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation of the Department
of Justice should take charge of investigative work
in matters relating espionage, sabotage subversve

MissOurians Differ

Congressman Short, the only
House Republican from Humans
home state-therefore an object of
special disdain at the White House
complained about the strategy of
bypassing the foreign affairs and
armed services committees by send
ing the $4billion measure directly
to the Senate and House appropria-
tions committees.
THE time you will save will not
be worth the bad feeling you will
create in Congress-" protested
Short. IF you went through the
regular procedure of getting author
izationS from the foreign affairs
and armed services committees, you
could still get this bill to the
floor in day.
"A lot of my colleagues will
want to know what type of weap-
ons we are sending to Europe
what countries are getting how
much-and if the shipments can
be made without weakening our
selves. But this Information will
be denied us.
"AS one humble and insignific-
ant member of Congress-" the Mis-
sourian continued, Il can't say
that we should give unanimous ap-
proval to this unconstitutional pro-
cadure."
"Oh, you're just trying to make
an issue out of nothing" snapped
the President

low Missiourian. There's a proper
and an improper way to handle
these matters"
Finally House COP leader Joe
Martin interviewed in favor of the

100 ACRES ALASKA
LAND NOW OPENED
PUBLIC PURCHASE

Almost 1G0 acres in the Tongass
National Forest near Ketchikan,
soon will be opened to purchase by
the public, Secretary of the Inter
ior Chapman announces.
The land consists of SIS tracts in
the Herring Bay area, six miles
south of Ketchikan.
Most of the lots thus eliminated
from the national forest already
are occupied, and the present oc-
cupants will be given the first
chance to buy them at the govern
ment-aprraised low prices, Chap
man said. War veterans will have
preference in buying the others.
Chapman said further elimina-
tions from forest areas in Alaska
probably will make vacant tracts
in Alaska available in sufficient
numbers to meet current demands
for land of this kind"

A Time for HerOism
Cincinnati Enquirer


The term hero has been used often and so
lighheartedly in testing or hooking spirit that it
has lost of its rich overtones. But let us make
no mistake There is herosm aplenty among the
small American units fighting in Korea Indeed it is
during the early weeks of uphill struggle with made
quate forces and against heavy Odds that heroism is
exacted of fighting men. =
1t is not an easy thing for normal men, with
decisive superiority in numbers and in fire power and
equipment, to stand under enemy fire. But it is
UNNECESSARILY difficult to defend rise of ground
with a handful of men and no artillery, against
superior forces with better weapons.
Batan and Midway were just such delaying ac-
tions where there hope of victory and not too
much hope of survival Guadalcanal an offensive
operation, but undertaken with slender forces
against enemy steadily reinforced by sea. hun
dred examples might be found = examples OF
fighting in the most bitterly adverse conditions.
A month from now, if the Korean war continues,
there will be ample forces, heavier weapons and
greater air support There still will be actions re-
curing heroic conduct of the men engaged But it is
in these first weeks of fighting against desperate
odds that greatest heroism is demanded of the
Americans rushed into the Korean conflict.

words, Lieut.. Joseph Shimon, the
District of Columbia cop who di-
rected the tapping of Howard

that he divulged no information
