 Th4 scrooning program has been .ul into effect to protect all U. s. ships carrying war material or per- sonnel to the Orient or Alaska. All maritime unions, with the eXcep- tion of the MC&s have complied with the program. The MC&S have attempted to cloud the issue, D. E. Skinner, of the Alaska line said. by claiming that this program has been established for the sole pur- pose of blaeklisting their members who are considered undesirable by

 In view of the Korean war, Skin ner said the company recognizes it's obligation to comply with the Coast Guard screening procedure. Until the MC&S agree to this. he added, and cease delaying company vessels, Alaska Steam has no alter native but to withdraw from pass .enger service.
 If this is done, the Baranof, due to sail at o'clock tonight, with passengers and cargo for Southeas- tern and Southwestern Alaska, will carry only cargo for these ports. This means, he explained, that in stead of 54 in the stewards crew there will be only 10.
 Skinner explained that the com pany was fully aware of the' hard ship suspension of passenger serv- ice will impose on Alaskan people, but added that this was the only decision left after two months of turmoil and confusion. vessel de- lays and passenger inconvenience.

 The MC&S argue that they are entitled to know why a member has been classified as a poor secur- ity risk. Yet they refuse to com ply with the appeal procedure as laid down by the Coast Guard.

ALASKA STEAM WARNS SERVICE PASSENGER
 MAY RE SUSPENDED

SEATTLE - The Alaska Steam ship Company will be forced to suspend passenger service unless the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union abides by the U. s. Coast Guard program of screening all vessels to Alaska for poor security risks" and agrees to replace with out delay any men who have been so screened.
 For the past eight weeks the sAIC&S have delayed signing on vessels, have refused to report for sign on when ordered, have refused to complete signing on when one of
The Wrangell sentinel., 1950-10-06

other Alaska attorneys, including notably such eminent Republi- can as William L. Paul, Jr., of Juneau and Herald Stringer of Anchorage, had been retained for similar work.
 In view of all the deliberate misstatements in Al Whites speech and advertisement, 1t is refreshing to find that in one paragraph he says something which is absolutely true. This is that "a few business firms who collected the veterans tax have not paid it into the fund at all" MT. White knows exactly where of he speaks, for as owner of the Bon Marche store in Juneau, he collected the tax from customers and has to this day failed even to make a return covering the tax owed by the Bon Marche for the fist two quarters of 194S. MT. White sold that business in December of 1948, but still owes the veterans of this Territory the money which he collected for six full months on their behalf. There is apparently no record either of his having paid over to the veterans any tax he may have collected as an attorney. Was this because, as in the case of the Bon Marche, he just pocketed the money he collected for the veterans, or because he didn't have any clients until the Republican Party came along? AIS having included in his state ment the mention of non-pay- ment of taxes only goes to prove, l suppose, that there is a little bit of truth in everyone. He is absolutely right in saying that some firms have not paid.
 WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW NOW, AL, IS WHETHER YOUR FAILURE TO PAY THE VETERANS THE MONEY YOU OWE CONSTITUTES CORRUP- TION, MALFEASANCE OR MIS- FEASANCE?
 MT. White, so anxious to find something to criticize, ignores entirely the good work done un- der the fine program which AL aska has enacted for her Veter- ans. Under it, more than 1000 Alaska veterans have received the benefit of $4,595,314 in leans and another 3,S8S veterans have received $1,385,150 in bon uses. The fund has been managed conservatively and, to the credit of our veterans. total losses have been less than was anticipated when the progrm was set up.
 Unprincipled attacks such as those of the Republicans under mine public confidence, jeopard- ize worthwhile programs and de- stroy the morale of conscientious public servants. Just consider what kind of a veterans pro- gram we could expect if such people aq Al White again gained control of the Territorial govern ment Veterans not only of World War II, but of Korea could, expect to come back, to All aska and take up the good old Republican sponsored profession of selling apples on the street corners.

A Letter To Al White

AIiss4On had acquired a yacnt, us4ng tt.Ap els money Was Ill erIor usaln WHen lie saiu Il ms,a used by the Commissioner and his associates for fishing trips, p.oylns pOKer and parles "e..s in error in stating that this transaction had never been full ly explained, and was in error in stating that the loss to the taxpayers on this deal was more than $10,000."
 Mr. White, the Republican boss went on to say that there is still a mystery" about what be- came of 91,0OO aIIegedly drawn by the former Veterans Commis- sloner in connection with pur- chase oI the Clover Club cocktail par Ill Juneau by another veter- .---. neIe Is uo mystery e.Do,., u whatever. The $1,000, together with another $2,000, has been pald back to the Commission by IllC 4Itll 4elhO Su0udlIJ SOllpaA9 which bonded the former Com missioner. The Company is also seeking to recover an additional $7,000 from the veteran, who defaulted on the loan, and this will be paid to the Commission.
 It is true that action by the Democratic 1949 legislature led to the resignation of this off cial, the former Commissioner of the Alaska World War II Veter- ans Affairs Commission. What MT. White does not say in his political advertisement is that the Commissioner with whom he finds so much fault was a mem Der of his own political party; that he had formerly been em- ployed as cashier in the bank of the late Captain Austin D. Lath- rop, Republican National Com mitteeman, who recommended him highly for the veterans job, and that he had been appointed by the Territory specifically at the urging of a Republican Sen- ator from the Fourth Division.
 MT. White found fault with the fact that the Veterans Bur- eau had from time to time re- tained attorneys to collect on de- linquent loans. He cited as an example the employment of War ren Taylor of Fairbanks i n bringing suit against the Star Cab Company of Fairbanks on behalf of the Veterans Affairs Commission and mentioned that the attorneys fee in that case was $750, and that a $907 fee was paid MT. Taylor in another case in which the Veterans Af- fairs Commission was an inter venor. What Mr. White was very careful not to say was that these fees had been set by the court in each case and were paid not by the taxpayer or the Veterans Affairs Commission, but as part of the judgment obtained when the Territory won the suits. MT. White pretends to find some thing horrifying and political in the employment of this particuI- ar attorney, who as we all know, is a member of the legislature and a candidate for the Territor- ial Senate. M. White again was very careful not to mention that

 The facts about this so-called yacht" are that the vessel Ma ha was purchased from Tom Morgan on August 13, 1946 by Charles E. Judson, an Alaskan veteran Of World War II, with the aid of a veterans loan in the amount of $7,700. Judson had anticipated charter work with lns boat arouHu net.HIAan, but was unable to earn enough to meet his loan payments with the result that the Veterans Affairs Commission had to repossess 1t in June of 1947. The former Commissioner subsequently, sold the vessel to Earl T. Forsythe December g, 1947, for $9,58O, which was the outstanding book balance against the boat at that time. When MT. Forsythe failed to make payments in accordance with the terms of his purchase agreement, and when liens a. gainst the vessel for repairs threatened the premerred status Of the Commission as mortgag- es, the Naha was again reposs- eseed. The action in repossessing was taken upon the advice of Norman H. Banfield of the firm of Faulkner, Banfield and Booch- ever, and upon concurrence by the Territorial Attorney General.
 The Mana, 54-ft. cabin cru iser, was moored at the Juneau small boat harbor during the time 1t was in the possession of the Veterans Affairs Commission and it was advertised for public sale by invitation bid. Continu- ous efforts were made to dispose of the vessel. but no satisfactory offers were received. The Rev. A. B. Morgan, of the Juneau Meth odist church, ultimately made an offer of $3,000 for the vessel and when 1t became obvious that this was the highest bid obtainable. the boat was sold to him January $. 1850, for use in missionary work. A recapitulation of the ac- count covering the Mana shows that the net loss to the Commis- sion resulting from this loan to- tailed $8,452.60.
 So we see that MT. White was in error in stating that the Con-
