Subpoenas For Lathrop Records Quashed By Court

ANCHORAGE, (P)-Two firms headed by Austin E. Lathrop, Fairbanks capitalist, publis h r and radio station owner, won ini- tial court skirmiShes Friday in connection with this weeks sched- uled grand jury probe of anti trust violations in Alaska.
 Attorneys for the two firms Lathrop Company and the Healy River Coal Co.-Succeeded in haV- ing subpoenas on the firms with drawn on technicalities.
 The Lathrop company had been asked by the government to testi- fly and produce records.
 The motion to quaSh the sub poenas was granted by District Judge Anthony Dimond later Fri day.
 Attorneys contended the sub poenas were void and make no demand to produce any document or object, if such is desired"
 That motion was the only one read in court, after which Judge Dimond granted the motion to quaSh. Two other motions, at tached to the court records, stated that mo person was designated to give testimony on behalf of the Lathrop Company, and the de- mand-if it be demand is un- reasonable, oppressive. m k S voluminous and impossible de- mands without specifying the doc umentS needed, and will require at least two weeks preparation"
 An affidavit of Gertrude Nelson of Anchorage, occasional secre- tary-treasurer of Lathrop Com pany, who also was served with a subpoena, declared that requested papers, data, talks, discussions, oral and telephone conversations, documents and information con- stitute substantially the whole rec ords of the Lathrop Company, if available, for 20 years.
 Her affidavit stated the records are believed stored here, in Fair banks and Cordova, and would take several weeks to collect and deliver It also stated it wOuld "disrupt and embarrass" the en- tire business.
 It was indicated in court testi- mony that Schedule A of the sub poena seeks such records as will show names, addresses, official capacity and term of office of ex- ecutive officers and directors of the company since Aug. 9, 1919. It also seeks a list of all stockhold- CTS, changes in holdings, the na- ture and extent of ownership and control of financial interest.
 The government also seeks rec ords, minutes and interoffice com

The Phoenix Jewish news., 1950-07-28

When keenan, first arrived in
Hollywood, he was unknown.
When he left there after
speaking one line in Lana Tur-
ner picture, he says he was even
more unknown. And as far as Kee-
nan was concerned, the parting
was mutual. He did not feel he
was screen material.
Up till then he had appeared in
dozens of New York plays, most
of which he cheerfully admits were
flops, and had appeared in a hilar-
ious radio series. His second trip
to the West Coast, at the special
request of MGM, was after his
sensational success in Broadway
plays, including "Star Wagon" and
"Blind Alley" But, unlike most
young actors with ambition to get
ahead, keenan, politely refused big
roles. 1t was unheard of!
Hollywood old-timers shook
their heads. Here was a clever
young comedian who preferred to
do small roles. All he wanted, he
told the studio wit ha smile, was
small bits which he promptly
proceeded to turn into hits . 4.

launched a worldwide crusade to solve
all human problems by a goddess, ruth
less, materialiStic system which mocks at
reverence for anything above the state,
and which rises no higher than the
ground upon which the individual man,
stripped of all his inherent dignity, walks
as cowed slave. That is what this
malignant power glories in. That is what
it imposes upon all the victims upon
whom it fastens its chains That is the
sinister system we are fighting now, in
the horror and the glory of the Korean
struggle. Cost what it has and may, if
we had thrown Korea to the wolves of
aggression. America could never have
lived with herself again without loathing.
And so she has largely carried out the
mandate of the United Nations, that
by her redemptive stripes Korea might
be healed. With her Allies, this land
of the free is girding for the struggle
whose issue is light or darkness, free
dom or slavery, with the faith which

American a few days ago: II would
rather die fighting here on American
soil than to live as slave under that

up." If we had not demobilized to point of
relative defenselessness after We day and WI
day, If we had kept genuinely adequate mill
tary stick in readiness instead of relying largely
on the one-weapon idea encouraged by our
atomic superiority our tough talk might have
been effective in dealing with the forces of
aggression. But those forces have noted that the
talk-up until recently, at any rate-has had no
proportionate steel or infantry behind it, and so
they have acted accordingly, as if they were up
against nothing but bag of wind
After all, to quote Mr.. Lodge again, "The
only thing the Russians are impressed with is
weapons and men in uniform" Our words are
not what count with them as deterrents. What
counts is the military power we can put behind
those words. That is why we must now become
as strong as possible as fast as possible. The

Time for Careful Drivinq

With the Christmas traffic toll of more than
500 deaths fresh in mind, the National Safety
Council has issued a warning and prediction
that should be pondered carefully by every one
who ventures onto the highways during the New
Year week end. The warning-an old one, but
one that drab statistics prove is worth constant
repetition-is that driving and drinking make
dangerous mixture. The prediction is the grim
one that $50 persons will be killed in traffic
accidents during the Saturday to- Monday hol-
day period, many of them as result of that
mixture.
The council has issued some special advice
to those who wish to avoid being listed among
the $50 fatalities: Cd Leave your car home and
use public transportation if you plan to do any
drinking. 90 Proceed on the theory that the
other driver or the pedestrian, might not be
alert. (3) Refuse to ride with driver who has
been drinking a. If weather conditions are bad,
use double caution and especially hold down
speed
That is good advice at any time of the year.

How Happy q New Year?
By Bruce Borton

Tomorrow. the first day of the New
year, the newspapers and radio pro-
grams will be full of forecasts and pre-
dictions.
I am thinking of something else. am
thinking of young American men being
shot and frozen and tortured in coun-
try 1000 miles from their homes.
It was just "a police action against
bandits" the President said when he
rushed the boys into battle. Then later
it was "the greatest battle for freedom
ever fought Now, as I write, it is
bloody defeat.
Isn't American blood too precious to
be gambled on snap decisions? Should
the power to declare wars like this ever
be entrusted to the discretion of the
President and Secretary of State? Can
such war ever be "won?" Are we going
to send our young men into every death
trap the Russians set for us "all over
the world?
am away behind in my reading about
wars. When World War broke out,
was reading about our Civil War. Now,
a quarter of a century later, am still
reading about it.
How did it ever happen that an in
telligent, prosperous people, sharing the
richest land in the world, speaking the
same language, worshiping the same
God-how could they suddenly plunge
themselves into four years of hatred,
destruction and slaughter?
Gould the Civil War have been
avoided?" once asked Mary Beard. the
great historian. "Of course, it could"
she answered unhesitantly. Slavery
was every year growing less profitable.
Less than 100000 Southern families held
any slaves. Given little time and pa
tience, economics would have removed
the slavery ISSUE
A little time and patience. The "con-
servativeS" were all for that. They
wanted no war. 1t was the idealists,
the pure in heart, who could not wait.
1t was they, on both sides Of the Mason
and Dixon line, who, In the name of q
loving God, famed the fires of hate.
Suppose there had been no Civil War.
Suppose the South had seeded. Would
it have remained separate nation, like
Canada? Or would South and North,
impelled by their economic interdepend-
ence and mutual need for security. have
become one again?
I do not know the answers. No one
knows Secretary Acheson says we
shouldn't even "re-examine" questions
like these as they apply to today.
hold that in all questions that can
possibly lead to war we should re-
examine and re-examine and re-exam-
inc. fear our present policy Of com-
nlitting our money and our blood "alI
over the world" almost as much as ]
fear Stain.

Spires of the Spirit
Faith Is the VictoW

Fate is putting faith into eclipse for
multitudes of the free peoples in the
present titanic struggle, into which the
world has been plunged. The physical
weapons of Russia and her slave cohorts
are piled on one side of the scales to
show that their astronomical proportions
far outweigh the present ability of free
countries to successfully resist sheer
brute force, Craven fears and panicky
apprenhensions wiring from the trembling
lips of those who see in the seemingly
unequal equation between East and West
nothing but the heaviest battalions, sug-
gestions of compromise and appeasement.
For every troubled American. the Bible
lesson for this grim day ought to be the
record OF the anguished cry of Elisha's
servant when, from the heights, he saw
that the forces of Israel were ringed
around with armed might vaster than
their own. The very human reaction was
expressed in the Cry of alarm: ALAS,
alas, what shall we do?" The prophet
OF God, to whose inner eyes the unseen
and spiritual forces were more real than
the visible foe, prayed that the young
mans eyes might be opened to the
realities. The supplication was answered.
With a glad note of triumph and vic
torn which, before, had been conspicuous
by its absence, he cried: '"The chariots
of God and the horsemen thereof! They
that are for us are more than they that
be against us!'
The Armageddon that is now upon us
is not battle to be decided by inven-
tories of rnanpower or stockpiles of weap-
ons. 1t is our faith that breathes the
breath of life into the arms we shall be
building and the men we shall be train
ing. 1t is faith that feeds our endur-
ance and makes the strength of one as
the strength of ten.
The fundamental issues of this earth
shaking conflict are spiritual and moral
Granted that the blindness of the West
to the legitimate cravings of vast Sec
tions of the earth's population has pre-
pared the ground for the poisonous
growth of communism. the ominous
fact is that Russia. with nothing but
derision and denial of what she calls the
