City Seeks Opinions
On Sale Of Gas From
SeIf-Service Stations

The Commissioners are asking
the views of several agencies here
on the advisability of passing
regulation prohibiting the opera
ton of self-service gasoline sta
tions in the District.
The Board of Governors of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association adopted a resolution
asking the city heads 20 consider
regulation similar to one recently
adopted in Baltimore and % other
cities, prohibiting the stations.
Reason for the prohibition, the
board understood, was the possible
fire hazard existing with such in
stallations.
Edward D. Shaw, executive Sec
retary of the association, advised
the Commissioners no such sta
tions have opened up here yet.
The city heads are seeking opin-
ions of the Fire Chief, Director of
Vehicles and Traffic, American
Automobile Association, Keystone
Automobile Club, the Washington
Board of Trade and the United
States Automobile Association.
w. I. Cleveland, manager of
the District division of the AAA,
announced the division is asking
that mo barriers be raised or
maintained against modern
trend in merchandising motor
fuel quickly, efficiently and at an
economical rate to the car owners
who are daily facing steadily ris-
ing costs of car operation"
The AAA recommendation to
the Commissioners asked, how
ever. that regulation be adopted
prohibiting the unsuperyised sale
of gasoline, including the opera
ton of coin operated pumps.
IF car owners can save from
2 to cents per gallon on gaso-
line by making use of the facilities
of self-service stations, there is
no reason why restrictions or reg
ulations against them, official or
quasi official. should exist in the
District of Columbia" Mr.. Cleve-
land said.

BrOwder and Field
 Both Deny Budenz Testimony Charges

Continued from Page One that the communists exercised disciplinary power over Latti- more.
 A former righ-ranking army in- telligence officer followed Budenz to the stand and bluntly disputed that Lattimore was a communist.
 Lattimore, a Johns Hopkins university professor, has flatly denied McCarthy's charges against him. He withheld comment on Budenz's testimony, but is ex- pected to make a formal reply at public hearing next week.
 The inquiry into McCarthy's assertions that communists and fellow travellers have infested the state department is being handled by a Senate foreign relations sub committee.
 Budenz said that Browder, for mer head of the communist party in the United States, referred to Lattimore as a communist"
 In New York, Browder replied that he never made any such ref erence to Lattimore, and added:
 "I don't think I ever discussed MT. Lattimore in my life with anyone"
 Also in New York, Field put out a statement calling Budenz's accusations against him "a shame less and slanderous lie." BudenZ testified that he knew Field as a communist leader and Soviet agent.

Ladies and Gentlemen; Fellow AlaSkanS All:

Fellow AlaSkans All:
 Tuesday, April 25th, the date set by law for our 1850 Primary Elections, will soon be here, and undoubtedly a great many of you have been asking of yourselves, and of each other, "Who are these candidates for Commissioner of Labor on the Republican Party ticket? What do they represent? What have they done? What do they offer us?"
 We'll, briefly, I am one of the candidates for Copmissioner of Labor: RAY BEACH, of Juneau; 43 years of age; 12-year resident of Alaska; married, the father of four children; a retired enlisted man from the U. s. Navy, in which I served over 22 years, in- cluding all of World War II. I am member of the Alaska Territo- rial Employees Local Union No. 1279, of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.
 I have filed for the office of Commissioner of Labor because am interested in good govern ment, because I was formerly con- nected with the Territorial De- partment of Labor, in which l worked for nearly two years, be- coming quite familiar with the normal functions of that Depart ment in matters pertaining to la Dor relations, the protection of our workers, and particularly of our women and children, in in- dustry; the, enforcement of our wage payment laws; benefits for injured workmen under our Alas ka Workmen's Compensation Act; the training of our youth under apprenticeship programs which will enable them to obtain gainful and constructive employment in Alaskan industries and businesses, and the compilation of statistics relative to cost of living and wages and other matters which are of invaluable assistance to employers, labor organizations, governmental agencies and other professional and private citizens interested in the development of our economy.
 Numerous employers and labor organization officials, and hun dreds of workers can testify to the fact that the correspondence files of the Department of Labor are replete with testimonials to my ] interest and participation in these matters, and especially to my ef- forts and efficiency in the settle ment of labor disputes between unions and employers, and of wage disputes between employees and employers.
 My friends, as responsible private citizen, and as a member of the Republican Party, I felt compelled to file for the office which I seek-that of Territorial Commissioner of Labor. l feel, in fact I know, that I can give you a more diligent, a more intelligent,

A MESSAGE TO ALASKANS-

ands yet economical, administra- ton of the Department of Labor than has prevailed in the past. I believe that an administration such as I offer you is absolutely necessary in an expanding and fruitful Alaska economy because the affairs of this Department, particularly in the field of labor relations, in the maintenance of industrial harmony, are inextric- ably interWoven with that econ- omy. In this connection, I invite your attention to the labor blanks suggested by me to the recent Caucus of the Republican Party at Juneau; which blanks were adopted by the unanimous con- sent of that convention for incor- poration in the 1850 Platform for the Republican Party of Alaska: Maintenance of a full time, in- telligent and effective administra- ton of our labor laws for the ben eft of both labor and industry in order that industrial peace may constantly prevail. The support of preferential employment for resi- dent Alaskan workers in both pri- Vate industry and governmental service"
 Ladies and gentlemen: If you voters of Alaska see fit to return me victorious at the polls in the Primary Election on April 25th,, and in the General Election of Oc- tober End, you may rest assured that as your Commissioner of La Dor: CD I shall employ competent and efficient personnel in order that the functions of your Depart ment of Labor may be carried out strictly in accordance with the laws governing this Department; CD I shall do my utmost to fairly and impartially preserve the in- dustrial peace, and in the event of disputes between unions and em- ployerS, or between unions, shall place at the disposal of the dis putantS all of the conciliation and mediation facilities of my Depart ment; (3 I shall honestly and forthrightly present to the Legis- lature the appropriation needs of my Department, to the maximum benefit of both the workers and the taxpayers of the Territory. (4 1 shall not incite class against ! class or union against union; nor shall display partiality in inter union disputes; and, finally, though somewhat premature, (5) should I seek reelection in 1854, it shall be wholly unnecessary for me to campaign vigorously, either at my own expense or at the ex- pense of you taxpayers, for I shall have rendered to you during my entire tenure of office, through the medium of the public press and union publications, a month ly report of what has been ac- complished by your Commission CT, and Department of Labor. l I thank you.
