Who is the Rogue?

Now let's examine Woods record further and see who is really the villain.
 A congressman is supposed to award mail routes on merit, not because of any fees, whether direct or indirect. Yet I have an affi- davit signed by Weldon c. Bennett of Canton, Ga, which states that he took an examination for rural mail carrier in June of 1949, and two weeks later went to see c. B. tButch Holcombe, Secretary to Congressman Wood, regarding his standing on the eligibility list.
 T offered c. B. (Butch) Hol- combe fifteen hundred dollars for said route" continues the affidavit. MT. Holcombe then stated that the offer was not high enough. He stated, however, that if it could be arranged at that price, I could contact him later. I made this offer with the understanding that MT. Holcombe was the go-between' for John s. Wood"
 Holeombe is the congressional cretary who originally approached the elder Stanfield asking for a fee in connection with the con- pensation bill for Ralph Stanfield
 Two other affidavits are signed by Ralph Clark, Jr, of Flowery Branch, Ga, and Harold w. Puck cit of Buford Ga, stating that in September, 1949, Congressman Wood told them quite frankly that he was awarding the mail route al FloWery Branch to Homer Reeves because of the large fee, he, Wood had received in connection with a lawsuit brought. by Reeves father in breaking the will of the late Dr. George Bryce.
 Reeves stood sixth on the list of eligibles. Yet Congressman Wood told those who were nearer the top of the list that. because of large legal fee paid him in a lawsuit involving another appli- cant, they would be passed over The congressman at least was frank.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-06-24

Jack Chapel, manager of the Georgia Marble Company, to whom Stanfield owes his job, personally drove him to the congressman's office. But regardless of any press ure. the fact that Stanfield, a resident of a smah Georgia town and ignorant of the law, was sat isfied' makes no difference. And the fact that Carl Talent, spaid S7,009 a year by the government to serve as Woods assistant, ac- cepte the fee, makes 70 difference.
 Congressman Wood knew what the law was and he knew that it is a criminal offense for his office to accept such fee. He also knew that a member of congress is paid by tte government to work for all the people and he cannot take extra pay from one individual per son.

About British Empire
Drug Not Cause Of
SOcialite's Death

|SOcialite'S Death
CHICAGO (ANP)- The death
of Mrs. Marjorie Conway Coving-
ton, 28-year-old Detroit socialite
and bride of three days, in the
swanky downtown Palmer House
Jan. 3, was not due to whiskey
and an overdose ofthe new anti
histaminic cold drugs as earlier
believed by physicians, a corn
oner's jury announced here Thurs
day. The jury's verdict was that
death was due to natural causes.
Originally, it had been thought
that an overdose ofthe new cold
tables plus the whiskey the wo-
man had consumed was the cause
of her death. The tragedy gained
nationwide attention, with lead
ing medical authorities offering
their learned opinions that (1)
an overdose of the drug could kill
an individual user and 2 taking
the drug with alcoholic beverages
certainly would prove fatal.
The jury, however, based its
ruling on a report by DR.. Walter
j. R. Camp, state toxicologist, as
read by Coroner A. L. Brodie. The
report said not traces ofthe active
ingredient in the drug could be
recovered after extensive tests on
laboratory animals or the dead
woman's tissues.
The woman was found dead in
the bathroom of the bridal suite
by her husband, William Coving-
ton. He told police she had taken
| some ofthe new cold tablets and
had been washing it down with
whiskey.
AS guests in Chicago's promin-
ent Palmer House, the death of
the bride received national reco-
gnition before the fact that the
couple was colored was revealed.
Germany shall rise up and fight
freedom while she stands on its
neck and ties it's hands. But what
else can she do? What can white
South Africans do? The answer
is as clear as daylight:
make a real one world of it
under UNO or some other world
authority and stop these killings"

Great Britain has sent many

1t is important that Americans

Britain is regarded as a powerful

But that conception is false.
The commonwealth is by no means

India and Pakistan are on the

In Africa, Nigerians, Gold

And when supplies of tin, rubber,

Mrs. Powell, Friend of Nisei, Runs
For Congress in Nov. 7 Election

We must screen our COMPRESSION
al representatives and our candidates
for Congress if We are to keep q
sound America.
That is the declaration of Mrs. F.
F.Powell, of Seattle, Republican can
didate from the 1st Congressional
District.
II do not believe in mud-slinging
and that will not do" she said at a
series of meetings. But we know
out of our tragic experience in Ko-
rea-we know from the court trials
of subversive personnel in our own
state department-that we must care
fully scrutinize the records of those
whom we elect. That's not mud;
that's realism!
She termed the record of her oppo-
nent, Hugh Mitchell as inconsistent
and unconvincing". She cited the
fact that four times he voted against
internal security measures and that
he sustained the Presidents veto on
the Internal Security Act.
only at election time does he re-
verse his stand and sustain the
screening measures which are so i'm
perative to protect the lives of our
fighting forces and the very CONT
nuance of our American way of life"
she declared.
In seeking election to Congress,
Mrs. Powell said she will apply the
program proven in my is years on
the Seattle City Council.
I'VE brought the city budget out
of the red. On the national bud
get we must stop federal waste. In
stead of potatoes plowed under and
powdered eggs from China,we should
put our funds into adequate militia
ry defense.
ITO continue a sound America we
should step up our educational, health
and housing facilities SO our children
grow up as sound Americans, but we
should do it through private enter
prise and not federal socialism.
LAS a member of Congress I will
fight for development of Northwest
assets and industries. No 3-man die
tatorship such as is proposed on
Columbia Valley!
