tion.

quoted in Ebony as saying. But,

Key to the Brightwell success
is the determination by all that
if the whole family worked hard
enough, life would become more
secure. Today, five of Brightwells
eight children have equal shares
in these enterprises. None has en-
countered any racial prejudice in

Stale Subversives

The Senator from Wisconsin has been healthy watchdog of some government activities, but the al- legged Communists which he claims are sheltered in the State Depart ment just aren't. Mccarthy picked his names from an old subversive list examined by the the 80th Con- gress three years ago, and most of the men on his list were either busted or, after thorough exam ton, found to he ok.
 The dangerous female, whom he says is with the Voice of America, for instance, just isn't. She was employed briefly some time ago, but dropped. His cease No. 2" is an American minister in Europe who is well-known to most Washington ians and is about as Communistic as Harry Truman.
 Every man on the Mccarthy list has already been scrutinized by the House un-American Activities Con- mittees or by a House Appropria- tions subcommittee. The tragedy is that McCarthy's blast is likely to send State Department officials so far in the opposite direction that they will become as stuffy as in the days when it was considered revolutionary to be seen talking to another Senator from Wisconsin, Note-When Senator Tom Con nally of Texas was asked to have his Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee probe McCarthy's charges, he remarked: T have more import ant things to do than go on a
 skunk hunt"

 What helps part of town helps another part. In the same ratio injury to part is an injury to all.
 its opportunities and capabilities there must be united effort with all pulling together
 What we are trying to get at is an apparent disposition on the part of some to create friction between Newtown and Old Town.
 Some even go far as to say that soon the entire business section will Newtown or the northwest end and leave Old Town whistlng station.
 Where the harm lies is not in saying such things but in friction that might result in end of town working against the other when it comes to general and necessary improvements.
 The present school site is an example of needless friction being generated
 The question should be decided on it's merits, re- gardless in what part of town the school is to be located The only question at issue is whether more economic site could be secured
 Besides a new school building will not make or break any part of the city.
 Naturally as the town grows and spreads, busi- ness houses will also grow and spread. The time may come when the whole of north Tongass will become solid business center
 Meantime let's all pull together for anything which will benefit any part of the city.

volved, which have handicapped his hitherto useful service. =
 When a man holds the high hon. or of representing the American people in Congress, his actions must be subject to more scrutiny than the average citizen. Such scrutiny is the only way the voters in this district can know whether or not he is adequately representing them. Here are the unfortunate facts about the Congressman from Michi- gan.
 Most tragic of all is that when Ray Hanbury, the boy he punched, went to the police station, Craw- lords son William went with him to help swear out the warrant for his fathers arrest.
 Undoubtedly this parental resent ment stemmed from the fact that the 61-year-old Congressman has been so open in his attentions to his 26-year-old secretary, Miss Ruth Peters, that it has caused great family embarrassment. Not only did he take his secretary to Alaska on la Congressional junket, leaving Mrs. Crawford at home, but park police records show that on July l, 1949, the Congressman and Miss Peters were sitting on the grass at Hains

Two Wisconsin Senators

Twenty years ago, when the pre- sent Secretary of State was young lawyer in Washington, one of his friends in the State Department, Prentiss Gilhert got into minor row partly because he had gone up to the Senate to call on Senator Robert La Toilette of Wisconsin.
 La Toilette was Progressive; and the thought of a State De- partment official talking to Pro- glessive made the white-spat re- actionaries of that day cringe in horror. Because of this and other prejudices, Gilbert had some pro- molten troubles, and his friend Dean Acheson served as his at torney.
 No one ever dreamed at that time that Dean Acheson later would be Secretary of State. Nor did any one dream that Wisconsin latel would elect another Senator, Jot Mccarthy, who would also cause trouble for American diplomats.
 This writer, who has covered the State Department for about twenty years, has been considered the car eer boys severest critic. However knowing something about State De. partment personnel, it is my op' inion that Senator Mccarthy i way off-base.

 The mail order house is to buy large stock of ment of Education the Alaska Native Service, and will furnish repacements and additions as time goes on Some 60 to 75 portable sectional bookcases built somewhat like a long chest, are now being manu- factured by Sears, and will carry numerous books.
 These bookcases will be carried from village to village by small boats operated by agencies such as the Fish and Wdfe Service the Forest Service mis- sion craft and mail boats who the only means of communication with larger ceners that many com muntes have
 After remaining for a ime in a village, another case will arrive and the old will be picked up and moved on Thus circulation will be gained and varied reading will for the first time be available to all.
 There of course will be no regular schedule fol books to come and leave, because they will be carried at intervals depending upon salngs of the little craft But for residents living almost isolated the veal around the project is a great boon and we predict an endless line of customers when the library boat is sighted off soundings

Point CWashington's lovers lane) when two Negro boys stole Miss Peters purse. The Congressman gave chase, recovered the purse after S15 was stolen, but did not prefer charges. When asked to pre- fer charges by Sgt. Charles Apfel- beck. he said: Hell, I can't do anything You know what the sit- uation is with me"
 Meanwhile Ray Hanbury, the youngster who got punched, had become a good friend of Mrs. Craw- ford, and a constant companion of Skip" Crawford, the 17-year-old son. He worked in the Congress- mans office by day and at the farm during week ends, and his sympathy was not with the Con- gressman's secretary.
 So it's not difficult to under stand how Hanbury remarked to the Congressman, that damn girl IldS lieu lO yoo o5oAii, esAAN AAOW Skip then climbed down from the ladder which Hanbury was holding when he got punched, threw down his monkey wrench and remarked to his father: If he's finished I'm through too.
 The great tragedy was that as the two boys left for the police station, the Congressman said to his son:
 T gues you're glad now that you've got your old man in jail"
 No wonder the gentleman from Michigan preferred to sit for two days in jail rather than go home.
