Man for the Job

Anchorage News)
 The long road back for the Republican party in Alaska appears to be beginning with the election re- gently in Juneau of Capt A. E. Lathrop to the highly important post of national Republican committeeman from Alaska.
 AS everyone must know by now, it marks not only the ascension of capable person to the office, but more important it signifies once more solid front for what-has long been the minority force in Alaska
 There has been almost from time beyond our own memory the socaled split in the Republican party in Alaska, allegedly coming about when, Albert White also a man of considerable ability, led group away and set up organization that, much to the dis credit of the entire party became political machine More through the benefit of geography than anything else MT White able to set up closely knit group at Juneau to wield political influence as he saw it best
 However it did have a serious undermining effect on the Republican party, eliminating in stark reality at the last Territorial elections when capable Repub can candidates went down in utter defeat before solid front opposition party.
 Some power cataytic agent of great strength, was needed to weld the breach. Republicans of all factions realized that.
 There was a man who could do it. A who commanded the utmost respect in Alaka, man who, more than anyone else tired of the spells system of the Gruening led machine in Alaska, a man who would see the operations of the government patterned after his own fortnight manner of getting things done.
 He was Austin E. Lathrop, builder, industrialist, and supporter of everything genuinely Alaskan.
 So at a point in life when he should be entitled to enjoy ease and retirement, he stepped into the political picture and like magic the gulf closed and Republicans today stand solid and united thanks to the only man in the Territory who could do it.
 Captain Lathrop is fighter. as his life of sur mounting tremendous odds in the northand will tes- tify Now with the Republican party solidly behind him it is very plain that sound principles of govern ment which the COP stands for-the end to waste in high place. the encouragement of free enterprise, the return to a government by the people, the un shacklng of the Territory from the hands of super politicians-are about to be reinstated.

STATEHOOD PROBLEM

The Los Angeles Times recently printed an article indicating that certain Los Angeles civic body en- dorsed statehood for Alaska. This probably in- tended a friendly act, taken without investigation of the issue.
 Anyway, former Alaskan residing in Holly wood sent the following communication to the Times, which is worth reading:
 The curse of FDR financial idocy still infatuates people. Voters persuaded by demagogues that they can have something for nothing, by voting sums of money to themselves.
 The present meager resources of Alaska already taxed to death by the Territorial government It is silly to think that those support state hood.
 Some demagogue has shouted Tax the vested interests" The vested interests the parties who pack the salmon and mine the gold of Alaska It will be quite easy to squeeze them right out of business
 Under Territorial status, Alaska is largely SUD- ported by Federal funds. Remove this Federal sup

Guerri|Ias of Nail.
 Land on China Coast

TAIPEIA, Formosa, April 6|R- Chinese Nationalist defense head quarters disclosed tonight that Ma tionalist guerrillas landed on the coast of Red China only 20 miles southeast of Shanghai March 30.
 The raiders were credited with destroying more than 200 Commu- hist junks, capture of IA junks and assorted guns, and with killing an unspecified number of Communists.
 The Nationalists said the Com munists tried to keep the landing party at bay with coastal artillery but these guns were silenced by Ma tionalist warships. Then the raiders swarmed ashore and completed their mission of destruction.

Rich Gold Vein, Old Eureka Mine,
 Hit af 1900 Feei

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6-tR- Central Eureka Mining Go. informed stockholders today the downward extension of the vein in the old Eureka gold mine had been con- tacted and cross-cut' at the 3900- foot level and that an ore sample averaged $17920 a ton.
 Stockholders were cautioned how ever, that the ore sample may have been taken from a ..localized en- richment."
 Arthur Kendall, general super intendent, reported it is reasonable to expect that ore developed at this level will mill in excess of $1 100000 gross.
 The old Eureka mine was dis covered in 1852. It is near Sutter Creek on the mother lode in Amador county.

Rooney Gets Revenge

A truer remark was never made which may be why it stung Rooney so deeply. At any rate the New York Congressman gave the CAB chairman one of the most abusive grillings an agency chief has ever received at a recent closed-door session.
 AS the hearings started Rooney roughly ordered O'Connell not to talk about additional Civil Aeron- autics personnel, who I know now are not going to be approved"
 You say you know now they are not going to be approved?" ask ed the surprised O'Connell.
 Yes" roared Rooney, T am quite sure of that"
 Then it seems rather silly to be discussing anything that has already been decided" replied the CAB chairman with a futile ges- ture.
 Note: Later when O'Connell ask ed if he might ask question to clarify point raised during the hearings, Rooney shouted, no"

Kerr Bill Battle

ACfI IhiA DaeehC
 Here's the inside story of how supporters of the Kerr Bill manip-- ulated the votes to jam it through the House of Representatives last week.
 Actually, the bill was defeated on the first roll call by vote of 179 to 173.
 However, just before the ow-
 come could be announced, Con
 gressman from the southwestern states swarmed into the well of the House demanding to know how they had been recorded on the roll call. This was delaying tactic to give supporters of the bill time to drum up some switch-votes and to snatch victory from defeat in the very close balloting.
 Meanwhile, Rep. Charles Hal leck, of Indiana, who led the fight for the Kerr bill on the Repub- lican side, also appeared in the House well. Halleck asked Lewis Deschler, House Parliamentarian who was standing behind the tally clerk:
 What's the score, LeW?"
 Before Deschler could answer, Speaker Rayburn, who was presid- ing, informed Halleck that two more votes were needed if the bill was to be saved from defeat. In other words, it was up to Halleck to produce two switch-votes on the Republican side.
 How well he succeeded may be attested by the fact that not two but three Republicans, who had voted against the Kerr Bill, soon appeared in the House well and in- formed Rayburn that they would like to change their vote and be recorded as for the bill.
 The three Republicans were Earl Wilson, of Indiana, a protege of Halleck, Paul Shafer, of Michigan, and Henry Latham, of New York One Democrat, Morgan Moulder of Missouri, also mysteriously chang ed his vote under pressure at the last minute.
 Two other House members whose yes-and-no votes canceled off each other-also changed their minds and asked to be recorded as voting present. They were Richard Wigglesworth, of Massachusetts, who had voted against the Kerr Bill on the first roll call, and Don- aid Jackson, of California, who voted for it.
 That is the inside story of how the vote to kill the Kerr bill was miscarried into vote to pass, by margin of l76 to 174. Some of the 'loudest boos ever heard in the House plus shouts ot how much did you get?" greeted Congressman Wilson and his three colleagues when they changed their ballots.
 Incidentally, Congressman Hal leck, who helped to engineer this 5ellout of the American consumer, IS nearly always in the vanguard of big business on every issue af- fecting working people and con- sumers, though, strangely, Halleck mas no big business to speak of neither gas nor oil interests-in his Indiana district. Halleck, who came to Congress man of modest means, is also fa- mcus for driving not one. but two shiny Cadillaacs.
 Note: Senator Joe Mccarthy is in the doghouse with Wisconsin voters for another reason besides his irresponsible attack on the State Department He also voted for the Kerr Bill, which is such a

Mccarthy GyratiOns

Those who have watched the gy- rations of harum- -scarum Senator Joe Mccarthy, of Wisconsin now believe they have tracked down the source of some of his wild state ments, and that he is being fed by Fascist-minded Joseph Ramp, new under conviction for contempt of Congress.
 Mccarthy has vacillated all the way from claiming POT card-car- rying Communist in the State De- partment down to 57 Communists, though he has not yet been able to prove one. After making these statements, he has retreated from claiming card-carrrying Communists to Communist sympathizers and fellow travellers" And, after stating on the Senate floor February 20 that T will not say anything un- der the cloak of immunity that l would not say anywhere else. And that day I will resign from the Senate" he is now leaning over backward to protect himself against libel suit. In fact, he even stamped advance copies of his speech sent to the Senate press gallery with the notation that he was acting "as the agent for the Senate" in order to protect him. self against libel.
 A comparison of McCarthy's charges with those of Fascist Joe Ramp shows they are almost iden- tical. In case after case, Mccarthy almost paraphrases charges made by Ramp in some of his inflam- atory publications which have re- ceived the hearty endorsement Of the Ku Klux Klan.
 Ramp, original name Kampf, was born in Yorktown, N. Y., made sev- eral trips to Germany, and finally shipped his German-born father back to the fatherland shortly be- fore the war started. He was con- victed in 1948 for contempt of Congress. and this conviction was affirmed by the Court ot Ap- peals." ', e.-ss,--s s.
