The politically m mature
land the just plain malicious)
tend to confuse the aims OF
those who think differently
from themselves. The idealist.
the so-called liberal, for ex-
ample, is scorned and SANDER
ously referred to as a Commun-
list by the hate merchant status
quo set.
In truth. no sincere liberal
can be a member of the Com
munist party; the CP is not a
liberal movement. II is an
iron-bound dictatorship that
consumes the souls and SUBJ
stances of those who support il.
Stain was cast in the same
mold rs Hitler. Franco. Mus
solini and the parvenu Peron.
They bear different names and
they dubbed their movements
with different names. But the
end result was all one--man
became a chsttel of the HER
srchY.
The liberal, the idealist, pro-
notes harmony. The idealist
works for the raising up of all
people by hosting the center
of gravity of mankind, by bet
tering the lot of the lowest
common denominator. This,
you win recall, is what Jesus
Christ worked for. He, too, was
scorned and cursed by the sell
fish.
The Communist Capital &c"
for a member of the party as
opposed to the theoretical
communist thrives on hate, on
savagery, on bloodshed. The
idealist works for peace;
through the ferocity of his
mania, the Communist works
for torment and strife.
The late Sen. Bilbo did more
work for the Communists than
any member of the CP. He pro-
NOTED hate. the racial kind. he
dripped poison. The Commun-
lists hsve never made much of
a bluster in the South. because
the South has more than
enough hafers to do their work
here. And through their sbYs-
nal ignorsnce. some of the
loudesf Southern opponents of
Communism toss their shafts
wide of the mark, wounding
their allies and giving solace to
their enemies.
What we need is political
education for our people. Edu-
cation so that we, however we
disagree among ourselves, may
recognize the common enemy,
the enemy to us all; so that
we may understand that the
man who disagrees with us is
not, per Sc, a communist, faS-
cist, socialist or a revenooer,
but may be a sincere democrat
who wants democracy for all
of us, not just for himself
alone.
Wasn't it funny how the
navy emphasized that the lat
est tand successfully effort to
get the Missouri off her en-
barrassing mud lump was only
a rehearsal" For about a
week after the Big Mo slither-
ed aboard the mud, the navy
announced almost daily that
they'd have her back in the
water tomorrow"
After a barrage of friendly
60 insults from the army and
air force, the admirals then
announced that all the fever
ish activity was only a rehear-
sal for the big push to come
later in the month. Nav" we
can hear them saying, we're
not really trying. We're ex-
perimenting. Well get her off
later"
The Big Mo hit bottom off
Old Point Comfort. But even
the rehearsal gag didn't save
the navy from plain old dis.
comfort.

JUNEAU Sp0R1SMEN REPORT TWO KINGS
 TAKEN IN CHANNEL

Two Juneau sports fishermen snagged into what may be the first salmon of the spring run Sun- day at the south end of Gasti- neau Channel.
 Gil Bixby and Spec Paul, using herring on their trolling gear, tang led with two big ones after more than three hours of travelling with their lines out in the Salisbury Point area.
 First to be landed was a king that tipped the scales at B pounds when cleaned. It was landed at 10:30 am. Nearly two hours later the second fish, a 19-pounder, was pulled over the gunwales.
 The two strikes were the only ones the sportsmen had during the day
 Meanwhile, sports fishermen in the Tee Harbor area, trying every lure short of a frying pan, scored zero.
 With rain, snow and sunshine on their backs, the intrepid salmon hunters sat through the day with out seeing herring. But local authorities on the game of salmon fishing were hopeful to- day. They said that all nearby fish ing spots should show signs of the big run within few weeks. And today many local sportsmen including those who stayed at home or caught nothing were planning to have their tackle ready for next weekend.

New Democrats

The Democratic party is busy doing missionary work among the 137,0O0 former aliens who have been sworn in as citizens since the last election and will vote for the first time this year.
 Word has been sent to all Dem ocratic State Chairmen to compile list of these naturalized citizens and make Democrats of them be- fore November.
 In many Congressional districts, they might easily become the ball. ance of power. For example, New York has 46,5O0 newly naturalized citizens, California 18,500; Massa- chusetts, $500; New Jersey, 7,500; Michigan, 1000; Illinois, 6,5O0; Per1- nsylvania $500; and Ohio, 4,000. Even little Connecticut has 4,000 and Florida 2,000 former aliens who can now vote What makes their votes count is that they are congregated in one or two Con- gressional districts in each state.
 This is the reason the Demo- cratic party is working so hard to convert them.

sound ground in support of statehood than the flag waving defense argument.
 Without entering into the merits demerits of statehood now" have yet been unable to get il through our thick heads to how Alaskan statehood would effect the defense of the North in way the other The answer to that question it seems to lies in the fact that last week the House Armed Service Committee gave approval to $66,320,045 military construction program for Alaska and that there to be general attitude the part of Congressmen of both parties to forward with other essential requirements for both the military and the civilian de- velopment of the Territory.
 In the meantime the Gruenng administration, which has made much ado about interesting capital and encouraging capital already in the field has started wholesale grand jury investigation obviously de- signed to harass business with the flmsy charge of monopoly where in the very nature of things no mon opoly could exist.
 Hundreds of subpoenas have been issued through out Alaska and the States demanding the books and correspondence of various concerns Business execu tives their accountants and attorneys will be called upon to spend weeks of valuable time and thousands of dollars in effort to prove that they are not monopoistic or have not conspired with some mono polistc operator.

 One thing that should loom large in the mind of even the rabid capital batter is that there is more certain way to frighen capital away from the Territory, state than to berate harass and hamper capital already in it. Ask almost any businss why opposes statehood and you will find that he brushes most other objections aside and answers GRUENING.

his trip to the United States is a quiet, efficient Senator from Ariz- ona, Carl Hayden.
 The highly respected Hayden works hard, speaks little, generally votes for the little fellow But he also represents the great copper state of Arizona, where one com pany is especially anxious to have the 2-cents-per-pound excise tax on copper imports reinstated This tax, amounting to tariff against Chilean copper, will automatically go into effect June 30 unless Congress rules otherwise, and Sen- ator Hayden probably has the pow CT to say yes or no.
 Other big copper companies Anaconda and Kennecott-are less interested in the excise tax be- cause they import from Chile as well as mining copper in the U. s. But Phelps-Dodge mines in the U. s.
 This indirectly involves the State Department No. 1 Ambassador, Lewis Douglas, envoy to London, whose Canadian family founded Phelps-Dodge It also raises the question as to whether the State Department could work a triple play-Douglas to Phelps-Dodge to Senator Hayden-in order to head off the copper tax against Chile.
 Anyway, one point both the State Department and President Gonzalez Videla agree on is that Communism is going to be a lot more difficult to suppress in Chile if copper exports to the U. s. are curtailed and miners are out of work. As in Iran, there is noth- ing that breeds Communism like unemployment
 Note-ex-Senator John Danaher of Connecticut, key hatchet man for the Republican National Con- mittee, was once a relentless high tariff man, but now is on the other side of the fence. He op- poses Senator Hayden of Arizona and wants untaxed Chilean copper. Reason: Connecticut industries us- ing copper retained him to lobby against the copper excise tax.

Presidential Poker

When government notables slip into the White House or aboard the Presidential Yacht Williams burg after da1s,, it isn't always to discuss problems of state but more often to play poker.
 In fact, few White House ses- sions are more secret than the Presidents poker parties. He in- vites only the most intimate friends to sit at his poker table, usually eight at a time. There they see Truman's most sociable side, for he is full of mischief during a poker evening.
 The President deals left-handed, loves to taunt anyone needing a particular card. When dealing, II he has dropped out of play, he will peek mischievously at the card before dealing. then slap it down and chuckle gleefully if it's the wrong card Sometimes he takes a poll of what his guests want to play, then deals something else.
 Truman enjoys playing with wild cards, particularly with the low hole-card wild. He is also fond of a game he calls Papa Vinson," named in honor of Chief Justice Fred Vinson. This is or dinary stud, played with an extra draw. Another Truman favorite is regular seven-card stud, which he has dubbed Jack Garner" in hon. or of the former Vice President who made a fortune playing poker.

Fair Deal For Losers

The President likes to play for fun, gets no kick out of letting the stakes run high and the game get grim. Sometimes at Key West recently the stakes were around S4OO. To take care of losers, Tru- man taxes 5 to 10 per cent of each stake which is paid into a special kitty; and when losing player goes broke, he is entitled to a free grant from the kitty. At the end of the game, the kitty is divided equally among all the play CTS.
 Most Presidential poker sessions are held on the Williamsburg after dark. The President doesn't let them drag much past midnight, however, because he is an early riser.
 When the poker chips are flying and the Presidential bourbon is flowing, the President forgets his burdens, and for a few hours be- comes just plain Harry Truman again.
 Note-the three friends most fre- uuently called up for Presidential poker games are Chief Justice Vinson; Clark Clifford, the ex- White House aide, and George AL len. the x-White House jester. The President takes particular de- light in beating Allen, chuckles merrily at Aliens poker luck.
