THE PALMER STORY-(Continued)

Last summer. The Daily Alaska Empire, together with other members of the so-caed axis press, made public some of the unappetizing details surrounding
 the transactions through which the Territory of Alaska eaired title to the Palmer airport site.
 Revelation of the subterfuge employed by officials of the Aeronautics and Communications Commission and the Palmer Airport Association to place an in- fated value on the land involved and the subsequent connjvance of Territorial and CAA officials in an attempt to bk the Federal Government of participant ing funds brought anguished howls from the officials involved Piteous bleats of outraged innocence were heard from Palmer to Juneau. The Empire, the An chorage News and the Fairbanks News Miner were denounced as undertaking journals = sabotaging the development of the Territory and the aviation industry for political purposes.
 An official of the Alaska Aeronautics and Com ralnicatons Commission told us that we, the axis press" had lreparably damaged the Territorys air pert program by irresponsible journalism" and that we had further retarded the progress of aviation in Alaska by a good ten years
 Former Representative Marcus F. Jensen, of Doug lae. who as a member of a House Investigating

Committee, uncovered much of the evidence on which the charges of connivance were based subjected to every conceivable manner of abuse. A regular Democrat of long standing, he was nevertheless de- nounced by the machine faction of that party de- prived of party support and ultimately defeated Tn the general election.
 The Palmer scandal however, could not be husheo' In midsummer of 1850 it came to the attention of Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska who, after exam ming documentary evidence of the questioned trans actions demanded that complete study and inves- tigation be made On August 3, 1850 the matter was referred to the Senate Investigations Subcom- mittee headed by Senator Clyde R. Hoey CDem- NCo
 Senator Hoeys committee conducted nvesuga- lions in Alaska as well as in Washington D. c. In addition hearings were held in Washington in Janu- ary of this year for the purpose of developing the complete facts concerning the applications for Feo- eral aid the manner in which the Palmer project was handled bv the CAA officials involved and to further axanne the circumstances surrounding the sale ot the Palmer Airport by the Palmer Airport Assoclatlon to he Territory of Alaska.
 We quote from the introduction of the commit ee's report This is unique case in that It IS Ce iret time the subcommittee has been presented with
 situation where a subdivision of the Federal Gov ,rnment namely the Territory of Alaska, has at- empted to secure funds from the Federal Government n manner which would do violence to the spirit ana he letter of the law
 The report itself is lengthy document ana lhe 'indpgs and conclusions of the committee VIII pc reated further in these columns.
 To ,date the Territorial officials involved nave made no comment on the committees report. ohiy ,eacion to date is contained in news story iroh'- ,aeed in the Anchorage Times for May 26 1891.

 We think the Territory should take lmHeolaOe stens to make the sale before the man changes HIS mind

Core ctiOEs

This column, however, has made mistakes, and when l make them try to correct them. Here are some l want to set straight. In reporting the Tidelands oil vote inside the Senate Insular Affairs Committee recently, 1 stated incorrectly that Senator Butler of Nebraska held the proxies of Senators Watkins of Utah and Ecton of Montana, Re- publicans. On the contrary, Butler held the proxy only of Senator Mil likin of Colorado, which he cast for the oil companies. I regret the error.
 Another error: in reporting why price controls were delayed by the Truman administration, I stated that Leon Keyserling had hung back against price controls because he wanted to be named chairman of the council of economic advisers and didn't want to offend right wingers. This was wrong. MT. Key serling informs me that he was al- ways for price controls, and I am delighted to publish a correction.
 The other day, Senator Capehart of Indiana took me to task for re- porting that he was chiefly" re- sponsible for saving the REC from exposure" in the Baltimore and Ohio railroad loan case.
 The Senator claimed that other members of the Senate subcommit- tee concurred with him in holding up the sensational Tohey report on the B. &O.-which is true. It is also true that Tobey could have re- leased the report on his own, tho this would be most unusual pro- cedure.

 Genial No. 2-Several days ago th.s column published the text of a letter sent by President Truman to OPS administrator Mike Di Salle. comparing Di Salle's deflat- ing wit with the use of "trocar on a eloyered bull" Immediately a Di Sale spokesman told inquiring neHsmen that the text of the let ter was not accurate.

 Army Denials
 Denial No. Son March T, this column reported that the army was stil holding back true casualty figures in Korea, had failed to in- clrde "noncombat casualties" and e.ted as an illustration that Gen. Walton Walker wasn't counted as a casualty because he happened to Ee killed in a jeep accident This is also true of frostbite cases.'
 "Noncombat casualties the col- uma further stated, would increase our casualty figures by nearly 50 per cent"
 Later that day the army issued a blistering denial, stating that the ,lgmn was a deliberate and ir- responsible misrepresentation to discredit the army
 The denial branded as absolute ly false" the column statement that Gen. Walton Walker wasn't off, ciaily counted as a casualty be- cauee he happened to be Killed in a jeep accident"
 Last week, however, Senator Bridges Of New Hampshire, reveal ed that Gen. Omar Bradley, chair man of the joint chiefs of staff had testified that the total battle and nonbattle casualties in the Korean war is substantially more than double the announced total of battle casualties."
 General Bfadiey's testimony, la ter made public, also showed that Senator Hickenlooper of Iowa had asked him: Was General Walker considered a battle casualty?"
 No sir Bradley replied, Gen cral Walker would be carried as a nonbattle casualty"
