ABSURDITY IN FLORIDA

committee of the Florida Senate has killed a resolution calling for an investigation of The Miami Herald and its publisher, John Knight. This is hope f indication of sanity in a legislature in which there has been lot of talk about punitive action against newspapers says the St. Louis Star-Times.
 The senator asking for the Miami Herald inves- t4ation said it would be to determine if the papers policies were aiding the Communist conspiracy to sabotage representative government" Anyone who has followed the conservative policies of the Knight papers knows the absurdty of the senator's suspicious
 The reference to communism is just crude window trimming for the efforts of certain Florida politicians to get even with The Herald and The Tampa Tribune for helping blow the lid off gamblings close alliance with politics in Florida. Senator Kefauver praised these papers for their efforts after bis Crime lnvesti- gatng Committee had looked into conditions in Florida
 When politicians talk of investigating news papers their real purpose is intimidation They don't like to be under the close surveillance of an alert press But it was permit this very surveillance that free press was guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.

ENTERTAINMENT E REASON INCREASE
 POWER OF STATION

NOME, Alaska, June 19- R-A A military spokesman says that the Air Force has no intention of us- ing a more powerful radio station to offset Russian propaganda.
 The only reason for increasing the wattage of the Air Force sta- ton in Nome is to get information and entertainment to military per- sonnel in the most isolated areas of Alaska, he said.
 The power is not being increased for any international reasons what soever," the spokesman said. That type of activity would have to be handled by the State Department"
 The only American station in the Arctic Boring Sea areas, 50-watt station at Marks Air Force base here, is being increased to 1000 watts. This will provide entertain ment for troops and for the natives, who are avid radio fans.
 Nome residents listen to the American station and to Russian station which broadcasts from across the Bering Straits.

BIC AIRPORT
 FOR HAYNES


 ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 19- lR The Civil Aeronautios Adminis- tration has approved plans and spe- cifications for construction of three airports by the Territorial Depart- ment of Aviation under the Federal Airport Aid program.
 The airports, all of which will be long enough to permit DC-3 oper- ation. will be at Quartz Creek in the Kougarok district north of Nome, at Eagle on the Yukon river near the Alaska Yukonv Territory boundary and at Haines in South east Alaska.
 Because of military requirements, the field at Haines will be longer than the others.
 The GAIA also approved a S25,000 graveling project for the airfield at Dillingham;, which is still under construction.
 Also expected soon is approval for a larger air field at Seward.
 All of the jobs, including Seward, will total half a million dollars.

Political Maneuvering

However, the new military code specifically requires that judges be appointed from civilian life, and the Defense Department, in order to appoint Colonel Brosman, was trying to sneak around this provis- ion.
 The second judge, George w. Lat inner of the Utah Supreme Court, was selected by General Vaughn. While he may be a good judge, his primary recommendation seems to have been that he served in the National Guard with Vaughn
 Third judge was put across by popular Attorney General McGrath, despite McGrath's earlier statement that he wanted nothing to do with these appointments The judge is ex-Gov, Robert E. Quinn of Rhode Island, and here is the reason he got the job.
 McGrath and his law partner elder-statesman Senator Green of Rhode Island, had promised Quinn a federal judgeship. However, the judgeship was given to ex-Sen. Ed Leahy in order to get him to retire from the Senate to make room for ex-Gov John Pastore of Rhode Is- land, another McGrath law part ner.
 Pastore is now safely in the Sen ate. and Leahy is safely on the federal bench. But this left Quinn out in the cold. And when he threatened to raise squawk, Mo Grath and Green pressJred the White House into appointing the ex-Goyernor to a 15-year term on the new and nonpolitical military court.
 Tragedy is that Quinn has some of the dictatorial brass-h -hattedness that needs to be. cured in the Army As Governor of Rhode Is- land he called out the National
 Guard to close down the Narragan- sett race track after feud with the manager. A simple court injunc- ton would have been adequate in stead.

 Humphrey said he preferred a mass walkout.
 However, Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas favored sending in conser- yative southern Democrat to hit back at Mccarthy. Anyone else who tried 1t would be branded as Com munist by Mccarthy. Johnson ob- served. He suggested George of Georgia or Byrd of Virginia, since Marshall lives in Virginia and Byrd made the original motion in favor e. Marshall's nomination.
 However, McMahoh of Connect icut warned that it was an "imposs- ibhty trying to debate with McCar- thy, because you never can pin him to the facts of the issue
 He added that Marshall had sta- ture enough to withstand the Mc- Carthy blast and suggested that the McCarthyites had lost the MaeAr- thur fight, and McCarthy's attack on Marshall was "a deliberate at tempt to gain the offensive again. The only way they can make the MacArthur position stand up is to undermine the character of the ad- ministration witnesses

G. I. Injustice

The c. l., who is supposed to get the best Of everything when it comes to guns, ammunition and food, has never got top military justice Up until recently the courts martial and military justice systems ef the armed services have been as oat Of date as horsedrawn artillery.
 And, thanks to wise-eracking Gen. Harry Vaughan and politics-playr ing in the Justice Department, it looks like a reform of military jus tice might be side-hacked. For Vaughn and Attorney General Me Grath have just appointed two of their henchmen as judges on the important new military Court of Appeals.
 This new military court came as a result of the scandals of World War II. During the war it became obvious that Army justice was as out of date as the cavalry, and thanks to the prodding of a small group of civilian lawyers, headed ky Richard II. Wells of New York Congress passed an excellent new uniform code of military justice
 The Supreme Court for this new code is the military Court of Ap- peals, and last fall Judge Bob Pat terson, former Secretary of War come to Washington and urged General Marshall not to appoint political hacks to this key court Marshall concurred and it was ar ranged that the new military jud- ees should be selected from a list Of candidates nominated by the American Ear Association.

 MT. Truman, however, did not agree with his cronies and person. ally requested that the American Ear Association submit a list of judges, it considered qualified for the military Court of Appeals. At that time, incidentally, Attorney General AdcGrath said he wanted to have nothing to do With the ap- continents, that their selection was wholly up to the Defense Depart ment.
 Finally, an excellent list of ju- dicial candidates was submitted to the Defense Department, including Professor Edmund M. Morgan of the Harvard Law School, chief draiter of the new military code. But none of them was appointed.
 Instead, the Defense Department hastily telephoned Paul Brosman of Louisiana, Dean of the Tulane Law School and a good man, then serv- ing as Lieutenant Colonel at Nit chell Field. He was told to resign his commission immediately. He did so-though, by executive order, no officer has been permitted to resign since the outbreak of the Korean War.

No Hearings Planned.
Judiciary committee officials said
they do not plan hearings. They
noted that the Hoey subcommit-

/ SINGAPORE, Oct. 6.-Commu-
mist guerrillas today killed British
High Commissioner Sir Henry
Gurney in ambush just three
years to the day after he had
taken charge of the bitter war
ito stamp out Red terror in the
Malayan jungleS.
Sir Henry'S secretary and chauf-
Ifeur and 13 soldiers in his armed
escort were wounded as his con-
voy nosed around an IS" turn
on a mountain road north of
Kuala Lumpur. capital of the
Malayan Federation.
Lady Gurney. whose car was
following the convoy. threw herself
on the floor and escaped injury.
EyeWitneSses said the 53-year-
old Sir Henry was a victim of
his own bold, yet calculating show
of courage. More than any other
official, it was his habit to travel
the remote roads and jungle paths
to see for himself how the war
was going in this rich tin and
rubber country.
Insisted on Pennant.
A lean, cold-eyed administrator
who was chief secretary of the
British Palestine government
when the Arab-Jewish strife was
at its height, Sir Henry was a
stickler for correctness, He in
sisted on flying his pennant even
though he knew it marked his
car for snipers.
The High Commissioner and his
party were driving from the
Steaming heat of the Malayan
capital for a week end of rest
at Frazers' Hill, resort north of
the city.
A large band Of guerrillas
opened a heavy automatic fire
from a jungle hillside so yards
away when the three-car convoy
was about two miles from a
mountain pass leading to the hill
station.
Mohamed RaShid, a wounded
Malay constable. said Sir Henry
staggered from his Rolls-Royce
sedan and fell face downward on
the grass after the first burst.
Soldiers Return Fire.
Thirteen soldiers in an armored
car returned the fire. All were
wounded in the Commute battle.
A radio van in the convoy also
was damaged.
Sir Henrys car lad two of its
tires punctured by bullets. The
driver was wounded as he jumped
out.
Lady Gurney's driver. who was
considerably to the rear, stopped
when he heard the firing.

tary who was slightly wounded,
