Opponents Spent Money 10 Defeat
 Him, Replies Tafi

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26- R - Senator Taft (R-Ohio) describes as completely false" the assertion by President Truman that special in terests" poured money into Ohio in 1850 to re-elect Taft to the Senate. Testifying at a Senate hearing Taft said it was his opponents, not his supporters, who poured out the funds in the campaign He added ::
 "They were guilty of excessive use of money, pouring funds into Ohio from every state in the Union-they used false front or- ganizatiOns, they sent carpetbag- gers and outside organizers into Ohio, they based their campaign on lies and misrepresentations about my personal life."
 The campaign against him, Taft declared, represented a sinister conspiracy" in which his opponents apparently would stop at nothing" l" . Taft, now a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination next year, was reelected to the Sen- ate in 1850 by 43O,000 vote margin over Joseph T. Ferguson, his Demo- cratic opponent.
 Ferguson charged during the cam- paign that excessive expenditures were being made in behalf of Taft.
 An investigation is being conduct ed by Senate Elections subcommittee headed by Senator Gillette CD- IoWa)
 Taft said he welcomed the in
 vestigation if it also went into
 expenditures by the opposition and inquired into defamatOry litera-
 ture Taft said was circulated
 against him. Gillette said the group would inquire into all
 phases of the campaign.
 President Truman said in a recent address to the National Democratic Women's Clubs here that special interests poured money into Ohio l last year" to elect Taft and now they will be thinking that if money can win an election in Ohio, maybe money can win a national election 7

End Division Demos Endorse Butcher, von Der Heydf for Jobs

The people of Nome, and Alas ka's Second Judiciary Division, have become somewhat alarmed at the continued lack of U. s. judge and district attorney. The judgeship has been vacant since the resignation of former Judge Joseph w. Kehoe, two months ago, to accept the position of Sec retary of Alaska. The district at torneyship has been vacant since the President of the United States summarily dismissed the former incumbent, Frank Bingham, for continued absence in the states, from his post of duty. This ab- sence ran into Il months of his last official year.
 The Second Division Democratic Committee has endorsed Harold J. Butchsr, Anchorage attorney, for the judgeship, and James Von der Heydt of Nome, present U. S.. Commissioner and practicing at- torney, for the district attorney ship, says the Nome Nugget of November IA. Both names have in turn been presented by Delegate Bartlett to the Department of Justice at Washington, D. c.
 They have also been endorsed by Alaskas Democratic National Committeeman, Howard Lyng, of Nome and by the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce, with headquarters at Nome. Nome and the Second Division are pres ently without a Bar Association.
 The Department is now making their customary investigation by the FBI, and this routine matter should be completed within the next 30 days or sooner, when their names will be sent to President Truman for appointment. What is called a recess appointment will undoubtedly be made, with confirmation by the Senate, fol- flowing the resumption of the Con- gress next January.
 Wendell P Kay, a prominent Anchorage Democrat, has the sup port of a Democratic faction 1T Anchorage for the judgeship. This faction has voiced strong opposi- tion to Butcher.
 Last Saturday, the Anchorage Bar Association took formal ac- ton to declare both Kay and But
 cher were qualified candidates fol
 the vacant Nome federal judgeship

Communication
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
 I agree with you. The headline and text which appeared in the November g issue of the Empire: Red Garland Fund) Exposed" is of the utmost interest to all AL askans-both Democratic and Re- publican.
 The reading of this article brought to mind question that vitally con- cerns all Americans, during these fund raising days, namely: How can a person, anxious to serve or to contribute to worthy American cause, know, or learn from the name of an organization, operating LEGALLY in the United States, if said organization is operating in the interests of the United States or in the interests of Russia. It evil dently took the United States Gov ernment 27 years (the Garland Fund was started in 1922) to catch on to the true purpose of this leg ally constituted American Fund for Public Service" and it took the DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE three additional years to print the re- suits after they were published by government investigators! Charity can't wait that long.
 also wonder if the article would have been published at all if the present Governor of Alaska hap pened to belong to different pol itical party.
 It appears, that for the sake of politics, you overlooked the really big question which your own feature headline brings up before the pub lie.
 Yours Very Truly,
 J. MALCOLM CREAMY

News That DOwny
Mildew On Limas Can
Winter In Ground

A big step has been taken to-
ward cOnquering dOwny mildew OF
lima beans. There is now concrete
proof that the fungus that causes
the disease can live over winter
i'm the soil.
DR.. ]. w. Heuberger, head of the
plant pathology department at the
University of Delaware, has an
nOunced that lima beans in green
house tests. got the disease from
the soil. Last summer, diseased
lima bean pods were added to some
soil. This soil was buried outdoors
last winter. Then it was brought
into the greenhouse on June 5 and
planted with disease-free limas and
kept under disease-free conditions.
On June 2S, dOwny mildew appear
ed on some of the plants.
DR.. r. S. Cox. associate plant
pathologist, and DR.. r. A. Hyre,
regional pathOlOgist with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. are
responsible for this last important
research.
Downy mildew has been a con-
stant threat to lima beans in Della
ware since 1945, and the University
has conducted research on it sirSH
1916. Now the scientists know how
the disease lives over winter. th"v

SEPTEMBER

Regardless of ones stated opinion
on the opening of school, it does
bring a few days or weeks of new
interest and new pleasures. No
small part of this excitement comes
in seeing people who have been
away since June, hearing of their
activities and relating ours to them.
Degrees of suntanning and weight
gains and losses are sources of en-
tSIsiasm. Then comes the settling
down to classes and the extTa,cur-
ricular activities that can make
student days so busy and so profit
able.
There are several activities of the
summer that should be carried on
throughout the year. In summer,
much time is spent out of doors.
AS indoor activities increase we
are apt to forego being out of doors
and unconsciOusly deny ourselves
its benefits.
Summer activities brought good
appetites Except for the days of
extreme heat. Meals were not
missed. Busy school programs can
occasionally cancel any thoughts
of dinner. Then there's always that
big problem of the students not
eating breakfast. This year let's
get right to the crux of the mat
ter. If your home is one in which
the breakfast procedure is not 8
source of pride, find out if it's {
case of having to set the alarm
clock ten minutes early. Ten min
utes is often all that's needed.
If the appettes are not good, try
some different foods for breakfast
Some people find the shower OIL
bath before breakfast does wonders
in making breakfast source o.
pleasure and a time to get "A toE
of the days food needs.
Above all if it is possible, see
that members of the family do no
eat alone. Differences in schedule
often result in more than Ont
breakfast being served in the home
Yet eating alCne can decrease tht
desire for food. Children RESPOND
to this so often and the cause /!
unknown TO them. If it's not pos
sible to have members of the fam
lily eat together, the mother can us
ually be on hand to sit with tn
child, to listen to all the earl,
morning stories and at the sam
time provide encouragement TO
eating, just by her being there
Eating breakfast does pay good re
suits. Don't deny your childrel
these benefits when they are S
readily achieved.
