The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

(Copyright. 1881. py Bell Syndicate. Inc
 (Ed. Note-This special column by Drew Pearson takes the form of a letter to the Attorney Gen. eral of Texas on the important question of tidelands oil and the improvement of our schools, now before Congress.
 July 26, 1851 Hon. Price Daniel,
 Attorney General,
 Austin, Texas.
 Dear MT. Daniel:
 I have your letter calling me most misleading and inaccurate in regard to your pending legis- lation on the submerged oil lands of the nation.
 Because your bill reverses the United States Supreme Court, the highest tribunal of the land; and because a bill contrary to yours is now before Congress turning the royalties from tidelands oil over to the school and colleges of the nation, I should like to an swer your letter in some detail.
 In my opinion, any reversal ol the Supreme Court whether by Congress, the President or any one else, is something all the Am erican people should know about and study carefully. They also need to give more thought to our badly sagging educational system. once the finest in the world, but now tagging behind many foreign countries in literacy results, m- cluding Japan.
 Personally l have 1elt that you

Coastal Pilot
 Spots Life Raft In Cross Sound
New Clues Found in Air. lift Plane Search; Fog Hampers co Cheek

Two more clues for the missing Korean airlift transport plane, which disappeared July 20 off Cape Spencer, developed yester- day.
 Alaska Coastal Airlines Pilot James Rinehart reported sighting an upside-down yellow life raft about 250 feet from shore near Column Point at Lisianski Inlet off Cross Sound, which is direct ly south of the cape. The obser- vation was made from approxi- mately 100 feet altitude and was verified by passengers. according to information received by 17th District Coast Guard headquar- terS here.
 Fog Hampers
 The Coast Guard cutter Citrus, working at Khaz Bay, 40 miles from there, was dispatched to the site to conduct a water search but reported operations hampered by fog early this morning.
 Another possibility being in- vestigated today was a report received by the searchmaster at Yakutat yesterday that fish erman out of Seward had pick ed up partly submerged case of rati0ns. It was reported that he kept the rations and threw the box away. A plane was to ge to Cordova today to inter- view the fisherman who is sup posed to be there.
 At the same time a query was sent to Canadian Pacific Airlines at Vancouver, B. c. where the airlift flight originated, to deter mine if any army type of rations were aboard the missing plane. The ship carried three United Ma tions personnel, 28 military men and a crew of seven.
 Yesterdays search involved "A aircraft which achieved cover age from 20 to 100 per cent, de- pending on cloud conditions.
 Weather May Clear
 It was expected that 21 aircraft would be engaged in operations today to comb the region from Dry Bay south of Yakutat, to the Kenai Peninsula and from 90 miles inland to 115 miles off shore.
 Fog clouds limited morning search in the mountain area but it was expected weather would improve this afternoon.
 The missing aircraft was on the first leg of a Vancouver to Tokyo flight and was due around ? am. at Elmendorf Field on July 2l. It made it's last rountine radio check at 11:17 pm. July 20 from the vicinity of Cape Spencer.
 Intensive search operations, un- der coordination of the U. s. Coast Guard here, have been car- ried on for the past two weeks. Coast Guard cutters and aircraft, U. s. Air Force planes, Royal Canadian Air Force planes, and airline aircraft have participated in the continuing operations.

Trial of Fish vioIaiors Is Today

Trial of five fishing boat cap tains for illegal fishing was de- layed today pending report from them from Sitka, H. L. Faulkner, attorney for three of the boats, said. s.
 However, Dan Ralston, law en- forcement chief for the Fish and Wildlife Service had something to say about fish law enforcement.
 Fishing seasons have been re- faxed this year in Southeastern Alaska, but there will be no less vigilance in enforcement regula- tions, Ralston said.
 That Ralston is aware of his duty was shown the morning of August I when he apprchended four boats in Tenakee Inlet and one in Rodman Bay on Baranof Island, for illegal fishing.
 The four bots in Tenakee Inlet, SJS II, Sea Ranger, Ginger N., and SIS were caught with their sets completed Is minutes before the am, legal opening hour. Ralston said, and the Tony K, he said, was fishing in closed area. f.mf
 Officials Nabbed
 Captain aboard the SJS II was Andrew Hope, member of the Ter ritorial House of Representatives and chairman of the House fish, cries committee in the 1851 ses- sion. On the Sea Ranger was Cap tain William R. Walton. chairman of the Territorial Board of Fish cries.
 Ralston, with pilot Bob Meek and Wildlife agent Robert Bain, from the Yakutat district. left Ju- neau Wednesday morning at 3:3O o'clock on an aerial patrol cov- ering part of the districts due to open to fishing at 6 am. six days ahead of the regularly sched- uled opening time.
 Aerial patrol" Ralston poin- ted out, greatly facilitates our job of law enforcement. Where . few years ago it would take whole season to cover an open ar.- by boat, ii can row be pa trolled by plane in day.
 Ralston said that before taking off from Juneau, the three men checked their watches with Civil Aleronautics Administration time to make sure they were correct. 4 Sight Violat0rs
 He said first they flew a trap patrol through Chatham Strait and then cut across to Tenakee Inlet. The four offending boats. he said, were sighted at 5:45 am, and all had completed their sets. Eight other boats were standing by awaiting the opening hour.
 After landing on the water and apprehending the offenders, RaIston said they flew to the Pyramid Cannery in Sitka, for which company the SJS III and Sea Ranger were fishing, to mo- tify them of the arrest and make arrangements for holding the fish in escrow pending out come of trial of the men, which is expected late today or tomor- row.
 The SJS and Ginger N, were fishing for the Hood Bay Cooper ative, financed by the Alaska Ma tive Service.
 On the return trip from Sitka the Tony K. another Pyramid Packing Go. boat was, found fish ing in Rodman Bay. a closed area. They landed, Ralston said, ana made the arrest.
 Faulkner will represent fisher men working for the Pyramid Packing Company at the forth coming trial and it is expected an Alaska Native Service attorney will present the Hood Bay fisher mems case.

lIII lNt 3rIfff Senate Group His Back Street. Campaign of Butler

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3, -R- A Senate subcommittee today de- nounced as a "despicable back street type" the election campaign conducted in behalf of Senator John Marshall Butler tR-Mdp last year. ads sore@rb q
 However, the subcommittee made no recommendation fora action against Butler, who defeated Dem ocrat Willard Tydings by some 43,OOO votes. .s ee te}
 The groups denunciation was restricted to the campaign con- duct of those who carried on Buffers campaign, but 1t said Butler twas negligent in respect to certain implied responsibili- ties of a candidate for high pub lie office.
 The subcommittee said in a re- port to the Senate rules cOmtnit- tee-of which it is part-that actually there were two cam paigns within one"
 It added:
 "One was the dignified Front Street campaign conducted by candidate Butler in his speaking coverage of the state.
 "The other was the despicab'e Back Street type of campaign, which usually, if exposed in time. backfires.''
 Tydings charged that the But lers campaign was a tissue of liesv and asked that the sub committee come to the same conclusion.
 Butler in turn accused Iydings of resorting to reckless ana un- justified attacks upon me"

Washington's 1st Woman
Convicted To Die In
Chair Is Freed

WASHINGTON, D. c. CNNPA)
- Miss Clotial Cox, 40, who was
to have been the first woman ever
to go to the electric chair here,
was granted her freedom in Dis
trict Court last Friday.
She had been adjudged insane
after conviction of first-degree
murder. Four government psychia-
trists testified she had recovered
at St. EliZabeth's Hospital. Judge
Henry A. Schweinhaut, before
whom she was tried by a District
Court jury for the fatal shooting in
August, 1913, Of Mrs. Hattie H.
Lavender at the Dunbar Hotel,
granted her new trial at the re-
quest of her attorney, Joseph Nc
Menamin.
The judge then told Assistant
United States Attorney Cecil R.
Heflin that he had no alternative
but to dismiss the murder charges
against Miss Cox, and Heflin
agreed.
The psychiatrists testified that
Miss Cox suffered from delusions
and hallucinations when she killed
Mrs. Lavender, a love rival. They
said she had suffered from de-
mentia praecox for fifteen years.
Witnesses at the 1949 trial told
how Mrs. Lavender married a
navy chief petty officer after she
and Miss Cox had dated him for
two years. Miss Cox slew her as
Mrs. Lavender was packing her
Dag in her hotel room to join him
in Norfolk, a witness testified.
The jury found her guilty of
first-degree murder. The death.
penalty was automatic. Two
months later she was placed in St.
Elizabeths as of unsound mind.
Court records going back to the.
S60s show she would have been
the first woman ever executed by
civil authorities in the District Of
Columbia. Mrs. Mary Surrat was
hanged by the Army here for her
part in the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln.

preached both morning and eve
ming services, last Sunday. He
seems to have the ability to get

forget his personal ailments, and
deliver pulpit orations worth go

choir is faithfully supporting
both morning and evening serv-
ices. At night the pastor had all
present who felt the need to
kneel at the altar in prayer, and
it made an impressive and in

kneeling there. The presiding
Elder, Rev. Howard L. Moore,
was reported still at deaths door,

speedy recovery. Since writing

OPS Explains
Hamburg Focts

BOSTON - Despite persistent
and widespread reports last
week to the contrary, Price
Sterilization Oflcials emphatic
ally state that Regulation 25
which placed ceiling prices and
other restrictions on the sale Of
beef starting May 14th, does not
prevent the sale or display Of
e-ground hamburg.
Published reports indicating
that dollars and cents savings
at the meat market would be
offset by either a drastic reduc-
ton in quality or the threat Of
a drastic beef shortage, were
sharply scored by OPS officials
as being entirely untrue.
The order not only provides
substantial savings for the house.
wife, but, in the case Of ham
burg. for example, specifically
limits the fat content Of pre-
ground beef to 30 per cent thus
guaranteeing the maximum
amount Of lean beef in every
pound purchased.
Charges that exceSsiv e
amounts Of bone and fat will be
included in beef cuts are en-
tirely without foundation as all
test-cuttings conducted thus far
have proven. Bay State meat
consumers viii be given an op-
portunity to witness a demon
stration Of meat cutting under
OPS ceilings via television on
the afternoon Of May 28th.
The truth about hamburg,
however. is that supplies Of pre-
ground beef are plentiful and
the price has been fixed by law
at 66 cents per pound in the
larger chain stores and super
markets and at no more than
10 cents in the small and indie
pendent stores or markets. These
prices must be consplcuously
posted in the market, from
June 4th on. so that housewives
win know they are not being
charged higher than the price
allowed by OPS ceiling.
Testimony as to the amount
Of beef for hsmburg on hand
comes from Massachusetts,
