Weiss Also After Beorden,
But He'll Have to Bid Hiqh
By Burton Hawkins
Sior Staff Correspondent

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
Mar. 16.-The Yankees are seek
ing another left-handed pitcher
and are trying to acquire either
Bob Kuzava or Gene Bearden
from the Mats.
Two New York scouts were dis
patched to the Mats scheduled
game with Detroit at Lakeland
last Monday, but that game was
rained out. Another Yankee rep
resentative was in the stands at
Orlando yesterday when the Mats
beat the Tigers, Sd.
Roy Hamey, assistant to Gen
eral Manager George Weiss Of
the Yankees, admitted Manager
Casey Stengel is particularly in
terested in Kuzava, but indicated
the New York bosses also are pom
dering the availability of Bearden.
Bucky Not Impressed.
"I know the Yankees are after
a left-hander and I think they'd
prefer to get Kuzava," Billy Evans,
general manager of the Tigers,
said.
The immediate reaction OF
Bucky Harris, the Mats man
ager, on dealing with the Yankees
was anything but favorable, but
Bucky might forget his feud with
Weiss, at least temporarily, if
the Yankees put enough bait on
the hook. Harris has been bitter
at the New York club ever since
he was ousted as it's manager
after the 1948 season.
The Mats probably wouldn't
listen to any proposition for either
Bearden or Kuzava unless the
Yankees are willing to part with
two pitchers and one of two
catchers, Ralph Houk or Charley
Silvera.
Bearden had Hamey's eyes bulg-
ing with his three-inning showing
yesterday when he allowed nc
hits and walked only one. On the
other hand, Kuzava was clipped
for all the Detroit runs in the
second inning when he walked
three, gave up singles to Hoot
Evers and Don Holloway and was
raped for a double by Dizzy
Trout.
Only Two Get on Base.
After that bad inning, the Mats
pitching became brilliant and
only two Tigers reached base in
the last seven innings. Trout
singled off Sid Hudson in the
fifth and Bearden walked Pinch
Hitter Al Federoff in the ninth
Hudson, who had been both
cred by control in practice, was
a picture pitcher with his under
hand stuff. He retired the side on
four pitches in the fourth inning,
and Trout's single was the only
well-hit ball off the tall right
handler.
While the Mats trio restricted
the Tigers to four hits. the Mats
cuffed Trout and Rookie Wayne
McLeland for IL, including a
double and two singles by Sherry
Robertson, a double and single
by Eddie Yost and a triple and
single by Gil Coan.

DOWN THE HATCH"

Not long ago was National Maritime Day. m between Armed Day and Memorial Day it passed without recognition in Juneau It IS dli1cuI to op- serve all of the national days of the year. However the Down the Hatch" column of Charles Regal in the Seattle ost-Intelligencer made ths excellent commentary Maritime Day, and what he says is of vital interest to people in any seaport we believe.
 Following is MT. Regal's column:
 Everybody else will be writing editorials and mak- ing speeches in honor of National Maritime Day today so Down the Hatch would like to climb on the soapbox to add a few uncalled for remarks.
 "Whatever might be said about the present ana future of the American merchant marine, the pro- longed period of abor-employer peace on the water front cuts through the fog of pessimism like a beacon of hope.
 "N1avbe you haven't noticed but there have been no major waterfront tieups in Seattle or other import ant West Coast ports since 1948
 That is the most significant single factor in the maritime picture in the opinion of this department Continued waterfront production is the only hope this coast has regain it's lost tonnage NO matter what caused the labor management turmoil ln the three years after World War IT, it nearly wrecked he industry on the Pacific Coast.
 "I remember those bitter days I covered them or this newspaper The attitude of the unions was Those blank operators all they want IS to cut
 
 wages and get more work out Of the men. The ,perators said Those blanketybank unions, all they want is more wages and less work.
 "It was period of readjustment and it cost both sides and the entire West Coast millions of dollars That perod tapered off n l948, or whereabouts Botn tides seeemd to realize that the ship was sinking while they battled it out on deck
 "A seaman friend observed recently
 "'What good are the best wages ana conoluohS III she world if you have no ships to sail on?
 "He is 100 per cent right. And ii this IS lnter- ,re+ed ae a subtle slap at maritime labor, all can say is brother it again, carefully ana you will see that it certainly is not

Jesse Jones's Henchmen

Thus Capehart kept from the public the story of REC corruption until, four years later, Senator Fulbright of Arkansas unearthed entirely different scandals.
 In addition to the revelations in yesterdays Washington Merry-go- round, here are more shocking facts on the B & o Bankruptcy" case, as revealed in the suppressed report:
 l. After Jesse Jones had loaned S87 100000 to the B & O in 1889, Jones proceeded to put some of his own favored proteges into lush jobs with the B & O at higher sal aries. These included Stewart Mo- Donald. deputy loan administrator who became B & O's chairman; Russell Snodgrass, assistant general counsel who became B & O's vice president in charge of finance; F. L. Baukhages, an REC counsel, who oNo1 ICd ChCCublNG dS- Sistant and moved up to become B & O's general solicitor; and Cas- sius Clay, head of the RFC's rail- road section, who became B & O's solicitor.
 "RFS's failure to protect it's own interests" the Senate report com ments, appears on the basis of evidence before this committee to have been the result of RFC's carelessness and extraordinary complacence in dealing with a B & o management which included 50 many former REC officials"
 2. As the due date of the loan approached, Jones's proteges feared they might lose control of the E

ever, just as the report was 1in- ished, he was called to the peoside of his dying wife. Capehart took advantage of Tobey's absence and hastily called closed-d door meet m ing to pigeonhole Tobey's report.
 More money was involved than in Teapot Dome, yet it took only eighteen minutes for Capehart to order the report locked up.
 The meeting convened July 2o' l947. at 9 pm, and adjourned at 2:18 pm. Here are excerpts rom the secret minutes of that fateful meeting, which if it had voted the other way, might have changed the course of political history.
 Senator Capehart, acting chair man, explained the reason for the meeting, and a general discussion was held regarding the report, an- alysis of the loan of the Recon struction Finance Corporation to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad" " the secret minutes state. Senator Capehart suggested that action on the report be postponed and that chairman Tobey present the report to the Investigating committee when it meets to investigate RFC. Senator Mccarthy noted that cer- tain House committees because o1 the rush of business had decided to do the same thing, and that he concurred with Senator Capehart Senator Capehart suggested that no publicity be given to the report and mo announcement be made to the press at this time, and all copies should be returned to the Banking and Currency com mittee and put under lock and key"

back. conspired with Jesse Jones and REC officials to go into "fic- titious" and synthetic" bankrupt cy.
 After a review of the testimony at the hearings and the documents in the files presented before this committed" the Senate Banking and Currency report concludes, Tt is found that the B & O originated the idea of its present reorganiza- ton, persuaded REC to accept the idea sometime before April, 1944, and thereby involved REC in col lusive proceeding in bankruptcy"
 The suppressed report plus Sen ate hearings of the Banking and Currency committee is scathing in it's criticism of the REC and the B & o railroad. It tells how Cas- suis Clay, solicitor general of the railroad, denounced the bankrupt cy" as a fraud" and 'frameup."

Mink Coat vs. RR

A total of three lawyers resigned in disgust.
 For ethical and professional req sons," says the Senate report, MT. Clay refused as a lawyer to sanction a second B & O petition in bank ruptcy. Two other lawyers question ed the good faith of B & O's pro- posed bankruptcy proceedings-its veteran general counsel and law department head, John J. Corn well, and B & Os special counsel, Henry w. Anderson
 The mystery is why these char ges against an important govern ment agency were suppressed. Ob- viously an S87,000,000 loan to a railroad is more important than a 5000 mink coat worn by a White House secretary. Yet the mink coat has become a symbol of REC cor ruption, whereas the loan to the Baltimore & Ohio on which Uncle Sam is still owed $76,300,0O0 was hushed up.s
 Significantly, the Republicans were in control of Congress during the Senate probe of l947. If they had acted then, the scandals which have been exposed recently might not have happened. Furthermore, if the Republicans had published their report, instead of suppressing' it, they might even have changed the election results in 1948.
 Yet the REC was saved from ex- posture chiefly by two Republican Senators, Capehart of Indiana and Mccarthy of Wisconsin, the same Senators who are now demanding that the REC be abolished. Reason for their strange suppression was that Capeharts friends were mixed up in the 1947 REC scandal where. as President Truman's friends and his secretary were mixed up in the present REC scandal

 Elmer Friend, Alaska Daily Empire:
 The word is "RESIGNED"-not
 "RETIRED!" I refer to the article
 in last nights paper relative to me
 and my leaving the bank. After all,
 Elmer, I taught school for 30 years
 on salaries you could not brag about; I only work in the bank - I don't own it; the value of the dollar has shrunk a wee bit in purchasing
 power so any income had a few years ago is not of the same value today; and besides this, now have
 small daughter about two years Of age who sort of looks upon me for food, lodging and education. No, Elmer, it is true that I have resigned from the bank but it is certainly not true that l have
 retired. What am going to do after I come back from California about i, the middle of July, I do not know 1OT CtItdlIi do yCo. Ao To my AiSPS that I can stay here in Juneau that something will show up along my line and that I can do or be of service. But if not, then I will have I to go elsewhere.
 I hope that you will correct the slight error in last nights paper so that my friends won't get the wrong impression about what I am going to do. There is vast difference be- tween RETIRED and RESIGNED Sincerely,
 (Signed) A. B. PHILLIPS.

& O. in case the REC loan should he uaid off in 1924 and Jones should be busted from the REC as a result of the 1914 elections. 50 they hit upon daring scheme to plunge the B SO into fictiIious bankruptcy, and thus lock up nm. ancial control of the B & o until 1865. This strategy was carried out following conference between Jesse Jones and vice president Snodgrass on a private B x o car en route to St. Louis in December, 1943. M
 In this connection, the Senate report observes: The REC was formed to save railroads and other financial institutions from bank ruptcy, not to plunge them into it.
 Record Profits
 3. At the same time that the 5 & O filed for bankruptcy, it's net profits were higher than any other period during it's 120year history, and the railroad industry was booming with war business. Yet the B & O deliberately used these profits to buy bonds that didn't mature until well after the REC loan was due.
 The Senate report pointed out that the administrators of the REC have had concentrated in their hands the greatest financial power held by any group, private or pub lie, in American history. It. is the responsibility of Congress to learn from actual study how this power has been exercised and, if there has been abuse, to legislate to in- sure against repetition of such abuse"

Yet Senators Capehart and Me- Carthy ducked this responsibility and concealed the REC abuse from the public for four years. Even after the more recent REC scandals were exposed, Capehart and Mccarthy joined in publicly denouncing the REC, but continued to suppress the REC scandal that affected their friends. Meanwhile, the taxpayers are stuck with a s76,3O0,o00 unpaid B & O balance until 1865.

CONSTRUCTION ON STURM BLDG. HELD
 BY LACK OF PERMIT

The governors office, through Acting Governor Lew M. Williams, today contacted the National Pro- duction Board in an effort to obtain a permit to get materials for com pletion of the Sturm Locker plant being built at Ninth and E streets. The present location of the lockers in AB hall, must be moved to make way for the new Territorial build ing work on which is scheduled to start in the next few weeks.
 Robert L. Hosmer. representative of the National Production Author ity, who was here from the Seattle office week ago, stopped work on 5he new Sturm building on grounds that Sturm had not obtained a per nit from National Production Au- thority.
 Hosmer, who went on to Anchor- age and Fairbanks from here, is due back in Juneau in another week or two Meanwhile, it is hoped that the permit may be obtained to avoid added delay in construction of the new Sturm building or the Terri torial building to be erected on the site of the AB hall.
