 PLAN TAKEN
 CAUTIOUSLY
State Department 0ues- lions if if is Just Russ
 Political Move
By Associated Press

ny ASSOciato0 f'reSS
 The United States showed increas- ing skepticism toward the Russian cease-fire proposal today as Secre- tary General Trygve Lie hurried home from Europe to coordinate plans for LIN consideration of the Malik proposals.
 State Department officials ques- tioned whether the Soviet Unions Jacob Malik had not come up mere ly with political proposal designed to improve the military position of the North Korean and Chinese forces This view became known in memorandum distributed at su- preme headquarters in Tokyo. The memorandum expressed doubt whe- ther Malik had made his approach in good faith.
 Ridgway's Views
 Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, the supreme commander of LIN forces. commented:
 T would want an iron clad agree ment I'm not willing to take bill of poods."
 Malik proposed Saturday that the "Belligerents' in Korea discuss cease-fire and mutual withdrawal from the 38th Parallel. He mention ed no conditions. but yesterday the Chinese Communists, backing Ma lik's proposal. brought up the old questions of a seat for Red China in the LIN and the fate of Formosa. Lie interrupted his Norwegian vacation to fly here Asked what he thought of the chances of peace, he said that's what I'm going to find out"
 British Want Information
 Britain announced it was begin- ming talks in Washington with IS other governments which have forces in Korea The idea is to map some sort of joint approach to the Com munist nations to establish exactly what they have in mind in the way of cease-fire plan
 Nassrollah Intezam of Iran. presi- dent of the LIN general assembly, gave no indication whether it would be called into session on the Korean issue, He presided today at a rou- tine session honoring President Galo Plaza Lasso of Ecuador. Before the session, Entezam said he had not had chance to confer with Malik, who was reported i'll.
 Moscow Views
 In Moscow. Pravda printed an editorial saying the Soviet people are convinced that there exist all possibilities for a peaceful settle ment of the Korean question" It pictured President Truman as sup porting the 'Malik plan Actually President Truman said there must be real settlement" that ends the aggression and brings an assurance of security to the Korean people. The South Koreans, whose re-
 
 public was founded under LIN spon- sorship. officially want no cease-fire that does not reunite the entire Korean panjnsula. Gen. Ridgway visited President syngnan Rhee of South Korea today. Ridgway carried a set of instructions. supposedly from the U. s. government. but the nature of these was not made pub- lie.
 In addressing the LIN assembly at Flushing Meadow today. the Ecua- dorean president urged that the Ma lik proposal be explored thoroughly to create a tranquil atmosphere that permits appreciation of the problems according to their own merits"

Washington. To the G. I. in Korea:
 This letter is in answer to the many I have received from you asking the difficult question: Why do we fight?"
 It is not an easy question to answer. One year ago when we first went into Korea, felt certain l knew the answer. Then we were full of confidence; full of national up surge which demanded that we stop Moscow dead in its tracks; full of the feeling that we could do it in a few weeks with naval and air power only-+one hand strapped behind our back.
 Since then I've had lot of mis- givings about the Korean War. I've wondered whether we were wise in getting into it. And when I read

BARROW, UNALAkLEET
 STUDENTS ENR0UTE
 EDGE(UMBE SCHOOL

Fourteen Eskimo students from Point Barrow overnighted in Ju- neau last Thursday on their way to the Alaska Native Service Mt Edge cumbe School. The students-seven boys and seven girls ranging from 12 to Is years of age-were chosen for their scholastic ability and achievement and desire to advance their training.
 Students from Point Barrow have made an enviable record at Mt. Edgecun-be the last two years" said Max Penrod, ANS area edu- cationist.
 The students will complete the last part of their elementary work at Edgecumbe and then enter the high school there.
 A total of 15 students-seven girls and eight boys-arrived in Juneau r-rj1ay and Saturday from Unalakleet also enroute to the Mt. Edgecumbe School. These students take the place of the students who have been called into the armed forces form Mt Edgecumbe.

Battle of Tycoons

About that time Victor Emanuers influence began to wane, and the influence of rival tycoon, Floyd Odlum, began to increase. Both incidentally, had carefully sweet ened the kitty of the Democratic party, but in 1948 Odlum had gone down the line for Truman while Emanuel flirted with the Repub- licans.
 At any lte, today finds Richard c. Pattersyn, a satellite of Floyd Cdlun s on the board of General Anime, and significantly appointed as U. s. Ambassador to Switzer- land. Patterson has no outstanding qualification for the U. s. Ambas- sadorship to Switzerland, having recently served in an opposite area cf the Guatemala. However it may or may not be a coincidence that the Swiss are now doing their lest to take over General Aniline, in fact, have sued the U. s. government, while the Swiss government has made represent ations to the state department on behalf of the European investors in General Aniline.
 So naturally the question is be- ing asked as to whether a Floyd OdlUm man as ambassador to Switzerland could not perhaps in- tervene in this delicate, difficult situation.

ADULTS CAUSE DELINQUENCY
 DECLARES JUDGE FOLTA

Authorities in Juneau are aware of the fact of juvenile delinquency prevailing here. Some of the de- llnquency might be labeled smart while there IS q criminal aspect otherwise. Judge George w. Folta in an address at a Parent-Teacher Association meeting in Anchorage last week declared Juvenile delinquency is merely the product of an environment which we, the adults are responsible for and he expressed regret that justice deals with effects rather than causes of juvenile delinquency.
 He urged that parents and persons interested in young people get after environment, and censured such practices as leaving unlocked "as surely an in- vitaticn to crime loaded pistol citing the fact that invariably stolen car is used in every major crime hy young people under 18 years of age.
 Aside from environment Judge Folta cited liquor as perhaps the greatest single of juvenile de- linquency, with the unrestricted and ndiscrimnate use o1 Sn automobile running close second.
 Judge Folta stated that it puzzlng why per- sons interested in better environment for young peo- pie continued to tolerate, the main streets of towns,

Other Interesting political ap- pointments to the board of Gen. eral Aniline. made by a politically minded justice department, are: Morton Downey. the Coca-Cola singer, who is a delightful person. ality but knows little about dye stuffs; Colyin Brown, publisher of the Motion Picture Daily and great friend of eX-postmaster General Frank Walker; William J.

 Meanwhile, General Aniline's earnings have dropped. Meanwhile, also, the U. S. government has fol- lowed general policy of selling off ether German property seized during the war. General Aniline and Film, however, remains un- sold, and the juiciest industrial pawn in all party politics.

 He particularly pointed out the undermining of young persons standards by drinking scenes and im- moral behavior foreign the plot nerspersed in our movies placing a false light of smart sophistication on questionable conduct
 "Children don't do anything different than their elders as delinquents they are the product of un- favorable environments There must be an elevation of the moral tone of the entire nation Children are the hope of the nation but parents and adults must set better examples It unfortunate that the statutes calling for punishment of parents or guardians are not more often used.

each others back all the way round.
 However, lot of politicians had their eyes on the Giant German Swiss firm. Manufacturing as it does Ansco film, hormones, and 1000 different synthetic dyes, il was the juiciest property seized b the government during the war. Its factories spread out from Gras- selli, N. J., to Binghamtcn and Johnson City, N. r, and a total of Sl,000,000 a year was paid out to top executives and directors.
 So, in 1947, Bob Hannegan of Democratic National Committee fame. induced Attorney General Tom Clark to appoint Jack Frye as head of General Aniline. Frye, a party faithful, had been eased out of his job as head of Trans World Airlines, but now stepped into the presidency of the Giant German-Swiss Firm at $72,000.

One of the little noticed but fes- tering politilal so.Si of Washing ton is general aniline and film, the giant Swiss C. emical Cor Porai T, formerly affn sted with tie notorious I. c. Farbln Cartel and row pawn in the cutthroat game 9l Democratic poll ics.
 If 2 Senate Committee ever. pries into the. political ramifications oi General Aniline and film it will make the current probe of the Re- const- uetion Finance Corporation seem pailed by comparison. Tech nically. the German-Swis Company is suT cosed to be operated by the Alien Property Custodian Of the U. 6. Justice Department. But the justic- department has farmed di- lcc6cl os the company to various friea55 who helped Harry Truman get where he is.

Why the One-Party System?
(Ketchikan NeWs)

We wonder whether Delegate Bartlett and the members of the Alaska Statehood Committee are at tempting to abolish the two-party system in Alaska
 The Alaska Statehood bill, H. R. 1493, introduced conducted without reference to the political afillla- in Congress by Delegate Bartlett provides in the sec ton devoted to the constitutional convention:
 "The primary and the general elections shall be ons of the candidates The ballots used at such cleo lions shall be on-partisan and shall not contain reference to or designation of the political party affiliation of any candidate"
 What is Delegate Bartlett trying to do here? And why do the members of the Statehood Committee in- cluding Frank Peratrovich, William L. Baker and Mildred Hermann oi the First Division, approve it?
 Do they wish to substitute the one-party system of Hitler's Germany Stalin's Russia for tra ditional system of government?
 What is the deal
 Can i, be tat ome of the Gruening followers who aspire to seats in the convention afraid to carry the Democratic label with them on the ballot? Or is it merely method of conceang the unhoy alliance between the Gruening Democrats and the At wood -Rasmuson Republicans in the Third Division?
 Under the system set up by this bill, Atwood and Rasmuson can support Gruening Democrats on the one hand and aspire to control the Republican party in the Territory and to the selection of Rasmuson as Republican National Committeeman the other.
 If the sponsors of Delegate Bartletts statehood bill are contending that the business of constitu- tona convention is on such high plane that political parties be dispensed with then it must be that they are advocating the creation of a state in which the two-partv system will be provided fol or ever recognized.
 in this they are running directly counter to tha of

the Soviet Union would only agree to It, It could
be made to work because it is as nearly foolproof
as any disarmament program could be. Under
it there would be corps of impartial and expert
U. N inspectors, an exhaustive on-the- scene
inventory of arms and armed forces of every
kind. and the strctest sort of continuous policing
to guard against violations and evasions on the
part of one or another of the powers tempted to
prepare clandestinely for a sudden war of
aggression.
Clearly enough this plan is worlds apart
from the Russian plan. The latter-the essen
tials OF which were long ago rejected by the
overwhelming majority of the U. Ms totally
lacking in the kind of guarantees that must be
established before there can be any real progress
toward disarmament. The Kremlin is we'll aware
Of all this. The fact that Mr.. Vishinsky has
nevertheless offered nothing but the same old
line of goods-goods that the United Nations
will never buy-s evidence enough that the
Soviet Union is in no mood as yet to cooperate
