HOW TO BE A VIP. Writer Dick Ashbaugh
(see "I'll Take Vanilla" Page 19) tells us this
story:
One of Dicks friends, radio announcer,
took his 10-year-old son to see his first big
league baseball game. Inning by inning the
boy became more excited. Finally he tapped
his father on the shoulder. Dad" he asked,
why are you just an announcer? Why aren't
you something really important, like base
ball player?"
His father, momentarily stunned, finally
said, Look, son. pretty soon I'll show you
how important am"
Sure enough little later the father got to
his feet and. in booming voice, said, Every
one in this park stand up - immediately!'
Everybody did, including the bewildered boy,
who didn't realize it was the traditional
seventh-inning Stretch

While each bold altar candle
Lets in a little light,
The hOrdes of the new darkness,
The legions of the night
May yet be put to fight.
The whisper of mans conscience
May shake the despot's throne;
The restless voice of freedom
Though terror tramps the town.
May hurl that madness down.

Memorial to Peace - for that is what those who died and those who lived both fought for. Whether they helped attain this peace through the giving of life health and sacrifice will perhaps be known in the years to
 But right now it is the few days to come not the years that will decide whether all the people in Juneau and this think these veterans did enough to be credited with such outstanding memorial.
 Heintzleman, hard-working chairman of the library board says he would like very much to have the money in hand when the building is turned over to the city. Surely the Memorial Library would be more of compliment, a thing showing more deeply the appreciation of the people of the area if old and new pledges put the fund lover the top instead of tagging.
 The building itself will represent the advance ment of education and the opportunity for informa- ton. The purpose of the building as a Memorial speaks for itself
 And money and pledges paid in full can make it speak effectively.

PUMPKIN, STALKS, ARRIVE

Stephen Ford, Secretary of the Douglas Lions Club announces that huge pumpkin, supposedly the largest available on the west coast together with corn husks and corn stalks, arrived this week via Pan American Airways for the big Com munity Ghost Walk" on October 31.
 Steve said he wrote Lions Inter- national at Chicago, who wired a District Governor in the State of Washington who arranged the lm- mediate shipment through Wash ington Lions Club to Alaska, "so that Alaska children could have the real stuff at their Halloween party"
 The big pumpkin is being hollow ed and carved by George Watson and will, together with the corn stalks, form the center of the stage decorations at the school gym- nasium. Other decorations have al- ready been set up, including nearly 100 posters made by children of first through the eighth grade stu dents. Prizes will be made and awarded at the party by a commit tee of judges.
 The actual Ghost Walk" will be parade of the children in costume of their choice. who will form in the school gymnasium at o'clock and be judged by committe head ed by Tom Cashen. Prizes will be awarded for several ideas in cos tumes and each child in the parade will receive a dime regardless.
 Games of skill all ranging from fishing in fish pond to throwing baseballs and basketoalls, pop gun shoots and numerous other games will be available to take care of the huge crowd anticipated. i It is hoped by the sponsoring group that parents and all adults of the community also be present as it is intended that there will be no trick or treating from the hom- es whatsoever. There will be plenty for the adults to do, includ- ing entertainment. and perhaps as- sisting in some of the booths if needed. This is whole community event.

KEEP YOUR PLEDGE

recently renewed plea through the pages of the Empire by Frank Hentzleman for the "$3OOo to s4O0O needed to meet the community's obligation" on the new Memorial Library of Juneau caused a reader to suggest that perhaps money would be forthcoming if it generally known to whom the Memorial stands
 We'll with the dedicatory services scheduled with in the next two weeks where the purposes of the Memorial will doubt be fully solemnized, it would probably be enough for to explain that the new building is a living memory of those who lost their lives in defense of their country in both World Wars, and to the many who went so far away from the Channel area, and from the ones they loved, to do so much
 Still it is not War Memorial. Rather, it is a

This is a project sponsored by the Douglas Island Woman's Club. and one worthy of the coop eration of everyone in Douglas.

Malone went out of his way to be friendly.
 MT. Smith," Malone asked, seek ing to draw out the witness, You do consider the situation at this time impossible from the standpoint of the City of Long Beach? In other words, without a modification of the Supreme Court decision or leg islation by Congress, you do con- slider the situation the city now finds itself impossible and practi- cally without rights if the decision is enforced2"
 This friendly questioning took place at about the time Malone's assistant was dickering with the Long Beach commissioners for the fat fee of $50,0OO plus taxes and plus expenses.
 But the Long Beach people did I not sign up. Whitehurst did not get his job.
 <AAAS AotSA, OSAldbOl MdlOlic COlll- pletely reversed his position. | In fact, Malone was the Senator who, with Murray of Montana, Democrat, blocked the OMahoney- Long compromise Tidelands Oil bill inside the Senate Interior commit te. This compromise would have kept Tidelands Oil under the con- trol of the federal government, though permitting present lease holders to continue. This would favor Senator Malones old friends from Long Beach who own leases but despite that fact, he voted against them.
 But it would not have favored his new friends, including various spectators who staked out claims to Tidelands Oil or those who want to lease under the federal leas- ing act. One of these groups is re- presented by the son of Montanas Senator Murray, and it was Murray who first moved inside the commit tee to block the compromise bill.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-10-30
CIVIL WAR SCRIP

The other group includes E. L. Cord, who has entertained Sen. Malone of late, and who has been buying Civil and Mexican War Scrip. This scrip was given to Civil and Mexican War veterans author izing them to claim any uninhab- ited lands in the west. After the Supreme Court declared that the Tidelands were federal domain, Cord began buying up this scrip on the theory that under it he could claim Tidelands Oil
 Significantly. Sen. Malone not only helped block the compromise bill which would have helped Long Beach, who did not hire his assistant but which would have hurt his new friend, Cord but in addi- tion Malone introduced a resolu- ton friendly to those who had scrip claims to Tidelands Oil.
 Whereas" read the Malone re- solution, certain lands have been filed upon through certain scrip authorized under prior successive Congressional acts. etc. resolved that the Senate of the United States through Its proper commit tee investigate such applications under the national oil and gas leas- ing act and filings made under the scrip authorized by prior Congress sional acts. :"
 Maybe the investigation of Vice Presidential Secretary Flo Bratton should be broadened.

THE wHITEHURsT LETTER

Tte manner in which the Senator from Nevada has taken different sides on Tidelands Oil, and the man. ner in which his administrative assistant was willing to sell his services, is a highly interesting chapter in backstage Congressional wire-pulling. Here is what hap pened.
 One year ago. Sept. 20, 1850, Ben Whitehurst wrote the Long Beach Harbor Board which has more oil wells sticking up from its harbor than most cities have telephone poles, offering his services. The letter was written on Senator Mall ones official stationery and read: Board of Harbor Commissioners City of Long Beach
 Long Beach, Calf.
 Gentlemen:
 q wish to thank you for your courtesies to me in our discussion 1 of my proposed part in getting through the Congress and over a possible Presidential veto Tideland legislation which would be accept able to the Harbor Board.
 You requested that inform you at once as to the kind of financial arrangement which would be satis- factory to me. I would want:
 ''Salary-none;
 "Expenses-S1, ,0O0 per month, pay able monthly; (this amount for ex- penses is required as I would im- mediately go off the U. s. Senate payroll) Plus the actual cost of any long distance telephone calls and telegrams relating directly to this matter and any travel author ized in advance by the Harbor Board, the cost of these items to be accounted for;
 "Retainer-s1,O LOGO, payable upon signing of contract;
 "Fee-S50,000 is a lump sum to be paid me upon passage of legis- lation acceptable to the Harbor Board or upon other settlement ac- ceptable to the Harbor Board; plus an amount sufficient to offset the federal income taxes involved.
 "If the principles of this proposal are acceptable to you, or if you pre- fer to suggest counter proposal, will you kindly have contract drawn up for my consideration.
 Yours Respectfully,
 "(Sgd) Ben Whitehurst "P.S. My home address in Wash ington is 1016 16th Street, North west, on Friday and Saturday of this week, I will be at the Desert Inn. Las Vegas; for the seven days following, I will be at the Mapes Hotel, Reno; my office is AT U.. s. Senate, Washington, D. O."
 At the time Whitehurst wrote this letter, Senator Malone seemed friendly to state ownership of Tide lands Oil and against federal own ership. Certainly when Irving Smith a representative of the Long Beach Harbor Board testified, Aug. IT, 1850, before the Senate Interior commit tee of which Malone is a member,

FEDERAL WELFARE CONTROLS

The Governors of the various states of the Union, in their convention reported to have dis played angry mpatience" with Federal controls in the public welfare field One of the things that the Governors approved is the move to give the states power and authority to publish lists of relief ros without the penalty of losing their Federal grants
 We heartily in accord with the governors insofar their mpatience" extends to publication of those relief rolls. We cognizant, however, of the necessity for Federal supervision of the forty-eight states in connection with funds advanced by the Federal Government
 When it to the question of publicity of those relief rolls, would go a step further. There is why there should not be full publicity of all those who receive money from the Federal Government, whether the payroll, the pension list any other group receiving money from the government. The rule should be applicable to Territorial and city governments as well.

THE matter is not an easy
one. Official Washington, bur
dened with the world affairs,
used to talking in terms
billions, is undoubtedly
amazed that we in these Is
lands cannot conduct our af-
fairs much as a well run con-
gregation does. But it is not
that easy. The possible way
cut might be for us to tap
every source for additional re
venues, induce new industries,
use our imagination even more
fully, & then be in a position to
pay our way, 50 that it will not
seem necessary for any effort
to curtail any function which
to us is a vital part Of our local
political life.
