Judge Folta has the unanimous endorsement of the lawyers who practice in his court The Ketchkan Bar Association is urging immediate confirmation and says its action is based on his "uimpeachable qualities and good citizen and is made not withstandng any allegations to the contrary which may have been made by some members of the bar of the Third Division, which action on their part we strongly resent and disagree with"
 The Juneau Bar Association likewise cites his splendid record as a judge and exemplary qualities as man"
 While the Anchorage Bar Association has en- acted formal resolution, 19 members joined in sending telegram urging Judge Foltas immediate confirmation
 It is natural that the who know the judge best should give him such strong endorsements He is outstanding as of justice. His industrious ness, loyalty to his work and sincerity in seeking the truth in all matters that before him adds to his distinction.
 Nobody has yet made known any semblance of blemish on his character or integrity, the two grounds on which judicial busters based
 "T,he opposition from men who are ds- pleased with the outcome of cases before ms court The incidents that prompted their displeasure are well known and could be recited without fear of retuta-
 ton. They in the official court records Lawyers and others in Anchorage are well aware of them and discuss them freely. .." 'The people of Alaska can view with pride and qualification the fine records of their courts in the past. They have had every reason to maintain the greatest confidence in the weighing of justice the merits of the facts presented and not the political stature or power of parties in litigation. "The false issues which have been raised in necton with the reappointment of Judge Folta should be refuted before the Senate committee. This is matter that extends far beyond the realms of party politics
 "The opposition is unsound that the opponents of Judge Folta would be chagrned were the true reasons for their actions made known"

ested in this one, since many COP leaders and newspapers, including Life Magazine, have suggested that 1t was time for Senator Taft to divorce himself from McCarthyism. Taft's reply was neither yes nor no.
 Nobody should make charges he cannot prove behind the cloak of Congressional immunity" Taft said. At the same time Senator McCar- thy has done some good in alerting the country to the subversiye influ- ences in government"
 For an hour, Taft swung at these questions. chiefly on campaign is- sues, how to win votes and the need for party organization.
 For example, Congressman Charl- es Brownson of Indiana wanted to know whether the Taft Hartley law will be an issue in next years campaign and do you think the law needs some adjustments?"
 Taft retorted that, if it becomes an issue, it will be one for us." He claimed the Republican Party can show that it helped the work ingman by passing the law. This was the issue, he reminded, behind his fight for reelection in Ohio.
 'The smear campaign put on against me by the (CIO) political action committee only made votes for me-" he declared.
 Taft added that he favored amending the Taft-Hartley law, in- cluding a provision to end the un- ion-shop- election procedure.
 At 10 pm, Ayres cut off the questions and adjourned the off, the-record meeting. The rental time had expired on the banquet hall. A grinning, hand-shaking Taft depart ed, looking less tired than when he had arrived.

THE FOLTA CASE

The attempts being made by few individuals to prevent the reappontment of Judge George w. Folta have reused the indignation of citizens all over the Territory
 From Anchorage the home of most of the com- painants, heartening word in defense of jus tice Bob Atwood, in editorial in the Anchorage Times makes it plain that the individuals seeking Foltas removal from the First Division bench speak for themselves alone and not for the decent citizens of Anchorage and the Third Division. The editorial, in part, follows
 POLITICS VS JUSTICE
 An insidious effort to unseat Judge George Folta as presiding justice the Federal District Court for the F:.s. lJlvislon has become a challenge to the fundamental precepts upon which the administration of justice is concerned.
 Judge Folta, who has visited Anchorage voluntarily to help the overloaded court here has been renom- mated by President Truman for another four-year term on the bench. But confirming action in the Senate judiciary committee apparently is being de- layed as a result of opposition from small group of residents of this city.

REPUBLICANS CAN'T LOAF

The Ohio Senator puffed into the priate dining room at Washing tons Hotel 2400 an hour late, look ing tired, after long Senate ses- sion. He was taken in hand by Ohio's Congressman Bill Ayres, the host, who herded the COP fresh men into a line to have their pie lures taken individually with Taft. Somehow, waitress also wandered into the line and had her picture taken with the Senator.
 The Congressman then devoured $34O worth of fruit cup, roast beef, baked potato, string beans and strawberry sundae before Taft was called upon. He spoke for 20 minutes from notes on the back of an en- velope, reviewing his Ohio election campaign and comparing it's issues with the 1852 campaign.
 He stressed the need for hard campaigning if the Republicans are going to win the White House and Congress next year.
 "The reason I got as many votes as I did in Ohio," Taft declared, waving the envelope in his hand. was because I asked so many peo- pie to vote for me-"
 He warned that it would be a mistake for the COP to try to win merely by exposing Democratic cor ruption. Though he favored con- tinuing these exposures, he urged steady COP hammering at other issues, such as Communists in gov- ernment, the trend toward socialism and too much government spend- ing.
 After Tafts preliminary remarks, Congressman Ayres put Taft on the firing line and opened the off, the-record meeting to questions. He offered to screen the questions, how ever, by having them addressed to him first.

The opposition is based on personal prejudces Political power has been brought into play in an a-out effort to oust the judge despite his outstanding record jurist.
 If this movement is a success all the judges in Alaska will be on notice that their opinions and rulings, regardless of the legal basis for them, may bring fatal political repercussions.
 It would place the head of each political sword of Damocles that might fall should the judge and his court fail to please the political bosses
 Such threat to the impartial administration of justice is of great public concern This particular attack upon Judge Fota has merit and all the badges of reprisal
