Dear SIR
read the Blades editorial February z. It's funny
to me, regardless of what anybody does even t~c
majority of the membership at meeting, it's a4s
wrong unless it corresponds with what MIR. Block
wants. It seems i'm democratic union meeting Il
don't know if Mr. Block attended one not)
that Cyrus Martin any other member has right
to express themselves and Chuck Ballard has right
any other member has right to disagree with
him After all sides have had their right to free ex-
preston don't think anyone, including Paul BLOCK
of The Toledo Blade question the seriousness OF
thousand people in their voting
beginning to believe Mr.. Block is so full OF
connvery in different ways to befudd1e great num-
of people, that he believes is guilty OF
it, Everyone is not trying to influence tremendous
amount of people, The average person who goes to
the WHY'S Overland meeting is just person who
works on some jobs think he is capable of making
an honest decision Mr.. Blocks editorial would make
you believe everyone is dishonest.

May Take 100 Years Complete Chartingg g Of Alaskan Waters
By Frank w. Vaille

WASHINGTON, (P)-Although charts and soundings of Alaskan waters have been made for the 84 years of U. s. ownership, another 100 years may be required to com plete the work.
 That is the estimate of Comdr. Robert w. Knox, nominated by President Truman as assistant dl- rector of the Coast and Geodetic Survey.
 , The Seattle, Wash, t V e should know whereof he speaks. Of his 28 years with the survey, 20 have been spent at sea-12 of them in Alaskan waters. His latest sea duty was as commander of the survey ship Pathfinder, directing survey operations in the Bristol Bay area of Alaska.
 Knox view that it would take another 100 years to complete the Alaska work was brought out in questioning by Senator Magnuson when Knox appeared before the Senate Commerce Committee which was considering his nom- ination.
 Magnuson recalled difficulties of the Navy in World War II. One of his assignments as naval of ficer, he said, had been to find Alaska fishermen with sufficient knowledge of Alaskan waters to @keep the Navy from running aground.
 Knox agreed that charts were ''spotty." Southeast Alaska waters he said, are fairly well' covered, but Bristol Bay and the AleutianS are only "abou. half complete" !" Only reconnaissance surveys have been run in Prince William Sound. Farther north, except for work in connection with the Navy's oil op- eration at Barrow, the Arctic waters are virtually virgin area.
 The Boring Sea, he said, is the priority project now. Knox told a reporter later that many surveys made years ago have become ob- solete because of the size of pres ent vessels.
 Tn those days a ship with a draft of 12 to 15 feet was a big ship" he explained. 'Now they run to 24-25 feet"
 To illustrate the irnmensity of the Alaska operation, Knox pointed out that the territory has more miles of coastline than the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the United States combined.
 He said chartings are proceed ing at roughly 600 to 700 square miles year.
 Its faster, of course, out in the Boring Sea, where water is deeper than it is in a place like Bristol Bay" he added. "In the deeper water our soundings are farther apart"
 Knox was born in Seattle Oct. %, 1897, and was graduated from the University of Washington in 1923 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in civil engineering. He also served as technical advisor to a King County, Wash, aerial survey.

and we worked in that area 2
Senator Monroney asked. IF
you can raise a doubt as to q per-
sons loyalty, would that be good
campaign material?"
I'VE had 100000 Democrats in
Maryland who did not want to
vote for the nominee to the Sem
ate. That indicated that the doubt
was there. If you hit too hard you
might create a sympathy for the
nominee" Mr.. Jonkel replied.
Would you say that you ran

others ran the back street cam
paign?" Mr.. Monror1ey asked.
Mr.. Jonkel said he was con-
vinced that everything I'VE did
was right with the possible ex-
ception of what / did about ac-
counting for some of the money"
He added that the campaign was
designed to exploit the doubt as
to whether former Senator Ty-
dings had Whitewashed the Com

"Was the split in the Demo-
cratic Party. in your opinion. more
effective in the Republican vic
tory than the doubt you spoke

No Doubts of Loyalty.

Tydings himself had said, the
party did not support him. He
expressed the opinion that 1--WE
did not need the tabloid to win"

Oklahoma Inquiry Asked.
In letter turned over to the
committee, 10 o. Ferguson Of
Pawnee, unsuccessful Republican
candidate for Governor of Okla
homa, said to Chairman Mon
roney:
GAS one of your constituents I
suggest you investigate that ugly
rumor which persists relative to
the publication of four certain
extraordinary issues of the Still
water Gazette during the 1850
campaign.
These issues were OF the type
and class commonly known among
newspaper people as 'throw-aways.'
Being a former newspaper man
yourself, you will understand"
The issues, Mr.. Ferguson said.
were devoted to promoting the
cause of Mike Monroney" and
the election of Fair Deal candi-
dates. including the nominee for
United States Senator"
Mr.. Ferguson declared "it is
being told" that 100000 copies Of
each of four issues were mailed
under privileged classification
of sample copy" although the
Saltwater Gazette was entitled
under postal regulations to only
10.400 such copies for the entire
year.
"You can determine if only $500
postage was paid for each ISSUE"

ut should not be inferred from

bright announced at yesterday
hearing. that Mr.. Dawson's visits
to the hotel had anything to dc
with negotiations between bor-
.ower and lender. Nor should this
be inferred from my decision tc
place these excerpts on the public
records. I feel, however, that this
testimony should be in the public
record because of Mr.. Dawson's
close association with the RFC.'
Another section OF the teSti-
mony indicated that Mr.. Dawson
was not the only one who stayed
at the Saxony without having to
worry about the room rent.
Mr.. Sax testified that Senators
from both sides of the fence
have enjoyed visits as nom paying

explaining that the hotel arranges
for their complimentary stay after
they have checked in.
Mr.. Sax said he doesn't make
this practice widely known be-
