Item: The same article asserts that when he was in the Senate MT. Truman called a columnist "so and so' and threatened to go down to his office and shoot" him if he said another word about the Truman family.
 The last item seems particularly significant, be- cause it is true, it shows that MT Trumans recent displays of lack of self-control not merely the result of the strains and vacations of the Presidency ut rather are the reflection of an ngrained trait or weakness.
 As we have said before, do not deny MT Trumans right personal indignation over an assault upon himself or an affront to his family. But, Ii a man is to measure up to the standard of character suitable for the management of the greatest nation on earth he should not be of the type who goes around threatening to shoot people, punch them n the nose or given to the writing of vuperative let ters and the use of obscene insults in public

Unfortunate Press Conference

Unfortunate Press Conference His second mistake was to hold a press conference, which again was outside the line of duty, and dur ing which he made unfortunate statements taking credit for the
 victory"
 T have entered villages in war time which have been in the grip of the enemy for three years" he announced, And I know what their gratitude means. But never have I seen, even in those days, such expressions of gratitude as froro the crowds today ~The Washington Board of Trade, , quite a conservative organization, meanwhile passed a resolution pl aising the Washington police for 7, their compassionate feeding of the bonus army.
 Historians, who will have a chance to view the events of the past week more dispaSsionately than the public comment of today, will be interested in evaluating the steps by which General Macarthur, a none-too- o-popular figure two de- cades ago, staged such a terrific popular comeback.
 One reason of course, is his bril- liant handling of the occupation , of Japan-a management of g conquered people which history will probably say far surpassed his mill itary achievements.
 Several others should share credit for victory in the Pacific-Admiral ] Nimitz, Admiral Halsey, Gen. Wal | ter Krueger and Gen. Robert Eich- elberger. But no one can ever de- tract from the superb manner in which Macarthur stabilized Japan and transformed suspicious, hos tile people into genuine admirers of the United States. That, histor- | lanS are sure to say, Will be Mac Arthur's greatest claim to fame.
 But another reason for the
 change in public opinion is the fact
 that on that other march down
 Pennsylvania Avenue, Macarthur
 was the evictor, the bonus army
 was the evicted. Now it is the other
 way around. Macarthur is the ev-
 icted-evicted from his command
 in Tokyo.
 And the American public always sides with the evicted-as it die
 during that march down Pennsyl- vania Avenue in June, 1882, as i
 does during today's march up the Avenue; and as hope it alway, will

Something Smells
(Ketchikan News)

(Ketchikan News)
 Touting Gunnard Engebreth, president of the Senate for delegate to against Bob Bartlett as the next Delegate from Alaska indicates that all is not well between the Democratic machine and Bartlett.
 Robert Atwood, editor of the Anchorage Times Republican, who has supported the Gruenlng Demo- cratic machine is sponsoring Engebreth It IS likely he also will have the blessings of the McCucheons o the Third Division.
 Atwood says support of Engebreth is among ho- era Republicans Also that Engebreth Tn the recent lepisatiye session ofteh crossed party lines to vote with majority of the Democrats and two other Re publicans Anita Garnick of Juneau and Percy lpa- look of Kotzebue."
 Now what puzzles is why efforts are set n motion to give Delegate E. L. Bartlett the heaVe-ho by the gang" Was it his refusal to go along "lVn the Ciruening gang to try and purge Jim Nolan pi Wrangell and his possible refusal to help get Lew Williams.
 Whatever the reasons, they wou be interesting to know definitely and it shows definite split In the Democratic party, the od-lne Democrats vs the Socialist Democrats

Press Comment Turns

The tables are turned also in an- other interesting manner. MacAr- thur. after driving out the bonus army, was unpopular in the ex- tIeme The Veterans of Foreign Wars. which praises % him today was bitter in its denunciation then And the Scripps- s-Howard neWspa- pers, which champion Macarthur today, felt quite differently then.
 Revolution has been threatened, General MacArthur, chief of staff of the U. s. Army, announces from the White House" said the Scripps- Howard Washington news. "This is untrue. The veterans, ridden down and slashed by MacArthurs troops, were insurrectionists, &C., cording to the General. This is un- true. . |. Revolutions cannot be threatened by unarmed men. The bonus marchers were unarmed.
 What a pitiful spectacle is that of the great American government rlightiest in the world, chasing un- arl3ed men, women and children with army tanks"

MRS. THORNTON WILL
 RETURN TO KET(HIkAN
 WITH OPS OFFICE SUN.

Completing 29ls years in one office is the record of Mrs. Flor ence Thornton who leaves her po- sitlon as Personnel Assistant in the 17th Coast Guard District office this weekend to transfer to the new Office of Price Stabilization at Ketchikan.
 Her position in the Coast Guard was transferred from Ketchikan to Juneau a year ago. Since she was close to completing the 30 years required for retirement, she reluc- tantly left her home and husband, Laurance c. Thornton, a mechanic at the Coast Guard Base, for a temporary period in Juneau.
 Mrs. Thornton, as Miss Florence Tobin, entered the former Light house Service in 1921, coming to Alaska from Quincy. Massachu- sets. She continued in the same office when that service was mer- ged with the Coast Guard in 1889.
 She says she is happy to return to her family and friends but will miss her Juneau friends. Her bro- ther, Emery F. Tobin, publishes The Alaska Sportsman. Her father, August L. Tobin, an early day prospector in the Koyukuk district, spent over 40 years in Alaska and had several geographic locations named after him in the Interior. MT. and Mrs. Thornton both plan to retire in about two years.
 While in Juneau, Mrs. Thornton has been active in the Creative Writers Club, the Pioneer and American Legion Auxiliaries and the Methodist church. She leaves for Ketchikan on the Denali Sun day.
 Mrs. Inez H. Hogins will replace Mrs. Thornton as Personnel As sistant in the Coast Guard office

Changes on Penn. Ave.

There are other changes between that march nearly two decades ago and that of today. Macarthur himself, man with a photographic eye, will doubtless be the first to notice them.
 As he leaves the Capitol and goes up the Avenue toward the White House. he will pass along the Mall, one of the most beauti- ful parks in Washington--stretch- ing from the foot Of Capital Hill to the Lincoln Memorial.
 MacArthur has never seen this park before. For, during that other march down Pennsylvania Avenue, it was partly a grove of trees around dilapidated houses, head quarters for the 10000 nondescript pathetic veterans who came to Washington during those depres- sion days seeking relief for their l families.
 MacArthur will also pass by the Mellon Art gallery, one of the most beautiful buildings in Washington which he has not seen before. Ii was at this point, when he passed on his previous march down the Avenue, that negro veteran waved a big American flag anc dafeo MacArthur" cavalry to ad. vance.
