shortest and quietest but most tell ing speeches of the session; from Glen D. Franklin and Mike The Voice" Stepovich; from quiet, un- assuming Frank Johnson, an able parliamentarian whose eagle eye caught many point overlooked by the lawyers in the House; and from Waino Hendrickson, Sim MacKin- non and others.
 But somehow, because of previous experience or education advantages or both, more was expected of these people than was expected of George. He had, in some quarters, been written off as man who would do his voting, but little more. But in this session he grabbed for the bootstraps and hoisted himself up. Without the long legislative exper- fence or the glib tongue of Demo- cratic floor leader McCutcheon, George Miscovich proved that he can hold his own in the rugged in- fighting that wins the final battles
 on the floor. And he showed beyond a doubt that he is man to be reckoned with in future sessions o1 the Alaska Legislature.

f HESE DAYS By GEORGE E. soKoLsKY
LawIessness and the Law

The Kefauver investigation is important and should be continued so that the character of dual gov eminent can be exposed. But the question must arise as to what can be done about this sordid business. The public is no more against bet than it was against drink during prohibition and while we might establish laws against betting or to make betting more difficult, we must watch out that we do not move into another prohibition sit- uation during which the marriage between lawlessness and govern ment was consummated. Certain problems need to be con- sidered not only from the stand point of our disgust with the mean faced gangsters whom we saw on ! television, but also from the broad CT position of maintaining our free institutions and constitutional gov ernment.
 For instance, I do not think that the Telephone Company should be law enforcement agency any more than Woolworth store should be law enforcement agen- cy. If Erickson or Costello or any of their kind apply for telephones the Telephone Company r should never have the right to reject their application on grounds of moral | turpitude That is a function of l the law, not of private business Whatever crimes these men com init, are their crimes. and for them they should be prosecuted in courts of law, in an open trial. in accord ance with the constitution. The men are guilty, not the mechanical , devices they use. ,a4@Q as.:3 It will in no manner lessen gamb- ling nor the power of gamblers to restrict their use of the telephone or the mails. They will find means 1 to convey their data, just as the

tain dispatches in newspapers, the senders and recipients of which | were innocent. The astute criminal and conspiratorial mind can devise means for meeting difficult situa- tions.
 This problem is one of law en- forcement. In Federal cases, that | is, in those involving activities in interstate commerce, the depart ment of justice is responsible for law enforcement. I am not as wor- Tried about gambling as about dope | peddling or the importation of sheroin, marijuana and similar drugs that weaken our. population. The gangsters that engage in such businesses should be prosecuted The fact that they may use tele- l phones or the mails in their busi- ness should not be considered any
 more than they use chairs and | tables. What we need to do is to punish these men and to punish
 them with the full force of the law. M s
 On the local level, it is the people
 who are really at fault. As long as
 only 50 percent of the Americans
 entitled to elect officials vote on election day, the voice of the peo-
 pie is not making itself heard in
 this country. When local law en-
 forcement officers and even jud-
 ges are known by their neighbors
 to be unfit men and yet are elected l year after year, respect for the
 law will not be very high.
 l We face, therefore, problem ir fundamentals. The real criminals | are the local officials. The req culprits are the people who vote for crooks, knowing them to bt l crooks, or who do not vote at all
 and thereby sell their own govern
 ments to the combination of gang
 sters and public. officials.
 l Until the people of this country
 recognize their own responsibility
 no new legislation will have any
 value. Actually, there are plenty oi
 good laws on the statute books
 which are not enforced. When Ab-
 ner (Longie) zwillman risked ci-
 tation for contempt, when asked t6 list those politicians to whom ht
 had contributed, he put the whole
 position clearly He admitted there by that it would incriminate him
 and the politicians if the people saw the pattern of association be. ' tween those engaged or who hac
 been engaged in underworld acti-
 vities and public officials.
 [ Lawlessness is our abiding sin as people, and our greatest danger is that government will collapse altogether if it has not already
 done so in many areas of American :. life. Turning the FBI into ma
 tional police-force will not solve ! this problem, for the worst of il
 remains on the local level where gangsters and officials are partners in the perpetuation of lawlessness When we, each one of us, recog' nize this and act upon it, thi
 camarilla of crooks, whether insid, or, outside the mafia, will cease tt } subvert this country. Passing nev legislation of doubtful constitution ality will not solve our problems it will only add more pages to oul law books. sisf@ 5 ss-Sx&A s@ aH

Thirty-first of a Series

Dr. Ernest Henry Gruening, Gov ernor of Alaska, held off for 59 days of the 20th session of the Leg islature, but near the end of the Goth and last day he was hack to his old tricks and was down in the halls and chambers, button-holing members, whispering, admonishing and cajoling.
 It was not apparent that he ac- complished anything very much by it. One of his particular interests seemed to have been in getting ac- ton on a bill creating a Territorial Department of Lands. The bill had passed the Senate. only to be ta- bled in the House. And when Speaker Bill Egan banged the gavel for the last time, the bill was still on the table
 Earlier in the evening the Dem ocratic floor leaders had moved to reactivate the bill. Indeed, mo- ton was made to lift it from the table and the motion was left dangling when the Democrats went into an hour and five minute cau- GUS to decide on their candidates for the Board of Administration or, if the story came out of that caucus straight, to keep Glen Franklin from place on the Board because he had voted too frequent ly with the Republicans.
 Whatever may have happened in the caucus, Franklin did get place on the Board-for whatever that place may be worth And when the election of the Board members was finished and the Democrats were ready for another try at breathing life into a Land Department George Miscovich requested joint session for confirmation of some appointments.
 In fact, he not only requested it he demanded it in a loud voice and in the ensuing hullabaloo the Land Department got lost com pletely. The bill, along with 3s others, remained on the table, te be shoveled out by the janitors the next afternoon.
 It was and is generally assumed that Governor Gruening was in- terested in the bill as a means oi providing job for some politica, favorite. And it is further assumed that this favorite was not George Miscovich. sttg
 The mention of Governor Gruen. ing and George Miscovich in tn, same paragraph something that i not likely to occur here with an. great frequency brings to mint another matter and prompts me t wonder whether George ever col lected his fiye-dollar wager iron the Governor.
 The wager concerned Territoria finances and the condition of tht budget for the 1949-1950 biennium Its terms are perhaps best recorded as the Governor himself statet

them before committee of the United States Senate on April 1, 1949
 Governor Gruening-The bud get, of approximately $18,000,000, is to be balanced, on estimates from the Tax Commissioner. We think it will be just about balanced.
 Senator Ecton-That is your honest conviction?
 Governor Gruening That is my honest conviction, and I do not think it is very far of. I have a five-dollar bet with George Mis- covich either way. He says we are going to be out a million dollars, and say we are going to be in a million dollars. Time will te l. l do not think we are very far out of line"
 Well, time and the chairmen of the Ways and Means and Finance Committees of the Legislature have told the story and the story is that the budget deficit for the piennium amounts to around two million dollars. It should not require a Congressional investigation at this stage to determine who owes who the five-spot.
