high ranking officers as observers
or as witnesses on unimportant

Membership in the countrys veterans organiza- tions has dropped to post low, the latest polls show. The four major veteran organizations - Ameri- can Legion Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled Ann erican Veterans, and Americans of World War II - have, however experienced different membership trends in 1851.
 The Legion and the VFW have both experienced drops iii enrolment, while the DAV and AMVETS claim their membership has been increasing Two reasons have been advanced for the dip in membership totals in the Legion and the VFW.
 Some officials say these veteran organizations have dabbled too deeply into politics. rather than connng interests to the field of veterans problems This has led to some disSension and drop in membership totals, according to school of thought Another reason advanced is the customary postwar drop in veteran interest This may be partly due to atti- tude by veterans that they have realized all or most of the benefits Congress going to grant veterans of World War II and therefore, have little need for connection with veterans group.

Agriculture Dept. Airing Predicted By Senators
By Edwin B. Haakinson

WASHINGTON, (P)-Senators Saturday predicted quick appro- val of full-scale investigation of multi-million dollar activities in the Department of Agriculture.
 "We should be able to make sin little less tempting to people, either in government or dealing with the government" Senator Aiken R-VD told a reporter.
 Chairman Ellender, O-L0 of the Senate Agriculture Committee which unanimously approved the investigation late Friday, said he expects quick Senate approval and $50,OOO to finance it.
 "A lot of people have been ac- cuSed of various things" Ellender said. "We hope to give them a chance to tell their story"
 The committee acted after hear ing Secretary of Agriculture Brannan and Comptroller General Lindsay C. Warren testify about several million dollars of short ages in government-owned grain and other commodities.
 Ellender said the probe vote was not a decision for or against either Grammar or Warren.
 It is estimated that between four and seven million dollars worth of government-owned grain has been sold by elevator and warehousemen, who are not agri- culture or government employees.
 This, Grammar said, in effect amounts to stealing" but he add ed: "We have reason. to hope that all except a million or less will be recovered from bonding com panies and receivership act"

SMALL BUSINESSES NEED PROTECTION

In the past, the small business committee of the United States Senate has warned the executive branch of Government that small businesses must be pro- teced during the mobilization program Shortages of vital materials and scarcity of workers are i- posing difficult problems for the small industries of the nation.
 In 1852, with even less steel copper and other vital materials allocated to industries which do not produce goods government orders with the defense program picking up speed, taking and work CTS away from small plants, small businesses will be squeezed even more.
 is important that business and industrial organi- cations give thought to measures that may keep the little factories running that when this armament race is over these small factories pick up again their important share of the nations total production
 Small industries are the backbone of our nation and consequently it vital that they not drowned in the current of our mobilization progran

Restoration of Carey, Acquitted of Bribe Charge Remains A Question

SHREVEPORT, La., (P) - Whether suspended US. Attorney Harvey L. Carey, acquitted on ribe-asking charges, will be al- lowed to resume his duties re- mains a question that only US. Attorney General J. Howard Me Grath can answer.
 Carey, accused of soliciting a $6o,000 bribe from Texas oilman Lewis Hart, was acquitted Thurs day by a federal district court jury.
 McGrath suspended Carey from office in December, 1850, after an investigation by the Justice De- partment.
 Carey was indicted by federal grand jury in March on charges he asked a $60,Oo0 bribe from Hart to "settle" 30 perjury counts pending against Hart and four of his employees.
 Carey denied that he suggested a bribe. He testified that he strung Hart along in, hopes of catching a briber' and to see If the Federal Petroleum Board was involved. .-4---

Churchill Leaves Capitol After Give-and-Take
 Conferences with US.

WASHINGTON, (PD - Prime Minister Churchill left Washing ton Saturday after series of con- ferences believed to have brought closer understanding between the United States and Britain on the part each will play in their part nership against communist ag- greSSion.
 The aging apostle of British naval prestige withdrew his ob- jections to appointment of an Am erican commander of western sea power in the Atlantic as his final official act here. It was a major concession, even though he re- served the right to propose mod ifications" later.
 But Churchill apparently gained as much or more than he yielded in his two week visit. For one thing, he had the pledge of one million tons of US. steel in ex- change for British tin and alumni mum. And even in the matter of the Atlantic command he won concessions from this country.

Eskimo National
 Guardsmen Train At Ft. Richardson
FORT RICHARDSON, Alas

EOP1 P1OI1GA1COoO4N, <1ldShd Eskimo National GuardSmen, 250 strong, picked representatives of two crack northern scout bat talions, enthusiastically entered
 he fourth day of their two week training emcampment at Fort Richardson Saturday.
 By ski, sled and snowshoe they tTekked out of the north rendez- vousing at bush country airStrips to be ferried by bush pilots and military aircraft to the encamp- ment at Fort Richardson.
 For many of the Guardsmen na- tives of the territory's thinly pop ulated northland the encdmpment provides their first glimpse of any community larger than Bethel.
 With their first encampment established at this sprawling Army post Sunday the scouts, un- der the provisional command of Captain Frank R. Clayton of Bethel, Alaska, plunged into a tightly scheduled training pro- gram of weapons instruction, drilling, and routine military sub- jects.
 Unit officers among them-1st Lieut.. Daniel A. Jones, command ing officer of the 1st Scout Bat talion of Nome; End Lieut.. Floyd Wheeler, also of Nome and con- manding officer of the 1st Bat talion's Company A; and End Lieut.. Harvey Samuelson of Dill ingham, commanding officer of the End Scout Battalion, Company B-launched a carefully planned program of training Tuesday.
 Most popular activity on the training schedule is rifle firing, and the Eskimo Guardsmen are bliStering the ranges with new record scores, according to regu- lar Army observers on the scene. Alaska's citizen soldiers are tack ling the oldest military art with gram zeal, delivering devastating volleys of fire despite bitter cold and bowling winds on Fort Rich ardson's snow-covered ranges.
 Though 250 strong at their Fort R c h a r d O. n encampment, the Guardsmen are only part of two larger battalions with headquar- ters at Nome and Bethel. Picked volunteers were selected for the intensified tWo-week training per iod and they will pass on the knowledge gained here in later training sessions in their own will lageS.
