Gruening To Testify At Hearing on Indian Contracts with Attorneys

WASHINGTON, (R) - Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska has been asked to testify Wednesday before a Senate Interior subcom- mittee which is checking into con- tracts between Indians and their attorneys.
 James Curry, Washington at torney who said he has about a dozen contracts with Alaskan Indians, told the committee last week he believes the Indians should have greater leeway in selection of their counsel.
 Secretary of the Interior Chap man recently rejected a new set of regulations governing these contracts which had been sug- gested by Commissioner Dillon Myer. Thus, the old regulations in effect since 1888 still govern.

 California Democrats, at a thar mony" meeting over the weekend, agreed that Truman is, their man for 1852.
 Party confidence in eventual victory in the still-distant election was expressed by leaders of the two parties:
 Guy Gabrielson, chairman of the Republican National Commit tee, said on a television program he believed any COP candidate could lick any Democrat.
 Frank E. Mckinney, Democratic National Chairman, said in De- troit: Our record and the sorry record of the Republican party are the surest guarantees of a Democratic victory"

Alaska Statehood Advocates,
 Conceding Certain Defeat, Propose
 Hawaii Bill Be Considered First

proval of both statehood groups.
 President Truman, who repeat edly has urged statehood for both territories, also is said to have approved the strategy.
 The move was dictated by op- position plans to seek to send the Alaska bill back to a committee pigeonhole.
 The Hawaiian bill, however, is believed to be in a stronger posi- ton. Delegate Harrington R-Haw) told a reporter it "can stand against any attack"
 If this confidence in the Ha- waiian sentiment is borne out, proponents of Alaska statehood feel their chances would be en- hanced.

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Sen ate had date with statehood today - but it was uncertain whether Alaska or Hawaii would keep the rendezvous.
 A bill to admit Alaska to the union technically is before the lawmakers. It was made the un- finished business when the Senate took it's weekend recess and was scheduled for debate today.
 But statehood advocates, con- ceding almost certain defeat for the Alaska measure, disclosed over the weekend they propose to substitute the Hawaiian bill which has less opposition.

But the war between the states
passed, and although a few of the
families moved away to new homes,
most of the settlement remained and
built up their farms again,
The first split in the Amish settle
ment came in 1870 over matters Of
belief. A minister from Ohio named
John Holdman, came and preached
more liberal views than the disciplined
Amish believed in. Holdman was
forced to leave, but he took with him
nearly half of the congregation. The
settlement was back to it's original
size of about eight families. The con-
gregation, or what was left of it,
remained Old Order, as those who
would not discard their old customs
are called Occasionally, a minister
from the River Congregation came
to their meetings Gradually the set
Element became strong again.
This was the only serious division
in the group. However, as the stories
of the great open plains that required
no fertilizing, clearing or worrying
over rotating crops drifted back East,
more and more young people moved
West to the Amish communities in
Kansas and the Great Plains. 1t is for
this reason that there have been times
when the Garrett County settlement
dropped to almost its original size,
but at other times it reached nearly
thirty families.
Whatever their condition, through
wars, depressions, or prosperity, the

For The Amish
In Garrett County

known of their coming. One of the
fascinating things about the Amish is
that they are a people of strong cross
currents and contradictions. 1t seems
contradictory that people with such
devotion to the past and such intense
loyalty to traditions should not have
kept meticulous records of their his
tory, such as the Quakers have kept.
The only account of the Garrett
County settlement are stories handed
down from generation to generation
within the family.
When Daniel and Elizabeth Beachy
came to this county in the summer of
1858, there were three other families
in the settlements: Moses Miller, John
Slabach, and family of Soldiers. Not
very long afterwards the Yutzys,
Gortners, Gnegys and the Kemps ar
rived. With only seven families in
the settlement, and no minister, Dan
Beachy, John Slabach, and Sam Gnegy
took turns when the congregation
met. Occasionally a minister from the
River Congregation in Somerset
County, Pa, came on horseback to
preach to the small group. About five
years later Beachy was ordained min
lister. They had no need for a church.
for the Amish believed that a church
tends to make the worship of God
too worldly. Instead the people went
from house to house every other Sun
day.
More families came and settled. Dan
and Peter Schrock, of Johnstown,
Daniel and Barbara Yoder, the Phael
family, who came directly from Ger
many, and the Petersheim family, of
Johnstown. At this same time Jacob
Schwartzentraub, now Swartzentruber,
and his family settled on the North
western turnpike, which was one of
the main thoroughfares for the coun-
try. His father gave him bucket of
red paint when he started for the new
settlement. This was intended for a
barn, but the Swartzentrubers had no
barn, so Jacob put it on his house in
stead. This is the reason the junction
of routes PIG and so is called Red
House, and to this day the custom of
painting the house red at the junction
has been continued.
BY this time the community was
fairly strong. Their farms as we'll as
their families were large and pros
porous. However, in 1864 the peace
loving Amish were swept into the
backwash of the civil war with dis
astrous results to some families. A
Southern detachment, virtually starved
to death, ate everything on the entire
farm of the Swartzentrubers at Red
House and then departed, taking with
them all the horses and cattle. North
ern and Southern troops both, adj
vancing and retreating along the
Northwestern turnpike, supplied them

Ideal Double Murder

The running dogfight which Sena-
tor William Benton, of Connecticut,
and Senator Joseph Mccarthy, of
Wisconsin, have been conducting for
a great many weeks, in the Senate
and out, has reached d disappointing
stage to some of their colleagues.
Due to Senator McCarthy's illness
there is a temporary hull in the bonn
bardment But it will not last long.
When the feud first started there
were quite few senators of both
parties who thought, perhaps, they
might kill each other off. This, they
would h ave regarded as an ideal
double murder.
However desirable this outcome
may have appeared, they have pretty
well lost hope now. At the moment
there seems no prospect at all that
the Benton resolution asking the Sen
ate to throw Mccarthy out will be
acted upon until next year-if then.
Also, there seems slight chance the
$4,000 900 libel suit which Senator
Mccarthy had filed against Senator
Benton will come to trial until after
the election-if then. This is the suit
in which Senator Mccarthy, acting as
his own lawyer, says he hopes to
prove Senator Benton a perjurer. In
brief, there appears no prospect for
either a court decision or a senatorial
vote to end this extremely virulent
senatorial feud for a long, long time.
What does impcnd is a protracted
period during which these two explo-
sive gentlemen will make speeches
and issue statements denouncing each
other-but not getting anywhere.
They will beat their respective
breasts, tear their thinning hair, pro-
claim the purity of their hearts and
the undiluted nature of their patriot
ism. At the same time, they will keep
the air filled with the most insulting
and opprobrious epithets of which
they can think. This has become such
a routine performance that even at
his most tempcstuous best neither
of these feudists any longer can COM
mand more than handful of sena-
tors as listeners.
Frankly, they have takeY rank as
the two leading senatorial bores
When one considers carefully the
quality and character of the present
Senate this is no mean distinction
Until this Benton-McCarthy effort to
throw each other out of the Senate
reached its present peak most I'M
biased observers in press gallery and
on the Senate floor would have agreed
that in any contest for first place
among senatorial bores Sena or
Wayne Morse (R., OreD and Senator
Hubert Humphrey d., MIMI, should
be given top priority. Now, there is
a general feeling that the Benton
Mccarthy combination, in sheer abil-
ity to bore, has edged the McssrS.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1952-08-07

Morse and Humphrey out of first
place.
The charge is made that the
Messrs. Benton and Mccarthy are the
most Unsuitable and incurable pub
LEFTY seekers the Senate ever saw.
Here again this is an accolade not
easily won in body where literally
every senator has more or less avid
appetite for favorable publicity. The
outstanding thing about the Messrs.
Benton and Mccarthy is that they not
only have this appetite, more largely
developed than most of their col
leagues but they are both so construc-
ted that they would rather have I'M
favorable publicity than none at all.
This makes them almost unique.
So far as Mr. Benton is concerned
this apparent itch for publicity is not
surprising because publicity is his
business A partner of the not too
modest Mr.. Chester Bowles, now our
Minister to India, Mr.. Benton was one
of the most successful advertising
men in the country. Certainly his 1850
campaign for the Senate was some
what on the blatant side. He used a
helicOpter to go from meeting to
meeting and employed other ingeni-
Gus devices of his fascinating trade,
the net result of which was his cleo
ton by rather insecure margin of
he lacks the training of Senator
Benton in the publicity field, but he
makes up for this by inherent in
dustry and talent. Blowing his own
horn is as natural to him as breathing
and he seldom allows his publicity eff
forts to be handicapped by the facts.
This, it will be admitted, is an adj
vantage
When two such stalwart statesmen
meet in public battle the outcome
most desired by impartial observers
is that they may eliminate each other.
That is why so many in Washington
would have cheered had Senator Nc
earthly been ousted from his Senate
seat at the last session and if, i'm
mediately after that, Senator Benton
had lost the suit Mccarthy filed
against him. Disappointed in this,
their hopes are now centered upon
the voters of Connecticut and Wiscon-
sin. Both senators come up for re-
election this year. Senator McCar-
thy's recovery in time to campaign in
October is assured. If, with the en-
thusiastic cooperation of his constit-
uents, both could be retired, many
would rejoice.

Naturally her death put Max

Why not live in the lap of luxury
