EDITORIAL

The following editorial ap-
 peared on the front page of
 the Petersburg Press last Fri
 day. We are grateful to our
 neighbor editor Claire Wilder
 of the Press for coming so loy-
 ally to the support of this
 community in it's time of
 trouble.
 (From the Petersburg Press)
 It is a Press policy of long stand ing not to mix into politics. We have no pipelines 10 highly placed officials nor access to inside infor- nation. We believe a mans poli- ties, like his religion, are his own business and although We may dis agree We staunchly defend his right to believe as he chooses.
 Because we believe so firmly in this right, it was with no little dis may that We read in Tuesdays Chronicle CKetchikan) an editorial about our neighboring town of Wrangell,- which suffered such a disastrous fire.
 As everyone in Southeast Alaska probably knows. Lew Williams, ed- itor of the Wrangell Sentinel. and Governor Ernest Gruening have had a falling out. A serious one, no doubt, but a political one never theless.
 The Chronicle editorial broadly implies that reconstruction with federal money may be denied to Wrangell unless Lew Williams Ire pents your ways and behaves like a human being" If help from the Presidents emergency fund or REC is to be forthcoming, the inference is that Lew must forget his differ ences with Ernest" or his town will be whistling down a rain barrel. And there's a dig about "half the Sentinels advertisers" being burn ed out, as the chief motive for Lew's concern.
 Darn it. that made Us mad We were in Wrangell We saw the ter rifle loss. There were Republicans. Gruening Democrats, anti-Gruening Democrats, probably a communist or two and people who wouldn't know Governor Gruening if they met him in a soup dish. All sharing the tragic loss. We talked to Lew, Winnie and young Lew and to their eternal credit We never once heard them mention the fact that their business would be hard hit They were full of sorrow for those who suffered complete loss; ready tOI praise the work of firemen and others whose efforts saved the rest of the town from flames; concern ed over how and when reconstruc- tion will start. But it was their friends they were worrying about Not their advertisers
 Now as to the threat that unless Lew changes his tune there will be no federal aid. That we just can't believe. We don't always agree with Governor Gruening. We admit he is politician and an astute one But we don't believe he is so petty, so short-sighted that he would penalize a whole town because he's mad at the editor of that towns only newspaper.
 In confederation of the fact that the Chronicle is a staunch Gruen- ing supporter, we hope the gov ernor will see fit to discIaim any such intention as the editorial inn plies.

Left Villagers gre Moving

As the primary election on April 29 hears. the mail brings evidence that the left wingers are getting ac- tive. Last day or two came a sample ballot marked for all the Gruening candidates of both major parties from Bob Bartlett on down the line. A notation on the one we got said it was a Garnick ticket being sent from the Commis- sioner of Labor's office after the help goes home and that it's being called the Alaska ticket" We wouldn't know about that, but ob- Tiously, it isn't party ticket as the little typewriter crosses cover Not my kind of a Democrat" Bartlett and We can eat beans" for statehood Republican Mildred Hermann and. of course, Anita Garnick for the Re publican nomination for Auditor And. We almost overlooked it, Peter Wood, running on the Democratic ticket for a House seat. Pete is sup posed to be raising the money for the Gruening machine this year. The
 
 one ballot. even if it's a sample.
 Auditor Moore in Town
 Not on the lefty ticket for sure, Territorial Auditor Neil Moore was through town Monday on the Bar anof from Ketchikan for Juneau in the interesth of his campaign for Auditor on the Democratic ticket. He had attended a meeting of the Industrial Board in Ketchikan of which ht is a member.
 He's the man who spent II years in the Auditors office under the late Frank A Boyle before being ap- pointed to the position and probably knows more about it than any per- son in Alaska He's also the man who has asked Delegate Bartlett for an audit of the statehood funds with which he was entrusted and Bartlett has refused it.
 Moore reports he's holding up one of Bartlett's vouchers for $5,000 un- til he finds out what the money was spent for, which is the duty of the Auditor, and the Delegate is indig nant no end. Why public official handling public funds will resist an audit is a little too deep for us. Aud itor Moore indicated that he was equally mystified, but that he was going to keep on doing his duty and attempt to solve the mystery in the interests of the Alaska taxpayers he represents.
