WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Flan-
ders R-VD demanded today that
the Senate GUST Sen. Mccarthy as
chairman of the Senate Investi-
eating subcommittee and its par
ent group unless Mccarthy purge
himself of contempt" and answer
charges made against him in 1852.
Flanders said in a proposed
Senate speech that Mccarthy had
treated with contempt a three
man subcommittee set up in 1852
to investigate charges against Nc
Carthy by former Sen. Benton of
Connecticut and counter charges
by Mccarthy.
The Vermont senator, who crit
icized Mccarthy in two previous
Senate speeches, noted that the
1852 subcommittee formally re-
ported that Mccarthy rejected it's
invitation to testify.
In the absence of testimony by
Mccarthy, the subcommittee re-
ported it could not finally rule on
the charges raised against him. It's

Alaska Steam
May Discontinue
Passenger Service

SEATTLE, R-An end of ocean
passenger service to Alaska is
under consideration, the Alaska
Steamship Co.'S general manager
disclosed yesterday.
General Manager Melville Nc
Kinstry denied rumors that the
company has contracted for sale
of any Of its four passenger
freight ships. However, he said:
''Use of our passenger vessels
has been under study for some
little time"
Such consideration is in Every
tentative" stages, McKinstry en-
phasized, and Alaska Steam will
certainly dispose of none Of its
ships until after the present tour
ist season. A sale might be diff
cult, he emphasized, because as
combination vessels Alaska liners
are not Su1LeQ 10 nanQl1nS only
freight.
In recent years, the company
has sustained regular losses on its
passenger service, and last winter,
schedules were cut to one voyage
every two weeks-lowest level in
mora +bop hole n oor,+I1rxy
Alaska Steam is not considering
any curtailment Of freight runs,
McKinstry said. However, an end
of the passenger trade would hack
away a traditional Pacific North
west link with Alaska, as we'll as
injuring segments of both Seattle
and territorial economies.

Eisenhower Appeals For Political
Unity on His Legislative Program

WASHINGTON, R- President
Eisenhower pledged last night to
stay 'severlastingly" at the job of
uprooting suversion, and appealed
for political unity on his legis-
lative program-including his en-
battled flexible farm price sup
port plan.
In a nationwide television and
radio address, the President turn
ed to- the language Of the atomic
world and urged:
'Let us have less political fis-
sion and more political fusion"
He also called for speedy ap-
proval by Congress of program
he described as a potent pack
age of protection against Com
munism."
With him as he made the
speech in a downtown hotel was
an approval whooping audience
of close to 1000 members and
Friends Of the Citizens for Essen
hover Congressional Committee.
When he concluded, the Presi-
dents World War II mess SER
geant, Marty Snyder, jumped to
his feet and beloved:
'Who are we going to elect in
1852"
Eisenhower" the crowd roar
ed back. The President grinned.
The Presidents speech was his
first full scale plug for his legis-
lative program since he announ-
ced June 3 that from then on he
was going to use every possible
opportunity to call for speedup
of Congressional action on it.
With less than two months to the
July 81 target date congressional
leaders have set for adjournment,
most of the program still is far
from law.
He was interrupted 80 times by
applause. The most prolonged ap-
plause and cheers came as he
pledged to stay constantly on the
job of digging out subversives. A
few minutes earlier he had touch
ed off a round of laughter with
his only allusion to the Army-Mc-
Carthy controversy:
SIN spite of highly publicized
distractions, Congress has been
hard at work."

THE SEARCH FOR COPPER

A new land Is always a hope
full prospect for those who seek
minerals. The seeker-after-gold
came in with the early fur trad
ers. The search was. naturally,
for precious minerals for only
these could be mined and carried
out Of a new land so far from
civilization.
No gold, in quantities that could
be profitably mined, has been
found in Minnesota. There have
been two large gold PUSHES to the
area Of the boundary waters, one
in the is6O's and another thirty
years later.
Iron was discovered early in
the life OF the state but the great
ranges were not really known I'M
III after a generation of intensive
search.
Both the Indians and white men
looked for copper and found very
little OF il. The nearest copper was
reported at Isle Royale II was
known at the time that the boun-
dairy treaties were made with
Great Britain following the Rev
dictionary War.
The story. which was confirmed
by later actions was that Benja-
min Franklin, a treaty commits
sioner. had learned Of the copper
on Isle Royalc and desired that
this island be included in the
United States Thus the line that
came through the middle of the
great lakes to the east was bent
north on Superior to include the
island This provision complicated
the boundary question for many
years II was not until 1912 that
the International boundary in the
area later 10 become Minnesota
was finally settled.

BELTRAMI's STORY

Many nationahties were repre-
sented by early explorers in what
is now Minnesota. Most of them
were French. Many were English.
one of the most interesting was
an Italian. Giacomo Beltrami, who
left his romantic name upon one
Of the larger counties OF the state.
Beltrami was born in Italy but.
being suspected OF treason, took
leave for France in 1912. He
worked nus way To Fort Smelling
in 1928. Indian Agent Taliaferro
described him as imposing in ap-
pearance and quick of temper. He
wished to explore for the source
of the Mississippi. Towards that
end he was given letters TO various
people and Indian tribes.
This explorer was skillful and
graphic with the pen. He wrote
his own story. always full Of ad-
venture beyond belief. He started
his trip towards the big river from
Pembina. He began the journey
with two Chippewas and a half
breed who agreed to carry his bag
gage to the Thief river. He had
sold a horse he did not own and
bought a mule on the fourth day
out he killed a white bear. The
half breed left with the mule. His
Chippewa companions deserted
him.
From this point on Beltrami had
all sorts Of trouble. which he de-
scribed well. He saw the lakes
from which the Father OF Waters
rises. He called on the shades Of
Marco Polo. Columbus and Yes
pucius 10 celebrate with him and
congratulate themselves that an
other Italian had added lustre to
a new world
