There is little doubt that
the AS&T move was the direct
outgrowth Of the earlier pro-
poSal by NBW. The Hamil.
ton and AS&T forces sat back
uneaSily to see what the Lewis
interests would do. They had
offered them q chance to get
of the hook with q 50 q share
profit on the stock already ac-
quired at $50 a share. On the
other hand two thirds Of the
stockholders Of both institu.
tions had to approve the mer-
ger before it could go through.
If the mine union interests
could acquire a little over one
third Of the Hamilton stock
the merger could be blocked.
The answer was not long in
coming. Last Monday john
ston. Lemon announced it
would pay $110 per share for
Hamilton stock for q limited
period. Shareholders fiocked
to sell.
At the same time NBW
leaked details of its earlier
offer to Hamilton. This was
the offer that was being con-
sidered by Hamilton when
neither institution would ad-
NIT it. The offer was two
shares for one or $50 share
to. Hamilton stockholders.
The leak, coming at this
time, may have been aimed at
embarrassing the Hamilton
board for never having SUBJ
mitted the NBW offer to their
stockholders.
The Prospect
What will the "undisclosed"
interests do now? They won't
say. But one thing is sure. They
will get enough stock at that
price to block the merger II
they want to. They probably
will get enough to take over
Hamilton. A. S. & T. stock
holders may never get to vote
on the merger plan.

the Republican extremists.
Neither of our great political
parties" he told the Senate,
has monopoly on patriotism
There is only one group
that can properly be charged
with being the party of trea-
SON. and that is the Communist
Party and the underground
conspirators who may, in the
interest of the Communist
conspiracy, seek to infiltrate
whichever party has the re-
sponsibility for determining
national policies"
Senator Knowland went on
to plead for more Democratic
support Of present foreign pol
icy. He said the administra-
ton had done a great deal to
foster joint consultation be-
tween party leaders. He listed
specifically. 81 bipartisan for
eign policy conferences which
he said had taken place since
the G. o. P. took over.
The air was considerably
clearer this week end, despite
a few gun bursts from the
Democrats.
Mr.. Truman's second de-
mand on the Republicans ap-
parently was overlooked. At
least, there was no massive
clarification of the national
foreign policy.
AS for the third point. Re
publicans said they did. too,
hire Democrats who were
qualified for top jobs. Their
exhibit "a" was David K. E.
Bruce, United States spokes-
man at European suprana-
tional organizations, with a
personal rank of ambassador.
He was a Truman holdover.

hibit "B," &C" or ID" worth

handling Of the 1ndo- China
crisis.
Last week former President
Truman, an old artilleryman
himself. joined the attack. He
told Republican leaders:
. Repudiate the charges Of
treason" hurled at Democrats
by some Republicans. Senator
Joseph r. Mccarthy of Wis
consin, Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York and Chair
man Leonard Hall of the
G. o. P. National Committee
had made these charges. Mr..
Truman said the Democrats
could not be expected to CO.
operate in foreign policy de-
cisions with a party. which had
sanctioned such attacks.
o Explain your foreign pol
icy. Before we can cooperate,
Mr.. Truman said, we must
know what the policy Is. He
said the Republicans had
made conflicting and vague
statements on foreign affairs.
. Hire a few qualified Demo-
Gratis for cabinet posts, just as
the Democrats had chosen sew
eral Republicans.
To these general demands.
other Democrats added some
specific criticisms. Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee
said that Republican cam
.paigning against the Truman
war" in Korea had made it
almost impossible to carry
through the current G. o. P.
policy of American support
for Indo-C China And Senator
George Smathers of Florida ad-
vised the Republicans to with
draw support from European
allies and concentrate on
building up Latin American
allies.
Agreement, Not Attock
Ordinarily such attacks
would have been the signal for
an all-out Republican counter
barrage. But last week there
was q different outcome.
In answer to the Truman
plea to repudiate the treason"
charges, President Eisenhower
firmly .repudiated them-as
firmly, that is, as could be done
by . person pledged to avoid
personalities.
The President said he ridi-

End of an Era

One Of the foremost tourist
attractions at the Capitol was
frock coated, white named
Senator Clyde r. Hoey Of North
Carolina, the only man on the
Hill who looked like a Senator.
He always wore a gates-ajar
collar. high shoes, diamond
stickpin and an English walk
ing coat" His manner
matched his dress. "Courtly"
was the only word for Senator
Hoey.
But Clyde Hoey not only
resembled a legislator; he was
one. AS predecessor to Joe
Mccarthy. he steered a care
full and effective course for his

members were sworn in to tell
what they knew about the
Cohn-Schine matter. The
three. Senators Dirksen, Mundt
and Potter, said they learned
of the case in the last half
of January, and took the mat
ter up with Senator Mccarthy.
Apparently the Schine affair
was brought by Mr.. Adams to
the attention of Senators Dirk
sen and Mundt, and to Senator
Potter'S attention by an as
Sociate Army counsel. In each
case, the witnesses said, the
Schine affair was coupled with
an effort by Mr.. Adams to have
Subpoenas against Army 10y
atty board members held in
allegiance.
Later, Senator Mundt at
tempted to pin Mr.. Adams
down as to improper" con-
duct by Frank Carr, the third
principal on the Mccarthy
side. The Army witness said
he came to feel Mr.. Carr's
role was improper only after
the Mccarthy side issued a
memorandum on March IL in
response to the Army's orig
inal March II charges. The
question of whether Mr.. Carr
was guilty" of anything re-
manned unresolved this week
end.
Also unresolved was the most
fundamental question of all:
Who was lying? Senator jack
son, Washington Democrat,
went down the line with Mr..
Adams for yes" or mo" an
SwerS on the truth Of charges,
for the avowed purpose Of get
ting a perjury case against
some one.
Senator Mccarthy himself
was mild in his questioning of
Mr.. Adams, perhaps because so
many others were doing his
work for him. But there was
no reason to suppose that the
Wisconsin Republican had lost
his steam, or that Mr.. Adams
agony was over.

caused a ripple of laughter at
the time, and left in many
minds the question, What was
Mr.. Lodge doing there?
That was exactly what
Senator Symington wanted to
know. And Mr.. Adams was
unable to tell him. He had

negotiation to get the oil re-
sources he nationalized back
on a paying basis.
Three years have passed
since MosSadegh as prime min
lister realized his ambition of
years and nationalized the
properties of the Anglo
Iranian Oil Co. A board Of
flve senator's, five members Of
the Mails and the minister of
finance was appointed to man
age them. Since then the re-
flnery that produced 81. 1.750.147
long tons in 1850 has ceased to
operate. Iranian oil has lost
its place on the world market.
And the Iranian treasury has
lost some $75 million a year.
Now Iran is starting where
it might have begun under the

 The children were enroute to their homes from school on the North Sea island of Sylt.

Holy Cross Brother Becomes US. Citizen After 4O-Year Wait

FAIRBANKS - After 40 years of trials and tribulations, Brother John Hess of Holy Cross became US. citizen last week.
 Brother Hess of the Jesuit Or der first came to the United States in October of 1906 and shortly entered the Society of Jesus. He came to America from Schweben, Hessen, Germany and soon made application to become a US. citizen.
 Brother Hess, who is now II years old, came to Alaska in 1914 and went to Holy Cross in 1926, where he has been stationed ever since.
 Brother Hess applied for citi- zenship and would have normal ly received it in the early days of Alaska when the counts used to travel on the river boats but, invariably, he was always away at some other post when this occurred

Christmas Program
 Unusually Interesting Despite Santa's Absence

Nome's traditional community Christmas tree entertainment was held Friday evening with an un- usually interesting program by the grade school children under the direction of Robert Heath.
 The Christmas story was told in many languages and cleverly planned to have all the grades participate. The play was written by Robert Heath especially for the occasion.
 The school band, which has been steadily growing in popular ity since it started year ago, under the direction of Robert Heath, played an important part in the program and surprised many in the audience with its progress and development in this short time.
 For the first time Santa Claus was not there to distribute Christ mas stockings to the children. Dis appointment was felt by many who would have enjoyed this traditional climax to the program.
 Santa appeared Saturday after noon to the small children up to the fourth grade, for which more than 500 Christmas stockings had been prepared and were diStrib- uted. About 20 good cheer bas- ke's are being prepared for dis tribution to needy families.

Neutralism in Cold War Opposed By Administration

WASHINGTON, R-The Eisen- hover Administration apparently is close to adopting a policy of respectful opposition to neutral ism in the cold war
 President Eisenhower himself laid down the line in section of the message he delivered Friday night as he lighted Washington's Community Christmas Tree. Ra- dio and television carried his re- marks to the nation, and the Voice of America repeated them in over seas broadcasts.
 His statement was a challeng ing bid to individuals or nations all over the world who believe that it is possible and desirable to support neither side in the strug- gle between the free world and Communism.
 "The times are so critical and the differences between these world systems so vital," the Pres ident said, "that grave doubt is cast on the validity of neutralistic argument"
 That sentence was inserted and several others were edited to make it fit after the speech text had been released in advance of its delivery.
 NeWsmen received the change in the text just before the Presi- dent spoke. It was distributed without comment. Eisenhower named no countries himself, and the White House declined to elab- crate.
 While thus questioning the basic beliefs of those who, like India's Prime Minister Nehru, hold themselves aloof from the Communist conflict, the President laid down two other points of his policy quite firmly: l. The United States will con- tinue to demonstrate respect for the right of self-decision by these neutrals."
 2. The United States will try to build understanding and sym pathy with them on the common basis that neutralists and Ameri- cans alike "hate aggression and condemn wars for conquest"
