RANDOM RAMBLINGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen

When my wife and 1 were mar ried, we agreed that she would make the small decisions-I would make the large ones. So far, noth- ing big has come up.
 "Nicodemus," Wasilla's pet moose, looked thru the Thorpe's kitchen window - no doubt to wish a happy 86th birthday an- niversary on March Thirtieth to Mrs. Clyde Thorpe.
 
 Diane Baer and Charlotte Mur- dock and two children were visit ors at Green Acres over the weekend.
 Pat Carter is looking for the ideal job-running an elevator in one story building.
 Put 'em aWay-you won't need your winter gear for some time Ted Mommsen, Kenny Hurd and Ira Custer were lifting the snow fences from the south end of Lake Wasilla.
 On this MEA., I feel we're fouling" ourselves. For one thing, an individual may have more than one meter-but he's only allowed one vote-weIl al- ways be short of a thirds vote. Next time, tho, let's get out the vote and change the two thirds requirement-we don't even get that kind of a turn out for a national election.
 Did you ever notice the pistol that George ClaWson, driver of our valley bus, has hanging from the dashboard? He carries it to put injured moose out of their misery.

subcommittee investigation of
Reds in the Army.
Favors Public Hearing.
Senator Mcclellan said he
would insist on public hearings
in the investigation to determine
who is lying in the controversy.
''I will certainly oppose any
closed hearings for taking testi-
mony," he declared.
The Arkansas Senator said
the controversy simply points
up" why the three Democratic
members of the subcommittee
walked out last year and win
dicates our position" Senator
Mcclellan and Senators Jackson
of Washington and Symington
of Missouri quit the subcom-
mittee last July 10 when they
were denied any voice in the
selection Of the subcommittee
staff.
They remained of the sub
committee until January Is and
returned only when the rules
were changed to take away from
Senator Mccarthy full authority
over hiring and firing staff per-
sonnet.
Senator Mcclellan pointed out
that all events in the current
controversy developed while the
Democrats were of the subcom-
mittee.
He said the full subcommittee
had never confirmed the Np-
pointment of Mr.. Cohn, Mr.. Carr
and other staff members.
81 shall certainly insist on such
confirmation" Senator McClel-
Ian said.
He said the issue had not been
raised before the Democrats left
the subcommittee because they
were waiting for FBI reports on
the staff.
It has been reported that the
three Democratic members as
well as some Of the Republican
members Of the subcommittee
would refuse to agree to Mr..
Cohn continuing as counsel.
AS the subcommittee consid-
cred procedures in a closed
meeting, worried Senate Repub-
lican leaders were awaiting q
report on the controversy at q
meeting Of the Senate Republic
-can Policy Committee later in
the day.
Won't FOrego Trip.
Senator Mccarthy went into
the meeting after brushing aside
suggestions Of Republican lead
ers that he forego a midwestern
speaking trip to take up the In.
vestigation without any delay.
The Wisconsin Senator an
nounced he win leave Washing
ton tomorrow noon for a Mid
western speaking tour that will
keep him away from the Capital
until next week. Apparently
counting on customary Senate
rial courtesy to forestall any in
veStigative moves while he Ia
away. Senator Mccarthy said:
II will be gone Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. There
will be no hearings Wednesday,

The Judge cited 8 Public Util-
tiles Commission estimate based
on the assumption that the
company would make no profit
this year. This estimate held
that II all the quarterly stock
dividends we're declared, totaling
some SIS million. the company
would wind up with a cash
deficit Of $900,956 at the end Of
the year.
Holding that only the first
quarterly dividend of 1894, 900
was at issue before. him, the
Judge pointed out that If it were
allowed the books would show a
cash excess Of about 100000.
He also pointed to a transit
company estimate, based on a
previous commission forecast
that the company would earn
about $1.4 million this year. In
this document. the company esti-
mated that it would wind up
with a $1.8 million cash excess
even allowing for total dividend
payments Of SIS million.
He called attention to another
transit company estimate, based.
in part on the former Public
Utilities Commission forecast
which predicted a cash surplus
up more than 81 million at the
beginning of next year.

No Showing Of Danger.
The judge reiterated that. the
only question to decide was
whether or not the Public Utili-
ties Commission has shown i'm

to public service "by the declara-
ton Of the (current) dividend"
The judge stated that after
considering evidence as to the
cash position Of the company:
i can only conclude that the
plaintiff tthe utilities commits

bond recall and dividend pay
ment might in some future time

sides would know what action

Editorial on Dispute
Is Printed in Proydo

NEW YORK, Mar. 16 R.-A
copy Of Pravda received from
Moscow carries a long editorial
on Senator Mccarthy and his
dispute with Army officials.
The editorial, under the title
'The Advance Detachment Of
the American Reactionaries,"
says:
THE generals and officers of
the American Army were silent
while the congressional commit
tees prosecuted civilians-trade
union leaders. teachers, artistic
people. juriSts. professors and
even church figures. But they
got seriously worried when these
committees took up the search
for 'subversive elements
among the officer corps"
Pravda pictures President Els
enhower as hacker of Senator
Mccarthy and contends that
American Government leaders
have assigned Senator Mccarthy
the role Of ''chief troubadour of
American fascism."

Senator MCCARTHY got only
brief mention last night during
an old-fashioned political de-
bate between Republican Ma
tional Chairman Leonard w. Hall
and Democratic National Chair
man Stephen A. Mitchell.
An audience Of 1000 students.
assembled in CASTOR Hall Of
Georgetown University had. ac-
cording to the grapevine, antici-
pated some fireworks over the
controversial Senator But they
had to be satisfied, in the main,
by encomiuEns to each party paid
BY each national chairman. Both
are graduates Of Georgetown,
and their appearance was on the
last Of the CASTOR lectures series
for 1854. 49,
Some BOOs Heard.
They took up everything from
the nationaleConomy to housing:
from the Korean war TO taxes:
from past deeds to future prom
ises. They ran the gamut from
Franklin D. Roosevelt to Eisen-
hover. While the student body
came through mostly with impair
tial cheers, there were q few booS
as certain topics came to the fore.
Mr.. Mitchell accused the Re-
publican Party Of having "failed
to bring Mccarthy under con-
troll"
I'm contrast to Democratic CO.
hesion and unity, the Republican
Party Is now badly split" he said.
mot only have the Republican
leaders failed to bring Mccarthy
under control. but they have
sponsored his speaking tours
across the country and many of
them have adopted the same tao
tics"
Mr.. Hall did not entirely ig-
more the Mccarthy issue. He
said:
lone Of the fundamental OBJ
jectives Of the Republican Party
is the fostering and preserva-
ton Of q society Of Americans.
not Of segmented groups or
classes. The President has said
categorically that the first con-
sideration in all matters shall
be what Is best for the American
people.
Divisions by race. occupation
and sex for the sole purpose Of
forgetting maneuvers are alien
to the philosophy underlined by
Ben Franklin when he talked
about hanging together or hang
ing separately"
Refers to Dewey.
Declaring that Republicans
have adopted the tactics of SEN
ator Mccarthy, Mr.. Mitchell re-
ferred to q recent speech by
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York that tried to link Com
munists and spying to the DEM
ocratic Party. as well as to state
ments Of Mr.. Hall himself. Mr..
Mitchell also referred to the
sponsoring by the Republican
Party Of a series of speeches by
Senator Mccarthy, billed as
Twenty Years of Treason"
He said young people should
not put their faith in the Re-
publican Party. even If its in
ternational and domestic policies
were sound-at least not until
the @. o. p. showed that it is
willing and able to return to
the American principles Of fair
play and accepted ruling Of the
American political game"
