Postal Employees
Custer on Loyalty
Grounds Is Upheld

The U. S. Court Of Appeals
yesterday upheld the Postoflce
Departments dismissal Of VIII
liam c. Jason. jr, Of Philadel-
phia on loyalty grounds.
The departments loyalty board
ruled May S, 1852, that there Is
reasonable doubt" as to Mr..
Jason's loyalty. He appealed to
the Postmaster General. who af-
flrmed the decision in April. 1858.
This came after the loyalty re-
view board of the Civil Service
Commission, since abolished, had
ruled in Mr.. JaSon'S favor.
Case Was Re-Opened.
The case was re-opened after
an executive order of April, 1851,
revised the reasonable grounds
standard so as to resolve doubt
against a Government employee.
There is no vested right in
Federal employment" the ma
jority opinion. written by Judge
John Danaher said, land except
as restricted by law, the execu-
tive must enjoy wide discretion
in determining hiring and firing
policies. We can rightfully
no more prevent the executive
from reconsidering the standards
to be applied in determining the
loyalty of Federal employees than
prescribe the tests in the first
place"
Judge Wilbur K. Miller agreed
with Judge Danaher, but Judge
Henry w. Edgerton dissented.
Dissenting Opinion.
In his dissenting opinion,
Judge Edgerton wrote:
"Since no Executive Order, but
only a memorandum of the
Loyalty Review Board, under
took to authorize repeated in
vestigations of identical loyalty
charges against Government
employe. under old standards Or
new ones, the question whether
a Executive Order could do so is
not before U.s."
He continued:
g.. Nothing less than express
language in a statute or Execu-
tive Order should be regarded as
authorizing such repeated in
vestigations. since they gravely
tnjure the employe concerned,
shock the sense Of justice and
the sense of security of other
persons in and out Of Govern
ment and damage the Govern
ment by lowering morale and by
reducing the appeal of public
service"
Mr.. Jason worked as q CLASH
fed civil service regular clerk in
the Philadelphia Postoffice from
1892 until 1915, when he became
an officer of a union of postal
employees. The court did not
identify the union. Since 1948,
the court said, Mr.. Jason has
devoted full time to his union
duties, on leave from the Post
Office Department without pay.

At least for the time being,
they viii not attempt to press in

would indicate either that Re-

ing to go on a long time.
Meanwhile, Senator Mundt,
Republican, of South Dakota,
who served as chairman of the
special subcommittee for the
Army-McC arthy inquiry, called
a meeting for 1:30 pm. to dis
cuss problems of writing a report
Of the hearing for the Senate.
Senator Mundt said that he
was considering bringing in a
special writer to draft the hear

for committee consideration. The
alternative would be, he said,
for the committee to "sit around
the table and try to hammer

thought would take a long time.

Mccarthy Exploits
Reporters, Clio Aide
TELLS News Guild
BY the Assoei1ied Press

LOS ANGELES. Aug. IA
CLIO official last night character
lied Senator Mccarthy as "the
whirling dervish of Wisconsin
who, he said, has exploited the
newspapermar's obligation to re-
port the remarks and antics Of
public officials.
oc Irwin De Shelter of Los An
geles, regional CIO director for
Ave Western States, reviewed the
senator's political career in
addressing the banquet session
of the CIO American Newspaper
Guilds 21st annual convention.
At the outset of his talk Mr..
De Shelter said, II am sure that
If Haywood Broun were here to-
day he would have many bril-
liant and fighting things to say
about Mccarthy"
Mr.. Bro,ln, who died in 1899,
was the guilds first president.
Effect of Headlines.
Commenting on the Senator
In relation to the press, Mr.. De
Shelter said:
1T is unfortunately true that
the big black headlines that tend
to create the myth of Mccarthy
in the public mind have been
considerably more widespread
and more frequent than the
thoughtful editorial or article.
Mccarthy, who knows very
well that good newspaperman
must report the remarks ana
antics Of a public official. no mat
ter how violent or irresponsible
they may be, has coldly ex-
plotted this fact to produce
headlines"
It is also true, Mr.. De Shelter
said, that too much of the press
has been over-eager to let him
get away with 1t, or has vigor-
ously co-operated with him in
doing So"
Senator Mccarthy, said Mr..
De Shelter. ''has powerful press
and radio support from such as
the Hearst and Mccormick
chains and the Westbrook Peg
lers. Fulton Lewis, jrs., Walter
Winchells, George Sokolskys and
Others"
Lot of EvaIuating.
On the other hand, the CLIO
official said, "the press has done
considerable amount of crit
ica1, responsible evaluating of
Mccarthy. While this has not
been as widespread as we would
like, it is an encouraging thing
to note that there seems to be
an increasing tendency among
our papers to size up Mccarthy
for what he is"

Senator Carthy doesn't want
any more eavesdropping on
closed meetings Of his commit
tees.
II there is, the Wisconsin Re-
publican says, the eavesdroppers
are going to be hauled before
him for contempt.
Senator Mccarthy issued his
warning yesterday after a closed
meeting Of his Government OPP
erations Committee, which again
failed to act on his proposed app
pointment of former Republican
Senator Owen Brewster Of Maine
as chief counsel.
During the meeting in room
F-82, on the ground floor of the
Capitol, the Senator said he
found "a young reporter" stand
ing in an adjoining room, which
is separated from the F-82 only
by a thin partition. The side
room. containing files, is sup
posed to be kept closed.

ator Mccarthy said, she will be
held in contempt. If he hands out
anything that went on. he'll be
held in contempt"
Refuses to Reveal Name.
Senator Mccarthy said he
would not disclose the reporters
name to keep from embarrassing
him. It was learned later, how
ever, that the reporter was a tele-
vision representative who pro-
tested he merely was putting
some equipment into the room to
avoid cluttering up the Capitol
corridor.

reference to an occurrence a short
time ago during meeting in the

Library Check Outs Still Run High

A check with the Librarian this week showed the local library con tinues to be popular source of recreation among Seward folks. After a record summer the level of activity has continued hi g h through September and October.
 Perhaps one of the reasons the library has been busy is the record number of new books which have been placed on the shelves in the past two months. According to the records, 132 new volumes have joined the already wide selection available in our library. A total of 516 books were checked out dur ing September. and this total was topped by 31 check-outs during October when SAY books were taken out.
 Your reporter was a little curi- ous about how the Library was run and what source of revenue the library had to depend on to keep adding new books. We were some what surprised to find out that the facility is largely self supporting from book rentals, gift books grants, and lot of hard work by members of the Women's Club.
 The Librarian told us that they , were always happy to have books given to the Library and in the event that book received is a duplicate of what is already on hand, the Seward Library passes the duplicate along to the San. or sends it to one of the libraries at Moose Pass, Coopers Landing, or l possibly Homer.

 Last week there were a total of S7 patients who received treat ment from Mrs. Florence Aylen, Physical Therapist. That means thatMrs. Aylen sees on the aver age of IF persons every day for at least 25 minutes.
 After the muscles are relaxed with the warnf water, Mrs. Alyen supervises the exercising of the muscles. This is either passive exercising, which means that the therapist moves the part to be ex- ercised; active, which means that the patients himself moves the part to be exercised; or resistive, which means the exercise is done by the patient against the pre- scribed resistance of the therapist. There is also. muscle testing and other therapy done at the treatment center. a @
 Because of these facilities offer- ed by the Seward Rehabilitation Center to the people of Seward vicinity who have been victims of the polio epidemic, Mrs. Aylen can now care for three patients in the time it formerly took to treat one.
 This same installation will be used for other maladys needing physical therapy in the future.
 A check in the amount of $4.447.72 was received this week This amount is a gift in addition to the regular $1666.66 which is received monthly from the Womens Division of the Methodist Church for the operation of the Sanatorium. The check represent contributions | from many, many local WSCS groups all over the United States who are earnestly interested in supporting the treatment and re mobilization program of the Seward Sanatorium. In addition, the San receives supplies valued at approx imately $300.00 from friends ir the States every month, and often there are additional cash gifts for such things as hair cuts, toilet articles, o.

San. Cook Leaves For World Tour

Keep your nose to the grind stone and your fingers in the pie is a hackneyed moto which has it's reward according to Lillian Aldridge, a pastry cook at the Sanatorium
 Mrs. Aldridge has worked her regular shift in the San kitchen eight hours a day, five days week for almost one hundred weeks. She has baked 400 pies, more than 1000 cakes and enough rolls to fill box car. and now she will take Cooks holiday with Cooks tour of the world. She will sample the delicacies aboard the MS Wonosari and at such exotic places as Iloilo, Singapore. Lourenco Marques. Cebu and Port Elizabeth on the East African Coast, as her reward for two years of keeping her nose to the grind stone and her fingers in the pie.
 Mrs. Aldridge left Seward via Matanuska Bus Lines on November 2 for Anchorage on the first leg of her journey which will circle the globe. She is due to sail on the MS Wonasari of the Java Pacific Line from a Seattle pier on the 7th of November. The en- tire trip will take her approxi- mately 41a months, with a good deal of time spent in foriegn ports while the Freighter discharges it's cargo or loads cargo as the case may be. and time for side trips in the Orient and Africa.
 Our travelling cook will cross the equator twice with the major part of her time being spent in the southern hemisphere which will be enjoying it's summer season while the northern hemisphere and AL aska in particular-will be enjoy ing winter time climate. Mrs. Aldridge told us of some advice which her travel agency had given her: "Take along summer clothing with good raincoat and one warm wrap. Also because there will be no doctor aboard, bring extra pair of glasses if needed, and an extra set of false teeth if needed if wooden leg happens to be your risk for needing a doc tor, you just better not come"
 It has taken several months to make all the arrangements for the trip. Getting a passport is something which takes some time what with photographs to be autographed just so, character ref erences to be investigated, birth certificate to have in order. Then there are visas to be obtained from the consulate of every country to be visited and immunization shots, reservations for accomoda- tions at all points of entry where side trips are on the itinerary.
 Mrs. Aldridge has enjoyed an- ticipating for months. She has practically memorized the world atlas, National Geographic maga- zines and whole files of travel fold CTS.
 Besides doing her job as pastry cook, she has figured how many tubes of tooth paste she will use in four and half months, how many rolls of film, how many pairs of hose - long term dream is to be realized.

AT THE SAN

Miss Helen Johnson PHN visited at the Seward Sanatorium recently. Miss Johnson is the TB nursing con. sultant for the Alaska Department of Health with offices in Juneau. Her job as liason between the hos pitals who take care of ADH bene- ficiaries and the Public Health Nurses in the field brought her to the San to become informed as the progress and procedures here which she will be able to interpret to the nurses. Miss Johnson has recently attended the TB Eval- uation Clinic in Anchorage where X-rays and patients were studied to determine priority list for ad- missions.
 Patients at the San were pleased with the donation of books which they received from the Seward Public Library. The Library board felt that when they have several Implications of the same book it would be good gesture to give the extra copies to the Patients Library at the San. "The Old Man and the Sea-" by Ernest fleming way was one of the books which already has created a waiting list to be read Volunteer women who take the library carts to the wards have asked for more pocket edit ions of novels. If you have used books of this kind which you would care to donate please leave them at kenai Investment Company to be picked up.
 A plastic treatment pool has re- gently been acquired by the Phys ical Therapy Division of the Sew ard Rehabilitation Center. This pool is like backyard wading pool for the children and is an important part of the physical therapy treatment of the polio victims.
