Butler Says Alaska Could l-:' Prosper
 With Demo Party

FAIRBANKS, 4s-The hope of Alaska for achieving statehood, and it's future prosperity through development of it's own resources are geared to the fortunes of the Democratic Party, Party Chair man. Paul Butler said Monday.
 More than 200 local Democrats greeted Butter when he stepped from a plane here after trip from Chicago. Butler is scheduled to visit most of Alaska's major cities on tour of the territory.
 Butler told a news conference on his arrival Alaska has fared best when Democrats controlled the White House. He said the present administration isn't likely to develop Alaska's vast water power resources and other un- tapped natural wealth.
 The present administration, he said, has shown a desire toward restriction of public power devel- opment.
 Butler declined to comment on the possible Democratic nominee in the 1856 presidential race but he said no matter who was nom mated the Democrats had every chance to defeat President Eisen- hover if Ike runs again.
 "We have to change the minds of only about 3 million Ameri- cans," he said. Stevenson (Adlai, 1852 Democratic presidential can- didate) was defeated by about 6 million votes We have good is sues and I don't believe the Dem ocrats have done anything in the last two years that would turn away voters"

Navy Silent on Thriller Tale
OF Actor in 1915 Peace Bid

Mr.. Fairbanks. according to
the book. was closely acquainted
with the Japanese royal family.
He was a lieutenant commander
in the Navy during World War
II. The Associated Press quoted
him as commenting on the plan
yesterday. he said.
"a number of contacts were
made and / feel there was q
very good chance they would
have come through. We had indi-
cations a number of influential
Japanese would have been happy
to call of the war"
The book said that a Japanese
American emissary was to be
landed from q submarine on
Japanese, soil to inform contacts
in Tokyo the time had come to
act.
When high Navy officers
blocked the plan, Mr.. Fairbanks
took his idea to the White House.
President Roosevelt was so i'm
pressed. according to the book,
he made an appointment to see
the young officer on April Is,
1945. He died on April IL.

The legislative tax proposals
differ from Gov. McKeldin's be-
sides avoiding tax increases in
that they win produce only a
small reserve beyond expected
needs. He had anticipated
raising 81 million more to be
used as a start on the next

The Governors increased taxes
also would have assured more

Oman Hits Preventive War
Methodist Bishop @. Bromley
Oman of Washington told the
school administrators in a speech
yesterday that men who think
preventive war Is an answer to
contemporary problems need
their heads examined, and the
Nation can well afford the psy-
chiatric treatment necessary to
bring them back to sanity"
He said American foreign
policy must be determined by
civilians, and the planting of
false news stories by military
leaders apparently designed to
inf1ame the Nation and throw
us into war must end"
1.-THE real military leaders of
the Nation do not want war;" he
continued, "and they themselves
know the American practice in
which foreign policy is deter
mined by civilians is wise"
President Eisenhower, the
bishop added, deserves the full
est support Of the American
people in an hour when he re-
fuses to be pressured into battle
by men whose, training lacks
sufficient understanding of the
power that lies in negotiation
and the strength that is present
In spiritual force"

Corsi Backers Tried
To Bypass Senate,
Walter Charges

Chairman Walter Of the House
Un-American Activities Com
mittee charged today that the
State Department set up Ed
ward Corsi's job as an immigra-
ton consultant In such a way
as to "circumyent the necessity
of submitting to the Senate an
obviously obnoxious name"
II am quite certain" said the
Pennsylvania Democrat, that
-. Mr.. Corsi would never have
been confirmed by the Senate
should his appointment have
called for the Senate's advice
and consent"
Quotes Cited
Mr.. Walter said this was so
because Mr.. Corsi. among other
things, once called legislators
who framed the present immi-
grafton laws Tin effect Nazis
and candidates for an insane
asylum"
This apparently was a refer
ence to testimony by Mr.. Corsi
in 1852 on the subject Of the
McCarran-W Act, which Mr..
Walter co-authored.
Mr.. Walter renewed his at
tack on Mr., CorSi. who helps
administer the controversial
Refugee Relief Act, in letter to
Representative Rodino, Demo-
crat. of New Jersey, which he
inserted In the Congressional
Record. He repeated earlier
charges that Mr.. Corsi also had
leftwing connections, charges
which Mr.. Corsi has denied.
Interview Scored
Mr.. Walter also repeated
charges, contained in an earlier
letter to The Star, that state
ments of his had been "falsified"
In an interview story by Re-
porter Mary McGrory. published
in The Star March 26.
Complaining that he had been
accused in The Star story OF
using vile language while
referring to Americans Of italian
origin" Mr.. Walter said he al
ways had been IAN admirer of
italy and a true friend OF the
Italian people" He cited six
instances in which he had spon-
sored legislation favorable to
Italians.
