Optimism for Alaska

Optimism about the economic
future of Alaska, even after
heavy military expenditures have
stopped. was expressed last night
by Interior Secretary Mckay.
Secretary Mckay was the prin-
lcipal speaker at the opening ses-
sion Of the convention of the
District Department of the
American Legion. meeting in the
Shoreham Hotel. He told the
delegates:
"Bastions of defense of the
whole of North America have
been constructed in Alaska.
These bases add enormously to
our national security.
Some Pessimism
There are some, of course
who look with pessimism on the
economic future of Alaska after
military construction has ceased
| to be as dominant as it Is now
I do not share that view. 1t is
obvious there will be some re-
cesSion with a decline in mill
tary construction expenditures
To a small extent this has al
ready happened. but I do not
believe that it will be serious.
Southeastern Alaska has not
shared In the boom occasioned
by military construction. 1t is
experiencing. however, a boom
of more normal and, therefore
perhaps more wholesale proper
tions in the development of its
own resources"
Department Commander By
ron E. Dunn will call the second
session of the convention to
order tonight. The principal
speaker will be DR.. Carl j. Rees

6. 0. P. Plea on
Foreign Policy

Secretary Of State Dulles press
conference statement earlier this
week that the Republican record
of not mixing politics and foreign
policy is a very sound and adj
mirable one. has drawn a sharp
retort from the Democrats.
The Democratic National Com
Imittee has issued a fact sheet
in which it places the Republican
leaders present pleas for no
political foreign policy talks
alongside their 1852 campaign
speeches.
At the top Of the list is a Sc
lection from President Eisen-
Ihower's campaign charges OF
Democratic "bungling and FUN
bling" in Korea:
I'VE have an administration
which has been incompetent in
keeping us out of trouble abroad
!. has allowed us to drift into
the Korean War with no plan
for its winning. :"
Dulles Statement Quoted
Secretary Dulles is represented
with this criticism:
THE trend Of our present for
ieign policies is to put our Ma
ton in the greatest peril it has
ever been in in the entire course
iof our national history"
Vice President Nixon's famous
aside on Secretary Of State
Acheson Is included:
And, incidentally, in mention

wonderful that we finally have q

BY MARY McGRORY

The Tammany tiger has let
the cat out Of the bag.
Carmine DeSapio. the leader
|of Tammany Hall. told the Ma
tional Press Club what every one
has long suspected. namely. that
when Gov. Averell Hartman of
New York says. I'm for Steven
son." what he really means is
that he's for Hartman.
Mr.. DeSapio. the tall. wavy-
haired New York Secretary of
State. who serves Gov. Hartman
also as political coach, smilingly
Ievaded a number of queries as
to the Governors intentions and
prospects.
Early for Such Talk
But when a member of the Ma
tional Press Club, which he adj
dressed at a luncheon meeting.
inquired as to how a 'favorite-
son candidate" made the tram
sition to active candidate" Mr..
De Sapio, who had been steadily
protesting how early" it was for
such talk, finally let everyone
know the time of day.
|. Reaching back into recent New
York history. and citing as an
example the two presidential
candidates. of Gov. Harriman's
predecessor, Thomas E. Dewey,
MFR. DeSapio spoke of the strong
influence in party affairs" of any
New York Governor, and con-
|cluded: Il think this of and In
itself win dispel the idea that
Hartman is only token or
Ifavorite-son candidate"
Mr.. DeSapio was obliging In
other ways. He explained the
relationship between his favoriiS
candidate and the avowed can
didate. Adlai Stevenson: 1T is
Ione of mutual respect"
He said Il was too early" to
say who might win a California
primary between Mr.. Stevenson
land Senator Estes Kefanver.
Thinking May Be Altered
"A number of events win occur
between now and the primary
that viii alter the thinking of
the people of California and the
entire country he said, with
out explaining what the events
might be.
He also explained what might
have happened when former
President Truman was reported
as having called Vice President
Nixon a harsh name. HE may
have had 4 slight cold and
hoarseness. You newspaper fell
lows are always on the ball. but
i think you have got, him all
wrong. II he says he didn't.
he didn't; either that or you
didn't hear him."
He was moderate in his re-
marks about the moderation
advocated by Mr.. Stevenson and
attacked by Gov. Hartman.
