Action Sought On Merchant Marine And Fishing Bills

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Thor Tollefson R-Wash wants to see Congress act on four pieces of Merchant Marine and fishing leg islation before it winds up for the year.
 Tollefson, ranking Republican on the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, hopes to obtain agreement from Chair man Herbert c. Bonner ONO to hold hearings on the proposals in the next few days.
 The chief ones would authorize payment of construction differ entials on fishing vessels and would increase the fisheries loan fund used by fishermen to finance construction, repair or equipping their vessels.
 The construction differential would offset the added costs fish ermen must pay for new vessels as the result of requirements that fishing craft must be built in US. yards. The added cost, roughly one third more than comparable vessels built in foreign yards, has added to the competitive problem of New England fishermen and West Coast tuna operators.
 Tollefson said he hopes the House also will act on Senate passed bill which would author ize payment of $10 a ton for un- livered dogfish sharks or 10 cents pound for dogfish shark flyers as a means of ridding northwest salmon waters of the predator.
 Action also should be had, he said, on a bill to relieve such ship ping firms as Alaska Steamship Go. and Matson Navigation Go. from the added expense of print ing their full tariff contract on each bill of lading or passenger ticket.

Investors In Alaska Are Warned To Beware Of Fraud

OLYMPIA, LR - Washington may be prime target for fraudu- lent investment schemes involv- ing Alaskan natural resources, Mrs. Louise Taylor, State License Director, said Tuesday.
 She said her department is currently studying ways to tight en up the states ''blue sky laws" that are designed to protect in- vestOrs.
 "The recent Congressional ac- tion admitting Alaska to state hood has precipitated a rash of speculative sales promotions on her natural resources" Mrs. Fay Tor reported at Gov. Rosellini's monthly cabinet meeting.
 She said one national finan- cial expert has predicted that many of the promotions will be fraudulent.
 The license director urged po- tential investors to check with the Securities Division of her de- pertinent before laying their cash on the line.
 "We can't guarantee there is oil or gas -on a certain piece of property, but wes can investigate the integrity of companies put ting out stock issues," she said.

LOCAL GAP SQUADRON
 AIDS SEARCH FOR PLANE

The local CAP Squadron di- rected a search all day Saturday and Sunday for Bud Priest and his three passengers who were lost after leaving Kobuk. The passengers were the three maga- zine salesmen, two girls and a boy who had been in Nome last week.
 Dusty Rhodes with Bill Brick son searched in the Rhodes plane accompanied by Bill Caudill, CAP squadron corhmander of Ga lena with observer Joe Cook.
 Also assisting from Galena were Dick Forsgren and Harold Perkins both of the CAA.
 The plane was located late Sunday by C-123 of the military on the Selawik River south of Kotebue and gas was flown to them by USAF helicopter.
 As near as could be ascertained bad weather took the plane off its course while enroute from Kobuk to Hughes.
 Local commander of CAP Dusty Rhodes states that 45 flight hours were logged for CAP in the search.

Seaton Asks Legislation To Protect Investors In Oil, Gas Lands

WASHINGTON, R - Secre- tary of Interior Seaton announced today he has asked Congress to prohibit the subdivision of fed eral oil and gas leaseholds into leases covering less than $40 acres, with certain exceptions.
 Seaton said the proposal would protect unwary investors against misleading advertising promo tions which imply that one can strike it rich by speculating in. a subdivided lease covering a small holding, usually 40 acres
 Seaton said he had suggested legislative safeguards in a letter to House Speaker Sam Rayburn. He added that a necessary excep- ton would be where the entire acreage of an existing valid lease is less than $40 acres.
 "Other exceptions would be where there is evidence that ex- ploration or development will actually be undertaken in the assigned area" he said.
 Seaton recalled that he warned investors last April to be caut- ious over advertisements solicit ing investment in oil and gas leases on federal land. At that time he said the department was considering recommending legis- lation.

Laundry Operator Charges Payoffs Were For HOffa

WASHINGTON, R - A former Detroit laundry operator swore Tuesday that payoffs he under stood would go to Teamsters boss James R. Hoffa averted a threatened strike in 1949.
 William H. Miller told the Sen ate Packets Investigating Com mittee he personally turned over $45O to an official of an organi- zation of laundry firms of labor peace in the Detroit laundry in dustry.
 Hoffa, now the Teamsters In ternational president, was Mid west boss of the union at that time
 Hoffa was a witness before the Senate committee, and was asked to step aside while Miller testi- fled.
 The Teamsters president, who had just denied much recollection of anything having to do with the negotiations in the 1949 labor dispute, sat silently at the wit ness table in the big, crowded hearing room as Miller gave his testimony.
 Miller, who said he now runs Bill Miller's Hotel and restaurant at Watersmeet, Mich, said he was in the laundry business in 1949.
 Miller said he cannot of his own knowledge swear that any of the money ever. did go to Hoffa.
 He said John Meisner, secre- tary of a laundry firms associa- ton, collected the money and that he had been told previously the money had been demanded by Hoffa as payoff.
 q don't know if it's true, ," Miller said at one point. Under questioning by the committees chairman, Sen. John L. McClel- Ian D-Ark, Miller said no one ever told him since then that the money went to anyone other than Hoffa.
 When Hoffa. took the witness chair, he was told he was going to be questioned at length about his alleged associations with gangsters.
 Mcclellan said in an opening statement that this questioning might extend for weeks, off and on. He said the committees record is replete with testimony linking Hoffa's name with the underworld.

Plenty Of time has passed

as much jealousy and rivalry
today among the branches as
at any time In the past.
Gen. Gavin has suggested
q new setup that might de-
velop q united. cooperative
force that could be depended
on for both ofiense and de-
tense. OF course, the man
at the top should be one OF

sense. Could Gen. Gavin be
this man? Do you remember
Billy Mitchell and the dump
ing he received at the hands
OF the big brass because he
dared TO air q logical idea?
Is this going to happen to
Gen. Gavin?
I do not believe that the
citizens Of this country are
at all concerned with keeping
up the relative strength Of
the various branches Of our
fighting force. but that they
do want the best equipped
and best trained combined
defense force that can be de-
yeloped.

We have heard q great deal

way TO peace among nations
lies through the hearts OF

considerations to that end
are mere palliatives: for men
are ruled by their hearts, not
by their heads. As a man
thinketh in his heart. so is ne.
How well we all remember
that great leader, Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower. in World
War II. He was our supreme
commander. he led US to VIC

mander In Chief. He has led
US in peace. Let US. as loyal
citizens OF this great United

No War Crisis but Still Crisis

gates attended 1t.
In Eastern Asia the phrase
Near" or Middle" East Is
never employed. 1t is q West
ern phrase. descriptive of
proximity to Europe. Mr..
Nehru and all other Far
Eastern leaders call the area
Western Asia" Geographic
cally 1t is--either part of the
Asian continent or Of Africa.
But the very phrase has po-
litical overtones.
Russia, which occupies
most Of central Asia. and
also extends into Europe, de-
scribes herself as an Asian
power when dealing with
Asiatics. and as an integral
part Of Europe when dealing
with Europeans. Hers is the
great continent" and heart
land" concept that the late
Sir Halford MacKinder, Brit
ish geopolitician. publicized,
and which has been held by
all Russian strategists since
the consolidation Of the Rus
sian Empire.
But so far Soviet defense
policies are based on making
political gains and. in the
Arab Middle East, the Soviets
have fertile ground. They
and the Arab and Israeli
Communists have a program.
Like all programs that are
successful. it consists Of
analyzing the desires. am
billions, and grievances of
peoples and lining up and
leading what is already there.
Russia and the Commu-
nists did not have TO create
popular anti-Western feeling.
1t is a legacy from the past.
And today the United States
shares the burden Of that
legacy.
