Rustgard F lays Paul and Cole In Radio Talk Sees in Their Association a Plot to Dominate Territorial Affairs JOHN RUSTGARD In a speech broadcast over sia- tion KGBU, Anchorage, Sunday evening, Attorney General John Rustgard lashed out savagely at Cash Cole, Territarial Auditor, and Willlam L. Paul, Indian lfldfl' and irdependent General, been scattering a lot of false prop- aganda all over the Territory against him. He denied that he had promised General's office beginning next month, but asserted that Paul had been employed by the Republican Divisional Committee of the First Division at a salary of $250 per month. and that Delegate Wick- {ersham had paid $250 each to Wil- liam L. Paul and his brother Louis, paid $400 to the former and $100 ito the latter, making a total of $1,000. Attacks Auditor Mr. Rustgard opened his ad- dress with a direct offensive against Auditor Cole, and declar- ed that he and Mr. Paul “are not worthy of belief.” He charged that the Auditor was removed from the Territorial Road Commission because “it was thought. . . he had abused his of- ficial position by making his poli- tical campaign in airplanes at the expense of tHe Territory, on the pretext of inspecting roads.” He added: “He showed similar disregard for the interests of the public in many other transactions. For that reason the Legislature provided that the expense of the Auditor’s office must be approved by the Treasurer of the Territory before paid. This brought down on Mr. Smith the rage of the Au- ditor.” Why Board Was Created Mr. Rustgard said the Legisla- ture had created the Board of Examiners—the Governor, Treas- urer and Attorney IGeneral—be- cause it was thouffit “Mr. Cole had been arbitrary in disallowing just claims against the Territory.” Supporting this contention, he said in the fall of 1930 a claim of the Arctic Transport{ Company, 2 Lomen Corporation, 16 $4,500 for a boat subsidy on Seward Penin- sula, approved by the Governorand |ordered paid, was refused payment by Cole. An identical claim came up again in the Fall of 1931 which he neither refused nor disallowed, merely doing nothing about it. “Later,” Mr. Rustgard said, “Mr. Cole went to Seattle where he as- sociated with his friend, Willilam Paul. What he said to Paul I do not know, but after Cole returned to Juneau, Paul offesed the offic- ers of the Arctic Transport Com- pany to go to Juneau and persuade Cole to draw warrants on the treasury for the claims in question on condition that he, Paul, receive a fee of $1,000 for his services. Says Paul Collects * “That offer was accepted., Paul come to Juneau on one boat and returned to Seattle on the mext ship with the two warrants and In the early nineties; the district produced more than $2,000,000 from placer operations, received his fee.
