Other senators, and representa- | tives, too, have taken this trip in summers past, but Senators Frazier, Thomas and Shipstead have the imperishable distinction of being first to make the start from Seattle's newly misnamed Alaskan Way. The pretext for this senatorial excursion is to investi- gate reports of mistreatment of Alaska natives. There |has to be a pretext for every such excursion by n: | self-organized committee of Congress. The reports |of Alaska's governor, of Alaska’s delegate to Con- | gress, or of the multitude of federal agents in Alaska, simply can't be accepted as truthful. Nothing can |be done until congressmen have visited Alaska in person. Nothing much is ever done, anyway. | |" "We've never heard of a senator or a representa- | | tive who was reluctant to make the Alaska trip in | summer time, or who seriously objected to any in- | vestigating committee assignment that would give 'him a pleasant vacation at government expense. But senators and representatives alike accept these cheer- ful assignments only in the years when they are not candidates for reelection. Messrs. Frazier, Thomas | and Shipstead, for example, probably will be home | in time to vote, but have literally nothing to do until| Congress meets next winter.
