The majority of the Committee, |Van Nuys said, disagreed with Price's view and as to the Presi- dent’s right as Commander-In- Chief to censor mail between Al- aska, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the | United States. Price, when asked what the rea- son for the new bill was, if the President already has taken the power of censorship between | United States and Territories over, replied that he wanted explicit au- |thority in statutory form to pro- | tect his office. Van Nuys said that he objected i(u censorship between the United States and its Territories because it indicated a “tendency by the agencies of the government to ig- nore the palpable intent of Con- |sress in passing the War Powers | Act.” No Legal Power Van Nuys said that’ Section 303 of the first War Powers Act spe- | cifically confined the Presidential authority to the censorship of com- munications between the Continen- tal United States and foreign countries. “I have no criticism of Price’s integrity nor of his desire to com- ply with the requirements of Con-| gress if he knows what they are,”| Van Nuys said. | The Chairman of the Judiciary | Committee said that all members |of the Committee were in favor of | censorship in-so-far as it prevent- | ed information from falling into ! ‘thv.- hands of the enemy that might | be used against the United States, but said that the Committee felt| |that there had been abuses. Gov. Gruening repeated his at- tack on the abuses of censorship, Van Nuys said, while Dimond “op-| | posed censorship of any charac- | ter” regarding Alaska That Excerpt Issue Senator Van Nuys said Price ex- plained that the circulation of ex- cerpts from censored letters among various Federal agencies was due | to the interest of the FBI, for iinsmnce‘ in knowing whether de- |fense workers in Alaska had any | subversive tendencies, and that of the War Productions Board and the | CHAMBER HEARS THAT RATIONED 600DS GO SOUTH poimComflee to Con- sult with OPA on Question | | | authorized appointment of a com- mittee to confer with OPA offic! regarding the complaint of several Juneau storekeepers that Alaskans are buying food that is being ra- tioned in the States and are ship- ping the products to friends and relatives in the South.

Guests will be allowed but the dinner will be strictly stag To Show Movies Biologist Charles Gillham, recent- assigned to the Alaska Game Commission, will furnish the en- | tertainment, showing an hour’s worth of film that will make its preview at the special dinner. Guests today included A. H. Nor- dale, Senator from Fairbanks; Al Anderson, Secretary of the Alaska Miners’ Association, also from Fair- banks; F. M. Buchanan, Field Di- rector for the American Red Cross’ Military and Naval Welfare Service in Alaska; John Keyser, former Ju- neauite with the U. S. Weather Bu- raeu, on his way to Washington, D. C, on a new assignment; W. P. McCarthy, traveling auditor for the Alaska Steamship Company, and several U. S. Army officers. Bo> Sommers was welcomed back Anderson spoke briefly, stating iy | that mining is not altogether dead in Alaska. He said that the mining companies are doing everything they can to aid the war effort and have turned over much equipment for use by the government. He s: that | much work is being done in con- nection with the mining of stra- tegic minerals, including lead, plat- inum, tin and others. Duties of Organization Buchanan told the Chamber that his ARC organization is acting in Alaska as a means of communica- tion between men in the service and their families, assisting the officers. Keyser was another speaker Jtell- ing of the crowded conditions and the difficulties of living in Anchor- age. He said that there has been no fuel oil there for two weeks, that at least 50 houses have frozen up Keyser said tha tone, 14-room house, are half empty and the warehouses are empty. Business men, he said, have far more trouble in securing labor and materials than do those in Southeast Alaska. Speaking of the housing shortage, Keyser said that one 14-room house, converted into a lodging house, had slept at least 1500 men in three months, charging $6 a night for a The Chamber of Commerce today ! q Spruce Project | | It was announced that the Cham- DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— BIG BARGE TORRDTRIO)S GOESDOWN " Hexe NEAR HERE } \"Manpower”” Combines| ' s | Diefrich, Robinson and {Tow Loaded with Expens-| Raft at 20th Century ive Equipment for | 3 { | | Filmdom's most dynamic three- | some are starred in Warner Bros.' exciting film, “Manpower,” which | > |makes its local bow tonight at the | | Alaska's new spruce project op-|20th Century | (eration suffered a tough blow last| The unbeatable star combina- | {week when a barge carrying aition which heads the cast is Ed- large amount of expensive equip-|ward G.

He further sald} |he could not know everything that |was being done in that respect | until notified. Crazy Censorship Senator Ernest W. McFarland of Arizona revealed certain practices of censors in the Seattle office. He said one censored letter was| brought to his personal attention. This was a letter from a woman in California written to her hus- band who was working on a mili- tary project in Alaska. This let- ter merely asked her husband for information as to how she could join him in Alaska. Excerpts from Letters Chairman Van Nuys said that when a letter was intercepted by the censors they sent the excerpts to the FBI on the ground the FBI wanted to check all persons going to Alaska and the WPB desired the information as a background to defense workers employed there. Van Nuys said he is impressed, however, in the belief that “900 letters out of every 1,000 letters” going to and from Alaska con- cerned “purely personal domestic affairs.” What in Hell Chairman Van Nuys demanded: “What in Hell is the U.S. spend- ing a lot of money for to intercept those letters? Senator George W. Norris, asked by reporters whether he was sat- isfied with the operation of censor- ship as explained by Price, said: “No, No, No." Senator Norris further replied | he was refusing to make any more comment. | While Price went into detail on the situation regarding a military zone and the possibility that mail might fall into hands of the |enemy, Van Nuys said the military | for a sleeping bag on the floor, he added, “the OPA is going to see that the price doesn't go any higher.” ., — ALASKA COASTAL MAKES FLIGHT TO EXCURSION INLET On a charter flight to Excursion Inlet made this afternoon by Al- aska Coastal Airlines, W.

Ross, chairman of the Fairbanks Selective Service Board said censorship of Alaskan mail resulted in a recent letter being received from another board say- ing: “ . .. induct this man inasmuch as the appeal board has decided against his request for deferment.” The censor had cut the man’s name out. And from another letter written by a registrant to give the Fair- banks board his new address, the censor had removed the address. shot down yesterday and four sthers badly damaged in an mr!me Grand Igloo. | battle off the coast between Jap fighters and Allied bombers.
