NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alasks Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Blde., Seattle, Wash. TO BE ABANI)ONEI)Z’ Representative Warren G. Maghuson of Washing- | ton declares that the $130,000,000 Alaska Military | Highway is a gross failure as a military supply road | to Alaska, and the highway, in effect, does not exist at all. Magnuson is chairman of the Alaska International | Highway Commission. He should know what he is talking about. ? His remarks evidently were made for some pur- pose. We would like to know more. Does he mean that the highway is to be abandoned? Certainly, some parts can be salvaged. work on Alaska Haines Highway, to tie Southeastern Territory road system, particularly on the the road which can eventually serve Alaska with the rest of the Re\oluhon n (-ermam i) (Cincinnati Enqun-pr» A neutral personage who recently visited Germany brought back to Allied sources a novel warning. Be- ware, he said, a fake German “revolution” on the eve of the Allied assult upon Hitler's European fortress. The intent of such a move ,of course, would be to encourage hesitation and doubt in the Allied camp at the very instant of iremendous military under- taking. Undoubtedly, it would be dressed up to re- semble an “overthrowing” of Hitler and his associates by “the good Germans,” and would be designed to convince the world that the Third Reich and the Nazi party had been taken over by men with whom the Allies could deal in honor and trust. According to the neutral personage, the German army would volunteer to negotiate between “two gallant enemies” to arrange the evacuation of occupied countries and make other tempting concessions to the Allies. It is doubtful, of course, that any such move, regardless of how well stage-managed it was, would dissuade the top Allied military leaders from pro- ceeding with their plans. But it can readily be ap- preciated how many of the people and some of the fighting men of the United States might be en- couraged to feel that it “was all over,” and the need for invasion was past Naturally, if the reaction in Allied circles seemed favorable (from a Nazi standpoint) the Germans would proceed immediately to convert their trial balloon into an actual means of getting out of the war' on relatively easy terms. " Such a scheme, however, would involve a very | grave element of risk to the Nazis. TIf it backfired, it would be more hurtful to them than to the Allies. | And backfire it might. Germany’s present political | situation is shaky, and a fake revolution might set up a train of unforeseen consequences—once again | defeating Germany before her military strength was exhausted. | For that reason, we doubt if the Nazis will at- | tempt a phony revolution at least until the Allies |have landed and reinforced their position on the IContlnem Almost certainly it will be tried when | the drive on Berlin begins te roll successfully from | two directions. | Partly through wishful thinking and partly | through ideas planted by the Nazis themselves, many | people of the Allied nations have expected a German ‘revulution for some time. However, a Nazi leader recently said, “Everything in Germany is now so | totalitarianized that if a revolution occurs, it will also The posl war penod we hope, will call for more ‘ be Nazi made.” (Continuea irom Page Oune) ful, deliberate, malicious lie, out of the whole cloth. If any Senator stands in awe of me for any reason, 1 do not know it. I have never heard of such a thing. The only thing I can say about that state- ment is that it is an absolute false- “A COLOSSAL LIE" “Listen to this. Of all the re- markable stateménts that have been made about me in this article, this one is the most false, most | damnable, 'most outrageous, the most colossal lie I have ever read about myself or anyone else: ‘They| remember the occasion when Mc- Kellar pulled a knife, and charged @ colleague on the Senate floor, | until he was disarmed.” “I say that that statement is a willful, deliberate, malicious, dis- honest, intensely cowardly, low, de- grading, filthy lie out of the whole cloth. I never pulled a knife on any person in my life. Not only, have I never pulled a knife on any Senator but I have never pulled a knife on anyone in my entire his-| tory."” (During this part of his speech, Senator McKellar glared hard at Senator Clark of Missouri.) MR. CLARK of MISSOURI: “Mr. | | President, will the Senator yield McKELLAR: “T yield. Notwith- standing my temper, to yield.” | MR. CLARK: *“I can bear wit-| ness to the fact that the Senator was never intemperate with me.” | NOTE — The Associated Press,| April 5, 1938, reported: “When the Senate quit for the day, Senator | McKellar made a lunge at Senalur Copeland, but Senator Clark of | Missouri stepped in. Struggling in Mr. Clark's arms, Senator McKellar | announced distinctly that Senator | Copeland was a blankety-blank, | asfnine old son of a son.and-so,| Furthermore, Senator McKellar| went on, he was a blankety-blank, lying what-you-may-call-it.” Senator Clark ldter told this! columnist that McKellar had a clasp knife which he was taking out of his side coat pocket when | I am delighted | { from Tennessee is acting chairman of the powerful Appropriations Com- mittee, where he can kill the pet projects of Senators who oppose him. " “A LYING BRUTE” “Well, I never heard of such a| thing! However, since this lying| brute has brought up the subject, I wish to ask my friends if any of them have ever heard of my at- tempting to kill their projects? I do not ask any of them to speak up unless they want to. I shall be glad to have them do so if any of them have anything to say about it. Did I ever kill a pet project of any Senator, be he Democrat, Re- publican or Independent? I never did such a thing in my life. My whole life here brands that as a lie. It is just a plain Drew Pear- son lie. “Evidently he has formed a coal- ition with this other great liar, Lil- ienthal. As my colleagues know, birds of a feather will flock to- gelher. Lilienthal himself, as shown | by the record, has falsified dozena of times while testifying before our ' committee. Apparently he has got another liar to come, glong and help defend him in his lies. “I read on: ‘The power of Sen- | ate confirmation is tremendous and gives a Senatcr from the State af- Jected the virtual veto of any ap- pointee to whom he may have per- sonal objections.” “It 1is ridiculous, it is silly, it 1s asinine. It is worse. It is just a' crooked statement of a crook who |is trying to help another crook. “Again I read: ‘Other Senators don't especially inquire what those | cbjections are, but gang together, 16 preserve their long-cherished sys- tgullty of exhibition of *temper, tem of keeping a throttle-hold on patronage.’ " “I try to be honest with my con- stituents. I try to be straight- forward. I do not undertake to lie to them. I tell them the truth, and |I serve them. And this is true, | notwitHstanding this man Pearson and his client Lilienthal, “Gentlemen, I am not angry. I am just sorry that this great na- tion of ours, this nation of honest men, this nation of Americans, has within its borders any person so; |low and despicable, so corrupt, so groveling, so desirous of injuring the character and the accomplish- \ments of his [ellow men, as this low-born, low-lived, corrupt, and| dishonest Drew Pearson. “Mr. President, do Senators all know what a skunk he is? He is sometimes known as a polecat. The animal ecalled a skunk cafinot change his smell, This human skunk cannot change his smell. He| will always be just a low-life skunk. “Mr. President, if I have beén I hope the Senators will forgive me.”/ (Copyright, 1944, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) ——e——— KINY PROGRAM SCHEDULE Sunday Aftéerncon and Evening 1:30—Lutheran Hour. 2:00—-KWID News rebroadcast. 2:05--Pause that Refreshes. —Pause that Refreshes. 3:00—News Rebroadcast. 3:05—Your Radio Hour. 3:30—Your Radio Hour. 4:00—Voice of Prophecy. 4:30—Light Concert. 5:00—News Rebroadcast.

It is fore- cast that conferences or pronounce- ments will cause bankers to be cau- tious; war crises presage mamonith Government expenditures. NATIONAL ISSUES: Because the present largely determiines the future one of the first steps toward postwar prosperity is the study of community needs. Reforms of so- cial institutions must start at the foundations and this is the time to begin, astrologers declare. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:| Noteworthy improvement in India’s| situation is forecast.

More than 200 were guests at St. Ann’s Hospital the previous after- noon from 1 to 5 o’clock, it being National Hospital Day. Federal official approval from the Seécretary of Agriculture of allot- ments aggregating $182,000 from the Forest Service Road Fund for ex- penditure this season on four Alaskan projects had been received at District Forestry headquarters here. . Enroute to Ketchikan to take a vessel direct to the mouth of the Kuskokwim River, M. H. Sides, Deputy Collector of Customs, left here on the Admiral Rogers. He was expected to be absent from Juneau most of the summer. Sealing operations of the Indians in Southeast Alaska this year were lightest in history and netted but eight seal skins, according to Fisheries Warden M. J. O'Connor, who had just returned from the Sitka district where he was in charge of the seal patrol maintained annually by the Bureau of Fisheries. * Replacement of the planking on Front Street below its intersection with Franklin Street was started this day by a force under the direction of Street Foreman Garnick. Called to Anchorage on official business in connection with the Pield Division, General Land Office, George A. Parks, who recently re- lieved J. P.
