NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash ELECTION TU Although Alaskans don’t have anything to say about who's gecing to be the President after next Tuesday,they're still interested in a national election.

LOOKING AT THE RECORD | Dewey . has been talking about ' cleaning up Washington. Therefore, it is now important to examine the prosecuting record of Governor | Dewey on political cases since he became chief executive of New| York. On Sunday evening, December 19, | 1943, a delegation of high-ranking Republicans called at the Gover- nor's mansion in Albany. They in-| cluded Lieutenant Governor Joe R.| Hanley, Speaker Oswald Heck, Ma- jority Leader Irving Ives of the Assembly, and Senate Majority Leader Benjamin F. Feinberg. They | asked Dewey to supersede a Grand Jury which was to convene on Tuesday, December 21, at 10 a. m. That Grand Jury, called by the O'Connell Democratic Administra- | tion in Albany, was to probe B“di prasecute alleged graft and irregu- larities in the Albany Senate and Assembly. Since the Republican Party is in control of both Houses, naturally it meant that some Re- publicans would get hit. Panic, therefore, had" swept Albany. So at the unique hour of 10 on a Sunday night, Governor Dewey jssued an order superseding local Grand Jury and setting up two Grand Juries of his own. NOTHING IMPORTANT HAPPENS Those Grand Juries have been | and | laboring -~ for nearly a year, rothing of any consequence has hnppened A flood of subpoenas has been lssued—approximatel) 5,000. books of various stores, cor- tions and hotels, especially the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, !u‘ye been seized or examined. Leg- isigtors claim their phones have | béen tepped. Records of the Roosevelt Hotel are reported by investigators es- pecially interesting. One New York State Senatorial Committee spent several days at the hotel, and afterwards sent in a bill to New York State for several thousand dollars to defray a stay of juvenile delinquency. However, the books of the hotel showed that the money went largely for whiskey, football tickets, flowers, theatre tickets and & fur coat. Several Republicans, plus a few Grandpa Throws Away His Ear Trumpet If you are temporarily deafened, bothered by ringing, buzzing head noises due to hardened or coagulated wax (cerumen), try the Ourine Home Method test that so many say has enabled them to hear well again.

What' these purchases had to do with juvenile delinquency is not known. But Gov. Dewey’s clean-up Grand Juries to date have done nothing tangible about them. TOLERATION IN ALBANY Several other New York legis- |lative committees got money for unique purposes, not illegal, but the same type of thing Gov. Dewey has rightly criticized in Washing- ton. Apparently, however, they were tolerated in Albany. There was a $10,000 committee to study the rise and fall of the tides on Lake George; a $15,000 committee to examine treaties with Indians, |and a $10,000 committee to investi- gate chiropractors, Most interesting situation in Al- “bany, however, involves Lieutenant |Gov. Joe R. Hanley, the likeahle old-time politician whom Dewey personally selected to run in a by- election and to succeed him in {case he becomes President. The Awpany Grand Jury which {Dewey so suddenly superseded on a Sunday night, last December, was scheduled to probe a charge that Lieutenant Gov. Hanley put his son on the state payroll and then drew most of the salary paid to his son. Such an action, if true, would be a violation of New York law. This column interviewed Lieu- tenant Gov. Hanley, and he admit- ted that his son Jim had been employed as an attorney for Meach, Harmon, Lytell and Blackmore, 1, 1939, to July 1, 1939, while the firm was installing a new system of budgeting costs for New York State. During that brief period Buffalo accounting firm, from April | young Hanley received $3,000. of| |that amount, $2,000 showed up in| the account of his father. HANLEY DIDN'T KNOW “I didn't know the money had been pui in my account,” Lieuten- ant Gov. Hanley told this column, “until I went to the bank to ar-{ |range a loan and they told me I ’dndnt need to borrow any mony because my son had deposited $2,000 to my account. Jim owed me around $8,000 I had spent for Ihis education and he was anxious to pay me back. I was quite sur- iprised to hear about the deposit.” “If I made a mistake,” Lieutenant Gov. Hanley continued, “it was in letting my son go on the payroll. Morris Tremaine (former State Controller, now dead) arranged it.| But my sen, who is a lawyer,| |worked hard and was paid for his| Job. Another man who helped put young Hanley on the payroll is| former Deputy State Controller Charlie Mullins who, when called before the Grand Jury, refused to waive his immunity and would not testify. It is not the purpose of this column to pass on the merits of |the alleged case against Lieutenant Gov. Hanley or any other New York legislator. - Their activities were similar to some of the petty operations, nepotism and lobbying which this column also has exposed in Washington and which Gov. Dewey quite rightly has promised to clean up. The point is that close { | | to home in Albany he hasn’t cleaned up—yef. (Copyright, 1944, by United Feature -Syndicate, Inc.) 32.

Simmons e HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” B ) FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3 Adverse aspects dominate today which may be disturbing in effects on the mind. Depression may pre- vail under this configuration. HEART AND HOME: Women are under an unfavorable direction of the stars and may lack energy or confidence. This is a time for rest and recreation. Campaign workers will gain by avoiding strenuous effort until better planetary in- fluences prevail. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Expansion steps should be postponed but planning for expansion of business in 1945 will be fortunate. Enter- tainment places will profit greatly. For the next week the wise will| mark time. NATIONAL ISSUES: Establish- ment of the four freedoms will be stressed at this time when enemy propaganda will seek to foment class consciousness and race preju- dices. Certain aspects increase sen- sitiveness and special effort to avoid trouble is imperative. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Restoration of ports and harbors now held by the United Nations will be made with amazing speed and much will be accomplished be(ore winter. Our merchant ma- |rine comes under splendid condi- |tions of promise for the future. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year in which concentration on business affairs is recommended. Temptation to pursue love affairs will be strong for both men and women. Children born on this day prob-| ably will climb high in vocations but they may not manage their earnings wisely.
