Several filings for offices already have been made and they should be coming in thick and fast during the next few weeks. A fight seems to be déveloping between the Pauls and the Peratrovichs in the Alaska Native Brother- hood, powerful organization composed of the Indians of Southeast Alaska. A recent letter by William L. Paul charges that because Roy and Frank Peratrovich have failed to bring the natives of Klawock strongly behind the ANB, the ANB is being forced to merge with the AFL when it could have been the sole bar- gaining agent for Southeast Alaska. All of which means that the Pauls, who carry quite a bit of weight | with the voting membership of the ANB, ar2 out after Frank Peratrovich’s scalp. Frank was elected to the House of Representatives last election and probably will file again this year, perhaps for the Senate. William Paul has filed for the House after several sessions of inactivity. Roy Peratrovich has just ended five or six years as Grand President of the ANB and has a strong following. The First Division must elect two senators this year and eight representatives. The Territory at large The Washmglon Merry - Go- Round (Continued from Pape One) | tion bill.

It would be insulting to the intelligence of the House as a whole to suppose that it means to treat his proposals with any degree of serious- ness. the further revelation they afford of the mental | processes which prevails in the extraordinary committee of which Mr. Wood happens to be the national chairman Mr. Wood’s bill would impose upon radio stations an obligation no I light than to answer Pontius i Pilate’s ancient question, “What is truth?” All radio stations, his bill declares, shall “by proper and fre- quent announcements clearly separate and distinguish programs consisting of news items from those programs based upen, or consisting of, personal opinion or pro- i paganda.” Of courss, a great many radio stations, and all newspape already attempt to do this, But \none of them has yet satisfaction of ail men. | the interpretation of fact One man's “news” may very well be another man's “propaganda.” And any effort rigidly to enforce a | differentiation between them can have the effect only of limiting the freedom to express ideas. Indubitably this is Mr. Wood’s intention. make matters as difficult as possible for those who broadcast “opinions or propaganda.” He would require radio stations to “describe and identfy” them and “to keep on file for public inspection a sworn statement of facts, setting forth the place of birth, name, nationality and political affiliation of such persons.” The relevance of such statistics is difficult to discern. He would also air-line miles of the transmitter “a legal agent upon whom legal process may be served.” It seems to us that this goes far beyond reasonable protection against libel or abuse and invites harassment.
