The Senate group voted to restore ¢uts made by the House, which may mean more than $2,000,000 more for Alaska. The Senate committee almost doubled funds for roads in Alaska, and also eliminated the House rider that the Territory would have to put up $1 for every $3 it receives from the Federal government for roads. | The committee also followed President Truman’s recommendation to turn over to the Office of Indian Affairs the Sitka Naval Base and other installations for a sanatorium and boarding school, which will help ir the new tuberculosis program.

Inside fact also is tmat John Sny- der himself was the strongest ad-| vocate of Pred Vinson’s appoint- | ment as Chief Justice. Snyder kept urging Truman to promote Vinson out of the Treasury Department to the Supreme Court. There was no question as to what was in the! back of Snyder’s mind. He wanted Vinson's treasury job for himself. Reason for the inner-cabinet op- position to Snyder is that other cabinet members have seen him work close-hand, have witnessed | too many tragic mistakes. Hannegan, for instance, has tried S0 many times to ease Snyder out of the White House because of his| errors, that Truman once instruct- ed Hannegan that the question of Snyder was taboo. He said he didn't want to discuss the matter! further, Secretary of the Treasury Vin- son also has had various brushes | with Snyder. One came shortly af-| ter V-J Day, when Snyder wrote A 40-page memo recommending | that all war controls be dropped.! By accident, Vinson, who knew| from experience as Economic Sta- bilizer and War Mobilizer what de- control meant, discovered the Sny-| der memo and rushed over to the White House. *“Are you fellows crazy?” he ask- ed. He finally madnaged to stop Snyder’s proposed action. However, Snyder did drop the controls on construction, and then had to restore them later; on wool- en goods, which is one reason for veterans clothing shortage; on ny- lons, which is one reason for the nylon shortage. One of John's worst blunders ‘was to promise a price increase to the steel industry without first get-| ting a commitment that industry would raise wages. This one mo-|position to dropping the probe.

Rankin, seeing that he could not get away with providing a platform | for the Klan, then made this re- markable statement. “After all,” he said, “the Klan is | a completely American institution, | and its members are Americans, That's not what this Committee | was set up to study.
