During the several years of its tence no report was made of one single arrest despite the fact that bootleggers continued to thrive. In each incorporated town in Alaska the police have all the laws necessary for enforcement. The mar- shal offices has enforcement powers inside and side of incorporated cities.

Presidential | nominees h: perhaps never been so closely scruti- | nized or so cruely cross-examined, as were these men in the course of the hearings before the Senate mem- | bers of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic | Their loyalty tioned in the first instance only by such minds Senator McKellar's, was proved beyond peradventure But now, in the expectation that they will be renomi- nated by the President when their short initial terms expire next August, Senator Knowland wants the FBI to probe their pasts anew--as though their dis- tinguished records of public service were to be con ed of no account This bill is, of course, an affront not only to the commission members byt to the President as well and, in addition, as Senator McMahon pointed out, an unwarranted interference with the executive appoint- ing power. Its most sinister aspect, however, is its | elevation of the FBI to an authority which no police | agency should enjoy in a so jety supposed to be free If the FBI should produce what it deems to be de1dga- information about one of the commissioners, it| is rcely to be supposed that it would revesl the source of its information to mere members of the Senate any more than it would do so to members of the Loyalty Review Board. Its simple disparagement | would thus be made tantamount to disqualification leven of men nominated by the President of the | United States. | If the security of the country really requires investigation—which, in the circumstances, 1s to approval—of persons chosen to direct the development of atomic energy, then plainly it requires “BI vestl- | gation of the person chosen to direct the Army or the country’s fereign policy-indeed, of every member of | the Cabinet and of the President himself. And, when | you come to think of it, can the country afford to take iur granted the loyalty of the men appointed to the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, in- cluding even Senator Knowland? But when the FBI ast investigated and cleared these Senators, security will still not be complete.

Especially in Mississippl, resent- ment against Truman has been tak- en out against negroes. And while the visit of )suumern governors to Washington has made headlines, the race incidents haven't. How- about FBI. Not only as a reward but| also for the psychological effect on other FBI men, Attorney Gen- | eral Tom Clark recommended Tamm's appointment as judge in the District of Columbia.
