This, of course, is the great offense of ERP in the eves of the Russians. If we can make Western Europe happy, free and prosperous we erect a barrier which communism cannot peacefully pass, and which it will be less tempted to try to pass by force. These facts have become more and more obvious | to $nost Americans. 'There is no doubt at all that some of the shifts in Congressional thinking and voting came about because members of both Houses | have been hearing from home. There has been dur- ing these past few weeks a sense of a whole nation making up its mind. Still remaining is the legislative operation of turning the authorization into an appro- | priation. We hope and believe that this will be swiftly { done. The sime ground swell of public opinion which | demanded the passage of the ERP bill will demand this also. We hope that Chairman Tabor of the House Appropriations Committee will find no support for his !absurd proposal to “study” for at least another forty | da plan which been ainder examination by a variety of competent agencies for the last ten months. | The time has come to act. With the President’ ! ture ERP becomes the law of the land. America )ms‘ made up its mind and expressed its wishes. Congress has responded and will respond. And this is democracy. | i i i cond Class Matter Batered in the Post Office in Juneuu SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Delivered by carrier in Juncan ard Douglas for SL.50 per month) six months, S8.00; one year, S15.00 ! overre racy aine y fatlure c: irregularity o the delivery Abe Bustness Office of uny of their papers.

Some of its latest manifesta- | tions have rather uncomfortable implications. We do not refer to silly incidents like the one in which a Jalifornia Judge withheld an estate settlement be- -ause one of the beneficiaries was a Russian, and “Russia was kicking the United States in the teeth.” What we have in mind is the incident of the raiding | of a Communist's home near Columbus. \ Here there was mob action and violence involved, which in itself is a bad thing. We hold no brief for | Communist party officials or what they stand for. That party, however, still happens to enjoy legal status in the United States and, as we believe, in the | State of Ohio. Therefore, the use of mob tactics, which are outside the law, sets a dangerous precedent.

Hayes Zelma Gross C. H. Metcalfe Mrs. Frank Olson Theltha Campbell R. M. Watson Karen Anne Carlson COMMUNICATION Editor, The Empire, April 21— Considerable misinformation is eing circulated concerning the ne- essity of party declarations by vot- rs in the coming primary elections A good example was the small ad un in your April 20 issue by the Alaska Tax Payers League which stated, “you will have to register as 1 Democrat, a Republican or a mem- ser of no Political Party before you an vote.” This is incorrect. When the Common Primary Law vas passed, its framers qverlooked epealing the section in the old law equiring party declarations. { Attorney General Ralph Rivers has stated that in his opinion it was he intent of the new law “to per- mit all qualified voters to partici- pate in the forthcoming primary lection without the necessity of de- claring a political party affiliation.” Since the section referred to above | was not repealed, however, he has istated that “Voters are to be asked to state a political party affilia- ion, which voters will no doubt do n most cases, but (that) persons who decline to so declare themselves will still be entitled to vote. Follow- ng their names on the registration ] will be written the words, ‘No Party Declared,’” and he has fur- ther stated that election officials will be so instructed. In other words, when the election officials asK for your party declar- tion you may state it if you wish, or you may say, “I don't care to make a declaration,” or “No party declared,” or make any similar re- sponse. Definitely, you do not have to de- clare a party affiliation if you don't wish to, nor, regardless of the Al- ska Taxpayers League, do you have to be registered as “a member of no political party,” if you don't de- clare. Those of us who are interested ’in a genuine common primary law should, before the next Legislative Session, let our Legislators know that we want repeal of the old sec- ion requiring party declarations, so that in the next primary election |we will not be asked to make any { declaration of any kind our party affiliations.
