The loss of our expected pulp mill development by the tax reduction. as a result of Indian claims originated by the Interior Department, clearly shows that the problem of seftle- ment of the oboriginal claims ranks stacle to the industrial development Until the problem is dealt with, be accomplished. So far the Interior Department has done nothing toward the settlement of these false claims. Today Alaska gets by because it strategic military outpost and the Federal Government is spending millions of dollars in building up defense But Alaska is losing ground in sound, basic industrial development.

On top of ths is the fact that when the Justice Department was probing the Louisiana scandals, John Rogge unearthed the fact that $125000 had been paid by United Gas Improvement Corp., an Electric Bond and Share subsid- jary, to Tom Hill, a big New Or- leans gambler, who in turn passed part of the money on to Governor Dick Leche, part to Louisiana’s new Senator, William Feazel, and kept part for himself. Reason for this unusually large payment by a big corporation to three interesting Louisiana figures never was revealed. For that time Roosevelt threw. cold water on the Louisiana probe. How- cver, the present Republican Sen- ate may want to continue the un- finished story of Louisiana where the Justice Department left off. Note—Governor Long would like to appeoint his nephew Russell Long, eldest son of the late Huey Long, to the Senate. But Russell is only 29, and under the law a U. S. Senator must be thirty. There- fore it's reported that Feazel wi make way for Russell later. MODEST MIKE MONRONEY It was like Congressman , Mike Monroney of Oklahoma never to breathe a word about the fact that President Truman offered him the job of Secretary of Agriculture. | However, he did—just after Clin-/ ton Anderson resigned | It was also like Monroney that he turned the oifer down. His re- fusal was on the very simple ground that he didn’t know enough about agriculture or the farmers' point of viéw. “All my life” | | he told Truman “1 have spent defending the con- sumer and thinking about his point ‘of . view. Therefore, 1 just wouldn't be a good man to cham- pion the farmers.” So, without staying a word to anyone, Monroney, one of the most respected men i Congress, has gone back to the job of battling for his constituents. j} Note—Monroney comes from Ok-‘ Washington, which would repeal power of the Interior Department | to set aside Alaska lands for Indian reservations, IS | yijespread industrial disturbances if there is no “third " of wage increases, elsewhere, | duction in Federal income taxes just granted by the | ress constitutes a very material wage -ease for the average family? | Under the terms of this tax reduction, “take-home pay"-—which, after The country learned the gangster-ridden about | ska Newspapers, 1411 | This does not restraints. grain subject to in the standards The on dustry itself restrictions would serve to clandestine in 1933 legislation Lands Committee the Interior De-! , or | Republican Cor or income inc erior Department preciably higher. tax setup became how much of an deductions. as the main ob- of the Territory nothing else can happens to be a i | who works. its struggle for a e increases, in that tion but actually others, especially t can no more be be eliminated by incre the forces calling Congress quiescent. ‘Their | nomics.

Came elections and the oil lobby tried to get re- venge, but the people of Oklahoma City voted for Monroney's courage even though they didn't all agree with him. DEAD MAN'S STORY Dead men tell no tales. But be- fore George Polk, the American news commentator, was murdered in Greece, he wrote Drew Pearson some dynamite-laden letters which may touch the fuse to the long- smouldering situation in Greece. Read another installment of a dead | newspaperman’s story in Drew Pearson’s next column | LEWIS' CAPTIVE SENATOR John L. Lewis has sometimes be- rated the big steel companies for having “captive” coal mines, but it looks as i1 John now had a | “captive” Senator—namely, Eugene Millikin of Colorado. For months Millikin has been blocking Senate confirmation of Dr. James Boyd as chief of the Bureau of Mines, due to the fact that John L. Lewis is opposed. Boyd was former dean of the Col- orado School of Mines and cleared | with Millikin before his appoint- ment. The Interior Department phoned Millikin, asked if he object- ‘ed to Boyd—they come from the | same state and Millikin said 0. K | That, however, was before the Colorado Republican knew John L. Lewis was opposed. Lewis named the last director of the Bureau of Mines, Dr. R. R. Sayers, also had his own brother planted in- side the Bureau at a juicy salary until Secretary of the Interior Krug cleaned them both out. But now with Senator Millikin's help Lewis wants his control back again. Note—Dr. Boyd, who has several children, has been patriotically serving the Government without pay since last summer. Lewis hopes he will soon starve out. TYDING'S BROTHER-IN-LAW When Senator Tydings of Mary- land, Democrat, rose on the Sen- | ate floor to oppose the confirma- tion of Oklahoma’s Jess Larson for the thankless job of War Assets Administrator, he claimed he had absolutely no personal interest in‘ the matter.
