Telephones: ™ Vaters Played for Suckers (Ketchikan News) Isn’t it about time voters and citizens of Alaska began to realize that they were played for suckers? The answer is in the bills introduced by the Terri- | torial legislators. I While some of these bills are still pending, enough | others have been passed to show the trend of the Gruening-Democratic combination. The central idea is to slap on unnecessary, com- plicated and job- producing types in order to build up a | pelitical machine at the expense of the taxpayers and Alaskan industries. Additional boards are being created with salaries attached to each one. These will reward the faithful. Also the Governor will have control of more patronage | to hand out as an additional political Big Stick. = An attractive pre-election bait lured fishermen and others to believe that proposed taxes would hardly touch the “poor man.” The sales tax was condemned in the Democratic platform on that score. And yet bills introduced in the Legislature hits fishermen, svveecescece0eosoc e NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 vurth Avenue Bldg. Seattle, Wash. RIGHT MAKES MIGHT?

S. Secretary of State just a few days before Dean Acheson took office. | Bevin sent what amounted to a | frantic SOS to Acheson foi help to get him euough votes to! equeak by an attempted censure of British Foreizn Policy in the | House of Commons. But after Acheson helped him get the votes, Bevin, in effect, bit the hand that fed him. Here is the inside story of what happened: Just before the debate on Pules- tine, Bevin was worried sick that' the Labor Party might be defeated and have to resizn. Part of the criticism was because Britain's policy in Palestine was upsetting American relations Therefore, Bevin hit on the idea of telling Parliament that Britain and the United States had settled their differences and now agreed com- pletely on. Palestine. | Bevin actually wrote out his re- marks in advance and cabled them to the State Department January 25 to make sure Secretary Ache- son had no objection. Bevin also appealed to Acheson to issue an American statement backing up Bevin on Palestine. The State De- partment OK'd Bevin’s remarks and gave him the go-ahead—and that statement was the trump card which helped him win a vote of confidence by a margin of only ninety. Otherwise the Labor Gov- e'nment mizcht have been, defeated. However, Bevin extemporaneously inscrted some other remarks in h's speech, ‘criticizing American pol- icy. This made Acheson so irate he flatly refused to issue the sub- secuent statement on Palesting surporting Bevin. As a matter of fact, Acheson also considered pro-: testing to nevni about his Ameri- can criticism, but finally decided to forget the whole thing. - He de- cided,” however, that he would think twice before helping Bevin out of a jara again. | PROBE DODGERS' AIRFIELD It isn't often . the Government gets mixed up in big-league base- pall, but for some time the Civil Aeronautics Authority has been probing the Brooklyn Dodgers’ spring training camp at Vero Beach, Florida. % {ing paid by the Dodgers for the !their jobs, and, to some extent, the cials were being “legislated out of founded.” be interesting tc see what happens regarding civil rights. .- a let more than $5 a year is be- airfield.

RECLAMATION GRUDGE FIGHT RENEWED | One of the bitterest battles of | the 80th Congress was over Direct- or of Reclamation Mike Strauss and his California regional aide, Richard Boke, The battle finally nded by Congress taking the al- m-st unprecedented action of bar- ring them from the payroll. Backstage, this battle is raging 12in inside the Rules and Appro- priations Committees of the 81st Congress, where a coalition of cutheran Democrats and Republi- cans is ganging up to block Tru- man on reclamation. Real issue hind this battle is the 160-acre limitation on reclamation holdings in the Far West. | California’s Senator Sheridan | Downey, thought a. Democrat, led he grudge fight against Strauss and Boke. Brazenly he claimed they had administered the 160- cre limit too efficiently. Now he is pulling wires behind the scenss to block them from getting back : Oldest Bank fight has boiled down to one be- tween Truman and Downey.
