NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 vorth Avenue Bldg.. Beattle, Wash, GOOD WILL GESTURE A proclamation has been issued by Acting Gov- ernor Lew M. Williams urging the people of Alaska to observe a new week. Sponsored by Kiwanis International the week of April 24 to 30 has been designated a United States- Canada Good Will Week. It is an occasion to draw the attention of the world to the friendly relations between the United States and Canada as a striking demon- stration of the ability of democratic, freedom-loving nations to live, to work, and to progress towards lasting peace and prosperity. No where is there a greater example of good will than the International Boundary Line which separates Alaska from Canada. Along its many thousands of miles there are only monuments to indicate the survey and the land possessions of each. No armed guards patrol the border; no troops stand ready to march. Faith in each other and good will are its sole guardian. Alaska aspires to Statehood; to be on par with those States south of the border who extend the hand of friendship to their Canadian neighbor. Achievement of this goal for the Territory will better cement the friendly relations now existing between the countries. Admission of Alaska to the Union of States will punctuate the policy of equal status too all freedom-loving peoples as it typified by this Good Will Week observance between the United States and Canada ance of this occasion and to join with their Kiwanis clubs in suitable observances, that the friendly rela- tions between the United States and Canada may long endure. NOTED JEWISH LEADER DIES In the recent death of Stephen S. Wise, Rabbi, a | hoted Jewish leader passed on. He spent most of his |life fighting to promote American Jewry, achieve Jewish national home in Palestine. He was frequently bluntly outspoken. He had becasion several times to denounce Great Britain for her policies in Palestine. Late in 1942, as chairman of the American emer- gency committee for Zionist affairs, he declared that if Britain continued an appeasement policy toward the Moslem world by continuing to deny Jews a Pales- tine homeland, “she would have a great deal of trouble on her hands.” Before that he had attended numerous conferences in England on the subject. For several years he had what he called a “per- sonal grievance” velt, but in 1936 he forgot it and supported him to prevent creation of “a Liberty League fascism in this country like they have in Germany and Italy.” The distinguished Rabbi, the seventh in his bition, war, pacifism, sex forums, suggestive plays, censorship and cosmetics. In 1937, when New York City launched a drive to close burlesque theatres he said: “You cannot make these places decent. You might as well try to freeze Hell.” The tall, stocky, companionable rabbi, of Hungary, who gleefully described himself as the only rabbi born on St. Patrick’s Day, was known to his intimates as a humorist. Friends said that pri- vately he was “informal, boisterous, an incessant tease and practical joker.” In 1940, the Free Synagogue in New York, cele- brating his 66th birthday and his 33rd year as its head, presented him with a ring worn by the late Theodore Herzi, pioneer of Zionism. He was elected president of the American Jewish Conference in 1935. In 1936 he was president of the Zionist organization in America and chairman of the executive committee of the world Jewish Congress. Although his liberal views at times put him into conflict with orthodox Judaism, he did not seek to impose them upon those who were not in sympathy with his teachings. Rabbi Wise was known in the West. During his pastorate at Portland, Ore., Rabbi Wise was active in public affairs for the promotion of social and political reform. He drafted the Oregon law against child labor and after its enactment was named a member of the commission to enforce it. He also founded and was | first vice-president of the Oregon State Board of ;Charitles and was founder of the Oregon Prison Aid Association and People’s Forum, both of which he headed.

Beginning at the cradle, the National Institute of Diape: Ser- vices of Ney York retains a lobby- ist, Stanley Posner, at $5,000 a year. On the other end of life,| William C. Henning of Columbus, Ohio, gets $6,000 for looking after the legislative interests of the American Cemetery Association. Even the family wash gets into the lobbying act through Richard A. Tilden of Washington, D. C, who represents the clothespin man- ufacturers for $100 a day—when he works Lobbyists’ earnings also vary greatly, some working for n)thing, while others haul down eleborate sums running into five and §ix Thomas E.

C, is the self-appointed, nonpaid agent for an outfit which| he calls, “Taxpayers, US.A." i This rugged individualist in- forms Congress in his registration form that he pays all his overhead out of his own pocket, including “thinking” expenses. Burton Clark of Washington, a “retired explorer and university professor,” also is a nonpaid spokesman for interests ambiguously described as “strictly | personal.” BIG-TIME LOBBYISTS However, most of the boys who have registered since the 81st Con- gress convened last January get big folding money. The American | Medical Association employs sev- eral lobblists with five-digit in- comes, including Frank E. Wilson ($12,000 a.year plus $2,400 expen- ses) and the busband-and-wife any decision on the Italian colonies firm of Clein Whitaker and Leone Baxter Whitaker, hot-shot West Coast publicists. Together they are paid $100,000 a year to unsell Congress on national health in- Gerard D. Reilly, ex-labor De-| partment solicitor and National La- | bor Relations Board member makes over $50,000 a year lobbying against certain phases of labor legislation he used to champion. His clients include General Motors ($36,000), the Printing Industry of America ($4,800) and General Electric (sal- ary to be revealed in a later re- port to Congress). Other blue-chip lobbyists are Sherlock Davis, who gets $20,000 a year, plus a fancy expense ac- count, from U.S.-Cuban sugar in- terests, and the New York public- relations firm of Bell, Jones and | Taylor, which lobbies for a string of five-and-dime and variety stores. Bell, Jones and Taylor is paid $10,000 a year by S. H. Kress and Co., $3,000 a year by McCrory stores, plus $100 a day by these and other clients, including the G. C. Murphy Co. for keeping tab on legislation affecting retail trade. THE DIPLOMATIC CABLES The British high command has taken the highly unusual step of permitting French and Belgian factories to begin building British- type fighters—the highly secret British Vampire and Meteor mod- els. These are the only Allied planes which have any chance of keeping up with the 600-mile an hour Russian jets Stanton Griffis, the U. 8. envoy who once admired Hitler, has informed the| President he's not anxious to re- turn to the U. S. Embassy in Cairo. He has a strong ‘yen for the much-coveted job of Ambassa- dor to the Court of St. James . . . Admiral Hillenkoetter’s tour of duty is about up as chief of all Ameri- can intelligence. Truman is look- ing for a replacement . . . Free- man Matthews, U. 8. Ambassador to Sweden, heads the list of can- didates for the job of Assistant | Secretary of State in charge of Latin-American relations. The job was lirst offered to able Walter | Donnelly, Ambassador to Venezuela, but he turned it down on the ad- vice of doctors . The Italian Government has begun to modern- ize its big military base at Foggia— | even though it isn't allowed mili- tary planes under the peace treaty. The reason behind this is sim- ple: Foggia is the nearest Allied base from which American B-36's could atom-bomb Russia. Italian troops and police have posted a 24- hour-a.day guard around the air- field while the work is going on. The United Nations will put off until fafl. Dr. Herbert Evatt, the President of the Assembly, will o s pomt a United Nations commission to investigate the colonies and re- port, back next September.
