NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Jouith Avenue Bide., Beattle, Wi FACES RO AD TROUBLES Now that our own Glacier Hmhwuy is to be paved | from Juneau to the Airport, naturally enter into the picture. Very recently, Vern Haugland, wellknown Asso- ciated Press writer, had an article in the AP feature service, relative to road ‘troubles, under a Washington date, which is to the point and is as follows: We know how to design and produce good high- ways but we're careless about keeping them up, Public Roads Commissioner Thomas H. MacDonald The excessively heavy truck, he adds, is the maintenance nroblem. “We are overloading our highw in their traffic volume capacity and in their structural capacity,” Mac- Donald said in an interview. “The only way to proper use of the highways is to limit axle and wheel loads. “Axle loads in excess of 18,000 pounds should not | upkeep and traffic will | ays | major | lum movements are under way in tapy | the restrictions. “Today the volume of truck times as great it in significant is the proportion trucks that carry heavy loads,” MacDonald continued The result, he said, has been a gradual increase in | damage to pavements. MacDonald said truck operators insist that high- | way damage is a technical matter, that engineers must | find a remedy, but that “this is true only to the extent that the design of roads fails to provide for loadings within the legal limits.” 3‘955'1 traffic is nearly three | as was 1930 and even more | Famil, Affair ¢Cincinnati Enquirer) British newspapers do not as a rule mix into the | private affairs of the royal family, but the other da Lord Beaverbrook's Evening Standard did, when on of its columnists suggested that the embargo on the Duchess of Windsor be lifted by her husband'’s family The columnist wrote on the assumption that th Duchess had not been received because she was a divorcee.

Just how Mr. Odlum worked his way into White House graces 1s not definitely known—but his campaign contributions may be one clue to the mystery. Furthermore, Odlum’s friends have a habit of reaching into the | government and, pulling wires to get his men appointed to key positions. For instance, Curtis Calder, head of | the giant Electric Bond and bnme (leng dominated by Odlum), has now been oifered the post of Secre- tary of the Army—which controls | the Army Engineers, who in turn control the government's big power dams, These big dams, of course vitally affect Tlectric Bond ard Share Again, Odlum forces have been maneuvering behind the scenes to have Richard Patterson, now Am- bassador to Guatemala, transterred to be -Ambassador to Argentina. Reason: Patterson is a director of one of Odlum’s tions. Odlum’'s Electric Bond and Share invested $37,000,000 in Ar- gentine utility companies. There- fore Odlum wants someone in the American Embassy in Buenos Aires to cope with President Peron, who has already taken them over SECRET AB(: TINE DEAL Incidentally, the Electric Bond and Share investments in Argen- tine were made by Odlum without the knowledge of its stockholders, who now are irate and indignant. And it's significant that in 1928 Curtis Calder wrote a chief ac- countant a confidential letter in- structing him to enter the $37,000,- 000 advanced to Odlum to buy Ar-| gentine utilities in such a way that it would be camouflaged on the company’s books. This is the man—Curtis Calder— whem President Truman and Floyd Odlum now want to make Secretary of the Army. Incidentally, Calder's letter is in the official files of! the Securities and Exchange Com- : mission and can be secured by the Armed Services Committee in 15 minutes “COMMI DX TO WALL STREETERS Also in SEC files is nificant data regarding the pow- erful gentleman who pulls wires backstage in the Truman Adminis- tration. Those files show how Od- lum paid $100,000 to Ed Hutton and $59,646.35 to David G. Baird in 1931 to get them to turn the Chatham Phenix Allied Corporation over to Odlum’s Atlas Corporaticn. Hutton was a director of Chatham Phenix, and the $100,000 he received from Odlum amounted to a “commission” to use his influence against the stockholders he was supposed to represent Intthe end, Odlum's Atlas Corp. other sig- subholding corpora- | so-called | revision of hwe ‘The of and user is being run, ates.

They got $15.31 for stock! | which had cost them $27 Not even Jay Gould or the elder P. Morgan in their lushest days ever pulled a deal like that. Again SEC records show that Od- | lum in 1930 paid secret fees to five | directors of the All America Gener- | al Corporation, thereby managing tc absorb the company into his own | | Atlas Corp. So secret were these so-called “commissions” that none | of the tive directors knew the om-‘ ers were getting paid by Atlas, and ! each thought his own persuasive | arguments were convincing the um< |ers to join Atlas. got for The SEC uses strong language in | condemning this practice, making it |appear that what Odlum paid, in less elegant language, would be call- ed bribes. The directors of All ! America secretly subsidized by Od- | |lum to vote for him and sgumsr‘ the interests of their stockholders | were: | €. Shelby Carter, $46,000; Rmh- ard B. Scandrett, $22,700; J. | Campbell, $38,500; Harold C. R)rh- ard, §77,000, and C. H. Nichols,| §16,170. As a result of this sleight-of- hand, the stockholders once again came out on the hairy end of the | dollypop. The exchange of stock | | worked out by All America’s direct- | ors with Odlum’s Atlas cost them ! a “gross loss in asset values of ap- | | proximately $470,000,” according to| the SEC. ' “However,” continues the SEC, “an aggregate of $200,370 was paid to Messrs. Carter, Scandrett, Camp- bell, Richard and Nichols as com- missions for their efforts in recom- mending exchange transfers.” POLITICS AND B-36? | This columnist, after exhaustive | | research, has come to the conclu- sion that Odlum’s financial god- | | fathering of the Truman campaign | land his atterney's fees to Defense Secretary Louis Johnson had abso- Jutely nothing to do with pul chases of the B-36 from Odlum’s | Consolidated Vultee Aircraft.
