NATIONAL REPR Avenue Bld DISCUSS TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENTS Two recent developments in the Territory have brought editorial comment by the Fairbanks News- Miner and the Anchorage News. The Empire is re- printing them without comment. On the freezing of certain Territorial funds, the News-Miner says: § The Territorial Board of Administration has froz- en $5,645,498 in appropriations voted at the last session of the Legislature. This action is the result of a grave financial crisis confronting the Gruening administration. The Territory's deficit at the end of May was the worst in its history. Present signs are that it will not get appreciably smaller in the period which lies im- mediately ahead. Announcement of the freezing of the appropria- years ago to meet a similar crisis was $1,138,000. Mem- bers of the 1947 Legislature which voted those appro- priations were the objects of smearing attacks and abuse by the Governor and his underlings in ensuing months. can say that members of the present Democratic- controlled Legislature haven't shown progress. ‘They more than quadrupled the ante. Regarding Federal Judge George W. Folta's de- !cision declaring the Special Session of the Alaska | Territorial Legislature invalid, the Anchorage News says: It was no surprise to learn that the Special Session of the Legislature was invalid—staunch anti-Governor people of Alaska could very well sa: ‘1 told you to!" The Special Session, held two weeks in advance of the regular session, has turned out as many predicted it would when Acting Governor Lew Williams called the session in behalf of his boss last December. It was a get-together at taxpayers’ expense of the Alaska Tammany boys who had planned to make an air-tight case of the Gruening program and shove it through without opposition. Fortunately, there were some men elected to the Legisiature who still believed in service to the people rather than to a political machine and an otherwise debacle was avoided. It was this group that should get credit for saving face for Alaska by insisting on re-enactment of im- portant pieces of legislation at the regular session. It was a $50,000 trial balloon that exploded. ! RELATIONSHIP Senator Bourke Hickenlooper is distressed at the ditfi’cully the Atomic Energy Commission has in get- ting and keeping top-flight personnel. A year ago the ;sanator. as chairman of the joint committee on atomic | energy, took the lead in engineering an amendment to the Atomic Energy Act of 1946. Instead of putting the program on a permanent basis, as the law required, he and his fellow Republicans extended the provi- sional arrangement for another two years. Perhaps Senator Hickenlooper doesn't see any connection between uncertain tenure and poor morale. He should. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE--JUNEAU, ALASKA & o JUNE 27 Mrs. Robert Stevenson Mrs. R. J.

We cannot ignore the terrible housing problems that ¢xist, wherever they are. I feel so strong- ly about this, I have joined with nine Republican colleagues in spon- soring legislation to ceal not only with slum clearance, but other housing problems that are igrored in the Administration’s program.” “I don't want to see another de- pression, with men leaning on shovels in relief jobs,” spoke out Welch. “One way to head it off is te begin now to provide jobs in the next few years by building homes for our lower-income people. “To provide hcemes for our peo- ple is not socialistic,” he concluded. “It's the best investment in Ameri- canism we could make.” LATIN AMERiIC. FACES SLUMP The continued downward trend of prices on the U. S. raw materials and commeodities markets is ma.klfi;; things tough for the good-neighbor pclicy throughout Latin America. The recent 7-cent drop in the price of copper alone struck a ter- rific blow to the national economy | of Chile, Peru and Mexico. On| June 15, the Anaconda Copper Co.’s | two subsidiaries in Chile anncunc+ ed an immediate one-third cut in| operaticns. Meanwhile, two, bills have been introduced in the U. 8. Congress, both sponsored by domestic copper interests; one to re-establish the| pre-war price of 14-cents per pound for Chilean copper; the other to re- store the 2-cents-a-pound tax on| all copper imports. “Approval of these measures will effectively paralyze copper produc- tion in Latin America,” said a re- cent Santiago newspaper editorial, “for world economic conditions to- day make it impossible for any in- dustry to operate on pre-war norms and returns. “Perhaps the result is what cer- tain United States copper interests seek. However, it is difficult to comprehend why the governmevt of | that country should fail to dis- courage such tactics. In case of an- | other war, the United States wiil again have sudden need of greatly increased copper supplies—and this time there may be no mining indus- try left here to stimulate.” The cacao (cocoa bean) situation | also is creating alarm, and even | near panic. Despite continued strong demand for this product in | the U. S., its wholesale market price | has slumped 16 per cent in the| past month, | Brazilian cacao interests recently scld 50,000 sacks of the bean in New York at 165 cents per pound | against the 20.3 cents paid for the last previous imports, early in May. Result of this 19 per cent slash has been consternation among cacao producers in Ecuador, the country | ‘the fight to achieve national econ- Plaza government's chief weapon in | omic recovery, promptly planned to review its projects for granting cre- dits to cacao growers. In Geneva, Joe E. Sandoval, chief | Cuban delegate to the 32nd interna- tional labor conference, asked for an immediate investigation of con- diticns in the world sugar industry. Cuba, he said, is facing black dis- aster as & result of “unjust, artifi- . cially created competition, design- ed to force sugar prices down.” | | | PERON EXPELS OPPONENTS { The inside story of how the lead- er of President Peron’s opposition | party was kicked out of the Argen- | tine Congress would be quite funny if it didn't represent another body | blow at democracy in the Americas. Last July, Peron’s stooges in the | Argentine Chamber of Deputies, who have a two-third majority, vot- |ed to expel radical party leader Ernesto Sammartino on the grounds that he had “defamed” the dictator. With his parliamentary immunity | removed, Sammartino was the chased by the federal cops—but es- caped to Uruguay, where he has I been ever since. Last month the s¢cond opposition | leader was given the bum’s rush. This time Sammartino’s successor, Agustin Rodriguez Araya, was ex- pelled from Congress on instructions from Dona Evita Person who more | majority-minority basis—107-42—to threw Rodriguez out, approved by | the same margin a motion to in- struct the Attorney General to in- stitute criminal libel proceedings | against the ex-deputy. Thereupon tne Argentine Foreign Ministry advised the Uruguayan Embassy that Rodriguez Araya was subject to arrest and consequently “not entitled to asylum.” Less than an hour later, however, word came frem Montevideo that Uruguayan President Batlle would insist on a safe conduct for the political retu- gee. Seeing their bluff called, the tough-talking Peronistas hastily backed down. A communigue issu- ed by the Foreign Ministry called the whole thing a “misundertand- ing,” said that Rodriguez Araya could “remain in Argentina or leave, as a free man.” The latter promptly made his choice and flew to Montevideo. The government-owned press next morning ridiculed the entire affair as a “comic opera.” Evita's per- onal mouthpiece, “Democracia,” commented: “Dramatic critics would have a !'hard time deciding whether Rodri- guez Araya or Uruguayan Ambass- ador MacEachen is the better com- edian.” More impartial cbservers inclin- ed toward the opinion that the laugh, if any, was strictly on Peron | have been partly responsible for a and more is becoming the real boss of Argentine politics. Like Sammartino, Rodriguez Ara- va never hestitated to name names, facts and figures when attacking the administration on the Chamber floor. Nevertheless, Person himself & Co. The total implications of this new affront to democratic pro- cedure, however, tended to over- shadow its humorous side. 191N, 170UTON | PACIFIC NORTHERN Pacific Nori:ern Airiines week- end {lights carried 36 passengers with 19 in and 17 out as follows: From Anchorage: R.
