PAGE FOUR Daily Alaska Empire Published every evening except Sunday by the that the Interior Department—Division of Territories and Island Possessions, in fact—has published facts upon which forecast for the Territory can be based. Senator Thomas said: “I have covered Alaska and I would like to have somebody tell me what we can look forward to in Alaska.” Davis might easily have handed him the Interior Department’s booklet entitled “Postwar in Alaska,” or have directed him to recall statements made by Secretary of the Interior Julius Krug. After all, part of Alaska’s representation to the Nation's capitol—and a good part of it—is Interior Department officials. If that department’s Director of Territories can’t remember more than a furry fact | about Alaska’s resources and its future—and in front i of important Senate committee—heaven help the Ter- i ritory of Alaska.

Johnson could have met Congressional demands for economy. He could have resorted to grave pronouncements about the weakness of our military establisnment as now constitued. With a | few well-timed releases of information about Russia’s preparedness for war and our unpreparedness in com- | parison he could have made a case for unfettered} i military spending. The secretary, in other words, was | ! better situated than any other cabinet officer to win { public support for leaving his budget untouched. But Louis Johnson didn't beg off. Instead he has announced plans to loop 138,000 civilian employees sent out by Associated Press Friday, Thomas said:|from the armed services’ pay rolls.

WINCHELL RESCUES of testimony.” In a vote on Donnell’s proposal for more hearings, four other Sen- aters sided with him—Taft o Ohio, Pepper of Florida, Hill of Alabama, and Withers of Kentucky. Three Senators sided with Humph- rey—and for FEPC—Thomas of Utah, Necly of West Virginia, and Murray Montana But Chaly- man Thomas pulled two proxies out of the bag from Morse of Or n, and Douglas of Illinois—for FEPC. This gave Humphrey and Thomas a one-vote majority—for a moment Then Donnell triumpt ed out a letter from Smith of New Jersey, authorizing Donnell {0 vote for him and trusting to Don- nell’s “infinite wisdom.” Donnell raised a gquestion, however, on how the proxy should be applied. “Don't forget that you are em- powered with ‘ipfinite wisdom,’” chidded Hill. “You can't.make a mistake.” Finally it was agreed by an 11-1 vote to discharge the bill without a recommendation either for against it.
