This paper will guard with zeal its right to crm-i cize our public servants as part of its duty. We might | add that on previous occasions we have found reason | to criticize this same committee, Kadow and the Washington boss of both, Assistant Secretary of Interior William E. Warne.

We give a vote of thanks to the commmittee for aiding in this work—for giving the necessary pushf organization to get housing going. The Alaska Development Bill—which is no doubt the cause of the ggmplaints to Mr. Chapman—in its disfavor with most Alaskans. We understand that Kadow and Warne disap- proved the original bill which was admittedly pater- nalistic—possibly as sincerely as did this newspaper and other newspapers in Alaska. ] We understand too, that when it was presented to; the Field Committee meeting in September—admit- tedly as it came from the hands of Interior attorneys who prepared it and without previous study on the | part of Warne or Kadow according to the latter—the | Field Committee turned it down. 1 The trip that Warne and Kadow then made | through Alaska consulting business men and Cham- bers of Commerce in an attempt to get ideas for a Development Bil] that would meet with the approval , of Alakans should refute the charges that Kadow “consults neither Territorial residents or officials.” As a result of their trip through the Territory, a | new bill has been drawn up removing, we understand, most of the objectionable features of the original bill. We are told that it will soon be released to Alaskans and we await with interest a Development Bill that Mr. Kadow says he hopes will have the approval of Alaskans. He also says that unless the Bill has Al- askan approval, it will not have his approval. We repeat, that we pride ourselves on a vigilant Certainly the Empire with its small voice will i continue to oppose Interior’s demand for immediate statehood and that opposition will continue until such time as we are convinced that Alaska, with its small population, can pay the costs of statehood.

The Washingion Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Continued from Page One) heavily on the aviiity of the B-36 to penetrate deep into Russia be- fore being detected. Flying at great spee¢ and high altitude, the Air| Force believed it could deliver the atom bomb in quantity, well before the Reds could muster an effective fighter defense. The presence of these hitherto undisclosed radar screens, therefore, will call for a thorough revamping of American strategic concepts. Note: The Siberian border is the one Russian area thus far not equipped with long-range radar sta- tions. But the Russians, believing this to be their most vulnerable area, are working at full speed to install their latest and best equip- ment across the frozen Siberian wastes. Capital News (Capsules Two trillion dollar ingome—Am- erica’s national income of $262 bil- lions annually is by far tbe highest in the history of the qorld. But it locked like small potafoes the other day, when a top government econ- omist peered into the future. This eccnomist, one of President Tru- man's council of economic advisers, estimated that if the United States national income increases in next 50 years as fast as it did between the 1870's and 1820's, the U. S. will have an annual income of two trillion dollars by the end of this century. Note to Housewives—Look for an increase in the price of pork, which dropped sharply in the last three months. One reason for the probable price increase is the re- turn to work of striking steel and coal workers, which will increase the demand for pork. As a result the Department of Agriculture has abandoned plans to support hog prices—at least for this year. Doughboys again The joint chiefs of staff have completely re- vised their defense strategy for de- fending western Europe as a result of Russia’s atomic-bomb explosion. The joint chiefs now think it will take 60 divisions instead of 30 to defend the Rhine. The reason is that, now that both sides have the atomic bomb, they don’t think eith- er side will use it, which makes the infantry twice as important as ever. Admiral Denfeld wavers—Admiral Denfeld came back to the Pentagon for a few hours recently, called on | as fleet commander. Denfeld would €| support from small business and !business's blacklist. Otherwise, both Secretary of the Navy Matthews and the new chief of naval opera- tions, Admiral Sherman. Both urged him to stay in the Navy and take a four-star assignment in Europe not answer a flat yes or mo, but seemed to be weakening. | Labor and Small Business Allies| Hitherto, business and labor have never joined political forces to back the same candidates for Congress. However, representatives of small business and organized labor are| now comparing notes on Congress- men—with an eye to working out an alliance for 1950. Surprising thing is, a check of voting records shows that the same Congressmen voted pretty much for both labor and small business. Twenty crucial bills, affecting la- bor and small business, were used as a guage by Joe Keenan, director of the AF of L's league for polit- ical education, and by George Mer- edith, national alliance of inde- pendent business. Votes on these bills showed that about 90 percent of the Congressmen who voted for small business measures also voted for labor measures and vice versa. George Meredith, a leader in this a -small business coalition, is former co; 1 of the Senate small business committee under Sen. Ken Wherry of Nebraska. However, Mer- edith joined the of L's Keenan in blacklisting his former boss. Wherry, ofice a friend of small business, had a narrow squeak in the last election, when he got no lost the financial help of big busi- ness. So Wherry's record in the 81st Congress shows that he voted; against his former friends, the lit- tle businessmen. The first on labor’s blacklist, Sen. Bob Taft of Ohio, also made small lists include the usual parade of GOP conservatives—Senators Cape- hart and Jenner of Indiana, Bricker of Ohio, Millikin of Colorado, Knowland of California, Gurney of South Dakota, etc. The only Republicans endorsed by both labor and small business so far are Senators Morse of Ore- gon and Langer of North Dakoba,‘ Congressmen Javits of New York, Hull of Wisconsin, Angell of Ore- {gon, and Lemke of North Dakota. {The list, however, is not yet com- plete. Small busipess and labor disa- greed over such Senators as Mc- Carran of Nevada, McMahon of Connecticut, and O'Mahoney of Wyoming, all of whom labor ap- proved but small business disap- proved. It is an ironical twist that Small business blacklisted O'Ma- as a trust-buster and champion of small business, but has been voting against small business.
