A copy of the letter has just reached The Empire and the fact that Secretary of the Interior Chapman made the postponement of the reservation elections one of his first acts after confirmation does not de- tract from the interest attached to Mr. Bartlett’s letter of December 23. The Delegate made the following four points re- garding the reservation problem: “1. Following my first election as Delegate in Congress in 1944 I issued a public statement expressing the belief that adoption in Alaska of the reservation policy would not be suited to the best interests of the Territory, and particularly of the native people. I have had no reason since to change that belief. “2.

Even a last quarter rally failed to save the day for the Juneau femmes. The boys’ team, however, walked away from the Douglas Hi aggregation in the second game, winning by a 27- 15 score. , Capt. Peter Sevold of the halibut schooner Addington was having The work was being done by Barney Anderson at the Warner Machine Shop. In Douglas, officers were installed by Alaska Lodge No. 1, I. O. O.

Kilburn, Hans Loken, Tom Racich, Jose Wehren, Hugh McRae, Olaf Swanson, Henry Yrjana, Gus Lundell, Mike Cherovich and Rangnar Kronquist. The work barge owned by the Wiley Brothers, divers, which had | been anchored over the wreck of the steamer Islander, was reported swamped about two mile ssouth of Marmion Island light. The steamer Queen, Capt. Frank Landstrom, had left with these Juneau passengers for Seattle: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Abbott, Catherine and Lee Abbott; Mrs. A. C. Middlekauf, M. M. Walker, Mrs| W. J.

Kickback Aftermath Judges sometimes have peculiar ways of handing down impartial Justice. Many years ago, when U. S. Judge Henry A, Schweinhaut of the District of Columbia was a babe in arms, he was pushed around in his carriage by a young woman named Helen Campbell, a neighbor of the Schweinhaut family. Years later, Miss Campbell, 63, gray-haired and in need of a friend, came before Judge Schwein- bhaut, now in the prime of his life. As Secretary to Congressman Par- nell Thomas, she had been instruct- ed by Thomas to arrange for certain salary kickbacks and, as a result of carrying out orders, had beenl indicted, along with the Congress- man. But when her case came before the Judge whom Miss Campbell once wheeled in a baby carriage, he showed great compassion for the [Congressman, gave him several post- | ponements on the ground of lll] health. In doing so, the judge let; his former nurse remain under the | crushing stigma of an indictment j for one whole year, during which | she was barely able to make a liv- | ing. { Finally, another judge took the case, with less compassion for Congressman Thomas, more com- ! [passion for Miss Campbell. Judge' lexander Holtzoff refused furth- | postponements, and in the end missed the case against Miss mphell. However, due to more than one rear’s delay, Miss Campbell has lost her Civil Service standing, nnot get employment again in th government—thanks to the ostponements of the judge she once around in his baby car- | e, | Gilding The Dome | | An artisans’ row over the paint- ng of the cathedral-like interior _the Capitol Dome has become bitter that G-Boss J.

Schriber, supported by Capitol Architect David Lynn, vigorously denies this. He explains that, with Lynn’s ap- proval, he used a sprayer only on: the coffered surface of the lofty dome, where it was nece: to get into crevices and cornices which wouldn’t take a hand brush. Schriber bid an amazingly $26,000 for the job, more than $16,- 000 under the next low bidder and $37,775 under the highest of eight bidders—so the taxpayers didn't lose. The contractor attributes his low bid to the time and money sav- caffold—similar to a fire ladder topped with a platform—that whirl- ed the painters about the dome’s rotunda like men on a flying trap- eze.

Yet, as I look { from my window, I can see |hei ground where only a few months ago stood the mansion of Charles Schwab, built for all time. And a few months ago, my own mother passed to her ancestors. People and institutions, high hopes and great spirits serve their time and purpose and pass away to be mourned as they were loved-—never to be tur-‘ gotten. The sun still shines in our | memories. My own association with the New York Sun was a curious one | and bears repeating at such a mo- | ment as this. A writer must be read. And I was up in the country on my farm when it came to me, one summer's day in 1940, as 1t did recently to so many of my col- leagues on the Sun, that I had no place. T telephoned to Bill Dewart of the Sun and told him that I wanted to write for his paper. After a short conversation about the nature of my column, we agreed to start on this new career for me. I was to come to New York to arrange the terms. It was a hot summer and I delayed the trip, but I sent copy and it was printed We never talked about terms. We never had a contract. In due course, weekly checks began to arrive in the mail. We never referred to them. I was on the Sun eight with never a business con- low | Eicher’s 278 for 17. Eicher’s average hit 16.4 points per game and two other players squeezed in ahead of Conjey’s 14.3 {but one condition was that I leave ithe Sun and go to the Journal-Am- | erican. I could not leave the Sun. It had opened its doors to me when 1 was in need of sheiter. T And the Journal-American agreed that sometimes such considerations of sentiment were as valuable as ymaterial compensation. ! Provision was then made in my contract that if ever I left the Sun, or the Sun left me, the Jour-' "nal-American would have first re- fusal of my services. And the other day, the Sun left ime. Without warning or notice, I 1found myself without a forum, with- fout the familiar few inches of i friendly, usual, homely space into which I could pile my words and ideas. I had left a company of reduced income. It was a small business and perhaps it had to go in this era when politicians prattle about small business and set the stage for their destruction. And so, it will not appear any more. And it will not be possible to say proudly: “What, the Sun for sais? Sure! Five cenls on any newsstand.” No! It was not like thaf when the Sun was sold and closed down. Yet, old institutions leave in their wake a memory, an inspiration, a love. Nobody who ever worked on the Sun will forget its instinct for good English, its adherence to ac- curacy, its political independence. Nor can anyone ever associated | with its quiet and maybe old-fash- |ioned ways forget its taste for de- cency and its uncompromising pur- suit of just causes. 3 3 | It was a good association and in jwhile I was with the Sun, my col- it gpirit, it will ever remain and umn appeared in many Hearst pa- shine for those who were once of {Keats Speed, and so many others ;with whom I had formed close as- sociations.
