THAT HYDROGEN BOMB Now that President Truman has told the Atomic Energy Commission to work on the “so-called hydrogen or super bomb,” amiss. cerned about the possible development of the bomb. According to a transcribed British Information Serv- ices shortwave brondcast picked up by BIS listening post in New York, the Mail, last Tuesday, said: “The question is: Can we do anything about this new menace before it splits the world? “Even if the United States decided not to produce such bombs, this would not bind other countries. The only way out is to control the source of bomb-making materials. But Russia has always said no to this. There should be one more attempt to get her to see reason. If that failed, America would almost certainly make the hydrogen bomb. “But the Russian people should be told, by radio and every other possible means of communication de- veloped in the last war. If scientists can destroy the world, they should be able to talk to the world. Let them talk to the Russian people. That might do the trick.” STARTER TO STOPPER A Chicago dealer is selling new cars with a pay- as-you-go coin meter attached.

The present system of unequal taxation is causing men to sell their homes in Ketchikan and move Out- | side. | The “political jeker” is that the fishermen were‘ 1 told a Territorial sales taxes would be against their i best interests, then a dozen other taxes under various | names were slapped on them which amount to many times over what a sales tax would have cost. Hidden and indirect taxes are the weapons of self- j seeking politicians. | No fisherman or boat-owner, as far as we have been able to determine, objects to a fair open tax. ] but they do object to being put on “sucker-list.” In case of a Territorial-wide sales tax, a lot of the® { present hidden taxes could be eliminated Of course, it would also eliminate “political favorites” from the payroll family of one fisherman located in any Alaskan city ) is worth more to the general welfare than all the | “favorites” combined. ! Each candidate running for office should be askedl to state his views squarely on this question Does he approve the present form of taxation? If he is opposed to a Territorial-wide sales tax what has he to offer in its place? The “machine men” again will raise a great cry' about statehood, because they know everyone is for. statehood in the long run, whether we are ready er it or not, and also will ring in the old “fish trap” question and other subjects to try and draw the minds of voters away from present pressing problems | land action thereon.

He had been outside on a trip to Washington, D. C., to visit his mother, and also spent a few days in Chicago and the Pacific Northwest. The Alaska Steamship Company's freighter Tanana, Capt. Odsen, arrived at the Dupont Powder Company'’s plant with explosives, coal, oil land a large cargo of general freight for Juneau, where she was to dock later in the day. model Ford for Juneau, and two new coaches for the Alaska Railroad. The Seal, Capt. K. C. Talmage, patrol boat for the Alaska Game Commission, left with Wardens Dufresne and Jewell for a post-season patrol of Southeast Alaska. Under 1930 regulations, the taking of all fur-bearers except black bear and muskrat was illegal, according to E. M. Goddard, Assistant Executive Officer of the Commission.

Brandeis—in that each year he selected the brightest Harvard law;‘ graduates to be their law clerks. Thus a steady stream of Frank- furter proteges came to Wash-[ ington during the Hoover, Coolidge | and Harding Administrations, manyi of them remaining on. 4 In addition to this, Frankfurter] was consulted by many Republicans on government personnel. During the Hoover Administration for in- stance he was solely responsible | for the appointment of Joseph P. Cotton as Undersecretary of State, who, though a Wall Street lawyer, turned out to be one of the finest of State Department officials in two decades. Frankfurter was also responsible for picking James Craf- ton Rogers, then Dean of the Col- . orado Law School, as Assistant Se- cretary of State in the Hoover Ad- ministration. Rogers was a Repub- lican and an A-1 choice. It was during the Hoover Admin- istration also that the famed Tom Corcoran, later brain truster to FDR, got started in government. Corcoran had been sent to Wash- ington by Frankfurter as Justice Holmes' law clerk, and then joined the RFC under Eugene Meyer, a Republican. And though some peo- ple, including Frankfurter, sour- ed on Corcoran, his final impact on history, in this writer's opinion, will be on the plus side. Thomas D. Thacher, able and conservative, who served as Hoov- er's Solititor General, was also a good friend of Frankfurter's and owed his appointment partly to the controversial gentleman from Har- vard. | | Stimson Was Frankfurter Man Frankfurter was also 100 per- cent responsible for the appoint-iteges of Supreme Court ment of one of our finest elder statesmen, Henry L. Stimson, as FDR's Secretary of War. The two had served in the U. S. Attorney office in New York when they were young. Furthermore, Felix also had a finger in the pie regarding the! appointment of Republican Frank Knox to be Secretary of the Navy. though the two were not close. Robert Patterson, Stimson’s Un- dersecretary of War, and later Secretary of War, was also a 100 percent Frankfurter appointee.
