NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 \ourth Avenue Bldg., Beattle, Wash. iRS IN A WORD? HOW MANY LET News appeared in yesterday's Empire that G. I. insurance dividend checks would at last be forthcoming to Alaska veterans—delayed because of the long names and addresess involved! In other words, the poor, beaten-down bureaucratic tabulating machines, accustomed for years with deal- ing with WPA, PWA, CDA, CCC, and s0 on just can't take it. But somehow or other, explanation that the ma- chines can’t handle words containing more than 15 letters just doesn’t ring true. parently in the “mother country.” Now they want to tell us that there are no Smiths and Jones living in | * Alaska. Of course, we will admit, that absurdly simple names of places in the States as Tuscaloosa, Ticonderoga, Muskegon, not to forget | Dosewallips and Humptulips—that it is rather hard for one of these poor belabored machines to swallow a word so painstakingly difficult and long as Seward, for example. We can picture the poor mechanisms, at this key-breaker, upchucking yards of tabulating after handling sickened | They did all right ap- | such | tape ‘and letting go with hundreds of mechanical equi- valents of a “burp.’ So this terrible machine-mauling place-name of Seward is just too much,.we divine. and veterans living there have had to wait until it could be spelled out by hand, before their checks can go in the mails. Seward. M-m-m-m Yes, it is indeed a most tabulator-twister. Perhaps it should be changed to a more simple title, such as any city in the 48 States— for example, a nice easy one like Chattanooga. This excuse of not being able to knock out more than .15 letters make much of an axcuse, either. , Does Eek—a little joint around the Kuskokwim-— have that many letters? Any self-respecting tabulating machine, even in Washington, should be able to take that one in stride. And just what's wrong with like Ninilchik, Shismaref, Belkofski, We dare anyone to find 15 letters addresses. In fact, the Alavkagmm man himself would have to burn midnight oil to find many places in Alaska with more than 15 letters. All we can say to those kind of excuses is— Dishkakat to them and an Iditarod to those over- worked machines! resounding tonsil-and- doesn’t imple-sounding places Uyak and so on? in any of those Segregating the Indians (Ketchikan News) The All-Alaska Espicopal clergy at a final session in February passed a resolution protesting the pater- nalistic policy which is pauperizing the Indians and Eskimos by the government. The report of working missionaries claimed that Indians were being robbed of their self-respect and independence by hand-outs unwisely administered. We have the recent incident of the Executive Committee of the Alaska Native Brotherhod and Sis- terhood at Sitka objecting to the consolidation of the two school systems, preferring to apply to the bureau for loans for educational purposes. In other words, spark-plugged by Attorney James E. Cur a sort of god-father for segregation and ubun“m.\l rights,” the Executive Committee by its seeks to build a wall between Indians and \NIHH'.\ in Alaska.

That cell was or- nized to penetrate high levels of Administration and it is clear from the evidence at both Hiss trials that er Hiss was of this cell. At any rate, in 1939, Dr. J. B. Mat- thews of the Dies Committee gave to the Department of Justice the names of the members of the Ware Cell. Among those names was that of Alger Hiss. Matthews showed me the list at the time. Also in th year, Whittaker Chambers and Isaac Don Levine discussed. most of the evidence that was brought out at both Hiss trials with Adolf A. Berle, then of the State Department. Berle has testified under oath that as early as 1941, he had warned Acheson | that the loyalty of both Alger and Donald Hiss doubtful. In 1944, Berle, then security officer of me, State Department, warned Acheson | and others in the State DemartmentI that their pro-Russian policy was| wrong. The Acheson group, with Alger Hiss as Acheson's principal assistant, fought Berle, had him | transferred to Brazil and as Berle said: “That ended my diplomatic career.” Subsequent to Berle's reports on Alger Hiss, Acheson had his friend transferred from the Far Eastern Affairs Division, where he had no | business to be as he knew nothing |about the subject, to the Office ot Special Political ~ Atfairs, which Acheson ran and which had to do with all the peace efforts of the | Government. This was no place {for a man whose loyalty was in |doubt and who could have an af- filiation with a foreign government that might imperil the negotiating power of the United States. Acheson cannot plead that he did not know about Hiss; he can only |say ! he did not believe what | |he was told. But in his position, could he risk a doubtful personality as executive secretary of Dumbar- ton Oaks or as President Roose- velt's advisor at Yalta, or as secre- tary-general of the San Francisco conference setting up the United| { Nations? pl:;r’;:d ml)i(::::x-lll‘—]r(ra::x“i? :zr;mn 2):(_ Refining, . aj‘subsidiary of Stand- Pl’)n('l.pnl adjutant was Alger Hiss. iginally, talcum powder was for ard Oil of N.

(Vie) and Mrs. Manville, wellknown local residents who had been on a southern vacation, returned from Seattle. After several weeks in Seattle, Roy Rutherford, president and gen- eral manager of the Juneau Lumber Mills, reached here from Seattle. Organization of a Merchants’ Credit Association with 34 members was announced by John B. Marshall, who was to be attorney and man- ager of the new association. Headquarters were to be in the Goldstein Building where Marshall had his law offices. Marshall said, ‘The object of the association is to enable merchants, by avoiding bad debts, to hold prices down to the lowest point consistent with good quality and effi- cient service.” It was hoped that credit to the fly-by-night type of stranger could be stopped. Tony Reiss, local dairyman who had been in St. Ann’s Hospital most of a week, was able to go home. He had had a severe cold. Mrs. C. Lottsfeldt, the former Sophia Anderson of Douglas, and her baby daughter, Frances Marie, who had recently passed through enroute to their home in Tokotna, had been featured in the Seattle Sunday Time~ in both pictures and an article. The feature concerned their long trip by steamer, train, airplane and dog team. The Douglas Camp of the .Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sister- hood was to stage an exhibition of old Indian tribal dances in the A. B. Hall. Most of the participants had performed in the last tribal dances held in 1898. Special feature of the evening was to be an act entitled, “The Witch Doctor.” The Salmon Creek Road House, formerly known as John Wagner’s, was to be reopened to the public that evening by Mrs. Margaret Calla- han. Dancing was to follow the 5 o'clock chicken dinner. Mr. and Mrs. William Douglas, wellknown residents, were returning| home on the Yukon after a visit in Seattle and vicinity.
