NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Yourth Avenue Bldg., Beattle, Wash. STATEHOOD PROBLEM The Los Angeles Times recently printed an article indicating that a certain Los Angeles civic body en- dorsed statehood for Alaska. This was probably in- tended as a friendly act, taken without investigation of the issue. Anyway, a former Alaskan, now residing in Holly- wood, sent the following communication to the Times, which is worth reading: The curse of FDR financial idocy still infatuates our people. Voters are persuaded by demagogues that they can have something for nothing, by voting sums of money to themselves. The present meager resources of Alaska are already taxed to death by the Territorial government. It is silly to think that those resources can support state- hood. Some demagogue has shouted: “Tax the vested interests.” The vested interests are the parties who pack the salmon and mine the gold of Alaska. It will be quite easy to squeeze them right out of business. Under Territorial status, Alaska is largely sup- ported by Federal funds. Remove this Federal sup- ‘port. and Alaskan schools; Indian, Aleut and Eskimo service; the farthest north university; roads; railroad, will cease to operate. 'Fisheries, mineral and timber regburces will be without management. It is impossible for 20,000 productive people to finance and administer an area one-fifth the size of the United States. Man for the an (Anchorage News) The long road back for the Republican party in Alaska appears to be beginning with the election re- cently in Juneau of Capt. A. E. Lathrop to the highly important post of national Republican committeeman from Alaska. | As everyone must know by now, it marks not only the ascension of a capable person to the office, but more important it signifies once more a solid front for what-has long been the minority force in Alaska. There has been almost from time beyond our own memory the so-called split in the Republican party in Alaska, allegedly.coming about when, Albert White, jalso a man of considerable ability, led a group away and set up an organization that, much to the dis- ) credit of the entire party, became a political machine. ! More through the benefit of geography than anything i else, Mr. White was able to set up a closely knit group | at Juneau to wield political influence as he saw it best. However, it did have a serious undermining effect on the Republican party, culminating in stark reality at the last Territorial elections when capable Repub- lican candidates went down in utter defeat before a solid front opposition party. Some power, a catalytic agent of great strength, was needed to weld the breach. Republicans of all factions realized that. There was_a man who could do it. A man who commanded the utmost respect in Alaka, a man who, more than anyone else was tired of the spoils system of the Gruening led machine in Alaska, a man who would see the operations of the government patterned after his own forthright manner of getting things done. He was Austin E. Lathrop, builder, industrialist, and supporter of everything genuinely Alaskan. So at a point in life when he should be entitled to enjoy ease and retirement, he stepped into the political picture and like magic the gulf closed and Republicans today stand solid and united, thanks to the only man in the Territory who could do it. Captain Lathrop is a fighter, as his life of sur- mounting tremendous odds in the northland will tes- | tify. Now with the Republican party solidly behind {him it is very plain that sound principles of govern- |ment which the GOP stands for—the end to waste in high place, the encouragement of free enterprise, the return to a government by the people, the un- shackling of the Territory from the hands of super- { politicians—are about to be reinstated. Warning to the reckless driver: If you aren't more careful, )ou ‘Il be the death of you yet. The Washinglon Kerr Bi Here's the inside story of how ill Battle hot potato in Wisconsin that Mc- iCnrth)‘s colleague, Alexander Wiley, Merry-6o-Round (Continued from Page One) and a half ago that the New York Congressman didn’t spend enough time in Washington. — Rooney Gets Revenge A truer remark was never made— which may be why it stung Rooney so deeply. At any rate the New York Congressman gave the CAB; chairman one of the most abusive' grillings an agency chief has ever| received at a recent closed-door | session. As the hearings started Rooney roughly ordered O'Connell not to talk about additional Civil Aeron- autics personnel, “who I know now are not going to be approved.”! “You say you know now they are not going to be approved?” ask- ed the surprised O'Connell. “Yes,” roared Rooney, “I am quite sure of that.” i , “Then it seems rather silly to be discussing anything that has already been decided,” replied the CAB chairman with a futile ges- ture. Note: Later when O'Connell ask- ed if he might ask a question to clarify a point raised during the hearings, Rooney shouted, “no.” McCdrthy Gyrations Those who have watched the gy- rations of harum-scarum Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin now believe they have tracked down the source of some of his wild state- ments, and that he is being fed by Fascist-minded Joseph Kamp, ncw under conviction for contempt of Congress. McCarthy has vacillated all the way from claiming 207 card-car- rying Communist in the State De- partment down to 57 Communists, though he has not yet been able to prove one. After making these statements, he has retreated from claiming card-carrrying Communists to “Communist sympathizers and fellow travelers.” And, after stating on the Senate floor February 20 that “I will not say anything un- der the cloak of immunity that I would not say anywhere else. And that day I will resign from the Senate,” he is now leaning over backward to protect himself against a libel suit. In fact, he even stamped advance copies of his speech sent to the Senate press gallery with the notation that he was acting “as the agent for the Senate,” in order to protect him- self against libel. A comparison of McCarthy's charges with those of Fascist Joe Kamp shows they are almost iden- tical. In case after case, McCarthy almost paraphrases charges mate by Kamp in some of his inflam- atory publications which have re- ceived the hearty endorsement of the Ku Kluz Klan. Kamp, original name Kampf, was born in Yorktown, N. Y., made sev- eral trips to Germany, and finally shipped his German-born father back to the fatherland shortly be- fore the war started. He was con- victed in 1948 for contempt of Ccengress, and this conviction was affirmed by the Court of Ap ‘m” PR {for the Kerr bill on the Repub- i Deschler, ,Halleck‘ Paul Shafer, of Michigan, supporters of the Kerr Bill manip- ulated the votes to jam it through the House of Representatives last | week. Actually, the bill was defeated on the first roll call by a vote of 179 to 173. However, just before the opt- come could be announced, Con- gressman from the southwestern states swarmed into the well of the House demanding to know how they had been recorded on the roll call. This was a delaying tactic to give supporters of sthe bill time to drum up some switch-votes and to snatch victory from defeat in the very close balloting. Meanwhile, Rep. Charles Hal- leck, of Indiana, who led the fight side, also appeared in the well. Halleck asked Lewis House Parliamentarian, who was standing behind the tally clerk: “What's the score, Lew?” Before Deschler could answer, Speaker Rayburn, who was presid- ing, informed Halleck that two more votes were needed if the bill was to be saved from defeat. In other words, it was up to Halleck to produce two switch-votes on the Republican side. How well he succeeded may be attested by the fact that not two but three Republicans, who had voted against the Kerr Bill, soon appeared in the House well and in- formed Rayburn that they would like to change their vote and be recorded as for the bill. The three Republicans were Earl Wilson, of Indiana, a protege of lican House and Henry Latham, of New York.

C., for Juneau. Flory left here early in February to confer with the Secretary of Agriculture and Forest Service officials on Alaskan matters. s Fifty persons, including Washington State officers, Seattle Chamber of Commerce members and Alaskan officials, were expected to make a motor caravan tour from Vancouver to Hazelton next June. They were to cover the stretch of completed road that will eventually form a section 5f the Pacific-Yukon Highway if that route becomes an actuality.! This word was brought home by Major Malcolm Elliott, President of the | Alaska Road Commission, who returned from Seattle. The Northland, Capt. Leonard Williams, arrived from Seattle withl‘ the following passengers for Juneau: Mr. and Mrs. William Morris, Wwilliam Fromholtz and Wendell Dawson. Twenty-five thousand pounds of halibut sold here at prices of frdm 81 and 6 to 10% and 6% cents. A baby boy was born at St. Ann's Hospital April 5, to Mrs. Lillian Bonner of Douglas. Mother and son were doing nicely. ' ‘The Margnita, Capt. Severin Swanson, which had been in Ketchikan for repairs to a damaged hull, was to leave here on schedule on her next sailing date for Sitka, April 10. The Northland, after loading 30,000 feet of lumber at the local saw- mill for the Northwest Spruce Co., of Seattle, sailed south with three; passengers from Juneau. Mrs. White was going to Seattle; W. G.| Strench to Ketchikan and J. E. Boyle to Petersburg. H ‘Weather: High, 42; low, 29; fair.
