H Because tomorrow, with our little X-marks, we can separate the men from the boys, the shoe-clurksi from the men of affairs. We've read andlistened now for days on end to man for the upper house. Same thing goes for the Delegate’s post. In the case of Treasurer Henry Roden, he has no opposition’ from either party. All of these candidates stack up pretty well in comparison to previous election years. Some are neo- phytes on the political scene, but that doesn’'t mean they shouldn't have deep consideration from us before we make that deciding “X". The fact a person never held public office before shouldn't be a deciding factor with us. After 411, each and every one of the candidates in the ring tomorrow |had to get his start sometime. Roden was strictly a tyro back in 1912. From here on, the record speaks for itself. So if we want to put a candidate back in the running again, we know who's done things the way we like to see them done and whom we can trust with the future fairs of the Territory. So turn out tomorrow with the same energy these candidates who seek your votes have shown—and give them your answer in no uncertain terms. It'll take a little time to mark down all those “X” marks—but don't begrudge a few moments to doing your job because it’s up to you who show up on the general eleetion docket this fall. Vote for the men whom you think are best for the jobs they seek. Eisenhower’s Advice (Washington Post) General Eisenhower has made it clear that he served merely as the “carpenter” rather than as the “architect” of the 13-billion-dollar military budget. Thus his assent, if it could be called an assent, to the reduction of the budget below the 15-billion-dollar budget was reluctant. At the same time, he also has made it clear that he is no jingoist. He streses the necessary dovetailing of military strength with a healthy national economy, and he emphatic lly does not stand for 70 Air Force groups. “I believe,” he said, “that you are fairly well on the line—the line between economy dnd security.” An additional outlay of 500 million dollars for Air Force procurement, anti-sub- marine and Alaskan defense would bring military " THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA APRIL 24 Harry A.

Such testimony from one of the country’s most respected military statesmen effectively answers the cries of the militarists who clamor for a garrison state to match Russia. It does not say that the present i budget is perfect, but it does say that in the main the Johnson economies have been good. What, then, of the increase General Eisenhower suggests? This news- paper already has deplored the insufficient effort being put on antisubmarine research. Likewise, we believe to individual and a better place in for offices and seats for quite a while.

Doctogs retained by Sachs have stated that he is suffering from advanced epilepsy, that the ordeal of a trial would kill him. An in- dependent doctor, however, not con- nected with the Sachs family, states that although Sachs suffers from epilepsy, a trial would not en- danger his life. He is 51 years old. All this, incidentally, came to light after the attorney from Kan- sas City was retained. Note 1.—Treasury and Justice Department officials” do not relish hastening the death of any evader. But it has almost got so that an old man or an invalid can violate the tax laws with impunity—pro- vided he can get a doctor to state that a criminal trial weuld en- danger his life. Note 2—Last January President Truman sent a message to Con- gress in which he took the laud- able position of ‘urging full and vigorous income-tax collection with prosecution of tax frauds. Prob- ably he does not realize it, but telephone calls by his assistants to the Jusfice and Treasury Depart- ments frequently nullify that mes- sage to Congress. Whe £nid That? Man's memory is short. It was only a few short years ago that many distinguished and conserva- tive Americans were praising Russ- ja as a wartime partner, and urg- ing cooperation after the war. Printed below is* what some of these Americans said. If you read their quotations while holding your hand over the nampes at the bot- tom of the column, it's doubtful if you could guess the authors. However, printed below are fhe names of the men or newspapers, by number, who made these state- ments. See how many you can guess correctly. 1. “The world situation at the present time indicates that the hopes of civilization rest on the worthy shoulders of the courageous Russian Army . The scale and grandeur of this effort marks it as the greatest military achieve- ment of all history!” 2. “The continued cooperation between the United States and Russia is so essential to future world peace that no remaining dif- ferences can be permitted to inter- fere with it” 3. “We can do business with Stalin! And that business will help our political relations with the Russians, besides . ... A tenth of the human beings of the world are on the way to higher living standards in Russia.” 4. “If Europe moves all the way to Communism, it will not be be- cause of Russian intervention, but because of the obstructionist tac- tics of die-hard reactionaries” 5. “In Russia’s fight to as a nation lies the great hope of the world for early peace.” 6. “The Russians have been con- sistently turning right, in the right direction.” . . . . “Russia is likely L ) to come out of the war the great-| FA wl l est democracy in the world.” . . . .| “Stalin is opposed to world revol- | ution and was sincere in his dis- BE DIS(USSED ION“E BY AMER.
