dbw was introduced by Harry PAGE SIX ' KADCW TALKS ABOUT NORTH DEVELOPMENT AT OPEN FORUM HERE “It will be a long time, with or without statehood, before Alaska | gets rid of the Federal Govern- ment,” Kenneth E. Kadow, Chair- man of the Alaska Field Committee stated Friday evening at an open forum following the regular meet- ing of the Juneau Central Labor Chuncil in the AF of L Hall. w. McCrea, President of the Council. “Your voice must be heard. That | Statehood business is important,” Mr. he felt Alaska “probably has at the moment as effective a governor as you ever have had.” In stressing his point regarding expenditures of Federal funds, the Field Committee Chairman said that two out of every three dollars primary income is from the Feder- al Government, that prior to 1941 the Federal Government was not aware of Alaska but that the re- cent war changed this. “After the war Alaska became a very important security bastion,’ Mr. Kadow said. He outlined how his office, iv conjunction with other Federal and Territorial agencies, is bringing ab- out the development hoped for by the Department of the Interior. “The burden‘of developing Alaska falls on the shoulders of the In- terior Department . . . . and my office . . as well as on the shoulders of the other offices aid- ing in this development. Those that control private capital never want to let it go and it will take large sums of federal funds to start development. I feel that the ex- penditures of such funds will at- tract private capital.” Kadow said his office estimated about 300,000 people would be need- ed to start such development. “Alaska is on a tremendous hon- eymoon with Congress” said Kadow adding that Congress feels very strongly about developing the Ter- ritory as a security bastion. He told of talking with a member of Congress who was from Tennessee. This Congressman questioned Mr Kadow concerning money for schools in the Territory stating that some people in his own state went barefoot and that there were not enough schools for them nor would they gain a great deal if such schools were built. Kadow said that as soon as he pointed out that schools for Eskimos would pre- pare them to better understand Alaska’s problems and possibly run radar screens . .. . a part of the present military program for' the Northern Alaska Coast . . . . the Congressman was in favor of great- er appropriations . . . . which were soon forthcoming. Regarding housing Mre Kadow said, “There is no reason now, il anyone needs a house, why they can’t get one either by providing the necessary 10 per cent equity or by personal labor. Housing camc first on our agenda.” In discussing Aboriginal Rights Kadow made it clear that the longer this question is left hanging the more it will cost. He pointed out that Eskimos near Barrow arc far more aware of the value of their land since oil development has been started. “I don't profest to know anything about it but i js more than an emotional prob- lem . .. it's a legal problem and i you don't get it settled now you are going to pay through the nos¢ for it later.” About 50 people attended the forum.

SOKOLSKY A SOUND BOOK Ralph de Toledano and Vchor! | Lasky have written a good book,! “Seeds of Treason,” in which is| given an excellent account of the| Hiss-Chambers tragedy. After I read that book, I understood Ll|e‘ personality of and reason for Whit- | taker Chambers. Although I have been through | mountains of material on this sub- | ject, T was so fascinated by “Seeds | of Treason” that I read it from| cover to cover, in one sitting,| through a night. The authors are| young newspapermen, students of | the problem of Communism in America, hard workers in a field of | tares and thistles. i Imagine the shock when I read a review of this book in “The New York Times Book Review” last Sun- day by one John Desmond, con- demning “Seeds of Treason” and denouncing its authors as being| guilty of “an element of irrespons- ibility.” Mr. Desmond makes this ooint: “ .. . There seems to be a basic assumption on the part of the yuthors that many, if not all, the men named before the House com- mitte were in fact connected with the Communist underground. “This reviewer is not in a posi- tion to say whether that assump- tion is correct. But the point Is that Toledano and Lasky do not know either, so far as this reviewer can learn.” What he undoubtedly means, in this ambiguous statement which does not give names, pages, Ol other leading references, is the Harold Ware Communist cell. That; cell was organized in 1934 to in filtrate the highest offices of gov- “rnment. Its membership is lsted n testimony in the trial. Messrs. de Toledano and Lasky did not have to refer to the data| gathered by the House committee on un-American activities; they needed only to use the record of the two Hiss trials, which they did. This data was in 1939 given to the Department of Justice by Dr. J. B. Matthews of the Dies committee; it was also given to Marvin McIn- tyre, Secretary to President Roos- avelt, and to A. A. Berle, Jr, As- sistant Secretary of State, in the| same year by Whittaker Chambers The Harold Ware Communist celij is, by now, amply documented. In this connection, I also call attention to the memorandum by Raymond Murphy, of the State Department placed in evidence in the Second Hiss Trial. If Mr. Desmond did mnot know that, he should not have been asked by so important a newspapel as the New York Times to write 2 review of a timely and import- ant book. Mr, Desmond seems to object tc the spee.d with which this book was prepared. Actually, to my per- sonal knowledge, they have been at work on this material for sev- eral years, long before there was @ Hiss Trial. In a worcd, Ralph de Toledano and Victor Lasky are de- voted students in the field of Com- munist infiltration everywhere. The Hiss Trials are incidental to 2 broader survey of one of America’s greatest problems—namely, her be- trayal by her own sons. This betrayal occurred not only in the State Department, but in radio, in the movies, in newspapers. For instance, the left wing of the Newspaper Guild is a straight Communist-controlled group.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA of the 14th Carrier the Guild of Stalin’s stooges. When a newspaper local is pre- valently left wing, it is like the bed of perverts in the State De- partment. In a word, the assumption, srevalent, that the State Depart- ment alone has suffered from an .nfiltration that has been going on for 30 years, is incorrect. For in- tance, the language of Marxist infiltration is to be found in text- ~ooks in schools and colleges, the uthors of which are known con- ervatives. It is a disease that preads by radiation. On the same page with Mr. Des- nond's review appears a queer ooking thing entitled “The Face Ofl Ireason,” by David Alfaro Sique- ros, who was refused a visa to this country last March when he sought to attend the Stalinist peace meeting at the Waldorf Astoria. Nobody could possibly tell whether the thing represents a seed or a sreascn. To me, it looks like a inger-painting that little girls dc} n the kindergarten to keep u:eml 50 out of greater mischief. At any rate, read “Seeds ol Treason,” by Ralph de Toledanc ind Victor Lasky, out April 3, and vublished by Funk & Wagnalls. disease of our times.
