By this time both Democrat and Republican senators were almost holding their breath. . “The President called me on the phone,” said McInerny, “and said, ‘Don’t let anything stop you from sending those b------ s to jail’” The senators relaxed. The Re- -ublicans looked disappointed. But they knew if for no other reason thall because "EMdy ' Wert * ramilist with the President’s mule-drifer language, that McInerny was tell- ing the truth. Why Case Was Stopped The real story of why McInerny could not carry out the President's orders is now fairly well under- stood—namely, because OSS and FBI men searched the Amerasia office’ and Emmanuel Larsen’s apartment without a warrant, thereby violating the 4th Amend- ment. However, the slow-speaking Mc- Inerny, a Catholic, conscientious; and with the map of Ireland writ- ten all over his face, gave a graph- ic account during his first closed- door session with the senators. He told, among other things, how he had persuaded Judge James Proc- tor to hold special court on Satur- day, Sept. 29, 1945, in order to handle the Amerasia case. At first Judge Proctor had de- murred at holding court on Satur- day. But the reason for the spec- ial session, McInerny explained to senators was because one deferd- ant, Larsen, had discovered the FBI illegally entered his apartment, had filed a motion to dismiss, and McInerny feared other defendants would get wise and also move to dismiss. Therefore, he had to act fast. The chief defendant, Philip Jaffe, had hinted that he might plead “guilty.” So McInerny immediately got hold of his attorney and put across an agreement that the Just- ice Department would accept a fine if Jaffe would plead guilty. Mc- Inerny said he knew that if Jaffe's lawyer and Larsen’s lawyer had a chance to confer and Jaffe learned about the illegal search, the gov- ernment would not be able to con- vict anyone. ‘Therefore he phoned the District | of Columbia clerk of the court and asked him to withhold from (®e press Larsen’s motion to dsmiss, for fear Jaffe would hear aboui it. This was on Friday. The clerk replied that once a court paper is filed, it becomes a public record, and that three news- men were demanding the Larsen meotion already. Fortunately, only a small squib about the case appeared in the Washington Star on Friday after-| noon. By Saturday morning, how- ever, Jaffe’s attorney realized that the entire prosecution was about to collapse, and grumbled about go- ing through with his agreement to plead Jaffe “guilty.” However, he finally did so.

Numerous pairs of field glasses were turned to the place and two distinct columns of smoke were seen, making spectators believe they saw a distress signal. The seaplane Taku circled the canyon within 100 feet of the fire, but no persons could be seen. It was believed that the fire | was started by some person who failed to realize he would throw the city into such concern. In Fairbanks, representatives of 14 local and fraternal organiza- tions voted approval of the proposal to honor Col. Carl Ben Eielson through construction of a permanent memorial building on the campus of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. The cost was estimated at $100,000. Among the new graduates of Juneau High ,School, these had the following plans: Ed Mize, engineérlng at Washington State College; Fred Barragar, trade school; Harry Brandt, chemistry at Alaska Col- lege; Claire Weller, forestry at Alaska; Glenn Reeder, engineering, Alaska; John Sarvela, engineering; Henning /Berggren, drafting course; Cecilie Larsen, Normal School at Cheney; Earl Lagergren, engineering; Don Williams, commercial art, University of Oregon; Ben Messer, en- gineering, Colorado School of Mines; Winifred Carlson, business ad- | ministration at Oregone State; Viola Riendeau, Bellingham Normal and James Whaley, engineering.
