Dangers of Strikes (Jessen’s Weekly) Alaska's future may depend upon the Defense de- decision as to its expendibility—a thought that labor unions and business should take in their disputes. It might be entirely possible that with the entire Territory’s economy broken up by strikes, that the military would decide it is expendible and withdraw On the other hand, if the disputing parties are able to get together and operate on a basis of peace and harmony, the Army, Navy and Air Forces might continue to receive increased avpropriations for !

The Sec- retar; of Air and the top generals of the Air Force ok'd the trip; but Gencra l Renfrow said no. ently this merited a metdal. General Graham— At the height of European starvation, when the U. €. A. was buying food to send to the people of Italy, General Gral.am used his inside knowledge as a White House aide to speculate in the food which we were sending to Italy. He also was rewarded by the Italian government. Generzal Vaughan—In 1946 when the Ttalian people were starving Appar- | and the American people were hold.ng themselves down to one or two slices of bread daily, Gen- eral Va 1 phoned the Agricul- ture Department demanding that American whisky distillers get a bigger grain quota at the expense of the Itzlian and European peo- ple en the Agriculture Depart- ment refused to yield, General Vaughan got nasty and claimed it was his prerogative to fix grain- liquor quotas. Vaughan also pulled various other deals which the Italian gov- ernment apparently considered mer- itoricus. He favored race track construction at the expense of vet~l, He pulled wires for| eran’s homes his friend John Maragon wher, Marazon was charged: with smug- gling. He also behaved so badly in regard to other matters that he won an official spankink from a Senate investigating committee. Therefore, on the anniyersary of the founding of the Italian repub- lic, General Vaughan was awarded the star of solidarity, as a reward for promoting friendly relations be- tween the United States and Italy. Note—An increasing number of essmen are concluding that Washington was right when nned all foreign medals to American officials. Since General Vaughan got his famed medal from Argentina, that country has received a $125,000,000 Export-Im- port Bank ‘credit.

Big Campaign Dough 1 Jack Zavral, PAN AMERICAN HAS EXTRA SECTION FOR BIG TRAFFIC LOAD To handle the large traffic load from Seattle, Pan American World Airways ran an extra section yester- day, Flight 907, usually direct to Fairbanks, making a stop here. In yesterday’s two inbound flights, Pan Am carried 45 passengers, SiX getting off at Ketchikan. South- bound, Flight 924 took 15 persons to Seattle and one passenger to An- nette Island. Arriving on 923 were Orrin Blair, Claire Folta, John Harlan, Roy Hen- drickson, Wanda Juergens and in- fant Linda; Orval Leageo, Howard Minckler, Katharine Moorhead, Lois Nicholson, Earl and Dorothy Phil- lips and Lena Schultz. Flight 907 brought William Arko, Mrs. Margaret Berry, Mrs. M. L. Brown and infant Eric; Mr. and Mrs. Allan J. Frazer, John French, Nethella Griffin, Warner H. Leo- nardo Glen Marchant, Mrs. A. Misoff and Inez Misotf; Altred Motz, Carol Ruotsala, Oneta Shurtz, Michael Van Buren, It was only a few years ago Carl Bjorustad and eight persons jthat the U. S. Senate refused to seat Vare ‘of Pennsylvania, Smith of Illinois and Newberry of Mich- igan because they spent large am- ounts or money in their primary or election campaigns. Smith of Illinois was not seated for spending $100,000. But now, in the same state, the Republican citizens finance committee, headed by ocil man Kent S. Clow, and organized largely to defeat Sen- ator Scott Lucas, brazenly annouri- ced that it was going to raise $700,000 for -the November cam- paign. . This caused GOP Congressman Charles Vursell of Salem, IlI, remark that the $700,000 would be a good investment if would pre- vent Lucas from returning to e Senats The citizen commitice’s 8700‘000. will be on top of the campaign chest raised by the Republican state committee and the Republican Na- tional Committee so that the Illi- nois election should really be roll-i ing in dough. ! Meanwhile, lethargic Senator Guy Gillette of Iowa has been ap- pointed chairman of a committee to investigate campaign expend- itures. Gillette clamored for Sen- ate investigators in Iowa when he was the object of the Roosevelt purge in 1938, but now he isn't! the eager-beaver he used to be. However, the country generally is getting fed up with the tremend- ous amounts of moey spent on‘ elections. People are getting the impression that the man with the dough can buy his way into Con- gress—not a healthy impression to prevail in a Democracy.
