The Washington Merry - Go-Round Bv DREW PEARSON Copyright, 1950, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) /ASHINGTON — Congressman John S. Wood of Canton, Georgia, is a scholarly, dignified’ gentleman who looks the way you expect a Congressman to look. However, irrefutable evidence is at hand that Mr. Wood has been acting the way a congressman should not act—in brief, ,taking money from the folks in his dis- trict for getting a bill passed through Congress. Here are the in the case. On Jan. 23, 1944, Ralph Stan- field of Tate, Ga., a resident of the congressman’s district, was struck by a U. S. Army truck, and seriously injured. As a result, he was entitled to damages from the truck-owner—namely, the U. S. Government; and Congressman Wood introduced a bill authorizing $10,000 compensation. While the bill was pending, the Stanfield family got its first in- timation that Congressman Wood's office expected to be paid for per- forming this service. It is, of course, the job of every congressman to introduce bills in which his constituents are inter- ested. He is paid a regular salary by the U. S. Treasury for this, and it is against the law for him to accept outside fees. In fact, such fees, +if they go into his pocket, are a penintentiary offense. However, the congressman’s then secretary, Charles Holcomb, accord- ing to a statement by Mack Stan- field, father of the injured boy, suggested that part of the $10,000 regrettable facts should be paid back to Congress- [not appealed but they are And the Senators who heard the testimony also expressed themselves as against the furtherance of In- dian Reservations. The Senators, moreover, wanted to do something concrete toward the settlement of Indian claims in Alaska, and (o do it in the statehood bill if pos- sible. Here they ran into opposition from the pro-statehood witnesses, who feared that the bill might be delayed or even defeated by such an inclusion. “I would like to see the time when the Indian reservations every- President Truman’s assertion that Russia is preparing for war stepped up Congressional efforts today to get this nation’s defenses ready for oy CRIIS, At the same time, however, two Republican Senators suggested that Mr. Truman’s blunt talk about Soviet intentions abroad may be aimed in part at minimizing public attention to the Communists-in- government charges of Senator Mc- Carthy (R-Wis) and others.

The vowe was 36 w0 28. The measure is short of the one year's extension asked by President Truman, but provides. 1. For keeping present controls, wow due to expire June 30, unti the end of the year. v 2. That after Dec. 30 cities and local communities which want tc continue controls can keep them for six months more by referen- dum or action of local governing bodies. A ‘'similar bill already has beer approved by the House Bankin¢ Committee and an early House vote is expected. Speaker Rayburn (D- Tex.) told reporters he is confident the House will pass the bill. Before the final vote, the Senate Delegate Bartlett said that the question had been debated before the House Committee. The pro- vision Senator Butler referred to, the Delegate said, was inserted merely as an acknowledgement that the statehood bill itself was not a proper vehicle for settling land matters and Indian claims. Make Your Deal Now Senator Butler: “But at the time the Territory becomes a state is the time to make your deal. For the good of the people of Alaska all such subjects should be thor- oughly covered in your contract with the Federal government when you become a state. And if you do not do it now, I will almost guarantee that you will never get it done.” Senator Ecton: “If we go ahead and grant Alaska statehood and you get the Indian reservations fast- ened upon you like a great many of our own states, instead of having fewer problems with your Indians I think you will find that you will have even more compli- cated problems.” “I agree,” said Judge Anthony J Dimond. Settlement by Suit Senator Anderson wondered why all Alaska Indian claims could not be settled by lawsuit. “We have an Indian Claims Court settling the problems of various groups who claim to own oil lands and various other things,” the Senator said. W. C. Arnold who was on the witness stand at the time, an- swered: “Senator, I do not know. I thought that seven or eight years ago when I was younger and not as wise as I am now, but we never had any luck settling it with a suit. We always win but nothing happens. The Circuit Court of Ap- peals in San Prancisco held that these rights are non-existent and that they were wiped out by the treaty of purchase. The case was still man Wood.

VOTE, SENATEAGAINST ASI SEATTLE, June 12—M-—Charges of unfair labor practice were tiled against the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc., today—only hours after the Industry opened a hiring hall for non-resident cannery workers. The charges were filed with the National Labor Relations Board by Willard Rockom, newly appointed Northwest Alaska Fisheries organ- izer for the Seafarers’ International Union (AFL). It was not believed that the ac- tion would halt hiring immediately —if ever. But whether or not it would hold up a jurisdictional elec- tion ordered today by the NLRE was problematical. Rockom charged the Industry hac signed a contract with the left- wing International Longshoremen and Warehousemen’s Union (CIO) that set up a “system of prefer- ences” in hiring that favored the ILWU over two other unions rep- resenting the workers. The charges pointed out that hir- ing had been done by individual firms in 1949 and earlier this year. Further, the charges stated that a situation has been created making it impossible to conduct a fair, elec- tion in the Industry. Meanwhile the hiring of workers in the Seattle hall continued. Walter P. Sharpe, assistant In- dustry manager, said the first workers employed were for the red salmon companies at Bristol Bay. Men hired today will go to Alaska by air next Monday or Tuesday, Sharpe said. Meanwhile, the LaMerced, a float- ing cannery, sailed yesterday for the north with 53 cannery workers The ship, operated by the Peninsule Packers, had been picketed in Lake Union during the union-manage- ment dispute. The Industry set up its own hiring hall after efforts falled between. unions and the Industry to agree on an impartial agency. GRUENING TO ATTEND GOVERNORS' (ONFAB Gov.

Chairman O’'Mahoney (D-Wyo) told reporters the committee spent mote than two hours in “construc- tive discussion” of the legislation and completed work on the first 11 of the 34 packeges of the com- mittee print of the bill. The committee will meet azain ‘Wednesday to continue work on the Hawall bill. When it completes its consideration of Hawaii statehood, O'Mahoney said, it will take up the Alaska statehood bill, also passed by the House. : O'Mahoney said he hopes that both bills can be acted upon before the end of this week. Today's session of the committee was closed to reporters and the public. O'Mahoney said there was general agreement to his amendment re- quiring that the Hawaii constitution contain an anti-Communist provi- sion denying the right to hold pub- lic office to anycne who advocates, or belongs to an organization which advocates the overthrow of the gov ernment of Hawail or the United States by force or violence. (ITY PURCHASES STAR HILL PLAYGROUND FROM SISTERS OF ST. ANN A campaign to raise funds for purchase of a vacant lot.used.as & playground ended Saturday when the deed for the property, on Sixth Street near East Street, was turned over to the city by the Sisters ot 3t. Ann. Juneau businessmen had con- ributed $1,500 toward the purchase price of $4,000 so that children liv- mg in the Star Hill community would continue to have a place tc play. The vacant lot, usea rain or shine as a basketball court, has turned out some of the finest basketbal olayers seen in Juneau, according 0 Councilman Alfred Zenger. He and E. E. Ninnis, Juneau business man, spearheaded the campaign for funds, Several weeks ago, Councilman Zenger suggested that the city con- sider purchasing the property. He said if it were sold to anyone but | the city the children in the Star Hill district would be deprived of a playground. He and Mayor Waino Hendrick- son were appointed a committee to Investigate the possibility of the city’s purchasing the property. The Sisters of St. Ann, who have allowed the children to play on the property in the past, said the prop- erty had been appraised and ite value set at $5,000. But they con- sented to let the city have it for $4,000. Future plans for the property are to tear down the building now standing on it and erect high wire fences along its lower edges to pro- tect private property, according tc Mayor Hendrickson. ‘When the motion was passed by the council calling for purchase ot she property, a clause was included which would require the city to pay back all the contributors if the city should ever dispose of the play- ground.

Three unions have. battled for contracts involving nearly 2,000 workers throughout a stormy pre- season controversy which has spas- modically tied up cannery supply movements north. The workers, employed by the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc., will be given the choice of two C.I.O.- affiliated unions, one A. F. of L. union, or no union. They are the Alaska Fish Can- nery Workers Union (AFL); Local 71, United Packinghouse Workers Union (CIO); and Local 7-C, Inter- national Longshoremen and Ware- housemen’s Union (CIO). The Food, Tobacco, Agricultural and Allied Workers Union, expelled from the CIO for alleged left-wing tendencies, formerly represented the workers. The Local 7-C group, which will have a place in the pending election, is an offshoot of the FTA group and Local 7, Farm Laborers Union. Ban “Doesn't Apply” Today's order by the NLRB Aas contrary to a Taft Hartley Lsuor Act ban on holding a second elec- tion in the Industry within 12 months. In a split decision, the Board held the ban did not apply to the Salmon Industry. The A. F. of L. union failed to gain conttol of the workers in an election last year. g The ‘majority opinion, pointing to a Taft Hartley ban against a sec- ond elestion- within the year, ruled: “It is our opinion that a valid election has not been held until the balloting has been completed.” A windup of the pending election is not expected before the middle of August, a good year afcer the com- pletion of the 1949 election. Thomas P. Granam, Jr, has stated that the election would begin this week with the balloting of workers going north. The vote will continue through the summer. BRITISH NEWSMAN GETS THE BUSINESS FROM MacARTHUR TOKYO, June 12 — (® — Frank Hawley, Tokyo correspondent for the London Times, said today he has been advised he is considered “per- sona non grata” by General Mac- Arthur’s headquarters. Persona non grata means a per- son that is not acceptable. The ranking British officer, Sir Alvary Gascorgne, was notified by MacArthur’s headquarters. There was no move to restrict Hawley’s privileges and no request for him to leave Japan. Hawley said he was told head- quarters considers his reports on Japan and the occupation “subjec- tive and not objective.” Hawley said he was advised by a MacArthur aide six months ago that the General objected to some of his dispatches because of certain “inaccuracies.” Hawley said he never has been able to determine what MacArthur deemed “inac- curate.” ‘The m‘cldenz apparently arose out of & Hawley dispatch which said a Japanese ban on demonstrations was unconstitutional and which said Japanese police had asked to return to occupation authorities the pistols given them by the Americans some time ago.
