NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldw, Seattle, Wash, FLAG DAY TOMORRCW Business Manager ’ in the current cases, we will have to give him credit for more influence than he says he deserves. That “The Alaska Steamship Company virtually controls the economy of Alaska” has been said too many times by the Governor for the phrase not to have a familiar ring when it is repeated by the At- torney General of the United States, in his statements regarding the anti-trust prosecutions. Whether it is an eventual socialization of the steamship business in Alaska that is planned by the administration, or whether it is a definite ire as re- { gards the Alaska Steamship Company that is back of the fight of Mr. Gruening against the Alaska Steam, we do not know. We do know that bills to create a Territorial Shipping Authority have been introduced in various legislatures. In 1949, it was Senate Bill 74, by Sen- | ators Rivers and McCutcheon, entitled “An Act to create a public shipping authority to be known as the Alaska Transportation Authority; to define its powers and duties, to authorize public bodies to contract with said authority, etc.” The bill died by indefinite postponement in second reading by a vote of 11 to 5. The five votes for the bill which would have put the Territory in the shipping business were Senator Edward Anderson, Nome, and Senators Huntley, Engebreth, McCutcheon and Rivers all of the Third Division. Whether the fight against Captain Lathrop is because he is an important political figure in the Territory who, with a forthright honesty has opposed statehood for Alaska because he can see no way for the taxpayers of the Territory to carry the costs of Flag Day, which will be observed tomorrow, is one of our quieter festivals. To observe it properly wet need no brilliant display of fireworks, nor impressive parades. We can best honor the Stars and Stripes by flinging it to the breeze, and by studying its glorious history. What American citizen is not thrilled at the sight of his country’s flag floating freely in the breeze? It speaks to hiza of justice, of equal oppor- tunity, of free institutions and noble philanthropy. Tomorrow, let us do homage to the' flag which is the symbol of our country and its aspirations. The Elks, one of the patriotic fraternal organiza- tions of this nation, will hold exercises mmorrow' evening at 8 o'clock in the Elks Auditorium to which the public is invited and should attend. i REPRISALS? Anyone who is even faintly familiar with the manner in which the present administration plays its game of politics will take with the usual grain of salt Governor Gruening's statement that, as far as the grand jury proceeding in Anchorage are concerned he knows “only what I read in the papers.” From the moment the first subpoenas in the “anti-trust” cases were issued, indications have been that it was all a political scheme to punish certain people who did not go along with the administration’s plans for statehood, for Territorial liquor control. or for more taxes on fisheries. “Punish the interests”—the “vested” interests, has | been the battle cry of Mr. Guening since 1941. In spite of the fact that he disclaims any influence statehood, we don’t know. We do know that back in 1941, Captain Lathrop, together with other prominent anti-administration persons were subpect to investigation for alleged lob- bying during the 1941 Session of the Legislature—an investigation instigated, there is little doubt, by Gov. Gruening, And Capt. Lathrop, who has put every penny he has made in the Territory back into business to further develop AlasKa, is now a principal in the trust-busting cases, We do not-#now that the-Anchorage indictments are the result of a planned political persecution, but we do know that they fit into the pattern of re- prisals that we in Alaska have come to expect—and to fear. Nearly ten years ago a prominent Democrat after fighting through the 1941 legislature with Gov. Gruening said this: “The only trouble with the Gov- ernor is that you can be 99 per cent for him and one per cent against him — and he will be 100 per cent against you.” There are a lot of people who are paying for being 1 per cent against Gov. Gruening, whose modesty as regards his influence cannot be taken too seriously. The citizen who keeps asking, with reference to things the government spends money for, “Who's going to pay for all this?” could find a partial answer by looking in the mirror. Remember the good old days when a lot of people thought the government would go broke distributing free garden seeds and messing around with Muscle Shoals? year and then su The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) .(u sue, actually dicted some of hi actly the date that Congressman |nection with the Wood ceased to be chairman.

Even the greenest congressman knows that it is illegal for a con- gressman to take a fee in any case against the government; nor is his law office supposed to take such a fee if the congressman is in any way involved. Most congressmen separate them- selves from their law offices as soon as they are elected, as for instance, Senator McMahon of Con- necticut. However, Wood's law partner sits right in the congress- man’s office, drawing a $7,022 sal-1 ary from the taxpayers.
