It proves that he knows them. It does not prove that he agrees with them, likes them, supports them, or that he hates Jews. Never- iC theless, the lawyer can make quite a situation out of that, embarrass- ing his opponent’s client, partic- uuarly if he has many Jewish friends. Congressional committees go in for this sort of thing so much ‘*hat it has become accepted prac- tise. The extraneous questions and answers do not help the com-| mittee to draw up legislation, which is why they exist. It is done to help one group smear an- other. It is an instrument of pol- itical and social purge. Yet, when Senator Hickenlooper made His charges against the atomic energy commission and could not prove them without giving away national secrets, he was ridiculed. Then Klaus Fuchs was arrested and con- fessed and Gold, Slack and Green- glass were arrested.. Hickenlooper was proved to be correct. Yet, it was Hickenlooper, not the spies, who were smeared.

The trio will be spared some of the difficulties of the 1949 work at Herbert. Then, the group stayed in the Satko cabin and had a strenu- ous two-mile hike through dense underbrush to reach the field loca- tion. Thanks to the cooperation of the U.S. Forest Service, the scientists will cross from the south, which is easy of access, at a point well up the Herbert River, almost opposite their work site. Lawrence considers that, of all the glaciers surveyed, Herbert is the most promising for providing further detailed information. Men- denhall has been especially import- ant for working out exact tech- niques. The three-week intensive study of the three glaciers is part of the JIRP research sponsored by the American Geographical Society. That organization is co-sponsor of the three-week work which Law- rence will undertake August 1. The Lawrences and Livingston will be joined by W. O. Field and his daughter, Diana, for the Glacier Bay expedition. Field, who heads the A.G.S. De- partment of Exploration and Field Research, was here on similar work last year.

Alder greatly stimulates the growth of other plants growing nearby, a cir- cumstance which will be studied in detail. For this trip, the scientists have chartered the vessel Gallivanter of Ketchikan, a former Coast Guard boat owned by M. J. Bucey and skippered by Frank Larson. This expedition is sponsored by the Arctic Institute of Northj America, the American Philosop- hical Society, the University of Minnesota Graduate School and| the American Geographical Society.

At the higher level, research will attempt to explain great glacial per- jods. Lawrence believes they are re- lated to changes in the sun’s action, rather than anything which hap-‘ pens on the earth by itself. KEiTH 6. WILDES 1§ AGAIN WINNER OF | INSURANCE AWARD NEW YORK, July 15—(Special) — Special recognition has been given to Keith G. Wildes of Juneau, Al- aska, a leading member of tnej New York Life Insurance Company field force of more than 5,600 agents throughout the United States and Canada, who for the filth consecutive year has been named a winner of the National Quality Award given jointly by the Na- | writers and the Life Insurance Agency Management Association. !

Regreg tional Association of Life Under-} 70 YEARS AGO %% EmrirE B et JULY 17, 1950 4 After a nine-month absence, Frank A. Boyle, former U. S. Commis- sioner and one of the Democratic nominees for the House of Represen- tatives, returned ‘on the steamer Aleutian. Six months of his absence were spent in a world tour that took him to most of the principal countries of the globe and into many out-of-the-way places. Terminating an assignment to the port of Juneau that lasted for a decade, the U. 8. Coast Guard cutter Unalga had sailed, with Balti- more as her ultimate destination. According to her skipper, Crd. J. Al Starr, the Unalga was to go out of commissjon and be virtually rebuilt, transformed into an oil burner. Other skippers of the Unalga during ' her notable service in Alaskan waters had been Captain Brockway, Cap- tain tain Boedecker, Commander Finlay, Captain Weightman and Cap! Addison. Miss Caroline Todd, wellknown local musician, returned on the Prin- o Louise after a year's study in Boston at the New England Con- servatory of Music and the Emerson College of Oratory.
