NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Porth Avenue Bldg., Seaitle, Wash. v Tuesday, August 8, 1950 A SINCERE REQUEST ‘Whatever out of Mark Jensen's request for a grand jury investigation into the Palmer air- port deal, no one can doubt his sincerity in making the request Nor can anyone doubt the sincere interest of the Fairbanks News-Miner in bringing the story be-; fore the public. The News-Miner has spent time and | money in following up the Palmer airport deal, a transaction which it considers of questionable legality.! As long as legislators and an interested press will investigate matters of public interest which they | consider have been improperly handled by public em- | comes ~ ' THE DAILY ALASEA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA The District Attorney of the First Division says that any action should be brought in the Third Division “pecause the Third Division is the situs ‘ol the! transaction inyolved.” | Just to satisfy our curiosity, wouldn't the same reason apply to many of the so-called anti-trust cases that were considered recently by the Third Division grand jury? The site, or situs, of many of the alleged violations in the cases involved was not the Third Division. Commies and the (Washington Post) Almost without opposition, the National Education | Association changed its by-laws last week so as to exclude from its membership any Communist or any | member of a subversive organization. The action ls" indicative of the temper of the American people, edu- cators no less than others. Undoubtedly the teachers who voted by secret ballot for this change are aware | of the difficulties that may arise in identifying “sub- versives.” They must also have been reluctant to san tion any practice that might result in the “branding” of teachers. But these reasons for restraint were overshadowed in the minds of the great majority by the danger of allowing Communist propagandists to‘ function in our free schools. | The NEA was saved from the unpleasant duty | of expelling the New York City Teachers Union by its withdrawal from the organization. The Teachers Un- jon had previously been thown out of the CIO and various teacher associations for alleged communistic leanings, and its presence in the NEA “was a source of embarrassment which could not longer be endured. The elementary fact is that no individual or organi- zation that is bound by a “party line” has any place in the American tchool system. The public schools are a bulwark of freedom, and they must not be per- mitted in any degree to fall under the influence of those who seek to take advantage of freedom in order to destroy it. | To our way of thinking, the National Education Association has set a pattern that may well be fol- lowed by other educational groups. Teachers who’ naturally resent being asked to sign non-Communist oaths or declarations may help clear the atmosphere | by driving from their own organizations the occasional | )iosmw propaganist who may be masquerading as a teacher. This is not a pleasant task. It will go against the grain of many teachers. But so long as a center of world power is attempting to destroy our freedom by infiltration, it is a necesary task.

Maverick Jr., is opposed by Frates S. Seeligson, aged 24, sclonl of one of the wealthiest oil fam- ilies in Texas. The other day, Seeligson Sr, came to Maverick Sr., and urged that young Maver- ick withdraw from the race. “My boy is wealthy and therefore wlllI be an honest legislator,” said the elder Seeligson. “Furthermore your boy will ke drafted, and my boy won't.” Young Maverick re-} fused to budge. He has already served four years in the Marines in the South Pacific and will serve again if nceded . . . Meanwhile the Seeligson family is spending an es- timated $25,000 to elect its scion, though a lot of veterans are chip-; ping in vountarily to help young Maverick. Maury Asiatic U. N. President—General MacArthur has sent Philippine General Carlos Romulo, now pres- ident of the United Nations Assem- ! bly, a cable addressed “Dear Carlos” which states: “We all watched with so much pride and enthusiasm your ! great efforts of the past two years in the ficlds of diplomacy and statesmanship. But now the guns have begun to speak. While know it cannot be, I would feel a sense of comfort to have you at my right hand again.” . . This should further clinch the idea of having Gen. Romulo go to Korea as part of the U. N. command in order to make Asiatics realize ours is not a white man’s imperialistic invasion.
