NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Poirth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. v Monday, August 14, 1950 MAKING IT EASY How easy our military public relations people make it for the enemy to find out things! In his recently published book, “Behind Closed Doors,” Adm. Ellis M. Zacharias points out that our newspapers and magazines carry quantities of information which in a country like Russia, for instance, would be re- garded as state secrets. Here we make public such information, even when military security is involved. A case in point is the announcement in the newspapers from official sources that there are plans afoot to move the Pentagon establishment from Wash- ington to Camp Ritchie, Maryland. It seems hardly likely that a move of that magnitude could be kept a* Information about it might be expected to out sooner or later. The Pentagon, nevertheless, is a military head- quarters. In times of war military headquarters become important targets. We are not yet at war, it is true, but we are making preparations for war which might come at any time. It strikes us as an un- ‘m it) when the n | venes. secret leak The Washington Merry-Go-Round | ceeded by New e Chajrman William Whit- | tington of Mississippi, who is re- | tiring from Congress, will be sut- * YHE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, "neces.sary breach of military security first to announce | the transfer of a potential target, and second, to name its new location. | There is a possibility, of course, that the an- | nouncement may be a blind, but judging from the way | that our military authorities have been publicizing our strength in Korea, identifying units in action there and those on the way, we cannot help but feel that | they are determined to make it easy and convenient as possible for the potential enemy to find out what we are up to. STUDY IN BLACK Tt wouid be pleasant to be able to forget all about Joseph McCarthy, whom, unfortunately, one has to call senator. But it is instructive to keep one ear cocked for his further utterances, because he so clearly exemplifies the American form of the “big lie” tech- nique. His latest move !s n beauty. He fell flat on his face in trying to prove Oowen Lattimore to be a Communist spy. But he keeps coming back for more. Lattimore had to sell his summer home in Ver- mont in order to get money to defend himself against McCarthy’s charges. Now McCarthy is trying to use this fact as proof of Lattimore’s guilt. He says the purchasers of Lattimore’s farm are Communists! First smear a man, make it necessary for him to liquidate his savings in order to clear himself, then use his liquidation as proof of your smear. This is one of the little embroideries on the edge of the big lie. Ripe for Development (Seattle Times) Residents of the Puget Sound section commonly think of “the Pacific Northwest” as comprising the States of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and western Montana. Sometimes they link this “Pacific North- west” with Alaska in speaking of regional interests. The Nation's Business, published by the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States, in its August issue, speaks of a broader Pacific Northwest — one which slso takes in the Canadian territory lying be- tween Washington and Alaska and the wheatlands fmmediately east of the Rocky Mountain. In this vast t 2,000,000 square miles there are fewer than with considerbly more than and Brit- area of 7,000,000 people today, haif of this number in ‘Washington, Oregon ish Columbia. Truly it is an empire still ripe for development with interests, economics and otherwise, reaching across international borders as well as state and pro- vincial lines. In the years just ahead, much more thought will Le paid to this concept of a broadened region. SRITIE) & (RS sales rose sharply as many con- struction workers established resi- dence. That year license sales reached 10986; the next year jumped to 16,276. The trend in fur farm licenses ext Congress con= York Democrat (Continued from Page One) inations. These include Switze: eral Court. “You will suffer an embarrassing defeat if you go through with this,” warned £:2nate majority leader Scott Lucas of lllinois. “There isn't the slightest chance of the Senate con- firminz any of the four nomin- ations. I strongly suggest that you withdraw them.” Lucas pointed out it was useless to buck the long-standing Senate “tradition” of never approving a nomince who is objectionable to 2 senator from the same state. Hutchinson was opposed by Vir- ginia’s Sen. Harry Byrd, while Sen. Guy Gillette of Towa objected to Switzer. “I'm s0; I can't accept your recommendation, Scott,” replied Truman. “But I made those nom- inatiors and I intend to stand back of them—all of them. They dre good men, well qualified for the positions to which I have named them.’ “That may be true, but you'll never get them through the Sen- ate,” countered Lucas. The Illinois- an then reminded the President that he (Truman) had voted ag- ainst Judge Floyd Roberts of Vir- ginia in a similar case when he was a member of the Senaete in 1939. Roberts also was. opposed by Byrd. “Yes, I remember that,” retorted Truman, without batting an eye. “And if I were in the Senate now I would do the same thing.” Note—The other two Truman ap- pointees, turned down by the Sen- ate, were Neil Andrews for north- ern Georgia Federal Judge and Frank Hook of Michigan for the Motor Carrier Claims Commission. “‘Home-Front” Blacklist All patriotic Americans are dis- gusted with the greedy hoarders and profiteers who read the head- lines about American boys dying in Korea, then rush to the stores to stock up on scarce goods or push up prices to cash in on the crisis As our part to combat this un- Americanism, we wish to use this space to alert public opinion ag- ainst me-firsters. We urge decent Americans in every community to organize “home front” committees to campaign against local hoarders, profiteers and rent gougers.

C. police lieutenant, to (Brewster) from an alleged “shadow,” ask Shimon’s as- sistants on this case. Shimon never once told his confederates about a “shadow” on Brewster, which any good cop normally would do if he he was hired to protect a U. S. senator. Instead, Shimon ordered his aides to spend all their time tapping the wires of Howard Hughes, the TWA official then un- der investigation by Brewster. ] Atomic Submarine While world attention is fcoused on the U. S.-Russian scramble to perfect the first hydrogen bomb, the secret race to build an atomic submarine may prove to be even more important. Here's the way one atomic expert put the prob- lem: “This race to build the atomic- powered sub is the most important| task now confronting the Dem- ocracies. If the Russians get it first, we might as well throw in the towel.” He exrlained that “an atomic sub will be able to stay under water for days, traveling at close to 30 miles per hour. One sub will be able to destroy.a whole convoy. Since the A-sub will travel as fast as surface sub chasers, it would be virtually impossible to box it in for the kill.” Note—atomic scientists are highly optimistic over our progress in tfe A-sub field. They are confident we're ahead of Russia and will stayl in the lead. HUNTING, FISHING LICENSE SALES HIT NEW HIGH Almost as many hunting and fishing licenses were sold from Jan- uary to April this year as were’ sold in all of 1949, Fish and Wildlife officials reyealed today. Another spurt in sales is taking place now as hunters aree preparing for the opening of the sheep and goat sea- son August 20. A check of all types of licenses sold from 1926 shows an increase from 2,488 sold that year to 29,449 sold in 1949 and 28,779 to April 1 of this year. The first peak in! sales Was_ in 1028, followed by al drop during depression years. In| 1935 license sales rose steadily until | 1939 when they leveled off for the | following three years. A sharp ¢ip occurred in 1942 when hunters and trappers went to war, In 1!‘4‘13| | was upward from 1926 when 262 were sold to a high of 476 in 1930 followed by a steady decrease to 48 in 1949. There were 174 licensed resident fur dealers in 1926; 494 in 1929 and 320 last year. In 1944 resident and- non-resident sport fishing licenses were made available. That year 1603 were sold and last year the sales rose i to 7,501 with 5316 of that number being non-resident sport fishing lic- enses, There were 42 registered guides in 1926; 170 in 1948 and 142 in 1949, Alien special hunting licenses climbed from 45 in 1926 to 127 in 1928. Only nine were issued last year. Non-resident hunting licenses rose from 49 in 1926 to a high of 485 in 1948 after a sharp drop dur- ing the war years. Only 386 wde issued last year. A resident sport Nshing license costs $1; non-resident sport fishing $2.50; resident hunting and fishing, $2; resident hunting, fishing and trapping, $3; non-resident fishing and game bird hunting, $10; non- resident-hunting, trapping and fish- ing, $50; alien special, $100. In the Juneau area licenses are sold in room 218 of the Federal Building, Juneau-Young Hardware, Thomas Hardware, Dean Goodwin’s on the Glacier Highway and at Val Poor's drug store in Douglas.

NEW OFFICE FOR TERRITORIES SET UPBY INTERIOR | WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 — (P —} Secretary of the Interior Chapman set up a new office of Territories | in the Interior Departmen today. | At the same time he abolished the | old division of Territories and Island | Possessions, and transferred division | officials, as one group, to the new| office. Chapman said the action is in line with recommendations under President Truman’s reorganization plan No. 3. It places the Territories organi- zation on a par with the Depart- ment’s operating bureaus, thus giv- ing it more prestige and indepen- dence and a bit more responsibjlity than before. This is largely accomplished by a redefinition of duties. Top officials of the new unit are: James P. Davis, director; Dan H. Wheeler, assistant director; Irwin W. Silverman, chief counsel; Theo- dore W. Taylor, administrative offi- cer; Joseph T. Flakne, chief Alaska division; Mason Barr, chief, Carib- bean Division; Emil Sady, chief, Pa- cific Division. The office concerns itself with Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Vir- gin Islnds, Guam and other de- pendent areas which may come un- der the jurisdiction of the Interior Department. It also supervises operations of the | Alaska Railroad, the Alaska Road Commission, and the Federal Public Works Program in Alaska and the Virgin Islands and helps Secretary Chapman in supervising the Virgin Islands Corp., the Puerto Rican Re- construction Administration and the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corp. ® 6 0 o 0 o o o 0 TIDE TABLE AUGUST 15 High tide 2:39 a.m., 18.0 ft.
