Chapman Charges Asked about charges by Senator Schoeppel (R-Kans.) that Secretary of the nterior Oscar Chapman had | once belonged to Communist front | organizations, the President said| Chapman at the moment was re- plying to a Senate committee. He added when the Cabinet officer i fore the Senate if it comes to him | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA ACTION ON STATEHOOD UNCERTAIN (Continued from Page 1) | | proved both statehood bills, sald he would urge the policy committee |to clear the way for action on| them, One possibility under discussion is bringing the bills up but po pone a vote until after Congress returns—which many members be- |lieve will be shortly after the No- | vember elections. Should action be delayed until |after the new Congress meets next | January, the bills would have to | start all over again. | Southern opposition to the state- | hood bills is understood to stem in ipart from the southerners’ belief | that senators from Alaska and Ha- ‘wnn would support civil rights | measures. | So far the Dixie forces have been | successful in blocking passage of | President Truman’s civil rights pro- gram. BILLS PUT ON LIST WASHINGTON, Sept. 7—(®—The Senate Democratic policy committee put Hawailan and Alaskan state- hood bills at the end of its must legislative list today. But talk of | a possible filibuster leaves it doubt- | ful whether a vote.can be reached on them. Senator Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic leader, told Treportess after a policy committee meeting that the Senate legislative program ‘stncks up like this: | 1. Finish up—probabiy early next | week—with the pending anti-sub- | versive legislation, | 2. Call the calendar of routine | bills. 3. Act on six minor bills aga t | which some senators have raised objections. Once this is out of the way, | Lucas said he will call up House |approved statehood bills for Ha- |wail and Alaska. President man has urged their approval but there is both Republican and Dem- ocratic opposition to their passage at this time. Lucas told reporters taere had been no open threats of a filibuster against motions to take up the bills, but that he had been informed :Lhere might be ‘“lengthy” oppos- {ition to them. He said, however, he hopes to get action on them by | September 16, target date for a | congressional vacation, BLOCKING TRAFFIC IS COSTLY FOR THREE MOTORISTS Car-to-car conversation on a sive and chain-driving is not cheap, either, three drivers have just learned via the U. S. Commissioner’s Court. Three fines totaling $150 resulted !from a pile-up of three vehicles Labor Day on the Douglas bridge. According to Highway Patrol Sgt. John Monagle, who signed the through the charges will be ex- ploded into little bits like many others like it made before. Taft’s Brain Talk Asked for comment on a state- ment by Senator Taft (R-Ohio) that the administration lacked brains to carry on in the present emergency, the President tersely replied that he (Mr. Truman) is not running for office in Ohio. Taft is now campaigning for re- election. The President refused to discuss the shooting down of a Russlan plane off Korea. He said the UN is handling that because he said it was a UN plane that did the shooting down. He also declined to discuss a proposal for rearming” of western Germany on the grounds that is a matter up for consideration by the foreign and defense ministers of the western powers.

Burford Co. “Our Doorstep Is Worn by Satisfied Customers” PRESIDENT APOLOGIZES TO MARINES (Continued from Page 1) retary of Defense Johnson during ] the Marine convention. Walks In With Grin Mr. Truman walked into the crowd- ed room with a broad grin on hls‘ face. He kept that grin until he started speaking: He expressed hope the Marine | League—an organization of former Marines—would support him in his | efforts to “get peace in the world.” | The ex-Marines applauded vigorous- ly. Visit Prepared There was no show in the conven- tion hall of the bitterness engender- ed by Mr. Truman's original cracks about the Marines. The Commandant of the League, Clay Nixon, had prepared the way for the President’s visit with a lit- tle speech. Nixon told his comrades the “mat- ters discussed yesterday are at an end.” He said the President was coming to the meeting and told them, “we will expect you to demean yourselves as Marines and Americans.” A bugler sounded attention as the President walked grinningly up to the speaker’s platform. He was ap- plauded again when he was intro- duced to the meeting by Gen. Cli ton Cates, Commandant of the Mar- ine Corps. * Cates said, “we are gratified to {have the President of the United States with us.” Then he added: “We in the Marine Corps admire courage, especially personal cour- age.” “CROW” FOR LUNCH WASHINGTON, Sept. 7— (# — Marine League delegates, in good humor from President Truman's ap- ology for his cracks about their ser- | vice, were passing this gag around convention headquarters: “What's for lunch today, crow?” OTICE TO DOUGLAS TAXPAYERS The third and final meeting of the Board of Equalization will be on Monday night, Sept. 11, 1950 at 7:30 p.m, instead of Sept. 8, 1950.
