Saturday, September 16, 1950 . WHY SO MUCH SECRECY? Right in line with the sentiment expressed by The Empire, the Ketchikan News says why the Alaska Statehood Committee has kept secret the employment of Randolph Feltus as a lobbyist is one for the books. 1t is likely most of the committee didn’t realize what | they had done, To learn that the hiring of Feltus was the result of a meeting in a smoke-filled room and a secret is no tribute to the citizenry of Alaska. Regardless of any other implications, the deal was malodorous and a reflection on the Statehood Com- mitete, and, in turn, on Alaska. It would ordinarily be assumed that the services lobbyist Feltus were to perform would be ‘of such| character that they could be subjected to public| scrutiny. After all seeking statehood is not to be identified in the same light as evaluating land at Palmer. We are told that statehood will be the key to the defense of the natfon, that ti is in keeping with the charter of the UN, that it, will give taxpaying "Amerlcam rights, privileges and freedom and so on. In view of those fine principles then, why did those in ‘¢harge of the statehodsd program find it necessary to hire a man like Feltus to prosecute the work of influéncing Congress in anything but an open manner? We think tHe Jpeople of Alaska have the right to know the purposes for which their money is being spent, dnd to whom it s Being paid. We do not impute or intend that the funds were diverted to the personal use of those handling them. We feel that, as taxpayers, we are actually the employers of Gov- ernors, Delegates and Lobbyists,»and we would like to know who our employees are and what great work they expect to do for us. We are ashamed that this phase of the Statehood program was handled as it was. It has stigmatized Alaska to the degree that our aims and desires will forever be open to question. Perhaps Governor Gruen- ing and Delegate Bartlett will try to erase the stigma, | but in the eyes of the country the hiring of Feltus will appear cheap, that Alaska’s contentions for State- hood are comparable to the lowest type of politics. The honesty of our demands for Statehood is tainted | by this secret hiring of a lobbyist. ON LOCATION ‘; The New York Times' correspondent in Belgrade | reports the Yugoslavs do not regard a general war as imminent. They are much more concerned with the progress of the five-year plan, which still has two years to run and which they hope to complete in |time. The Times’ writer sdys that he has heard less |talk of war in Belgrade, since his return from abroad, { than in any Western city he visited. | This is comforting information — if it has been correctly evaluated. There is more reason to believe that it has than it has not. Yugoslavia, being one of the hottest of the so-called “hot spots” and fre. lquenuy named as an early victim for invasion from the East, would be likely to display alarm if occasion |for it existed. Such an invasion might precipitate a |general war. However, Tito's army has been:in a state of readiness almost since the break with the Commission two years ago. Presently its excess§ man ’power is being used for the national comt.rucfinh pro- .gram rather than on defense. 1 The correspondent’s views are only urk ‘Mman’s interpretation of the situation.

Yet John- son has concealed this confusion in the Pentagon with optimistic, mis- leadi reports to the public.

Strengthening Acheson Mr. ‘Truman had planned to force: the resignation at approxi- mately. this time, ‘however, in order to have it coincide with the ing of the big three foreign min- | isters in ‘New York. This was deliberate strategy pl.lnned to strengthen Dean Acheson's hand. Johnson's eyes were on the Pac- ific and the Far East, while Athe- son considered Europe :more im-} portant., ‘And the Johmson resig- [ nation was a deliberste 'move planned to strengthen ' our Euro- pean front. In fact, at least two thentbers of the North Atlantic Pact—Great Britain and France—had been un-! happy over Johnson's leadership of European preparedness, and the British had made no bones about indicating their restlessness under the ebullient and brawny Louey. British resentment against Jol son undpubtedly dates back to Hague meeting of national defense ministers, where Johnson .deliber- ately planted a story aimed against British War Secretary John Stra- chey. Newspaper accounts from the Hague carried the story that British and.American defense min- | isters had-arranged to have con- fidential reports sent direct to Bri- | tish Defense * Minister . Emanuel | Shinwell, thereby circumventing ‘War Secretary Strachey because of his formey left-wing connection. The story was later denied. But| it developed that the original story had been planted by Johnson per- sonally with the Associated Press. In fact, the AP man sent a con- fidential memo to his office telling how Johnson personally had given him the story slapping down the British war secretary.

Six bandits had held up 40 employees and patrons and escaped with $44231. A fake hold-up call by a woman a few minutes earlier had drawn the police flying squadron to the city outskirts. Ten silver foxes aboard the motorship Pacific attracted more at- tention than the passengers from Capt. Severin Swanson. Belonging tal Dave Housel, proprietor of the Alaskan Hotel, the animals were sent: from his fur farm at Security Bay to be placed on fox ranches in the Mendenhall Valley.

The seaplane Sea Pigeon of the Pioneer Airways had arrived from Sitka and was scheduled to take Mrs. T. R. Shotter to Hoonah and J. C. Coleman to Kake. With two bull moose to show for their efforts, five local sports- men returned from a week’s hunt in the lower Taku River district. One animal, weighing an estimated 1500 pounds, was thought to be almost record size. In the party were George W. Folta, assistant U. S. District Attorney, Lance Hendrickson, Harry Sabin, Al Slagle and Phil Jolie. They had gone to Twin Glacier Camp on Dr. DeVighne's boat, the Chirikof, transferring to small river boats.
