PUSICH FOR DOUGLAS MAYOR Our neighbors across the bridge are to be con- gratulated upon their good fortune in A&gain beine assured the of Mike Pusich as mayor of Douglas. Mike has spent many years and much energy in the development of the city of Douglas and has served its people long and well. For more than a score of years he has been active in civic affa He has buil up a successful business and raised a large family—all of whom live in Douglas. He served his city as Firc Chief for nearly two decades. In filing to succeed himself as mayor, an unpaid post, Pusich gives assurance to his townspeople that the improvements he has inaugurated will continue. During his term in office he has devoted himsel to the city’s progress. Street and sewer improvement have opened additional sites for construction. The establishment of the Bureau of Mines headquarters on Mayflower Island was accomplished during his administration and he has led the campaign for a small boat harbor at Douglas. The fact that he is unopposed is an endorsement services mark an absentee ballot., Ihe Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (OonflmwdE Page One) old League of Nations, However, the United States at that time, sided with Russia, and the Security Council with its veto was made all-powerful compared with the democratic General As- sembly where majority ruled. i This is what the State Depart- ment is trying to reverse in New York right now. For the American people saw what the UN could do when Russia was absent from the Security Council; also how stym- the Security Council was when returned.

Slot-Machine Malone Nevada Senator George Malone's filibuster in favor of slot machines has been put to music by Wash- ington Post reporter Al Friendly, poet-laureate of the press gallery. To the tune “Home on the Range,” Friendly = mischievously substituted these new words des- cribing good old Molly Malone's speech-making: “Oh give me a Malone ‘Where pomposities roam And ideas are fuzzy and gray. Where never is heard An intelligent word And the platitudes roam all the day.” Anti-Communist Bill Many Republicans didn't know this when they voted for the new Communist control law, but under it the Justice Department has the complete and unchallengeable pow- er to investigate such GOP Sen- ators as Taft of Ohio, Jenner of Indiana, Wherry of Nebraska and Watkins of Utah on the ground that their voting records coincide with left-wing Congressman Mar- cantonio of New York. | Who Killed Cock Robin Twice during the closing hours of Congress, Nebraska’s likeable, ir- repressible Senator Ken interrupted the Senate proceedings to deny a story in this column that he had cut the Senate crime in- vestigating committee’s appropria- tions in half. “I shall not answer Drew Pear- son. I have never answered Drew Pearson,” Wherry thundered. Then me not he proceeded to answer only once but twice in the same week. He even got Senatpr Guy Gillette of Iowa to write a letter, taking responsibility for the motion that reduced the Kefauver appropriations from $100,000 to $50,- 000. Ordinarily I don't disclose my sources. But in view of the tumult raised by Wherry, I shall make an exception and reveal who reperted that Wherry was responsible for cutting the crime appropriation. The source just happens to be— Senator Wherry, himself After the secret meeting, during which the appropriations were cut, ‘Wherry came out 1ool proud of himself. He rushed up and whisper- ed to a representative of this col- umn that he, Wherry, ad just pulled a fast one on Senator Ke- fauver of Tennessee, chairman of the Senate Crime Investigating Committee, He had been able to Wherry crime in itself. cut said, Kefauver’'s appropriations, hel| exactly in half. | Where Do We Get The §$? | Pennsylvania’s indefatigable Con- gressman Bob Rich won't be around next session to heckle colleagues with his famous question: “Where are we going to get the money?” But before retiring from the House of Representatives last week, Rich formally drafted his “last will and testament,” bequeathing this goadding question to his Con- gresman, Leoh Gavin of Oil City, Pa. So that future Congresses will still So that future Congresses will Rich bequeathed: “Being conscious of the necessity that the question, ‘where are you going to get the money?*“8HBuld not be permitted to die after my retirement from this body, I do hereby will, give and bequeath said question to my friend, the Honorable Leon Ha JGnvin, a patriot of unqugestioned ~and well-known standing, to use {daily in this body during his Con- !gressional life, and at his depart- ure, to give and bequeath it to such patriotic successor as may to him seem most appropriate and Jjust.” NATIONAL FOREST TIMBER FOR SALE Oral auction bids will be re- ceived by the Forest Service in the office of the Regional Forester, Room 402, Federal and Territorial Building, Juneau, Alaska, begin- ning at 2 p.m. October 30, 1950, for all the merchantable dead timber, standing or down, and all the live timber marked or designated for cutting, on an area of approximate- ly 548 acres, designated Fick Cove areas A and B located at the head of Fick Cove, Chichagof Island, Tongass aNtional Forest, Alaska, es- timated to be 20,000,000 feet B.
