PAGE SIX COMMUNICATION To the Editor, Daily Alaska Em- pire: Dear Sir: | In your lead editorial for Novem- ber 28, 1950, you took issue with | President Truman by saying, “Thatl May I point out to you that there is at least one prominent member of the United States Senate who seems to feel from the stnndpomt‘ of defense that there is a distinct difference between a state and a| territory. I refer to Senator Russell of Georgia Senator Russell will become Chair- man of the Senate Armed Services ee—————ee THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-JUNEAU, ALASKA a state. Although his position will not be comforting to Alaskans, who would have to bear the brunt of an onslaught from Siberia, they never- in some quarters it is felt that be- cause of its present political status oOn January 3 next|Alaska WILL NOT be defended as, it would be if it were a state. Speak- ing to the Senate on November 30, statehood for Alaska makes fOT & ophiree: in that capacity he willlonly two days after your editorial better defense is a poor argument. The claim that statehood would strengthen Alaska’s defenses—and | thus, the nation—is not supported by fact. No one has underteken to show how this political move would serve to augmen* .laska’s military strength or r-.der the Territory have great influence in determin- ing the military policies of this country. Very positively Senator Russell, who is most definitely un- | favorable to #-: cause of Alaska statehood, elicves t-at this nation has no such obli”,ation o defend a | territory as it would Fave to defend appeared, Senator Russell had this to say: “I hope and pray that within the next 10 to 12 months the skies will lighten and that the clouds will pass. But unless I very seriously misjudge the situation, we are in for a period of crisis for many years theless have the right to know that less vulneralie to attack.” Fares Reduced One Way 63.00« 98.00« 80.00« 104.50« Anchorage Kodiak Homer Naknek A.

I repeat, there is absolutely nothing that is inconsistent or con- tradictory in defending the rights of the States and in opposing the making of new States, which will fix an obligation on the Federal Gov- ernment to defend their rights in | case of any great emergency. Should | these Territories be admitted into the United States, either today or next year, I would feel bound to fight for their rights as vigorously as I would defend the rights of Georgia or Wyoming, and I do not think I care to be placed in that position when we do not know but that a terrific blow will be leveled at one of those outposts either to- morrow or 6 months from tomor- row.” Sincerely yours, E. L. BARTLETT. PRIBCERERAEOL =S (signed) MINES COMMISSIONER ON INSPECTION TRIP NORTH 'INTIMIDATION IS CHARGED WITNESS REMINGTON CASE NEW YORK, Dec. 23—49—00\1!\-‘ ,sel for former government econo- mist Willlam W. Remington charged today that potential defense wit- ! nesses were being intimidated by prosecution tactics. Federal Judge Gregory F. Noonan brushed aside the charge, comment- ing “I do not recognize anything such as a defense or a government witness until a person takes the stand.” Remington, 33-year-old former Department of Commerce econo- | mist, on trial on a charge of per- Jury, is accused of having lied to a Federal grand jury when he denied |he ever was a Communist. His divorced wife, Mrs. Ann Rem- | ington, has spent the past two days on the stand, testifying they both | were Communists more than 10 | years ago. Defense attorney Joseph L. Rauh, | Jr., charged today that the govern- |ment has been calling a series of ‘pntential defense witnesses before | the grand jury for the “sole purpose |of getting information about the |defendant and intimidating them.” U.S. attorney Irving H. Saypol said the intimidation charge was “baseless” and said the government | had “no apologies to make . . . for (What I consider to be the normal ‘Iunctioning of the administration of Justice.” WESTERN ROUTE ALASKA HIGHWAY OPEN NEXT SEPT. Wwith the completion of th(; 151 ron SALE miles of new road composing the | Hart Highway in British Columbia scheduled for the end of Septem- | ber, 1951, a western route to con- nect Pacific Coast states and Brit- ish Columbia with the Alaska Highway at Dawson Creek will be| open to traffic, according to advices received by Colonel John R. Noyes, Commissioner of the Alaska Road Commission from Col. W, G. Swan, President of the Vancouver, B. C., Board of Trade. Colonel Swan was informed of the time contemplafed | for the completion of the last link to connect western roadways with the Alaska Highway by E. C.| Carson, Minister of Public Works | at Vancouver, B. C. | A section of 14 miles remains to be built, and also a bridge over | the Parsnip River. In addition, re- construction of approximately 50 miles of previously constructed road near Dawson Creek is required. This road system through British | Columbia, which, Cblonel Noyes pointed out, has so long been de- sired, will shorten the distance from | Alaska to the Pacific Coast by | seven or 800 miles. The route from the Pacific Coast will be from Seat- tle to Vaucouver, B. C, north on the Brilish Columbia highways to Prince George thence to Dawson | Creek..
