FRIEND need for a statement of policy at this time. Many rumors have been circulating since former Editor Wm. C. Strand left his post here. and reports that this paper has undergone an about-face in regard to its basic policies appear to have won credence in some icle, speaking from a vantage point 1000 miles away, circles. A Ketchikan editor, William Baker of the Chron- has interpreted Strand's resignation as an indication that this paper disapproved of his editorial cam- paigns. President Vice-President Managing Editor ®ntered in the Post Office in Juneau as Second Class Matter. SUBSCRIPTICN RATE: Delivered by carrier in Juneau and Douxl six months, $9.00; one year, §1 By mail, postage paid, at the followt One year, in advance, $15.00; six months, in advance, one month, in advance, $1.50, Subscribers will confer a favor if they will promptly notify the Business Office of any fallure or irregularity in the delivery of their papers.

Mr Baker also reports that the present editor of the News- Miner is under instructions to “stay in the middle of the road.” We would like to make a few points clear to Mr. Baker, and all others who profess to believe as he News Office, 602; Business Office, does. 1. The News-Miner managament was NOT dis- satistied with the editorial policy of Editor William Strand. The paper stands squarely behind the excel- lent work he did in exposing irregularities in Territrial management. Mr. Strand’s degcision to leave the paper was not connected with any basic difference with the man; ment over editorial policy. 2. The present editor of the News-Miner has not received any instructions to alter the editorial policy of the News-Miner, and such a change is not con- templated. 3. .The voice of the News-Miner has not been stilled. This paper will speak up vigorously at any NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. time that ideals it has backed appear to be at stake.} In setting forth policies that this paper feels will be beneficial to the Territory and its people, the News- Miner will stray far from the middle of the road. In his interpretation of recent events at the News-Miner, Mr. Baker states: “He (the new editor) will not be clipping from the sheet of ‘suggestions that comes in occasionally from a certain Seattle agency about how to slant things for the absentee interests.” This appears to be an insinuation that the News- | Miner has, in the past, allowed its policies to be d tated by outside interests. The editor of the News-Miner has been‘an Alaskan newspaperman for four years, and never in this time has he ever discovered such a clipping sheet as Mr Baker ‘mentions. If such a sheet existed, it would, indeed, be a low journalism to make use of it, and in effect, sell out Alaskan: But for an editor to insinuate that such a clippinz sheet is making the rounds, and to accuse others of using it, when that editor knows very well that the sheet does not exist, is even lower journalism. Thursday, February 22, 1951 A BIRTHDAY PRAYER It is our feeling that the prayer offered yesterday morning by the Chaplain of the Territorial House of Representatives, the Rev. Samuel A. McPhetres, is exceedinly worthy of the occasion, the anniversary of the birth of one of our greatest leaders. This is the prayer: “Thou Master of men we heartily thank Thee for the gracious gift to us of the Father of our| Country, George Washington. May the high qualities of his character proved in his excellent leadership be * emulated by all leaders of our Nation. “May Valley Forge remind us that there méy still be dark days of great discouragment when defeat of purpose becomes apparent; and yet, through persever- ance and undimmed vision that the fight for liberty and truth is worth our supreme ssv:rlfic(’f and that thi‘ The News-Mints Con Se MY'.

And by anyone, we include “absentee in- man, and peace among the nations will ultimately be terests,” politicians, big business, pressure groups, and attained. editors of other newspapers. “In the Name of our greatest Divine Leader we pray. “Amen.” all John J.

(Fairhbanks News-Miner) The Fairbapks News-Miner feels. that there is a | e | ports from Tokyo that, while di- ning with Maj. Gen.

While these are skilled busines: men, they serve ' as “no-doll men. In otherwords, they are p:\id‘ not by the government but by their own companies, thus are in the difficult position of serving one master but being paid by another.| These businessmen can do an; important job for their govern-) ment, but they need to be counter- balanced by labor representatives.

Former president of the University of North Carolina Dr, Graham served as a member of the war labor board in World War II and played a potent part in- keeping the labor relations on an even keel. Wilson seemed to welcome Tru- man’s suggestion, but later, when Graham called on Wilson and Gen- | eral Clay, the latter made it clear that Graham would be only one of six assistants, and would reportj not to mobilizer boss Wilson but to Clay through Wall Street invest- ment banker Sidney Weinberg. Under these hamstringing con- ditions, Graham _politely declined.
