Whether such | business was the appointment, of Treasurer of Finance members the present and ensuing The appointment of the United States Marshal for the Third Division is still unfinished business, and a very moot question because it comes within the realm of pure politics, which is a pity. The marshal’s post for the Third Divi very important one and can have far-reaching effects, who the man or what his qualifications. It has been pretty well agreed by thinking people, however, that the job requires first of all a law enforcement officer, and lastly a political aspirant. In the far-reaching area of the Third Division, there centers the largest transient population in Al- aska. The Third Division has many small villages miles and miles apart which depend on the office of uU. Marshal for its law enforcement. The great red salmon fishing industry with its heawvy shifts in transient workers each season, centers in the Third Divis‘on It all adds up to a man of energies and ability It is essentially not a job for a party faithful, a re- ward for the remaining tender years of his life. There are among the applicants. several men of good qualifications for the important post. One has already had marshal’s experience. Two are in active police work. It appears that despite the low pay and ard work there are men who look upon the job as a challenge and are ready to take it on. It would be a serious mistake for those with the power of making the appointment to view the appli- cants only from a standpoint of party and disregard that which is most essential — good qualifications. declared titutional has unca its sponsors | the | no matter Board of Adminis but the Board the money and | with | at Henry Roden as and the unani- would claim no The Washingion VMerry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) he argued, the German gov- IPTITWouta 1ot "be “able to” col= 1em. have a very the United er repli I know Chancellor, but gunmen.” tax col- But- good States Jail.” ied the that is a r 1wie Ye: n in Ger- Just r your On the contr: countered the Deputy High Commi ow you a list of quite solid citi inclu doctors busi- to jail because ioner, and d remained un- S. authorities Ade , however, winced U permitted the nt to get away with its re tructure, even though 1l loopholes whereby rs can dodge Result: jermany is now faced with a heavy deficit, is ask- for more U.

The report comes through devious| | channels from behind the Iron Cur- | tain and has not yet been evaluated ‘hy the Atomic Energy Commission. | It will be recalled that last sum- ‘mcx professor Bruno Pontecorvo, an atomic scientist who spent some. time in the United States, slipped mysteriously into Finland and then vanished behind the Iron Curtain. | American authorities had warn- ed the British that Pontecorvo | should be watched, but nonetheless |{he and his family left London in ‘Auuusr. presumably on vacation, | raveled a circuitous route to Rome, | Stockholm and Helsinki.

The Italian-born professor alle- gedly had been in touch with the Russians long before he fled last summer, and made this move after he advised his Soviet contacts that he had information so “hot” he must bring it personally to the U. S. 8. R. Once in the Soviet, it is now re- ported that Prof. Pontecorvo de- voted himself to writing an exhau- stive report on a new method of A-bomb production, a long-range guided missile, and an air defense system based on cosmic rays. He is said to have told Marshall Beria, |in charge of secret scientific re- search, that the air defense system could be in operation by October 1952, ACROSS 1. Go swiftly on foot 4.
