NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Wourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Friday, April 20, 1951 “HOW WILL YOU HAVE YOUR ALASKA?” With the April Sunset magazine featuring Alaska | in its title page story and devoting two columns to Southeast Alaska in its travel section, the Territor) should have more than its usual number of tourist visitors this summer. & The information furnished is interesting and cov- ers the problems of Alaska vacations better than most drticles about the Territory. Every possible trip for fishing, camping, photogra~ phy is outlined, from Ketchikan, to Wrangell and the Stikine, Sitka and on to the Juneau and Skagway areas. Air charter trips for fishing in wilderness lakes are suggested.

With a free house, then transferred ~“%he house to his wife. Miliikin also cited Charles Lindbergh, who came “ home to a hero’s welcome and later made some remarks that offended religious groups. However, the sharpest Republican first wes concentrated on Senator Cain of Washington for putting the Republican party on the spot with his resolution declaring war on China. His colleagues agreed it was politically ill-advised, and ripped into him unmercifully. Senator Wherry of Nebraska, who has been Secretamynf State Ache- son’s bitter foe, actually snorted: “As far as the Cain resolution is concerned, I am on Acheson’s side.” Senator Young of North Dakota warned that declaring war on China would do “more damage than any- thing that has happened in the Re- publican party in five years.” Senator Aiken of Vermont poin- ted out a “slight technical” ob- stacle. He brought out that “we can't declare war against a govern- ment that we have refused to rec- ognize.” Cain Argues However, Cain tried to defend his position by arguing that his real purpose was to “pin this war on Truman as Truman's war.” He pointed cut that the Presidem’ in his April 11 speech mentioned war 21 times. However, Cain's col- Taku Lodge, article says, will appeal to two groups of vacationers: “The sportsmen who enjoy the rough feel of the wild ;‘:laces but are not above accepting some good solid comfort with it; and the touring traveler with an eye and a sincere appreciation for good food {himself on the floor again. about the trip north should be It is good reading— ries Sunset stories.

These shocking charges were made in a confidential report by Rear Adm. F. N. Kivette, who was skipper of the aircraft carrier Mid- way until his promotion to Admiral last month. Kivette ordered his own investi- gation of the Norfolk shore patrol and sent a sharp report to the Navy, charging that the Norfolk SP's were “arrogant, dictatorial, arbitrary, sometimes abusive and occasionally brutal.” Kivette's investigation was con- ducted by Ensign Robert E. Ken- yon. Here are excerpts from the of- ficer’s report: Telling of an air force enlisted man, R. T, Cullen, who was hauled in by the shore patrol for alleged drunkenness, the report charges: “Two SP’s and a Chief Petty Of- ficer held Cullen on the deck, and {a person or persons slapped him’a few times. He was then restored to his feet where he was held while the CPO hit him. Cullen theén lost consciousness and recovered to find The Chief Petty Officer kicked him in the chest and two shore patrolmen picked him up and threw him in a cell. Cullen further states that his cell was void of furnishings of any sort, and that he was deprived of his shoes during his confinement.” Later, Cullen’s friends called at leagues failed to follow his reascn- | SP headquarters to find out what ing. In ihe end, Cain insisted that he hsd promised to introduce the resolution and intended to through with it. However, he agreed to make a statement that his only purpose was to focus at- tention on the China issue, since Truman had already got the coun- try into war. The most explosive outburst of the closed-door meeting came from Indiana's wild Senator Jenner. He was spurred out of his seat by a remark from Senator Taft that “no responsible Republican Senator would- advocate impeachment.” To this Jenner shouted angrily: “I may not be part of the respons- ible Republican leadership, but I have my own opinion.” He . demanded mm peachment of President and used considerable profanity in deman it. Senator Feton of Montana tried to soothe Jenier by explaining that it was up to the House to bring impeachment proceedings and the Benate was supposed to act as a Jury. Ecton cautioned that iv would be improper for a Senatcr who was supposed to sit on the ju express advance opinions about im- peachment. In response to a suggestion that the Republicans appoint a wel- coming committee, Millikin de- . clared, “MacArthur must be left in the hands of the public. It should- | charges had been go|man brought against him. The report declares that one of these friends, Apprentice Sea- Charles Passwater, “was told to take everything out of his clothes. As Passwater started to comply, the CPO hit him more than once. When told by the CPO to remove a small crucifix and chain about his neck, Passwater attempted to comply but before he could do so, the CPO seized itand broke the chain. Passwater was then deprived of his shoes and placed in confinement.” Commenting upon his subordin- ate's report, Admiral Kivette de- clared: “I believe these to be true and not isolated cases.” The Admiral also added: “The very few but brief reports I have had concerning the condition of the shore patrol brig are calculated to! induce nausea without a visual in- spection.” Another “typical” case, submit- ted by Kivette, was that of Olen L. Pearson, an enlisted man, who was arrested for reckless driving. “The shore patrol refused to dis- cuss the matter, took Pearson's automobile keys and put him in the patrol truck. No effort was made to permit Pearson to lock his automobile or to see to the protec- tion of his lady friend,” Kivette reported. “A camera, a suit of clothes, a raincoat and a pair of shoes were stolen from Pearson’s automobile before he could return to get them.” So there we have it couraged gold mining and prospecting . . and must have b strategic and critical, 0 ) priated for aid to such mining and prospecting it has nothing in his discussion of the offers a suggestion Said Saarela: ernment, through its Defense Min- created in 1950 to expand the base industry during the period of emer- Saarela, in of the indus ! gency, should commence a mineral buying program There are in Alaska many small mony, mercury. tungsten, tin, etc., where a few tons of easily minable ore could be ex- tracted; but since there is at present no market, no mine such deposits. - A buying pro- am along the lines worked out by Metals Reserve World War II, and carried out by the Territorial Department of Mines, would tend to activate the base-metal mining industry.” Com: joner joins the bewildered following wail: “Provisions of ihe Act will have to be greatly liberal- jzed to afford benefit to the small mine operator, assistance.
