PR¥her HaGbbard suggested that we should “un- | shackle MacArthur and let him make the military | decisions and to hell with the diplomats—who have fafled the nation dismally.” Many who have heard the General, in Congress and out, have agreed with the glacier priest. Of interest to Alaskans is Father Hubbard's com- | ment on his pecent Collier’s story that has caused | considerable controversy. “If the Russians are strong enough to take Alaska, they are sfong ‘enough to hy-pass it and directly | attack the, United States mainland,” Father Hubbard sdid in the'Seattle Times.

Friday, April 27, 1951 FATHER HUBBARD KNOWS HIS MacARTHUR—AND HIS KOREA Though his pr%dicuon worked in reverse, Alaska’s | Father Hubbard was correct in judging the serious- ness of the situation in Korea when he was inter- viewd April 6 by the Seattle Times. This was less than a week before President Tru- man fired General MacArthur, whom Father Hub- bard considers a foremost authority on the eastern situation, and Father Hubard predicted then that if General MacArthur did not get authority within the next two weeks to carry the war to the Communists, he “may resign and comé home to tell the world the truth” about the Korean war. He said he believed that moral courage to do just, that.” Four days later, the President beat General Mac- Arthur to the punch and the General's dismissal re- sulted. Since then he has had opportunity to tell his story to Congress and the world. The Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) they wouldn't be able to get any- where near the White House. The ! boys around the President woul never let them in.” What the speaker referred to is the extreme jealousy of most White House advisors. They are so fearful that some outside advisor will weaken tigeir close to the throne, that they let few people of any stature have the ident’ €] r routine President's ear—except for Ioutine| . o the Detroit Democrat. “Why official callers. This is one of Truman's greatest weaknesses today. Truman's Bad Timing Meanwhile, the President’s sense of timing has proved deplorably bad. When Truman fired Louey Johnson as secretary of defense, he did so exactly three days before the Inchon landing in Korea. If he had waited until after the Inchon landing, he knew Johnson would have received part of the credit for this victory and his dismissal would have been unpopular. So Truman fired him first. In the case of MacArthur, if the President had relieved him imme- diately after the tragi€ - er dfeat in Korea, publi¢ opinion would have been with Truman. In- stead, he waited for the wrong mo- ment. Note—with a few exceptions, such as Dean Acheson, Roosevelt never fired a high official outright. He usually sent them to China or some other foreign country to make a survey, then eased them out of office afterward. Acheson was fired as undersecretary of the treasury at a press conference during which Acheson was waiting in an outer office. He did not know he was fired until the newsmen, emerging from the press conference, told him so. He had disagreed with FDR|see the government give tax re- about devaluating the gold cententjlief to a pretty face than a cow of the dollar. Veep and MacArthur Every movie theatre in the coun- up Dingell. try is now showing General Mac- Arthur's dramatic speech joint session of Congress. As the movie cameras recorded MacAr- thur's famous attack on the ad- ministration, their lenses also re- corded the impassive face of vice president Alben Barkley. Barkley, sitting immediately be- hind MacArthur, gave no outward indication of his thought. However, Barkley's friends report that while MacArthur was striking at the foundation of the administration’s foreign policy, the Veep was re- flecting on his own personal ties with the General. Barkley recalled that his eldest daughter, Laura, is married to Douglas MacArthur III, the Gen- eral’'s nephew. And as he listened to the General's vitriolic attack, he thought of the many tickets he had given MacArthur's relatives so they could come and witness the attack. He could not help but wonder also what his son-in-law, Douglas MacArthur III, thought about his Uncle’s “save Asia first” ideas. For young MacArthur is State Depart- “MacArthur has the 1 J 3 d| pet themes is cherished positions? v Actyblly Alaska is one of the safest places in the world right now. In my opinion we might be smart to induce the Russians to attack through Alaska. T'd lik | to' see them try to get anywhere in that vast domain | after they had landed.” MWhile e should never become over confident re- garding ‘possible attack on Alaska by Russia, Father Hubbard’s opinion makes so much sense that we are glad to, bear it expressed. His_complete knowledge of Alaska gives one con- | fidence ini his opinion. “DOCTOR, COME QUICKLY.” Because Alaska is part of the background of the author whose father, to whom the book is dedicated | lived .in._Skagway and Dyea in gold rush days, and | because ‘many in Alaska know Dr. Frank J, Clancy, it -is' a pleasure to give a good word to his book, “Doctor, Come Quickly.” After it was published, it made Seattle best- seller lists—and not just because Seattle is Dr. Clancy’s home, ‘we are ‘sure. It is an intersting account of theoureer: of /a doctor, his training and practice in the Northwest, his years in Vienna and in graduate school; the stories, remembered, of his father's gold rush days in Alaska. There is a philosophic observation of life through “Doctor, Come Quickly,” and toward the end of book one finds these paragraphs: “Charity and humility are frequently lost in t‘ml mad scramble for success. And success is such nl transient prize. Too often it melts away as did Cin- derella’s coach. There are only three handles on each side of the casket and if one can name $ix true friends that he desires above all others to jrasp them, he is rich indeed. “Life is short enough at best, and if he can fo through it inflicting as little pain and discomfort to others as humanly possible, he has lived a good life.” SRR - £ - B R - : e man \;};hc is]you know that Sinatra has a voice that comes once in a lifetime?” “Yes,” replied Crosby, “but why does it have to come in my life- | time?” ment adviser to the trying to save Europe nrst—-Gv.n Dwight Eisenhower. | Taxing Women’s Faees |/ Chief Congressional Champion of the “working girl” is Rep.

How- ever, when you have a 100 per cent tax on cigarettes in additfon to the various state taxes, I think it's’ time to stop if you want to save free enterprise in this country.” Chairman Bob Doughton of North Carolina beamed brightly.
