Saturday, April 28, 1951 SCHOOL ELECTION MONDAY Vote Monday. The school bond election Monda: whether or not the Juneau distri planned $200,000 wing on the school building which is | to be constructed at Glacier Highway and 12th Street this season. Elsewhere in tonight's Empire is proposed building. A $750,000 bond issue was voted the cty’s share of a new school building. At that time it was understood that the sum woul the Federal government. A change in Public Works regulations eliminated the Federal government's matching §' ent plans to erect the building on the $750,000, voted last year, plus the $200,000 that it is| hoped will be voted Monday, are s Council and School Board as the best way to provide the much needed school building. The additional rooms that will be $200,000 bond issue are greatly nee be cheaper to make the addition while construction is underway than at some future time, school authorities say. If your name is on the tax rolls—for property The Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) my staff did call at my direction | at the home of Mrs. Emma Craven | to ask her w%&la , kickbacks | which we heard sl e‘fr'lya'd paid to the GOP Congressman from Ohio. The interview was cordial. Mr. An- derson appealed to Mrs. Craven’s conscience to tell the truth, point- ing out that kickbacks were against the law, that we had part of the etory, and would like her help in substantiating all the facts. However, Mrs. Craven flatly sta- ted that she had paid no money back to the Congressman. Tr‘other words, she lied. For, on the witness stand this week, she stated just the opposite, admitting that she kicked back part of her salary to Brehm. Congressman Storms During Anderson’s interview with Mrs. Craven she went into the kit- chen on the pretense of getting some refreshments and while there apparently telephoned the Con- gressman. Shortly thereafter he came bursting in the door. At first he pretended merely to have been in the neighborhood and dropped in by accident. But he was too ag- itated to keep up the pretense.’ For he literally exploded. What did Anderson mean, he stormed, by snooping into his affairs? Didn't he know that he was a righteous, honest member of Congress? Brehm was so worked up that he shouted at Anderson for about five minutes. Innocent men inci- dentally do not usually storm. Finally, when Brehm subsided, and Anderson was able to get in a word edgewise, he told the Congressman from Ohio that if he was as inno- cent as he said he was, obviously there was nothing to worry about. But Congressman Parnell Thomas also had protested his innocence when we exposed his kickbacks— only to land in jail. “Those who shout the loudest sometimes turn out to be the most guilty,” Anderson remarked., and left. Anderson reported the whole in- cident to me next day and expres- sed his opinfon that Brehm was ly- ing. However, it took about nine months more to develop all the facts regarding Brehm's kickbacks so that they were libel-proof and I could risk publication. Even then, after publication of the first story on Sept. 26, 1950, Brehm threatened to sue and called me a liar. However, the interesting thing is that the Congressman now claims he did not know about the kick- backs until Anderson called on Mrs, Craven in January 1950. His wife, his attorney explains, overheard a telephone conversation between her| husband and Mrs. Craven that| night and confessed to him lhal‘ she had also been receiving some kickback money from Mrs. Soli-| day, the other secretary. | the way 1 | storming around to Mrs. Craven’s | his position as his administrative apparently Fulbright_commmi mess 9 the status of O'Dwyer, ambassa self thoroughly en retain O’Pwyer, di; Neither action eradication of cri for everyone.’ disgust with the easy tolerance the White House man- ages to muster in dential cronies.

Russian Submarine A grim warning has reached the Pentagon. that the Communists,may. be preparing to throw a Sunday. punch at American forces in Ko- rea, including an air and submar-| ine attack. It has long been known that the Russians had 60 to 75| submarines in Siberian-Korean | waters, plus at least 2,600 airplanes. | And fear that they might be thrown into battle is one of the big reasons why the joint chiefs of staff have hesitated about bomb- ing Chinese bases. Should Russian| subs and airplanes now be used, therefore, it might end the Mac- Arthur debate before it starts; and embroil the United States in the all-out war in Asia that MacArtbur wants. | Latest Pentagon report is that the Communists may throw 650 planes and 70 submarines into the Korean War. The planes are al- ready standing by on Manchurian | airstrips, and the submarines have been making mysterious moves along the China coast. Meanwhile, the Communists have beep ‘Fepair- ing North Korean air fields as fést as American planes can hammer them. This may be a gigantic, Com- munist bluff, but the joint chiefs of staff are taking it seriously. They have already agreed to retaliate against Manchurian bases—regard- less of boundaries—if our ground troops are seriously endangered by an enemy air cffensive. L So far the Chinese have aimed their chief attacks at the South Korean links in the line, where, the ) South Korean Sixth Division buck- led and was almost wiped out. Sig- nificantly, 43 per cent of the front/ was held by South Koreans at the time of the counteroffensive. Though the Chinese counterblow had been anticipated for several weeks, it was launched three to six weeks before expected. As late as last week, Army Intelligence cabled that the Communist main force appeared to have withdrawn to the 39th parallel for regrouping and reorganization. Nevertheless, the Americans had been kept on constant alert, and were not caught off guard. Note—in spite of repeated warn- ings about the danger of a Com- munist air offensive, American ground troops have set up an air- raid warning net but have not bothered to camouflage their po- sitions by day or black out all lights at night.

L. Bartlett and Luther C. Steward, head of the Washington, D. C, local, regarding Section 112 of the Department of Interior ap- propriation bill. This section, passed by-the House Appropriations Committte, would eliminate the 25 per cent cost-of- living allowance from sal s of Federal personnel hired in Alaska. The Juneau executive board met last night and decided on the move. In the wire Petrich sent to Bart- lett and Steward it was pointed out | that such action would be grossly | unfair to resident Alaskans and to those who ps their own fares to Alaska to seek employment, “since,’ the wire stated, “they live under the same conditions and bear the same lyiving cox as employees to Alaska at government wire further pointed out that elimination of the 25 per cent cost- of-living would result in lowered morale and create the pecessity for stateside recruiting since wages paid for comparable positions in private enterprise and Territorial agencies “exceeds Federal salaries including | cost-of-living allowances.” Petrich received a wire fror Steward late this.morning assurin the NFFE local in Juneau that he would do all in his power to defeat the measure.
