NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Thursday, June 7, 1951 ACCURATE SUMMARY Senator Tobey (R., N. H) had an accurate pro- nouncement to make on the course of the MacArthur- Korea investigation by the Senate. He asked that the Senators “ring down the curtain” on the meandering hearings “for the good of the country and the men in the service in Korea.” Urging his colleagues to “forget little riddling stuff” and to refuse to throw “sand in the gear box,” Tobey said he was “impressed with the futility of much that is going on here.” “Here are a lot of men, well-intentioned men with absolutely no military train- ing or gumption or common sense, ‘fie said, “coming in here to pose questions to men whose life-long service has been in the military and naval establish- ments and the Air Force of this country.” His charge against the hearings is amply sup- ported by the dreary record of the hearings for over two weeks now. Evidently all that keeps the investi- Second Rate Citizens (Fairbanks News-Miner) A Congressional committee has come out in favor of cutting off the 25 per cent cost of living allowance given to resident Alaskan employees of the Federal government. June % Dick Folta Thomas Hellan Robert Larsen Kathryn Wilkins Irma Phillips Mrs. T. W. Hawley Iona Freeburn Henry Blaisdell e e o 0 o Delegate Bartlett has warned that this bill may | become law. at least so far as Agriculture Department employees are concerned. He also has varned that there is a strong group of lawmakers who are seeking to cut off this allowance for all Federal workers in the Territories. But the worst feature of the law is the provision that allows a person who is hired outside the Territory to collect the allowance. In other words, a resident of the States working in Alaska will draw 25 per cent more than an Alaskan for doing the same work. This is the worst form of colonialism to appear in our country since the days when the King of England ruled America. The Federal government, which allegedly is trying to populate Alaska, now is preparing to assess a penalty on people who have taken up residence here. The law implies that Alaskans are second rate workers, and generally undesirable as employees of the Federal government. It penalizes Alaskans for having the courage to move into a Territory, and ploneer the development of what has been termed “America’s Last Frontier.” . Alaskans, who pay taxes that are proportionately higher than residents of the States, and who serve in the armed forces and perform to a letter all the duties of citizenship, are being discriminated against by their own government. This proposal is unfair, unjust, and damaging to the morale of people who are manning a strategic outpost in the continental defense system. If Con- gress passes the proposed allowance slash, the law- | { | makers will be putting their stamp of approval on a law that is actually an insult to every resident of the Territory. “you can walk into a lion's cage and be perfectly gation going is the momentum pique and pettiness [ safe if you'll indicate by your manner that you are At oot SRotary cluh, Berandf SRS SRR T Church, O.

MAKE THE NEW YORK TIMES Alaska made the New York Times travel section The Wafifiinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) Gen. Robert Eichelberger, then in Tolyb/Amue te expected to be sum- moned back to the United States during the GOP convention in 1948 and that he, Eichelberger, should be prepared to take over as Com- mander of Japan. However, MacArthur headquarters during the 1948 convention proved to be the emptiest place in Phila- delphia, and MacArthur felt that the party had taken him up on the high mountain. Therefore, his close friends now say that this time he doesn't want to be let down. So the trip to Texas is something of a test. Since the visit to Chicago was disappointing, in that the General failed to fill soldiers’ field; and since the trip to Murfreesboro, Tenn., also failed to fill the local stadium, the Texas visit will be ex- tremely important. Texas has prom- ised a tremendous ovation, and if it goes over big, his close political backers hope that MacArthur will let his campaign cap be tossed into the ring. Chicago Crime No television cameras were fo< cused on Chicago businessman George S. May, affiliate of racket- eers, when he testified before the Senate Crime Committee. Even the newsmen were barred as May was called to explain his pay-offs to the racketeers from the gambling profits of his Tam O’'Shanter Club in the Chicago suburbs. May alleg- edly paid 40 per cent of his slot- machine take to racketeer Ed Vo- gel, Cook County slot-machine king. But on this he did no talk- ing. He did talk freely about his ef- ficiency-expert business, the George S. May Company, which has hand- led contracts for big corporations, city governments and even foreign governments. However, he was mum on all questions that might lead to his dealings with the racketeers and even refused to tell whether he was a member of a golf club. This got under the skin of the crusading senator from New Hamp- shire, Charles Tobey, who exploded: “Evidently this bird is going to do everything but answer ques- tions. We are wasting time. He has been in cahoots with gambling and all the crooked elements. “He goes and plays with the scum of the earth, and we are not supposed to find out about it. Well, we will find out about it, and we will get it before we are through. Let me say one thing. Here is a man, George S. May, who stands before us and tells us about his great business enterprise, his na- tion-wide advertising and that he is a respectable man. And yet, be- fore a committee of his peers—a committee of the United States Senate—he hesitates to answer a simple question, ‘are you a member of a golf club?"” Then, swinging around fo May, There are two Tobey blistered: “Before God, your life is encumbered by these | things that you cannot answer even | a simple question of that sort? Why don't you come out in the open and say, I'll give you every- | thing you want to know. My life is an open bock. Then, if your life |is an open book and you are clean "and “honest, just spill it Why do | you want to cover up? What a po- sition for a man to be in with his soul that he cannot answer such a simple question! What is all your money worth if you cannot look men in the face like the men who are sitting here? I would rather be dead than be in that po- sition myself—with all your money and all your power!” May’s face burned a flaming red. But he continued his refusal to answer questions. Washington Pipeline Senators have turned down a re- quest from Vice President Barkley for a new cadillac limousine. They decided he can get along on his old 1949 cadillac. . . . The Dutch government has made discreet in: quiries to find out whether it’s true that “call me Madame” Perle Mes- ta may be the next American Am- bassador to Holland. The Dutch are not at all happy over this pros- pect. The Agriculture Depart- ment has requested the National its reduction of steel allocations for farm machinery which would mean one-third fewer new farm mach- ines next year. Secretary Brannan says the farms can't stand such a drastic cut. The Demniocrats kicked Senator McCarthy off the Appropriations Committee to make room for another Democrat. But his successor, Senator Robertson of Virginia, has been voting just as Republican as McCarthy. On i Robertson’s first day with the com- mittee, he ignored his Democratic | colleagues and gave his proxy tol Republican Senator Cordon of Ore- 1 gon. . . . Black marketeers will be" unhappy to learn that Price En- forcement Chief Ed Morgan has doubled the number of his agents. Their chief targets are the price- gougers in meat, automobiles and steel. . The House Ways and | Means Committee is under terrific presure from the oil and automobile lobbies to rescind its federal excise tax boost on gasoline from 1-': cents to 2 cents a gallon, as well as the increase of the excise on new motor cars from 7 to 10 per| per cent. However, the commitiee will probably keep the excise in- creases just the same. TV Quandry The recent Supreme Court deci- sion approving the CBS brand of color television has the TV indus- try in a quandry as to whether it should use limited aliocations of aluminum and copper for the manufacture of new TV sets or color converters for old TV recei- I\ TS, There’s not enough of the scarce | materials for both. As a result, | television manufacturers soon will request the National Production Authority to increase their supplies any limit as to the number of angles. sides to every question, and scarcely of aluminum and copper—also steel. TV spokesmen will argue that the FCC will open up new areas for television reception next fall and that there will not be enough TV sets to supply the increased demand. However, the NPA will deny the appeal and will tell TV makers they must decide for themselves whether to continue making black- and-white sets or enter the color field.
