Though only 31 donors had registered with the Red Cross as donors at the end of Wednesday, we're betting that Juneau will have provided the 400 vol- unteers to give the 400 pints of blood that will help relieve suffering on Korean battlefields by the time the Seattle crew ends its day in Juneau. The opportunity to partake in this very important way in the battle of Korea is brought to us in Alaska by the American Red Cross. Women in the U. (New York Times) The deliberations of the fifteen members of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women at their Fifth Session, and the conclusions reached by this group, give food for thought, and action.

Melvin Cole, a vice president of Bethlehem Steel, on loan to the government at no salary, okayed the extra 4,563 tons of steel to Gen- eral Motors. So also did Henry Rankin, loaned to the NPA by Re- public Steel. Both Republic and Bethlehieinl "o a ‘land-office busi- ness with General Motors. Meanwhile, Baldwin Locomotives, which wanted extra steel for 45 lo- comotives, had its application “lost.” So did three other compan- jes which had no one inside the NPA. Twice Col. Knight put thru their allocations, but twice they got “lost.” After Col. Knight testified, his chief, Franz Stone, also on loan to the government by the Columbus McKinnon Chain Co., held an em- ergency meeting in his office until nearly midnight. Ston'e Company also does business with General Motors. Next morning, the NPA personnel officer, Herschell Snead, handed Col. Knight a typed resig- nation and asked him to sign it. Knight hesitated. Several days passed. It became clear that if he didn't get out peaceably he would be boycotted and isolated. All pa- pers usually routed to him, were| routed around him. Matt Tate, who had bawled him out for testifying before Congress, was appointed to the job Knight had been promised —assistant chief of the division. Finally, Knight signed the resigna- tion handed him by the personnel office. A New England railroad man, he is going back to Lyndonville, Vt., where he came from. Note—A steady stream of indus- try men, working “WOC” — “with- out compensatior have operated the National Production Authority. Since they are paid by their own| companies, not by the government, their first loyalty frequently is to their company Some companies even make it a policy to plant men inside key government agen- cies to make sure their friends are| favored. Soviet Lights Burn Late Most important topic of conver- sation in the diplomatic corps these days is the way the United States is revealing priceless secrets of war strategy to a potential en- emy in the Kremlin. Foreign military attaches and diplomats are reading every line of the Senate hearings on MacAr- thur and sending voluminous cop- ies back to their governments as a future textbook on what this country will do in case of war. They say that never in modern history have they seen so complete a rev- elation of important policies sup- posed to be kept secret. Friendly diplomats have expres- sed private concern over the Mac- Arthur hearings. Unfriendly diplo- mats are eating up the hearings like duck soup. It is estimated in diplomatic circles that the MacAr- thur revelations will save the So- viet several million dollars of in- telligence money which it otherwise | would have spent in this country. | Military attaches point out that it 1s common practice for a foreign! army to spend months studying the personality of one important mil- itary leader, such as Gen. Omar | Bradley, and how he will react in JR!

The United States, for instance, brought Gen.

That's why this information is so import- ant. Now, as a result of the MacAr- thur hearings, the enemy Kknows just exactly how Gen. Bradley, Gen. Joe Collins, Adm. Forrest Sherman and Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg all would react should we get into an all-out war, how far an enemy could push us before getting mv.ul war, and so on. No wonder the lights burn late in the Soviet Embassy every eve- ning after the MacArthur hearings. B. & O. Disclosure One of the most important dis- closures in the suppressed RFC— Baltimore and Ohio Railroad re- port, now made public after four years in a Senate safe, is the at- titude of a U. S. District Judge in Baltimore—Judge William C. Ches- nut. The Senate report now shows that Judge Chesnut had owned Baltimore and Ohio RR bonds and actually voted these bonds in favor of the B. & O. bankruptey plan in 1939, the year the railroad firstj went into receivership. Judge Chesnut, according to the hitherto suppressed report, had been careful to sell his bonds just before the B. & O. case came to his court, though he neglected to notify the affected bondholders. Then he” wrote an opinion in favor of the same bankruptcy plan that he had voted for as a bondholder. In his 1939 opinion, Judge Ches- nut found that by 1944, the B. & O. would be able to meet its $87,- 000,000 debt to the RFC and would not be in need of a second bank- ruptcy proceeding. Five years later, howeVer, Judge Chesnut sat on the second B. & O. receivership case, and also vo- | ted for bankruptcy. But before the| 1944 case was sent to court, Russell ! Snodgrass, a Jesse Jones man pla- | ced inside the railroad as financial | vice-president, took the precaution | to phone Judge Chesnut and ask whether his 1939 opinion would em- barrass him in sitting on the 1944 case. Judge “No.” Note Chesnut's answer was: Some Senators got the im- pression that be the B. & O case was reviewed by the courts,| theer was no reason for publishing the Senate Banking and Currency | Committee report prepared by Sen- | ator Tobey. However, the last court review occurred in 1945, and dealt | with whether the railroad was able | to pay its RFC debt. The Tobey report two years later dealt with | the peculiar political maneuvering | and wirepulling which siphoned off money and thereby put the rail-| road in the position of being un-| able to pay its debt | . | NOTICE As of June Sth, M Saturday will be started one hour earlier.
