Thursday, June 28, 1951 HERE'S TO CHIEF MILL Sometimes a hero wears a moustache and smokes & black cigar. of preventing fire disaster in Juneau so quietly that only a few know. A number of Juneau Volunteer Firemen paid tri- | bute to their chief, Minard Mill, following an ear morning call Tuesday to the Winter and Pond Build- ing. The fact that the fire was prevented from spreading they laid entirely to Mill's alertness and recalled that three months ago the Department had a fire drill at that spot. When the fire occurred everything went like clockwork, firemen reported. Without fanfare the same practice drills are being carried out in al parts of Juneau where there are “hot spots.” Sometimes he goes about his business | | citizens about the operations and activities of govern- ment. We cannot maintain a dernocracy without an informed public. We cannot pass judg ernmental questions without a knowledge government is doing. So no one can quarrel with some expenditure of public funds for the “information activities” of the Federal government. But it does not follow tha¢ all the money so spent is in fact well spent. On the contrary, there is engrmous waste in the daily outpouring of “information.” Ac- cording to U.S. News and World Report, government handouts to newspapermen bulk large enough to fill 15 pages of newsprint daily. At last count, about 2. were devoting their time to information activities.

Here surely is'a logical place for economy, at a time when economy in_ nonessential spending is the best weapon possible to combat inflation. a year. Peculiar_ Road to Freedom (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Edith Abbott, professor and dean emeritvs o: the University of Chicago’s School of Social Service Ad- ministration, has' come up with a dilly, according to the Associated Press. In akcepting an “imaginative and constructive contribution for al award to s | work,” Dr. Abbott said: | “We should give children’s allowances and grant old-age pensions to every one at a certain age without I am sure time will This is one of the new any question as to need. come when we shall do this. | roads to freedom that we need a little courage to find.” Poor freedom!

D. Roose- velt. ;r.. got fiaidn%xf\ Congressman Kluczynski and urged him to vote | with the consumer. He pointed out that th eDemocratic party had al- ways stood with the poorer people not with the meatpackers. Con- gressman Thomas O'Brien, Demo- crat, dean of the Chicago delega- tion, also buttonholed the stock- yards Congressman and in the last session he finally switched his vote. Meatpackers’ Friends His switch, however, was neutral- fzed by Congressman Clarence Bur- ton of Virginia, who first voted for the housewife, but who, after being approached by Harry Byrd forces, changed and voted against. Congressman ~ Tom Fugate of Virginia, another Byrd henchman, was the man who made the motion in the secret committee debate to block price rollbacks. He won by the hairline vote of 12-11, which was why Burton’s and Kluczynski's votes were so important. Three Democrats, besides Fugate, original- ly voted with the meatpackers Paul Brown of Georgia, Albert Rains of Alabama, and Kluczynski (on the first vote). «T feel that this (Fugate's amend- ment) is a reasonable compromise,” Brown declared. “Compromise, hell!” shouted Ab- raham Multer, New York Demo- crat. “This is a complete defeat for the consumers. The packers get what they want, and to hell with the consumers.” Brown snapped that the adminis- tration had promised there wouldn't be any rollbacks, but Multer shot back that the producers had alse promised there wouldn't be any price increases. “The producers didn't keep that promise,” declared Multer. An interesting sidelight is that Fugate’'s amendment, outlawing rollbacks, actually was drawn up by John J. Heimburger, a research specialist for the House Agriculture committee. Likewise interesting is| that Heimburger’s office was infes- ted with lobbyists at the time hel was drawing up the amendment. Since Heimburger has no busin- ess preparing amendments for the House Banking committee, he turn- ed the amendment over to Con- gressman W. R. Poage of Tex Agriculture committee member, who slipped it to Fugate. Speaker Rayburn Loafed Eight Republicans voted against the housewife on rollbacks—Jesse Wolcott of Michigan, Henry Talle of Iowa, Clarence Kilburn of New York, Albert Cole of Kansas, Don- ald Nicholson of Massachusetts, Gordon McDonough of California, Howard Buffett of Nebraska and Jackson Betts of Ohio | Deane of North ally voted for the consumers were | Brent Spence of Kentucky, Abra- ham Multer of New York, Charles Carolina, George O'Brien of Michigan, Clinton Mc- Kinnon of California, Hugh Addon- izio of New Jersey, Isidore Doll- inger of New York, Richard Bolling of Missouri, Clarence Burton of Vir- ginia (he switched later) and Wil- liam Barrett of Pennsylvania. The - inescapable fact is . that speaker Sam Rayburn could easily have changed the results. He has enough influence over Alzlbnmn'si Rains to change his vote simply by asking. Rayburn also could have preevnted W. R. Poage of Texas from pulling backstage wires against the consumers, and could have | stopped Wright Patman of Texas, | a Banking Committee member, from flying out of town for med- ical treatment during the critical vote. Patman could have gotten the medical treatment here and been on hand for this crucial showdown so important to the nation. Hide-and-Seek Truce It's a sure bet that the Russians will play hide-and-seek in the dip- lomatic underbrush for some time regarding their truce-in-Korea pro- posal. But it is equally certain that they (definitely want to call off the disastrous Korean imbroglio. American intelligence has indica- ted this for some time. Here are some of the reasons why: 1. The Chinese are getting rest- less. Their casualties are terrific and Chinese war lords who in effect “own” their own armies, do not like to have their armies dwindle. It detracts from their power and prestige. 2. The Chinese are demanding more and more supplies from Rus- sia—supplies which Moscow is not anxious to give. 3. Mao is under increasing crit- icism from his own advisers. They point out that China, cannot af- ford to become a satellite of Rus- sia and that is the course they are now taking. 4. The Chinese famine this year has been worse than usual. Several million died and the Communists get the blame. 5. Anti - Communist guerrilla bands are getting more and more powerful in South China. In some areas the Communists control only | the cities. The Russians have never hesita- ted to reverse themselves complete- ly when they get in a jam. That’s what they did in Berlin when they couldn't lick the air lifi. Now there is no question they want to drop the entire Korean war, but they want to do so on their own terms leaving South Korea in danger of attack all over again. SEWARD MARINE 1S HOME BOUND, ROTATION PLAN SAN FRANCISCO, June 28 Cpl. Kenneth Cornwell of Seward, Only one Republican voted for the housewife—Ralph Gamble of New York.
