Many of the laws applied here are obsolete and inadequate. The land laws are outstanding examples. They enacted in the 1860's for application to the Midwest with the view of encouraging the development of farms. There is little simi- larity in the development of land in Alaska and land in the Midwest. “The history of Alaska under the rule of the United States,” continues The Anchorage Daily Times, “shows that controls administered from Washington are ineffective. The Rus- sians had learned that controls from Moscow were ineffective. Then The mes erroneously prescribes a for these ills: replace controls with sovereignty under statehood Fine. But the right prescription? —the patient? Unfortunately, Ala Instead of REMOVING pending statehood bill stead of LIBERATING Alaska ENSLAVE the Territory with restrictions that could not be removed for generations. The Anchorage Times editorial points up the fact that timber allowed to over-mature and decay under present bureaucratic restrictions. Nothing in present statehood legislation would change it. The ruinous Interior Department policies of withdrawing public lands for vast Indian reservations, for example, would be strengthened if the statehood bills passed. statehood of settlement here. J.

Furthermore, Sen. Lynden “ly- ing-down” Johnson's investigating committee has had some of these facts for months. But in keeping with his Texas nickname, he laid | down on the job. Meanwhile, here are more facts showing how an American Admiral persuaded General MacArthur's headquarters to release 62,000 rounds of navy shells one month after the Korean war started— with a lush profit paid to S. G.i Fassoulis and Miran Aprahamian, the £ percenters for the China lob- by. Fassoulis and Aprahamian, heads of the Commerce International Corporation, had Charles M. Cooke, Jr., together with 10 other retired Ameryan officers who are stationed on For- mosa, in the dual capacity of ad- visers to Fassoulis and Apraham- jan as well as advisers to Chiang Kai-Shek. They include Gen. R. L. Peterson, Cooke’s son-in-lay, Maj. C. F. Field; and did include Gen. O. T. Pfeifer and Adm. H. L. Grosskopf, all retired, The lat- ter two have now withdrawn. Arms Brokers One month after the Korean war started, and when the U. S Navy needed to conserve all its ammunition, Admiral Cooke in- duced MacArthur’ headquarters to sell 22,000 rounds of three-inch navy shells plus 40,000 rounds of 20-mm. shells and 40-mm. shells. The story given out at the time was that the shells were scrap, about to ke dumped into the sea. This, however, was not true. The price paid for the three-inch shells was $3 each—a bargain base- ment rate, because the original list surplus price was $36 each. But the interesting thing is that Fassoulis and Aprahamian got a 12 per cent commission on the deal Significant also is the fact that it was the U. S. Navy, not the Chinese Navy, which was guarding Formosa at the time. In view of the long transport across the Pa- tific, therefore, it was the U. S. Navy, not the Chinese, who stood to need reserve ammunition. 8. G. Passoulis, when queried by this column, admitted the facts but claimed the shells were defec- tive. 5 Note—Admiral Cooke is the of- ficer who, while commander of U. S. Naval forces in the western Pacific at the end of the war, used an LST boat to transport his auto to Shanghai to sell it on the black market. Naval enlisted men in Shanghai at that time were being jailed for selling cigarettes on the black market.

Invasion of Yugoslavia Is Indication By the Asscciated Press Foreign experts are beginning to wonder again if the Soviet states are getting ready for Yugoslav in- vasion. Premier Tito has been hav- ing increasing trouble on his border —frontier shootings and spy activ- ities by his pro-Russian neighbors. And there's an old Balkan adage that “wars begin when the crops are in.” No the fall crops are gathered Yugoslavia and the Comin- form countries appear only a shori step from actual war. August Was Dry Menth, Says Report The following weather informa- tion was released by the U.S Weather Bureau. Although the month of August had more cioudi- ness and less sunshine than is nor- mally expected, the total rainfall for the month was the dryest August record since the station was esta- blished in 1943. Measurable amount of rain fell on 18 days. The tem- perature averaged nearly three de- grees per day above the normal. Airport data: Highest temperature: 78 in 1950; this August 76.
