Wednesday, October 17, 1951 JUDGE FOLTA AND HIS CRITICS The action of the Senate judiciary committee in approving the .nomination of Judge George W. Folta for reappointment to the First Division judge- ship comes as welcome news' to the majority of Alaskans.

Its function is to review | cases tried in the lower courts and in the exercise | of that function it is, in fact, a critic of those | courts. Since it is empowered to sustain or reverse | findings of the district courts, its decisions constitute | fair appraisals of their judges. : Since Foltas appointment, he has rendered a number of decisions. Ten of these have been ap- pealed and brought before the San Francisco court Nine have been upheld; the tenth reversed — with a minority opinion. In baseball parlance, Folta’s bat- ting average is .900 — an exceptional rfcol'd. The conclusions are obvious. In' effect, the Court of Appeals has endorsed Folta’s ability, char- Tin horn politicians and convicts Need we say more? Alaskans may well proud of George Folta They are assured that justice will be served in his court, political considerations notwithstanding. Folta's reappointment is a pledge to the people that they may expect honest and impartial judicial services for another four be cars.

Each of the three nations recognizes armed attack, in the Pacific arca Yy “dangerous to its own peace” Because Zealand were ap- raints in the a that an of them and that on in accordance with constitutional processes. This treaty must be ratified by the United States tion by the Senate is virtually assured. During the past few weeks, a determined effort to unseat the' judge was made by a small and un- distinguished group of disgruntled individuals Iromj other divisions. The men, five in number, who were named in this newspaper several days ago, are de- | scribed accurately as also-ran politicians and lawyers | who have found Folta’s adherence to law and justice | | distasteful — both to themselves and to their clients. In attempting to oust Folta, they have succeeded only in further discrediting themselves. In each case, per- | sonal reasons are ascribed to their protests—personal | reasons which have become common knowledge throughout the Territory. Their motives are selfish, their stature small and they merit no further mention | in these columns. | This is not the first time we have encountered criticism directed at Judge Folta. Several months ago, the jurist was castigated in the columns of a publication’ called the “Island Lantern.” However, since the “Island Lantern” is edited and pubhsned{ by the inmates of the Federal Penitentiary at Mec- Neil Island, the judge's unpopularity in that quarter Senate, but there is little doubt but that the Senate will take favorable action. Accordingly, it might be well to review the security commitments of the United States in the present-day world. In addition to the task of defending its continental area and outlying possessions, the United States is also bound to: (1) Defend its occupation forces in Germany, l-Japan and Austria. (2) Assist in implementing United Nations obli- gations to oppose .aggressors throughout the W d. (3) Under the Rio Treaty, to act with the other American Republics in defense of the Western hemi- sphere. (4) Under the North Atlantic Treaty to join its | associated powers in protecting a part of the w»m[ stretching from the North Cape to the shores of | Africa.

(This col- umn has been advised that the ex- act atomic expansion should not| be made public.) “How much of your last year's appropriation went into bombs? How many bombs do we have?” de- manded the Tennessee Senator. “A very substantial amount,” par- ried Dean. “That does not answer the ques- tion,” exploded McKellar. “How much has gone into bombs?” SECRET AMOUNTS OF URANIUM “Let me say this,” Chairman Dean tried to soothe the old man. “Ev- erything in the way of fissionable | material ‘which is produced in our | whole program goes into bombs. It is stored there, and if you want it out and later use else, you.can use it. But today it goes right into bombs.” “What is the process of deter-| joration?” broke in McCarran. =~ “There is no deterioration,” Dean reported. McCarran then changed the sub- | ject from the exact number of bombs to the exact number of car- loads of uranium ore that goes in- to each homb. Dean tried to evade the question, which is also top secret. But McCarran, who repre- sents a western mining region, kept hammering until Dean finally gave | him the secret figure. Later McKellar got back to the number of bombs again. “Now we made you trustees last year, and we appropriated all of this money for you. Sure you can| tell us what you have done with| it,” persisted the aged Tennesseean. “It has gone into bombs,” repeat- ed Dean. it somewhere | Per in one man's eyes would ke »my difierent in anotner man's eyes, snorted McKellar. “You are asking us to furnish you all of these sums is what have you done with the last year's money we have given you.” | “Last year's money, as I tried to indicate, on plant and equipment . the Atomic chairman started to explain. “That doesn’t mean a thing in the world to me,” bellowed McKel- lar. “I think you should answer the Senator’s question,” chimed in Mc- Carran eagerly. “The gaseous diffusion plants 1nd | piles have been the large expansion . . .” Dean began again. “Thal doesn't give us any infor- mation,” blurted - McKellar. “What have you got to show for it? How many bombs do you have?” “It is coming out of those plants, Senator,” Dean declared firmly. “We do not know about it, and you are willing to tell us, and you |are not willing to take us into your confidence,” McKellar raged. “Why should we take you into our confi- |dence when you will not take us |into yours?” But Dean held his ground and re- fused to divulge the priceless secret. Note—Only one Senator is allowed to know the number of atomic bombs this country possesses. He is Chairman Brien McMahon of the Joint Congressional Atomic Energy | Committee. Otherwise, the secret is limited to President Truman, the Atomic Energy Commissioners and |a few select atomic and defense officials, who must use the informa- tion in their planning.

Wood plans to leave tomorrow by PAA to take| the proposition of veterans' loans| up with the Seattle office. According to Wood, actual hard- ship instead of relief has been the outcome of extending the direct loan benefits to veterans in Alaska, “due to the handling of funds in such a manner that Alaska is actually by- | passed in the division of the loan monie: Wood further charges that “vet- erans by the hundreds have been allowed and encouraged to file ap- plications for direct loans for hous- ing in this critical area but the national VA administration has allotted only enough for ten maxi- mum loans in Alaska, or about $100,000. “The original appropriation by Congress was $150,000,000,” Wood said. “On June 30, 1951, $39,000,000 of this money was still available and was being put out in non-competi- tive loans to, qualified veterans within 45 days of application. Then all loans stopped until an extension of time was arranged by Congress.” “When loans were again adver- tised as available, both veterans and home sellers made plans to arrange housing as previously.

If Alaska doesn’t get a fair share of the loan money soon, these vets will have to move out and again take their wife and kids to the hotels.” Inquiry of E. K. Lincoln, director Veterans Administration, regarding Wood’s charges against the national VA reveals that Alaska’s allotment | of $100,000 is about ten times its| share on a basis of dollar per vet- eran. Also, according to Lincoln, ap-| peals for an increased allptment for | Alaska have been made by the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and by the Governor's Office.
