NATION. Pourth Av of this function from its beginning poifited out that the demand for marine safety in- creased with every marine disaster and cited some of the best known of these tragedies. In each case, he described the cause of the disaster and the cor- rective measures taken to prevent similar losses The commander went on to state that the prob- lems presented by the hearing witnesses were not| insoluble and that he was in accord with Repres(‘l\-‘ tative Bonner’s statement that a satisfactory solution | would be reached. Amplifying his remarks, he assured the group that the solution would be satisfactory to| all concerned and that neither marine safety nor economic development would be impaired. Captain G. W. Callbeck of the 12th Coast Guaifl District, who participated in the Coast Guard hem‘-l ings, spoke briefly, expressing approval of the atti- | tude displayed by witnesses and hinted that a sat- isfactory solution would be forthcoming. He intimated that the Commandant was sympathetic to Southeast Alaska problems and added that Delegate Bartlett, whom he described as a “powerful” man, was working Friday, October 26, 1951 SOLUTION IN SIGHT Most heartening words we have heard lately were of Commander Paul Savonis before the Juneau Commerce at yesterday's lupcheon those Chamber meeting At the close of the Coast Guard hearings Wednes- gloom prevailed among most of the witnesses. had been heard, but the decision was still up in the air, the offending regulations were still in force and many felt that, while they had effectively stated their premises and successfully re- futed Coast Guard contentions, they had created little of day, Their testimony good will for early assistance to the vessel operators. He added, “I am sure your efforts will not be totally in vain.” EISENHOWER \ I\LY MAN The people of the United States may not be aware of the magnificent job that General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Atlantic Com- mander, is doing in Europe, where he enjoys the confidence and admiration of the leflders of the group of nations planning a combined defense against Russian aggression. Talk of General Eisenhower’s political prospects in the United States fills many officials in the United States with trepidation. They regard him as indispensable and pay tribute to his tact, forceful- ness and experience. Certainly, he has made great progress in bringing about the satisfactory formation of a European army The LY. to assert that the job that the General is domg in T all the welter of statements, charges and rebuttals, the only point on which all parties agreed was that safety regulations were necessary and de- sirable, despite implications to the contrary. Most were hopeful that the Commandant would give careful and impartial consideration to the tran- seript of the proceedings, but few felt any assurance Europe is more important than the Presidency. One Belgian General, quoted by a newspaper correspondent, says that Americans would recognize this if the Russians were sitting on the Mexican border and General Eisenhower was trying to unite forty-eight different states to resist them.

This is the rea- son why the elections committee has been teetering back and forth trying to make up its mind about a real probe of the Ohio election. Senator Taft made what is now considered a serious error by de- manding that the Ohio campaign be investigated. What he had in mind was the large amounts of money spent by labor against him. But what preliminary investiga- tion turned up was: 1. Around $2,000,000 poured in by all sorts of people to support him. 2, An anti-Catholic campaign against his Democratic opponent, Jumping Joe Ferguson, a Catholic. Highlight of this campaign was a letter, dated Oct. 3, 1950, signed by Rev. F. R. Stoneburner of Day- ton, a Lutheran, and widely circu- lated throughout Ohio. It read: “Dear Brethren: Please accept this letter merely as a matter of information. It should be known that Mr. Joseph Ferguson, who is running against Senator Robert A. Taft, is Roman Catholic. “Knowing the efforts of the Ro- man Church to get an official representative to the Vatican and its euforts to get public aid for parochial schools, I thought it equit- able to pass this information on to you for what it is worth. “Of course you know that our Congressman, Edward Breen, is Ro- man Catholic and that he favors public aid for parochial schools. “It is a mistaken public idea that Governor Frank Lausche is Roman Catholic. He was raised in an orthodox church. His family | goes 1o a Methodist Church. He has | never been a Roman Catholic. These are the facts as I have been | able to ascertain them. “For the authenticity of this let- | ter, contact the Lutheran pastor in your community or Rev. F. R. Stoneburner, 201 Commercial St., Dayton, Ohio. | “If you wish the members of | your congregation to receive copies of this letter, please send such list to post office box No. <224, Green- ville, 0.” | GILLETTE WORRIES ‘ When Taft first demanded a probe of his campaign, the Senate elections subcommittee voted 4 to 1 for it, including the two Repub- lican members, Mrs, Smith of Maine and Hendrickson of New Jersey. The only man who voted against it was timid Senator Gillette of Iowa, Democrat. Hcwever, when the elections com- mittee picked Robert Murphy, an A0 Lhgia R, | Skagway, experienced investigator and a Catholic, as its counsel, Rep. Clar- ence Brown of Ohio, a Taft leader, blocked the appointment. He would not let a special bill okaying Mur- phy get through the House. For weeks now the Ohio probe has hung fire. Committee investi- gators in Ohio have reported that Taft forces officially chalked up $2,066,592.14 as their total expen- | diture, but a sampling has revealed additional amounts spent by county and city groups. One Taft organi-| zation, “labor’s league for Taft,” was organized not by labor but by J. Eugene Carr, ex-president of the Canton Chamber of Commerce and adio_executive. ith a full year passed since Taft’s election, harassed and har- ried Chajrman Gillette finally set November 19 as the date for a hear- ing. How far it will go remains to be seen. WASHINGTON PIPELINE Government expenses: A mere clerk at the army hospital in Tokyo {rides back and forth to work ev- ery day in a navy limousine. She is Mollie Joy, daughter of Adm. Turn- er Joy, chief UN truce negotiator. . . .Senator Benton of Connecticut is one man who never listens to the radio. As an advertising exe- cutive, he invented some of radio’s first techniques—applause by a live audience, drinking coffee in a com- mercial, putting Fred Allen in front of a live background. Now he says he wants to forget radio. . .The House of Representatives postmaster must have been thinking of the fa- mous letter Gen. Douglas MacAr- thur wrote to House GOP leader Joe Martin when he received a let- ter addressed “Repr. MacArthur, Washington, D. C.” Anyway, the postmaster sent it to Joe Martin's office. It turned out to be’for Demo- cratic Congressman Eugene Mec- Carthy (not Joe) of Minnesota, and Martin passed it on. . .Bill Boyle, retiring chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee, is sick= er than realized and may require an operation. . .The Air Force is | begging for skilled manpower. La- bor, however, is reluctant to sign up for what might be temporary jobs, unless all-out war explodes. The Air Force counters that it wrote $15,000,000,000 worth of con- tracts during 1944, the peak year of World War II. In fiscal 1952, it will write $16,500,000,000, while we're at | peace—allegedly. Jack, Small of the munitions board has worked out a deal whereby rockets will be made of plastics and fibreglass in- | stead of aluminum, thus saving the nation 36,000,000 pounds of alumin- um per year. . .The British have actually started to buy oil from the Russians in eastern Austria to make up for the oil lost in Iran. Signifi- cantly, the Russians sought out the British and offered to sell the |0il even though they are desper- lately short themselves. Reason: | The needed d currency. MRS.
