NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Saturday, December 1, 1951 POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS—1951 Political mortality ran higher in 1951 than it has in many years. In the first ten months of this year, nine prominent persons have been victims of assassins in French Indo-China, British Malaya, Pakistan, Jor- dan, Iran and Lebanon. Not so long ago, Mohandas K. Gandhi, of India, fell to an asssassin and so did Count Bernadotte of Sweden, who was working in Palestine for the United Nations. A Puerto Rican extremist attempted the life of President Truman. There have been literally scorés of assassinations of high officials since World War II. The Com- munists are directly responsible for some of the kill- ings and they have inspired others. Nationalists and religious fanatics in some of the more backward countries who feel that they cannot wait for legal | process to solve their problems, make ideal dupes for the Communists. Fighting Communists in backward areas involves grave risks — including assassination. To tolerate Communism is even riskier. ’ COMMUNITY COOPERATION In the small town of Ridgeway, Missuuri, the dream of cvery schoolboy became a reality as it became evident that the schoolhouse was burning down. % What makes Ridgeway stand out, however, is the civic spirit which surged forward to meet this crisis. Clasees were set up for ;boys and girls in busingss establishments along Main Street. A special clection was held to approve a bond issue for con- structing a pew school and, in addition, the men of the community worked on a building to be used as a gymnasium and auditorium. Little Ridgeway met disaster, but the people of | that it sometimes takes serious trouble to discover the potential civic spirit the people of a community have. Ridgeway sets a good example for the people of Juneau. Working together, we are capable of ac- complishing almost anything. The members of a community, just like the members of a family, must stick together and work together if they are to realize the optimum resuit of their combined labors CONGRESS — 1952 There are mony indications that the next ses- sion of Congress which commences January 8, 1952, will be one of the shortest in years. Bith Democratic and Republican leaders in Washington say they want the second session of the 82nd Congress to adjourn in June. Although this desire is frequently expressed | in November and December, today’s political situation would indicate that the coming session may well be a short one. 4 Traditiorally, the Republicans meet first in poli- tical convention and their conclave is scheduled for June of 1952 at Chicago. The idea of many leaders in Congress is to seeck adjournment in time for G. O. P. members who are going to Chicago to get there —free from congressional demands. Certainly, the strong Taft bloc in Congress will press hard for the early close. The Democrats are due to meet a couple of weeks after the Republicans — also in Chicago. If the Democratic picture isn't any. clearer than it appears right now, a good many Democratic Congressmen will also be eager to get away from Washington by June. IT CAN HAPPEN HERE Civil Defense preparations are proceeding all too slowly in Alaska. In Juneau, particularly, public in- terest has lagged to an alarming degree. The old attitudes of laissez-faire and “it can’t happen here” are prevalent and, to date, efforts of Civil Defense authorities to spur the public into action have met with disappointing results. We may well be concerned. In an era where civilian populations have be- come commonplace targets for aerial attacks; in a territory directly in the path of possible attack forces; the cities that have efficient and well inte- grated civil defense organizations may be the cities that will survive. Every family should have at least one member thoroughly trained in first aid. Should disaster strike, Juneau’s doctors and nurses could not possibly care | for all the injured without competent help. And it is up to the citizens of Juneau to supply that help. The American Red Cross offers first aid and home nursing courses for the express purpose of pro- viding Juneau with a nucleus of well trained personnel —able and ready to assist in time of emergency. The courses are offered gratis and cost only the time and enrgy required to attend the classes. This canl be your opportunity to render valuable service to your community and to your own family. Moreover, accepting this training is a civic obligation that must be met if Juneau’s defense program is to succeed. In the event of enemy attack, Juneau's children, | o1d people and injured must look to us for care and protection. We cannot let them down. Take advantage of this opportunity to serve your- | self and your city. - Enroll for one of the Red Cross courses today. Don't delay—call Mrs. Kenneth Clem at 883 — or, better yet, stop in and see her at Room 3 \garnered 11 for Ridgeway rose above that disaster. —_— The Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) with CARE picked a Catholic at- torney, John A, Zvetina of Chicago, who speaks the language and who made a thorough survey of Yugo- slavia last Scptember to see wheth- er CARE food packages were dis- tributed fairly as between Catholic and non-Catholic, Communist and non-Communist. He returned with a highly favorable report. Despite this, it was only natur- al that the continued incarcera- tion of Archbishop Stepinac should rankle many Catholics in this country. In releasing him, however, Tito faced a domestic problem which, I regret to say, was comparable per- haps to that of Senator Russell of | Georgia if he were suddenly to re- verse himself- and vote for the FEPC for southern Negroes. For in Orthodox Serbia the religious mas- sacres that took place under Hitler, and for which Archbishop Steuinac was imprisoned, still cause great bitterness. It is charged that 700,- 00 Serbs were killed in these church massacres because they refused to desert the Orthodox faith. What complicated Tito's political problem was that Serbia is that part of the Yugoslavia confedera- tion where he is least popular, where he has to gain strength rather than lose it. In Serbia, Arch- bishop Stepinac has become a burn- ing, bitter symbol. Thus Tito, while winning friends in the US.A., knew that he would have to make some enemies at home. The fact remains that, despite these misunderstandings, Yugosla- via is more vital to the military de- fense of the Vatican than any other country in the world. For, should Red armies take the Adriatic coast of Yugoslavia, it would be only a short time before Italy must come under Moscow's Wing. ACHESON’S EAR PLUGS When Secretary of State Ache- son first arrived in Paris, he found his room over an entrance where the loudspeaker below was busy, day and night, calling chauffeurs and their cars. Sleep was some ear plugs. impossible, | and Mrs. Acheson went out to buy | Perhaps it is true | in the Shattuck |she came back to find him trying to swallow them. He thought they were sleeping pills! Note—At Paris, Acheson has again been talking about resigning. Phys- ically tired from the long-winded | diplomatic debates, discouraged {over the lack of UN progress, Dean has forcefully realized that cvery | politician arriving in Paris beats a track to Eisenhower’s door, while | virtually ignoring the Secretary of | State. Feeling that he is a lia; bility, Acheson has been talking of handing in his resignation so as to be out of the way before the political campaign gets started. WILSON'S PRODUCTION Appointment of Roger L. Putnam to the key job of Economic Stabili- zer is the first sign that the White |House is getting fed up with De- fense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson; also that Truman is listening to new Democratic Chairman Frank McKinney. Wilson had been telling associates that he would name the new Eco- nomic Stabilizer. He was particu- larly anxious to name him because (it was the friction between Wilson |and Eric Johnston that caused the | latter’s resignation. Despite this, | the President put in his own man. Furthermore, the Democrat he |named, ex-Mayor Putnam of Spring- |field, Mass., is a friend of Demo- | cratic Chairman McKinney. The !two worked closely together in the office of War Contract Negotiation, both are bank officials, and Putnam is also president of the Package Machinery Co., a director of the Perkins Machine and Gear Co, and the Van Norman Co. He also | has the unique distinction of being | the sole trustee of the Lowell Ob- | servatory of Flagstaff, Ariz. | The President got to know Char- |les E. Wilson when he was vice | chairman of the old War Produc- tion Board, at which time Truman was chairman of the Senate Invest- igating Committee. Wilson, however, didn't have to take the brickbats and the responsibilities Chairman Donald Nelson did. Now that he is in the No. 1 spot, he hasn't been able either to stand the gaff or get out production. Real fact is that U. S. military production is so bad that it can hardly be published.

Both teams played well and the game was closer than the score indicates, the Country Club failed to take advantage of many scor- ing opportunities which could have helped their cause considerably. The first quarter was even but Mikes pulled away steadily during the next three periods and were never pressed. The scoring was well balanced on Mikes with Jones, Floberg, Bon- nett and Merritt, scoring 9, 9, 8 and 8 points respectively.
