McGrath’s father was a promin- cnt member of the Knights of Col- umbus and one of his father’s jobs was to handle K.C. insurance. So, through his father, young Howard got to know most of the Irish in; the small state of Rhode Island. On top of this, Howard married the daughter of the leading French- Canadian, Estelle Cadorette, one of the loveliest ladies now in the Ldb-: inet. There is a heavy French pop- | vlation in Rhode Island, and the marriage didn't hurt him at all with the French voters SHREWD PARTNERSHIP | In addition, McGrath formed a law partnership with the leading New England blue blood of (‘12! state, Theodore Francis Green, one of the most courageous members | of the U. S. Senate. It may have been pure accident, or it may have been—as the poli- ticians say—because the Italian pop- ulation is heavy in Rhode Island, but McGrath also formed a politi- cal partnership with John Pastore, Italian-American governor® of the state, who took McGrath's seat in the Senate when he became At- torney General. | With this ar of nationalities behind him, nobody could lose in Rhode Island, and Howard has gone a long way.

There was nothing "illegal | about this, but when the man you are working for once drew a $15.- | 000 salary merely for being a fi ure-head on a large tax-avoidance scheme, it doesn’t encourage his| subordinates to push tax prosecu- tion. Those who work in the Justice Department also know that Mc- Grath long has been part-owner | of the Lincoln Downs race track.| And while he has absolutely no| part in the gambling surrounding this activity, it’s only natural that | some of the A. G.s subordinates| should not feel too cmh\mu,uc‘ about cracking down on gambling i Undoubtedly there is no connec- tipn, but they also know that the | I | U.

DECEMBER 6, 1931 —— Under the leadership of George Beck, superintendent of the public i school in Petersburg, a public library was being started there. Juneau was rocked early this morning by an earthquake-like tremor that rattled dishes and windows, but was a mere man-made shock, the result of the biggest “shot” ever set off in the Alaska Juneau mine. Forty thousand pounds of powdér were fired in the shot, and it was estimated the explosion broke down 750,000 tons of rock. Young John Alstead had his adenoids removed at St. Ann's Hos- pital, and Dis only worry was £hat he would miss the skating before warm rains set in. The steamer Admiral Evans was in port, bound from Kodiak and Seward via Sitka to Seattle. She had aboard a large cargo of canned, salted and mild-cured fish from westward ports, and loaded gold ore cencentrates here. L. L. Trimble, W. K. Keller and Thomas Thibodeau were among passengers disembarking here. The Estebeth left the previous evening with Christmas cargo for Sitka and way ports, including Funter and Chichagof. Mirs. Jennie Parker was a guest at the Hotel Zynda. Elks of Juneau held their annual Lodge of Sorrow this afternoon, with an appropriate program arranged for the occasion.
