Browder and Field
Both Drnv Budenz
to
Testimony Charges I
(Continued from Page One
that the communists exercised
disciplinary power over Latti
more. '
A former righ-ranking army in
telligence officer followed Budenz
to the stand and bluntly disputed
that Lattimore was a communist.
Lattimore, a Johns Hopkins
university professor, has flatly
denied McCarthy’s charges against
him. He withheld comment on
Budenz’s testimony, but is ex
pected to make a formal reply at
a public hearing next week.
The inquiry into McCarthy’s
assertions that communists and
fellow travelers have infested the
state department is being handled
by a Senate foreign relations sub
committee.
Budenz said that Browder, for
mer head, of the communist party
in the United States, “referred to
Lattimore as a communist.”
In New York, Browder replied
that he never made any such ref
erence to Lattimore, and added:
“I don’t think I ever discussed
Mr. Lattimore in my life with
any-one.”
Also in New York, Field put
out a statement calling Budenz’s
accusations against him “a shame
less and slanderous lie.” Budenz
testified that he knew Field as a j
communist leader and a Sovietj
agent.

A MESSAGE TO ALASKANS—
— - I — A
Ladies and Gentlemen;
Fellow Alaskans All:
Tuesday, April 25th, the date
set by law for our 1950 Primary
Elections, will soon be here, and
undoubtedly a great many of you
have been asking of yourselves,
and of each other, “Who are these
candidates for Commissioner of
Labor on the Republican Party
ticket? What do they represent?
What have they done? What do
they offer us?”
Well, briefly, I am one of the
candidates for Corpmissioner of
Labor: RAY BEACH, of Juneau;
43 years of age; a 12-year resident
of Alaska; married, the father of
four children; a retired enlisted
man from the U. S. Navy, in
which I served over 22 years, in
cluding all of World War II. I am
a member of the Alaska Territo
rial Employees’ Local Union No.
1279, of the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal
Employees, which is affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor.
I have filed for the office of
Commissioner of Labor because
I am interested in good govern
ment, because I was formerly con
nected with the Territorial De
partment of Labor, in which I
worked for nearly two years, be
coming quite familiar with the
normal functions of that Depart
ment in matters pertaining to la
bor relations, the protection of
our workers, and particularly of
our women and children, in in
dujg&ry; the enforcement of our
wage paymwit laws; benefits for
iniured workmen under our Alas
ka Workmen’s Compensation Act;
the training of our youth under
apprenticeship programs which
will enable them to obtain gainful
and constructive employment in
Alaskan industries and businesses,
and the compilation of statistics
relative to cost of living and
wages and other matters which
are of invaluable assistance to
I employers, labor organizations,
governmental agencies and other
professional and private citizens
interested in the development of
our economy.
Numerous employers and labor
organization officials, and hun
dreds of workers can testify to the
fact that the correspondence files
of the Department of Labor are
replete with testimonials to my
interest and participation in these
matters, and especially to my ef
forts and efficiency in the settle
ment of labor disputes between
unions and employers, and of
wage disputes between employees
and employers.
My friends, as a responsible
private citizen, and as a member
of the Republican Party, I felt
compelled to file for the office
which I seek—that of Territorial
Commissioner of Labor. 1 feel, in
fact I know, that I can give you a
more diligent, a more intelligent,
a more efficient, a more effective,
and# yet economical, administra
tion of the Department of Labor
than has prevailed in the past. I
believe that an administration
such as I offer you is absolutely
necessary in an expanding and
fruitful Alaska economy because
the affairs of this Department,
particularly in the field of labor
relations, in the maintenance of
industrial harmony, are inextric
ably interwoven with that econ
omy. In this connection, I invite
your attention to the labor planks
suggested by me to the recent
Caucus of the Republican Party
at Juneau; which planks were
adopted by the unanimous con
sent of that convention for incor
poration in the 1950 Platform for
the Republican Party of Alaska:
“Maintenance of a full-time, in
telligent and effective administra
tion of our labor laws for the ben
efit of both labor and industry in
order that industrial peace may
constantly prevail. The support of
preferential employment for resi
dent Alaskan workers in both pri
vate industry and governmental
service.”
Ladies and gentlemen: If you
voters of Alaska see fit to return
me victorious at the polls in the
Primary Election on April 25th„
and in the General Election of Oc
tober 2nd, you may rest assured
that as your Commissioner of La
bor: (1) I shall employ competent
and efficient personnel in order
that the functions of your Depart
ment of Labor may be carried out
strictly in accordance with the
laws governing this Department;
(2) I shall do my utmost to fairly
and impartially preserve the in
dustrial peace, and in the event of
disputes between unions and em
ployers, or between unions, I shall
place at the disposal of the dis
putants all of the conciliation and
mediation facilities of my Depart
ment; (3) I shall honestly and
forthrightly present to the Legis
lature the appropriation needs of
my Department, to the maximum
benefit of both the workers and
the taxpayers of the Territory. (4)
I shall not incite class against
class or union against union; nor
j shall I display partiality in inter
union disputes; and, finally,
though somewhat premature, (5)
should I seek reelection in 1954,
it shall be wholly unnecessary for
me to campaign vigorously, either
at my own expense or at the ex
pense of you taxpayers, for I shall
have rendered to you during my
entire tenure of office, through
the medium of the public press
and union publications, a month
ly report of what has been ac
complished by your Commission
er, and Department of Labor.
I thank you.
RAY BEACH,
Republican, for Commissioner
. of Labor, 1950.
