Senator Charges
Moral Corruption
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Senator
Fulbright declared today that
moral corruption beyond the reach
of the law is eating away the
foundations of American demo
cracy. He called for revival of the
precepts of the Pilgrims and
founding fathers.
The Arkansas Democrat who
heads the sensation-packed probe
of the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration (RFC) said it was not a |
condition to be remedied by poli
ticians or policemen. He said it
calls for the wisdom of the nation’s
most respected private citizens
acting as a commission on nation
al morality and backed by an in
dignant public.
In a speech prepared for Sen-1
ate delivery, Fulbright offered a j
list of ten names of jurists, educa
tors, religious leaders, a labor
chief, and a former Senator as
men of “integrity beyond re
proach” who might make up such
a commission.

ARMY TO TRUCK FROM
MONTANA TO ALASKA
WASHINGTON, (yP)—The Sen
ate Banking Committee has re
ceived a report that the Army
Transportation Corps “has decid
ed to make permanent the truck
ing of supplies to Alaska from
Great Falls, Montana, due to its
economy as compared with rail
water costs.”
The Committee made this pub
lic in a report recommending Sen
ate passage of a $1,500,000 defense
housing bill Which will be de
bated next week.
Information for the report was
obtained from government depart
ments and from news dispatches.
Housing was reported inade
quate at Great Falls, partly due
to th£ trucking operations.
The Navy ■ punishment “keel
hauling,” used in the last century,
meant the offender was bound
hand and foot, weighted, then
drawn under the the ship’s bot
tom. If the bottom was covered
with bamicles, the torture was
extreme and often proved fatal.
