WASHINGTON, (/P)—The U. S.
court of appeals has reaffirmed
its ruling that government loyal
ty board procedures are constitu
tional.
At the same time, in a 2-1 deci
sion, it rejected claims by 26 post
office department employees that
they were victims of racial and
religious discrimination and of
decisions based “solely” on guilt
by association. The group includes
12 Negroes and eight Jews, from
Cleveland, Philadelphia, Detroit,
New York City and Plainfield, N.
J. The 26 brought a civil suit in
district court heer after receiv-!
ing loyalty board “notices of pro- I
posed removal action.” The no
tices said the board had found
reasonable grounds for belief that
they were disloyal to the United
States.

McCarthy Still
*(ioin«* to Produce*
His Witnesses
WASHINGTON, </P) — Senator
McCarthy (R.-Wis.) announced
yesterday that he will ask Sen
ators investigating his charges of
communists in the government to
subpoena two former FBI agents.
He said one of the FBI men be
came a member of the communist
party in order to carry on “under
cover” work.
McCarthy told reporters he
would give the names of the two
men to Edward P. Morgan, coun
sel for the Senate foreign rela
tions investigating subcommittee
later in the day.
He declined to disclose the iden
tity of either man. It was under
stood that both witnesses would
testify in connection with McCar
thy’s charges that Owen Latti
more is Russia’s top agent in this
country.
Lattimore, a Johns Hopkins un
iversity professor, has labeled
McCarthy’s charges “pure moon
shine" and called the Senator an
unmitigated liar.
Lattimore told the committee
under oath he is not a commun
ist and never has been one.
Louis Budenz, former commun
ist editor, is to appear before the
committee Thursday at the re
quest of McCarthy to testify in ;
the Lattimore case.
ALASKA FISHERIES BOARD
MEETS IN JUNEAU
The members of the Alaska ;
Fisheries Board are meeting in
Juneau April 17 to 19 for their an- j
nual spring meeting,, it was an
nounced by C. L. Anderson, exec
utive director of the board.
A feature of the meeting will be
the joint session with representa- i
tives of the Alaska Development
Board, the Fisheries Experimental j
Commission of Alaska and the
Fish and Wildlife Service for a
discussion of problems of mutual
concern to the four agencies. By
proper correlation and under
standing of the over-all fisheries
program in the Territory, the pos
sibility of an overlapping or dup
lication of efforts can be avoided.
In addition to the election of of
ficers for the ensuing year the
Fisheries Board will review the
activities of the Department of
Fisheries since the last meeting in
November, 1949; receive a finan
cial report on teh first year’s op
j eration; and adopt a budget for
i the fiscal year April 1, 1950 to
March 31, 1951.

Demos Will Tell
GOP What They
Are Going To Do
WASHINGTON, (VP)—President
Truman and secretary of state
Acheson yesterday offered assur
ances that Republicans will be
kept informed and their views so
licited in an effort to establish “a
true bi-partisan foreign policy.
In a statement issued after call
ing Senator Bridges <R.-N. H.> to
the White House for an unsual
conference, the President declar
ed:
“With the problems facing the
United States in the field of for
eign relations it is most important
that every effort be made to main
tain a true bi-partison foreign
policy.
“It will be my purpose as well
as that of Secretary Acheson not
only to keep the members of the
minority currently informed, but
to solicit their views, and take
them into serious account in both
the formulation and implementa
tion of our foreign policy.”
First word of the new efforts
to re-build the bi-partison foreign
policy framework came when
Bridges emerged from the White
House conference with Mr. Tru
man and Acheson.
A MESSAGE TO ALASKANS—
Ladies and Gentlemen;
Fellow Alaskans All:
Tuesday, April 25th, the date
set by law for our 1950 Primary j
Elections, will soon be here, and
undoubtedly a great many of you ,
have been asking of yourselves,
and of each other, “Who are these j
candidates for Commissioner of
Labor on the Republican Party
ticket? What do they represent?
What have they done? What do j
they offer us?”
Well, briefly, I am one of the
candidates for Commissioner of
Labor: RAY BEACH, of Juneau;
43 years of age; a 12-year resident j
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
i
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- j
bor relations, the protection of
our workers, and particularly of
our women and children, in in
dustry; the enforcement of our
wage payment laws; benefits for
injured 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
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
j dreds of workers can testify to the
1 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
i forts and efficiency in the settle
ment of labor disputes between
1 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. I 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
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
ihe 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.
