Anderson’s Succes
sor A Mystery
WASHINGTON, (A*)—President
Truman was said today to have
turned dov^n suggestions that he
put a southerner in his cabinet.
Between now and July Mr. Tru
man must pick a successor to
Clinton Anderson. Anderson will
quit as secretary of agriculture as
soon as Congress ends to run for
the Senate in New Mexico.
Some administration lieutenants
were said to have suggested that
the President might cool off the
southerners bucking his civil
rights program by picking an out
sanding agricultural leader from
south of the Mason and Dixon line
to succeed Anderson.
But Mr. Truman was reliably
reported to have vetoed this as an
obvious—and probably ineffective
I —gesture that might boomerang
outside the south. The guessing—
and it is only that—is that the of
fice will go to a midwestemer.
Attorney general Clark is the
onlytsoutherner now serving as a
member of the President’s official
family.
Sen ator Sparkman (D.-Ala.)
told a reporter he thinks Dixie
would be pleased if it got some
recongition in the cabinet.
Waller Schroeder, of the U. S.
Weather Bureau who has been in
Fairbanks on business for the past
week returned home Sunday by
Pan American Airways.

Gottwald Blames
West For Foreign
Minister’s Death
—
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, (/P)—
Jan Masaryk received the last
rites of state Saturday as Presi
dent Eduard Benes wept at his
bier.
In the vaulted Pantheon of the
national museum, draped in black,'
communist premier Klement Gott
wald made the main funeral ora
tion, berating the critics of Ma
saryk in the west and indirectly
accusing them of the foreign min
ister’s death.
Benes talked for an hour with
i Jan Masaryk Tuesday night. The
next morning Masaryk’s body was
found below a window of Czerin
Palace, the foreign ministry office.
The Communists, who seized
power two weeks ago, said Ma-1
saryk committed suicide*
Benes kept his head bowed
while Gottwald spoke the funeral
oration. He showed no emotion
when Gottwald called press at
tacks in the western nations the
reasons for a nervous illness which
I
brought Masaryk’s death.
“I can prove that Jan Masaryk
clearly and without compromise J
agreed with the action program of
the new government and already!
started to fulfill this program
within his sphere of influence,” j
Gottwald said.
“I can prove that Masaryk, who
decided to go with the people,'
when he stood on the crossroads [
of our nation’s fate, meant what
he said.”
Then he indirectly blamed Ma

Issues Blasts At
Gov. Gruening
(Continued from Page One)
Alaska legislature (including a
special session in 1946) Gruening
had many opportunities to foster a
sound legislative program for the
Territory and failed to do so.
“The governor tried to promote
tax legisation not acceptable to
members of the legislature with
the result that the Territory’s fi
nances are now as near complete
disorganization as have ever been
seen.
“Gruei\ing’s continual contro
versies with the legislature can
not be ascribed to party politics.
In each session except the last the
composition of the legislature has
been overwhelmingly Democratic.
“In his relations with the legis
lators, the Governor has ignored
the fact that they are the elected
representatives of the people and
must be presumed to be carrying
out the wishes of the voters who
placed tBem in office.”
saryk’s friends in the west for the
foreign minister’s death saying:
“Whoever knew the character
of Jan Masaryk knew how sensi
tive he was toward personal at
tacks; must understand how diffi
cult it would be for Jan Masaryk
to get this concentrated attack on
his deepest feelings and his
nerves.
“To this comes his illness, and
taking together these facts, we get
the circumstances that drove him
to his tragic end.”
