LOG CABIN DELUXE
A HOLLOW LOG is the trailer home of Mr. and Mrs. S. J.
Arnold of Kelso, Wash. Arnold, a woodsman, gouged out his
unique log cabin with hand tools. It took him two years. It is
mounted on a truck chassis. Its seamless, varnished interior
0
gives Arnold his living while he is on the road. He charges
admission from the curious who want to peek at the inside. "I
never stop in big cities," says the woodcutter "Ties up traffic
too much. Besides big city people are too sophisticated. They
think it's a gag." His log is a 22-foot-long spruce, 10 feet across.
DRIVERS TOO SMART
VANCOUVER, Canada, UP)—A
driving instructor here suggested
that “dumber persons” make bet
ter drivers. “Once the dumb stu
dent grasps the mechanics of driv
ing he remembers them,” he said.
“It’s the brainy ones that give us
the trouble.”
It is going to take a
smart man to straight
en out 20 years of hit
& Misadministration.

HOLIFIELD SURE NO
GRAFT IN ANCHORAGE
DEFENSE WORK
ANCHORAGE, (ZP)—Rep. Chet
Holifield (D-Calif) expressed con
fidence Wednesday that the mul
ti-million-dollar defense construc
tion program in the Anchorage
area has been handled without
graft or corruption.
The congressman is chairman
of a House subcommittee investi
I gating government operations.
In an interview. Holifield ex
pressed these opinions on several
subjects:
It would be “fantastic” to ex
pect passage of statehood legisla
tion to give Alaska all public
lands and natural resources in the
territory, as he said Sen. Hugh
Butler (R-Neb) had suggested;
Construction of a self-liquida
ting hydro-electric project in the
Susitna Valley would be in ac
cordance with the Democratic
Party principles;
An aluminum project at Skag
way would be well worth the in
vestment of public land needed
for the proposed plant.
In considering legislation to
make public land available for
the aluminum project, the con
gressman said the main consid
eration will be for safeguards
against monopoly. He said oppor
tunity must be left open for all
fabricators on a free market.

Agree U.S. Has
“One-Parly Press”
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman said today Adlai Steven
son is right in saying the country
has a one-party press.
And Dwight D. Eisenhower is
wrong, he said, in declaring the
people are primarily interested in
a change of administration at
Washington.
»
What people are most concerned
about is peace, the President told
his news conference. He added
that Eisenhower is running as the
Republican candidate for presi
dent on a course that calls for an
“isolationist Congress” that would
n’t bring peace.
Stevenson has said his cam
paign, as the Democratic candi
date, runs into a situation in
which most newspapers are pro
ftepublican. That’s right, Truman
said, adding that it doesn’t seem
to make much difference because
the Democrats win anyway.
A reporter mentioned to tne
President that Stevenson had
•
pointed out that although the
newspapers may support the Re
publicans editorially most of them
are treating the political issues
fairly in their news columns.
Truman agreed with this and
added the fairness has been in
creased since Gov. Stevenson’s
remarks.
At the same time, Truman:
Refused to comment on Sen.
McCarthy’s victory in the Repub
lican Wisconsin senatorial pri
maries.
Said he had no comment on
the Democratic bolt threatened in
Texas.
HER PATIENCE MATCHED
' HOUSTON, (JP) — An angry
woman called Mayor Oscar Hol
combe at 1 a.m. yesterday to ask
“When are you going to move this
dead dog from in front of my
house?”
“Where do you live, lady,” the
mayor asked.
“I’m not going to tell you,” she
replied. “I’m just going to leave
it there and see how long it takes
for you to find it.”
The mayor related that he end
ed the conversation with, “Lady,
I’m sure I can stand that as long
as you can.”

AN ALASKAN REPUBLICAN
That whenever an Alaskan casts his vote for a Demo
cratic candidate, he endorses the Roosevelt and Truman
administrations. Both presidents employed and approved
of Alger Hiss, a court-proven friend of Russia, and now
in a Federal jail. Words of great praise were written by
Democratic Governor Stevenson for this same Alger Hiss.
President Truman personally declared war upon
North Korea—not Congress. President Truman seized the
the steel industry and was judged wrong and his act
illegal by the United States Supreme Court.
If, as good Alaskan citizens, you do not want this
kind of rotten government —
For a Change Vote Republican—Win with Ike
