liET RESULTS i
Confirmation Seats
Gruening Firmly
In Saddle
•Confined from Page One>
Gruening witnesses said in Seattle
that he felt there was a good
chance of a committee vote
against the governor. He also pre
dicted Senator Cain «R.-Wash.)
would take up the fight against
Governor Gruening on the floor.
The governor’s supporters, like
wise. figured they had built a
strong case for the confirmation
during the Senate committee hear
ing.
What factors lead to the com
plete crumbling of the Senate op
position remained clouded, pend
ing more details from Washing
ton.
What does the unanimous con
firmation mean to the Governor's
Alaska administration?
One thing for certain: He is
more strongly seated in the ad
ministrative saddle than at an^
time in his nine years as Alaska *
chief executive.
The new triumph follows the
legislative session that saw many
of his long-standing proposals en
acted into law. They were topped
by what he has long described as
“a basic tax program.” embracing
the Territory’s first income and
general property tuxe* an 1 an ex
tension of the general busine*.
censes taxes.
His confirmation probably will
bring an intensification of the
drive for Alaskan statehood. Mr.
Gruening's supporters contended
at the Washington hearing that the
vocal opposition to the confirma
tion was coming from the oppon
ents of immediate statehood. They
linked the two issues.
Any rejection of the confirma
tion certainly would have been in
terpreted as a setback to the state
hood campaign. Likewise: the
unanimous confirmation certainly
will be haled by the proponents of
statehood as a boost for their
cause.
SIAMESE FIGHT
CORRUPTION
BANGKOK, iJP) — A ruthless
war to smash corruption among
Siamese government officials is to
be waged by the Peace Mainten
ance Corns, authoritative sources
say.
The corps, headed by Premier
Marshal Phibun Songwram, has
ordered all of its four divisional
branches to collect evidence of
corrupt practices by officials. The
commissions, to be composed of
military, police and civilians, will
be given power to act against
guilty officials.
As part of the campaign under
cover agents will operate in gov
ernment and police departments
to gather incriminating evidence.
SEES 50 YEARS OF
BRITISH BUILDING
LONDON. l/P)—Britain’s build
ing industry will have work to do
for 50 years to come.
R. Furneaux Jordan, principal
of the school of architecture of the
architectural association, says at
least 95 per cent of the nation’s
hospitals, theaters, hotels, and
railway stations will need rebuild
ing when housing and factories no
longer can claim priority.
“The actual building program
of the next half century must be
enormous, comparable to that of
the 19th Century,” he says.
Lingayen Gulf was one of the
chief landing spots of the Janan
ese when they stormed the Philip
pines in December 1941.
