UP PERISCOPE
The Empire can't pass up Lew Williams’ first
column in his Wrangell Sentinel since his summary
dismissal from the office of Secretary of Alaska with
out comment.
The ‘'catch" Mr. Williams says, speaking of liis
brief letter from President Truman, is this: that al
though Truman did the firing, the President and
Interior Secretary Oscar L. Chapman never saw Lew
Williams.
He continues: ».r
"The Interior Department, however, does control
most of Alaska and the ajan doing the controlling for
the last 11 years as the department's representative
is Governor Ernest Grueuing. Ernest is not a man
who takes no for ah answer. His policy is rule or
ruin regardless of the interests of Alaska. Then Mr
Williams promises that: he will have more to say about
that later.
He continues about the Department of Interior
—and we should say now that while we disagree with
Mr. Williams in his support of statehood, his points
are well taken:
"Interior has for ' a' ‘toftg time given lip service
to statehood for Alaska. It has even been able to
get the President to add his blessing. Meanwhile, the
department has followed an almost consistent policy
of defeating statehood.
"More and more cooperative canneries which are
financed by the federal government and as a result
pay no taxes to the Territory. More and more co
operative stores in direct competition with private |
enterprise. More and more reservations which arc
eliminated from possibilities of development, except
under government control, which usually means the
Department of the Interior. The point, of course,
is to win the favors of those who gain from gov
ernment generosity; the votes for control of the
Legislature, and thus omre control and on and on in
the vicious circle which makes Alaskans daily more
and more the serfs of government.
Statehood, yes. And the sooner the better, if
there is to be anything left on which to build a state.
Opponents of statehood argue the cost will be great,
and they have a point. But is any cost too great
to become American citizens with full rights, rather
than remaining colonists and wards of the Federal
government through Interior Department control.”
4H CLUB FAIR
We look forward with a great deal of interest
to the second annual 4M Club Fair to be held Sat
urday at Don Abel's place of business on Willoughby
Avenue.
Last year, the Fair was staged at the Armory
and the boys and girls from out the road put on a
sure enough county lair—one that surprised every
body. The exhibits of bake goods, arts and crafts,
preserves, vegetables and livestock were proof enough
that the 4H movement in the Channel area was well
under way."
The 4H movement in the states has shown the
way and some of the nation's most successful farm
ers attribute their success to the training they re
ceived through 4H. The same opportunity now exists
here.
Here in Alaska, and especially in the Juneau
area, agriculture is limited in scope and may be for
some time to come. However, the 65 boys and girls
who ae participating in 4H activities are learning
the practical things that will serve them in any
occupation.
Offhand, we don’t know of another group in the
Channel area that puts as much time and hard work
into youth activities as does the 4H membership and
their adult advisors. Nor do we know of any group
whose achievements have surpassed theirs.
Although the 4H group experienced a great deal
of difficulty in securing a suitable place to hold their
fair, preliminary reports have it that this one will be
bigger and better than the last.
To Don Abel goes a vote of thanks for per
mitting the fair to be held on his premises. With
out his cooperation, the event might have been
indefinitely postponed.
We hope that everybody in Gastineau Channel
will visit the fair and see what these boys and girl.1
have accomplished in the last twelve months.
The individual who practices intellectual honesty,
regardless of organizational affilation, is making
progress.
The Washington
Merry-WtauL-™ .
(.Continued from Page One)
out that the governor had made
quite a few speeches about taxes,
so was quite tax conscious.
Guard for Le May—The man the
Russians are supposed to fear most
is Lieut. Gen. Curtis Le May, com
mander of the B-36 squadrons at
Offut Field, Neb. He is the man
slated to direct the dropping of the
A-bombs over Moscow "in^-case of
war. . .The Air Force, therefore,
has wanted to put a special guard
on Le May, but he1 has 'objected. .
Since the assassination attempt on
President Truman, 'however, Air
Secretary Finlettqr has overruled
Le May and put a special sentry
at Offut Field’s officers’ quarters
with instructions to keep his eye
on Le May.
Republican Survey—A GOP scout
friendly to Eisenhower has just
finished a survey of Till hois, home
bailiwick of the Chicago Tribune's
Colonel McCormick and results
look good for Ike. . .Dope is that
Werner Schroeder, long-time GOP
National Committeeman and stanch
Tribune man, will be dropped. . .
The Colonel also appears to be
losing out in Cook Codnty (Chicago'
with Sinon Murray of Cicero likely
to become the local Republican
power. . .McCormick has been want
ing to shove ex-Sen. Curley Brooks
down the organizations throat as
governor, but won't succeed. Ex
Congressman William Stratton will
probably be the candidate instead.
However, even the Republicans
agree that it won’t be easy to defeat
popular Gov. Adlai Stevenson,
Democrat. Next GOP survey for
Elsenhower will be of Wisconsin.
Behind Iron Curtain—Reaction to
freedom balloon leaflets from Czech
oslovakia was a bit slow at first,
but is now snowballing. Czechs are
surreptitiously tackling leaflets up
on bulletin boards—even on offic
ial government boards—nailing
them on telegraph poles, and mim
eographing them. . .One bunch of
Czech Communists w«V - blezing
mad when each received a copy of
the freedom-friendship message
anonymously in the mail. . .The leaf
lets are making such inroads that
the official Communist paper Tvor
ba devoted one-half its front page
to a cartoon showing President
Truman passing out balloons to
Czech exiles. The exiles were Drs.
Zenkle, Majer and Peroutka, who
were dressed in medieval armor as
knights of yore and labeled ’’cru
saders ”. . .The cartoon, of course
was aimed at two things: 1. To
make the friendship balloons ap
pear as a U. S. government opera
tion; 2. To make the crusade lor
freedom appear as spurred on by
Czech exiles. . .Actually the cru
sade for freedom is backed by such
widely assorted Americans as Dan
Tobin of the Teamsters Union,
Frank Altschul of Lehman Brothers,
Gave Dubinsky of the Ladies' Gar-.
ment Workers, and Harold Stassen
' of the University of Pennsylvania
I. . .Eleven million leaflets were
dropped—enough for every third
man, woman and child in Czecho
| solvakia.
Monkey-wrench Congress — The
; heat of the tax debate has coined a
new name for this Congress—“The
monkey-wrench congress.". . .First
Congress threw a monkey-wrench
into the anti-inflation program—
at which time many Senators argued
that they would control inflation
later when the tax bill came around
. . .Now the same Senators have
thrown a monkey wrench into the
tax bill by opening up big loop
holes for special interests. . .In
other words, the Senators kicked
the lid off profits with one foot
via the controls bill, then eased the
taxes on these profits with the
other. Nothing could help inflation
more.
He Bet On Hirohito—In all the
Hosannas sung over the Japanese
peace treaty and the plaudits given
MacArthur, Acheson and Dulles,
one man who definitely deserved
a bow was not there. He is gaunt,
grizzled Joseph C. Grew, former
Ambassador to Japan. It was Joe
Grew who worked out the idea,
later followed by MacArthur, of
betting our money on Emperor Hiro
hito. Knowing their love of the Em
perior, Grew figured that the Jap
anese would follow Hirohito when
he decreed a surrender; and would
also lollow him if he gave the nod
to us in post-war Japan. Therefore,
he urged a policy of empcror-co
operation. . .Grew also knew Hiro
hito was a modern, common-sense
individual, had traveled to Europe
as a youngster, had been partially
tutored by a Japanese Quaker, and
was inherently against the war lords
. Many people criticized Grew for
this policy during the war years—
among them this writer. Therefore,
I should like to be among those—
as I have before—to pay him trib
ute on the wise policy which even
tually culminated in the peace treaty
at San Francisco.
Harding Defended- On top of
Herbert Hoover’s defense of the
late President Harding, Senator
O'Mahoney of Wyoming threw a
quote from Harding into the teeth
of Senators voting for special priv
ilege in the tax bill. It showed
Harding to be a man of basic ideal
ism even though weak about carry
ing out. . .Here is what Harding
said: . .we may call to universal
ervice every plant, agency, or fac
ility, all in the sublime sacrifice for
country, and not one penny of war
profit shall inure to the benefit
of private individual, corporation,
or combination, but all above the
normal shall flow into the defense
chest of the nation. There is some
thing inherently wrong, something
out of accord with the ideals of
representative democracy, when one
portion of our citizenship turns its
activities to private gain and de
fensive war, while another is fight
ing, sacrificing, or dying for na
tional preservation.’’. . .Senator O'
Mahoney, incidentally, has waged
tenacious fight for the little tax

—from the halls of Montezuma to
the shores of Tripoli—in crash
j landing boats, may not be crash
: landing any more. At least not in
boats. . .The Marines want to ab

gument is that when the boats
hit the beach, hundreds of men
are lost through hidden mines. In
addition, the boats make fairly easy
targets for machine-gun fire as
they come in, while men in dripping
uniforms and gear are weighted
down. . .Helicopters on the other

H. L. Faulkner, Juneau lawyer, returned Irom a business trip to
Ketchikan.
With 162 students, the Juneau High School had the largest enroll
ment in its history. Thirty-five pupils were using the new motorbus
which brought children living on the Glacier Highway to school. The
bus route was from Barnacle Gables to Juneau.
Lockie MacKinnon shot a hole-in-one on the Thane Golf Links
yesterday. It seems that the ball disappeared after Lockie clubbed it
and he searched for a half an hour before he thought to look in the
cup. The Gastineau Channel Dodo Club welcomed its new member.
Others who had made a hole-in-one shot were Gov. George A. Parks,
W. S. Pullen and Fred Henning.
Glenn Bartlett, former manager of the Gastineau Hotel, was re
cently named manager of the Windsor Apartment-Hotel in Seattle.
Ranger Charles Burdick of the Forest Service left for Port Frederick
and Chichagof Island on the Ranger VII.
George B. Grigsby, prominent attorney of Ketchikan, and daughter,
Miss Jane Grigsby, arrived on the Admiral Rogers. Grigsby had business
before the United States District Court in session.
Weather: High, 54; low, 42; cloudy.

Q. Is it considered proper for one to give a birthday party for
oneself?
A. While it is proper for one member of a family to give a birthday
party for another, it is not proper for a person to give his own birth
day party. At least, he should not announce it as such ahead of time
,—otherwise, it would give the impression that he is seeking gifts.
Q. When accompanying a woman to the dinner table, should a man
sit down at exactly the same time she does?
A. No. The man should draw out the chair for his partner, and
not sit down until she has seated herself.
Q. When should the bridegroom give his gifts to his best man and
ushers?
A. At the bachelor dinner cr party.
