JUNEAU WELCOMES DEWEY
Juneau turned out with a crowd of at least five
hundred at the reception last night for Governor
DCWey — as large a crowd as the Governor's house
has ever welcomed.
Was it that Governor Dewey, a national figure
and a leader of the Republican party might for the
third time be a candidate for the presidency in 1952?
Whatever the reason for the large welcome ac
corded the visiting celebrity, thanks are due Governor
Grucnlng for giving the general public an opportunity
to meet Alaska’s distinguished guest.
And the people responded to this unprecedented
opportunity with an equally unprecedented: enthusiasm.
. . . WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
Thanks to big headlines and sensational-loving
commentators, the people of the United States are
thtoroughly familiar with the “mink coat” episode
and the huge profits that a few people have made
through the cooperation of the five-per-cent boys in
Washington.
Not many have heard of the following newrs
stories:
ta) Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan
dismissed two officials because they accepted favors
from a company doing business wfth the government.
One of the men, it seems, bought a television ret and
an automobile at wholesale by using the comapny's
:redit.
<b> Raymond M. Foley, housing and home fi
nance administrator, overheard a chance remark that
led to the discovery that every employee in a re ional
office had received a “gift," including television sets,
liquor, watches and hosiery. He forced the return
of all gifts and set up a policy to prevent a repetition.
The first class of stories, while intersting to
people, does not indicate that most of those who
work for the government are looking for unearned, if
not dishonest dollars. Neither does the second class
of stories prove that all governmental official are
watching closely to prevent such incidents.

America Keeps Green
(Seattle Times!
Forest fire losses in the United States in 1950
were the second lowest in history, the United States
Forest Service reports. It was not quite as good a
year as 1949, when the all-time record low was es
tablished, but it added to evidence that new measures
adopted by states and forest industry to combat and
prevent fires are producing results.
One of these measures, of course, is the Keep
America Green movement which has alerted the
public all over the country to its responsibilities in
forest fire prevention. This state contributed that
to the safety of America's woodlands.
National defense seems to be like other things—
the price continually goes up.

in hearing you shout about it.

dependent editorial policies. They
have been consistent only in cri
ticising Senator McCarthy.
Significantly, McCarthy's char
ges have been hurled from the
safety and sanctity of the Senate
floor, though his critics have not
been protected by Senatorial im
munity but have been .subject to
the libel laws.
Hampers FBI Probe
2. Senator McCarthy has ham
pered the FBI’s legitimate invest
igation into Communism. For exs
ample, the FBI sent two agents
to question McCarthy about some
forged papers he used to support
his charges. McCarthy not only
refused to cooperate with the G
men, but ordered his staff not to
talk to them.
On another occasion, McCarthy's
chief investigator, Don Surine,
tried to evade the FBI in New
York City. Two agents had been
assigned to trail Surine, who once
was an FBI agent himself, but
was forced to resign. The FBI
wanted to find out who was feed
ing McCarthy’s oflice misinforma
tion about Communism. However,
Surine spotted the two agents, and
showed them his ten-year FBI
pin.
''It’s all right,” Surine assured
them. "We re working with Mickey
Ladd (an assistant FBI director.”)
Later, Surine slipped $10 to a
taxi driver, asked him not to tell
the two agents where he had
gone. In spite of Surine's tricks,
however, the agents kept on his
trail and discovered his source to
be Paul Walters, who is not an
expert on Communism at all but
has a record with tiic FBI as a
con man.
\ In witting Tool ol commies
3. Senator McCarthy has suc
ceeded where the Communists
have failed — in undermining the
U. S. government. Two chief tar
gets of Communist propaganda
have been Secretary of State Ach
eson and Secretary of Defense
Marshall. Yet McCarthy’s attacks
of Acheson and Marshall have
been more vitriolic and far more
damaging than the worst the Com
munists could manufacture.
In fact, the Senate armed cer
vices committee has pro )f locked
in its files that Senator McCarthy
once unwittingly worked with a
Communist ring to undermine the
American occupation of Germany.
McCarthy came out with sensa
tional charges that the army had
tortured German war criminals.
These charges were cooked up in
Germany and mailed to McCar
thy in brown manila envelopes.
However, McCarthy carelessly mis
placed one of these envelopes and
left it in the Senate Armed Ser
vices committee's hearing room.
This envelope contained the return
address of Rudolf Aschenauer of
Frankfurt, Germany, in the upper
left corner. Army intelligence of
ficers identified Aschenauer as a
member of a Communist ring,
which prepared the trumped-up
charges for McCarthy, then cir
culated McCarthy’s speeches in
Germany to stir up anti-Ameri
can feeling.
McCarthy's charges against the
army were investigated by a Sen
ate committee, headed by Repub
lican Sen. Ray Baldwin of Con
necticut. At the end of the hear
ings, Baldwin angrily summed up;
"More than 100 unarmed surren
dered American soldiers were bru
tally shot down in cold blood by
German SS troopers. To this day,
not one has been executed for
this crime. They have been tried
and convicted. There have already
been several reviews by the army
. . . yet oddly enough, Senator
McCarthy has been quick to ac
cept and espouse the affidavits
made by convicted German war
criminals some two years after
the completion of their trials. He
has in the meantime on numerous
occasions stated that he believed
American officers testifying under
oath were not telling the truth.”
Shouting back, McCarthy warned
that Baldwin would “bitterly re
gret this deliberate and very clev
er attempt to whitewash.”
4. Senator McCarthy has dis
regarded American principles of
justice and fair play in attacking
his victims. Senator Benton has
nearly 100 pages of examples of
how McCarthy has deliberately
lied in his pursuit of headlines in
stead of facts. For example, Mc
Carthy charged that Owen Latti
more was the "chief architect of
our Far Eastern policy.” This was
denied by all the living ■ secretar
ies of state sinve 1933, who poin
ted out that Lattimore had never
even worked for the State De
partment. Yet McCarthy contin
ued drumming in the same charge
—even though he knew it was i
not true — until he could boast
confidently to the Senate: "I be
lieve you can ask almost any
schocl child who the architect of
our Far Eastern policy is, and he
will say, ‘Owen Lattimore’.”
McCarthy’s Financial Sleight-of
Hand
5. Senator McCarthy’s ethics,
alone are enough to disqualify him j
from a seat in the Senate. For
example, McCarthy once boasted
to Sen. Clinton Anderson, New j
Mexico Democrat that he didn't
pay income taxes on all his lec- j
ture fees.
"You never heard of a United
States Senator going to ja*l for
income-tax violation,” McCarthy
shrugged.
In 1943, McCarthy negelected to
report $42,000 income in his Wis
consin tax returns. He argued that
he had been out of state, hence
was not a citizen of Wisconsin.
Yet at the same time, he held of
fice as a Wisconsin state judge.
In 1944, McCarthy liste 1 cdO.OOf
in contributions from his father,
brother, and brother-in-law. Yet
his father didn't have enough in
come to file a return that year,
and neither his brother nor bro
ther-in-law rlaimed moro than
! S2,000 income. The mystery of the
; $18,000 is still unsolved.
McCarthy was also paid S1C.U00
| by the Lustron Corporation for
; a housing pamphlet at a time
: when Lustron was $32,000,000 in
j debt to the government and ne?d
i ed friends in the Senate. \et the
i phamphlet was ciiictly the work
! of Walter Royall of the Housing,
j and Home Finance Agency, who
i is paid by the taxpayers. MoCar
! (hv officially rsques-tsi Retail to
I do the research.
McCarthy also has a notorn us
; reputation on Capitol Hill for Ins
| gambling. It is a matter of sworn
j testimony that Can Strandlund,
■ president of Lustron, tore up
checks lor McCarthy's neavy los
ses at th° caccs.
That's just a portion of McCar
thy's sordid record — a record
that Senator Benton feels should
disqualify McCarthy from the U.
S. Senate.
