NOT SO I1AD, AT THAT
Those of us who take a pessimistic view of the
day's news won’t feel quite so badly on a second look
at recent foreign news. A sample of news reports
from other countries shows:
<li The government of Brazil ordering the mili
tary forces to restore order in the State of Maranhao
in a state of turmoil as a result of a struggle be
tween two groups for office. Some dispatches tell of
armed bands attacking interior villages.
(2) French police discovered an arsenal of ex
plosives in the home of an alleged party member.
They think that this solves the riddle of the wave
of terrorism that swept France last August.
(3) in Colombia, a prominent Liberal was found
shot dead on a street. Government investigators seek
to discover the mystery surrounding his death.
(4.i Singapore police seek to solve a mysterious
explosion which injured 28 persons during a cele
bration in that city. They suspect a Communist ter
rorist used a home-made bomb.
(51 In Manila, the governor of Quezon Province
rests in a hospital, after being held three days and
nights by kipnapers . His family paid a $15,000 ran
som for his freedom.
16> In Teheran, Iran, a court sentenced a young
man to death for the assassination of the Minister
of Education.
<7> A near-famine in meat, that lasted almost
a week, ended in France when butchers decided to
reopen for business pending adjustment of their de
mands against the government which has instituted
retail price regulations.
(8> According to the Labor Ministry, slavery is
increasing in Japan. During the past fiscal year, 1579
were sold into bondage. Most of the slaves sold were
children of poverty stricken families.
All of the above items wer noted on the inside
pages of one issue of a metropolitan newspaper. bo
attempt was made to collect items; we merely noted
them as we read. Maybe, despite the crepehangers,
Juneau isn't such a bad place, after all.
ANOTHER MILITARY PRESIDENT?
“Your remarks in relation to my being a candi
date for the presidency, are very flattering, but I
think you will know without the necessity of my
saying to you, that I am not and never shall be
an aspirant for the honor. My opinion has alw’ays
been against the elevation of a military chief of that
position.”
So wrote Zachary Taylor, whose birthday we
celebarted on the twenty-fourth day of this month,
less than three years before he was elected to the
high position of twelfth President of the United
States.
Zachary Taylor was born in Virginia. His father,
Colonel Richard Taylor, an officer in the Revolutionary
War, moved to Louisville, Kentucky, when Zachary
was a small child. There he lived until he was
twenty-four years old, working on a plantation and
receiving only an elementary education.
When an older brother, who had received a com
mission in the Army of the United States died,
Zachary was appointed to fill the vacant commission.
In 1812, with fifty men, most of whom were ill,
Taylor defended Fort Harrison, on the Wabash,
against a large force of Indians, led by Tecumseh.
His distinguished military carer was climaxed by his
Victoria against Mexico in 1846.
His brilliant military achievements created great
enthusiasm throughout the country, and in 1848, he
was nominated by the Whigs and elected to the
Presidency.
During the short period of about one year, in
which he served as President before his death, dis
cussion centered aroun lthe extension of slavery, the
admission of California as a State and the Mexican
boundary.
In observing the anniversary of a soldier who
became President, it is interesting to note that this
country may again next year, have an opportunity
to put into the highest office of our land a man
who has gained his fame on the field of battle.

Catholics Plan McCarlhyism
• Word from inside the Catholic
hierarchy is that Bishop Emmet M.
Walsh, coadjudicator of Youngs
town, Ohio, had a great deal to do
with that part of the Catholic
Bishop’s statement aimed at Sen
ator McCarthy.
Bishop Walsh, former Bishop of
South Carolina, is now chairman of
the legal department of the Na
tional Catholic Welfare conference
and was appointed by President
Truman as a member oi the Admir
al Nimitz Commission to scrutin
ize loyalty and suspected Commun
ism in Government.
Ex-Sen. John Danaher of Con
necticut, a leading lay Catholic, was
also appointed a member of the
Nimitz committee, which was killed
because of opposition from Senat
ors McCarthy and MeCarran.
Originally, McCarthy got his
Communist-purge idea from a
Catholic professor at Georgetown
University, Father Edmund Walsh.
The Senator had asked Father
Walsh and Col. William A. Roberts,
prominent Washington attorney,
how he could keep his name before
the public. McCarthy said that, in
order to be re-elected in Wisconsin,
he would have to pick some im
portant issue and become a national
figure.
Colonel Roberts suggested that,
since Wisconsin is on the. Great
Lakes, McCarthy campaign for the
St. Lawrence Seaway; also that
he campaign for better Social Se
curity benefits. Father Walsh ad
vised that whoever campaigned on
the issue of Communism in govern
ment would become the most popu
lar figure in the country.
However, many of the Catholic
hierarchy feel that McCarthy was
not only late in accepting Father
Walsh’s advice, since the campaign
against Communism inside the gov
ernment had been started long
before, but that he smeared tar too
many innocent people. Furthermore,
the hierarchy never approved the
quickie divorces McCarthy handed
down for special friends when a
judge in Wisconsin.
These were some of the factors
which led to the scathing words
directed at McCarthy in the Bish
ops’ statement unanimously adopted
by the 132 Bishops last week, which
read:
“In their speech and in their ac
tions, they 'elected officials) are
bound by the same laws of justice
and charity which bind individuals
in every other sphere of human ac
tivity. Dishonesty, slander, detrac
tion, and defamation of character
are as truly transgressions of God’s
commandments when resorted to by
men in political life as they are for
all other men.”
MERRY-GO-ROUND
There are now 6,000 press agents
on the government payroll—and
look at the press the government
is getting!. . .Senator Welker of
Idaho is so sore at crime probes
that he's ordered his staff not to
speak to crime-buster Senator Ke
fauver. Welker has also blocked
various moves of the D. C. crime |
probe. . . it’s hard to believe, butj
| one British-Egyptian argument is
'over the official Suez rat-catcher.
Sore at the British, this Egyptian
gentleman has gone on strike. And
since rats are serious problem cap
able of carrying bubonic plague, i
the British are worried. . .Tip to j
Congressional investigators: There |
rr.ay be an interesting link between 1
Deputy Tax Commisisoner Dan Bo- ]
lich and Henry Grunewald, who j
tapped Howard Hughes’ telephone i
wires for Senator Brewster and Pan I
American Airways. Grunewald, who !
handled some tax cases, had a j
house near Bolich's at Spring Lake, j
N. J. . . .Lipe Henslee, the resign- 1
ed Internal Revenue collector in j
Nashville, has refused to enter a '■
government hospital for dope ad-1
diets. At first Henslee hid out from
Narcotics agents, finally was warn- J
ed that if he didn’t turn up they'd
issue a warrant for his arrest.
Henslee then wasted no time put
ting in an appearance, was told he!
would be picked up if he were ever I
caught taking dope again.
TWO OHIO FAMILIES
One undisclosed reason why j
some Taft Republicans are push-1,
ing genial Congressman George I
Bend#r to run for Governor of!
Ohio is complaints from local lead
ers that two families, Taft and
Bolton, are grabbing more than
their share of Ohio’s political plums.
Bender is being urged by such
rabid Taftites as Ben Tate and
Dave Ingalls to run against the
Senator’s Liberal brother, Charley.
However, most GOP organization!
leaders in Ohio are for brother
Charles.
Another family with a double
take on top political spots is the
Boltons. Oliver Bolton, son of the
wealthy Congresswoman, Frances P.
Bolton, has announced for th GOP
nomination for representative in
another district, the Eleventh.
Mrs. Bolton, incidentally, has an
excellent record in Congress, sticks
to her job, doesn’t waste time with
social fol-de-rol. Charley Taft, who
has a distinguished record as a
progressive both in Washington and
Ohio, has always campaigned for
GOP candidates except during one
election when he was in the State
Department. Both this column and
Ohio Gopers were mistaken in re
porting that Charley had once vot
ed for Roosevelt. He has always
voted the Republican ticket.
DEPUTY MARSHAL BRINGS

Smith brought another prisoner,
Harry Ukas, from Wrangell. Ukas

LIONS BOARD MEETING
Board members and officers of
the Dougas Lions Club met this
week at the home of Joseph Kend- 1
ler, Jr. Business of the evening in
cluded plans for a big community
doings during the month of Feb
ruary, possibly during Valentine
week.
William Boehl, was elected chair
man of the local ice skating pro
ject, which has been sparkplugged
and started by James Doyle. Boehl
stated he would ask volunteers to
turn out Sunday to haul beach sand

Following the business meeting,
Mrs. Kendler served refreshments
to those present.
Army and Navy,
Beth Win Hungry,
Clash Tomorrow
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30 — W —
Army and Navy — two football
teams hungry for victory — meet in
Municipal Stadium tomorrow in the
service classic of the year.
The West Pointers, who have a
record of t wo wins in eight starts,
are a lean lot. Only two players
remain of the approximately 30
who saw action against Navy last
year—the result of expulsions on
charges of cribbing.
Navy, in turn, has only a triumph
over Columbia and a 7-7 tie with
Yale to show on the credit side in
its eight-game schedule.
The Army team has been likened
by many to the smoldering embers
of a fire that burned brightly for
years and then flickered low.
Coach Earl (Red) Blaik believes
his Black Knights of the Hudson
have one possible burning hope —
they are fired with enthusiasm.
Navy, upset victor over Army last
year, is in the unfamiliar role of the
favored. In the series starting in
1890, Army has won 27. Navy 20
and four games have ended in ties.
