Der Heydt for Jobs
The people of Nome, and Alas
ka’s Second Judiciary Division,
have become somewhat alarmed at
the continued lack of a U. S.
judge and a district attorney. The
judgeship has been vacant since
j the resignation of former Judge
Joseph W. Kehoe, two months j
ago, to accept the position of Sec- ,
retary of Alaska. The district at-I
torneyship has been vacant since j
the President of the United States j
summarily dismissed the former |
incumbent, Frank Bingham, for j
continued absence in the states,
from his post of duty. This ab
sence ran into 11 months of his
last official year.
The Second Division Democratic
i Committee has endorsed Harold
jj. Butch!', Anchorage attorney,
for the judgeship, and James Von
der Heydt of Nome, present U. S. j
Commissioner and practicing at
torney, for the district attorney
ship, says the Nome Nugget of
November 14. Both names have i
in turn been presented by Delegate i
Bartlett to the Department of'
Justice at Washington, D. C.
They have alsq been endorsed;
by Alaska’s Democratic National J
Committeeman, Howard Lyng, of i
Nome and by the Northwestern j
Alaska Chamber of Commerce,
with headquarters at Nome. Nome
and the Second Division are pres
ently without a Bar Association.
The Department is now making
' their customary investigation by
the FBI, and this routine matter
should be completed within the
next 30 days or sooner, when their
names will be sent to President
Truman for appointment. What
is called a "recess appointment”
will undoubtedly be made, with
confirmation by the Senate, fol
lowing the resumption of the Con
gress next January.
Wendell P. Kay, a prominent
Anchorage Democrat, has the sup
port of a Democratic faction in
Anchorage for the judgeship. This
faction has voiced strong opposi
tion to Butcher.
Last Saturday, the Anchorage
Bar Association took formal ac
tion to declare both Kay and But
cher were qualified candidates for
the vacant Nome federal judgeship.
ATTENTION ODD FELLOWS
Visitors and members of Silver
! Bow Lodge are urged to attend the
regular meeting Tuesday, November

— EMPIRE WANT ADS PAY —
Opponents Spent
Money to Defeat
Him, Replies Taft
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26— Uf) —
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) describes as
"completely false” the assertion by
President Truman that "special in
terests” poured money into Ohio in
1950 to re-elect Taft to the Senate.
Testifying at a Senate hearing,
Taft said it was his opponents, not
his supporters, who poured out the
funds in the campaign. He added:
“They were guilty of excessive
use of money, pouring funds into
Ohio from every state in the
Union—they used false front or
ganizations, they sent carpetbag
gers and outside organizers into
Ohio, they based their campaign
on lies and misrepresentations
about my personal life.”
The campaign against him, Taft
declared, “represented a sinister
conspiracy” in which his opponents
"apparently would stop at nothing.”
' Taft, now a candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination
next year, was reelected to the Sen
ate in 1950 by a 430,000 vote margin
over Joseph T. Ferguson, his Demo
cratic opponent.
Ferguson charged during the cam
paign that excessive expenditures
were being made in behalf of Taft.
An investigation is being conduct
ed by Senate Elections subcommittee
headed by Senator Gillette <D
Iowa.)
Taft said he welcomed the in
vestigation if it also went into
expenditures by the opposition and
inquired into defamatory litera
ture Taft said was circulated
against him. Gillette said the
group would inquire into iall
phases of the campaign.
President Truman said in a recent
address to the National Democratic
I Women's Clubs here that “special
I interests poured money into Ohio
I last year" to elect Taft and “now
they will be thinking that if money
can win an election in Ohio, maybe
| money can win a national election.”

Communication
Dear Editor:
I agree with you. The headline
and text which appeared in the
November 23 issue of the Empire:
“Red ‘Garland Fundi Exposed” is
of the utmost interest to all Al
askans—both Democratic and Re
publican.
The reading of this article brought
to mind a questioh that vitally con
cerns all Americans, during these
fund raising days, namely: How
can a person, anxious to serve or
to contribute to a worthy American
cause, know, or learn from the
name of an organization, operating
LEGALLY in the United States, if
said organization is operating in the
interests of the United States or
in the interests of Russia. It evi
dently took the United States Gov
ernment 27 years (the Garland
Fund was started in 1922) to catch
on to the true purpose of this leg
ally constituted “American Fund
ior Public Service;” and it took the
DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE three
additional years to print the re
sults after they were published by
government investigators I Charity
can’t wait that long.
I also wonder if the article would
have been published at all if the
present Governor of Alaska hap
pened to belong to a different pol
itical party.
It appears, that for the sake of
politics, you overlooked the really
big question which your own feature
headline brings up before the pub
lic.
Yours Very Truly,
J. MALCOLM GREANY
EDITOR’S NOTE:—
The Juneau office of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation refused to I
let Empire staff members see a
copy of the House Un-American
Activities “Guide to Subversive Or
ganizations and Publications” on the
ground that it was a restricted doc
ument, although jt was published
March 3, 1951 and is available to
the public through the Superinten
dent of Documents.
The report of the California Sen
ate Committee, from which was re
printed the pages appearing in last
Friday’s Empire, was not brought
to our attention until October 26,
when Lew Williams referred to the
Garland Fund in his “Periscope”
column in the Wrangell Sentinel.
Although this was published in 1948,
neither Governor Gruening nor any
of the others named made any pub
lic statement disclaiming theiiK al
leged associations.
Mr. Greany speaks of party af
filiations and wonders whether the
article would have been published
ii Governor Gruening happened to
belong to a different political party.
