GOP TO BACK TAFT
SAYS AL WHITE ON
RETURN TO JUNEAU
Albert White, geneial counsel of
the Republican party in Alaska, re
turned to Juneau yesterday after
several days in Seattle.
In Seattle he attended a meet
ing of over 100 prominent Repub
lican leaders who are promoting
Senator Robert Taft’s nomination
to be the next Republican Presi
dential candidate. White said that
Taft has said he would run if the
majority of his party wanted him
and the OOP now has the draft
under way.
‘•As of the moment,” White said,
"the outlook is that Truman will
seek re-election as it seems every
other Democrat has been forced in
to the background. Those Demo
crats who want Truman feel that
if he runs General Ike Eisenhower
will not. as Eisenhower is on record
as not wishing to run against his
Commander-in-Chief.
"The Democratic back-wash.
White continued, “that Taft is a
smart man but cannot be elected
Is being dispelled at a rapid pace
as it is being shown that he has
run for many public offices and
has never been defeated. He carried
Ohio by the largest majority ever
afforded a Senatorial candidate.
This included all the larges cities
and factory centers where the La
bor vote rules the result."
White said the Hi lublicans fee)
that Taft is one of the best equip
ped men for the crisis of today in
domestic and foreign affairs and
also feel that he would put up a
fighting campaign to bring before
the people the vital issues which
confront the nation and the fact
that the people now feel the Dem
ocratic party has been in power too
long to be effective.
"As to Alaska," White said, "ef
forts will be made to determine if
the recently passed Reorganization
Bill is legal. The present adminis- I
tration talks out of both sides of:
its mouth. It is for statehood, for
greater liberty for the people of
Alaska, but the Governor, in spite
of the Attorney General’s ruling
that the bill is illegal, signed the
bill that does away with the dir
ect election of a Treasurer and
Auditor which has always been the
right of the people. In place of
these offices, the bill puts in charge
of Alaska a group of self-interes
ted politicians. Those who did not
get on boards are appointed U. S.
Marshals.
"The recent granting of a certi
ficate to the Alaska Airlines to
fly to the states in opposition to
pioneer lines which have blazed
the air trails to Alaska, does not
ring the bell. For with Stanley
McCutcheon head political mentor
of this administration in Alaska,
who has been under the Palmer
airport investigation, President of
Alaska Airlines and the reported
influence of other high official!
associated with McCutcheon. other
air lines are wondering what will
be coming next.
"As to the Republican situation
in Alaska," White concluded, "the
recent Congressional Record prin
ted the recommendation of Gover
nor Gruening, made in a Fairbanks
speech as reported editorially in
the Daily Alaska Empire, and I am

WASHINGTON. June 5 — '/P! —
Widespread prosecutions of indi
vidual members of the U. S. Com
munist party for plotting violent
overthrow of this government ap
peared certain today.
The Supreme Court opened the
doors for an extensive program of
such actions when it upheld yes
terday the convictions of 11 top of
I ficials of the party charged with
; a conspiracy of force against con
stituted U. S. authority.
In an historic 6-2 decision de
j Iivered by Chief Justice Vinson, the
court held constitutional the 1940
| Smith Act outlawing plots of vio
lence, and said the activities of the
| Communist leaders involved "a clear
and present danger" to the United
States.
The group, the court said, "intend
ed to overthrow the government of
the United States as speedily as the
circumstances would permit.”
Jail terms up to five years and
fines of $10,000 assessed against the
11 in the New York Federal Dis
trict Court in October, 1949, after
a long and stormy trial, were af
firmed.
