"There is nothing to hide in all
this,” he said. "All these trans
actions have been entirely above
board. If I desired to enter upon
a life of crime I should imagine
that easier ways could be found
than misappropriation or misuse of
Territorial funds.”
Reckless Charges
Bartlett concluded by defending
the Americanism of Governor Er
nest Gruening of Alaska and said:
"I cannot help feeling that these
charges which to my mind are
reckless in their nature were in
spired by political considerations
and nothing more. The Alaska
statehood cause is based upon the
good old American desire for equal
ity in citizenship and it will not i
be turned aside by any attacks of
this kind.”

REPLIES TO
CHARGES OF
SCHOEPPEL
(Continued from Page 1)
skilled in the use of the "big lie,' ”
Chapman added.
Senator Schoeppel sat in (he
committee room today as Chapman
made his prepared statement of
reply.
Chapman accused the senator of
clumsily "weaving together names,
dates and inciden's" to make it
appear that Chapman had some
thing to do with the Alaska state
hood committee hiring Randolph
Feltus as a lobbyist. Feltus was
described by Schoeppel as a former
agent for Communist Poland.
Statehood Involved
He quoted Schoeppel as having
said: "I have been advised that
the deal (hiring Feltus) was ar
ranged between Oscar Chapman
and Governor Gruening (of Alas
ka'. I have this fact on hearsay
evidence."
"There was no deal," the sec
retary declared flatly. He said Fel
tus was hired by the Alaskan com
mittee and he had nothing to do
with it.
Schoeppel had produced in the
Sena’e a photographic copy of
Chapman's oath of office as Un
dersecretary of the Interior in 1946,
from which a loyalty affidavit had
been stricken. The senator had
demanded an explanation.
Loyalty Affidavit
Chapman said he was sworn in
at a formal ceremony, at which it
is customary to administer only
the oath, leaving it to the em- '
ployee to sign the affidavit later.
He said he did so, and produced
a photographic copy of such an
affidavit bearing his signature.
He said he had previously signed
a loyalty oath in 1941, the terms
of which were definitely binding.
Chapman also submitted photo
graphic copies oi documents which
he said refuted Schoeppel’s accu-;
sation that he refrained in 1946
from signing an affidavit of loyalty
to the American form of govern
ment.
He said, he had signed such affi
davits in 1941, 194G, 1947 and 1949,
complying with various laws enact
ed by Congress.
General Denials
“I now turn to Senator Schoep
pel's references to my alleged con
nection with certain organizations,')
Chapman continued:
“1. I was never a member of the
American League Against War and
Fascism.
"2. I have no recollection of
sponsoring, and can find no record;
of having agreed to sponsor, a
meeting in 1940 under the auspices
of the Washington chapter of the
Descendants of the American Rev
olution.” He added the organiz
ation never has been placed on tile
attorney general’s list of subver
sives.
”3. I was chairman of the com
mittee on arrangemen's for a din
ner which the Southern Con- (
ference for Human Welfare and j
others gave on April 3, 1945 in
honor of the honorable Hugo L.
Black, Associate Justice of the Su
preme Court.” He added that j
group never was listed as subver
sive by the attorney general and
the dinner was attended by Pres
ident Truman, then Vice Presiderit,
Vice President Barkley, then a sen
ator, and other Washington no
tables.
Had Name Withdrawn
“4. My name appeared for a time
as a sponsor of the National Coun
cil of American-Soviet Friendship.
However in a letter dated Nov. 12,
1946, I withdrew the permission for
the use of my name in that con
nection. My action was taken
more than a year prior to the des
ignation of this organization as a
Communist front by the attorney
general on November 24, 1947.”
He added that "the names of
many loyal Americans” also had
been listed among the sponsors.
Delegate E. L. Bartlett, who rep
resents Alaska in Congress, also
had asked to testify. "I have
nothing to hide," Bartlett wrote of
charges S'choeppel had levelled
against him.
Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.),
who heads the committee, told
Schoeppel in a public letter “your
charges on the Senate floor are
of so serious a nature, involving as
they do the patriotism, integrity
and good faith of a Cabinet officer,
that an immediate hearing and
investigation clearly is required.”
O'Mahoney said his group will
hear later from ofhers mentioned
in Schoeppel's blast at the Interior
Department and certain leaders of
the fight for Alaskan statehood.
