THESE DAYS
--BY
GEORGFi E. SUKGLSKY
ANOTHER TANGLE IN THE WEB
It would seem that no more is
the question of loyalty raised than
up comes a tangled web of intrigue
to keep things quiet and off the
record. The Tydincs Committee was
used for that purpose in spite of
the fact that Senator Tydings and
his counsel, Edward Morgan, had
all the facts of the Amerasla case.
I happen to be a lover of the
Navy, and, as such. I want to pro
test agaihst the Tit titration of the
fine name and great character cf
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz as a
coVer-up for disloyalty.'It must be
ofc.iom: from what will follow .lhfet
the President's Commission on in
ternal security and individual rights
is doing jusi that. And I shall
quote from Admiial Nimitz estab
lishing the fact.
I am quoting from a report in
the New York Herald T ibune hy
one of its Washington cc.respond
ents, Robert J. Donovan, it seems
that’ the Herald Tribune W ashing
ton Bureau telephoned to Admiral
Nimitz, who was in California, to
inquire about this new commission
which was organized to run inter -
ference with the McCarran Con*
mittee of Congress.
Now, it appears irom wnat Ad
miral Nimitz said that Donald S.
Dawson, assistant to the President,
is really .in . charge of this com
mission, hiring tile stiff, inejudip;'.
I assume, the counsel. Thei*e erti
rumors afoot that it is intended to
employ as counsel. Edward ,'Mcrgal},
who served the Tydih'S Committee,
which did such an outrageous white
washing job that Senator Tydings
was defeated in his. campaign for
re-election last November on that
issue alone. Edward Morgan was
also related to tne wnnewasn or
those real!; responsible t-.r Pearl
Harbor.
Donald &. Dawson is in n lot of
trouble, having been named as one
of the operators in the use of
undue influence in relation to the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
which Senator Fuibright is investi
gating.! li’hlle hjei'iS<i«
dent’s" office, nis wife. AM'S EfctWSOn,
is acting as in charge of the general
files of the RFC. The Fulbrnht
Committee deals with this develop
ment in the RFC since Jesse Jones
was forced,out of there after
magnificent service for his cofcwj*
It is to be recalled that Jesse
Jones advocated the abolition of the
RFC.
About Sen tor Fuibright’s in
vestigation nn ch will be said, but
it is to he expected that a govern
ment employee is loyal not to Harry
Truman or to the Democratic Party
but to the United States of America.
When the name of Admiral Nimitz
was used to give . this commission
a good front, its>Mf su-tpacted in
many quarters tfiiit The President
feared the consequences of a first
rate investigation by Senator Me
Carran.
But nobody assumed that the or
ganizing of the commission was
being done in the White House and
ty Donald S. Dawson, who is him
self under investigation by the Ful
bright Committee.
Admiral Nimitz was apparently
informed over the telephone of the
various suspicions .concerning his
commission. Of this, he said:
"That is outside my field. I as
sume that something like this en
deavor is necessary because it was
ordered. If I am given a job to
do, I go ahead and do it.”
That might be all right for a
shavetail; it is not a correct posi
tion for a man of Admiral Nimitz'
stature. Millions of Americans be
lieve in hint, as they believe in
General Iks Elsenhower. They trust
these men because they have sacri
ficed themselves and risked much
for their country. It is assumed that
they by nature ar.d vocation,
no’ -rclitk ■ i and that they have no
per-anal r.rbition. other than to
serve their country.
Therefore, when such a men is
u:"d to front for a job that is
actually b: ing done by Donald S'.
Dawson, who is being accused by
Senator Fulbright’s Committee of
bringing politics and favor into the
RFC, it is not in the public interest.

Why is Dawson in this at ail? 1
! We know from experience with the
Nye Committee and the La Folletlc
i Committee that improper counsel
1 and improper investigations can so i
1 contuse a situation that the big ■
nen who sit ■ behind mahogany'

it £(, this comrnisficn■ an loyalty is
h,i the White House and 'is being
run by Dawson, and Admiral Ni- ]
nritz is ip this because he is "given
i job to do.’'

. or Admiral Nimitz. Certainly, it is |
.i0t good for the American people.

Dufresne and his wife KSpndy.*
| ..re now established' in a beautiful
j home in Boston Harbor, on Pit.jet;
i ■Sound, seven miles from Olympia; r
; v»'ado.
“Our house Is fust 30 feet back
from the water,” said Dufresn”.
“As a matter c” fact, when 1 miw

Sound.”
Tim ares in which their heme (
is loc .tei i very similar to that
of Auk Bay, Dufresne said, and
looking out from their porch is1
like looking out from the head of I
the Eay on Glacier Highway. !
"Confidentially, i believe that is1
I why Klondy chose Boston Harbor
for our home,-'’ said Dufresne. “She
preceded me to the coast from
Chicago to locate a place for us;
1 to live and my -only request was'
that it be near water reasonably
close to fishing and hunting spots, j
When I reached our hew home I I
| could have believed I was back
15;i Alaska.
Dufresne said they can shoot
■„.ucks from the shore in front of
t'lie house and the salmon fishing
in the Harbor is excellent. Pheas
: nt and quail also are numerous
light at home. On their own
■ rounds they grow fruit trees and
: \ eve table and flower gardens.
The Dufresne’s son and daugnter

their homes in the Boston Harbor
; community. Franklin, who is with
j the Standard Oil Company in Olym

live nearby and Virginia, Mrs. R.

now visiting with Mrs. Dufresne
will be joined shortly by her hus
