"AND BABY MAKES
THREE" COMEDY AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
The delicate dilemma in which
a bride-to-be finds herself when
she learns that she is going to have
a baby by her divorced husband is
reported to be the springboard for
the hilarious events that occur in j
the Capitol Theatre's feature, “And
Baby Makes Three." The Columbia
comedy which will arrive tonight,
! stars Robert Young and Barbara
Hale, with Robert Hutton. Janis
Carter and Billie Burke heading
! the supporting cast.
In the "expecting” picture. Young |
who contributed, in no small way,;
| to the laughs in “Sitting Pretty,” i
and Miss Hale, that wonderful girl in j
j “Jolson Sings Again," team up for |
; the biggest howl in town. From the
moment that Miss Hale finds she
is “that way,” the merry action is
| reported to proceed at a very rapid
| clip, with laugh piling on laugh.
Young and Miss Hale engage in j
! a fight as to how they’re going to \
; share custody of the child, batter- ;
I ing each other from pillar to post,
: figuratively speaking, of course.
I In order to lay a solid legal claim
to the child, Young enkindles an old
I romance with Miss Carter, whose
former association caused Miss Hale
1 to divorce him in the first place.
But twin bombshells fall on Miss
i Hale in the form of information that
she isn’t pregnant nnd that her for
mer spouse is innocent of any mis
conduct; how she then finds an
; ingenious way to bring her ex-hus
! band back through a convulsively
funny tactic, should make for unres
; trained laughter.

CLEANERS
COMMUNICATION
To The Editor,
Daily Alaska Empire:—
This is written to point out sev
eral inaccuracies of fact in the ed
itorial appearing in last nght’s Em
pire iSeptember ID entitled “Sen
ator Schoeppel's Disclosures."
When I was in New York on
other business last March I was
asked by Delegate Bartlett to check
with former clients of Randolph
Feltus, who was being considered
by the Alaska Statehood Committee
for employment as a lobbyist for
the statehood bill. It is true as
you say that I talked with several
officials of the Indonesian Trade
Commission, all of whom recom
mended Feltus highly and said he
had done an extremely able job for
them under difficult circumstances.
It is not true as you go on to say
that "no further check, apparently
was made into Feltus’ background
and previous employment as a lob
byist."
In addition, I talked to various
officials of Pan American World
Airways for whom Feltus had also
worked—and as I recall it was still
working at that time—as a lobbyist.
They also recommended Feltus
highly. He had also done similar
work for Henry Kaiser, for Colonial
Airlines, and had been appointed
by Secretary of the Treasury Fred
Vinson (now Chief Justice Vinson
of the Supreme Court) as Assistant
to the Secretary, in charge of pub
lic relations. I reported what I
had learned to Delegate Bartlett
in Washington.
You make the categorical state
ment further along in your editorial
that "he (Feltus) was not among
those present at the statehood
hearings held this spring at Wash
ington.” The fact is that Feltus
was present throughout the hear
ings. I recall particularly that at
one of the sessions I asked the
chief lobbyist on the other side, Mr.
W. C. Arnold of Seattle, who hap
pened to be sitting next to me,
"Who is that fellow?” when Feltus
entered the room, and was inter
ested in the reply indicating that
Feltus was at least at that time
unknown to Arnold. Subsequently,
it appears, Mr. Arnold has found
out about him. ,
in speaking of Feltus' remunera-!
tion you say he “enjoyed briefly
the distinction of being the highest!
salaried Territorial employee, sur- J
passing even George Sundborg,
whose reputed income from the1
Territory is reported to be in ex- j
cess of $14,000 a year.” I have no |
knowledge of what Feltus may have
been paid, but I am acutely aware
of my own income as contrasted
with the exaggerated statements
which have been made recently i
about it. Instead of $14,000, as you
infer, my total income from the1
Territory (paid to me as Consult
ant for the Alaska Development
Board) is $3,600 a year. This is a
matter of public record which you
can easily verify right here in Ju
neau and which will save you the
bother of using all those "reputed”s :
and “reported”s. My Federal salary
as Executive Assistant to the Gov- :
ernor, including the differential for
Alaska service, is $8,250 per year.
The total you will see falls some
what short of what has been so
repeatedly alleged. Inquiry dis
closes, in fact, that there is one
Territorial official and at least 30
Federal officials in Alaska who are
paid higher salaries than the total
I receive from the Federal Gov
ernment and the Territory.
Yours for accuracy, even in ed
itorials and' even in a year of pol
itical campaigns.
George Sundborg
BARTLETT ON SUNDBORG'S I
INVESTIGATION OF FELTOS j
We quote from Delegate E. L.
Bartlett's statement made before
the Senate Committee on Territor
ies and Insular Affairs September
7:
' Mr. Feltus nad, as I recall, told
us of having worked for Colonial
Airlines, Pan American World Air
ways and the Indonesians. We
made some inquiries about him in
Washington and all responses were
favorable. It so happened that Mr.!
George Sundborg consultant for the j
Alaska Development Board, was in
New York and I called him on the J
telephone there and asked him if!
he would make inquiry in view of!
the fact that Randolph Feltus As
sociates had their offices at 128
East 56th Street New York 22, New
York, to determine what the stand
ing of the firm was. Mr. Sundborg
reported back that he had con
tacted the Indonesian group and
Mr. Feltus had been recommended
most highly. Mr. Sundborg had, of
course, nothing to do with the sel-1
ection of Mr. Feltus.”
The Little Man Who Wasn’t There
As to Mr. Sundborg’s objection to
the Empire’s statement that Mr.
Feltus “was not among those pres
, ent at the statehood hearings” The
| Empire based its assumption on
the following statement ol Senator
O'Mahoney in the Congressional
Record of September 5:
“Now, let me say, Mr. President,
that I have asked Mr. French of
our staff to make a search of the
files of our committee. Mr. French
was cooperating with the Senator
from New Mexico (Mr. Anderson)
and the Senator from Nebraska
(Mr. Butler) throughout the hear
I ings on the question of statehood
for Alaska. I wanted to know
! whether Mr. Feltus had ever ap
peared before the committee, or
1 had ever addressed any communi
cation, either written or oral, to the
committee. Mr. French has Just
handed me a note: ,
‘There appears no communication
in the committee files from Mr.
Feltus. He has never, to my knowl
edge been in the committee room.
I did not stop work on Alaska
statehood and never heard his name
mentioned until today.”
So, though Mr. Feltus was pres-1
ent at the hearings—and we thank)
Mr. Sundborg for the information!
—no one on the committee, appar- j
ently, knew he was there.
Senator O'Mahoney says further: (
“So, Mr. Feltus in his lobbying for
statehood for Alaska did not ap
pear before the committee or speak
to any of the members of the com
mittee. The Senator from Neb
raska (Mr. Butler) has stated that
he never heard of him before. So
Mr. Feltus did not try to do any
work either with the advocates or
opponents of Alaskan statehood
who are members of the commit
tee.”
Senator Lucas, majority leader of
the Senate, said during the Scho
eppel disclosures September 5: "It
would appear that perhaps Mr. Fel
tus would at least get acquainted
with the majority leader of the
Senate with respect to Alaska and
Hawaii. I want to say that the
first time I ever heard the man's
name was when I heard the state
ment made by the Senator from
Kansas. So Mr. Feltus apparently
does not have the influence around
the Capitol that some persons at
tribute to him.”
Mr. Sundborg’s Income
Regarding Mr. Sundborg’s income,
the Empire should have been more
explicit.
Between April I, 1949 and April
1, 1950, Mr. Sundborg's Income from
the Territory of Alaska was $6,856.
76. Of this sum $3600 was his
salary as Development Board con
sultant; $1289 49 was the sum he
received for travel and transport
ation and $1967.27, per diem and
expenses. Add to this his $8250.
federal salary as executive assist
ant to the Governor, and total In
come of Mr. Sundborg from the j
Territory and federal government
is $15,106.76 and $3256.76 of thatj
sum is "travel and transportation”
and "per diem and expenses." It'
also comes out of the taxpayers'
pockets.
