BUT IS IT A GENUINE BONANZA?
I
ALASKA DAY
Courage is written on all the pages of history
which comprise the 87 years that Alaska has been
under the American flag.
It took courage to be a pioneering Alaskan, courage
to stay in the rugged unknown country and work out
a destiny against great odds, not only within the terri
tory, but from the distant and not-too-understanding
control in Washington, D.C.
Against all these adversities, Alaska continues to
grow and thrive and its freedom loving people are
frequently envied for their special freedoms.
Alaska has a bright future on this 87th anniversary
of Alaska Day. Its people know that with its water
power, its mineral wealth, its oil and gas, its growing
population, its initiative and willingness to work it will
be the richest and most self-sustainng part of the Union.
As the eyes of the nation are today turned to
Alaska for a signal in the political trend of the nation,
so will they turn to Alaska for leadership as it takes
its place among the states of the nation.
WINTERIZE-OR-BUST!
In case nice, round figures have a fascination for
you, it may be exciting to know that American motor
ists will use 80,000,000 gallons of anti-freeze this
winter. It is also safe to predict that thousands of
these motorists will put off getting same until the
first freeze takes them by surprise—when they will
all rush to their service stations, causing the fanciest
jam-up the long-suffering station operator has yet seen.
This can be visualized by remembering what happed
last year and considering that there will be a million
and a half more cars and trucks than ever before
requiring winter protection.
Thus, the automobile industry and, more especial
ly, your service man, are hoping everybody will ob
serve Anti-Freeze Week—from October 18 to 23—by
getting his car readied up for the rough road ahead.
If you put it off till it’s a case of anti-freeze-or
bust, there won’t be time for proper flushing, checking
for leaks and the other jobs that will make winter
driving safer, easier—and probably less expensive.

This Is One Battle
Republieans Won’t
Win, Says Johnson
SEATTLE, UP) — The Republi
cans, says Sen. Johnson <D-Tex>,
“have won many battles — every
one against tho American people,”
and now he told a Seattle audi
ence Friday night, they are about
to lose an election.
Pledging his party, for which
he is Senate minority leader, to
oppose President Eisenhower only
when party principle is involved,
Johnson said he could not agree
that the people must elect a Re
publican Congress because it
named a Republican president in
1952.
“I doubt whether that idea ap
peals strongly to the American
people,” he told a capacity crowd
at a $25-a-plate Jefferson-Jack
son Day dinner.
“Congress is not merely a tail
to wag approval for the presiden
tial dog. It is an independent body
elected to transact the business of
the American people.”
“No, I am not one of those who
claim that the Republican admin
istration is a ‘do-nothing’ admin
istration,” he said. “I don’t think
it is dynamic. 1 don’t think it is
progressive. But it certainly has
| done something to make so many
. Democrats in such a brief period.”

around himself — a myth he de
scribed as “tlie trap, which in
pudiated the legend he had built
part had been laid by my own
glib tongue.”
A report linking an Adelaide
Case to' alleged Communist front
activities was described by Case
as a “vicious smear campaign.”
He suggested it was the result
of mistaken identity.
The Newark Star - Ledger
Thursday quoted Bella Dodd, an
admitted ex-Communist, as say
ing she knew an Adelaide Case
in several purported Communist
front groups. She said the woman I
was not a Communist.
Case said, “apparently Miss
Dodd referred to another Ade
laide Case who was a college pro
fessor in New York City and who
died in 1948.” He said his sister
was 31 at the time whereas Miss!
Dodd, in a letter published Fri- |
day by the Star-Ledger, recalled i
that the woman she knew “was a |
middle-aged lady.”
Case’s sister, a teacher of physi
cal education at a private school
near Detroit, has made no com
ment of her own.

“I just wanted to get the kids
away from in front o'f my house.”
The officers arrested 28-year
old William Farmer, anyway.

SUSPICION ALLAYED
“City Hall,” said the operator
on the switchboard as she plugged
in an incoming call. But there was
silence from the other end.
“City Hall,” she repeated, still
getting no response. “City Hall;
To whom did you with to speak?”
Finally the voice at the other
end said softly: “To nobody, I
guess. I found this number in my
husband’s pocket.”

j formed the conference that he
I had requested a Juneau architect
1 to appraise the condition of the

gether with the local Board of
Trustees, to present a recommen

ing o'r to replace it.
Rev. Gould stated that the pre- j
