President Invites All 48
Governors to Washington
WASHINGTON, Ufi — President
Eisenhower has invited the 48
state governors to Washington to
give them a confidential “first
hand picture of present state of
the world and goal of the United
States in it.”
The White House said the Pres
ident sent a letter to the govern
ors asking them to come here for
a briefing by cabinet and other
administration officials.
It said the idea is to produce a
'better understanding of the need
he feels for full cooperation of the
governors in dealing with prob
lems confronting the nation as a
whole.
Old world camels and new
world lamas are closely related
and are believed to be the only
living members of their family of
animals.
In the Spring a Goat’s
Fancy Lightly Turns . . .
ANCHORAGE, UP— Life has tak
en on new interest for the billy
goats of Kodiak Island.
For the first time since the
billies were taken to the island a
year ago, they are outnumbered
by the womenfolk.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice reported Friday it flew three
more nannies to the island. That
makes five Bills and six Nans.
The service hopes that eventu
ally a combination of biology and
arithmetic will allow it to declare
an open hunting season for goats
on the island.
The captor of the three new
nannies got $400 apiece for them.

Ike Remains Silent
As His Party Splits
WASHINGTON — Observers in
Washington are wondering how
long President Dwight D. Eisen
hower is going to take major at
tacks on his administration, from
fellow Republicans, lying down.
The question was brought to a
head by the severe attacks on the
State Department and Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles.
The President has been ignor
ing these attacks, partially be
cause he is a master at developing
teamwork and partially because
they are not against him personal
ly. He had hoped that the new
administration could get off to a
smooth start without intra-party
fights. The recent tiff between
Sens. McCarthy, Bridges and oth
ers and Secretary Dulles, how
ever, got pretty bitter.
Lying in the background in this
struggle is the fact that some of
the Republican senators are de
vout MacArthur followers. They
really do not approve of the Eis
enhower - Dulles foreign policy
ideas, would like to see General
Mac put in a position to influence
U.S. policies. But Ike isn’t allow
ing that to happen. He doesn’t I
share MacArthur’s outlook.
In the recent fight between Dul
les and the senators over the nom
ination of Charles E. Bohlen as
ambassador to Russia, one of the
senators remarked that if Ike
knew all the facts he might re
consider. Later one went to see
Ike. Presumably Ike was given
the “facts,” but stuck by Bohlen.
Neither would the opposition
budge.
The senators carried on their
attack vigorously, stirred consid
erable doubt about Bohlen, some
about the new State Department,
maybe even some about Ike’s
judgment. Sooner or later Ike is
going to hit back, either quietly
or otherwise, if such attacks are
continued on his new team. Re
porters wonder when. *

a 1,000-foot tower at the Yucca
Flat proving ground and the At

forceful as some of those previous.
Strikes Blamed on
Communists and
Union Squabbles
SEATTLE, UP) — Communists
and jurisdictional union fights
were blamed for much of Seattle’s
waterfront troubles at the closing
session Friday of a three-day Con
gressional hearing on shipping
tieups at this major port.
During the final day, a union
spokesman warned that Commu
nists planned to shut down the
waterfront again this season and
an Alaska shipping executive said
passenger service to the territory
might be discontinued.
Communists were injected into
the testimony by James Willough
by, port agent for the AFL Marine
Cooks and Stewards Union, who
said that some ‘Communist liners’
still manage to infiltrate the wat
erfront despite efforts to stamp
out their influence.
D. E. Skinner, general manager
of the Alaska Steamship Co., made
the statement that his line’s four
passenger ships would be with
drawn after the 1953 tourist sea
son unless some way is found to
increase net revenue from that
service and waterfront peace is
guaranteed.
Skinner said Alaska Steam lost
$600,000 in combined passenger
and freight cancellations during a
prolonged tieup last year over a
jurisdictional fight among AFL
longshoremen and a group that
broke away and formed an inde
pendent union.
Willoughby’s warning on the
Communist menace along the wat
erfront followed by a day the
statement by Byron Gillam, rep
resentative of the Fairbanks
Chamber of Commerce, that a
master subversive plan might
have been behind the stoppages
since World War II.
Seattle civic and business offi
cials generally were of the opin
ion the problem could be worked
out at the local level. Alaskans
presented an almost solid front in
favor of federal legislation to in
sure maritime peace here.
Committee Investigates
Investigating Activities
Of The “Silent Dutchman”
WASHINGTON, UR —Henry W.
Grunewald, 60 year old “mystery
man” told a House committee to
day he was hired for an investiga
tion job by John L. Lewis at a
time when Lewis and his United
Mine Workers faced contempt
charges in federal court.
Grunewald refused to answer
when asked if his investigation
was directed at District Judge T.
Alan Goldborough, who later
fined Lewis $10,000 and the UMW
3 Vz million dollars for disobeying
a court back-to-work order. The
union’s fine later was reduced to
$700,000 by the Supreme Court. __
Grunewald, testified he was
paid $16,000 for his investigation
by the Mine Workers.
Grunewald, sometimes known
as “the Silent Dutchman,” said
he was introduced to Lowell May
berry, the Mine Workers’ chief
counsel, by Sen. Styles Bridges,
now president pro tempore of the
Senate. The gravelly-voiced wit
ness said Bridges told Mayberry,
“If you have any investigative
work to do, I recommend Henry
to you.”
Grunewald, now awaiting sen
tence on one contempt of Con
gress citation for refusing to talk
on previous occasions, was a re
luctant witness in a public session
before the House Ways and Means
subcommittee investigating' tax
frauds and political influence in
the Internal Revenue Bureau.
Total average taxes paid by
each man, woman and child in
the United States in 1952 was
$514.
