Acheson Attacks

Loyalty-Security
Program in U.S.
WASHINGTON, UP)—A new at
tack on the government’s loyalty
security program came today from
former Secretary of State Dean
Acheson, who charged the Eisen
hower Administration has magni
fied a “grave mistake” of Presi
dent Truman into Moscow-like
purge tactics.
Acheson, a close friend of the
former President, says in a new
book, “A Democrat Looks at His
Party, that Truman intended his
1947 order setting up the security
program to be carried out “with
fairness and restraint” but that
the opposite has happened.”
Acheson, as Truman’s secretary
of £tate from 1949 to 1953, was in
the center of the Communists-in
government controversy. His re
mark, widely quoted, that he’d
never turn his back on Alger Hiss,
added fuel to the flames of that
controversy.
The former State Department
head, now in private law practice,
does not discuss the case of Hiss,
a one-time State Department offi
cial who has served a prison term
for perjury involving the leakage
of official documents to a pre
World War II Soviet spy ring.
Acheson says the Eisenhower
Administration has sought in
many instances to impose “thought
control” on federal workers, and
he says the attitude of Atty. Gen.
Brownell “is unhappily typical of
the authoritarian mind.”
Brownell, in a comment not
linked directly to Acheson’s criti
cism, said yesterday he favors
changing the employe security
program by removing the manda
tory requirement that a worker
under investigation be suspended
pending a hearing.
He said the suspension, which
he will recommend to Congress,
should be discretionary with the
heads of departments and agen
cies.

FAIRBANKS, {^—There is a
friendly, folksy yet serious atmo
sphere at the Alaska Constitution
al Convention.
The 55 delegates have gathered
for the past week in the new Stu
dent Union building on the Uni
versity of Alaska campus. The
building was opened on the day
the convention began and there
have been sounds of further con
struction as a background to con
vention work.
Many delegates say they find it
fitting to be framing the constitu
tion in a new building on a cam
pus that is comparatively young.
The delegates sit in a half cir
cle facing the rostrum on one
armed chairs of the type used by
college students everywhere. Vol
uminous literature provided the
delegates by the Statehood Com
mittee is stuffed underneath each
chair and daily mimeographed re
ports of committees are added to
these piles.
^ The delegates willingly accept
material given them and spend
much of their recess poring over
material on the techniques of
framing a constitution.
They listen intently and rarely
need calling to order. Politics ap
pears to be minimized and Presi
dent William Egan says that not
one delegate has asked him for a
committee chairmanship.
During the morning recess, the
constitution framers don parkas
and boots, many of them espe
cially purchased for their stay in
the far north. They walk across
the snow-covered campus to the
old wooden cafeteria building for
coffee and, as the university pres
ident put it, “to see how the other
half lives.”
Egan has handled the gavel
with skill and good humor typified
by his response to remarks by
Seaborn Buckalew.
The Anchorage delegate object
ed when the expenditure of $5,000
was approved to tape record the
plenary sessions. He expressed
further dismay when the conven- j
tion hired a doorman and rose to
protest again over a motion to
purchase a new gavel to replace
one loaned to the convention. j
Egan answered the final protest |
by appointing Buchalew to the j
two-member comfiiittee to pur-1
chase the new gavel.

Hunter Recovering From
Goring by Mad Buck
GREAT FALLS, Mont., UP)—A
Great Falls hunter is recovering
in a hospital from a leg wound in
flicted by a pain-maddened deer.
Jess McDonald said he dropped
a two-point buck in the Highwood
Mountains. When he reached the
buck’s side, the animal sprang up.
In turning to get away, McDon
ald slipped and fell. The buck
charged, driving an antler through
McDonald’s right thigh. Pulling
away from the maddened beast,
McDonald rolled down a steep
50-foot hill into a small stream.
Looking back up the hill, he saw
the deer was going to charge
again. He retrieved his rifle,
which had dropped down the
bank, and fired point blank, kill
ing the buck.
With the aid of a friend, Mc
Donald brought the deer out.
