FCC ‘Seriously
Concerned’ About
Security Of ‘Hams’
WASHINGTON, UP>— The Feder
%
al Communications System (FCC)
is “seriously concerned” about
security problems involved in the
licensing of thousands of radio
operators, Chairman Rosel H.
Hyde has advised Senator Wiley
(R-Wis).
An aide of Wiley said Saturday
the senator has urged the FCC to
establish security checks on li
cense applicants as a safeguard
against the use of radio transmit
ters by subversives, either in war
or peacetime.
In correspondence with the FCC,
he said, Wiley has raised the ques
tion of whether radio “hams”
(amateurs) and other licensed op
erators should be required to file
loyalty affidavits and be finger
printed.
The aide said Wiley, chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, feels that radio
“hams” could render a great pa
triotic service in disaster relief
and similar activities in case of
war and it is important to make
sure they are not infiltrated by
undesireables.
In a letter to the senator, Hyde
said the FCC “is seriously con
cerned with the security prob
lems created by the more than
235,000 radio transmitters licensed
by it and the approximately 800,
ooo radio operators who are capa
ble of utilizing this equipment.”
Hyde said 100,000 amateur sta
tions and operators now are li
censed in the United States.
Licenses are issued only to U.S.
citizens, Hyde said, and the FCC
reports to the FBI “suspicious or
possibly subversive operations”
discovered during its periodical
monitoring of the airways and
technical checks on stations.
Similarly, he said, the FBI noti
fies the FCC of any matters it
feels require the commission’s at
tention.
Hyde also said there has been
“a commendable degree” of self
government by the amateur radio
operators themselves.
“The number of suspicious op
erations on the part of amateur
stations reported to and received
from the FBI for the past year,”
Hyde said, “was quite small.”

Beta Sigma Phi
By CAROLINE READER
Last Thursday evening at the;
home of Terry Jackson, Alaska
Kappa Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi
held the Ritual of Jewels cere
mony for four o1i its members—
Shirley Goedde, Vivian Haymes,
Beverly Morgan and Harriet
Trumbull.
This ritual is given to the girls
at the end of their pledge training
period of about six months time in
the sorority.
The formally clad girls knelt
before a table set with tapers and
yellow roses and received their
new badges while pledging them
selves again to the ideals of Beta
Sigma Phi. Maybelle Lenert ren
dered several sorority songs dur
ing the reading of the ritual which
were a stirring addition to the
program.
After congratulations and pic
ture 'taking, a lovely cake for the
occasion and tea or coffee were
served to each girl.
Then from the quietness and
dignity of the ceremony a sudden
switch was made to the rollicking
noisiness Of square dance music.
It was only the girls taking ad
vantage of the opportunity to
practice square dances for box
social this Saturday evening. Con
fusion reigned at first with the
girls reminding each other which
were men and which were wo
men, but after a half hour’s prac
tice they went thru the dance
without an error.
There will be polkas, schot
tisches, Jo'hn Paul Jones’ and Vir
ginia Reels to please the dancing
tastes of all who attend. Saturday
promises to be fun, Fun, FUN and
we hope the girls, their husbands
and guests will have the most
difficult time of their lives in
finding an excuse not to come.

Iraq Aid Asked
In Jordon-Israeli
Border Crisis
JERUSALEM, Jordan Sector, W)
—Jordon appealed to Iraq for
troops, planes and arms Saturday
and issued orders to its army td
shoot on sight any Israeli troops
crossing the tense border.
The appeal to Baghdad came as
the Jordan cabinet went into
emergency session to plan the
next step in the border crisis that
arose with an Israeli raid on three
Jordon villages.
A spokesman for Gen. John
Glubb, the colorful Briton who
commands Jordan’s Arab Legion,
said the shooting-on-sight order
had gone out all along the border.
Jordan spokesmen said Friday
that 56 Arabs were killed in the
assault Wednesday but unofficial
reports here Saturday put the es
timated death toll at 70. In a hot
protest to Israel, Britain blasted
the attack as “apparently calcu
lated,” and British Foreign Secre
tary Eden asked the Big Three
foreign ministers to cite Israel
before the Security Council.
There has been no official ex
planation by the Israeli govern
ment, but Israeli newspapers indi
cated the attack was a reprisal
for a Jordan border raid on an
Israeli village earlier this week
in which three Israelis died.
2 Juneau Residents Win
$50 Prize For Designing
Territorial Police Badge
JUNEAU, Iff)—Two Juneau res
idents have been named as win
ners of the $50 prize for a design
for a territorial police badge.
The winning design was sub
mitted jointly by Mrs. Greta Vin
son, a widow, and Warren S.
Harding, retired deputy marshal.
Their badge, circular in shape,
incorporated the territorial seal in
its center with the words “Terri
torial” above the seal and “Police”
below it.
Four stars on each side repre
sent the eight in the Alaska flag.
The badge is topped by a stalking
grizzly bear.
Police Supt. A. P. Brandt said
the choice was unanimous from
67 entries.

Senator Blasts
A tty. General For
Clearing McCarthy
WASHINGTON, (Jt—Sen. Mon
roney (D-Okla) said Saturday that
Atty. Gen. Brownell, in finding
that Sen. McCarthy broke no
fraud or election law, “is giving
a clean bill to all the ugly features
of one of the dirtiest political
campaigns in recent history.”
Brownell announced Friday that
after looking into questions raised
by a Senate subcommittee, the
Justice Department found no evi
dence of fraud or election law vio
lations in McCarthy’s personal
finances or activities in the 1950
Maryland senatorial campaign.
While McCarthy’s income is still
under investigation by the Treas
ury, Brownell said, the depart
ment is bowing out of the matter.
He said it would make no further
inquiry and would seek no grand
jury action.
Similarly cleared was former
Sen. William Benton <D Conn),
whom McCarthy has accused of
campaign fund irregularities. Ben
ton had sought to havedidcCarthy
ousted from the Senaw*.
Monroney was chairman of the
Senate elections subcommittee
when, in early 1951, it investi
gated the 1950 Maryland cam
paign in which McCarthy helped
Republican Sen. John Marshall
Butler unseat the Democratic in
cumbent, Millard Tydings. The
subcommittee report called the
campaign a “despicable back
street type.”
